Guess the quote game! If you can tell me where this quote is from you win, and you put up your own quote.

I'll lead.

A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts.

On behalf of mack, I'll suggest changing the thread topic to "What's the quotation game!" Regardless of whether or not you believe it necessary, it potentially removes much friction.

I have no idea where that quotation originates.

It's from THE WATCHMEN by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. And no, I have not read it. You shouldn't take quotes that figures on the internet [Smile] .

A quote of my own:

quote:
Whenever you present the actual, simple truth, it is, somehow, always denounced as a lie: they disown it, cast it off, throw it on the parish; whereas the product of your own imagination, the mere figment, the sheer fiction, is adopted, petted, termed pretty, proper, sweetly natural: the little spurious wretch gets all the comfits, -- the honest, lawful bantling, all the cuffs. Such is the way of the world, Peter; and, as you are the legitimate urchin, rude, unwashed, and naughty, you must stand down.
