I thought of the old Schwartzkopf quote when he was asked if people like Bin Laden were evil. He replied:
"That's between him and his maker. It's my job to arrange the interview."

Love the Twain quote! I've shamelessly repeated it many times over the last couple of days. Thanks!

Apparently it's a mis-quote of a Clarence Darrow quote:
quote:All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.
"He's dead and I'm alive and that's the way I wanted it to be."
---Robert A. Heinlein, probably quoting someone else.

"Everything bound to life dies Eventually." A quote I made up for Journey to the Lost Universe. It's appropriate considering I'm going to my stepdad's father's funeral (he killed himself) Posted by snapper (Member # 7299) on :
