By the way : Who is in line for Quote no. 7000, Jan . . . would that be Glindros ?
I think Marsden should have the honor this time. So let's keep this going, shall we?

Oh, and for those interested in the hisorical aspects of this thread, I began this little conversation at 04-02-2007, 07:36 PM so it's been ongoing, with a few fairly short gaps for almost FIVE YEARS!

I think we should all take a bow!

I collect secrets: black projects, conspiracies, secret organizations. They fascinate me.

(Hurray to all of us! Can't wait to see what it is. Ok Marsden, no pressure for an amazing quote)

You know, I'm getting little tired of these unannounced visits by VIPs who will not tell us why they are coming or what they are going to do when they get here.

"So much has been lost, so much forgotten. So much pain, so much blood. And for what, I wonder. The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast terrible inbetween. But there is still time to seize that one last fragile moment. To choose something better, to make a difference, as you say. And I intend to do just that."

"Then I cannot help you, and you will be caught forever in-between. You must let go. Surrender yourself to death. The death of flesh, the death of fear. Step into the abyss and let go."
