==NOT YET USED INGAME== * ''Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made.'' -- '''Oscar Wilde''' * ''It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative.'' --'''John Burroughs''' * ''The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to a close. In its place we are entering a period of consequence.'' --'''Winston Churchill''' * ''Of course the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you--if you don't play, you can't win.'' -- '''Robert Heinlein''' * ''Washington is the only place where sound travels faster than light.'' --'''CVR Thompson''' * ''How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!'' --'''Isaiah 14:12''' * ''So desert creatures and hyenas will live there, and there the owl will dwell. It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.'' --'''Jeremiah 50:39''' * ''Their cobwebs are useless for clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are evil deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands. Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are evil thoughts; ruin and destruction mark their ways. The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks in them will know peace.'' --'''Isaiah 59:6-8''' * ''Therefore, this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom for your fellow countrymen. So I now proclaim 'freedom' for you, declares the LORD - 'freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth. The men who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces.'' --'''Jeremiah 34:17-18''' * ''At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, Because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, And revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.'' --'''Matthew 11:25-26''' * ''Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.'' --'''Acts 20:28-29''' * ''And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, Truly I say to you, unless you become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, It would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, And to be drowned in the depth of the sea.'' --'''Matthew 18:2-6''' * ''Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.'' --'''Revelation 18:21''' * ''nought might armour avail, but that Caliburn would carve their souls from out them with their blood.'' -- '''Geoffrey of Monmouth''' * ''The more things change, the more they remain... insane.'' --'''Michael Fry and T. Lewis''' * ''I have lost friends, some by death... others through sheer inability to cross the street.'' -- '''Virginia Woolf''' * '' the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Stan "the Man" Lee) * ''What has happened here was caused by a force which, up until a few days ago, was entirely beyond the scope of man's imagination. ... a smoldering memorial to the unknown, which at this moment still prevails and could, at any time, lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world'' -- opening narration, '''GODZILLA: King of the Monsters''' * ''It is true that, whether favored by the stars or by nature, some men are born endowed with such graces that they seem not to have been born, but to have been fashioned by the hands of god... '' '''-- Baldassare Castiglione''', the Courtier * ''Underdog. <br> When criminals in this world appear, <br> And break the laws that they should fear, <br> And frighten all who see or hear, <br> The call goes up both far and near, <br> For Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! <br> Speed of lightning, roar of thunder, <br> Fighting all who rob or plunder, <br> Underdog. Underdog! <br> When in this world the headlines read, <br> Of those whose hearts are filled with greed, <br> Who rob and steal from those who need, <br> To right this wrong with blinding speed, <br> Goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! <br> Speed of lightning, roar of thunder, <br> Fighting all who rob or plunder, <br> Underdog. Underdog!'' '''-- Butthole Surfers''', Underdog Theme * ''Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.'' -- '''Nelson Mandella''', inaugural address * ''Many a wrong, and its curing song. <br> Many a road, and many an inn, <br> Room to roam, but only one home. <br> For all the world to win. <br> And so she vanished.'' <br> -- '''George MacDonald''' AD 1858 (Phantasies, a Faerie Romance) * ''Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.'' -- '''Vince Lombardi''' * ''Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it's cowardice.'' -- '''George Jackson''' * ''Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.'' -- '''Michael Crichton''' * ''What a chimera then is man! What a novelty! What a monster, what a chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, feeble earthworm, depository of truth, a sink of uncertainty and error, the glory and the shame of the universe.'' -- '''Blaise Pascal''', French scientist, mathematician, physicist, philosopher, moralist & writer * ''We start our lives in chaos, in babble. As we surge up into the world, we try to devise a shape, a plan. There is dignity in this. Your whole life is a plot, a scheme, a diagram. It is a failed scheme but that's not the point. To plot is to affirm life, to seek shape and control. Even after death, most particularly after death, the search continues. Burial rites are an attempt to complete the scheme, in ritual. Picture a state funeral. It is all precision, detail, order, design. The nation holds its breath. The efforts of a huge and powerful government are brought to bear on a ceremony that will shed the last trace of chaos. If all geos well, if they bring it off, some natural law of perfection is obeyed. The nation is delivered from anxiety, the deceased's life is redeemed, life itself is strengthened, reaffirmed.'' -- '''Don DeLillo''' * ''Head knowledge is good, but heart knowledge is indispensable. The training of the hands and feet must be added to make a rounded education. We must all learn these days to become spiritual pioneers if we would save the world from chaos.'' -- '''E. V. Hammond''' * ''The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.'' -- '''George Leonard''', US pioneer in human potential, author of 12 books, aikido black belt, senior editor of Look mag. * ''There are no whole truths; all truths are half- truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.'' -- '''Alfred North Whitehead'''
