Deep thoughts by Enki

"I believe that all is illusion and vanity outside the treasure of truths slowly accumulated, and which will never again be lost. I believe that the sum of these truths, always increasing, will at last confer on man incalculable power and peace, if not happiness. Yes, I believe in the final triumph of life." - Emile Zola

Dove thoughts by TheWingedWarrior

"In the garden of challenges; let resilience be your blooming flower. For even in adversity, its petals unfurl – whispering tales of strength that withstand the harshest storms." – Dove Hepburn (1900–2024) (Her most influential quote of all time!)

-The [[Centurion tank]] was a British tank introduced at the end of World War II. Although it arrived too late to play much of a role in the war, it was the main British tank throughout the early part of the Cold War. The Israelis used them against the Egyptians and Syrians during the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War, and they proved to be very tough and dependable weapons, superior to their Soviet-made counterparts.
