Well, I have lots of favourite quotes, so here's just a loose quotation ^_^

"The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness...This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector."
- Plato, The Republic

Hacking is like having sex. You get in, you get out, then you hope that you didn't leave something behind that can be traced back to you.

I think that technologies are morally neutral until we apply them. It's only when we use them for good or for evil that they become good or evil.
-- William Gibson

And my all-time favourite quotation source, The Outer Limits:

Humankind has proven to be unique among life forms - distinguished not only by its lofty intelligence, morality and self awareness...but also by a baser side: It is the only creature that kills for sport. As machines grow more human, we must be wary that we do not become less so.

When we have conquered interstellar space, what will we gain? A new perspective on ourselves... or only a wider scope for our arrogance? Cultural relativity. It doesn't need to be a complicated theory. Indeed, it can be as simple and as deadly as a two-edged sword.

It was once written "To thine own self be true". But how do we know who we really are? Every man must confront the monster within himself, if he is ever to find peace without.

How far will mankind have to go before we realize that the only antidote to self annihilation...is trust. If mankind is to survive, we must learn to trust one another...and that trust begins in the human heart.

Our history is filled with grim reminders of our inhumanity. Armies are crushed, populations ravaged. Enemies imprisoned behind walls of stone. But the human spirit is not so easily confined. Of all needs that drive us: hunger, thirst, desire... Perhaps the most powerful is the simple need to be free.

Peace out,

<JonJonB> Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book
<JonJonB> Let's see the results...

<JonJonB> "Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
<JonJonB> "Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything

<JonJonB> A magic wang... this was what Harry had been really looking forward to.

<JonJonB> "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work."
<JonJonB> "Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. "

<JonJonB> Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls

<JonJonB> "Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"

<JonJonB> The troll couldn't feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry's wang had still been in his hand when he'd jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll's nostrils.

<JonJonB> He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll's nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue.

<JonJonB> He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them.

<JonJonB> Ok
<JonJonB> I have found, definitive proof
<JonJonB> that J.K Rowling is a dirty DIRTY woman, making a fool of us all
<JonJonB> "Yes," Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding.... Any second now, he might hear his mother again... but he shouldn't think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn't want to... or did he?
<melusine > O_______O
<JonJonB> Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang

<JonJonJonB> Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip.

<JonJonJonB> 'Get - off - me!' Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.

"If there is No Hope and No Love then there is No Life."
by M.S.

Trivial though the problems of the day were, it was only a foundation for greater trials. One could hold his own under that burden, lift the weight, but two, two could travel the stars under that burden, carry the weight to the ends of the universe. Together... together, anything was possible.
--Sageseeker777

"Help me remember, when I'm having a bad day, and it seems that everyone is trying to piss me off, that it takes 42 muscles to frown, but only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me!"
