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 Whopper. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Whopper~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 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Please leave the newest comments at the top. And please feel free to say anything and everything on your mind. (I'm an optimal confidant because I'm usually too lazy too open my mouth.) Then again, this is a public userpage, so don't go to overboard in unloading your secrets on me.

Thanks Jeff. I'm definetly enjoying the welcome I got here more than the one I got at Wikipedia (none). I'm looking forward to getting more involved in this site, as quotations are something that I really enjoy. Picaroon9288 01:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Articles about people
I notice you've been creating a lot of stub articles for various people. When you create an article for a person, you should also try to include a brief introduction (a sentence or two, usually with a link to Wikipedia) to provide a little information on who the person is and, where applicable, what some of their contributions have been (for example, for an author, a mention of their famous book or books). This also makes it easier for other people to add other quotes for a person, because they know exactly which person the page is about, which is helpful when several people share the same name, and it's not clear which one a page is about. Thanks. —LrdChaos 03:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Haim Ginott

Haim G. Ginott (originally Ginzburg; 5 August 1922 – 4 November 1973) was a clinical psychologist, child therapist, educator, and author of several books on the relationships between children and adults, especially teachers.

Quotes

 * Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.
 * Quoted in Practical Parenting Tips By Vicki Lansky, p. 190

 * Treat a child as though he already is the person he's capable of becoming.
 * Quoted in Gently And Firmly By C.P. Varkey, p. 87

 * I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, a child humanized or de-humanized.
 * Quoted in Fair isn't always equal: assessing & grading in the differentiated classroom By Rick Wormeli, p. 9

 * Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task.
 * Ginott, H. G. (1972). Teacher and child. New York: Macmillan.

Oi, I answered your question on the reference desk where is my cash? Better had add a smilely <-% so you don't think I'm demanding money with menaces MeltBanana 00:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the help with the R. Turnbull quote. While I'm sure that wasn't the book I got it from, it is without a doubt, the original source.

 * I plead 'youthful ignorance' on the charge of not properly documenting sources when I added it to my collection. I was about 14yrs old at the time! I know better now :-)  - Versageek 06:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't feel too foolish about not thinking of sourcing, Versageek. Renowned author and business maven Laurence J. Peter (of "Peter Principle" fame) hadn't learned this lesson after nearly six decades when he published Peter's Quotations, his own collection of useful quotes from many sources. Unfortunately, this is the norm outside of the formal quote dictionaries like Bartlett's Famous Quotations and The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, which Wikiquote strives to emulate (and improve upon). I'm happy to see you and MeltBanana on board with the need for proper sourcing. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

same quote in two places?

 * I want to take the R.Turnbull quote I had asked about on the Reference Desk and actually add it to Wikiquote. It's about both Doubt & Faith (but not necessarily religion, although the source is a book about religion). Can I add it to both topic pages, or should I just add it to one of them? Or is there a better way? - Versageek 17:45, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd put it in both "Doubt" and "Faith", as they're both appropriate. Themes can overlap sometimes, and quotes can involve more than one on occasion. Also, since theme quotes should be from notable people and works, most of them will probably be in the person or work's article, too.

I wouldn't put it into "Religion" for two reasons: (1) inclusion in theme articles isn't based on the source, and (2) "Religion" has quite enough material just addressing explicit mentions of religion. If we included everything that had an implicit connection, the religion articles would become encyclopedias of their own. ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps is a comedy produced by the BBC.

Fags, Shags and Kebabs [1.1]

 * Donna: No, I'm fine with porn - what I'm not fine with is enough porn to keep the entire British forces from missing their girlfriends!

 * Janet: I got into his head. It's amazing what a bit of male psychological manipulation can do. And getting my baps out on the first date didn't do any harm either.

 * Jonny: (Waking up) Rock me, Amadeus.

 * Gaz: I am the master of cunning.

Spunk [1.2]

 * Donna: [to Gaz] There is to be no dumping. I just think you've got a nice body and I'd like to bounce around on top of it occasionally. None of this boyfriendy girlfriendy stuff.

 * Flo: Don't be late, I'm making take-away for tea!

 * Gaz: I'm laying down the seeds for my reign of power over Donna. See, the more I don't phone her the more desperate and insecure she becomes, soon she will surrender to my constant demand for sexual gratification.

