Quick, I need a snappy comeback.
« on: January 03, 2011, 11:05:36 pm »

Someone on another forum just messaged me with the phrase:

 "I am a monument, to all your sins. This one is machine and nerve, and has it's mind concluded. This one is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded. Resignation is my virtue, like water I ebb and flow, defeat is merely the addition of time, to a sentence I never deserved, but you imposed."

I have the first sentence on my sig. No I have no idea why he messaged me this. Yes I know where it is from.

No this probably isn't the right place for this.

I need an epic comeback, quick. Along the same vein as this, maybe, but from an opposing perspective.

Maybe if we solve it we will get a reward! Like not being trapped in a book!

It's stupid and you should ignore him. That is my advice.

It's not really stupid, I feel like its just an Impromptu game of "Who can one-up each other in epic quotes" thing.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.
The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing;
Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king."

Well I would've sent the War Is Written By The Victors phrase I've heard, a Metro 2033 phrase such as the one about the "Wicked Phenomenon", or possibly this:

"Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future."

Can't think of any good ones right now.
Other possible quotes:
"You reap what you sow, Artyom: force answers force, war breeds war, and death only brings death. To break this vicious circle one must do more than act without thought or doubt."
"Wicked phenomenon, yes? But, you know, it’s not any more "evil" than, say… fire. It all depends on your point of view. Try to get a better understanding of things before you make your judgement."
