Why Are There No SMAC Quotes?

Why are there no quotes from Alpha Centauri? SMAC is ever bit as much of Apolyton as Civ and more so then Star Trek. Some examples of great quotes that could go in are. PLus many more that are left out.

Quote:

Man has killed man from the beginning of time, and each new frontier has brought new ways and new places to die. Why should the future be different?

Col. Corazon Santiago
"Planet: A Survivalist's Guide"

Beware, you who seek first and final principles, for you are trampling the garden of an angry God and he awaits you just beyond the last theorem.

"What goes up . . . better doggone well stay up!"

Morgan Gravitonics

Yes, yes, we've all heard the philosophers babble about "oneness" being "beautiful" and "holy". But let me tell you that {this} kind of oneness certainly isn't pretty and if you're not careful it will scare the bejeezus out of you.

Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded.

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang
"Looking God in the Eye"

Optical computers, genetic catalogs, nanorepair modules--forget all of that. It's when you see a megaton of steel suspended over your head by a thread the thickness of a human hair that you really find God in technology.

The first living thing to go through the device was a small white rat. I still have him, in fact. As you can see, the damage was not so great as they say.

Academician Prokhor Zakharov
"See How They Run"

The Morgans fear what may not be purchased, for a trader cannot comprehend a thing that is priceless.

Sister Miriam Godwinson
"The Collected Sermons"

Information, the first principle of warfare, must form the foundation of all your efforts. Know, of course, thine enemy. But in knowing him do not forget above all to know thyself. The commander who embraces this totality of battle shall win even with the inferior force.

Spartan Battle Manual

What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang
"Essays on Mind and Matter"

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

Well, one reason might be that you hear those quotes over and over in SMAC, so you'd probably want some variety on Apolyton.

How many times have you seen the same Star Trek quote when you post or edit or change something?

like I post in the Community forum enough to know. This forum is where the true spammers gather to practice their evil craft.

Skanky Burns · June 25, 2002, 17:57

This is the forum that gives as that warm and fuzzy community feel. How dare you insinuate that we are spammers!!

spartak · June 26, 2002, 06:53

warm and fuzzy?

Alex · June 27, 2002, 15:59

Who's spamming here?

Anyway, I'd like to see more SMAC quotes. They are cool.

Kassiopeia · June 27, 2002, 16:06

All the quotes have been posted in accurate format and in the right thread, we need Marky to put them up (unless he already has). add any if there's some missing.
