"You are always alone. But you are only lonely if you do not like the person you are alone with"
Has anyone come across this quote. I vaguely remember it being attributed to either Socrates or Plato, but I am not sure if the attribution was reliable. Don't even remember where I came across this. I have added this to Solitude under Unknown. Thanks. Shushruth 05:06, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

God hides himself from the man who examines him, but reveals himself to the man who seeks him.
I heard this quote in a classroom years ago, so I may not have the wording just right. The speaker attributed the words to Blaise Pascal, but I can't find it searching his works (or anywhere else, for that matter). Does this quote, inaccurate as it might be, ring a memory bell for anyone? --208.111.201.204 07:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

 * That sounds like a passage from Pascal's Pensées which you can read here. In the original it reads "Il est vrai que Dieu se cache à ceux qui le tentent, et qu'il se découvre à ceux qui le cherche".  That translates as "It is true that God hides himself from those who tempt him, and that he reveals himself to those who seek him". Antiquary 20:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I am thrilled! I have been trying to verify that quotation for 30 years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.111.201.204 (talk • contribs) 10:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Concealment through candor to insure duplicity with honor
This was originally created as its own page by 128.198.11.157: "'Concealment through candor to insure duplicity with honor,' does any one know where this quote comes from?" I've moved it to here and left a message for the user. —LrdChaos (talk) 23:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Google Book suggests that something of the kind is in Saul Bellow's Humboldt's Gift. Page 303 of the 487-page Penguin edition, seemingly.  Anyone here got a copy? Antiquary 19:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The Bronx is up and the Battery's down.
What is the origin and meaning of this phrase - particularly the meaning, please. —This unsigned comment is by Nosnibor (talk • contribs).

 * It comes from a song (I think actually from a musical, but I don't know the title). In the Manhattan directional system, north is "up" (away from the original settlement) and south is "down" (towards the original settlement, now referred to as "downtown").  The Battery is at the southern tip of Manhattan.  The bit about the Bronx is a bit of a fudge, since the Bronx is on the mainland, but it is certainly true that most of the Bronx is to the north (but also east) of most of Manhattan.
 * Ah, here's the reference (thanks, Wikipedia!): New York, New York (On The Town). 121a0012 02:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The whole nine yards
I had actually learned that this was the measure of a length of cloth on a spool, and when dress-makers wished to take the entire spool, rather than just a cut from the length, they would take "the whole nine yards."

The whole nine yards is the length of belted .50 calibre bullets carried by a B52 per machine gun.

What does the term "the whole nine yards" refer to, & what was its origin?--58.163.41.214 01:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

 * This question has been heavily researched by many people without uncovering any conclusive evidence. It does not appear to be a quotation of anyone or anything in particular, which would be Wikiquote's specialty.  121a0012 02:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

The Invasion Song
I am searching for the lyrics of "the Invasion song" that was a song on the warner bros. cartoon "Histeria". —The preceding unsigned comment was originally posted in a (now deleted) article by at 10:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I can't vouch for the accuracy, but check out "The Invasion Song" at Encyclopedia Histeria!. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:23, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Change
Who said "Change is inevitable"?

