All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be the blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.

John Henry: . . . The human brain is an amazing computer. Its raw clock speed is 20 billion calculations per second. Its storage is functionally infinite. But it's flawed.
Ellison: How is that?
John Henry: There's nowhere to download it when you die.
Ellison: Not exactly, no.
John Henry: Your Bible solves this problem by using the concept of heaven.
Ellison: Yes
John Henry: Billions of souls with no bodies.
Ellison (hesitating): Okay.
John Henry looks at all the computer hardware in front of him, into which he is plugged in.
John Henry: Yet all this is required simply to process the unique entity you call John Henry.

I can't believe a thread like this, on this forum, got this long without any quotes from SMAC:

"Beware, you who seek first and final principles, for you are trampling the garden of an angry God and he awaits you just beyond the last theorem."

Good gameplay is the most important thing, but I think it's minor "cosmetic" stuff like AC's tech quotes that separate the games I like from the games I love.

Justice has been described as a meaningful word without meaning, a word that holds the most powerful of connotations but lacks the simplest of distinctions, a conspicuous definition. As such justice is defined only in the minds of those who wield the word as a cause, differing so greatly within these perceptions as to rob it of any substantial meaning. In spite of this the concept of justice retains a sense of prestige among all but those who scoff at the notion, giving the word power, despite it’s interpretable nature.

EDIT: Sorry for necro, I only noticed this thread was two years old right after I hit submit.
