"A couple of Medieval songwriters come up with the idea of Chivalry one rainy day and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was *trendy* when you were a kid. " "Would you rather I had no code of honor at all?" -- Methos and Duncan
"This is an interesting test of your reflexes -- can you turn around and fire that before I skewer you? The good news is, I'm rusty, I might miss. Want to know the bad news? The bad news is, I'm *really* pissed." -- Duncan
"True or false, if I were to stand on high ground in Key West with a good pair of binoculars I'd be as informed as I am right now." "That's true." "The intelligence budget's money is well spent, isn't it?" -- Leo and Josh
3. "Never argue with a pedant over nomenclature. It wastes your time and annoys the pedant." -- Miles
"Some fellows you have to hit with a brick to get their attention. Some you have to hit with a BIG brick." -- Delia Koudelka, 'Memory'
"A weapon is a device for making your enemy change his mind." -- Aral Vorkosigan
"Do it for yourself. The universe will be around to collect its cut later." -- Miles, 'Mirror Dance'
"Am I reading too much into all that innuendo, or did you in fact just connive to assassinate Gregor in one breath, offer to cuckold him in the next, accuse your father of homosexuality, suggest a patricidal plot against him, and league yourself with Cavilo -- what are you going to do for an encore?" "Depends on the straight lines." -- Elena and Miles, 'The Vor Game'

"Peace to you, small lady. You've won a twisted poor modern knight, to wear your favor on his sleeve. But it's a twisted poor world we were both born into, that rejects us without mercy and ejects us without consultation. But at least I won't just tilt at windmills for you. I'll send in sappers to mine the twirling suckers and blow them into the sky." -- Miles, 'Mountains of Mourning.'
"Don't panic." "I'm not panicking, I'm watching you panic. It's more entertaining." -- Miles and Quinn, 'Brothers in Arms'

"Most of the time, despite the ridiculous Muggle proverb, Snape had found that Misery did not, in fact, love Company. Misery wanted Company to bugger off and die so that Misery could sulk in peace. Screaming Agony, on the other hand, liked Company just fine, mostly because Company provided an alternate target." -- Marina Frants
"As always, I should like to remind you all that the Forbidden Forest has, in the past year, devoured eight-and-a-half of our graduating students, as well as several underclassmen, and is strictly off-limits.