 * Pretty much everybody, I'd say. ☺ Seriously, I see that Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations (1989) has Benjamin Disraeli saying:
 * In a progressive country change is constant; … change … is inevitable.
 * October 29, 1867 speech on the Reform Bill of 1867
 * Quoted in
 * I'm afraid I don't know what the ellipses omit, why RQ feels that this is an appropriate citation for the phrase "change is inevitable", or whether there are earlier or more precise instances. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, citing The Times of 30th October 1867, has Disraeli saying in a speech at Edinburgh on the previous day, "Change is inevitable in a progressive country. Change is constant."  So that is a precise instance, in spite of Respectfully Quoted's ellipses.  I've found some earlier ones, though I wouldn't ever claim to have traced a truism back to its source:  "Such persons have frequently been found to shut their eyes against the plainest truths, to wrestle with their own convictions, and positively refuse even to listen to evidence.  The same thing may happen with regard to education;— and this is no pleasing prospect to the lover of peace, who sets himself forward as a reformer in this noble work,— Change is inevitable.  Teaching is an art; and it must, like all the other arts, depend for its improvement upon the investigations of science."  James Gall A Practical Enquiry into the Philosophy of Education (1840) p. 15.  "Now we find it frequently happens, that human laws require to be altered, amended, or changed: sometimes they are diminished; sometimes they are added to; change is inevitable to them, because those, who compose them, having only human foresight, do not discover at once the inconvenience which may at a future day arise from the enactment of some of them."  Isaac Jaquelot (trans. Wilhelmina Antoinette Bingham) A Treatise on the Truth and Inspiration of the Old and New Testament (1829) p. 67.  "Every thing is subject to change: why not therefore to improvement?  That change is inevitable there are proofs look where you will: that which is called innovation must consequently be indispensible".  Thomas Holcroft The Adventures of Hugh Trevor Vol. 5 (1797) p. 25. Antiquary 10:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * "Whoever said it never used a slot machine."

Paraphrase: "Knock at the door... they come for you (came for me) in the night."
What is the whole quote and by whom?? I've been trying to find the entire quotation from only my scant memory of how it goes. I believe it is quoted from a poem. I thought it was from T.S. Elliot. I recall this is a beautifully poignant and meaningful quotation as it may relate to the holocaust or the tyranny of fascism that is allowed to happen, one by one, to one's neighbors, not speaking a word in defense or acting in opposition, until "they come for me in the night(and nobody was left to defend me or speak in my defense)". I believe the origin of this quote came after WWII, either describing Nazi fascism or perhaps Stalinist communism. A parallel expression is this quote: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing", Edmund Burke. --209.64.87.68 07:06, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't know if this is what you're thinking of:
 * When the Nazis arrested the Communists, I said nothing; after all, I was not a Communist. When they locked up the Social Democrats, I said nothing; after all, I was not a Social Democrat. When they arrested the trade unionists, I said nothing; after all, I was not a trade unionist. When they arrested me, there was no longer anyone who could protest.
 * That's by Martin Niemöller, and you'll find a discussion of its various forms here and here. Incidentally, the attribution of your second quotation to Edmund Burke, though widely made, has never been proved. Antiquary 18:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

"If you wish to converse with me, define your terms"
Voltaire? Is the "terms" here conditions for conversing, or definitions of words that were be used in the conversation? Thanks! 74.67.42.162 15:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * This is why taking quotes out of context Is often a bad idea. I can't find this exact quote but this comes from the section on miricles in the Dictionnaire philosophique "Define your terms, you will permit me again to say, or we shall never understand one another.…Miracle, something admirable; prodigy, implying something astonishing; portentous, bearing with it novelty; monster, something to show (à montrer) on account of its variety." So it seems he means the definition of words not conditions. BTW he elsewhere says the advice is from John Locke. MeltBanana 15:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I wonder if the quote I knew of is just a loose paraphrase from the one you identified. It would be nice to source it to Locke too, in whatever form it may take.  You are a fine upstanding banana, melting or not! 74.67.42.162 02:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * A paraphrase it may be, but I doubt whether there is any source for this supposed Voltaire quotation other than the one MeltBanana has given. I'll take a stab at locating the Locke original:
 * The names of simple ideas are not capable of any definition; the names of all complex ideas are. It has not, that I know, been yet observed by anybody what words are, and what are not, capable of being defined; the want whereof is (as I am apt to think) not seldom the occasion of great wrangling and obscurity in men's discourses, whilst some demand definitions of terms that cannot be defined; and others think they ought not to rest satisfied in an explication made by a more general word, and its restriction, (or to speak in terms of art, by a genus and difference), when, even after such definition, made according to rule, those who hear it have often no more a clear conception of the meaning of the word than they had before.
 * An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689) Book III, chapter 4. Antiquary 11:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I studied both Locke and Voltaire, but many years ago. I remembered the quote as "If you would converse with me, you must first define your terms." I remember it as being Voltaire's. I liked it precisely for the lawyerly pedantry and double meaning... but then, I've always been a "wordgeek" - Rowena Cherry

