  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

"The earth? Oh the earth will be gone in a few seconds...I'm going to blow it up. It's obstructing my view of Venus."
- Marvin the Martian




Mourn not for us, for we have known the light,
Have looked on beauty, have lived in peace and love,
Grieve but for those who go alone, unwise,
To die in darkness, never having see the Sun [or is it the Son?]
- Twilight Zone episode "The Star" based on story by Arthur C. Clarke


Dr. Peter Venkman: Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon... what've you got left?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Sorry, Venkman, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

Hmm... one of my favorite quotes is from the Star Wars book Vision of the Future.

"Save the uh-ohs for polite company. Just say shavit and mean it."

And so many classic quotes from the Star Wars movies. For now I'll stick with

"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

And is this limited to quotes from sci-fi books, movies, or TV series?

Ooh, games are fair game? I could have a field day with Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic quotes. I'll restrain myself, though. Besides the one in my signature, I just have to add these two:

"Dark Jedi are bad enough, but when a woman falls to the dark side you better space yourself before they catch you! Uh, no offense or anything..."
Atton Rand, from Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 speaking to a female main character about a female Jedi who fell to the dark side.

This one is from Mass Effect. Gianna Parasini, a police officer, is dragging a loudly protesting businessman past the main character, who helped her get the evidence she needed to arrest the businessman.

"You have the right to remain silent. I wish to God you'd exercise it! See you around the galaxy, Commander. I owe you a beer."

"It was just him and me. He fought with honor. If it weren't for his honor, he and the others would have beaten me together. They might have killed me, then. His sense of honor saved my life. I didn't fight with honor... I fought to win."
- Andrew "Ender" Wiggen, "Ender's Game"

"I'll lie to him."
"And if that doesn't work?"
"Then I'll tell the truth. We're allowed to do that, in emergencies. We can't plan for everything, you know."
- From "Ender's Game"

"I've seen Australia and I've lived on an asteroid and I'd take the asteroid."

Hope it's okay for a newbe to join in. One of my favorite quotes is from the new Battlestar Galactica:

"I'm the President. I don't have to listen," -President Baltar.

I like it not because it's good to think that way, but because it sumed up his character.

One where the quote isn't needed, jsut the idea. And the 'quote is second hand anyway is from Cordelia's honor. It relates the last words of a young amn who lost a duel to the Hero, Aral VorKossagian.

If went something like.

He told me he always had hoped to die in a duel with an angry husband, but that he had hoped to have it happen when he was an old man.

Kirk of Star Trek after McCoy has just given him a lecture: "Don't mince words, Bones. Tell us what you really think!"

Mal in Firefly: "May have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

Mal in Serenity: "This is the Captain. We have a ... little problem with our engine sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence and then explode."

"This is the captain speaking. We're having some trouble with our clearance so we may experience some turbulence.... and then, explode."
-Capt. Malcolm Reynolds

From Firefly. Either the TV show or the movie. I can't remember which.

Haha, definitely one of my favorites. And it's from the movie.

Another one of my favorites: "It had been a perfect evening and what I needed now, to give it a perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van." -- A Clock Work Orange
