Re: OT - favorite fiction qoutes
Heir to the Empire is a book by Timothy Zahn. You won't find the first quote I posted in any of the SW movies. But here's a quote from another book :
"Do you mean that we will all be eaten by things with tentacles for faces ?"
"Nothing so pleasant, but - "
(The Light Fantastic)

Re: OT - favorite fiction qoutes
"Life.. is like a box of chocolates. A cheap thoughtless gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back in another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those all you've got left is a.. is an empty box.. filled with useless, brown paper wrappers."
-The Cigarette-Smoking Man

Re: OT - favorite fiction qoutes
"The travelling salesman had fed me pills that made the linings of my veins feel scraped out. My jaw ached. I knew every raindrop by its name. I sensed everything before it happened. I knew a certain Oldsmobile would stop for me even before it slowed, and by the sweet voices of the family inside it I knew we'd have an accident in the storm. I didn't care. They said they'd take me all the way.""- FH, Jesus Son by Denis Johnson's.
Dude, check it out.

Actually, it may be an absolutely correct comment on the failings of Mexican and Canadian economies
