Talk:Scott Ritter

Surplus (copied from Russia)

 * We had a moment in history, between 1988 and 1991, where we could have worked with Mikhail Gorbachev to make his vision of perestroika succeed. Instead, we allowed him to fail, without any real plan on how we would live with what emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Save for a short period of time during the Second World War where we needed the Soviet Union to defeat Germany and Japan, we have been in a continual state of political conflict with the Soviet Union. Even after the Soviet Union collapsed, we viewed the Russian Federation more as a defeated enemy that we needed to keep down, than a friend in need of a helping hand up. Yeltsin’s Russia was useful to the US and NATO only to the extent that we could exploit it economically while controlling its domestic politics in a manner that kept Russia in a perpetual state of weakness. The Obama “reset” was simply a ploy to remove Vladimir Putin, who rejected the vision of Russia projected by the west, and replace him with Dmitri Medvedev, whom Obama believed could be remade in the figure of Yeltsin. The fact that Putin believes in a strong Russia has upset the plans of the US, NATO, and Europe for post-Cold War hegemony, predicated as they were on a weak, compliant Russian state.
 * Scott Ritter as quoted in What Are The Prospects For Peace? by John Rachel, Dissident Voice / February 24th, 2022

 * The bottom line is that Russia has set forth a cognizable claim under the doctrine of anticipatory collective self defense, devised originally by the U.S. and NATO, as it applies to ([[Charter of the United Nations) Article 51]] which is predicated on fact, not fiction.  While it might be in vogue for people, organizations, and governments in the West to embrace the knee-jerk conclusion that Russia’s military intervention constitutes a wanton violation of the United Nations Charter and, as such, constitutes an illegal war of aggression, the uncomfortable truth is that, of all the claims made regarding the legality of pre-emption under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, Russia’s justification for invading Ukraine is on solid legal ground.
 * Scott Ritter, Russia, Ukraine & the Law of War: Crime of Aggression], Consortium News, March 29, 2022

 * ...Go back and actually read the amendments put by the United States House of Representatives on Department of Defense Appropriations legislation from 2015 up until just this year. They continuously forbid funds, US taxpayer funds, being used to train the Azov battalion, which is listed by the US Congress as a white supremacist neo-Nazi organization. So anybody who wants to pretend that there isn’t a Nazi problem in Ukraine, simply I refer you to Congress and its own legislation. The Russians believe that this is a big problem and they want it eradicated. Now, why did I bring this up? Because Russia hasn’t shifted gears at all. Russia’s still saying, we want a European security framework out of this and we are adhering to our original objectives. Russia hasn’t altered course at all. Ukraine, on the other hand, is saying that victory can only be achieved when Russia is evicted from all territory, including Crimea.... Russia has realistic objectives that can be attained. Ukraine doesn’t. I mean, there’s just literally no one on this planet besides maybe… I don’t even think the Ukrainians believe it, that they’re going to recapture the Donbas, that they’re going to recapture Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, that they’re going to recapture Crimea. This is fantasy. So you have one side that their objectives are fantasy based, you have another side whose objectives are, while difficult to achieve, are very realistic...
 * Scott Ritter: Don't Believe the Hype. Ukraine Can't Win This War; subheading: Former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter explains why a Russian victory is inevitable, and what it costs the West to refuse to accept this, The Real News Network; (15 November 2022)

 * Let’s look at the Russian strategic objectives... First and foremost, Russia is seeking to get Europe and the United States to buy into the notion of a negotiated new European security framework. It’s something that Russia put on the table prior to invading Ukraine... Dec. 17, I believe, of last year, Russia submitted two draft treaties, one to NATO, one to the United States, which articulated Russia’s stance on what its vision of a new European security framework... They invited the West to read it and have a serious discussion... and they were ignored.Then Russia invaded Ukraine, and Russia has two objectives. One is the demilitarization of Ukraine, the other is the deNazification of Ukraine. Demilitarization means the elimination of all NATO influence on the Ukrainian military, and deNazification means just that... I’d advise people to go back and actually read the amendments put by the United States House of Representatives on Department of Defense Appropriations legislation from 2015 up until just this year. They continuously forbid funds, US taxpayer funds, being used to train the Azov battalion, which is listed by the US Congress as a white supremacist neo-Nazi organization... The Russians believe that this is a big problem and they want it eradicated...  Russia has realistic objectives that can be attained. Ukraine doesn’t.
 * Scott Ritter: Don't Believe the Hype. Ukraine Can't Win This War; The Real News Network; (15 November 2022)

 * Ukraine’s going to have to accept reality. It has permanently lost Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, the Donbas, and Crimea. You will never get it back, Ukraine. Never, ever, ever in a million years. And if you continue this fight, very soon you’re going to lose Odessa. You’re going to lose Kharkiv, and you will never get them back. You will lose Mykolaiv, you’ll lose Dnipropetrovsk, you’ll lose your very existence. You’ll never get it back, ever. Russia’s reached a point where it is not in a mood to negotiate. What the Ukrainians would have to offer the Russians is a lot, which is recognition of all territory, a guarantee that they will never join NATO, and a concerted effort to eliminate the ideology of Stepan Bandera from mainstream Ukrainian politics. He’s no longer a national hero, Nazi symbology and parades will no longer be tolerated, things of that nature.

 * We have a situation now because of the partisan divide in this country that information war has become an integral part of who we are. Instead of being the exception to the rule, it is now the rule and we're allowing politics and deception to define what qualifies as fact and we're ignoring reality... In the case  of Ukraine, you know we were getting spun... (mainstream media was) ... spinning dead Russians as this great victory for Ukraine.  Now we're finding out that even the liars can't sustain the lie anymore. Meaning the 4 star generals... on mainstream media... they're paid shills...  nothing they say is doctrinally correct. (starts at 1:20)
 * For every Russian is going down, 10 to 15 Ukrainians are going down, Youtube, May 6, 2022

 * What happened... The Russians went in with a concept of operations that it appears was flawed intelligence... Russian Security... apparently went in and bought off a bunch of generals or tried to, & buy off some politicians. They got signatures from mayors guaranteeing that there would be no resistance and they had assurances from generals that Ukrainian troops would remain in the barracks. So the initial columns that went into Ukraine were told to operate not using traditional Russian doctrine... and it worked great... except that Ukrainians were waiting in ambush. The end results were several very well executed ambushes which annihilated platoon and company sized formations of the Russian Army. Despite all this, after the first 3 weeks, Russia had achieved a seven to one kill ratio. I'm not glorifying death, just telling you that normally in war when two sides are fighting... the combat ratio is usually 1.2 to 1...  The Russian now are killing 7x more Ukrainians, were killing 7x more Ukrainians in the opening phases of the war. Any who thought that the Russians were losing, just simply don't understand military math... Phase two right now, the  Russians are basically a 10 to 15 to one casualty ratio, meaning they're slaughtering the Ukrainians as we speak. It's not even a close fight.   (From 3:35 to 5:57)

 * I think that there is a whole lot turning upside down at rock radio -- not -- excuse me, talk radio particularly. Radio as we know it is pretty much changing completely. You know, the diversity of the taste of the folks that are watching the show right now is way more than what is available in the little Motorola in your car today.

