Talk:Simon Conway Morris

Article format
Thank you Aphaia for the recent changes you have made to this article. I am sorry to say that I consider them to be a disaster.

If you have modified the article so as to conform to Wikiquote guidelines, then quite simply those guidelines need to change. There is, in my view, a decisive advantage to be had in organising quotations in a topical fashion, rather than in the utterly unimaginative format which we see here. Also, sourcing the quotations with sub bullet points is, I feel, very cumbersome and obtrusive.

I would be quite happy to work on some unobtrusive footnote references to the various quotations, and on a proper introduction which I see another user has now started, but in the meantime I am afraid that I am going to revert the recent changes which I consider to be nothing less than vandalism in the broad sense of the term.

 * Though they have been allowed to remain on some pages, often merely because of the effort it would take to sort them out, most of the regular editors at Wikiquote avoid creating "topical" sections on pages for people, and promote a chronological presentation of quotes, with extensive sections for works also arranged chronologically below them. "Topical" presentations, while not absolutely forbidden as yet, can be very problematic in many ways, and their creation has come to be increasingly discouraged.

 * Aphaia may have inadvertently removed some material in her edit, but the general preference for a non-arbitrary chronological organization rather than editor-chosen subject organization is one that has become increasingly clear here. ~ Kalki 13:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks Kalki. I'm well aware that there are certain issues with a topical format, but then there's a cost to just about everything in life. If it's not "absolutely forbidden," then may I suggest that we leave it this way for the time being. Laurence Boyce 13:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I would prefer to begin to "stem the tide" of this tendency, because it has become a prominent problem on many pages. Though many quotes might clearly belong to some editor-created category on a page, they could also often belong to many others, and the problem of duplication of the same material on a single page becomes harder to prevent. The plethora of possible classification schemes that editors could come up with would become increasingly burdensome if regular editors here did not take some measures to discourage, limit, and if possible remove them.

 * Debates over what would be the best caption for images used can be held on the talk pages of articles, and while I do not absolutely object to your choice of caption to head the page, I would greatly prefer some definite citations be found for it, and I actually do prefer the one I added, which might be a bit less striking, but is ultimately a bit more representative of some of the author's major ideas.

 * I also wish to note that as Wikiquote is a collection of quotations, footnotes make the identification of sources more tedious for both the reader and the editor and have generally been avoided, as the quotes are not arranged within a composition where footnotes are convenient for preserving narrative flow. There are many issues at Wikiquote that are not absolutely settled, but a general preference for chronological and sequential arrangement of quotes with citations of sources directly below them, or within a section heading for a particular work from which they have been taken, remains an enduring one. ~ Kalki 13:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Look, I know there are issues, but why create a problem with this article when there was none in the first place? I know that I don't "own" any article on Wikimedia, but I do not believe that there would have been an article on Conway Morris at all, if I had not created one. It arose simply because I had been studying him for a short while. Absolutely nobody has said that they would like to add further quotations, but that the categorisation is impeding them in some way. But if they did, then we could discuss it. Yes, I can see the potential problem, but in my view the benefit still clearly outweighs the cost. With my structure, which sought to engage the reader from the outset, I think there is a real chance that people might actually read the whole thing through, as well as using the article as a source of reference.

 * By the way, I'm not that fussed about the picture caption or the introductory paragraph. My original heading of "awkward palaeobiologist proved wrong on multiple counts continues to spin out ideas even others find interesting," was actually Conway Morris describing himself in Nature magazine. The "fuck" quote has been attributed to Conway Morris in a number of sources, but it could quite easily be apocryphal. Next time I meet him, maybe I'll ask him if he really said it!