 * Gaz: (In the pub, holding a steak and kidney pie) Who invented the pie? I mean what a genius. 'Cause you've got the subtle flavour of the steak, mixed with the texture of the finest kidney, and all that against the magnificent backdrop of the crumbly buttery pastry. If that man was here now I'd shake his hand.

 * Jonny: I'd kiss him.

 * Gaz: You big poof!

Bone With the Wind [1.3]

 * Louise: I need to know if he fancies me, because quite frankly my late-night Sting fantasies are wearing a bit thin; it's always the same plot.

 * Gaz: Women don't cheat on me. I'm just so pretty.

 * Gaz: Why are we sitting here while our women are sucking the fat out of someone else's sausage?!

Angry Wangry [1.4]

 * Jonny: My brain is only strong enough to stop me from farting in front of you.

 * Flo: Your girlfriend's mother is the biggest taboo of all.

Lard [1.5]

 * Gaz: I need a sort of chunky woman, you know, who brings me sandwiches and puts Matey in me bath.

 * Jonny: You taste of lard!

 * Janet: "Louise, you have the morals of a magpie who haunts the same gene pool as Adolf Hitler and Anthea Turner"

''

Ugly Babies [1.6]

 * Jonny: I thought you kept the alcohol level in your blood too high to conceive.

 * Louise: You've never practiced safe sex in your life. You've picked up more dirt than a JCB in your time.

 * Louise: Don't you know how much babies cost? More than a Peugeot!

 * Gaz: We got our women pregnant at the same time. We've got telepathic testicles.

 * Jonny: My daughter will want for nothing. She'll have dollies-a-plenty. And bears but no clowns, they scare me. And on a perfect summer's eve, when the sun dances like... Michael Flatley... after our dinner of spaghetti hoops, we shall run like Billy-ho himself, down to a sea so calm it would make Des Lynam look like a big, scary wolfman. She will be the most cherished little girl in the whole world. My little Ferrari.
 * Janet: Jonny, I'm not Pregnant.
 * Jonny: Thank fuck for that!

 * Gaz: Pissing outside is one of life's greatest pleasures.

 * Gaz: Well what? Is it me? Do I repulse you? Look, I can stop yelling, "Tina Arena you will be mine" at the moment of climax.

 * Gaz: What is a hulk anyway?
 * Jonny: I’m not sure. I think it’s a cross between hunk and bulk. Of course, you can’t have The Incredible Hunk, 'cos that just sounds like gay porn.
 * Gaz: Yeah, and you can’t have The Incredible Bulk...'cos that just sounds like gay porn.

On the Blob [2.1]

 * Gaz: [to Donna] I've never asked you this before and it seems a bit stupid since we've been shagging each other's brains out for the last month but… would you like to go for a drink sometime?

 * Flo: They may have a sneeze guard but it's no match for embryotic fluid!

 * Donna: Now, let me think. When did I last see my own clout?

Bungle [2.2]

 * Flo: You two should never talk. You've got one of them relationships based on lust and you must never lose that.

Dirty Girls [2.3]

 * Flo: Apparently it’s illegal to advertise yourself in phone boxes. Ask me why, I don’t know. British Telecom do it.

 * Janet: We have some spare va va voom in the kitchen if you want to borrow it.

Vomit [2.4]

 * Gaz: Donna, you look... beautiful; would you like to be my pop tart and live in my toaster of love?

Crusty Curtains [2.5]

 * Gaz: There's no such thing as a perfect couple. Well, except Chris Evans and Billie. Sat there getting pissed with an 18-year-old every day. How perfect is that?

Mo Mo and Pigsy [2.6]

 * Gaz: [motivating himself] You are Gaz Wilkinson. A beast of a man. You are strong. You are confident. You are Gaz Wilkinson. And girls want to touch you.

Munch [3.1]

 * Gaz: [About Munch] He's a complete yoghurt!

 * Munch: I wasn't watching. I was listening, with my eyes.

 * Munch: I stole it, Munch Magic!

Fish [3.2]

 * Gaz: I am your prince and I shall awaken you with my mighty sword.

 * Donna: You're scared of sheep?! That's stupid; they can't hurt you.
 * Gaz: That's what they want you to think!

 * Gaz: You didn't know I was afraid of sheep; I didn't know you were afraid of sex.

