and how do you interpret this quote, Ronny... do you read it with the misconstrued understanding that the "unknown side of a man's brain" is from where the impelling inclincation to cheat on our spouses, beat on our children... and embrace it as the price of "greatness" so stems...?
"Success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration." "Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration." - Thomas Edison "What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right." - Howard Cosell "Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records" - William Arthur Ward "The name on the front is a he** of a lot more important than the one on your back." - Herb Brooks "We should be dreaming. We grew up as kids having dreams, but now we're too sophisticated as adults, as a nation. We stopped dreaming.

As well as the two in my signature.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over. -Edna St. Vincent Millay One of the problems with the Internet is that a lot of times it is inaccurate. - Vince McMahon When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom. - Larry David I am two fools, I know, for loving, and for saying so in whining poetry. -John Donne Rappers tend to use words sometimes that just rhyme and don't really mean nothing. - Trick Daddy Let's make a law that gay people can have birthdays, but straight people get more cake - you know, to send the right message to kids. - Bill Maher Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune. - Noam Chomsky Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

My name is Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset. I skied the second lap and I f’d up today. I think I have seen too much p*rn in the last 14 days. I have the room next to Petter Northhug and every day there is noise in there. So I think that is the reason I f’d up. By the way, Tiger Woods is a really good man. - Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset, Norwegian Olympic Silver Medalist
"I do not like assassins, or men of low character." -- Gene Hackman, from Unforgiven. "We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say the we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours. There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." -- President John F. Kennedy, from the Rice University address on September 12, 1962.

This one has always been interesting to me because this is an Islamic story (allegedly the Prophet's words PBUH) which always baffles me as well: "Muslims will kindle fire with their arrows, bows and quivers for seven years"... supposedly this is a/the big war before judgement day. Also tons of stories of using swords and horses in this war and I always wondered... Where are the F-16's and the WMD's going to be? lol I've also personally always thought that if someone sets off the domino effect in a nuclear war, it's all over, I don't think very many would survive.
You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant. - The Emperor Anytime I am about to do something I'll regret this quote pops into my head.

"I'm like Superman and the people who work here are like the citizens of Gotham City." "Bros before hoes. Why? Because your bros are always there for you. They got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason. And you were nothing but great to your ho, and you told her that she was the only ho for you. And then suddenly... she's not yo' ho no mo'. " -Michael Scott

The longer version of that movie and original quote is from the Lone Wolf and Cub series of films. I highly recommend checking them all out. They are awesome.
If you don't know who said all these, I suggest you leave this BBS: "I've now been in this country for thirteen years, since I was seventeen. So this is my second home. " "Give me the ball. I'll dunk on all of 'em." "My background playing soccer gave me a natural advantage over many of the American-born players. " "When I get the ball, I won't be denied." "He was just borrowing [my MVP trophy]." "As you kno', basketball, is a team spoht. I'd like to thank my teammates fo' theah kontribooshons..." "Being from Africa is the best thing that could have ever, ever happened to me. I cannot see it any other way. All of my fundamental principles that were instilled in me in my home, from my childhood, are still with me. "
