I was flipping through my copy of _Gilgamesh_ which i had read last
semester for an English course, looking for good sig quotes, and one that
i found was "sleep, like a fog, blew over him."  said by Utanapishtim
about Gilgamesh.  It's also good for an instant-message program "away
message" for if i ever go to sleep and leave my computer on :-) .
So the first time i used it as a sig, i added something like "
(hmm...does that remind anyone else of Sally's "summer, like a white
sword, hangs over the land"?) " after it.
Flipping through another book around the same time, i found another good
sig quote...

 "You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment
  that you touch perfect speed.  And that isn't flying a thousand
  miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light.
  Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have
  limits.  Perfect speed, my son, is being there."
