The Real Quote
Straight from imdb.com, here is the real quote:
Helen: Gort! Klaatu barada nikto! For more, see QuotesFromDTESS I think it's important to get this stuff right. First, I hate to hear great literature mangled. Second, if you say this wrong, you could inadvertantly call down a strike from the Mothership that constantly circles the Earth. GC |
Re: The Real Quote

they didnt say what miringa was. i remember he said that when needed gort to help. |
Re: The Real Quote
Couldn't resist after reading Mason's cited article.
Anyways, I think Machiavelli said something to the effect: "All conflict arises from the need to provision. Since we never know how much is enough, our need to provision is endless..." I think I saw that Quote in "Warrior Politics" by Robert Kaplan. His basic argument is that "ancient times haven't left us yet, so we should use the tactics that worked then". Personally I agree that the times have not left. But I disagree on his proposed solution. Many folks see "The Prince" as "The Answer". Personally, I see it as "The Problem". If we can't get past Machiavellism, we haven't made an inch of progress since 1488, when it was written. Sincerely, AA |
