There is no spoon

A quote from The Matrix, spoken by Neo in reference to a bit of wisom he learned from a child bending spoons with his mind. It signifies that a person cannot truly manipulate reality, a person can only manipulate him/herself. Only when a person changes him/herself can he/she change reality.

Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, only realize the truth... THERE IS NO SPOON. Then you will see that it not the spoon that bends, it is yourself.

There is no Spoon

A phrase popularized by Keanu Reeve's character Neo in The Matrix, acting as a turning point for Neo's mentality regarding the reality of the Matrix.

There is no spoon

The first meaning is that you can't change the world, because you don't have control over it. But you can change yourself and your perceptions of the reality. Later in the movie, in the elevator scene, it means that the impossible only is impossible for those who don't dare to make it possible. It means that you can break barriers if you believe in yourself. Neo feared that going up to the top of the building holding up the elevator cable is something crazy. But them, he remembered the spoon boy, and, as there is no spoon, there is no impossible, c'os he believed he could do it.

A: - Oh, my! This is impossible!
B: - No! There is no spoon! (and the job is done).

There is no spoon

A phrase in the Matrix that is telling Neo that all problems in this life and dimension are merely an illusion within his mind, so he can’t do anything about this until he stops applying himself subjectively to everything in this world and learns to cope with knowing this information. The spoon is a metaphor for attachment.

There is no spoon. All of your problems are within your own mind.