I thought it was Socrates' statement in one of Plato's works. 108.94.8.229 19:00, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Laurence Sterne quote?
Is the quote:

"Failures, whims And inconsistencies do divert me. I enjoy them whenever I can."

a Laurence Sterne quote? If not, who wrote it and in what book?

My second year university English professor told me it back in the early 80's. He thought it pretty well summed me up at the time.

Please help.

Thanks -

Tommorow unchangeable future uncertain
I remember reading a quote that went along the lines of this or similar to: 'Tommorow is unchangeable, the future uncertain, so live for today.' I don't think those are the exact words though.

 * The epigrammatist Martial wrote "Tomorrow's life is too late, live for today" (reference on his page). Was this it? Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 18:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hanging indent for character quote
I think they're called hanging indents.

I just added a quote from a character in a movie. I added the bullet, but I don't know how to indent the second line. Do I do it manually? I didn't see any style tags for other quotes.

Thank you.

 * As mentioned in the cleanup banner in Repo Man (the article you were editing, I believe), the formatting guidelines for films can be found at Templates/Films. You can edit (but don't save!) this page to see the wiki markup (formatting characters) used to achieve the effects displayed on the page. (More information about this markup can be found at Help:Editing.)

 * If you are quoting multiple lines with more than one person, you really should place the quote in the "Dialogue" section, which exists for this reason. In fact, my personal preference is to place all quotes in "Dialogue" for films and TV shows. We want quotes to be precisely sourced, so we ask for page numbers or at least chapters for book quotes. The equivalent for films or TV shows is timecodes, but this is hard to do elegantly and runs into problems with the media through which people verify the quotes (commercial TV, DVDs, etc.). Therefore, the closest thing we have to regular sourcing for these articles is to add a context line very tersely (i.e., 1 short sentence) describing each scene before each dialogue excerpt. Something similar is sometimes done for character-grouped quotes by adding the context info in a sub-bullet (using two asterisks instead of one) below the quote itself). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

As straight as a die (or dye)
I have heard someone described this way meaning they are thoroughly reliable and honest. What sort of die or dye are they being compared with please - there seem so many possibilities? This is an old-fashioned expression. Thank you.

 * The Oxford English Dictionary treats the phrase "as straight as a die" (also "as true" or "as smooth as a die") as referring to "die", the singular of "dice". The earliest usage they know of dates from 1530: "Make this borde as smothe as a dyce".  That seems to settle the matter, and after all it makes sense that dice should be proverbial for smoothness, straightness and trueness, since a die that was anything less than true would be quite useless for all gambling purposes.

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 Coolyoutube. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Coolyoutube~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)

 * In addition to reading the above material, you might want to take a look at the changes I made to your article on John Stockwell, which follow the guidelines at Templates/People. (I'd be happy to explain anything you have questions about.) Also, the signature tildes ( ~ ) don't work in the edit summary, and you don't need them because the article's edit history automatically records every edit made, who made it, and when. (See how this looks in the "John Stockwell" history.) You only need to use the tilde signature for talk page posts, like this one. I hope this helps. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Tom Tancredo

Thomas Gerard "Tom" Tancredo (born December 20, 1945) is an American politician from Colorado, who represented Colorado's 6th congressional district, which includes most of Denver's southern suburbs, in the United States House of Representatives from 1999 to 2009 as a Republican. He ran for President of the United States during the 2008 election, and was the Constitution Party's unsuccessful nominee for Governor of Colorado in 2010.

