God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who *smiles all the time*.

Well now we're just splitting hairs

**** knows who said it first, it's not exactly highly original (and for the record several people have famously said it), but Kurt Cobain is more famous for saying it than anyone else, so it's most likely slipss heard his version of it.

I thought it was the skeleton from the Maxell VHS tape ads in the 80's.

Erm, no mate. Neil Young did say it first. My My, Hey Hey. Look it up. And yes, at the time it was original. Because that was its origin.:rolleyes:

How is it when somebody else has their facts wrong it's ok for you to correct someone but then when someone corrects you suddenly it's "splitting hairs"?:v:

Christ, relax mate. I was taking the piss with the splitting hair things, hence the "look at me, I'm taking the piss" emoticon.

I'm not denying the fact that Neil Young said it first, I honestly have no idea who said it first (as I've already stated). All I meant was that since (at this point in time, before you argue with me again) it's no longer an original quote, slipss probably heard it in relation to Kurt Cobain, since he said it more famously than Neil Young, or anyone else for that matter. Infact Cobain might have been quoting Neil Young for all I know.

Actually I did hear it first from Jimmy Hendrix, he said it in an interview with a philosophy student from cambridge, theres an old black and white video of the interview that I've never been able to track down, maybe I dreamt it. But seeing as you seem pretty sure I'll except that it was Jimmy quoting Neil Young. I heard Kurt say it on more than one occasion, but I'm pretty sure that he laughed and said "Hendrix gave me that one" after saying it, maybe another dream though.

slipss · 26-02-2006 05:58AM

In a more recent format I said it in Circuit Court No.8, it did not go down well at all!, but I saw the judge smile, so maybe he was a Young/Hendrix/Nirvana fan. either way I'm still here and posting on this sad but addictive website so I must have done something right.

I wasn't meaning to correct you or dispute where you say you heard it from by the way, it's just that you had a question mark after the name so I assumed that meant you weren't sure and were looking for a second opinion

Apologies if I misinterpreted that.

No buddy you had it dead right, I had the question mark because I wasn't sure, thanks.

<it was Neil Young who said it, it was a lyric from a song that my friends always talkin about>

Right, so back to the quotes then:

Out in some random bog in Ireland in Finding Morris:
Narcissus: Where were you?
Laef Gunnisson: Just taking the bog for a walk.

Also:
Laef Gunnisson: You're like the great wall of china boy, you aint goin down...
...until you met me.

And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed. "

A bunch of Oscar Wilde Quotes:

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.

To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity.

(And a great one for this thread)
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
