The Battle of Quotes. So, i post a quote which i like. Then the next person are going to post a quote wich speaks aginst it. For example: “An eye for an eye." (Exodus 21:24). And you can then battle the quote with: “The law an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” (Mahatma Gandhi 1869-1948). My first card is: "We must use time creatively." (Martin Luther King, Jr 1929 -1968.) Its a hard one. Good luck.
OOC: Can we use quotes of our friends?
OOT:Every quote you know is legit.
OOC: Haha "I spent ALL night playing Rome: Total War." (Lord Farwell, 2009)
Hmm if you belive youve countered it you need to come up with a new one for the next to beat.
Try this one: "A sense of humor is a major defense against minor troubles. (Mignon McLaughlin, ????)
"a witty saying proves nothing." Voltaire "Ice cream is exquisite... what a pity it isn't illegal" Voltaire
"I hate ice cream and love sorbet, case closed." (Light-of-Power, 2010) A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle. (George William Curtis, ????)
Hard one. And i'm not sure its all legally beating it but: "I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land without bounds." (Harriet Tubman 1820-1913.) My second card: "Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal." (Friedrich Nietzsche 1844-1900.)
I don't know how to counter that
Hmm had looked forward to see that one beaten.. Well, then try come with a new one for us to battle if theres noone that can beat this one.

And life awaits man as the sea awaits the river. (Simone Schwarz-Bart 1938 - ????)
