There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant
never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare
to die.
- Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 1998
Field Marshal Model: What can you see?
General Ludwig: Nothing. But they're going to try a river assault.
Field Marshal Model: It will fail.
General Ludwig: Of course. But what do we do if it doesn't?
- A Bridge Too Far, 1977
We're not running. We're eluding.
-Sean Connery as John Conner, Rising Sun, 1993
