[Saede Riordan]

Basically, come up with a quote, either something you make up, for from somewhere else, that you feel describes your characters, and yourself


Nikita:
"Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for. Because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly…stupid."
-Jack Sparrow

Arriana:
"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.”
James Dean

Arci:
"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, "Mother, what was war?"
-Eve Merriam

me:
"I shall be telling this with a sigh   
Somewhere ages and ages hence:   
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—   
I took the one less traveled by,   
And that has made all the difference."
-Robert Frost

[Benjamin Shepherd]

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." - Aldous Huxley

[Boma Airaken]

"How do ya make your woman scream and holler while you are having sex? Shit son that is easy. Just call her and tell her where yer at!"

- Some random mechanic named Wally.

[Benjamin Shepherd]

You're such a redneck. euromods: the term can be positive

[Ghost Hunter]

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..."

-Partial quote from William Shakespeare

[Marcus Gord]

'Know your enemy, know yourself, and you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, and for every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat. Know neither yourself nor your enemy, and you will succumb in every battle.' Sun Tzu

Although it relates to battle, I find that it can be applied to any problem you come up against, with the problem being the 'enemy'

I think of it as a kind of 'look before you leap' kind of thing, you just look at yourself, and the problem, before you try to solve it

I could explain more about it, but I'd just bore everyone.

I would opt for in-game quotes:

(Paraphrased)

Ushra'Khan: We come for our people!

Rodj Blake: They are our people. We have the receipts.

[Kybernetes Moros]

"How dreadful when the right judge judges wrong!"
- Sophocles

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself -- and you are the easiest person to fool."
- Richard Feynman

[Kaito Haakkainen]

"The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself."
-Bertrand Russell

"By daily dying I have come to be."
-Theodore Roethke

[Nascent]

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

-William Butler Yeats, 'The Second Coming'

[Gottii]

"I'm ashamed of you, dodging that way.  They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance" -- Last words of Union General John Sedgwick, who seconds later died after being shot through the left eye.

[John Revenent]

One of my recent personal favorites:

A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew. - Herb Caen

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. - Charles M. Schulz

[Saxon Hawke]

I am often reminded of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"


Sorry for the slight derail, but I can't think of a quote the sums up Saxon in a tidy phrase.

[Valdezi]

Real Genius quotes are the only quotes

Mitch: You know, um, something strange happened to me this morning...

Chris Knight: Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

"An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep." - possibly Alexander the Great, otherwise unattributed. This quote sums up my transition from Endless Corporation (a big unwieldy blobcorp) in the beta, to the more streamlined GH-SC a few years later.

"The most effective pawn is that which does not know he stands upon a chessboard." - Me. Came up with it a few years ago, to make my character sound sage and wise. Since then, I've seen it appear on Myspace/Facebook pages, blogs, and the most random places imaginable.

Feels good bein' so quotable.
