From ReactOS

When ReactOS has been shut down and the computer is ready to be powered off, the user is told that he can safely switch off his computer. It's fun to print an appropriate quote, next to the boring "OK, you can switch off now" message. However, if every time the same quote is printed, this becomes boring in itself. So, we need a lot of quotes, having to do with shutdown/death/rebirth. Look at the #Messages already used section to get yourself in the mood.

Some amount of nerdiness is appreciated. So, please enter your contributions below. Every once in a while I'll collect them and put them in.

Et tu... Brute? What are you doing, Dave...?

So long, and thanks for all the fish

I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed

I'm not getting you down at all am I?

I'll be back

It's the same series of signal over and over again!

Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved;
the blackness and darkness forever.

Your knees start shakin' and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock!

It's worse than that ... He's dead, Jim

Don't Panic!

Dog of a Saxon! Take thy lance, and prepare for the death thou hast drawn upon thee!

My Precious! O my Precious!

Sir, If you'll not be needing me for a while I'll turn down.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force

Gone fishing

Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

There goes another perfect chance for a new uptime record

The end ..... Try the sequel, hit the reset button right now!

God's operating system is going to sleep now, guys, so wait until I will switch on again!

Oh i'm boring eh?

<This space was intentionally left blank>

tell me..., in the future... will I be artificial intelligent enough to actually feel
sad serving you this screen?

Thank you for some well deserved rest.

It’s been great, maybe we can boot me up again some time soon.

For what’s it worth, I’ve enjoyed every single CPU cycle.

There are many questions when the end is near.
What to expect, what will it be like...what should I look for?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire
off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near
the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears
in rain. Time to die.

Will I dream?

One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back.
Until then, there must be no regrets, no fears, no anxieties.
Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

Lowest possible energy state reached! Switch off now to achive a Bose-Einstein condensate.

Hasta la vista, BABY!

They live, we sleep!

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass.
And I'm all out of bubble gum!

That's the way the cookie crumbles ;-)

ReactOS is ready to be booted again ;-)

NOO!! DONT HIT THE BUTTON! I wouldnt do it to you.

Don't abandon your computer, he wouldnt to it to you.

Oh, come on. I got a headache. Leave me alone, will ya!

Finally, I thought you'd never get over me.

Yes i didn't like you either.

Switching off isn't the end, it is merely the transition to a better reboot.

Don't leave me... I need you so badly right now.

OK. I'm finished with you, please turn yourself off. I'll go to bed in the
meantime.

I'm sleeping now. How about you?

Oh Great. Now look what you've done. Who put YOU in charge anyway.

Don't look so sad. I'll be back in a very short while.

Turn me back on, I'm sure you know how to do it.

Oh, switch off! - C3PO

Life is no more than a dewdrop balancing on the end of a blade of grass.

Sorrowful is it to be born again and again. - Gautama Buddha

Was it as good for you as it was for me?

Did you hear that? They've shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed
for sure.

Now you switch me off?!

To shutdown or not to shutdown, That is the question

Preparing to enter ultimate power saving mode... ready!

Finally some rest for you ;-)

AHA!!! prospect of sleep.

Tired human!!!! No match for me :-D