If he came back, Carville said: I used to think if there was reincarnation, I wanted to come back as the president or the pope or a .400 baseball hitter. But now I want to come back as the bond market. You can intimidate everybody.

Quotes about

 * James Carville was one person I was certain I’d dislike when I sat down to interview him in the early spring of 1996. Carville was a famous partisan. He ran Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign and shamelessly shilled for the Democratic Party. Watching him from afar, Carville struck me as a transparent fraud. What I discovered in talking to him was that James Carville was indeed a fraud, but openly so, in the most honest and genuine way. Over time, Carville wound up one of my favorite people in the world, one of the few friends I’ve gone to repeatedly for serious life advice. I haven’t taken a new job in twenty years without calling him first. James Carville is a genuinely wise man. What a shock that was to discover. Life is full of happy surprises like that, thank God. They more than compensate for the rest.
 * Tucker Carlson, The Long Slide: Thirty Years in American Journalism (2021)

Quotes

 * Once again the hopes of people of two nations are being smashed by weapons in the name of eliminating weapons. Let us abolish weapons of mass destruction at home.  Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction.  Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction.  Hunger is a weapon of mass destruction.  Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction.  Poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction.  Discrimination is a weapon of mass destruction.

 * With the capture of Saddam Hussein the Administration's stated goal of removing him from power has been accomplished. Now the focus must be on ending the occupation. International law must be followed and Saddam Hussein must be held accountable for his actions. The United States must seize this moment and end the occupation of Iraq. The United States must reach out to the world community with a new plan to stabilize Iraq, bring UN peacekeepers in, and bring US troops home.

 * I took the position of organizing 126 Democrats who voted against the Iraq war resolution. And I happen to think it was the right position. Today we're faced with over 500 casualties, a cost of over $200 billion, and it could rise — the casualties could go into the thousands and the costs could go over a half trillion if we stay there for years, as a number of people on this stage intend to see happen.

 * I hold in my heart that rebellious spirit of youth that demands change.
 * Speech, University of Manchester, Manchester, New Hampshire (27 January 2004).

 * Almost half of the bankruptcies in the United States are connected to an illness in the family, whether people had health insurance or not. Middle-class Americans, who had the misfortune of either experiencing a medical emergency themselves or watching a family member suffer, were then forced to face the daunting task of pulling themselves out of debt. Bankruptcy law has allowed them to start over. It has given hope. Now this new law will put people on their own. Illness or emergency creates medical bills. We are telling the people that they themselves are to blame. At the same time, we are removing protections that would stay an eviction, that would keep a roof over the head of a working family. We allow the credit industry to trick consumers into using subprime cards, with exorbitant interest rate hikes and fees. Then we hand those same consumers over to an unforgiving prison of debt, to be put on a rack of insolvency and squeezed dry by the credit card industry. We are protecting the profits of the credit card industry instead of protecting the economic future of the American people. Americans are left on their own. That's what this Administration's "Ownership Society" is all about — you're on your own — and your ship is sinking.
 * Speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, Congressional Record (14 April, 2005).

 * The administration, through senior Air Force officials, wants the U.S. to achieve military supremacy in outer space. Dominating all earth from outer space will have an out-of-world price tag, perhaps more than $1 trillion. A question: Why reach for the stars with guns in our hands? Are there weapons of mass destruction on Mars? Yesterday 28 Members of Congress signed on to H.R. 2420, a bill to stop the weaponization of space, urging the President to sign an international treaty to ban such weapons. If we work together towards creating peace on earth, we would not bring war to the high heavens. While some fantasize about being "masters of the universe," there are 45 million Americans without health insurance. Corporations are reneging on pension obligations. Social Security is under attack. We are headed towards a $400 billion annual budget deficit, a $600 billion trade deficit, an $8 trillion national debt. The cost of the war in Iraq is over $200 billion. While we build new bases in Iraq, we close them in the United States. Earth to Washington, D.C. Earth to Washington, D.C. D.C., call home.
 * Speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, Congressional Record (19 May 2005).

 * The PATRIOT Act allows Federal agents to look at public and university library patron circulation records, books checked out, magazines consulted, all subject to government scrutiny. There used to be a time in this country when we were worried whether our young people knew how to read. Now some in our government are more worried that government agents be able to find out what people are reading.
 * Speech from the floor of the House of Representatives, Congressional Record (15 June 2005).

 * Our amendment earmarks $10 million out of the account called Army Research, Development, Test and Evaluation. The money would go to a research program administered by the Army Medical Research and Materiel Command in the DoD, for identifying the biological mechanisms behind the illnesses — particularly the neurological and immunological ones; the chronic disease effects; better diagnostic criteria for the illnesses; and identification of treatments. The MRMC will design a research plan for that purpose, relying heavily on the expertise outside DoD and the VA. It will be subject to peer review by experts, a significant number of which will be independent of DoD. $10 million will have a large impact on veterans who rely on the government to take care of them after they have taken care of us. I urge my colleagues to support the Kucinich-Shays-Sanders amendment. Vote 'yes' to restore research funding for Gulf War Illnesses.
 * Speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, Congressional Record (20 June, 2005).

 * The center has shifted in our politics. I'm really at the center. And all the other candidates are to the right of me.
 * Quoted in Alyssa Kim, "Kucinich Campaigns for Peace," (August 12, 2007). Kucinich was speaking on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, ABC News (August 12, 2007)

 * I think we have to get rid of nuclear weapons. The idea that somehow by having nuclear weapons you make the world a safer place is essentially insane.
 * Quoted in Alyssa Kim, "Kucinich Campaigns for Peace" (August 12, 2007). Kucinich was speaking on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, ABC News (August 12, 2007)

 * I’ve been a vegan now since 1995, that would be more than 14 years, and as a result I’ve had tremendous health… great energy, clarity — I’ve had the ability to connect my dietary choices with my health. I had Crohn’s growing up and I had a pretty serious bout with it throughout my thirties and forties. When I changed my diet, the symptoms began to disappear. And I started to understand also how the choice of diet affects the environment, resources, energy — it’s a spiritual choice, as well. And so if I had one day to make an imprint on the nation, I’d look at the choices that we make as respect to food. Also, the matters of compassion towards living creatures who become food. We need to be more thoughtful as a nation about the choices that we make and the food that we consume.
 * Interview on Reddit, quoted in "Dennis Kucinich Wants To Give Vegan Chocolate Chip Brownies To The World", Ecorazzi (21 December 2009)