 * Jonny: I don't want to be standing by the altar with you an iron lung coughing blood and phlegm at me!

 * Louise: [sniffing the card her secret admirer sent her] Who do I know who smells of paper?

Kangaroo [3.3]

 * Jonny: She's a funny one is Janet, she'll do anything, things that even I find disgusting. She does things with a cucumber you wouldn't believe.
 * Gaz: Oh yeah, like what?
 * Jonny: This one time, I walked into the bedroom and she was lying on the bed with with cucumber slices on her eyes and mud on her face, she's pure dirt!

 * Jonny: I can do anything, like a panda.

 * Louise: I will neither play or be playant of the games and or gaming tactics employed by both sexes in accordance with the laws set by herself, Mother Nature.

Beastiality [3.4]

 * Munch:They can't do you for it once you've robbed it. It's called Double Geoffrey.

 * Janet: You're gonna marry me whether you like it or not and it's gonna be friggin' marvellous, okay?!
 * Jonny: You know, I think my proposal was better. Yours was just rude.

Dresses Dresses Dresses [3.6]

 * Gaz: [to Donna, who is asleep] [In New York accent] Wake up and smell the caw-fee!
 * Donna: oh, Gaz, I was having the best dream ever then.
 * Gaz: Was it about me, the Sugababes and loads of coal?
 * Donna: No, I dreamt I was asleep.
 * Gaz: Yeah, and?
 * Donna: Yeah, that was it, I was asleep, and then this stupid monkey came in and said [in New York accent] "Wake up and smell the caw-fee!"

 * Louise: [to David, when he tells her to do some T'ai Chi with him] Ok, but don't expect me to join your cult.
 * David: ...it's not a cult.
 * Louise: That's what the Britannia Music Club said.

 * Jonny: [to Janet, about her excitement about her dress] You don't see me and Gaz jumping around going "ooh, Look at my fancy new pants! They cost me a month's wages and I'm never wearing them again, hooray!"

 * Jonny: Well, I know Gaz wouldn't pay a fortune for something that he could only use once and think it was great.
 * Janet: What about when he lost his virginity to Dirty Lil?
 * Jonny: That wasn't a month's wages, it was two cans of White Lightning.

 * Jonny: All I'm saying is if you pay a bomb for something, it needs to be used and used and used again until it breaks. Like Gareth Gates.

 * Jonny: Janet, look at me. I'm a lost and lonely man, And I'm all alone in a- sea of nothing, with, with like, nothingness all around me, like a big lonely tyre.
 * Janet: Look, here's twenty quid--
 * Jonny: [Snatching the note] --off you pop!
 * [Janet leaves, Jonny picks up the phone.]
 * Jonny: Gaz, pub!
 * [Transition shows Donna and Louise meet up]
 * Donna and Louise: Dresses, Dresses, Dresses!
 * [Transition then shows Gaz running out of his flat]
 * Gaz: Pub, Pub, Pub, Pub!

 * [Inside the Wedding dress shop, Louise enters in Janet's chosen wedding dress]
 * Donna: [Gasp] You look like a sweet!
 * Louise: ...a sweet what?
 * Donna: No, just a sweet, like a Campino, or a truffle. Better than that, you look like a toilet roll cover!
 * Louise: Thank you!
 * Janet: That's a wedding dress...

 * Donna: Well, why don't we [Louise and Donna] try a dress on each for fun, and then you can dress us however you like, like lobsters, or like Pig-women if need be.
 * Louise: I'm not dressing like pig-woman. She was my least favourite Spice Girl.

 * Donna: [Singing to the tune of the wedding march, holding Louise's dress train] Bah-rum-da-dah Bah-rum-da-dah Look at Louise in the lovely, lovely dress

 * Jonny: You take it the rest of the way.
 * Gaz: I would but...
 * Jonny: But what?
 * Gaz: Well, I've...I've broke me arm [sic]
 * [Jonny looks at him skeptically]
 * Gaz: Well, it's not broke, it's...
 * Jonny: Well, use your other arm!
 * Gaz: No way!
 * Jonny: Why not?
 * Gaz: 'Cos it's the arm I use for pleasuring myself... and others.
 * Gaz: Hey, I'll coach you, eh? ... Come on!
 * Jonny: Christ. I'm only taking it as far as the garage.
 * Gaz: [Drill Sergeant Style] Carrying beer's what Jon does best, hoo! hoo! His keg's bigger than all the rest...
 * Jonny: You twat.
 * Gaz: [resuming his Drill Sergeant's chant] He may or may not be wearing a vest...
 * Jonny: Oh, my God.
 * Gaz:And now I'm going to think of Jo Guest, Jo Guest, one, two, Big Breasts, Three-four!

