Okay lets see how well read and Worldly we all are here is the Next one, Found while surfing on my Cell:

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he dose not become a monster. And if you gaze long into the Abyss,the Abyss will gaze back at you.

Now seeing as this is not a movie or book quote but something someone said I have broken the Tradition and given a Clue at the Start.

Ok just a quick one today as I have to go work:cry:

Sorry if this has come up before, but not read through this thread yet.

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

EDIT: Hey Hellkite, I just noticed we are meant to be using movie and tv quotes, lol oops (mine isn't either)

It was said by Winston Churchill.

Here is the next one. Who said (when and why if you know):
"This is not peace, it is an armistice for twenty years."

EDIT: What politicians say is always in the media ;)

No that hot air K_merse


Media shell be defined as

Media (singular medium) are the storage and transmission channels or tools used to store and deliver information or data. It is often referred to as synonymous with mass media or news media, but may refer to a single medium used to communicate any data.


to answer your Quote K_merse

Allied forces, Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch upon on hearing the terms of the Treaty of Versailles " And he was right"


But it is Avon turn K_merse

Ok then, everybody ready?
This one should be easy:)

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time like tears in the rain.

As you wish :)


Cum dubia et fragilis sit nobis vita tributa, in morte alterius spem to tibi ponere noli

translation – Seeing that life has been given us precarious and full of uncertainty, fix not your hopes on the death of another.


Hint** a very old book

Right movie, wrong character :lol: It was said by the blonde sociologist in an interview.

My favourite scene from the whole movie: An alien takes a can of catfood and stuffs the can into his mouth and then bites on it, making the can "explode" and splattering a whole load of catfood all around.

HK, your turn!

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Dune. Frank Herbert. I don't remember who said it though.
