I was thinking about something I saw awhile back in a different forum. I saw a quote in someone's signature and I was just wondering is this from a book or anything because it sounds familiar.

"I am Nation, for we are many."

Mark, Chapter 5 - The healing of a demon-possessed man

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him,
7 and cried with a loud voice, and said, "What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure Thee by God that Thou torment me not!"
8 For He had said unto him, "Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit."
9 And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

This may be where you've heard it. It's a fairly famous quote, because it's been plagiarised so much [img]smile.gif[/img] It was even in a sci-fi sitcom called Red Dwarf [img]smile.gif[/img]

I knew it was a bible quote, so i got it from here :

The closest movie I can think of is from StarTrek First Contact
It's from the Borg Queen:
"I am the beginning, the end, the one who is many."

I have to agree with Bardan here. It orginally came from a scripture passage in the Bible of a demon-possed man

Gangrell 09-07-2003 09:13 PM

Wow, I guess I better brush up on the bible sometime then. Thanks guys.

Well, you suspected it was from a book, and you were right [img]smile.gif[/img]

Gangrell 09-07-2003 10:49 PM

But you would think from all books I would know it was from the Bible [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]