 * [Janet is in the wedding shop, trying to preoccupy Louise and Donna so she can find her dress. She calls Donna and Louise over.]

 * [Donna and Louise come out in their dresses.]

...
 * Donna: [reg. Janet] She's mad! What's her first dance going to be? "Agadoo?"
 * Louise: No, she'll choose something about Jonny, like "Johnny B Goode" or "Jilted John".
 * Donna: Ooh, that's clever!
 * Louise: ...Or "Jonny Put Your Shoes Back On, You're Making Me Retch."
 * Donna: No, I don't know that one.
 * Louise: It's the one I hum to myself whenever I see him.

 * Donna: Do you think we should tell Janet we hate the dresses?
 * Louise: Um... she's nearly broken me twice this year, merely by looking at me funny.
 * Donna: Looking at your what?

 * Bridal Woman: [Grabbing Janet in her dress around the waist and breasts] That dress is just womanliness gone mad!
 * Janet: Are you sure you're on commission, and not just coming onto me?
 * Bridal Woman: You are stunning...

 * [Gaz is about to open the keg of beer]
 * Gaz: Right, I'm gonna shove it in the hole, you catch what squirts out.
 * Jonny: Don't use language like that, not in a male environment.
 * Gaz: Jonny, d'you want some beer, or d'you want a big, fat smack?

 * Gaz: No it can't be...it's a new type of beer this Jon, woo-hoo.

 * Gaz: It's absolutely delicious!
 * Jonny: Honest? Honest, is that beer? They must put the brown in afterwards!
 * [Jonny drinks the blue beer]
 * Jonny: [after a beat] ...It's barrel wash, Gaz.
 * Gaz: I know, I thought we should die together.

Episode 1 [2.1]

 * [Guy has brought a kitten in Mac’s room. He then takes out a gun and points it at the kitten.]
 * Guy: Wake up, or the kitty gets it. [Pause, followed by the kitten meowing quietly, then he talks to the kitten.] You said it would work.

 * Caroline: Guy, did you take a cat and a gun into Mac’s ward?
 * Guy: It was a replica.
 * Caroline: [Gasps] You brought in a replica cat?
 * Guy: [slowly] A replica gun.
 * Caroline: You're trying to get fully reinstated, how stupid can you be?
 * Guy: Not stupid enough to ask whether or not someone has brought in a replica cat.

 * Martin is puzzled about Guy's choice of lunch
 * Martin: You don't like curry.
 * Guy: No. Ah, not usually, no. But it's Ramadan! [waves the curry under the noses of two nurses] A time for fasting. Yum yum yum! Smells so good!
 * Nurse: We're Hindu, you nipple!

Episode 2 [2.2]

 * Angela: Just tell him what happened.
 * Caroline: He might not believe me. I’ve got no witnesses.
 * Angela: Well, if he knows his minds gone a bit…blurrg…so just tell him.
 * Caroline: Oh right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hi Mac, I’m er, I’m Caroline. You know, the one you found a bit irritating at first, but then er…well, the thing is you really, really liked me and now we’re kind of a couple. So, there you go, I’ve filled in all the gaps, let’s go to bed.
 * Angela: Well, maybe in not so many words.

 * [At an internal tribunal.]
 * Charles: Isn’t there something else you’d like to say?
 * Guy: Err…I don’t think so?
 * Sue: What’s the magic word?
 * Guy: Abracadabra?
 * Charles: How do you normally express your gratitude to somebody?
 * Guy: You want a tip? Is that ethical?

 * Caroline: Look, we’re all back!
 * Mac: Yeah, but I don’t really remember who you are?
 * Guy: Well, as long you remember in what order to put the organs back in in.
 * Mac: What an odd thing to say say. [Mac has a scalpel in his hand, and starts waving it around.] A one, a two, a one, two, three, four.
 * Caroline: Yeah, I’m actually a little bit worried now.
 * Mac: Wuss.
 * Guy: Oooh…no! Not like that! Don’t hold it like that. Oh my God, the man’s a butcher. Be careful with that bit, that’s the bit they need to…eat asparagus. They won’t be able to eat asparagus if you cut that bit out.

