WINNER ANNOUNCED!! Who Said That? Comp - Week #38.

[MoeFOH]

Every week we're going to have a poll about a certain quote and who said it. Could be a famous quote from history, a line from a movie or a song, the opening line to a novel, something very topical, etc... 

We'll create a poll with the quote and a question based on it, from the answer options you just have to pick the correct one. 

Voters who pick correctly go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!!    (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, but you can participate via a web version of the site)

NO GOOGLING!! And it may not help you anyway - depending on how tricky we get with the question. We're using the honour system. It's just a bit of fun. If you know, you know. If you don't, have a stab in the dark or an educated guess (if you prefer that term ). 

You may elaborate about your choice in the topic thread below if you wish but no posting of anything that gives the answer away to those who haven't voted.

Now you know the drill, vote away!  

Good luck!!

Had a wild philosophy professor that ran off half the class when lecturing about that guy and Freud. Only way I remember the name.

I knew my wife and I getting into philosophy during the beginning of lockdown last year would pay off somehow. 

[Fuzz]

Take that Mr Alder!! (my uni advisor)

I knew taking those philosophy courses in my first year (despite them not counting one wit to my BSc in Physics and Electronics) would one day serve me well!!!

[Rhinoww]

Shouldn’t have dropped that class eh?

[BigGuns]

So neither of the two I was considering is correct.  Cool.

[mprach024]

And the survey says?.........❌

[LLC]

Guessed but not even going to check if I’m correct. Better for me to think I have a chance 😂

[Chibearsv]

Never took philosophy so a pure guess here

Me too.. more fun this way for me. I have actually known maybe two answers.

[griller]

Swing an a miss for me, LOL. I was a History major & stayed the heck away from courses like Philosophy.

[mtd057]

total guess

[BuzzArd]

A name i’ve never heard, hence my guess...

[Focal_Banger]

Swing and a hit! Now if I can score, that would be great!

[SpecialK]

Nope 🤐

[Bolismoker]

thank God my philosophy major may finally pay off

[Meesterjojo]

I can't imagine so many people anywhere would know directly as even the philosophy program at nyu didn't touch on him except peripherally from one instructor and by total chance. 

It's easy to guess when only one would use modern mode of speech saving bad translation, and two didn't have the benefit of modern grammar/inflection. The fourth would have been too busy pining over his sister to care.

[MoeFOH]

Closing this one off soon - vote now! 

[Cigar Surgeon]

Swing and a miss.

[Puros Y Vino]

[MoeFOH]
