Difficile est tenere quae acceperis nisi exerceas.

- QUOTE 4 ~ Attempted Haiku
Tumbling in the autumn breeze
across the golden field
how bright! how frail, how transient
is the seasons yield?
A breath away, a brush of wind,
winter sighs at the door.
The night is come, She sleeps serene
seasons turn ever more.

- QUOTE 6 ~ Quotes from Ender's Shadow
"You frighten me, when you say there isn't time."
"I don't see why. Christians have been expecting the imminent end of the world for millennia."
"But it keeps not ending."
"So far so good." - P.58, Ender's Shadow, O.S.Card
"The buggers have finally, finally learned that we humans value each and every individual human life. We don't throw our forces away because every soldier is the queen of a one-member hive. But they've learned this lesson just in time for it to be hopelessly wrong -- for we humans do, when the cause is sufficient, spend our own lives. We throw ourselves onto the grenade to save our buddies in the foxhole. We rise out of the trenches and charge the entrenched enemy and die like maggots under a blowtorch. We strap bombs on our bodies and blow ourselves up in the midst of our enemies. We are, when the cause is sufficient, insane. " - P. 481, 'Ender's Shadow', O.S. Card
- QUOTE 7 ~ Quotes from Ender's Shadow
"The criminal misuse of time was pointing out the mistakes. Catching them -- noticing them -- that was essential. If you did not in your own mind distinguish between useful and erroneous information, then you were not learning at all, you were merely replacing ignorance with false belief, which was no improvement." P.87-88, Ender's Shadow O.S. Card
"Every group had its bosses, its suckups, its rebels, its sheep. Every group had its strong bonds and its weak ones, friendship and hypocrisies. Lies within lies within lies." P. 97, Ender's Shadow O.S. Card
- QUOTE 8 ~ From The Guardian
"If my muscles ache it's because I've used them. It's had for me to walk up those steps because I've walked up those steps every night to sleep next to a man that loved me. I've got a few wrinkles here and there. But I've laid under thousands of skies with sunny days. I look and feel this way, well, because I drank and I smoked I lived and I loved, danced, sang, sweat and screwed my way through a pretty damn good life. If you ask me, getting old aint that bad, getting old - that's earned. "
- QUOTE 9 ~ The Philospher's Song
Emmanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist. Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away-- Half a crate of whisky every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle. Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Ren Descartes was a drunken fart. 'I drink, therefore I am.'
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed, A lovely little thinker, But a bugger when he's pissed.
- Quote 10 ~ Random Quotes
~ When all else fails, shoot first and interrogate the survivors
~ I could be wrong - and I often am - it breaks up the monotony of being right from time to time.
~ The mystery is solved. Men won't stop and ask for directions because they believe that they should be able to intuit the correct direction on basic instinct and through such things as spatial orientation and geographical navigation using celestial bodies and the direction of moss growing on trees as their landmarks. Women? Women know that gas it too damned expensive to waste it foolishly driving around in circles. Call it fiscal responsibility or a desire to arrive on time, but women will stop and ask for directions and save money in the process.

Mitch Robbins: Well to see it you need a TV.
Ed Furillo: Shut up! Just shut up! He doesn't get it! He'll never get it! It's been 4 hours! The cows can tape something by now! Forget about it please!

Mitch Robbins: (awkward pause) Let's bring out the cake!
- QUOTE 13 ~ Quotes from M*A*S*H
"Respect. I want nothing more and I'll accept nothing less."
"Will you slow down to the speed of sound? I can't hear myself scream!"
"Absolutely not! Me? wash and clean? I'm not a woman!"
- QUOTE 16 ~ Best cat-like pose!
The sound of footsteps can be heard next, and from the pace it sounds as though someone is running through the house. That someone takes the corner leading into the dining room and starts across the lovely - and freshly polished - wood floors wearing socks instead of sneakers. This small detail makes all the difference in the world. One step, then another, and her socks have no traction on the freshly polished floor and she makes it nearly to the door of the kitchen before one foot slips and she makes a squeak of sound that's so unprofessional and the other foot slides as well and bam - right into the wall beside the kitchen with a notable thump. This thump is followed by a very bad word, in French - as we all tend to swear in our native language - before Calira rests one hand on the wall, rubs at her forehead with the other and sedately pushes the door open into the kitchen.
- Quote 16 Quotes from RP - 2011 April 4
Sink nods quickly to Lirin, "That sounds like a good road trip. I'm sure it'll take a while to go through his estate there, but hopefully there will be something there that will send us on the right path." Sink looks between Lirin and Calira, "So, what about my idea about Mr. Rambert? Should we just pass him over until we check out the estate?" Sink, being on the same man wavelengths as Andrew does not offer the man his hand, and is glad to see he doesn't have to turn down a hand holding offer from Andrew. Go team testosterone. <English>
Gotta LOVE the last line there - 'Go team testosterone'!