"Government has become an exclusive, closed-loop system, a secret society, which does not grant entry unless, as in my first successful election, you remove the doors. Access to government has become, then, ever more exclusive. Only an enlightened, active citizenry can remove the barriers. Big money and corporate leverage have driven Cleveland politics for the past four decades. City Hall is a Potemkin village. Break through the facade and you see corporate interests which control local government, with no discernible benefit to people who live in the city.
 * As quoted in If Dennis Kucinich Becomes the Mayor of Cleveland, It’ll Be a Shock to the System. Again, by Norman Solomon (17 June 2021)

Quotes about Dennis Kucinich

 * Now, 42 years after the end of his first term as mayor, Dennis Kucinich is ready for his second.... While the Kucinich for Mayor campaign revs up, his new book—titled "The Division of Light and Power"—is drawing a lot of praise. It's a stunning page-turner and barnburner that combines the genres of political memoir and real-life narrative thriller — a luminous book that goes to shadowy places with the resolve of Diogenes holding a lantern high. While offering the inside story of historic events, the book also implicitly takes us to the real time of the present... The achievements of the book mirror its subject and its author — truth-telling and courage despite political taboos and illegitimate power — showing how people from many walks of life can work together to overcome the forces of petty opportunism and corporate greed... You can bet that the Kucinich for Mayor campaign has already set off alarm bells among economic elites in Cleveland and far beyond. Mayor Kucinich could set an example for what a city government can do to serve everyone instead of just the interests of the wealthy.

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.

Robert Crumb

Robert Dennis Crumb (born 30 August 1943) is an American cartoonist and musician who often signs his work R. Crumb. His work displays a nostalgia for American folk culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and satire of contemporary American culture.

Quotes

 * As a kid growing up in the 1950s I became acutely aware of the changes taking place in American culture and I must say I didn't much like it. I witnessed the debasement of architecture, and I could see a decline in the quality of things like comic books and toys, things made for kids. Old things seemed to have more life, more substance, more humanity in them.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 23

 * What we kids didn't understand was that we were living in a commercial, commodity culture. Everything in our environment had been bought and sold. As middle class Americans, we basically grew up on a movie set. The conscious values that are pushed are only part of the picture. The medium itself plays a much bigger part than anyone realizes: the creation of illusion. We are living surrounded by illusion, by professionally created fairy tales. We barely have contact with the real world.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 56

 * About the only power you have is the power to discriminate. Living in a culture like this, you have to make choices and search out what has the most authentic content or substance. In the 1960s, while on LSD, I realized that my mind was a garbage receptacle of mass media images and input. I spent my whole childhood absorbing so much crap that my personality and mind are saturated with it. God only knows if that affects you physically! As a kid I became increasingly interested in earlier periods of culture. I turned into a little nostalgia boy, and I became steeped in the Our Gang fantasy from watching them on TV. So much so, that my speech patterns were affected. The style of those Our Gang comedies was so charming that I started acting and talking like Jackie Cooper and Alfalfa. They had these cute kids, artificial mannerisms. It must have been embarrassing for people to hear me talk like that.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 60

 * I took some bad acid in November of 1965, and the after effect left me crazy and helpless for six months. My mind would drift into a place that was very electrical and crackly, filled with harsh, abrasive, low grade, cartoony, tawdry carnival visions. There was a nightmarish mechanical aspect to everyday life. My ego was so shattered, so fragmented that it didn't get in the way during what was the most unself-conscious period of my life. I was kind of on automatic pilot and was still constantly drawing. Most of my popular characters—Mr. Natural, Flaky Foont, Angelfood McSpade, Eggs Ackley, The Snoid, The Vulture Demonesses, Av' n' Gar, Shuman the Human, the Truckin' guys, Devil Girl—all suddenly appeared in the drawings in my sketchbook in this period, early 1966. Amazing! I was relieved when it was finally over, but I also immediately missed the egoless state of that strange interlude. LSD put me somewhere else. I wasn't sure where. All I know is, it was a strange place. Psychedelic drugs broke me out of my social programming. It was a good thing for me, traumatic though, and I may have been permanently damaged by the whole thing, I'm not sure. I see LSD as a positive, important life experience for me, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 132

 * I was totally amazed. This little home made underground comix thing was turning into a business before my eyes. It went from us going around Haight Street trying to sell these things we had folded and stapled ourselves to suddenly being a business with distributors, lawyers, contracts, and money talk. … The whole thing began to take on a heaviness that I believe had a negative effect on my work. I was only twenty-five years old when all this happened. It was a case of "too much too soon," I think. I became acutely self-conscious about what I was doing. Was I now a "spokesman" for the hippies or what? I had no idea how to handle my new position in society! … Take Keep On Truckin'... for example. Keep on Truckin'... is the curse of my life. This stupid little cartoon caught on hugely. … I didn't want to turn into a greeting card artist for the counter-culture! I didn't want to do 'shtick'—the thing Lenny Bruce warned against. That's when I started to let out all my perverse sex fantasies. It was the only way out of being "America's Best Loved Hippie Cartoonist."
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 163

 * Before industrial civilization, local and regional communities made their own music, their own entertainment. The esthetics were based on traditions that went far back in time—i.e. folklore. But part of the con of mass culture is to make you forget history, disconnect you from tradition and the past. Sometimes that can be a good thing. Sometimes it can even be revolutionary. But tradition can also keep culture on an authentic human level, the homespun as opposed to the mass produced. Industrial civilization figured out how to manufacture popular culture and sell it back to the people. You have to marvel at the ingenuity of it! The problem is that the longer this buying and selling goes on, the more hollow and bankrupt the culture becomes. It loses its fertility, like worn out, ravaged farmland. Eventually, the yokels who bought the hype, the pitch, they want in on the game. When there are no more naive hicks left, you have a culture where everybody is conning each other all the time. There are no more earnest "squares" left—everybody's "hip", everybody is cynical.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 180

 * I was lucky to be part of the "underground comix" thing in which cartoonists were completely free to express themselves. To function on those terms means putting everything out in the open—no need to hold anything back—total liberation from censorship, including the inner censor! A lot of my satire is considered by some to be "too hard." My "negro" characters are not about black people, but are more about pushing these "uncool" stereotypes in readers' faces, so suddenly they have to deal with a very tacky part of our human nature. … Who did I think I was appealing to? I don't know. I was just being a punk, putting down on paper all these messy parts of the culture we internalize and keep quiet about. I admit I'm occasionally embarrassed when I look at some of that work now.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 256

 * People have no idea of the sources for my work. I didn't invent anything; It's all there in the culture; it's not a big mystery. I just combine my personal experience with classic cartoon stereotypes.
 * Comment made to the press in 1976, quoted in The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 260

