"Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting." The Art of War by Sun-tzu

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." The Art of War by Sun-tzu

"Hunger for shiny rocks, For giant mushroom clouds" lyrics from The Greatest Show On Earth by Nightwish

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. That's here. That's home. That's us."- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994. Quoted in All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World - Ad Astra by Nightwish

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place, But who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA. So massively exceeds the set of actual people In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds. How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state. From which the vast majority have never stirred?" from Richard Dawkins's, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder. Quoted in The Greatest Show On Earth by Nightwish

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers Having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one And that whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity From so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been And are being, evolved" from Charles Darwin's, book On the Origin of Species. Quoted in The Greatest Show On Earth by Nightwish

"Science, my boy is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth." by Jules Verne

"You'll never be welcomed, amongst the heartless monsters you surround yourself with. Feeding off the pain and misfortune of others. A maniacal breed of sub-human parasites, thrown into a feeding frenzy at the smell of fresh blood. Open your eyes and see the creatures for what they are. A swirling mess of hatred and envy. Don't be naive enough to think you're unaffected, The conversion has already begun" lyrics from Haunted by Disturbed

"Human: Haha, what a flipping mess! A whole city outta control and all because some sock-for-brains computer got hijacked. What's that saying? To make a mistake is human but to really flip things up you need a computer. Ain't that right chiphead?
Computer: The building's computer and myself has been designed, and built by humans, therefore we inherit their faults."Opening dialog from Revengeance Machine by Beast in Black