 * Laurence Boyce 15:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Why were the sources deleted? How do you imagine that the article can be used as a "source of reference" when none of the quotes are now sourced?  - InvisibleSun 16:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The sources were always there in the markup. Once again, this may not be standard procedure, but the sources have not been lost. I am more than willing to create footnote references if that is deemed acceptable. Laurence Boyce 17:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The sources should be explicitly visible on the page, not simply in markup - and not in footnotes. The sourcing information also does not appear to be complete, simply listing titles of works and pages, without the dates and more information about the work (which Kalki's version had). I actually support Kalki's version of the page, sorted by work and echo many of the argumenst made above. I think we should stick to the accepted methods and templates that are already in use, and not move to pages divided by topic (which, as has been stated, can be subject to interpretation. I would prefer that we revert to the earlier version that Kalki created. ~ UDScott 17:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Just to be clear, I think that the user Aphaia made most of the changes, and then Kalki made some further modifications. Anyway all I can say, once again, is that I disagree. I think that inline references are cumbersome, and that the possibility of a topical structure is what could really set Wikiquote apart from standard quotation dictionaries. Laurence Boyce 17:42, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I realize that you disagree, but I would suggest that the proper way to change what had already been established is not to change one article and continue to revert proper editing by others to match the templates here, but rather to raise the subject on Village pump or on the template's Talk page as a discussion or suggestion. The formatting of articles here should be decided through input from users and through discussion, not just one person deciding that the way they have edited an article looks better than others. That could potentially lead to a myriad of differently formatted articles. We don't want to stifle creativity, but there are proper ways to enact change, and I don't believe that your edits reflect this. ~ UDScott 18:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Well I'm all for talk page discussion, but the user Aphaia, who sparked all this off, has yet to put in an appearance. As far as I'm concerned, any substantial changes to any article should be accompanied by talk. That's what bugs me here. As far as I know, not one new quote was added to the article this morning. There was no problem to speak of, except that the article offended somebody's attachment to the rulebook. Laurence Boyce 19:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not just talking about this one page. I'm talking about what it appears you wish to happen, which is a change to the template for people articles on Wikiquote. Because we expect all people articles to adhere to the established template. If you feel this template is not the best way to present a person's quotes, rather than just using one of your own design for a given person, the best way is to suggest changes to the template at either Village Pump or on the template's talk page. That's what I meant - not just in reference to this one page. ~ UDScott 20:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I know what you mean, but the facts are that I have produced all of three articles for Wikiquote, having spent substantial hours of work on each one. I'm hardly going to sweep like a virus through all the articles overnight. If you wish to treat my efforts with careless officiousness then that is your right, but counterproductive is the word that springs to mind. Laurence Boyce 20:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I think that fact that I am taking the time to have this discussion with you demonstrates that I am not trying to treat your efforts with "careless officiousness." I am trying to convince you to work through the proper channels rather than just treat the many hours of work that each of the people that have talked to you about this spend each and every day on this site. We have worked tirelessly to keep this project under some semblance of organization so that it is not just another chaotic (and often inaccurate) quote site. Please appreciate that I am genuinely trying to help in this case. Bottom line is that all I am advocating is for you to bring any ideas for change to the community at large for discussion (the way that wikis are supposed to work) rather than just making a decision on your own about how an article should look - and then carelessly reverting the changes that an administrator or two made to bring the page in line with established practice. I don't think that is asking too much. ~ UDScott 21:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * OK, fair enough, but just at the moment I don't have the time to engage with the village idiot pump. I don't do it on Wikipedia either; I just engage on talk pages. And I didn't carelessly revert; I felt and still feel that I was well within my rights to revert, and I provided my reasons. But obviously now that we've had all this discussion, I'm not going to perform another peremptory revert but I think that losing the present structure would be a crying shame. As I think you may have gathered! The reason there is any article here at all is that I cared enough to produce one. Laurence Boyce 21:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

First thank you to Laurence Boyce for bringing it up on the talk. Also thank you for good explanation of our established practice, Kalki and UDScott. I am sorry to hear Laurence Boyce calling "Village pump" wrongly, in my opinion striking is no good claim to "be civil". I hope Laurence Boyce behave nicely and respect both other editors and established rules and customs. To call the community discussion "stupid" is an offence to the community in my opinion. I would like you, Laurence Boyce, to cancel your word for civility.

Thematic sections have been, while not strongly banned, considered problematic on this project. Consensus says it causes easily to break the NPOV line, required for all Wikimedia project. I appreciate all the effort Laurence Boyce to create this article and expand, but it is not a reason he consider himself having a right to apply his POV for this article. Through several discussions, we Wikiquote community has reached chronological or arphabetical order are better to keep NPOV norm than thematic organization. I admit your organization looks fancy, but it is not a good reason to take a risk to allow your POV control this article forever. I would like you to remind you once agreed your edits would be possibly edited mercilessly later so you have no good reason to call mhy edits vandalism.

And also I would like you, Laurence Boyce to be aware of that no one support your favorite organization. Kalki and USScott support the custom, not your way. I don't say my edit was perfect, but it was at least nearer to the community consensus than your way. And I think it is not a good idea to call "vandalism" an edit following the established custom and consensus.

If you think your POV need to be kept, you are better to go to the other website and there construct your own collections of quotations. --Aphaia 22:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks Aphaia. I think I'm going to have to leave you all to it. All of this reminds of an argument I had last year on Wikipedia. You'll get your way no doubt, and succeed in fucking over modifying the article, but the problem with your unreadable version is . . . just that. Few will actually bother to read it! Laurence Boyce 23:16, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The creation of the article is appreciated, and I will attempt to build upon the structure created by Aphaia within the next week or so, but all those who have commented seem to be in agreement that your original structure was not satisfactory. One must understand that on most wikis one must be respectful of the fact that there can be many other views at work, and what one considers to be the best state of an article will not always persist. And of course on a Wikimedia wiki one also must be responsive to the fundamental requirements of the Wikimedia Foundation, and participate in accord with their policies and practices which always have involved a respect for decisions made by consensus. ~ Kalki 18:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Sure, I'm outnumbered, and I'm backing down. Bye everyone! Laurence Boyce 19:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I think the last one may be possibly from the HPATDH, not HPATOOTP. I think it was one Potterwatch in that book.