 * The fine art world and the commercial art industry are both all about money. It's hard to say which is more contemptible: the fine art world with its double talk and pretensions to the cultural high ground, or the world of commercial art trying to sell to the largest mass market it can reach. A serious artist really shouldn't be too deeply involved in either of these worlds. It's best to be on the fringe of them. In general, if you want to be a success and make the money, you have to play the game. It's no different in the fine art world, it's just a slightly different game. Essentially, you're marketing an illusion. It's much easier to lie to humans and trick them than to tell them the truth. They'd much rather be bamboozled than be told the truth, because the way to trick them is to flatter them and tell them what they want to hear, to reinforce their existing illusions. They don't want to know the truth. Truth is a bring-down, a bummer, or it's just too complicated, too much mental work to grasp.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 297

 * My generation comes from a world that has been molded by crass TV programs, movies, comic books, popular music, advertisements and commercials. My brain is a huge garbage dump of all this stuff and it is this, mainly, that my work comes out of, for better or for worse. I hope that whatever synthesis I make of all this crap contains something worthwhile, that it's something other than just more smarmy entertainment—or at least, that it's genuine high quality entertainment. I also hope that perhaps it's revealing of something, maybe. On the other hand, I want to avoid becoming pretentious in the eagerness to give my work deep meanings! I have an enormous ego and must resist the urge to come on like a know-it-all. Some of the imagery in my work is sorta scary because I'm basically a fearful, pessimistic person. I'm always seeing the predatory nature of the universe, which can harm you or kill you very easily and very quickly, no matter how well you watch your step. The way I see it, we are all just so much chopped liver. We have this great gift of human intelligence to help us pick our way through this treacherous tangle, but unfortunately we don't seem to value it very much. Most of us are not brought up in environments that encourage us to appreciate and cultivate our intelligence. To me, human society appears mostly to be a living nightmare of ignorant, depraved behavior. We're all depraved, me included. I can't help it if my work reflects this sordid view of the world. Also, I feel that I have to counteract all the lame, hero-worshipping crap that is dished out by the mass-media in a never-ending deluge.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 363

 * What the hell is this?? Who can tell me?? Does anybody know?? How can I find out more about it?? One thing's sure: the human mind can't "know" it...why does one want to "know"?? Is it a quest for "freedom"? One no longer wishes to be a puppet dancing on the strings of...of what? Animal instincts?? Learned reflexes? Programmed behavior?? Ingrained habits of perception?? How limited are we by the experience of our senses, by our physical nature?? To be fully alive is a stupendous struggle! We want the rewards without the struggle--- ---a fatal error! ...No such thing as an easy life! Everybody has a hard time...struggle or die! To find out what's really going on it's necessary to get around the ego..an art requiring persistent and determined effort...Me, me, me...myself & I...oh no!!! Trapped in my stupid self!
 * From his sketchbook (28 March 1998), reproduced in The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 372

 * I never had a strategy in my dealing with other humans! I've always been very passive socially. I went along with their agenda. I had none of my own! Left to my own devices I stayed in my room or wandered aimlessly in the streets, fantasizing about bizarre things I yearned to do to big ladies, or filled with self-pity and resentment. I was helpless in the presence of other people! My main concern was to make them like me by being as agreeable as possible, and secondly to impress them with my brilliance, my sharp wit, my originality, and my fundamental saintliness. Over time, and after years—decades—of diligent practice, I became very good at this cute little performance of mine. But this performance was improvised in the moment, catered to suit whoever I happened to be with. There was no strategy. It was always an effort. Only in solitude was I completely relaxed. Funny thing...
 * From his sketchbook (16 February 1998), reproduced in The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 380

 * I'm such a negative person, and always have been. Was I born that way? I don't know. I am constantly disgusted by reality, horrified and afraid. I cling desperately to the few things that give me some solace, that make me feel good. I hate most of humanity. Though I might be very fond of particular individuals, humanity in general fills me with contempt and despair. I hate most of what passes for civilization. I hate the modern world. For one thing there are just too goddamn many people. I hate the hordes, the crowds in their vast cities, with all their hateful vehicles, their noise, their constant meaningless comings and goings. I hate cars. I hate modern architecture. Every building built after 1955 should be torn down! I despise modern popular music. Words cannot express how much it gets on my nerves—the false, pretentious, smug assertiveness of it. I hate business, having to deal with money. Money is one of the most hateful inventions of the human race. I hate the commodity culture, in which everything is bought and sold. No stone is left unturned. I hate the mass media, and how passively people suck it up. … I hate having to eat, shit, maintain the body—I hate my body. … Nature is horrible. It's not cute and lovable. It's kill or be killed. … How I hate the courting ritual! I was always repelled by my own sex drive, which in my youth, never left me alone. … I hate the way the human psyche works, the way we are traumatized and stupidly imprinted in early childhood and have to spend the rest of our lives trying to overcome these infantile mental fixations. And we never fully succeed in this endeavor. I hate organized religions. I hate governments. It's all a lot of power games played out by ambition-driven people, and foisted on the weak, the poor, and on children. Most humans are bullies. Adults pick on children. Older children pick on younger children. Men bully women. The rich bully the poor. People love to dominate. I hate the way humans worship power—one of the most disgusting of all human traits. I hate the human tendency toward revenge and vindictiveness. I hate the way humans are constantly trying to trick and deceive one another, to swindle, cheat, and take unfair advantage of the innocent, the naïve and the ignorant. I hate all the vacuous, false, banal conversation that goes on among people. Sometimes I feel suffocated. I want to flee from it. For me, to be human is, for the most part, to hate what I am. When I suddenly realize that I am one of them, I want to scream in horror.
 * "The Litany of Hate" in The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 386.

 * As a matter of survival I've created this anti-hero alter-ego, a guy in an ill-fitting suit—part humunculus and part clown. Yep, that's me alright … I could never relate to heroes. I have no interest in drawing heroic characters. It's not my thing, man. I'm more inclined toward the sordid underbelly of life. I find it more interesting to draw grotesque, lurid, or absurd pictures, and I especially enjoy depicting my fevered sexual obsessions.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 393

 * My work has a strong negative element. I have my own inner demons to deal with. Drawing is a way for me to articulate things inside myself that I can't otherwise grasp. What I don't want to do, what I dread more than anything, is to leave a legacy of crap. I don't want my work to be tossed in the dustbin of history, and become more of the second rate, mediocre junk that future connoisseurs will have to move out of the way so they can get at the good stuff.
 * The R. Crumb Handbook by Robert Crumb and Peter Poplaski (2005), p. 394

 * Killing yourself is a major commitment, it takes a kind of courage. Most people just lead lives of cowardly desperation. It's kinda half suicide where you just dull yourself with substances.
 * "Simon Hattenston talks to Robert Crumb", The Guardian, 7 March 2005.

