Originally appearing in HyperBole Magazine, this on-going group grope of history is sure to shine a little light into the dimmer corners of modern existence.

HyperQuote is your opportunity to submit thoughts from distant and recent history for contemporary comment. It is curious to see how many of the conclusions people have reached in ages past apply so strikingly well to today's culture. This is the quote page. To submit a quote of your own, fill out the form at the bottom of the page. No need to put your quote in quotation marks; this will be done automatically. To debate the quotes, or just read the responses, follow the links to the appropriate response page.

"
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.

"Everlasting Stain
My heart grows cold like the steal of a sword
Left to die in the field or war
The long lost strength and power now gone
Its once great beauty and luster fades away
The blood of many and the blood of few
Is all that is left mingling with the rust
Of the once deadly weapon of a warrior
Who has fallen at the hands of another
The mighty sword has failed"

"I strove with none, for none was worth my strife.
I loved first nature, and next to nature, art.
I warmed both hands before the fire of life,
it sinks, and I am ready to depart."

"If you go into a store to puchase a roach clip, why won't they sell it to you under that name?
Your use for the device is to hold a roach.
Thus it so should be "reffered" to."

"It amazes me that, given the opportunity
to submit even the most unbelievably stupid
or trite quote, so many people take the
opportunity to confirm, by trying it out,
that the opportunity really does
extend to the most unbelievably stupid
or trite quote.
So perhaps computers with Internet access
should have analyzers, much like the
breathalyzers that can be attached to automobile
ignitions. Then the computers could check
to see whether people are drunk or sleep-deprived
before allowing the people to post quotes,
Usenet news, email, etc."
