 * proposed by Kalki

In truth, the whole progress of civilization is based upon this power. ~ Julian Huxley

 * 1 ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 00:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC) — with a lean toward 0, because the context of the quote is on the action of the US in the Vietnamese War, any relevance of this quote to the date of Operation Barbarossa is actually extremely tenuous, secondary, confused and confusing.

God was a dream of good government. You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands. ~ Morpheus (Deus Ex) (Rationale: the release date of Deus Ex)

 * Nobody has ever thought himself to death. The chief danger confronting us is not age. It is laziness, sloth, routine, stupidity, — forcing their way in like wind through the shutters, seeping into the cellar like swamp water. ~ Gilbert Highet
