So, simple game really. You comment on, or replies to what the person above you wrote with a quote you like, it may be from a book, a movie, song, speech as long as you write who said it.

"I had to repeat myself when I told the deck officer to launch all fighters. I saw his face his face when he realized he was going to die. I saw he wanted to know why. We all do. We think it will matter, that knowing will grant us honor, that it will silence our futile bleating at the prospect of becoming nothing" - Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik, Star Wars: the essential guide to warfare

'Glory is like a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself
Till by broad spreading it disperse to nought.'
~William Shakespeare
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
~Wendell Berry

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

~ Confucius

KaraKres

“Falling in love is like getting hit by a truck and yet not being mortally wounded. just sick to your stomach, high one minute, low the next. Starving hungry but unable to eat. hot, cold, forever horny, full of hope and enthusiasm, with momentary depressions that wipe you out.

Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board. No time to think about what's happening. It's inevitable. An event you can't control. A crazy, heart-stopping, roller-coaster ride that just has to take its course.”

― Jackie Collins, Lucky

Love is the crocodile on the river of desire.

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

To some, steampunk is a catchall term, a concept in search of a visual identity. To me, it’s essentially the intersection of technology and romance. – Jake von Slatt

“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

Al Qaeda is nothing more than a mutant supply chain. They're playing off the same platform as Wal-Mart and Dell. They're just not restrained by it. What is al Qaeda? It's an open source religious political movement that works off the global supply chain. That's what we're up against in Iraq. We're up against a suicide supply chain.

- Thomas Friedman

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Wasn't sure how the "obi" and "chicken" quotes fitted in - so went with a response to Jinxed Minx's Twain quote.