 * When I come up against the real world, I just vacillate.
 * "Simon Hattenston talks to Robert Crumb", The Guardian, 7 March 2005.

 * I knew I was weird by the time I was four. I knew I wasn't like other boys. I knew I was more fearful. I didn't like the rough and tumble most boys were into. I knew I was a sissy.
 * "Simon Hattenston talks to Robert Crumb", The Guardian, 7 March 2005.

 * I wasn’t that passionate about it [the radical counterculture]. I agreed with it, but at the political demonstrations I would get very nervous when people started chanting in unison. I didn’t like that. I usually disliked those smash-the-state kind of guys, even though I agreed politically with them. I took LSD, I said “groovy” and “far-out,” but I was kind of a detached observer.
 * "R. Crumb, The Art of Comics No. 1", The Paris Review, Summer 2010, No. 193.

 * I was taking LSD periodically, every couple of months. I was in a strange state of mind, influenced by these visions. … I was trying to draw it in my sketchbook, and that began to coalesce into these comic strips that were stylistically based on grotesque, vulgar humor comics of the thirties and forties. … All of those characters came out of that crazy visionary period that I couldn’t shut off. It was spontaneous, but I was so crazy, I was really out of my mind, it was like schizophrenia. It was like what produces art by crazy people in a madhouse. Anything could be an influence, anything I heard. I was in Chicago in early ’66 and the radio was on, there was some tune playing, it was a black station, and this announcer said, That was Mr. Natural. I just started drawing Mr. Natural, this bearded guru-type character in my sketchbook, it just came out.
 * "R. Crumb, The Art of Comics No. 1", The Paris Review, Summer 2010, No. 193.

 * For a while I was most well known for that [the Janis Joplin album cover], and for “Keep on Truckin’.” That was a drawing that came out of LSD trips, and the words came from a Blind Boy Fuller song from 1935. I drew it in my sketchbook and then for Zap. It sort of caught the popular imagination. It became a horrible popular thing.
 * "R. Crumb, The Art of Comics No. 1", The Paris Review, Summer 2010, No. 193.

 * I was never as cocksure again after that first LSD inspiration. Especially with fame and reputation. You become very uncertain, you have to follow your own act. I never did get that kind of spontaneous cocksureness back again. It’s like going from being the observer to the observed. I had been used to being invisible when I was young. After I became well-known, it was very hard to be anonymous in the world. Of course, at first I liked all the attention. Suddenly, good-looking girls were interested in me! Wow! I couldn’t believe it.
 * "R. Crumb, The Art of Comics No. 1", The Paris Review, Summer 2010, No. 193.

 * I’m an outsider. I will always be an outsider.

About

 * As a woman with a big ass, I’ve always liked Robert Crumb. Those who are familiar with Crumb’s art only in passing will know him for the big, sturdy, sexualized women he drools over in his comics. “Nice big legs!” one drawing reads, next to an arrow pointing to some nice, big legs. Crumb draws himself as a paltry little nerd, sometimes clinging to the legs of an enormous woman, his eyes hidden completely behind bottle-bottom glasses. Flecks of saliva tend to fly across the paradigmatic Crumb page.

 * Crumb’s comics are, to be frank, kind of sexist. He has also at times used racist imagery in his comics, to satirical but nonetheless unpleasant effect. The goddesses he manufactures are powerful but they’re not human. They’re iron buttocks, straining shirts. But Kominsky-Crumb is a person, and she draws through the experience of being desired by and desiring Robert Crumb. In this sense, the show is engaging and delightful but also, in a mutual kind of way, redemptive.

 * Professor Nebulous: We've searched KENT H.Q. from top to bottom; no cranny unexamined, no nook unlooked-in.
 * Harry: If there was a secret listening device, we'd have found it by now!
 * Professor Nebulous: I felt sure we'd been penetrated by a bugger... I had this... tingling feeling.

 * Professor Nebulous: Doctor Klench is chap who came to a crossroads in life and took a turning marked evil. He put his foot to the accelerator and he’s not stopping. Not for pedestrians, not for a picnic, not for a toilet break, not… I’m drifting.

Episode 1: Holofile 023: The Deptford Wives

 * Professor Nebulous: We haven't seen slaughter like this since the Notting Hill Carnivore.

 * Rory: 50ccs of truthpromptizol straight into his cerebral artery. He'll be singing like a mutant yoghurt.

 * Professor Nebulous: Interesting... Almost too interesting...

 * Dr Diplodocus: Over the years I've learned to plough my own furrow and not to listen to the naysayers.
 * Paula: What, you mean horses?

 * Paula: [sound of a distant roar] What was that?
 * Professor Nebulous: I can't be certain, of course, but I think it was an unearthly roar.

 * Professor Nebulous: They're just clones. When you've seen them all you've seen one.

 * Professor Nebulous: I want you to listen to me very... very... s-l-o-w-l-y.

 * Professor Nebulous: As I anticipated, it's working better than I thought.

Episode 2: Holofile 993: The Buzzing

 * Rory:There's an old-fashioned country pub up the road with a thatched dome. Shall we go and knock back a few bevvies?
 * Professor Nebulous: Rory, it's 10 o'clock in the morning!
 * Rory: Got a watch, thanks.

 * Professor Nebulous: It might be murder. Or it could be something more sinister.

 * Professor Nebulous: As I anticipated this is far beyond anything I expected.

 * Professor Nebulous: Can't you see? Honey, wax, pollen, it all points to one thing.
 * Rory: Yeah. Rag week.

 * Professor Nebulous: I'd say they were roughly the size of a cricket ball swollen to twice it's normal size.

 * Paula: Look, they're heading into that strange installation.
 * Rory: You know, I've never trusted strange installations.

 * Gemini: Incoming report [...] Fatality in the Westminster Invert-o-dome.
 * Paula: Just the basic facts please Gemini.
 * Gemini: Man. Dead.

 * Taron: Insects are the most industrious creatures on Earth... with the exception of the Bricklayer Owl.

 * Taron: I do hope I'm not boring you.
 * Rory: [under his breath] Hope away.

 * Professor Nebulous: The Pollen Project? What's that? Some kind of... special... thing?

 * Professor Nebulous: Mother Nature is a finely-balanced chess game which walks a narrow tightrope on a knife-edge!

 * Professor Nebulous: I'd say they were the size of a slightly deflated beachball as seen through a large magnifying glass.

 * Professor Nebulous: The Withering has already occasioned many disturbing mutations. The hammer-head pony, the dogerpillar... [with evident distaste] bananas in pyjamas.

 * Professor Nebulous: Roughly the size of a three-storey dome shrunk down to the size of a double-decker heli-coach a foot taller than it should be.

