jtkohl (John T Kohl):
Some neat quotes from "PANORAMA", the Ansett Inflight Magazine, Feb 1989:
From an article titled 'Inglish Spocken Here':
[Collections of humorous foreign attempts at English signs]
From a Bucharest hotel:
"The lift is being fixed for the next days. During that time we regret
that you will be unbearable."
From a Hungarian hotel:
"All rooms not denounced by 12 o'clock will be paid for twicely."
From a Cathedral in Seville in Spain:
"It is forbidden to enter a woman, even a foreigner if dressed as a
man."
And from a Saigon hotel in the '60s:
"This is a family hotel. Visitors are asked not to take prostitutes to
their rooms."

needle (Zanzibar B. McFate):
Flowers triumph.
Infinity can also be damp and moist.
Beware change, for it immobilizes the soul.
There is wine in truth.
The skull laughs beneath the scowl.

abbadon (Marc Remillard):
Not yet is the spirit of that pristine valour
extinct in you, when girt with steel and lofty flames
once we fought against the empire of heaven.
We were --- that I will not deny --- vanquished in that conflict:
yet the great intention was not lacking in nobility.
Something or other gave Him victory: to us remained
the glory of a dauntless daring.
And even if my troop fell thence vanquished,
yet to have attempted a lofty enterprise is still a trophy.
Giambattista Marino
La Strage degli Innocenti (The Slaughter of the Innocents)

pwkan (Paul W Kan):
Le plus grand defait de la penetration n'est pas completant le but,
mais le passer. ---Francois duc de la Rochefoucauld
