Which quote's that?



"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

^ Is the one that comes to mind? Or maybe

"[...] I'm getting too old for this sort of thing."

or

"An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age."

Actually now that I think about it, I really don't know what the parent was referring to.


I was thinking "Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time."

It fits. With both Murdock and Naur, both of them were names I was familiar with but hadn't heard anything about for quite a while... until I heard they both died.


mattlutze's first one. The fact that passing away spread his influence even more. Even though the 'name I havent heard in a long time' could also fit.
