Ok, how about

"Some people don't need a reason to hate, and you have to learn to deal with it"

Name the speaker and the book.

That's Estepp speaking to Alucius, in 'Legacies'.

I was afraid you were able to go again.

Your turn.

Hehe, sorry....

Ok... who said this, in what book?

"Golem! Infidel? Why should I believe anything you
say?"

The Parafaith War.

An invading Rev that Trystin captured (saying it to Trystin).

The slur "golem" is a reference to the artificial 'upgrades' the Eco-Techs had (as in they are less human because they are more artificial).

I finally got one!!

MK - quite right, and a very comprehensive answer!

Your turn...

Ok, here goes:

"Power without morality is disaster; morality without power is useless."

It sounds familiar, but I can't place it.

Sorry Midas, like ghost says it sounds familiar but there are so many similar things lke that i cant think where it might be from.

OK, Iâ€™ll make a guess â€“ Reba in Fall of Angles.

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 12:20 pm

Nope, try again.

Post by **Kvetch** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 1:09 pm

an ecotech dialogue?

RecluceMage · Post by **RecluceMage** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 1:27 pm

Adiamante, Ektor.

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 3:16 pm

Good job RM. It was in Ektor's private thoughts. I didn't want to say "name the book and speaker" because it wasn't spoken.

You're up.

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 3:21 pm

Umm, where's the Sherlock thread and where's the soapbox for that matter?

Aunflin · Post by **Aunflin** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 3:49 pm

The Sherlock thread is in the Reading Room...and you have to join the Soap Box now...just check out the :usergroups: thingee at the top of the screen...

Wow, and I haven't read that book in years! Ok, I'm at work now, but I'll have a new quote for everyone by the morning (meaning it will be posted late tonight).

He He He, I've got to get a good one, all of my previous ones were too easy.

Justice should not be imposed by a mob, nor restricted to those with the credits to purchase the best advocates or the best expertise and witnesses.

To win you need title of the book and from whence the quote came.

Echus Cthulhu Mythos · Thu Oct 07, 2004 10:56 pm

Argh! I have read this one!!

Hunter B · Post by **Hunter B** » Thu Oct 07, 2004 11:04 pm

Argh! I haven't read this one!!!!

Echus Cthulhu Mythos · Thu Oct 07, 2004 11:09 pm

I'll guess at the book. Is it in the Ethos Effect?

RecluceMage · Post by **RecluceMage** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 6:34 am

It is not the Ethos Effect.

MidasKnight · Post by **MidasKnight** » Fri Oct 08, 2004 9:36 am

I immediately thought of Jordan's The Shadow Rising when Egwene and Nynaeve and that princess chick were in that western city that was very near chaos.

But alas, wrong author.

I have no clue.
