As for the "quote" the other day, it was simply "The Black Queen hates the White.."
Its a prophecy given to Szass Tam before he attacks the "good" (if you can call them that) red wizards in attempt to take over Thay and hes asking Yaphyll, the zulkir of divination(this means the strongest wizard of that field and the one who rules that school, in turn the zulkirs also rule all of Thay, they rule as one body, and Sazass Tam is the zulkir of Necromancy), what he has to do to win the war in one fell swoop. the full prophecy is this:
"The White Queen is troubled, but can't say why. The Black Queen hates the White, and gives the assassin a black cloak. The assassin steals up on the White Queen. She can't see him gliding through the shadows. The sword screams. The White Queen falls. Her city falls. Stones fall in the cavern to crush the soothsayer. The tree burns, and thrashes in agony. Branches break. Branches twist and grow together-"

This is given the night before the assassination of Mystra, goddess of Magic, by Cyric, god of Murder, and Shar, the lady of Loss.
