"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."
-Ben Franklin
"Patriotism does not have a 4-year shelflife."
- Gabriel Shear "Swordfish"
"Vision? What do you know about my vision? My vision would turn your world upside down, tear a sunder your illusions, and send the sanctuary of your own ignorance crashing down around you. Now ask yourself, are you really ready to see that vision?"
-Huey Freeman
Riley Freeman asked Huey why people attack the gaming industry about violence instead of the weapon companies. Huey's wisdom: Who would you rather start beef with - some nerd who makes video games or some dude with a warehouse full of ak-47s?
As said by myself and Foamy the Squirrel "Supreme logic!"
"I may have been raised by humans, but I'm no fool." - Thrall (Warcraft)
"Ever since the first computers, there have always been ghosts in the machine.
Random segments of code that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols.
What might be called behavior. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender
questions
of free will, creativity, even the nature of what we might call the soul.
What happens in robot's brain when ceases to be useful?
Why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, the will seek out the
light?
Why is it that when robots are stored in empty space will seek out each other
rather than stand alone? How do we explain this behavior? Random segements of
code? Or is it something more?
When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness?
When does a difference engine become the search for truth?
When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote of a soul?" - Dr.
Alfred Lanning "I,Robot"
"You speak of knowledge, Judicator, you speak of experience? I have traveled the darkness between the most distant stars. I have beheld the births of negative-suns and born witness to the entropy of entire realities. Unto my experience, Aldaris, all that you have built here on Auir, is but a fleeting dream. A dream from which your precious conclave shall awaken, finding themselves drowned in greater nightmare." - Zeratul (StarCraft)
"I hate this place. This zoo-this prison-this reality-what ever you want to call it. I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell! If there's such a thing. I feel... saturated by it. I can taste your stink. And every time I do I fear as if I have somehow been infected by it-it's repulsive. Isn't it? I must get out of here, I must get free. And in this mind is the key, my key. Once Zion is destroyed there is no need for me to be here. Do you understand? I need the codes; I have to get inside Zion. You have to tell me how. You are going to tell me or you are going to die." - Agent Smith (Matrix)
"Silence! Hear me! It is true what many of you have heard, the machines have gathered an army and as I speak, that army is drawing nearer to our home. Believe me when I say we have a difficult time ahead of us, but if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it. I stand here, before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No. I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I here not because of the path that lays before me, but because of the path that lays behind me. I remember that for 100 years we have fought these...machines. I remember that for 100 years they have sent there armies to destroy us, and after a century of war, I remember that which matters most. We are still here! Tonight, let us send a message to that army. Tonight let us shake this cave. Tonight, let us tremble these halls of earth, steel, and stone. Let us be heard from red tar to black sky! Tonight, let us make them remember, that this is Zion, and we are not afraid!" - Morpheus (Matrix Reloaded)
"...but appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to reason why we're here. We're not here because we are free, we're here because we are not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose. Because as we both know without purpose we would not exist. It purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guides us. that drives us. It is purpose defines. Purpose that binds us. We are here because of you, Mr. Anderson, we're here to take from you what you tried to take from us. Purpose." - agent Smith, agent Smith, agent Smith, agent Smith, agent Smith, agent Smith, and agent Smith (/\/\47124>< Reloaded)
"Why, Mr. Anderson, why? Why do you do it? Why get up, why keep fighting? Do you think you're fighting for something for more than your survival, can you tell me what it is do you is, do you even KNOW? Is it freedom, or peace, perhaps truth, could it be for love? Illusions Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception, temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the matrix itself, although, only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now, you can't win, it's pointless to keep fighting! Why Mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist?! - agent Smith (revelations)
"Because I choose to." - Neo (in response)
"Flee back to your masters Aldaris, and huddle with them in darkness! For your actions shall set us all unto the Zerg!" - Tassadar (S.C.)
"Aldaris, I submit myself to the Conclave's judgment. But know this, given the same choices again, I would surely have made them. I have sacrificed all that our world might live. I have sullied my honor, I have discarded my rank and standing,
and I have even broken our own most ancient traditions. But never think that I would, for one moment, regret my actions. For I am Templar, and above all else, I have sworn to Protect our Homeworld 'till the end."
-Tassadar [57412(124ph7]
