"What do we know,..., of the world and the universe about us? Our means of receiving impressions are absurdly few, and our notions of surrounding objects infinitely narrow. We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and can gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with a wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see very differently the things we see, but might see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand yet can never be detected with the senses we have."

For many, the line between right and wrong is clear. For others, that only means it's transparent.
From the ashes of our defeat, we will be reborn. With these chains with which we are bound, we will become indivisible. To those who showed us no mercy, we will give no sympathy. For the flames that burn our cities, we will douse in injustice's blood

Some of the people complaining in this thread have valid points about the fact that they don't feel safe. Simple fact of the matter is, that you're not suppose to feel safe in New Eden.
Eve is not a game for the faint hearted. It's a game that will chew you up and spit you out in the blink of an eye if you even think about letting your guard down or becoming complacent.
While every other MMO starts off with an intro that tells you you're going to be the savior of the realm, holds your hand, protects you, nurtures your development and ultimately guides you to your destiny as a hero along with several other million players who've had the exact same experience, EVE assaults you from the second you begin to play after you create a character, spitting you out into a universe that under the surface, is so complex that it's enough to make your head explode.
The entire design is based around being harsh, vicious, relentless, hostile and cold. It's about action and reaction, and the story that unfolds as you experience these two things.
True, we're working hard to lower the bar of entry so that more players can enjoy EVE and can get into the game. Our NPE (New Player Experience) is challenging, and we're trying to improve it to better prepare rookies for what lies out there, but when you start to play eve, you'll always start out as the little fish in the big pond.
The only way to grow is to voraciously consume what's around you, and its your choice whether that happens to be New Eden's abundant natural resources, or the other people who're also fighting their way to the top.
EVE is a playing experience like no other, where every action or reaction resonates through a single universe and is felt by players from all corners of the word. There are no shards here, no mirror universes, no instances and very few rules. If you stumble across something valuable, then chances are someone else already knows where you are, or is working their way toward you and you better be prepared to fight for what you've discovered.
EVE will test you from the outset, from the very second you undock and glimpse the stars, and will take pleasure from sorting those who can survive from those who'd rather curl up and perish.
EVE will let you fight until you collapse, then let you struggle to your feet, exhausted from the effort. Then when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel it'll kick you flat on your ass in the mud again and ask you why you deserve to be standing. It'll test you against every other individual playing at some point or another, and it'll ask for answers.
Give it an answer and maybe it'll let you up again, long enough to gather your thoughts. After a few more steps you're on the ground again and it's asking more questions.
EVE is designed to be harsh, it's designed to be challenging, and it's designed to be so deep and complex that it should fascinate and terrify you at the same time.
Corporation, Alliances and coalitions of tens of thousands have risen and fallen on these basic principles, and every one of those thousands of people has their own unique story to tell about how it affected them and what they experienced.
That's the beauty of EVE. Action and reaction. Emergence.
Welcome to the most frightening virtual playground you'll ever experience.
And this is why I play eve online. Perfect. |

2. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

3. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
Success in life = X + Y + Z. Work is X; Y is play; and Z is keeping your mouth shut.
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!
I want to know God's thoughts... the rest are details.

The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries Description The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries is a self-help book for mercenaries, privateers, and pretty much anybody who acts roguish. 1. Pillage, then burn 2. A Sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on . 3. An ordnance technician at a dead run outranks everybody 4. Close air support covereth a multitude of sins 5. Close air support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart, 6. If violence wasnGÇÖt your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it 7. If the food is good enough the grunts will stop complaining about the incoming fire. 8. Mockery and derision have their place. Usually, it's on the far side of the airlock 9. Never turn your back on an enemy 10. Sometimes the only way out is through... through the hull 11. Everything is air-droppable at least once 12. A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head 13. Do unto others 14. "Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "what's the worst thing that could happen?" . 15. Only you can prevent friendly fire 16. Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth 17. The longer everything goes according to plan, the bigger the impending disaster 18. If the officers are leading from in front, watch for an attack from the rear 19. The world is richer when you turn enemies into friends, but that's not the same as you being richer. 20. If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win 21. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he's lucky just to be alive, and he'll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow 22. If you can see the whites of their eyes, somebody's done something wrong 23. The company mess and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart 24. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a big gun 25. If a manufacturer's warranty covers the damage you do, you didn't do enough damage 26. "Fire and Forget" is fine, provided you never actually forget. 27. Don't be afraid to be the first to resort to violence 28. If the price of collateral damage is high enough, you might be able to get paid to bring ammunition home with you 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, no more, no less 30. A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go 31. Only cheaters prosper 32. Anything is amphibious if you can get it back out of the water 33. If you're leaving tracks, you're being followed 34. If youGÇÖre leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun 35. That which does not kill me has made a tactical error 36. When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support 37. There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'reload.' 38. What's easy for you can still be hard on your clients. 39. There is a difference between "spare" parts and "extra" parts 40. Not all good news is enemy action. 41. "Do you have a backup?" means "I can't fix this. 42. "They'll never expect this" means "I want to try something stupid." 43. If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and you're lucky 44. If it will blow a hole in the ground, it will double as an entrenching tool. 45. The size of the combat bonus is inversely proportional to the likelihood of surviving to collect it. 46. Don't try to save money by conserving ammunition. 47. Don't expect the enemy to cooperate in the creation of your dream engagement. 48. If it ain't broke, it hasn't been issued to the infantry. 49. Every client is one missed payment from becoming a target 50. Every target is one bribe away from becoming a client. 51. Let them see you sharpen the sword before you fall on it. 52. The army you've got is never the army you want 53. The intel you've got is never the intel you want 54. It's only too many troops if you can't pay them. 55. It's only too many weapons if they're pointing in the wrong direction. 56. Infantry exists to paint targets for people with real guns 57. Artillery exists to launch large chunks of budget at an enemy if cannot actually see. 58. The pen is mightiest when it writes orders for swords. 59. Two wrongs is probably not going to be enough 60.

Anything labeled "This End Toward Enemy" is dangerous at both ends. 63. The brass knows how to do it by knowing who can do it 64. An ounce of sniper is worth a pound of suppressing fire 65. After the toss, be the one with the pin, not the one with the grenade. 66. Necessity is the mother of deception. 67. If you can't carry cash, carry a weapon. 68. Negotiating from a position of strength does not mean you shouldnGÇÖt also negotiate from a position near the exits[ . 69. Sometimes rank is a function of firepower. 70. Failure is not an option. It is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do."

Funny how many cool quotes of Allied generals from WWII can be found and how hard it is to find any cool quotes from Axis generals. So I had to do a lot of internet research to dig at least some of them up, in an effort to bring balance to the force:
"Gentlemen, you fought like lions...but you were led by donkeys." Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
"Sweat saves blood. Blood saves lives. Brains saves both" Erwin Rommel
"Please don't worry about me, I'm a hopeless optimist." Last words of Grand Admiral Wilhelm Canaris when facing his execution squad
I couldn't find any remarkable quotes by Japanese officers however..maybe they were never translated into English?
I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it.
Yes, I do feel bad about it.