You're right. I deleted it.

Enter the Dragon

Enter the Dragon (also known as The Deadly Three), originally titled Blood and Steel is a 1973 Warner Brothers and Concord Production Inc., martial arts film starring martial artist Bruce Lee, John Saxon and Jim Kelly. It is the last completed film Bruce Lee appeared in before his death. He died six days before the movie was first released.

Lee

 * A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself. (to his teacher)
 * What was that? An exhibition? We need emotional content. Now try again! (to his student Lahn)
 * I said emotional content. Not anger! Now try again! With me! (to his student Lahn)

 * Don't think, feel! It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory. Do you understand? (to his student Lahn).
 * Never take your eyes off your opponent, even when you bow. (to his student Lahn).
 * My style? You can call it "the art of fighting without fighting". (to Parsons)
 * You have offended my family, and you have offended the Shaolin Temple. (to Han before starting the fight)
 * Boards... don't hit back. (to O'Hara before starting the fight)

Roper

 * I admire your judgement. Nobody's more loyal than daddy's little girl. (to Han after being attacked by Han's female guards)

Williams

 * I don't waste my time with it, when it comes, I won't even notice; I'll be too busy looking good. (to Han)
 * I was outside, but I wasn't the only one. (to Han)
 * Mr. Han, suddenly, I'd like to leave your island. (to Han)
 * Bullshit, mister Han-Man! (to Han)
 * Been practicing huh? (to Han)
 * Man, you've come right out of a comic book! (to Han)

Han

 * Gentlemen, welcome, you honor our Island, I look forward to a tournament of truly epic proportions, we are unique Gentlemen, in that we create ourselves, through long years of rigorous training, sacrifice, denial, pain, we forge our bodies in the fire of our will, but tonight let us celebrate. Gentlemen, you have our gratitude! (speech at the party previous to tournament)
 * Very few people can be totally ruthless. It isn't easy. It takes more strength than you might believe! (to Roper)
 * There is a point that you will not go beyond. (to Roper)
 * You fought well yesterday, your style is unorthodox. (to Williams)
 * It isn't the art but combat that you enjoy? (to Williams)
 * We are all ready to win, as we are born knowing only life, it is defeat you must prepare for.(to Williams)
 * What were you looking when you attacked my guards? (to Williams)
 * You were the man outside the palace? (to Williams)
 * You will tell me who else! (to Williams)

Lyrics
枉有一片真愛心　招惹一寸寸愁恨 勸你不必怨天怨命運　要承認太天真

＊你有權利　他有戰令　許多爭鬥怎麼一再湧現 有權亦冇權問　有誰沒有國家　但世上有暴君

＃史記不要君去寫　通鑒不要我來問 何妨高山舞劍度日　赤松下過一生

重唱　＊,＃

更無俗氣可近

Joyce Carol Oates

Joyce Carol Oates (born June 16, 1938) is an American author who has published 58 novels, plays and novellas, as well as volumes of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction. Oates taught at Princeton University from 1978 to 2014 and is the Roger S. Berlind '52 Professor Emerita in the Humanities with the Program in Creative Writing. She is a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley where she teaches short fiction.

Quotes

 * Nothing is accidental in the universe — this is one of my Laws of Physics — except the entire universe itself, which is Pure Accident, pure divinity. So it cannot be an accident that I think of you so constantly.
 * "The Summing Up: Meredith Dawe," Do What You Will (1970)

 * The worst cynicism: a belief in luck.
 * Do What You Will (1970), pt. 2, ch. 15

 * Old women snore violently. They are like bodies into which bizarre animals have crept at night; the animals are vicious, bawdy, noisy. How they snore! There is no shame to their snoring. Old women turn into old men.
 * "What Is the Connection Between Men and Women?" Mademoiselle (February 1970)

 * It is not her body that he wants but it is only through her body that he can take possession of another human being, so he must labor upon her body, he must enter her body, to make his claim.
 * "In the Founders’ Room," Unholy Loves (1979)

 * If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework — you can still be writing, because you have that space.
 * The New York Times (27 July 1980)

 * When people say there is too much violence in [my books], what they are saying is there is too much reality in life.
 * The New York Times (27 July 1980)

 * Our enemy is by tradition our savior, in preventing us from superficiality.
 * As quoted in "Master Race," Partisan Review 50th Anniversary Edition (1985), edited by William Phillips

 * When poets — write about food it is usually celebratory. Food as the thing-in-itself, but also the thoughtful preparation of meals, the serving of meals, meals communally shared: a sense of the sacred in the profane.
 * "Writers’ Hunger: Food as Metaphor," The New York Times (19 August 1986)

 * If food is poetry, is not poetry also food?
 * "Writers’ Hunger: Food as Metaphor," The New York Times (19 August 1986)

