Quotables

I just watched Get Smart yesterday. Love that movie. It's funny, witty and the humour isn't just slapstick. There's actually some substance to the plot and the characterization.

A really good line from the movie prompted me to make a post on a few quotes that stuck in my mind lately:

"That's what they do, not who they are."
- when Maxwell Smart is talking about the bad guys being, well, bad guys

Couple more...
"If you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it."
- Irv Blitzer, the Bobsled coach in Cool Runnings, on why he cheated to get a third Olympic gold medal and risked losing the two he already had.

And last of all, to end on a completely different note, a quote from Patrick, one of my fellow counselors at the EPGY camp held at NTU in Singapore over the last 3 weeks, whose first response upon hearing the live firing from the army camp nearby was, in a calm and collected manner as he stared as his Uno cards:

"Is China attacking??"
