I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. - Stephen Hawking
Re: EB load screen Quotes
Yes, but where are the ORIGINALS? Meaning, the Latin and (old-) Greek quotes ..., even if I'm not current in both languages, I'd like to look at them.Originally Posted by bovi
Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"

Re: EB load screen Quotes
You could probably find them at http://www.perseus.tufts.edu
Beware though, that website is painfully slow.
Re: EB load screen Quotes
Hmm, ... I have the impression that I pointed my question in a misunderstoodable fashion. What I meant was, where are the Latin/Greek quotes from the load-screens hidden? In that txt-file, I found the english translation, say "I came, saw and won" but not "Veni, vidi, vici".
Sorry, but English/American's not my mother-language/tongue.

Except for those where the original and the translation are combined, you will not find this in the EB files. You can try the site Abou mentioned.

Re: EB load screen Quotes
It has been tried to put the original Ancient Greek text but what you saw was something like...")Q*(#$&)@(*$&)#@(*$&)" and so to avoid further...we stuck to english.