 * The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it! — that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms — nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
 * You Must Remember This (1987), pt. 1, ch. 13

 * Prose — it might be speculated — is discourse; poetry ellipsis. Prose is spoken aloud; poetry overheard. The one is presumably articulate and social, a shared language, the voice of "communication"; the other is private, allusive, teasing, sly, idiosyncratic as the spider’s delicate web, a kind of witchcraft unfathomable to ordinary minds.
 * "'Soul at the White Heat': The Romance of Emily Dickinson’s Poetry," (Woman) Writer: Occasions and Opportunities (1988)

 * When you’re 50 you start thinking about things you haven’t thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity — but actually it’s about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.
 * Interview in The Guardian (18 August 1989)

 * Homo sapiens is the species that invents symbols in which to invest passion and authority, then forgets that symbols are inventions.
 * "The Calendar's New Clothes," The New York Times (30 December 1999)

 * Constant interruptions are the destruction of imagination.

On Boxing (1987)

 * I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing — for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.

 * Boxing is about being hit rather more than it is about hitting, just as it is about feeling pain, if not devastating psychological paralysis, more than it is about winning.

 * Boxing is a celebration of the lost religion of masculinity all the more trenchant for its being lost.

 * The spectacle of human beings fighting each other for whatever reason, including, at certain well-publicized times, staggering sums of money, is enormously disturbing because it violates a taboo of our civilization. Many men and women, however they steel themselves, cannot watch a boxing match because they cannot allow themselves to see what it is they are seeing. One thinks helplessly, This can’t be happening, even as, and usually quite routinely, it is happening. In this way boxing as a public spectacle is akin to pornography: in each case the spectator is made a voyeur, distanced, yet presumably intimately involved, in an event that is not supposed to happening as it is happening. The pornographic "drama," though as fraudulent as professional wrestling, makes a claim for being about something absolutely serious, if not humanly profound: it is not so much about itself as about the violation of a taboo. That the taboo is spiritual rather than physical, or sexual — that our most valuable human experience, love, is being is being desecrated, parodied, mocked — is surely at the core of our culture’s fascination with pornography.

 * In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women... The psychologist Erik Erikson discovered that, while little girls playing with blocks generally create pleasant interior spaces and attractive entrances, little boys are inclined to pile up the blocks as high as they can and then watch them fall down: "the contemplation of ruins," Erikson observes, "is a masculine specialty."

 * Boxing has become America’s tragic theater.

 * To be knocked out doesn’t mean what it seems. A boxer does not have to get up.

 * [The] third man in the ring makes boxing possible.
 * On the introduction of referees in the late 19th century

 * Love commingled with hate is more powerful than love. Or hate.

Tavis Smiley interview (2005)

 * Tavis Smiley interview, PBS (28 June 2005)

 * Any number of definitions help to determine who we are. It doesn't hurt to be a woman writer, an American woman writer, American woman writer of the 21st century. I think all these descriptions of us — and they're descriptions and adjectives that pertain to you — none of them diminish you, really. I think that maybe there's a kind of deepening or expansion the more identifications you have.

 * The written word, obviously, is very inward, and when we're reading, we're thinking. It's a sort of spiritual, meditative activity. When we're looking at visual objects, I think our eyes are obviously directed outward, so there's not as much reflective time. And it's the reflectiveness and the spiritual inwardness about reading that appeals to me.

Address at Mount Holyoke College (2006)

 * Address to graduating class, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts (28 May 2006)

 * It's one of those secrets that's embarrassing to acknowledge, but we do love our students.

 * Very few writers of distinction in fact were outstanding as undergraduates.

 * There is the expectation that a younger generation has the opportunity to redeem the crimes and failings of their elders and would have the strength and idealism to do so.

 * At a time when politics deals in distortions and half truths, truth is to be found in the liberal arts. There's something afoot in this country and you are very much a part of it.

Joyce Carol Oates interviews herself (2013)

 * "Joyce Carol Oates interviews herself" in The Washington Post (13 September 2013)

 * We all have numerous identities that shift with circumstances. The writing self is likely to be a highly private, conjured sort of being — you would not find it in a grocery store.

 * If I’m required to identify myself on a form, I write “teacher.” I’ve been a teacher almost as long as I’ve been writing. [Pause.] I think of myself less as a writer than as a person who writes — or tries to. Each morning is a kind of obstacle course in which the obstacles seem to have all the advantage.

 * Any kind of creative activity is likely to be stressful. The more anxiety, the more you feel that you are headed in the right direction. Easiness, relaxation, comfort — these are not conditions that usually accompany serious work.

 * The writer is a “somewhat mystical” — or do I mean “mythical”? — person.

 * Writers and artists never pay attention to advice given by their elders, quite rightly. The only worthwhile advice is the most general: Keep trying, don’t give up, don’t be discouraged, don’t pay attention to detractors. Everyone knows this.

