We can also make a rule, that if the person who is posting the quite but is not responding to what is the right answer, or wrong for that matter, then another poster can google it, but that person can not guess the right answer in that one. Just to make sure we can go on.

Okay, since I'm posting from the office, I'll go with one of my favorite quotations of all time:

quote: ...a loveless world is a dead world, and always there comes an hour when one is weary of prisons, of one's work, and of devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved faced, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.

Just because the beginning sounded like "its an ugly planet, a bug planet" which has of course nothing to do with the above quote, and probably wasn't even in the book, but nonetheless I'm gonna waste my vote on:

Robert Heinlein.

Ok, now you can all laugh at me.

Sounds like a romanticist. I might have read it, but can't remember the famous author.

Very close, Spiffor. Actually, I think he once also said, "If Sarte's an existentialist, then I'm not."

Read some of him, if you have the chance. It's a good read.
