”Var är citatet ifrån?”-leken

Ledtråd: personen som säger det är fiktiv, så inte någon som funnits i verkligheten.

Är det fantasy? Kan det vara någon i Game of Thrones? Det brukar vara den här nivån av grovt men snyggt.
 
För att vi ska slippa gissa oss igenom lika många: boken är A Dance With Dragons. Det är inte någon obskyr karaktär.
 
"But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile."

Oscar Wilde?
 
Då hann jag inte gissa fel på G. K. Chesterton (han har jämförelsen ”My mother, drunk or sober.”)
 
Jag klarar inte av det här längre...

Det är Patrick O'Brien:s "Master & Commander", från en av de många diskussionerna om moral mellan huvudkaraktärerna kaptenen Jack Aubrey och doktorn Stephen Maturin.

Jag får väl godkänna den här, Francis Bacon använder frasen i Apothegms. Citatet är dock äldre och enligt medeltida lärdom ursprungligen från Alfonso X av Kastilien.

Det hade jag inte koll på! Trodde det var Bacon som var originalet.

Nästa citat! Ett långt ett!

Now this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back —
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too deep;
And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep.

The Jackal may follow the Tiger, but, Cub, when thy whiskers are grown,
Remember the Wolf is a Hunter — go forth and get food of thine own.

Keep peace with the Lords of the Jungle — the Tiger, the Panther, and Bear.
And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the Boar in his lair.

When Pack meets with Pack in the Jungle, and neither will go from the trail,
Lie down till the leaders have spoken — it may be fair words shall prevail.

When ye fight with a Wolf of the Pack, ye must fight him alone and afar,
Lest others take part in the quarrel, and the Pack be diminished by war.

The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, and where he has made him his home,
Not even the Head Wolf may enter, not even the Council may come.

The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, but where he has digged it too plain,
The Council shall send him a message, and so he shall change it again.

If ye kill before midnight, be silent, and wake not the woods with your bay,
Lest ye frighten the deer from the crop, and your brothers go empty away.

Ye may kill for yourselves, and your mates, and your cubs as they need, and ye can;
But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Man!

If ye plunder his Kill from a weaker, devour not all in thy pride;
Pack-Right is the right of the meanest; so leave him the head and the hide.

The Kill of the Pack is the meat of the Pack. Ye must eat where it lies;
And no one may carry away of that meat to his lair, or he dies.

The Kill of the Wolf is the meat of the Wolf. He may do what he will;
But, till he has given permission, the Pack may not eat of that Kill.

Cub-Right is the right of the Yearling. From all of his Pack he may claim
Full-gorge when the killer has eaten; and none may refuse him the same.

Lair-Right is the right of the Mother. From all of her year she may claim
One haunch of each kill for her litter, and none may deny her the same.

Cave-Right is the right of the Father — to hunt by himself for his own:
He is freed of all calls to the Pack; he is judged by the Council alone.

Because of his age and his cunning, because of his gripe and his paw,
In all that the Law leaveth open, the word of your Head Wolf is Law.

Now these are the Laws of the Jungle, and many and mighty are they;
But the head and the hoof of the Law and the haunch and the hump is — Obey!

Jag gissar på en sci fi-författare, men jag har ingen aning om vem det skulle kunna vara. Isaac Asimov?

Jag vet inte hur Cybot tänker här, men jag vill påpeka att folk som skriver sakprosa kan kallas författare. Dvs författare och skönlitterär författare är inte synonymer. Jag har t ex skrivit två böcker, men inte någon skönlitteratur, vilket gör att jag lever upp till Författarförbundets krav på medlemskap. Sen går jag inte runt och kallar mig författare för det känns väldigt pretto.

Carl Sagan är ju faktiskt skönlitterär författare:

Om du frågar vilken bok citatet kommer ifrån så har jag inte en snöbolls chans i helvetet att gissa rätt, då jag aldrig läst något av honom.

Men nu något helt annat:

"If you told me this morning that a toothbrush was gonna save [censurerat] I'd have been very sceptical."

Kristian Tyrann ringde just till Historiska institutionen i Lund och klagade på den här posten.

Han sa bland annat:
  • "Let’s be honest, folks — nobody was tougher on rebellions than me, believe me, I did what had to be done, and everyone knows it."
  • "They call me 'Kristian Tyrann' — not because I was bad, but because I was effective — VERY effective, unlike weak Gustav."
  • "When Stockholm needed order, I brought it — quickly, strongly, no hesitation — that’s leadership, not running to the woods like some people!"
  • "Gustav talked a big game, but I acted — I cleaned house, and sometimes you have to be brutal to be great, and I was GREAT."
  • "People say ‘Kristian, wasn’t that too much?’ and I say ‘No — it was historic, legendary, people still talk about it, even the Swedes can’t stop!’"

Ibland behöver man blodbada en stad eller två av rimliga skäl! Nu tycker jag du var väldigt hård mot en kille som, och detta är ju det viktigaste, var riktigt bra för Skåne!

All denna tid har Trump bara citerat Kristian Tyrann!?

Det skulle passa in där, men citatet är inte från Liftarens guide till galaxen tyvärr :)

I don't think so, Admiral. You se, at this point, I'm pretty much the Queen B*tch of the Universe. And not all of your little soldiers or space ships will stand in my way again.

Men vafan, här kommer det två grejer i rad som jag kunde utan att behöva tänka så var det redan för sent att svara på båda.