Quotes

 * I trust those conversions when they happen on the road to Damascus and not on the road to Des Moines.
 * On Republican candidates' changes in position during the campaign for the 2008 U.S. Presidency, alluding to political bellwether state Iowa

 * "And by the way, there is some irony here, when we are told that we need these workers to support an aging society, yet, over the past three decades we have allowed over 40 million Americans to die in abortion clinics. Why have we turned our hearts on our own innocent babies and embraced the culture of death? We no longer even talk about the tragedy of abortion or its consequences on our mothers, our culture, or our land. Instead, of course, we are replacing- we are seeking to replace the missing with an imported servant class."
 * "And by the way, unless the United Nations stops becoming simply a debating society for anti-American rhetoric, I'm going to show them the door."
 * "[The War on Terror is] not a war we started, it's a war we must finish, and it's tough when your enemies are psychopaths and your allies are the French"
 * This is our culture; fight for it. This is our flag; pick it up. This is our country; take it back.
 * Lincoln Day Dinner Speech (April 14, 2007).

 * The only word I will accept on the word 'conservative', for me anyway, is 'unapologetic'. Because, I for one, am not sorry that we won the Cold War. I am not sorry that we reduced tax rates and created economic opportunities for millions. I am not sorry that we reformed welfare and put millions of people back to work. And I will never, ever apologize for America. It is the last best hope for Western civilization. Let's face it- no one flees for a better life from the United States, to say, Pakistan or anywhere for that matter. Why is it so hard for us, why is it so difficult for us to take pride in the fact of who we are, what we have created, what Western civilization really means.
 * CPAC Afternoon Session (March 2, 2007).

 * After September 11th, we were told that money was the lifeblood of terrorists, and that we should do everything possible to block their access to financial resources...Today we are hearing a far different message: Bank of America, it’s everywhere terrorists want to be.
 * Tancredo blasts bank policy (February 14, 2007).

 * Not only did the administration choose the side of a foreign dope-runner over the agents who stopped him from smuggling a load of drugs into the country - now they've failed to protect that agent while his case is on appeal...If the administration's goal was to deliver a one-two knockout punch to Border Patrol morale, they certainly succeeded
 * Jailed Border Patrol agent beaten; Tancredo demands pardon (February 6, 2007).

 * It is utterly hypocritical for Congress to extol the virtues of a color-blind society while officially sanctioning caucuses that are based solely on race and restrict their membership based on race.
 * Tom Tancredo to Juanita Millender-MacDonald. (January 25, 2007).

 * Look at what has happened to Miami. It has become a Third World country. You just pick it up and take it and move it someplace. You would never know you're in the United States of America. You would certainly say you're in a Third World country.
 * Furor Grows Over Tancredo's 'Third World' Comments (November 30, 2006).

 * Now, three years later, at the request of the regularly uncooperative Mexican government, your department has decided to use taxpayer resources to send marshals to Hawaii for Dog Chapman? This Administration routinely tells Congress that they cannot secure our borders and immigration system due to a lack of resources. We are told that the U. S . Attorneys offices in Border States are simply overwhelmed with cases and cannot prosecute all the violations even some of the serious ones. Yet somehow they have plenty of time to track down a Mexican drug smuggler and give him immunity so he can testify against our Border Patrol agents.
 * Tom Tancredo to Attorney General Gonzales (September 15, 2006).

 * Well, what if you said something like — if this happens in the United States, and we determine that it is the result of extremist, fundamentalist Muslims, you know, you could take out their holy sites.
 * (July 16, 2005).

 * It is not just for the security of Iraq and the freedom of Iraq. It is for the security of the entire Middle East and for the freedom of the entire Middle East.... We are creating an environment that is threatening to the rest of the fundamentalist regimes in the area. This is an honorable goal on our part, but it is worrisome to the extreme. We do not know what they will do, nor what they have to do it with.
 * (June 15, 2004).

