Quotations

Choice. The problem is choice. File:Poi circles.jpg|195px|thumb|right|What happened, happened, and could not have happened any other way.—Morpheus

Then tomorrow we may all be dead, but how would that be different from any other day? This is a war, and we are soldiers. Death can come for us at any time, in any place. Now consider the alternative. What if I am right? What if the prophecy is true? What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?

What happened, happened and could not have happened any other way.

We're not here because we're free; we're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

The beauty about me is that, there are so many of me.

Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

Château Haut-Brion 1959, magnificent wine, I love French wine, like I love the French language. I have sampled every language, French is my favourite - fantastic language, especially to curse with. Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d'enculé de ta mère. It's like wiping your ass with silk, I love it.