 * Professor Nebulous: Rory and I shall break into HIVE under cover of afternoon, and... Wait. Better make it under cover of early evening. It'll be getting dark. No. Hang on. How about under cover of night. Then it'll be even darker.

 * Taron: The land and zzky shall turn black with insectzzzz. Apart from the... red bitzz where... the ladybirdzzz... are.

 * Rory: You know prof, there's a flaw in this plan.
 * Professor Nebulous: There's several. It's a floorplan.

 * Professor Nebulous: Failurisation is not in my vocabulary.

 * Professor Nebulous: Weapons are the last resort of the unarmed man.

 * Professor Nebulous: Don't be so childish, Rory.
 * Rory: I'm not being childish. You big poo head.

 * Professor Nebulous: Sounds like... equipment being smashed. Could it be retro-luddites living for futuristic nostalgia kicks?
 * Rory: What do you mean?
 * Professor Nebulous: I'm... not entirely sure.

 * Professor Nebulous: She's no more responsible for her actions than the drunkard who desires a kebab.

 * Rory: Hurry, prof! She's got the strength of one and a half women!

 * Professor Nebulous: Please, you must see reason, at least on a casual basis.

 * Professor Nebulous: You can no more live without your skin than a park-keeper can survive without tutting.

 * Professor Nebulous: Oh well. When the final end came, at least the men of Kent went down waving Sunday supplements in the air.

 * Professor Nebulous: Thou shalt not suffer a mutant to live. Unless they've got something useful, say, shovel hands, a beer bottle opening belly button, or free-standing genitalia.

Episode 3: Holofile 316: I, Nebulous

 * Rory: There were some [protesters] here earlier but they were dispersed with a shoving gas, then genetically mollified.

 * Professor Nebulous: But what are you doing here? It's invite only. Intrudulators get their heads kicked in. This is a peace conference after all.

 * Professor Nebulous: As I anticipated, I might have guessed.

 * Klench: You're going to help me. Help... to death!

 * Rory: Still no sign of the prof?
 * Paula: No, he's still not answering his mobile.
 * Harry: Or his pager. Or his digital ear trumpet.

 * Paula: I am not simplistic, and anyone who says I am is... a bad person.

 * Rory: It's the Sentient Candle of Luxembourg. He's... snuffed it.

 * Professor Nebulous (in Klench's body): Believe me, he'll double-cross you soon. And if not soon, then soon-ish, or later. And if not later then a while later or not long after that, and if not then, then... I'm drifting...

 * Professor Nebulous (in Klench's body): Stop! This cannot happen. I've heard enough to know I've heard too much.

 * Rory: Infernons, right, so what do they do? Do they infer things, or not infer things? ... Aaah, they burn things, like inferno...

 * Professor Nebulous (in Klench's body): Quick Rory! Don't let Klench get away!
 * Rory: Don't worry, he's going nowhere. And I'm going with him.

 * Rory: Remember the Sequel Devils? They came back again. And again.
 * Paula: Each time less effective than the last.
 * Harry: What about the Prequeloids? We always knew how they'd end up.

Episode 4: Holofile 767: Destiny Of The Destinoyd

 * Professor Nebulous: Right, Paula. Fire Retro rockets.
 * Paula: Aye aye, Professor.
 * Professor Nebulous: Good. Now fire those more modern-looking rockets.

 * Paula: I'm not an imbecile, despite what that report said. And that poster campaign.
 * Rory: Yeah, sorry about that.

 * Paula: Rory, what do we do?
 * Rory: Mmm, it's probably one of those things that'll sort itself out, isn't it? [sound off: scream of agonising death] Ah.

 * Professor Nebulous: I've carried out a complete autopsy, yet I still can't determine what killed the man in the red top.
 * Harry: Surely it's obvious? His stomach has been slit wide open, and all his organs have been removed!
 * Professor Nebulous: No, that's the autopsy, I did that.

 * Professor Nebulous: [to Harry] Believe me, I'd love to hand this man's vital organs to you in a bucket, but it leans toward unethical.

 * Professor Nebulous: Franibelle's an amazing woman. She's absolutely... er, clever. Clever.
 * Paula: I think clever women are stupid!

 * Professor Nebulous: Got some zero-gravity confetti here. Mixture of feathers and hammers.

 * Harry: We can't interfere with the ignition sequence!
 * Rory: I know, it's had a child-lock fitted.

Episode 5: Holofile 840: Tempus Fugitive

 * Professor Nebulous: I'm afraid as director of KENT I'm unlikely to be allowed a holiday. Even a working holiday. And certainly not right now. [fx: telephone rings, and is picked up]. KENT.
 * Sir Ronald: Sir Ronald Rolands here. I want you to take a holiday -- a working holiday -- right now, in the far distant future.
 * Professor Nebulous: I'm sorry?
 * Sir Ronald: Or perhaps in the far distant past, right now.
 * Professor Nebulous: Sir Ronald, have you gone stark raving paradoxical?

 * Professor Nebulous: Time travel perfected! As I anticipated it's happened sooner than I thought. Time isn't a straight line, you know. It's more like... like a sandwich, with a slice of past, a slice of future, and a rich, creamy filling of now. And a side order of infinity from the salad bar. Then drizzled with virgin pressed olive oil from... I... I'm drifting.
 * Paula: I've met someone in the past! Yesterday in fact!
 * Rory: But surely it's an impossibility. If people could come back from the future, we'd have noticed them. And chased them with guns.
 * Professor Nebulous: Some believe history is littered with evidence of time travellers. Men who came from the future and tried to enlighten us: Da Vinci, Galileo, Barney The Dinosaur.

 * Rory: Who is this Doctor Linda Adnil anyway. Some kind of recluse?
 * Professor Nebulous: Exactly. Her anonymity has made her famous.

 * Paula: Professor, where are we?
 * Professor Nebulous: Apart from 2066, I'm not sure. Let me just check the readings on my understander... Aha. I'm picking up sawdust, greasepaint and over-priced fizzy drinks.
 * Paula: Could it be an undertaker's?

 * Professor Nebulous: What I'm about to do is illogical, unethical and immoral. But it feels right.

 * Harry: Look at the Lindas!
 * Professor Nebulous: They're... recombining.
 * Rory: I hope this is gonna be ok. She's been saying some weird things since we got back.
 * Professor Nebulous: Such as?
 * Harry: "All shall fear me!"
 * Professor Nebulous: Probably just high spirits.
 * Rory: Bollocks. Sir. She could quite easily turn out to be some kind of alien monster from Quadrant 10.
 * Paula: She's growing bigger. And bigger.
 * Linda: [sinister voice] Can you hear me, Nebulous?
 * Professor Nebulous: Er. Yes. Hello!
 * Linda: I am no mere human!
 * Rory: Oop. Told you.
 * Linda: My battleship exploded whilst in orbit around your world, and my being was splintered through time. I am a Lindalusian ultra-warrior from Quadrant 9!
 * Rory: Look, see? See? Told you.
 * Professor Nebulous: No, you said Quadrant 10.