William McGonagall

William Topaz McGonagall (1825 – September 29, 1902) was a Scottish weaver, actor, and poet. Born in Edinburgh of Irish parents, he settled in Dundee. He is comically renowned as one of the most loved poets in the English language; his distinctive verse style is often imitated in Private Eye and Spike Milligan was among his many "admirers".

Lines in praise of the Rev. George Gilfillan (1877)

 * All hail to the Rev. George Gilfillan, of Dundee, He is the greatest preacher I did ever hear or see. He preaches in a plain, straightforward way, The people flock to hear him night and day, And hundreds from his church doors are often turned away, Because he is the greatest preacher of the present day.
 * McGonagall's first poem.

A Requisition to the Queen (1877)

 * Most Mighty Empress, of India, and Englands beloved Queen, Most Handsome to be Seen. I wish you every Success. And that heaven may you bless. For your Kindness to the poor while they are in distress. I hope the Lord will protect you while living And hereafter when your Majesty is … dead. I hope the Lord above will place an eternal Crown! upon your Head. I am your Gracious Majesty ever faithful to Thee, William McGonagall, The Poor Poet, That lives in Dundee.

The Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay (1878)

 * BEAUTIFUL Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay ! With your numerous arches and pillars in so grand array And your central girders, which seem to the eye To be almost towering to the sky.
 * Written before the disaster.

The Tay Bridge Disaster (1880)

 * Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay! Alas! I am very sorry to say That ninety lives have been taken away On the last Sabbath day of 1879, Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
 * The death toll was actually 75.

 * I must now conclude my lay By telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay, That your central girders would not have given way, At least many sensible men do say, Had they been supported on each side with buttresses, At least many sensible men confesses.

The Battle of Bannockburn

 * Then King Edward ordered his horsemen to charge, Thirty thousand in number, it was very large; They thought to o'erwhelm them ere they could rise from their knees, But they met a different destiny, which did them displease; For the horsemen fell into the spik'd pits in the way, And, with broken ranks and confusion, they all fled away, But few of them escap'd death from the spik'd pits, For the Scots with their swords hack'd them to bits.

Other works

 * But I may say Dame Fortune has been very kind to me by endowing me with the genius of poetry. I remember how I felt when I received the spirit of poetry. It was in the year of 1877.
 * "The Autobiography of Sir William Topaz McGonagall", published in the Weekly News
 * McGonagall's "knighthood" was an honorary one conferred on him by King Theebaw of the Andaman Islands: "Knight of the White Elephant of Burmah".

 * I was seized with a strong desire to write poetry, so strong, in fact, that in imagination I thought I heard a voice crying in my ears – "Write! Write" I wondered what could be the matter with me, and I began to walk backwards and forwards in a great fit of excitement, saying to myself– "I know nothing about poetry."
 * "The Autobiography of Sir William Topaz McGonagall".

 * Well, I must say that the first man who threw peas at me was a publican ..
 * "Reminiscences".

Ferenc Puskás

Ferenc Puskás (April 2, 1927 – November 17, 2006) was a Hungarian football forward and coach.

Sourced

 * I would be a liar if I said we were not pretty nervous on the day of the match. I was in my kit, hanging about in the corridor, when I saw the England inside-right [Ernie] Taylor, who wasn't very tall. I popped back into the dressing room and said to the others: 'Listen, we're going to be all right, they've got someone even smaller than me'.
 * Ferenc Puskas before Hungary demolished England 6-3 at Wembley in 1953. BBC

About Ferenc Puskás

 * I was with (Bobby) Charlton, (Denis) Law and Puskás, we were coaching in a football academy in Australia. The youngsters we were coaching did not respect him including making fun of his weight and age...We decided to let the guys challenge a coach to hit the crossbar 10 times in a row, obviously they picked the old fat one. Law asked the kids how many they thought the old fat coach would get out of ten. Most said less than five. Best said ten. The old fat coach stepped up and hit nine in a row. For the tenth shot he scooped the ball in the air, bounced it off both shoulders and his head, then flicked it over with his heel and cannoned the ball off the crossbar on the volley. They all stood in silence then one kid asked who he was, I replied, "To you, his name is Mr. Puskás".
 * George Best

 * Look at that little fat chap. We’ll murder this lot.
 * An unidentified, overconfident English player upon seeing Puskás before their England v Hungary (1953) encounter.

