I'm quoting, here
I'm sure there was, at one time in the vast, unexplored territory that is SYM, a quotes topic, but as nothing like that has appeared at least recently, I thought I'd start one up. Feel free to add your own choice quotes. One rule: you have to state the originator of your quote, if known. (So if you make it up, you have to own up to it.)
"Democracy gives people the kind of government they deserve, right between the eyes." -H.L. Mencken
"It is hardly an argument against a man's general strength of character that he should be mastered by love. A fine constitution doesn't insure one against smallpox." -George Eliot (Marian Evans), in Adam Bede
Change: no comments from films or games, please. Those go in the Other Entertainment thread. Thanks.

I can see that the intellectual level of this topic is going to be extraordinarily refined. Please, do continue.

@Brink! So you remember Romance of the Three Kingdoms, too! Yes, Liu Bei had great advisors, but you could always try to bribe 'em and steal 'em.
