OT: Good quotes
 

Inspired by Atrocities trying to find the source of a quote, I think it'd be neat to collect a bunch of good quotes and their sources. I like quotes. Don't know why... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Please try to keep the thread clean, without letting it devolve into something...else. Like most threads do after a short time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I go first!

From "Sean of the Dead", one of the finest films ever made:

"You want to put your lives into the hands of this man, a man whose idea of a romantic nightspot and impenetrable fortress are one and the same?"

Re: OT: Good quotes
 

I remember seeing that - it was on a commercial, with the actor that played Sisko - for computers, I think.

Nope: That quote is from Gen Chesty Puller, United States Marine Corps, who was in command of the First Marine Division at Chosin, Korea, when he found the allied flanks on either side of him had collapsed and he was facing roughly seven Chineese divisions trying to encircle and demolish his command. He got his division out, and ground up a few chineese divisions in the process.
