Hey, someone else who read Nietzche, excellent

Shouldn't be ridiculously hard....

Anyone? Beuller? Beuller?

Sounds like either a Mark Twain quote or someone with lysdexia.

Right medium, wrong name. And to my knowledge, this person never stayed up wondering if there is a dog.

Haha! Haven't checked this out for a good while, but immediately when I do, I recognize a quote. As a piece of background information, my favourite bar over here is a place called Hemingway's. No idea if that's from a book or not and I had not seen the English version of this quote before, only the Finnish translation. Anyway, I am quite sure that's a Hemingway quote.

DING DING DING! We have a winner!

As said, I have no idea what the source is, but the bar has a load of Hemingway quotes printed in their drinklists and such. Lucky me.

I suck at this, so I am going to give you an easy one and fade away until someone gives me another Hemingway to pick up: "He who blinded by ambition, raises himself to a position whence he cannot mount higher, must thereafter fall with the greatest loss."

*bumping this because I don't feel like tagging back in.....

Perhaps obvious quote was too obvious.

I believe that is Machiavelli, yes?

Cheers, ranlam

Tshern · « **Reply #232 on:** March 22, 2009, 02:36:37 AM »

Correct.

Because I could not stop for Death-he kindly stopped for me-the carriage held but just Ourselves-and Immortality.

Cheers, ranlam

Emily Dickenson. (Made easier by the fact that a play on said quote appears in Portal.)

ranlam · « **Reply #235 on:** March 23, 2009, 07:13:45 AM »

Sure enough (too easy? hah)

Cheers,

I'm drawing a blank, so I'll let someone else put one up.

This quote annoys me greatly. I find it so very familiar, but cannot quite put my finger on it. The style is very similar to Master and Margarita, but I am sure it is not from that book.

Hint time, then?
