Cool Quotes

[Ghost of Fire (Fëanáro)]

So, basically, I thought it would be cool to just post a collection of quotes that I either found or made up that I've used to either illuminate a character's opinions and general outlook or to help myself get a better understanding of the same. So, without further ado:

• Justice is doing the right thing, regardless of the wishes of the law.
  
  
• Whoever had to ask about whether justice required the presence of law and order had clearly never heard of two things: Chaotic Good and Lawful Evil.
  
  
• We all die sooner or later. Far better to die doing what is right than doing what is wrong.
  
  
• Darkness is only the manifestation of our own closed eyes and shuttered minds.
  
  
• Politeness, n. The most acceptable hypocrisy. (Ambrose Bierce)

More quotes:

• Without fear, courage is impossible.
  
  
• He told me that someday, we'd look back on it all and laugh. He never said that I would look back on all those laughs, and cry.

• "For the simplicity on this side of complexity, I wouldn't give you a fig. But for the simplicity on the other side of complexity, for that I would give you anything I have."

Also, a little two quote "conversation" that I found once, although I only have an author for the first one:

"Divorced from ethics, leadership is reduced to management and politics to mere technique." (James MacGregor Burns)

"In that case, we must praise the management skills of our leaders and the technique of our politicians, for surely there is naught else to praise." (unknown)

Found a book on quotes, which had:

• "I didn't know it was impossible when I did it."
  
  
• "Friendship isn't a big thing... it's a million little things."
  
  
• "Judge a man not by how he treats his equals, but by how he treats those that can do nothing for him."

[Ghost of Fire (Fëanáro)]

• "Dangerous! Of course it's dangerous, everything's dangerous. Hell, breathing is dangerous if you get right down to it."
  
  
• "Battles are won or lost in the minds of men."

Clearly, Kalitar's parents hadn't heard of Bill Cosby's advice on naming children:

• "Always end the name of your child with a vowel so that when you yell, the name will carry"

[Ghost of Fire (Fëanáro)]

Quote (or rather, a pair of definitions) that I found on FB and really liked:

Morality: Doing what is right regardless of what you are told

Obedience: Doing what you are told regardless of what is right

[Shoki]

One me and my friends like.

"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness. May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Also

"When in doubt, Deny, deny, deny."

[Ghost of Fire (Fëanáro)]

Thanks to Shoki, for this quote, which is extremely relevant to K'rad:

"You are never too young to have a Vietnam Flashback."

[Ghost of Fire (Fëanáro)]

From the cbox a few days ago, we have:

"I was accidentally playing soccer indoors, and somehow a window broke" (Davis, from Digimon -- I believe)

[Ghost of Fire (Fëanáro)]

I don't remember the actual quote, but this is paraphrased from a friend of mine, who was (if I recall correctly xD) describing the attitude of the main character from the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books:

"There comes a time when you have to take responsibility for your actions, have to realize that it doesn't matter what was done to you, you are an adult and are not bound to repeat the cycle."

[Ghost of Fire (Fëanáro)]

For the immortality of the character I based K'rad on. Also, for Dalonia

"No weapons? You are standing in a kitchen and you're trying to tell me there are no weapons! Frying pans, carving knives, a pot of boiling water, and let's not even get started on the rotisserie sticks!"

• "If it's worth fighting for...it's worth fighting dirty for." (Lt. C. Harper)
• "There is no such thing as a fair fight -- only ones where you win or lose."
