"...Never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game." - Guybrush Threepwood, The Secret of Monkey Island
"In the face of power, unique human qualities become valuable, hand-picked functions that operate in the service of an agenda. To a degree, we all lose our voice. In the wreckage of a fallen world, the only choice left to make is whose side we’re on, and what we’re willing to give up for the sake of the cause." - Richard Clark, Transistor Review
"On the political realm, nothing grand could be achieved and nothing would last without the presence of people whose genius, character and willpower would inspire, get together and direct the energies of a people.
Everything collapses as soon as at the leadership of a state you have a parade of mediocre individuals. Unity dies as greatness collapses." - Maurice Duron, The Cursed Kings, vol. 7
“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.” - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

And from the stage dismiss me with applause." - Emperor Augustus, apud. Suetonius Tranquillus, The Lives of the Twelve Caesars

"...
But once a man had sent a man,
To desert -- to the poison demon,
The slave obediently ran,
And by the morn he brought the venom.
He brought the resin of the death,
A twig with faded leaves, by morning,
And heavy sweat, on his pale face,
In icy rivulets was rolling.
He came, and lay, and fell in fit,
In shadow of the tent, in fluster,
The slave had died by the feet
Of his inexorable master." - Aleksandr Puskin, Anchar