 * [Guy and Mac’s top five qualities in a woman, to Caroline.]
 * Guy: Five qualities, that’s easy. Number one, bendy.
 * Mac: Unpredictable.
 * Guy: Number two, shaved.
 * Mac: Must appreciate the genius of the Kinks.
 * Guy: Number three, slightly anorexic.
 * Mac: Thoughtful eyes.
 * Guy: Four, about sort of 5% lesbian.
 * Mac: Should be in touch with her masculine side.
 * Guy: And finally, mustn’t be too smelly in the cellar.
 * Mac: Compassionate.
 * Guy: [Disgusted] Ugh…So what you’ve come up with is an unpredictable, yet compassionate, slightly masculine, Kinks fan... with eyes?
 * Mac: I know. It’s an impossible dream.
 * Guy: [to Caroline as they leave] In the cellar. Down below...

Episode 3 [2.3]

 * [Harriet rushes into the office.]
 * Harriet: Oh, sorry I’m late. The kids.
 * Kim: Took forever to get ready?
 * Harriet: Yeah, and the traffic.
 * Rachel: Terrible?
 * Harriet: Wasn’t it. Then I had to stop off at… [She opens her bag, and a cat comes out of it.] Oh. Well who did I leave at the vets then?

 * Caroline: I’m just saying it’s a male dominated workplace.
 * Guy: Bollocks!
 * Caroline: I’ve got a few other points you can prove for me if you like.
 * Guy: It’s not male dominated, there are bloody women everywhere.
 * Mac: Hmm…crunching underfoot everywhere they walk.
 * Guy: Yeah. Have you ever paid for a woman to walk on you? I have. It’s pointless. Really hurts.
 * Caroline: Wow, it’s like working with Germaine Greer.

 * Joanna: Right, what have we got? Anything?
 * Kim: Oh wait, there’s a complaints file.
 * Joanna: I knew it! [They open the file. A pop-up paper set of flowers comes up from the file. Both scream at the sight.] Oh damn, she’s good.

 * Sue: Do I look like a mug? Have I got a handle? Am I made of china? Am I kept in a cupboard or on a small wooden tree? Would you like to put your lips on my rim? You may answer that question, the others were rhetorical.
 * Angela: This is the chance of a lifetime. If it doesn’t happen now, it may never happen!
 * Sue: Are we still on the rim thing?

 * Martin: Yeah, Guy said he’d be phoning the gays.

Episode 4 [2.4]

 * Guy: [To Caroline] You’ve got paperclips stuck to your hand.
 * Caroline: Have I? [Caroline lifts up her left hand. There are paperclips stuck to it.] Oh, must be a full moon; my hand goes magnetic.

 * Caroline: Swiss mouth, shut!

 * Caroline has reluctantly agreed to let Guy move into her spare room
 * Mac: A sabot, or sa-bot, was a kind of wooden clog worn by impoverished French workers, and as a protest against the Jacquard loom-- which they thought would take away their jobs-- they'd throw their sabots-- or wooden clogs-- into the delicate machinery to destroy its workings, from which we get the modern word sabotage.
 * Guy: Yeah, alright. Now you've harshed my buzz, have you got a point?
 * Mac: Well, if your plan to move in with Caroline is, in any way, an attempt to sabotage our relationship, I will hit you in the fucking face with a big wooden clog.

Episode 5 [2.5]

 * [Mac and Caroline are ready to kiss]
 * Guy: Can you get a verruca on your penis?
 * Caroline: I can’t, can you?
 * Mac: Never tried, pretty good at most parlour games though.

 * Alan: Not really.
 * [Joanna takes Alan’s notebook and reads it herself.]
 * Joanna: “Damaged heron.” Somehow that’s worse.
 * Alan: Give it here.
 * Joanna: No, that’s going to the same place as my cousin.
 * Alan: Oh that’s terrific, where am I supposed to jot down my useful ideas?
 * Joanna: On your knob end? You wouldn’t need a huge amount of space will you? Oh here’s a useful idea for you, don’t kill dwarfs with herons.

