Floor strategy that eluded him at the moment.”

and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the king lounged about doing nothing.
If only the pawns would've united ... the whole board could've been a republic
in about a dozen moves.”
“I believe the term is ‘eminent domain.’
Ah, yes. That means ‘theft by the government,”
“Ye gods, it was so much better when there were just four of
us up against that bloody great dragon, Vimes thought as they walked on. Of

get political on you.”

-Blue Oyster Cult, “Don’t Fear the Reaper”
“We sleep two hours a day but we don’t fear the reaper
We eat from trees and play Minesweeper…
We weigh three tons and come from outer space
Sent here to destroy the whole human race!
Vampire blood runs through our veins
Our forked tongues wag, driving you insane…
You’ll be herded into camps when the time is right,
Where we’ll eat your brains for our delight!”

that I have ever since distrusted myself and have refrained from all
prediction.”
-Wilbur Wright
“Out of these
inefficient tinkerings will come the future.”

just don't cut it!"
"Do we wanna drop another mouse in the snake pit or
send our own snake and let him crawl in?"
"Sweetheart...let us big boys have a

some ice before your brain overheats?"
"Ice. Yeah, you could chisel some off your heart, if
you could find it!"
"I like anything fast enough to do something stupid in!"
"There are things they don't teach you in spy
school!"
-xXx
“If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village
to abuse a child.”
-Spotlight
Steve Wozniak: What do you do? You're not an engineer.
You're not a designer. You can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit
board! The graphical interface was stolen! So how come ten times in a day I
read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do?
Steve Jobs: Musicians play their instruments. I play the
orchestra.
“It's not binary. You can be decent and gifted at the same
time.”

him because he made trees.”

“I'm the person who can, and I can't.”
“I sat in a garage and invented the future because artists
lead and hacks ask for a show of hands!”
“Why do people like you, who were adopted, feel like they
were rejected instead of selected?”
-Aaron Sorkin, Steve Jobs
“Some critters like to hide under rocks. Some humans like to hide under words.”
-Anne Herbert
