Now i could think of a bunch of quotes, but only one comes to mind right now, and I have no idea who originally said it. Hell id be surprised if anyone knows where it came from, but I first heard it years and years ago, and have found myself repeating it often enough through the years since i first heard it.

"You can wish in one hand and crap* in the other; see which one fills up first".
- author unknown.



*crap, synonym for 4 letter explenative that starts with an S and ends with a T the forum mods don't like us to use.
** I've sometimes substituted "wish" for "Pray" when i thought it appropriate.

"Destiny's powerful hand has made the bed of my future, and it's up to me to lie in it. I am destined to be a superhero.

(Am I a shameless suckup or what?)
:D

Actually "Wolfpack" ie the Novalogic game was never actually released on the C64 it made it's appearance on the Amiga!!!:haha:

There was a budget arcade/strategy game called "Wulfpack" on the C64 but I'm not sure it was ever released outside the UK.

You really want to know what I want? You really want to know the truth? I
want my people to reclaim their rightful place in the galaxy. I want to see
the Centauri stretch forth their hand again, and command the stars! I-I want
a rebirth of glory, a renaissance of power. I want to stop running through my
life like a man late for an appointment, afraid to– to look back, or to look
forward. I want us to be what we used to BE! I want…I want it all back, the
way that it was!

"You have now gone deeper into the tunnel.
And you have reached a place where you should never have come.
Down here radiation is everywhere.
You do not know it, but something is happening to your body right now.
It is beyond your senses.
You feel nothing.
You smell nothing.
An invisible light is shining right through you.
It is the last glow of my civilization, that harvested the powers of the universe.
"

From "Into Eternity" documentary, spoken to someone in the far future who,
out of curiousity or otherwise might have found and entered the "Onkalo" nuclear waste repository.