Episode 7 [2.7]

 * [Sue is kissing the ventriloquist's dummy.]
 * Sue: Live, damn you, live!
 * Dummy: Fuck off! Save yourself for Dr. Macartney.
 * Sue: Yeah, I know you're right, you're right; but, Mac and Holly...what are we going to do?
 * Dummy: Destroy her!
 * Sue: Yes, good, how?
 * Dummy: Leave it to me.

 * Alan: Let’s have sex.
 * Joanna: We have to keep away from each other!
 * Alan: Let’s have sex separately.

 * Mac: I think my son's hair is dyed.
 * Martin: Oh, right. Well, have you checked to see whether his collar and cuffs match?
 * Mac: Martin, he's four years old.
 * Martin: Yeah, I know.
 * Mac: But if it is dyed, do you see what that means? Do you see what that implies?
 * Martin: Means he's probably quite vain about his appearance? Oh my God! He's gay!

Episode 8 [2.8]

 * Guy: [As Caroline takes a towel and wipes the mirror without reading the message.] No!
 * Caroline: What?
 * Guy: You spoilt it.
 * Caroline: [Brushing her teeth] Spoilt what?
 * Guy: The mirror, I'd written in it.
 * Caroline: Really.
 * Guy: Yes.
 * Caroline: Wrote what?
 * Guy: It doesn’t matter now, but if you must know it was, 'I love you.'
 * Caroline: You bloody narcissist!

 * Mac: All I’m saying is that you’ll never be a one-woman man.
 * Guy: That’s rubbish, I am.
 * Mac: Are you?
 * Guy: Yeah.
 * Mac: What about that new blonde girl in ENT, nice or what?
 * Guy: Not interested.
 * Mac: Not interested?
 * Guy: No. No, I’ve changed.
 * Mac: Oh great. What about Graham in dermatology
 * Guy: Changed as in, “I think I’m ready for commitment.”
 * Mac: Fantastic. I’ll sign your commitment papers for you today.

The Secret Policeman's Ball Sketch

 * Mac: You look a bit like a fairy.
 * Guy: [Points to Mac and Sue] Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot. That's the introductions out of the way.
 * Sue: Really? Who's this, then? [Get up off the gurney and talks to the patient] Oh, no, you don't, little lady. Uh-huh. Think we might've met before. Come on, up you pop. Off your trolley!
 * Guy: [Points to Sue and the patient] Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.

Misc quotes

 * Joanna: “Criminals always get caught in the end, don’t you watch TV?”

 * Boyce: [To Martin, after he denies he offered a ride on his motorbike to a prostitute.] "Well, there was someone straddling you mate, maybe you should check your rear-view mirrors more."

The Testament of Beauty (1929-1930)
[Note: the spelling and punctuation of this poem, as seen in the excerpts linked here, are Bridges' own. In his later years Bridges was interested in spelling and typography reform which would be based more closely on the actual pronunciation of words.]

 * Man's Reason is in such deep insolvency to sense, that tho' she guide his highest flight heav'nward, and teach him dignity morals manners and human comfort, she can delicatly and dangerously bedizen the rioting joys that fringe the sad pathways of Hell.
 * Book I, lines 57-61.

 * Nature hav no music; nor would ther be for thee any better melody in the April woods at dawn than what an old stone-deaf labourer, lying awake o'night in his comfortless attic, might perchance be aware of, when the rats run amok in his thatch?

 * Beauty is the highest of all these occult influences, the quality of appearances that thru' the sense wakeneth spiritual emotion in the mind of man.

 * Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.
 * Book IV, lines 1-2.

 * Repudiation of pleasur is a reason'd folly of imperfection. Ther is no motiv can rebate or decompose the intrinsic joy of activ life, whereon all function whatsoever in man is based.
 * Book IV, lines 459-462.

 * I know that if odour were visible as colour is, I'd see the summer garden aureoled in rainbow clouds.
 * Book IV, lines 492-492.

 * The name of happiness is but a wider term for the unalloy'd conditions of the Pleasur of Life, attendant on all function, and not to be deny'd to th' soul, unless forsooth in our thought of nature spiritual is by definition unnatural.
 * Book IV, lines 533-537.