 * Of all of us, he was the best. He had a seventh sense for soccer. If there were 1,000 solutions, he would pick the 1001st.
 * Nándor Hidegkuti Los Angeles Times

 * Puskás scared the hell out of goalkeepers from the 30-35 metre range. He did not just have a powerful shot, but precision as well. I thought he was a genius.
 * Raymond Kopa

 * The man was a supertalent. I have lost a friend and quality player. That's how Puskás was as a person and a football player. He was one of the greatest players of all time but life, my friend, when you least expect it comes to an end.
 * Alfredo Di Stéfano

 * There is not one Hungarian who would be left untouched by the death of Ferenc Puskás. The best-known Hungarian of the 20th century has left... Ferenc Puskás has left us, but "Puskás Öcsi" the legend will always stay with us.
 * Ferenc Gyurcsány, the Prime Minister of Hungary

 * He got along with everyone and had a very jovial character that helped him play with a striking amount of joy and calmness. He had a great shot and he could accelerate very quickly, ... all-around skilled and above all explosive.
 * Luis Suarez

 * Although he was a famous footballer he seemed very normal compared to today's modern stars. He lived in a modest flat below ours and was very generous. He often brought home footballs from training for the kids in the block to play with.
 * Olalla Maranon, A former Neighbour In Madrid

 * "He was a special player in his day without question. How that Hungary team didn't win the 1954 World Cup is beyond me". (Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson)

 * "He had a roly poly physique but a wonderful left foot and he was a brilliant finisher. I would put Puskas in any list of all time greats". (Preston and England legend Sir Tom Finney)

 * "He had such control of the ball and so much skill. He could make long, accurate passes and could score goals". (Former BBC pundit Jimmy Hill)

Gibson said, "Terry McAuliffe and the other Democrats should pay close attention to their talking points these days. That nut job running Iran, President — let's see if I can pronounce it — Ahmadinejad, sent President Bush a letter, and if it weren't postmarked Tehran, it might have been mistaken for a crank letter from an angry leftist in L.A. or Boulder or Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Christians are not acting like Christians, says the Iranian president. Democrat talking point. WMD lies, says the Iranian president. Democrat talking point. Human-rights abuses in Gitmo.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a 1953 film adaptation of the 1949 stage musical about two singers who travel to Paris, pursued by a private detective hired by the disapproving father of one's fiancé to keep an eye on her, as well as a rich, enamored old man and many other doting admirers.
 * Directed by Howard Hawks. Written by Anita Loos (novel and play), Joseph Fields (play), and Charles Lederer.

The Two M-M-Marvels Of Our Age In The Wonder Musical Of The World!

Dorothy Shaw

 * Remember honey, on your wedding day it's all right to say "yes".

Lorelei Lee

 * I want you to find happiness and stop having fun.
 * There was an old man named Sidney... Who drank till he ruined a kidney. It shriveled and shrank, but he drank and he drank... He had his fun doing it, didn't he?

Dialogue

 * Lorelei Lee: Excuse me, but what is the way to Europe, France?
 * Dorothy Shaw: Honey, France is IN Europe.
 * Lorelei Lee: Well who said it wasn't?
 * Dorothy Shaw: Well... you wouldn't say you wanted to go to North America, Mexico.
 * Lorelei Lee: If that's where I wanted to go, I would.

 * Gus Esmond: [looking at Dorothy who is admiring some athletes] Dorothy Shaw, you're supposed to be the chaperone on the trip!
 * Dorothy Shaw: Now let's get one thing straight, Gus: The chaperone's job is to make sure nobody else has any fun. But nobody chaperones the chaperone. That's why I'm so right for this job.

