"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

The actual line came from: "Let's tell them the truth, that there are no gains without pains,..."
No Pain, No Gain was coined and used first by a 50s fitness expertJ ack LaLanne, because the other line was far to long to say between push ups.
The whole speech isn't bad, btw. It's definitely from a different time.
I'm thinking of creating an alias for myself and I want to be sure no one can easily figure it out. Should I go with Bed Zrightlander or Dez Rightlanber?

How to Bring to an End a Chronic Hysteresis
* * *
[Tardis]
DOCTOR: He'd better not go in the sea in future. He's likely to get into deep water, you know.
ROMANA: It was hardly his fault that someone neglected to sea-proof him.
DOCTOR: Quite. Can you remember where I left his manual?
ROMANA: Yes, of course.
(On the floor under the coat stand.)
ROMANA: Oh, I hope he's going to be all right. We're going to need him on Tigella.
DOCTOR: Why? They're not hostile.
ROMANA: The plants are. Lush, aggressive vegetation.
DOCTOR: You mustn't believe everything you read in books.
ROMANA: It says in the history books that it was the lush, aggressive vegetation that forced the Tigellans to retreat beneath the surface. You must have seen it last time you were there.
DOCTOR: It was reasonably friendly to me. Mind you, it was a long time ago.
(Romana finds the page in the manual.)
ROMANA: Post repair test questions.
(The Doctor takes the book from her.)
DOCTOR: Ahem. Post repair test questions. K9, can you hear me?
K9: Affirmative, (pause) mistress.
DOCTOR: That's a promising start.
[Tardis]
DOCTOR: Bit of a nuisance if we have to reprogramme all his constants.
ROMANA: I'm more worried about the power depletion. At this rate he's going to need recharging every two hours.
DOCTOR: That's not a problem. I happen to be an expert in power sources.
ROMANA: Tigella won't take long, then.
DOCTOR: No, no, no. A quick flight, a quick service.
ROMANA: What is the energy process, baryon multiplication?
DOCTOR: Erm, er, yes. Yes, something like that. They didn't actually let me see it last time. Religious objections.
ROMANA: Where did you put the magnetic tweezers?
DOCTOR: In a cave. A sort of shrine.
ROMANA: Where?
DOCTOR: In Tigella. What?
ROMANA: Magnetic tweezers?
DOCTOR: Oh.
ROMANA: Thanks. I think I've almost done it.
DOCTOR: Mind you, it's hardly surprising they're in awe of the thing. After all, their whole way of life depends on it.
(Fizz, crackle.)
ROMANA: Oh blast, here we go again.
(The Doctor trips over his own feet. Romana giggles.)
DOCTOR: What's the matter?
ROMANA: Well, now his probe circuit's jammed.
DOCTOR: Well, that's easy. Just waggle his tail.
ROMANA: All right. We've tried everything else.
(K9's ears burst into life.)
K9: Thank you, mistress. Repairs complete.
DOCTOR: Well done, Romana. Well done. You're becoming very accomplished at all this.
ROMANA: Becoming? I was fully qualified when I arrived.
DOCTOR: (sotto from across the room) K9, what do you know about the Prion planetary system?
K9: The only viable civilisation was Zolfa-Thura. They destroyed themselves in global war. Planet now featureless desert.
ROMANA: Good boy, K9.
DOCTOR: So now Tigella's all that's left.
K9: Affirmative.
(Jump, fizz, crackle.)
ROMANA: Oh blast, here we go again.
(The Doctor trips over his own feet. Romana giggles.)
DOCTOR: What's the matter?
ROMANA: Well, now his probe circuit's jammed.
DOCTOR: Well, that's easy. Just waggle his tail.
ROMANA: All right. We've tried everything else.
(K9's ears burst into life.)
K9: Thank you, mistress. Repairs complete.
(The Doctor and Romana stare at each other.)
[Tardis]
(Fizz, crackle.)
ROMANA: Oh blast, here we go again.
(The Doctor trips over his own feet. Romana giggles.)
DOCTOR: What's the matter?
ROMANA: Well, now his probe circuit's jammed.
DOCTOR: Well, that's easy. Just waggle his tail.
ROMANA: All right. We've tried everything else.
(K9's ears burst into life.)
K9: Thank you, mistress. Repairs complete.
DOCTOR: That's the third time. What's happening?
ROMANA: The Tardis appears to be functioning normally.
DOCTOR: Yes. Then what? Repeated time cycles? Oh, no. It couldn't be a chronic hysteresis, could it?
ROMANA: Chronic hysteresis! (gulp) I hope not. If it is, we'll be stuck here forever.
DOCTOR: Yes.
(Fizz, crackle.)
ROMANA: Oh blast, here we go again.
(The Doctor trips over his own feet. Romana giggles.)
[Tardis]
DOCTOR: It's no good. Every time we try to
(Fizz, crackle.)
ROMANA: Oh blast, here we go again.
(The Doctor trips over his own feet. Romana giggles.)
DOCTOR: What's the matter?
ROMANA: Well, now his probe circuit's jammed.
DOCTOR: Well, that's easy. Just waggle his tail.
ROMANA: All right. We've tried everything else.
(K9's ears burst into life.)
K9: Thank you, mistress. Repairs complete.
(Then they are back at the console again.)
ROMANA: What can we try now? K9, is there any way out of a chronic hysteresis?
K9: Negative, mistress. No known technological procedure.
DOCTOR: We're still looking.
ROMANA: What if we stop the time rotor?
DOCTOR: Yes. No. That's a terrible idea.
ROMANA: I'm only trying to help.
DOCTOR: There's no known technological procedure. I'm sorry to whisper. There's no known technological procedure. There's no known technological procedure.
(Fizz, crackle.)
ROMANA: Oh blast, here we go again.
(The Doctor trips over his own feet. Romana giggles.)

ROMANA: All right. We've tried everything else.
(K9's ears burst into life.)
K9: Thank you, mistress. Repairs complete.
ROMANA: We can't get out of it. We've tried everything.
DOCTOR: Yes. That's what you said when you were repairing K9. You'd tried everything. Tried everything. We've tried everything. Of course!
ROMANA: What?
DOCTOR: Can you remember the rest of what you said?
ROMANA: I should think so, we've been through it enough times.
DOCTOR: K9?
K9: Master?
DOCTOR: Then that's how we'll do it. Throw it out of phase.
ROMANA: You mean go through the motions deliberately?
DOCTOR: Yes, yes, yes, before the cycle comes back again.
ROMANA: Well, you were over there.
DOCTOR: What?
ROMANA: Over there.
DOCTOR: Yes, yes, of course. Good. Off you go, then.
ROMANA: Oh blast here we go again.
(The Doctor trips.)
DOCTOR: What's the matter?
ROMANA: Now his probe circuit's jammed.
(But the Doctor misses his cue. Romana gestures frantically at K9's tail.)
DOCTOR: Ah. That's easy. Just waggle his tail.
ROMANA: All right. We've tried everything else.
(The Tardis shimmers.)
K9: Thank you, mistress. (echoes) Repairs complete.
(The shimmering stops.)
ROMANA: Phase cancellation. We've done it!
DOCTOR: Well done. You know, for one awful moment I thought you'd forgotten your lines.

No it isn't. It's just contradiction.