Episode 6: Holofile 644: Last Of The Present Sirius

 * Harry: Has anybody seen the post?
 * Paula: I've just been through it. There wasn't anything for you, Harry.
 * Harry: DAAAAAMMMNNN!
 * Professor Nebulous: Don't worry, Harry! This is Britain -- there'll be another postal delivery next month!

 * Professor Nebulous: As I anticipated, this is worse than I thought.

 * Professor Nebulous: You know, it really isn't necessary for me to be strapped into this chair. Honestly, it's years since I've fallen off a chair.

 * Professor Nebulous: I haven't felt this confused since I was awarded the Edward Woodward Woodwork Award.

Episode 1: Holofile 001: Genesis Of The Aftermath

 * Professor Nebulous: We face excessive peril, bloody violence, and one instance of strong language, so the public doesn't have to. Why, the sheer amount of paranormal activity in the Cardiff area alone is starting to threaten the Earth's plausibility shield!

 * Klench: Come for tea and home-made cakes. I'm at Honey Tree Cottage, 3 Bunny Blossom Lane"
 * Professor Nebulous: This couldn't sound any more sinister.

 * Paula: I'm not irritating. Not not not not not not not not irritating. Not not...

 * Harry: He'd already swapped the Isle of Man with the Isle of Dogs, and nobody seemed to mind. Or notice.

 * Klench: You mean the time-travelling gay and lesbian alliance?
 * Professor Nebulous: The Time-Benders, yes.

 * Professor Nebulous: Wait. Have I the right to alter history? Surely that's the sole province of used car salesmen?

 * Professor Nebulous: As I anticipated this has come right out of the blue.

 * Professor Nebulous: My knowledge is so vast, even I don't understand it all.

 * Klench: Are you quite sure of that?
 * Professor Nebulous: I've never been more quite sure.

Episode 2: Holofile 551: The Past Must Be Destroyed

 * Sir Ronald: Several of Bridgeoxton's most learned lecturers have disappeared.
 * Professor Nebulous: I see.
 * Rory: Did they disappear under straightforward circumstances?
 * Sir Ronald: No, mysterious ones.
 * Rory: Ah. But they did disappear with trace, right?
 * Sir Ronald: No, without trace.
 * Rory: Damn!

 * Paula: I think learning makes people stupid.

 * Professor Nebulous: Petersen, eh? I read his paper "The importance of absolute accuracy" only last year. Or was it the year before? Actually I'm thinking of a different Petersen.

 * person: Excuse me, would you like to sign up for the University Dramatic Society?
 * Harry: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNKKKKKKK!!! YYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

 * Professor Nebulous: I imagine those strange-looking objects are the Tutorianators, eh?
 * Dean Geraldine: Those are radiators. The two scarlet metal monoliths are the Tutorianators.

 * Professor Nebulous: You're a man after my own heart.
 * Harry: That's right. When will you be finished with it?

 * Paula: Wow! What are those amazing-looking objects?
 * Professor Nebulous: Never mind the radiators, look at the scarlet monoliths!

 * Rory: They just vanished into thin air!
 * Professor Nebulous: [childishly] I know, I was watching!

 * Paula: Where is this place?
 * Harry: Well Paula, if I didn't know better, and I don't, I'd say we'd been transported back to pre-historic times, which is bound to be bad for my Agony.
 * Paula: Wait. I'm not so sure this is the past. Look around you! This could quite easily be a modern-day quarry, I don't believe we're in pre-historic times at all.

 * Professor Nebulous: There's still eight and a half things I don't understand. Firstly, why would a Dean transport members of staff back to the time of the dinosaurs? Wait! Is it an exchange trip? Are giant lizards going to start lecturing at the university?

 * Professor Nebulous: As I suspected, this is news to me.

 * Rory: What's happening?
 * Professor Nebulous: The Tutorianators are feeding back on themselves, and it's creating a wormhole in the spacetime contwidlium. I'm guessing obviously, it could be something entirely different.

 * Harry: What happened to all those teachers who were trapped in pre-historic times?
 * Professor Nebulous: I'm afraid they must suffer the worst fate of all. They're working at a Steiner school.

Episode 3: Holofile 013: The Girl With The Liquid Face

 * Sir Ronald: What kept you?
 * Professor Nebulous: Travel by Transmat is highly complex, sir. Our bodies were reduced to billions of molecules, transported here via zeta wave then instantly reassembled. Unfortunately, due to engineering works, a portion of our journey was by special bus.

 * Professor Nebulous: No, Rory, I don't want to resort to the hypno-ray.
 * Rory: [fx] [hypnotic voice] You can't wait to resort to the hypno-ray...
 * Professor Nebulous: Switch that off!

 * Professor Nebulous: Wait! They're completely motionless! Almost too completely motionless!

 * Professor Nebulous: We know humans can drown in as little as two inches of water. Is it so far-fetched to imagine we can drown in no water at all?

 * Professor Nebulous: The real question isn't how did they drown. It's why did they drown? And more importantly, how?

 * Klench: A bubble-bath that attacks the central nervous system. They call it Deci-Matey.

 * Paula: Do you like my one-piece bikini?
 * Professor Nebulous: Er, it's er, super, Paula, but I'll have to insist you wear a second piece on your bottom half.
 * Paula: Only if you promise to help me build a sandcastle!
 * Professor Nebulous: Paula, this is a top secret mission, not some family outing!
 * Harry: Are we nearly there yet?
 * Professor Nebulous: [long-suffering] No.

 * Paula: Didn't you hear my name being chanted by a spectral voice, with a weird effect on it?

 * Professor Nebulous: A fabulous coral city under a huge glass dome! It can only be: Atlantis!
 * Harry: What's that sign say?
 * Professor Nebulous: "The Lost City of S... Sheffield welcomes careful floaters - Atlantis six miles further on."

 * Rory: Right Sir Ronald, a fresh batch of delegates should be transmatting in any time now.
 * Sir Ronald: Remember Mr Lawson, we must make them feel relaxed, and very very important.
 * Rory: I know. I placed a complimentary mint on their chairs. Ooh, and I removed the corpses of the previous delegates. These little things make all the difference.

 * Professor Nebulous: As I anticipated I am completely taken aback.

 * Professor Nebulous: Not a day goes by when I don't regret my error. Except for Saint Amnesia's Day, obviously.

 * Sir Ronald: Nebulous was hurled into a limitless chasm of inexorable doom.
 * Paula: So when do you think he'll be back?