 * My theory is that literature is essential to society in the way that dreams are essential to our lives. We can’t live without dreaming — as we can’t live without sleep. We are “conscious” beings for only a limited period of time, then we sink back into sleep — the “unconscious.” It is nourishing, in ways we can’t fully understand.

 * I think that art is the commemoration of life in its variety. The novel, for instance, is “historic” in its embodiment in a specific place and time and its suggestion that there is meaning to our actions. Without the stillness, thoughtfulness and depths of art, and without the ceaseless moral rigors of art, we would have no shared culture — no collective memory. As it is, in contemporary societies, where so much concentration is focused on social media, insatiable in its myriad, fleeting interests, the “stillness and thoughtfulness” of a more permanent art feels threatened.

Thanks for coming to Wikiquote. However, I'm not sure that this page is suitable. A theme page is normally supposed to be about a single concept, about which there are multiple aspects and comments. The page you seem to be creating looks more like a single, rather technical essay. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 21:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikiquote:Quote of the day/April 27, 2007

Though I have been trained as a soldier, and participated in many battles, there never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword. I look forward to an epoch when a court, recognized by all nations, will settle international differences. ~ Ulysses S. Grant

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Saikano. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Saikano~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Nicholas and Alexandra

Nicholas and Alexandra is a 1971 British epic historical drama film about the rule and family life of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Imperial Russia, and the eventual rise of the Soviet Union.
 * Directed by Franklin Schaffner. Written by James Goldman, based on the 1967 book by Robert K. Massie.

The man who lost an empire because he could not say no to his wife

Nicholas

 * I didn't want to come on this tercentenary tour, Pyotr Arkadyevich. But, God help me, I do love it when they stand and wave.

 * He's a good man. They always kill the good men, the ones who help the most. They killed my grandfather. He freed the serfs, you know. He helped them, so they threw a bomb. Stolypin is a good man. I can't find a match. ... Damn them all. You help them, and they kill you for it. Give them dumas, and they give you bombs. I want them paid in kind. You understand me? I want something done.

 * Our diplomats will send some angry notes, a few generals will go on exercise, and everyone will be sensible again. All over Europe, the kings and queens are sleeping safely in their beds. And that's what we are going to do.

 * All my life, my whole life, I've done what you want. I gave Mother up. You hated her, so we don't see her anymore. I gave my friends up. Do you know I haven't a single friend? I've got my family. Four girls, one sick boy, and you. I ask before I eat, sleep, or change my clothes, "Is this what Sunny wants?" And it never is. There's always more. Sweet Jesus, how much do you want of me?

 * I've often thought I should like to be a country gentleman. I've always liked to watch things grow.

 * Mama's off to England in a month or so. She says the spring was late this year but very beautiful. Lord, but it's good to be alive! The world is like a field in summer, bursting with good things. One day, when all the wars are over, someone young will lead us to the harvest. As long as there are children, anything is possible.

Alexandra

 * I've had a son. For years, I've daydreamed how I'd feel. And all that time, I never dreamed ... I'm filled with ... I don't know. It isn't joy or anything like that. It's more. It's terribly important. And I don't know why you're smiling.

 * You never see unpleasant things, you drift away. I even wonder if you hear me half the time.

 * To marry Nicky, I had to change my faith. That was a great sin, don't you think? God thinks so. He won't hear me when I pray. I've sinned and He won't listen.

 * This is the beginning of the glory of your reign. Our friend told me so. It will be the greatest page in Russian history, the story of these weeks and days. And when you go, don't worry over what you've left behind. I'm here. Lean on me, use me. I'm not wise or strong, but God will show me what to do.

 * At times, I actually like it. Mending clothes and teaching classes and quiet afternoons. I doze and daydream, and I think about my life. I don't know what I did wrong. I'd feel better if I did.

Grand Duke Nicholas

 * There's this fantastic holy fellow just arrived. You must meet him. He's a live, authentic starets straight from the fields. Cures diseases by the laying on of hands. I've seen him do it. Saw this fellow wheeled in, legs like pretzels. Then the starets – Grigori Rasputin is his name – gave him a deep look, touched him, prayed a bit. And up the pretzel popped and skipped about the room. A bit grotesquely, I admit, but you could tell he was skipping.

 * I could have won this war in time if I were only fighting on one front. But I had two enemies at my back, your Sunny and her monk. Not long ago, he wrote to me. Could he come and bless the troops? I told him if he came, I'd hang him. Should have let him come. Hung the bastard when he got here.

