Dream Foo and Meme Update Foo
Mar. 22nd, 2006 08:32 amFirst, since it's been over a week and nobody's likely to guess any more of these, the answers to the quotes meme I did a while back:
1. "Go then, there are other worlds than these."![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
woot - Jake, The Dark Tower series, by Stephen King
2. "I saw my parents kill a girl, and then I found a dinosaur in my
basement. I haven't slept in four days."lyssachan - Gert Yorkes, Runaways comic
Open Bonus Question: Which issue? Issue #9 of Volume #1 (nobody got the bonus question, probably cause no one cared to look it up. ;))
3. I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only
way to be sure."angelophile with the full guess, tadiera with a partial - Ripley, Aliens
4. "She understands. She doesn't comprehend."lyssachan - River Tam, Firefly, "Objects in Space"
5. "Fear is the mind-killer."tadiera - Dune
Open Bonus Question: What is the name of the speech it's from, and what character first uses it? (It's from The Litany Against Fear, guessed bytadiera, and first used by Paul Atredis).
6. "Key phrases: Hexapodia as the key insight" Nobody guessed this one. It's from the book "A Fire Upon the Deep", by Vernor Vinge, and is a message in the galactic 'Net', from an alien or group of aliens known as 'Twirlip of the mists'. I figured someone would guess this one if only because I used the phrase as a 'tag' in my entries that talked about it, since I'm reading it now. :)
7. "Being blowed up isn't walking around and drinking with your buddies dead. It's little bits being swept up by a janitor dead, and I don't think you're ready for that."angelophile - Xander, from Buffy The Vampire Slayer (tv series), The Zeppo
8. "Remember, the enemy's gate is down."anomilygrace - Ender Wiggin (among other characters), Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card
9. "Questions are a burden to others, answers a prison for oneself."angelophile - Sign in The Prisoner tv series
10. "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."anomilygrace - Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell
Open Bonus Question: Which character? It's from the Diary of Winston Smith.
Now, Dream Foo! Dark Tower Related... sorta, but there are no big spoilers behind the cut because only the characters and the faintest resemblance to the plot carry over.
