Open Friday: Gygaxian Prose

Today marks the third anniversary of Gary Gygax's death. Earlier in the year, I'd decided that, after three years, it was time to cease commemorating this date and instead remember Gary on his birthday, as I do with authors like Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft. However, since March 4th fell on a Friday this year, I thought it worthwhile to make today's Open Friday Gygax-related.

So, I'd like everyone to post a favorite passages written by Gary in the comments below. I myself don't have a single favorite, but one that immediately comes to mind is the following from the Players Handbook:
Assassins are evil in alignment (perforce, as the killing of humans and other intelligent life forms for the purpose of profit is basically held to be the antithesis of weal).
What comes to your mind when you think of classic examples of Gygaxian prose?
