Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Even superheroes need a break every once and a while. I'd rather have an energetic and refreshed Jeff making Avadon, then a Jeff who's burned out and exhausted. That said, I've always liked the famous Nietzsche quote, "If you stare into the abyss long enough, the abyss stares back at you." I use it whenever I get the chance. Which, admittedly, is rare. Anyone else have any favorite quotes they like to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Cthulhu Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Required: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Err...on a lighter note, some of my favorite quotes from Fire Emblem (the first one released in the US, for the GBA, called just Fire Emblem). That game had some of the best dialogue ever: “The Bartre before you is not the same one you faced then!” – Bartre “Who are you giving orders to, fool!? Yarr!” – Dart “Bah! You daft fool!” – Dart “Eliwood, I have always despised you. How I’ve longed to smash you and your pathetic morality into pieces! I’ve dreamed of this day, and here it is at last!” – Erik “Pegasi are noble animals! So, they must eat noble carrots, you see!” – Farina “What part of my hairdo looks like a bird’s nest?” – Geitz “I have an attention span of only about half an hour. Too bad, huh? Heh, heh!” – Geitz “I am Glass! The gods fear my name!” – Glass “…Man, why do I get stuck with all the lame henchmen?” – Hector “Lowen…Would you mind explaining exactly how you managed to fight your way back from Pherae while stopping to have a picnic during every battle?” – Isadora “As a rule, assassins are weaklings.” – Legault “Uh-oh. Looks like someone hates me. What a pity.” – Legault “Gah! Do-don’t do that. Warn me when you’re about to talk! It’s not polite to frighten me.” – Legault “Lord Marcus!! How is it that you know everything!?” – Lowen “Did…Did you eat breakfast, my lord?” – Lowen “Do not fear! I’ll always have you to protect me should things turn sour!” – Matthew “I am a sweet, helpless little cleric…You have to protect me!” – Serra “You’re making fun of me in a roundabout way!” – Serra “Ah…I’m so cute it’s almost criminal!” – Serra “I don’t see any trigger there. Do you? I didn’t think so.” – the game’s tutorial “Ah, we meet again. You disappoint me by your persistent refusal to drop dead.” – Vaida “Grrrr!! Not again! This is the 75th time! I could have SWORN Caelin was in this direction!” – Wallace “Oh, great…If it isn’t Mr. “Manual of Knightly Prowess”! I mean…General Wallace!” – Wil “I might as well be Normal Archer number three!” – Wil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I have lots of favorite quotes. The only one that sticks out right now is this one: "Pity is treason" It was said by Maximilien Robespierre, one of (if not the) most important figures in the French Revolution. He guillotined thousands of people during the Reign of Terror before his revolution consumed himself, despite once being an ardent pacifist and opposing the death penalty. He's a shining example of how if you give a good person unlimited power, they become a tyrant in no time at all. He's one of the most compelling and darkly fascinating people in history, and despite thorough analysis by historians for hundreds of years, noone really knows whether he did what he did because he loved France and the Revolution, or because he was a bloodthirsty and sadistic dictator. It's unlikely we will ever know, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Sag Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 "Beware of undertaking too much at the start. Be content with quite a little. Allow for accidents. Allow for human nature, especially your own." -- Arnold Bennett one of my favorite: "May you live all the days of your life." -- Jonathan Swift this one gave me a very successfull student life: "The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one." -- Mark Twain "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." -- Harold R. McAlindon B-) this is life: "The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself -- the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us -- that's where it's at." -- Jesse Owens one more among my favorites: "To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." -- Elbert Hubbard more ll come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
