Is there a website / file with all the texts contained in demos?
category: offtopic [glöplog]
Sometimes in demos there are philosophy and wisdom quotes either from well known authors or from hard / long working coders (analysing all the time produces philosophers in the coder scene), and I'm looking for getting access to that without watching tons of demos to find out.
ex:
-in a DOS 4K in 1997, there was a quote like this "Never bow to strange lights" as the conclusion of the demo.
For everybody it means nothing, but for a coder with loads of experience it means a lot. However impossible to find back this demo and thus the context.
-in a 64 K Amiga 500 Demo from Complex with a Möbius strip / band in vector, there is this quote: "I know what I know, and I know ... because we are not of the same nature. Complex".
Basically the coder said that he knows everything is mathematics and that he is thinking all the time whereas most people don't and thus he is not of the same nature as the masses (which are zombies by the way).
This wisdom worth a lot in term of enlightenment and is fun to decipher for intellectuals. And I would be very grateful to anybody pointing me to a great resource containing that kind of scene wisdom (articles about physics / maths in old diskmags and C64 diskmags are great too on this regard).
Please help.

The answer is NO.
Make a website about it :D
Make one. It is a good idea.
