Is it possible to add to the list of quotations displayed on exit?

If so I would like to add these two, if they can be verified as genuine.

"Resolution will supply the want of numbers, but numbers will never supply the want of resolution." Gustavus Adolphus.

"In war, the only certainty is uncertainty." Karl von Steinmetz.

Add to - no, but you can edit them to suit your fancy.

Hey, on a similar note, since this is brought up, is it possible to have the game *not* display the quote and just exit quickly?

It must last for at no more than two seconds but sometimes it sure feels like forever http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Nope - it needs time to clear down a few COM objects (mainly to do with sound system), and the quotations are simply there to provide something interesting while those are closed down by the shut-down housekeeping.
