Didn't get to bed last night,

You don't know how lucky you are, boys:
Back in the KSSR!” – Romanticistic Rock band “The Quin-tles”, 2262

Drops to a ten-rupee jezail --
The Crammer's boast, the Squadron's pride,
Shot like a rabbit in a ride!”
- Rudyard Kipling, Arithmetic on the Frontier

“All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.” – Robert Dylan, Old Earth Poet and Musician, circa 1967 CE

“What does peace mean to the Klingon Empire? Nothing. It is a concept they have no use for, or real understanding of – even all their words for it were conquered from the languages of their subjects.” – Ambassador Robert Fox, 2265
