[Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS1] That's not to say there won't be a way to script events -- just not a scripting language |

My 2 quotes:
quote: Destiny! Destiny! No escaping that for me! |
This is from the movie Young Frankenstein, written and directed by Mel Brooks. The lead character, the grandson of the first Dr. Frankenstein (played by Gene Wilder), is having a dream, and we see him tossing and turning in his bed, arguing with what is presumably the spirit of his grandad:
No...no I don't believe in fate...No! I won't say it! Okay! Okay I'll say it! DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT'S FOR ME! DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT'S FOR ME..."
Why did I put it in? I just liked the quote. I'm not a fatalist.
The second quote is more well-known and more straightforward:
This was uttered by Dr. Samuel Johnson. The story is as follows, as narrated by Boswell, his biographer and companion:
"After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- 'I refute it thus.' "
This is one of my favourite epigrams.