 * Dorothy Shaw: Honey, did it ever occur to you that some people just don't care about money?
 * Lorelei Lee: Please don't be silly, we're talking serious.

 * Dorothy Shaw: Oh no, you're not one of those, are you?
 * Ernie Malone: One of what?
 * Dorothy Shaw: The kind who thinks he has to tell a girl how much money he has.
 * Ernie Malone: What's the matter with having money?
 * Dorothy Shaw: Yes, I'm afraid you are. Do me a favor, will you Malone? Go whistle up a rope.

 * Dorothy Shaw: I've been wondering, what's your line, Mr. Malone?
 * Ernie Malone: My line? My most effective one is to tell a girl she has hair like a torch at midnight, lips like a red couch in an ivory palace that I'm lonely and starved for affection. Then, I generally burst into tears. It seldom works.

 * Henry Spofford III: [talking to Lorelei, stuck going through the porthole] All right. I'll help you. I'll help you for two reasons.
 * Lorelei Lee: Never mind the reasons. Just help me.
 * Henry Spofford III: The first reason is I'm too young to be sent to jail. The second reason is you got a lot of animal magnetism.

 * Lady Beekman: You'll find I mean business!
 * Dorothy Shaw: Oh, really? Then why are you wearing that hat?

 * Esmond Sr.: Have you got the nerve to tell me you don't want to marry my son for his money?
 * Lorelei Lee: It's true.
 * Esmond Sr.: Then what do you want to marry him for?
 * Lorelei Lee: I want to marry him for YOUR money.

 * Lorelei Lee: Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?
 * Mr. Esmond Sr.: Say, they told me you were stupid! You certainly don't seem stupid to me!
 * Lorelei Lee: I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it.

 * Mr. Esmond Sr.: Are you out of your mind?
 * Ernie Malone: Mm-hmm, but I like it that way.

Pierre Bourdieu

Pierre Bourdieu (August 1, 1930 – January 23, 2002) was an acclaimed French sociologist whose work employed methods drawn from a wide range of disciplines, from philosophy and literary theory to sociology and anthropology.

Quotes

 * If the sociologist has a role, it is probably more to furnish weapons than to give lessons.
 * (talk at the Conference of the AFEF, Limoges, October 30, 1977)

 * By making social hierarchies and the reproduction of these hierarchies appear based upon the hierarchy of ‘gifts’, merits, or skill established and ratified by its sanctions, or, in a word, by converting social hierarchies into academic hierarchies, the educational system fulfils a function of legitimation which is more and more necessary to the perpetuation of the ‘social order’ as the evolution of the power relationship between classes tends more completely to exclude the imposition of a hierarchy based upon the crude and ruthless affirmation of the power relationship.
 * Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste (1973), p. 84

 * The practical mastery of the logic or of the imminent necessity of a game — a mastery acquired by experience of the game, and one which works outside conscious control and discourse (in the way that. for instance, techniques of the body do).
 * (1990), In Other Words p. 60

 * Practice has a logic which is not that of the logician.
 * (1990), The Logic of Practice. p. 86

 * You can fight the international technocracy in an efficient way only by challenging it on its very own field of activity, the economic science, and by opposing a kind of knowledge that respects human beings and realities towards that mutilated kind of knowledge used by the technocrats themselves.
 * Pierre Bourdieu on a strike meeting of governmental employees in Lyon/France, 1995. Quote from: Grefe C., Greffrath M. & Schumann H. Attac: Was wollen die Globalisierungskritiker? Berlin: Rowohlt p. 15

 * Male domination is so rooted in our collective unconscious that we no longer even see it.
 * (1998), "On male domination" Le Monde Diplomatique, Oct. 10, 1998

 * Television enjoys a de facto monopoly on what goes into the heads of a significant part of the population and what they think.
 * (1998: 18); as cited in: Helen Kelly-Holmes (2001) Minority Language Broadcasting: Breton and Irish. p. 8

 * I often say that sociology is a martial art, a means of self-defense. Basically, you use it to defend yourself, without having the right to use it for unfair attacks.
 * (2000), La Sociologie est un sport de combat; cited in: John Horne, Wolfram Manzenreiter (2004), Football Goes East. p. xii

 * The point of my work is to show that culture and education aren't simply hobbies or minor influences.
 * (2001), "The Intellectual Class Struggle," New York Times, Jan. 6, 2001

Equisse d'une Théorie de la Pratique (1977)

 * (1977), Equisse d'une Théorie de la Pratique.

