I like a lot of your new quotes, so I want to copy them into my "quotes selection" txt. So, what file are they in?

And, somewhat related, What are those "cycle of Don" and "cycle of Telam" that seem the sources of most of your celtic quotes?

Well, the quotes should be found in data/quotes/quotes.txt, although I'd check with EB before copying them for a mod. I wondered about the Cycles as well, I've never heard of them. They have some nice quotes though.

Actually, I believe he wants one of them for a tattoo in Latin.

Ranika said The Gaelic White Guide has a lot of them in it. There are also black, red, and blue guides. The cycles are oral traditions, transcribed later. I'll point him to this post, and maybe he can elaborate.

I'm not the guy who wanted a tattoo, :sweatdrop:. I simply like to have all those smart sentences that contain a certain amount of wisdom collected to read from time to time, or to use them as signs on the forums or in messenger.

...and they can all be found in the file Data\text\quotes.txt

The "cycles" are part of the Celtic oral history, transcribed in later times, as Malrubius says above. Many of them are as yet to be translated into modern Irish, much less English, so we're lucky to have someone with access to them on the team.
