Unsourced Quotes
I'm pretty sure these quotes all started off as a joke. Unless someone can provide legitimate sources (such as interviews with, or press coverage of, Van Damme) for these quotes by March 21, 2008, they will be removed. --Ubiquity 00:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The "sound waves" quotation is here around 2:30. I can't follow French well enough to say how accurate the translation is. JerryFriedman (talk) 14:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Apparently there's a transcription at that page. A l'an 3000 les gens vont se parler avec,…, les yeux, des ondes. Ne me prend pas pour un fou les baleines le font, les dauphins aussi. Ce sont des animaux très intelligents dans la mer. Nous on vit dans la terre. Et eux se communiquent, vu qu'ils ne savent pas parler dans l'eau, ils sont forcés d'utiliser des ondes, des ondes de love ou de hate et la communication se fait comme ca.


 * Roughly "In the year 3000 people will talk to each other with... their eyes, with waves. Don't take me for a madman&mdash;whales do it, dolphins too.  These are very intelligent animals in the sea.  We live on land.  And they communicate&mdash;seeing that they can't talk in the water, they're forced to use waves, waves of love or of hate, and communication gets done that way."  Nothing about sound waves.
