Re: Possible Book
You're right, it is rather brief. However, all the context you need is right in the quote. If I give any more hints (besides those I gave just now), it will just give it away.torybear wrote:Sometimes if it is a true stumper you can provide a little context, as shown above.
In this case the quote is rather brief...you could either provide a litttle more context or narrow down the genre. It's up to you I guess. I hate to see it go in the cold quote category, but I am really struggling.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark since I have an idea, but am not sure and can't remember the actual name.
Dorrin's father in The Magic Engineer when Dorrin returned to Recluse to make the Black Fleet (or whatever it was called).

In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

I've thought that for days. It sounds like something that Jeslek says to him to put him in his place. I've scanned the books though and haven't come up with anything.
Taking it from another perspective, it also sounds like something Kinowin would say to him to continue to guide him to be humble. Again...no luck.

It sounds like the majority opinion is to stick with one quote at a time. So should we make this a Cold Quoteâ„¢ and start with a new one, or should we give this one a while longer?I wrote:Next one. Who said (and in what book):
Your saving grace has been your willingness to undergo punishment for your mistakes. Accept yourself and keep that willingness, and it may be enough to protect us all
As I said before, I'd like to keep the game moving, but I think the game will be too easy if quotes are just given away. I'd rather just post a new quote than to give one away too easily. Unless someone gets the quote right by Friday (2 weeks from the original post date), I'll officially make this a Cold Quoteâ„¢ and post a new one. If anyone objects, post your opinion by Friday, and I may reconsider.I also wrote:Fine.To keep the game moving, here's a clue:
The key to the puzzle is the word "willingness".

"Life is trial and error. Those who succeed are those who survive their failures and keep trying." - LE Modesitt, Jr.
Well, let me put it this way. If you haven't read the book, then you probably wouldn't get it no matter how many hints I gave. And if you have read it, you shouldn't need many hints.Kahrey wrote:yeah, i havent read a whole lot of them either, so i couldnt probably figure it out, but there is no other hint you can give?
