Quotes Game

[Tbird]

Hey y'all!

I figured I'd start a new game.

I guess this is really a thread for sharing your favourite pieces of work

The game's as simple as you can get, really. All you have to do is post a quote that links to the previous post via one of the words used (Don't use crappy links such as "the, and, a, I" etcetera), or by making a link with name. So, you can post from the same author as the previous poster if you'd like, or from the same Movie. Again, it has to be a proper word. For example "The Hills Have Eyes", you can quote "Hills" and "Eyes".

The post can be as long or short as you like, a line from a song, to a poem to a paragraph from a speech, hell a cool quote from a film/TV show works too.

To show where the link is made put bold tags around the chosen word. Similarly, cite where the quote's from so if someone's interested they can go and look for more work by that person.

Refrain from swearing. It's not a thread for posting which song has the highest curse count. On that note, thought provoking posts are cool ->, vulgar posts are teh failz0r ->

Example:

"The Prise. Burdened eternally with the responsibility of guarding the Keywork. In their creation God saved them these words:

'If man should decide to dabble in my affairs, then Guardians must intervene. But, should I come forth to change the face of man with you there to challenge me... Then I shall return with all the stars to destroy all I have made. Whether man or I present that danger will not be told in the coming.'"

~ God's message to the Prise, from the comic "The Amory Wars"

[Gin]

"You speak of knowledge, Judicator? You speak of experience? I have journeyed through the darkness between the most distant stars. I have beheld the births of negative-suns and borne witness to the entropy of entire realities... Unto my experience, Aldaris, all that you've built here on Aiur is but a fleeting dream. A dream from which your precious Conclave shall awaken, finding themselves drowned in a greater nightmare."
-Zeratul

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

"That which the dream shows is the shadow of such wisdom as exists in man, even if during his waking state he may know nothing about it.... We do not know it because we are fooling away our time with outward and perishing things, and are asleep in regard to that which is real within ourself."
~Paracelsus, quoted in The Dream Game
