From "Blood of the Martyr" (the picture is a close-up of somebody crying blood, so I can see where Andemagne got "Eyes of the Martyr"):

Here's a few Seventh Edition gems (I took them from the card catalog on the Wizards website since, as my signature suggests, I can't get it in Australia):

Duress:

Opportunity:

Little things like morals shouldn't hinder one's ambition. -- Pirate creed

Arcane Laboratory:

Phyrexian Hulk:

It doesn't think. It doesn't feel.
It doesn't laugh or cry.
All it does from dusk till dawn
Is make the soldiers die.
-- Onean children's rhyme

Sacred Nectar:

"For he on honeydew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise."
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Kubla Khan"

I tossed that last one in because it also appears in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

Yes that was very good as it looked exactly as if the UNIX process had core dumped.

I don't remember seeing that in more recent versions.
I wonder whether it had been removed.

I also love the way nethack allows you to continue receiving your emails while you are inside the game to make the experience a little more immersive.

I cant believe no one mentioned Sam & Max

quote: Well, it all started the day before today. I remember it just like it was yesterday. ============ Sam: I'm thinking of a number from one to ten, and I don't know why. Max: Me too! ============ Sam: Hey, a talking cat! Cat: Look, a stupid dog. You must be the freelance police Sam: Yes well, don't go blabbing it to everybody. ============ Sam: Your head is oddly disproportionate to the rest of your body. Cat: It's the vocal cords, you'd be surprised how much room they take up. ============ Sam: Well you're looking hale and hearty little buddy. Max: I'm a coffee achiever Sam! ============ Sam: My little buddy here needs to use the facilities. Max: Facilities be damned! I need a bathroom! ============ Sam: Where should I put this thing so that it doesn't hurt anyone we know or care about? Max:Out the window, Sam. There's nobody but strangers out there. ============ MAX: I have to use the ghastly-smelling restroom! SAM: Here -- use these special tongs for anything you have to handle. MAX: ANYTHING? ... SAM: How was it, little buddy? MAX: It was dark, like a cave, and there were no toilets -- just black, smoking holes in the walls and floor! Giant roaches howled like damned souls as they skittered along the moldering grout-work! SAM: Did you wash your fluffy paws? ============ Sam: Lets stop someplace and take a rest. A little to the left Max. There's another weird lizard farm coming up fast at eleven o'clock. Max: I feel the warmth of it's presence Sam. ============ PIRATE: We're going to bury you with our extra stash! MAX: BURIED ALIVE? I'm alarmed! PIRATE: We're going to shoot you first. MAX: Oh, thank God. ============ MAX: I don't like his filed teeth and his watery, yellow eyeballs! SAM: You can't even see his face from here! MAX: I don't like his belligerent elbows, his threatening ear-backs!
