Best UQM Quotes
« on: August 01, 2004, 10:29:03 pm »
What is your favorite UQM quote? Was it something ironic from
the Melnorm? Was it something timid from the Commander? Profound
insight from the Ur-Quan? Or just silly Frungy quotes?

Mine is the following, which seems to reflect the way many in power
think these days:

"Your independence is too dangerous for us to tolerate."
-- Ur-Quan Lord

The entire Orz script from beginning to end. It doesn't get any more brilliant and insightful than that.

A mycon quote which goes as follows (or something to the effect, my memory may be off):

A thousand of your species does not contain the richness in one of my cells.

Mycon saying.

"Juffo-Wup fills in my fibers and I grow turgid. Violent action ensues."

In my early days I had no idea what that meant. Grin

Oh, yes. The mycon quote is the only one I've used out of context, it's excellent.

A Few Spathi quotes.

"But what do you really want out of this great mystery called `Life'?"
"I want to live forever, with no pain whatsoever, owning vast personal property plus a company of nubiles.
If this is in your power to give, I beg of you to do so."

"Ahhh.... Mysteries of universe... try to understand them, but can we?
Nope! They're mysteries!"

And one from the Ilwarth:
"Even our housepets are rather evil"

I also like this one.....

Quote


Two aspects of your last statement defy the course of nature as I know it.
First
`Peace' as you call it, is an illusion.
If you have `Peace', you simply haven't yet seen the thing that's trying to kill you.
Second
Peaceful missions through the Cosmos rarely require weapons large enough to punch holes through a small moon.

That is when you have the ion cannon as your only weaponry. So......  That means that your main weapon is used for planetary bombardment - I wonder what Fwiffo would think of the Hellbore!   Grin

Actually, I bet they say that even if your flagship has no weapons at all.

The precursor planet lander is nothing to sneeze at. It wiped out all the evil ones, something the entire Spathi species couldn't do. To be fair, this is probably because they know absolutely nothing of ground warefare and didn't want to bomb their own planet.