 * The mind is a metaphor of the world of objects which is itself but an endless circle of mutually reflecting metaphors.
 * p. 91

 * Every established order tends to produce (to very different degrees with different means) the naturalization of its own arbitrariness.
 * p. 164; as cited in: Jan E. M. Houben (1996) Ideology and Status of Sanskrit, p. 190

 * The most successful ideological effects are those which have no need of words, and ask no more than complicitous silence
 * p. 188

About Pierre Bourdieu

 * Overall, Bourdieu's work provides a dynamic model of structural inequality; it enables researchers to capture "moments" of cultural and social reproduction. To understand the character of these moments, researchers need to look at the contexts in which capital is situated, the efforts by individuals to activate their capital, the skill with which they do so, and the institutional response to the activation of resources. Unfortunately, Bourdieu's empirical work has not paid sufficient attention to the difference between the possession of capital and the activation of capital." Nor has he focused attention on the crucial mediating role of individuals who serve as "gatekeepers" and decision makers in organizations.
 * Annette Lareau Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life (2011)

 * Pierre Bourdieu [was] a leading French sociologist and maverick intellectual who emerged as a public figure here in the 1990's by championing the antiglobalization movement and other anti-establishment causes.
 * Alan Riding (2002) "Pierre Bourdieu, 71, French Thinker and Globalization Critic"  Guardian January 25, 2002

 * in the canonical studies of Eckert, as well as of Willis (1977) and Bourdieu and Passeron (1977), high schools are key sites for the reproduction of socioeconomic stratification.
 * Jonathan Rosa, Looking Like a Language, Sounding Like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad (2019)

 * Pierre Bourdieu, a French sociologist, observed that elites in a society typically maintain their power not simply by controlling the means of production (ie money), but by dominating the cultural discourse too (ie a society’s intellectual map). And what is most important in relation to that cognitive map is not what is overtly stated and discussed – but what is left unstated, or ignored.
 * Gillian Tett "Eliminate financial double-think" Financial Times, August 20, 2009

 * I think it's the worst of two worlds because in the current system you choose the best person I'm not sure the prime minister chose the best person. And he cannot claim that it's a democratic process. Really, it's an election that came a very long time ago.
 * On the appointment of Bert Brown to the Senate

 * Canada is a country that works better in practice than in theory.

Quotes

 * Isn't Biblical Eden an ambivalent symbol? It seems to me that the myth simply show us that self-awareness and intelligence are perilous. And they can be deadly. But consider the alternative to the Tree of Knowledge. Would anyone want innocence at such a price? Not me.
 * The Many-Colored Land (Houghton Mifflin, 1981), ISBN 0-395-30230-7, chap. 7, p. 45

 * There is no such thing as love at first sight, Bryan. There’s only sex at first sight.
 * The Many-Colored Land, chap. 9, p. 59

 * Summer fog. It leached all color and substance from the world, leaving only grays.  Lead gray tombstone gray cobweb gray ash gray snot gray dust gray corpse gray.  It was unheard-of that there be fog at this time of the year, late August.  So it had to be another portent — as dire a one as the death of the One-Handed Warrior.  There were many who said that the fog had its origin in the supercooled ashes of the hero: each molecule of his scattered body accreting water vapor, each tiny relic drawing to itself the air's own tears to fashion this wide-spreading shroud over the Many-Colored Land.