 * Seeking unceasingly for the First Cause of All, in question for what special purpose he was made, Man, in the unsearchable darkness, knoweth one thing: that as he is, so was he made; and if the Essence and characteristic faculty of humanity is our conscient Reason and our desire of knowledge, that was Nature's Purpose in the making of man.

Juan R. I. Cole (born October 23, 1952) is a Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History in the History Department at the University of Michigan. Since 2002, he has become prominent as a pundit critical of U.S. and Israeli policy in the Middle East.

 * “A second issue was the attitude of Shi‘i clerics, government officials, and laypersons toward Hindus. The clerical attitude can be easily summarized. Sayyid Dildar ‘Ali Nasirabadi harbored an almost violent animosity toward Hindus, arguing that the Awadh government should take stern measures against them. He divided unbelievers into three kinds, those (harbi) against whom Muslims must make war, those (dhimmi) who have accepted Muslim rule and pay a poll-tax, and those (musta’min) whom their Muslim rulers have temporarily granted security of life. He insisted that Imami Shi‘ism accepted only Jews and Christians as protected minorities (dhimmis), and even they could only achieve this status if they observed the ordinances governing it. He differed with Sunni schools that considered Hindus a protected minority... He wrote that Muslims could only grant infidels personal security (aman) in a country they ruled for one year, lamenting that the government had long treated as grantees of personal security the Hindus of northern India, who openly followed their idolatrous religion, drinking wine, and sometimes even mating with Sayyid women. He complained that the irreligious Sunni Mughal rulers of India neither made war against the Hindus nor forced them to accept Islam. Legally, nonetheless, the lives and property of Hindus could be licitly taken by Muslims.” (p. 225)
 * On the attitude of the Shia clergy. ‘Roots of North Indian Shiaism in Iran and Iraq; religion and state in Awadh, 1722-1859’, Cole Juan Ricardo ,quoted in Kishore, Kunal (2016). Ayodhyā revisited.

Israel

 * A group of Israeli rabbis has issued a call for the Sharon government to cease its policy of cavalierly allowing the killing innocent civilians in the [Palestinian] Occupied Territories in the course of its military operations against radical groups. They say such actions are inconsistent with the essence of the Jewish religion. Too right!  Judaism has given us so much that is noble in ethical religion, and what the Likud is doing is an insult to that long and glorious tradition.  Likud's real roots lie not in the Bible but in Zionist Revisionism of the Jabotinsky sort, which is frankly a kind of fascism.

 * The state of Israel is a project of Jewish nationalism that is as legitimate as any other national project. But Israel as a state is not perfect and cannot be above criticism in democratic societies, including practical criticism.

 * The precise reason for Hitchens’ theft and publication of my private mail is that I object to the characterization of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as having “threatened to wipe Israel off the map.” I object to this translation of what he said on two grounds. First, it gives the impression that he wants to play Hitler to Israel’s Poland, mobilizing an armored corps to move in and kill people. But the actual quote, which comes from an old speech of Khomeini, does not imply military action, or killing anyone at all. The second reason is that it is just an inexact translation. The phrase is almost metaphysical. He quoted Khomeini that “the occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time.” It is in fact probably a reference to some phrase in a medieval Persian poem. It is not about tanks.
 * Juan Cole in Hitchens Hacker And Hitchens (3 May 2006)

Neoconservatives

 * One of his charges is that I am accusing the Neoconservatives in the Pentagon of "dual loyalties." That is true, but not in the way Lake imagines. I believe that Doug Feith, for instance, has dual loyalties to the Israeli Likud Party and to the U. S. Republican Party. He thinks that their interests are completely congruent. And I also think that if he has to choose, he will put the interests of the Likud above the interests of the Republican Party.

On September 11, 2001

 * In his response, Foreign Minister Jack Straw said that September 11 had not come in response to any Western attack, and was itself in part responsible for the Iraq War. Straw seems unaware that according to the September 11 Commission report, al-Qaeda conceived 9/11 in some large part as a punishment on the US for supporting Ariel Sharon's iron fist policies toward the Palestinians. Bin Laden had wanted to move the operation up in response to Sharon's threatening visit to the Temple Mount, and again in response to the Israeli attack on the Jenin refugee camp, which left 4,000 persons homeless. Khalid Shaikh Muhammad argued in each case that the operation just was not ready. As for Straw's contention that September 11 caused the Iraq war, he should be reminded that Paul O'Neil reported that the very first Bush cabinet meeting he attended, in late January 2001, was "all about Iraq" and that the 9/11 Commission found no evidence for operational cooperation between Saddam's Iraq and al-Qaeda.

