Memes like that, as good as the quote is, bother me.
Adama is a fictional character.
Edward James Olmos is the actor who said the words, but Ronald Moore the writer of Battlestar is the real man who wrote those words you admire.
Do we lose something viral by quoting the famous science fiction TV writer instead of the actor or fictional character?
Lets give credit where it's due.
