No idea, it's the only one of the more well-known space operas that I don't know at all and I don't feel like copying the cast of the show is how this game is supposed to be played  :lol:

Not sure what you mean with copying the cast?

Anyway, it was Starbug, and it's your turn :)

Me neither, Keswick. :denk:  May I join you?

Anyway, congratulations for the longest sentence in awhile, my dear.

It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.

Right ... as I read the books by myself, I had to look up how Stephen Fry is connected to Harry Potter. But you are right.

So now, who said this?

And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith
so as to remove mountains, but have no love, I am nothing.

That's from the world's most famous collection of books of fiction. This specific instance was (most likely) authored by Saulos of Tarsos who's also known as Paul the Apostle and can be found in 1 Corinthians (13:2).

Thanks for your help. First I was wondering what you could have meant by 'books of fiction'. But now I have to say, you've already unraveled it. :)

Of course, it is from the Book . The Bible.
Now I want to mention that Paul the Apostle was also a great poet.
 Thank you. Your turn.

I've found that when you want to know the truth about someone that someone is probably the last person you should ask.

I cannot name the person who said that, brcause I think it is an old wisdom, like:
"As you make your bed so you must lie on it"
" If you are searching for that one person that will change your life take a look into the mirror."
So, I would say: It is an old saying
