"They shall all drown in lakes of blood. Now they will know why they are afraid of the dark. Now they will learn why they fear the night."
"This is good. But what is best in life?"
"The open steppe. A fleet horse. Falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair."
"Wrong! Conan, what is best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you; and to hear the lamentations of their women."

"The day my father came to claim me, my mother did not wish for me to go. 'She is a girl,' she said, 'and I do not think that she is yours. I had a thousand other men.' He tossed his spear at my feet and gave my mother the back of his hand across the face, so she began to weep. 'Girl or boy, we fight our battles,' he said, 'but the gods let us choose our weapons.' He pointed at the spear, then to my mother's tears, and I picked up the spear. 'I told you she was mine,' my father said, and took me."

Re: The Quote Thread
"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts… their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?

From the mask of zorro
Don Rafael Montero: Do you recognize him?
Elena: No, but he was young and vigorous.
[pause]
Elena: He was very vigorous, father.
Don Rafael Montero: Vigorous?
Elena: [sighing deeply] Yes.

Re: The Quote Thread
Came across this today in my feed.
Explaining Australian politics to Americans:
The Liberal Party is the conservative party here, anti gay, pro corporation, pro consumption tax, anti labour rights. The Liberal Party supports subsidising miners, private education and private health but is against subsidies and welfare.
The National Party is a rural party and not national at all and is now a subsidiary of the Liberal party
the Democratic Labor Party is the christian party
the Australian Labour Party has become the party of national market liberalisation as well as the keynsian party and is general seen as the unionist party and is for subsidising the car industry, public schools and not private health or miners.
the Republicans tend to be educated and primarily linked to middle class who make up the Liberal Party party, who are are against the Australian Republicans but for the American Republicans, contains the wealthy, and the upper middle class and the rurals. the Middle class who also tend to be republicans but not the rural population which is part of the National Party which is a subsidiary of the Liberal Party which is against the Republicans.
the Democratic party was aligned with socialists but signed a deal 10 years ago that aligned with the conservative Liberal Party and got wiped out but was started by a Liberal who was a conservative.
former liberal PM John Howard was a US republican fan, and an enemy of Australian republicans. Rudd and Gillard are labor and support Obama.
...
So basically its that simple
