    Yet another game post. This one involves quotes from famous people (no lyric or movie quotes). The quotes can be humorous or serious, profound or pathetic -- even poetic. For example, if the quote is:

    "P-O-T-A-T-O-E"

    The correct answer would be:

    Dan Quail

    The rules are simple and I will brazenly plagiarize dmc for the rules (seems appropriate for this topic) with a minor variation:

    For the first quote I will use my avatar's quote:

    "The only source of knowledge is experience."

    Hint: The person was a scientist.

    ... didn't want the first one to be too obscure. It is Einstein -- your turn DS.

    @oli - You really know how to be a wet blanket. ;) We can never be certain whether he spoke it or not since he's dead!

    DarkStrider is correct.

    Let's try making people think

    Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live
