[Pannonian]

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.
* Academician Prokhor Zakharov

Remember, genes are NOT blueprints. This means you can't, for example, insert "the genes for an elephant's trunk" into a giraffe and get a giraffe with a trunk. There are no genes for trunks. What you CAN do with genes is chemistry, since DNA codes for chemicals. For instance, we can in theory splice the native plants' talent for nitrogen fixation into a terran plant.
* Academician Prokhor Zakharov, "Nonlinear Genetics"

I loved my chosen. How then to face the day when she left me? So I took from her body a single cell, perhaps to love her again.
* Commissioner Pravin Lal, "Time of Bereavement"

Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded.

People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.
* Morgan Stellartots Keynote Speech, "Mythology for Profit"

We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

From Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

...The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.
* Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"

Ready to work-Orc peon from Warcraft III

Well, basically 2 friends of mine had an argument on what he was saying. One friend was sure that it was Ready to work, which is correct, but the other one kept on insisting it was Ready to learn, which I don't understand how it makes sense at all. A humorous argument followed and my other friend still somehow thinks its learn...