Rasputin

 * I knew a woman in Pokrovskoe. That's my home, a little village in Siberia. And this woman, she was so afraid of strangers that she bought herself a pinewood box and lived in it. Then, one day, her husband nailed the lid on, dug a hole, and dropped her into it. "Ivan, don't!" she cried. "But I only want to make you happy," he said. "I know, but Heaven's full of strangers. Let me out."
 * I started late to be a starets. I was twenty when this vision came. We peasants get them all the time. The Virgin comes and tells them when to sell their sheep if they want to make a profit. She told me to become a pilgrim, so I started to walk. I waited for Her to tell me when to stop, but she didn't. I walked two thousand miles, and when I got to Greece, I couldn't walk any further, so I stopped. I spent two years in a monastery, and then I walked home again. Sometimes, people say to me, "What do I need to become a starets?" And I say, "Good feet."
 * I see blood when I shut my eyes. A lot of blood. I saw blood once before, when I was in Jerusalem. And then my father died. In Kazan, there is an ivory Christ whose wounds bleed. Someone told me there's a Madonna in Kharkov that sheds real tears. Matushka, I see things. I have power. I cure the sick. Holy men kneel to me and kiss my hands. I am a vessel of the Lord. I have spoken with God. It must be so. How else can I do these things? I save souls and bring peace. God leads me. He brought me here. He speaks through me. I am the voice of God. It is His will. I have been sent to do great things.
 * [admiring a big-busted woman] So, you would like to be an opera singer? Yes, you have the chest for it.
 * You tried to kill me. You all have. You silly fools. I thought I could trust you. Silly fools. You can't even kill properly. You're too small to destroy me. Look! ... Now get up, prince. Get up! Try. Let's see you try to kill me. ... I begged Batushka not to start this war. I know who dies. You don't die. The people die. The wise old men, the generals, the ministers, the ones who say, "Do this. Go there." No mud on their boots. No bullets in their bellies. Where's your rifle, Prince? Why aren't you at the front where the blood is? I'm not a German. I come from the Russian soil, and you fools will never destroy me. Thank God Russia has sons like me and isn't at the mercy of scum like you.

Lenin

 * Of course, I agree you're free to say what you like, and you must agree I'm free to shoot you for saying it. Murder, arson, terror. I'll agree to anything that gives us power. Power! And we can't have power if we compromise. Even though it takes years, terror and power.
 * In the last ten years, I've spent three months in Russia. I'm out of fashion. No one's wearing me this year. I talk, and no one listens. I write, and no one reads.

Gapon

 * The czar is here in Petersburg to bless the troops. He's staying at the Winter Palace. Thousands of us will march there on Sunday morning. I'll go to him on the balcony and read this. [holds up a paper] "Sire, we working men and inhabitants of St. Petersburg come to you, sire, to seek for truth, justice and protection. Only you can hear our prayers. And if you do not, we shall die here on this square, before your palace."
 * He didn't come. He never came. Nicholas, the murderer. The bloody, bloody murderer.

Marie Fedorovna

 * Not even London on a Sunday is as boring as a room full of Romanovs.

 * We're an 18th-century country in a 20th-century world. We need all our strength and money to look after Russia. Don't waste it on those little yellow Buddhists or pagans or whatever they are. It's a great mistake to get involved in all these strikes and wars. You only encourage them by taking them seriously.

 * I wish your father were alive ... He knew how to be a czar. He'd have burned Vienna down, stomped on the Germans, and shot the strikers. Anything to give Russia peace. And he'd certainly have known how to deal with Rasputin.

Count Witte

 * I'm old, sir. I've seen so many wars. They all seemed so important at the time. Now, I don't even remember what they were called. Millions of dead men. I don't know why. Nobody knows.

 * None of you will be here when this war ends. Everything we've fought for will be lost. Everything they've loved will be broken. The victors will be as cursed as the defeated. The world will grow old, and men will wander about lost in the ruins and go mad. Tradition, virtue, restraint, they'll all go. I'm not mourning for myself but for the people who will come after me. They will live without hope. And all they will have will be guilt, revenge, and terror. And the world will be full of fanatics and trivial fools.

Dialogue

 * Alexandra: Does he have to be Alexis? Can't we call him something else?
 * Nicholas: Alexis was a gentle czar. Perhaps the only one.
 * Alexandra: Not counting you.

