Jag gillar citaten i Core Rulebook och har fått några av dem (som Seneca en och den från Count of Monte Cristo ). Andra är dock svårare att spåra eller felaktigt tillskrivas (som Anacharsis). Min favorit av citaten är den som tillskrivs Jose Gnecco Laborde, som jag tror, efter en del Google-fu, var en spansk författare. Jag tror att en del av mina problem med att autentisera citaten är att de har översatts från sina ursprungliga språk till spanska då till engelska.
Citat från boken presenteras nedan, men jag förstår att det är lite mycket att fråga från en Q & A-sida till källor alla dessa. En bekräftelse från fall till fall eller avslag på varje citats äkthet kan räknas som ett svar, men jag är mer intresserad av svaren på frågorna ovan.
