[axncbwof] Three famous quotes

Three examples of a quote, or its source work, having its 15 minutes of fame twice in popular culture, with few people knowing the original.

"Never get involved in a land war in Asia." Original quote Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery (Viscount Alamein) in a speech in the House of Lords on 30 May 1962: "Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war is: 'Do not march on Moscow.' ... Rule 2 is: 'Do not go fighting with your land armies in China.'". Made famous by The Princess Bride. Became relevant again as the US goes to war with Iraq (and we again discover the quote is right).

"I hate you with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns." Original quote Bhagavad Gita, "If the radiance of a thousand suns Were to burst at once into the sky That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one... I am become Death, The shatterer of Worlds." Then J. Robert Oppenheimer after observing the first atomic bomb: "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds." Then in Cheers, Diane to Sam, the quote above.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold. " Original quote "La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid" in the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) (1782) by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. A movie with Uma Thurman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Keanu Reeves, and again later adapted into the infamous movie Cruel Intentions. (Though the quote was not present in either of the movie adaptations.) Most recently made famous as a "Klingon Proverb" in the movie Kill Bill.