 * Count Witte: Have I Your Majesty's permission to review the facts again? If Port Arthur falls...
 * Nicholas: No fact begins with "if."
 * Count Witte: Port Arthur has been under siege for six months. It has cost us 30,000 dead. If it ... A student stopped me in the street the other day. "Excuse me, sir, but why are we at war?" "Because, my boy, we want Korea, but the Japanese would insist on fighting us for it." "Thank you, sir, but what does Russia need Korea for?" "Because, my boy, we have no ice-free port on the Pacific." "I see. In that case, sir, it isn't good enough." He's right, sir. It's not good enough at all. Imagine, sire. Imagine that you are a factory worker. You're really poor. Your belly is never full. You freeze eight months of the year. Your children have no school, no doctor. Your country taxes you and sends your sons a continent away to die on a piece of land on the Pacific. Now, sir, Japan is a third-rate power. If she defeats us, if Port Arthur falls, we shall be disgraced in the eyes of the world, and here at home, we shall have an insurrection on our hands.
 * Nicholas: My people love me, Sergei Yulyevich.
 * Count Witte: They want a constitution and the right to vote for an elected duma. They're angry, and they're serious.
 * Nicholas: Are you advising me to give my rights away?
 * Count Witte: I'm advising you to stop a hopeless war.
 * Nicholas: Is it so hopeless, Nikolasha?
 *  Grand Duke Nicholas: Well, Nicky, let me put it this way. [holds up a cigarette] Here's a bullet, a bullet made in St. Petersburg. I send it off to war. How does it get there? On a single spur of track 4,000 miles long. In the middle, no track at all. Oh, God help it; it spends three days packed on sleds. And every boot, shell or pound of tea we send. Get out now, Nicky, while there's time.
 * Nicholas: The Russia that my father gave me never lost a war. What shall I say to my son when the time comes? That I had no pride, that I was weak? I've always thought God meant me to rule. He put me here. He chose me. And whatever happens is His will. We shall fight on to victory.
 * Count Witte: There will be no victory. Only strikes and riots. You must give your people a little of what they want, sir. Not all. Just a taste.
 * Nicholas: The English have a parliament. Our British cousins gave their rights away. The Hapsburgs and the Hohenzollerns too. The Romanovs will not. What I was given, I will give my son.

 * English Journalist: Excuse me, Mr. Lenin. I'm from the Socialist Worker. Could you tell me what you think of the socialist movement in England?
 * Mme. Krupskaya: The English cut their meat wrong, their tea is terrible, and the weather was better in Siberia. At least you keep your policemen under control.

 * Petya: I want to kill somebody. They come here sometimes, the other factory workers, and they tell us that we should burn things down, make bombs. Well, I want to fight back once.
 * Gapon: All violence begets is violence. They'll beat you. There's a better way. We are going to see the czar.
 * Sonya: You know what they say, Father. "God is too high, and the czar's too far away."

 * Rasputin: All saints were sinners once. God loves sinners.
 * Alexandra: Then why is He killing my baby?
 * Rasputin: We had a man in Pokrovskoe. He didn't wash or work. He lied, stole, cheated, drank, chased all the women. He was a sinner. Why, out of all men, did the Virgin come to him?
 * Alexandra: Perhaps he lied. You said he was a liar.
 * Rasputin: No. She came. I saw her. I know all there is to know about sin. Pray with me, Matushka. God is here.

 * Nicholas: I want a good life for my people.
 * Count Witte: On your terms.
 * Nicholas: I know what will make them happy. They're children, and they need a czar. They need tradition, not this. They're the victims of agitators. A Duma would make them bewildered and discontented. And don't tell me about London and Berlin. God save us from the mess they're in.
 * Count Witte: I see. So, they talk, pray, march, plead, petition, and what do they get? Cossacks, prison, flogging, police spies! And now, after today, they will be shot! Is this God's will? Are these His methods? So, make war on your own people. How long do you think they're going to stand and let you shoot them? You ask me who's responsible! You ask!

 * Stolypin: I don't like the duma any more than you do, but I'd rather let them talk than have to deal with riots and strikes and marches. It would be better to give them more power than face that.
 * Nicholas: I am the czar. And I would never accept that.
 * Stolypin: [holding out a dossier] Police reports on Grigori Efimovitch Rasputin. Drunk half the time. Whores, generals' wives. Oh, he's generous with himself. I'll say that for him. That's his only Christian virtue. He'll sleep with anyone, and it's no secret. Everybody knows it. He came to see me, apparently with Her Majesty's blessing. He even tried to hypnotize me. Why is such a man admitted to the palace?
 * Nicholas: You know why.
 * Stolypin: Your people don't.
 * Nicholas: I'll tell them, shall I? "Citizens, your czarevitch could get a bloody nose and die from it."

 * Kokovtsov: [addressing the Duma after Nicholas orders its dissolution] This government deplores brutality and violence. But when dissent gets out of hand, when opposition ceases to be peaceful, law and order must and will be kept.
 * Kerensky: Not at this price. The Duma is not a street corner. There is no violence here, but even we are not free to speak.
 * Member of the Duma: Where is the czar?
 *  Kokovtsov: The czar is at the hunting lodge in Poland.
 * Kerensky: I don't care if he's in Scotland shooting grouse. Find him and tell him he's bringing ruin on his head. Tell him, while there's still a czar left to tell!

 * Grand Duke Nicholas: A telegram from the Kaiser. Just what we wanted. Offering to mediate between us and Austria.
 * Nicholas: I knew I could count on Willy. You see? He signed it, "Your very sincere and devoted friend and cousin, Willy."
 * Count Witte: With due respect to your cousin, sire, the Kaiser is a deceitful megalomaniac. If he is offering to help, then it is time to pray.

 * Marie Fedorovna: I came to congratulate you, Nicky.
 * Nicholas: What for?
 * Marie Fedorovna: For finding, from all Russia's countless cretins, idiots and incompetents, the men least qualified to run your government.

