"The cream pie of justice flows only one way." - Miles Vorkosigan

Personally I find some quotes from Aral, Mile's father much more interesting. In particular the one abotu jsut what got him it trouble and the dying words of a man he killed in a duel.

Somehow those never get in the quote lists. I searched and could not find even a hint of either.

I'll try the second form memory.

'I always had planed to die in a duel over another man's wife, just not quite so soon'

[FONT=&quot]"You just say you’re a space person, don’t you," said Maggie, wondering where she’d gotten the courage to say that. "You’re not really, are you?"[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"Not anymore I’m not," said Oral. "My ships disintegrated completely over the Great Salt Lake. I was attacked by Mormon terrorists almost at once. Spent some time in Denver door-to-door. Realized I wasn’t cut out for sales. Sometime later hooked up with a tent preacher in Bloomingham Indiana. Toured the tristate area, where I did a little healing with a simple device concealed upon my person. Couldn’t get new batteries and that was that. I was taken in by nuns outside of Reading, Pennsylvania, and treated well, though I was forced to mow lawns for some time. Later I was robbed and beaten severely by high-school girls in Chattanooga, when I offered to change a tire. I have always relied on the kindness of strangers. I rely on ‘em to kick me in the a$$."

- Neal Barrett Jr., in Perpetuity Blues

"let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we die. "

1 corinthians 15:32 b

This verse sounds very suitable in a klingon feast.

Oh, and I forgot...Commander Whorf, on first tasting prune juice in the Ten-Forward bar in TNG: "THAT is a WARRIOR'S drink!"
