"Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone." - Noah.

"I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but in one respect I've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul and for me that has always been enough." - Duke (Noah.)

Was watching "The Tudors," and remembered a quote I'd heard... somewhere.

Here's one I like:

Hah! I like that one. One of the things that pisses me off in online roleplay games, particularly the medieval fantasy type ones, is that everybody always wants to be some kickass powerful wizard. Whole uberguilds of kickass powerful wizards and warlocks. Where's the mystery and power if everyone's doing it?

I played almost a year in UO just being the one that sits on the curb clapping. It's an interesting perspective from down there.

Dr. Turner claimed that smoking marijuana leads to AIDS (the sequence: Pot leads to harder drugs, which lead to sharing needles, which leads to AIDS). Peter Besinger, former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, claimed that marijuana was harmful because it "contained dioxin." The dioxin, of course, came from government spraying. Such statements are reminiscent of the 1920s, when the public was told that cocaine made blacks impervious to bullets.

"A hero is only braver than the ordinary man for 10 seconds."