 * Kerensky: [addressing the Duma following Rasputin's death] One madman has been murdered and you are celebrating. There is no food, no fuel. A third of our army is still unarmed, and they are surrendering in tens of thousands. Nothing is changed. The German czarita is still running the country. The czar must stop hiding with his soldiers and come back to Petersburg. Chaos is coming to Russia, and he should be here to deal with it!

 * Nicholas: Tell me, Dr. Federov, if my son, as the future czar, would remain behind to be educated in Russia while I and my family went abroad, how long would he be likely to live?
 * Dr. Federov: Deprived of your love and care and what I refer to as "customary surroundings," it's hard to say. It's a matter of luck and chance, Your Majesty. There are no real statistics. One would hope that he could live a normal span of life, but, well, twenty would be a good age.

 * The German Counsel: We are here in Zürich and, if I understand you, you want the German government, which is at war with Russia, to take you across Germany to Sweden because you can get to Russia from there.
 * Lenin: I'm offering to stop the war.
 * The German Counsel: Oh, I didn't know you had so much authority.
 * Lenin: If there was a Bolshevik government in Russia, we'd immediately make peace with Germany. Then how many German divisions could you transfer to the Western Front?
 * The German Counsel: And now you're asking me for classified information. Do you know my government has locked up more Bolsheviks than anyone else? How can you expect us to help you make a revolution? You have no sense of proportion.
 * Lenin: All I'm interested in is power in Russia, and it's lying there in the streets waiting to be picked up. Kerensky won't last. He's still fighting the war, and the people are desperate for peace. I shall offer them peace. Then you'll see the real revolution.
 * The German Counsel: I see your jokes are very subtle. A Marxist wants to use the Kaiser, and perhaps the Kaiser can use the Marxist.

 * Kerensky: Do you realize I'm all that stands between you and the block? No munitions. No supplies. I don't know where the army stands. The treasury is bankrupt. The students riot. Workers carry arms. The Socialists want this, the Mensheviks want that. The Radicals, the Centrists, the Kadets, the Bolsheviks. I can't arrest them even if I wanted to. We have rights and laws now. You had power and no laws. I have laws and no power.
 * Nicholas: I wish I could help you.
 * Kerensky: You had your chances. I wish I had mine.

 * Nicholas: You puzzle me. You'd be happy to see us dead, and yet you help us get away.
 * Yakovlev: I haven't your taste for murder, Bloody Nicholas. I've never had a chance to get used to it. How many men have you killed? Have you the least idea? God knows how many peasants died. Nobody counted children. You only know the number of soldiers because somebody counted them for you. Seven million. Six quarts a man times seven million. It's an ocean. Have you ever seen a battle? I'm wrong. You're not Bloody Nicholas. You're a man of no imagination.

 * Alexis: Why did you abdicate for me? Why? You didn't even ask.
 * Nicholas: I didn't want you to pay for my mistakes.
 * Alexis: Am I not paying for them now? Aren't all of us? I should have had a chance. The right to live my own life, make my own decisions. I could have tried to help Russia, help Mother and my sisters, and perhaps even you. I could have been a Romanov. A czar.
 * Nicholas: It all went wrong. I hardly know why or how.
 * Alexis: Instead, I just bleed. It's my fate. I bleed.

John Mitchel

John Mitchel (Irish: Seán Mistéil; November 3, 1815 – March 20, 1875) was an Irish nationalist activist, solicitor and political journalist. Born in Dungiven, County Londonderry, Ireland he became a leading Member of both Young Ireland and the Irish Confederation.

Quotes

 * The people are beginning to fear that the Irish Government is merely a machinery for their destruction; that, for all the usual functions of Government, this Castle-nuisance is altogether powerless; that it is unable, or unwilling, to take a single step for the prevention of famine, for the encouragement of manufactures, or providing fields of industry, and is only active in promoting, by high premiums and bounties, the horrible manufacture of crimes!
 * Article in The Nation newspaper on 8 November,1845, titled "The Detectives",on the Administration of Government in Ireland

 * If there is to be a war between England and the United States, tis impossible for us to pretend sympathy with the former. We shall have allies, not enemies, on the banks of the Columbia, and distant and desolate as are those tracts beyond the Rocky Mountains, even there may arise an opportunity for demanding and regaining our place among the nations.
 * Article in The Nation newspaper on 6 December, 1845, an article entitled "Oregon—Ireland", in reference to the dispute then pending between England and America about Oregon.

 * Czar, I bless thee. I kiss the hem of thy garment. I drink to thy health and longevity. Give us war in our time, O Lord!
 * From "Jail Journal; or Five Years in British Prisons"

I have just placed two quotes to get the article started, I will place quotes from both his books and newspapers. I attempted to place a picture of John Mitchel, taken from the Wikipedia article, but it would not reproduce on this page? Regards --Domer48 11:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Buckbrush. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Buckbrush~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