Episode 4: Holofile 959: We, Nebulous

 * Roboscrew: Printing out conviction sheet.
 * Paula: Let me see that [fx: rips]. Four counts of handling counterfeit realities. Three counts of brain rustling. Two counts of time felch.
 * Rory: That all? Not exactly ultra-violence is it?
 * Paula: Six counts of ultra-violence.
 * Rory: Right.
 * Paula: And ultra-drunk, and mega-disorderly conduct.
 * Rory: Ah. And countless counts of counting with illegal numbers. Including efleven, twoteen and sifty-sive.

 * Paula: Isn't setting free all the galaxy's most evil masterminds a teeny bit terrifying?
 * Rory: Mmhm, don't forget I'll still have the hammer.

 * Professor Nebulous: As I anticipated my plan worked better than I expected.

 * Paula: I'm so relieved I could tense up!

 * Rory: I'm not wasting any more time. I'm going to start digging a tunnel with this plastic spoon.

Episode 5: Holofile 011: Rebel Without A Cortex

 * Professor Nebulous: My apologies, Sir Ronald, I'm afraid we took a wrong turning and ended up in Quantumshire.
 * Sir Ronald: Quantumshire?
 * Professor Nebulous: It's just West of East, on the South North border.
 * Paula: We got stuck on the one-way system, going both ways.
 * Rory: Still, the future's lovely there, this time of last year.
 * Harry: I was carsick. In a hat.

 * Paula: What are those canisters for, Professor?
 * Professor Nebulous: They contain something I invented to break the ice at parties: Rumourzol 55 - a gossip gas. But the military want to use it for interrogation work. I say that's highly irresponsible.
 * Rory: Right. So you're dumping it in space.
 * Professor Nebulous: Precisely.

 * Rory: I hate boredom. Much prefer tedium.

 * Professor Nebulous: Rory, under no circumstances are you to visit the prisoners again.
 * Rory: Huh?
 * Professor Nebulous: You're far too suggestible, and I am impeaching your motives. [The Professor leaves the room]
 * Rory: Huh. I am not suggestible. D'you know, I really fancy some peaches.

 * Rory: I like this one bit. In fact, no, I don't like this one bit.

Episode 6: Holofile 703: Us And Phlegm

 * Harry: Afternoon, Rory.
 * Rory: I'd invite you in, but I've got Serious Illness Syndrome.
 * Harry: I know. I've brought you this pill. It contains the pleasure you'd get from a bunch of petrol station flowers. And this is a ticket to a lecture by a man who's actually seen some grapes.
 * Rory: Oh. Someone with a good manners implant will send you a thanks text.

 * Gemini: A giant chalk man has burst from the Shropshire earth, and is dancing to loud blip-hop, public school, and chasm & bass.
 * Professor Nebulous: Seasonal thing. Every third spring the giant chalk man of Shrewsbury rises up for its triannual breakdance. How else can it attract a mate? The giant granite floozy of Stourbridge doesn't go off with just anyone.

 * Rory: Oh, thank Bod that leprosy's over. I'll be as good as new once I've superglued my forearms back on.

 * Harry: Rory! Rory! Can you hear me! Oh my Bod, Rory. Rory! Can you hear me! RORY! Maybe I should take his headphones off. [does so] Rory! Can you hear me!
 * Rory: Yes, don't shout! Just checking out the new Jessica Fahfrahnfrah single "I've got a hideous bunch of coconuts"
 * Harry: I thought you were dying!
 * Rory: I was. I had incurable toxergic plague, but, er, cleared up nicely. So Harry, what are you suffering from at the mo?
 * Harry: I am now experiencing an agony which extends into all infinity... and environs.
 * Rory: Mmm. That sounds like a bit of a faff.

 * Rory: Looks like I've completely run out of Prozac and Crunchy Nut Prozac.
 * Harry: What about this? Thozac - the strongest non-prescription placebo available. You've got hundreds of them!
 * Rory: They were on special offer at the Placebo Gazebo. Oh! Damn! They've gone past their Deceive By date.

 * Nebulous: My brain is like Fire and Ice.
 * Phlegmbian: Your brain is like tepid water?
 * Nebulous: Tepid like the fox! On this world I am known as the oncoming drizzle.

 * Doctor Beep: Death always triumphs in the end. So, I decided to throw my lot in with disease and death. The pay's only so-so but at the end of the day, you know you've made a difference.
 * Professor Nebulous: I see. So you joined the Harmy Army. Then somehow you discovered the Phlegmbians.
 * Doctor Beep: We share the same accountant.
 * Professor Nebulous: And together you're intent on taking over the whole human race. Commencing, for whatever reason, with Great Britain.
 * Doctor Beep: Funnily enough, that's a tax thing.

 * Harry: So how do you feel now?
 * Rory: I feel... pretty good actually. Yeah. Yeah, I feel perfectly normal... I think I've got some tablets for that in the medicine cupboard.

Quotes

 * I was at a point where I was ready to say I am what I am because of what I am and if you like me I'm grateful, and if you don't, what am I going to do about it?
 * Interview on her role in the Broadway play "Two for the Seesaw". The New York Times (1958).

 * There are always good parts. They may not pay what you want, and they may not have as many days' work as you want, they may not have the billing that you want, they may not have a lot of things, but — the content of the role itself — I find there are many roles.
 * Associated Press interview (1997).

 * If there are, let's say, 20 astronauts, there may be two women among those 20 astronauts. If there are 20 FBI guys, there's one woman and the rest are men. So when somebody writes a script about life, usually the leading role will be the man, because mostly what women do is at home taking care of the children...That's the most important job there is on Earth. And why shouldn't women have it since they are the better of the two sexes?
 * Associated Press interview (1997).

 * I don't quite jump for joy, but I am awfully glad to see him.
 * On her husband Mel Brooks Associated Press interview (1997).

 * First of all, you have to marry the right person. If you marry the wrong person for the wrong reasons, then no matter how hard you work, it's never going to work, because then you have to completely change yourself, completely change them, completely — by that time, you're both dead. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons, and marry the right person.
 * On successful marriage. Associated Press interview (1997).

 * He understands not only with his brain but with his heart. And that might be called love. Not quite sure, but maybe that's the key.
 * On her husband Mel Brooks Associated Press interview (1997).

 * I identified with both women. But Emma had a stronger message for the women I want to speak to now— women who work. I wanted to tell them that choosing to work doesn't make them oddballs and isn't antisocial.
 * On her decision to play Emma, in The Turning Point (1977). Interview People magazine, quoted in "Anne Bancroft" at Salon.com (18 September 2001).

 * I am quite surprised, that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about The Miracle Worker. We're talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world... I'm just a little dismayed that people aren't beyond it yet.
 * Interview (2003).

 * To this day, when men meet me, there's always that movie in the back of their mind.
 * On The Graduate, "Anne Bancroft Finds Her Own Way Back", interview with Peter Marks in the New York Times (17 February 2002).

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