Ernst Stavro Blofeld: James, you gave up everything for her. When her secret finds its way out, it'll be the death of you.
Safin: We both eradicate people to make the world a better place. I just want it to be... tidy.
M: The world is arming faster than we can respond. Where's 007?
Ernst Stavro Blofeld: James, fate draws us back together. Now your enemy is my enemy.
Safin: James Bond. License to kill, history of violence... I could be speaking to my own reflection. Only your skills will die with your body, while mine will survive long after I'm gone.
James Bond: History isn't kind to men who play God.
James Bond: If we don't do this, there will be nothing left to save.
James Bond: The past isn't dead.
Nomi: I get why you shot him.
Eve Moneypenny: Well, everyone tries at least once.

Also, movies often change, minimize, or ignore previous plot points in order to fit the current narrative.