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 Despil. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Despil~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

English, Japanese, and Translation
It might be better to have all three forms - the origional Japanese, the audio used in English, and the direct translations of Japanese to English, without alteration. I was suprised how different what the subtitles were (in English) from the two spoken languages... In some cases, the meaning is even arguably altered. However, this might take up too much space, or seem redundant on the page... Still, I think it's worth considering.

(I'm not entirely sure how this aspect of Wikipedia works... I'm rather new at this, so I apologise if I'm doing this incorrectly)

OVERDUB VERSION
Are we putting what was actually said in the english dub version? From: Cloud Strife: Can sin be forgiven? Vincent Valentine: ...I've never tried it. Cloud Strife: [surprised] Tried it? Cloud Strife: Tried it... Cloud Strife: [to Marlene] Marlene, we're going home! Cloud Strife: [to Vincent] I'll try it. [he begins to walk away] Cloud Strife: I'll let you know how it turns out. change to:

Cloud Strife: Are sins ever forgiven? Vincent Valentine: ...I've never tried. Cloud Strife: [surprised] You mean. . . Never tried? Cloud Strife: [to Marlene] Marlene, lets go! Cloud Strife: [to Vincent] Well I'm gonna try it. [he begins to walk away] Cloud Strife: I'll phone in the verdict.

There's other places where what's shown here isn't what's on the dubbed version.

 * I'd rather it be from the English dub. Instead of this:

Yuffie: I don't get it at all! Explain it to me! Cid: It's only between men. Yuffie: Discrimination! Discrimination!

It would be...

Yuffie: I don't get it! Explain it to me! Cid: This is man talk. Yuffie: Sexist! Sexist!

Which sounds better? - 68.146.5.229 01:17, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * But contrary to how it may seem, translations of Japanese don't have to sound awkward. There are lines that are changed in the dub and lose some meaning in order to fit the mouthflaps, whereas a decent direct translation from the Japanese can preserve that. Most of the time it just says something about the translator's skill with English if the translation comes out sounding stilted. There are a few examples of that on this page, which could have the same meaning while sounding more natural, despite not being from the dub. --81.129.40.225 11:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but there was no official sub version, was there? --70.38.103.59 04:55, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Sarah Orne Jewett

Sarah Orne Jewett (September 3, 1849 – June 24, 1909) was an American author and poet whose works were primarily set in her native New England.

Quotes

 * "Dear robin," said this sad young flower, "Perhaps you'd not mind trying To find a nice white frill for me, Some day when you are flying?" "You silly thing!" the robin said; "I think you must be crazy! I'd rather be my honest self Than any made-up daisy.  "You're nicer in your own bright gown, The little children love you; Be the best buttercup you can, And think no flower above you.  "Though swallows leave me out of sight, We'd better keep our places; Perhaps the world would all go wrong With one too many daisies.  "Look bravely up into the sky, And be content with knowing That God wished for a buttercup Just here, where you are growing."
 * "Discontent", in St. Nicholas Magazine, Vol. 3 (February 1876), p. 247

 * The warm sun kissed the earth To consecrate thy birth, And from his close embrace Thy radiant face Sprang into sight, A blossoming delight.
 * "The Soul of the Sunflower" in Scribner's Magazine, Vol. XXII (October 1881), p. 942

 * A harbor, even if it is a little harbor, is a good thing, since adventurers come into it as well as go out, and the life in it grows strong, because it takes something from the world, and has something to give in return.
 * Country By-Ways, River Driftwood (1881)

 * Your patience may have long to wait, Whether in little things or great, But all good luck, you soon will learn, Must come to those who nobly earn. Who hunts the hay-field over Will find the four-leaved clover.
 * "Perseverance" in St. Nicholas Magazine, Vol. X. (September 1883), p. 840

 * The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper — whether little or great, it belongs to Literature.
 * Letter to Willa Cather, quoted in the preface to The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories (1925)

 * It does seem so pleasant to talk with an old acquaintance who knows what you know. I see so many new folks nowadays who seem to have neither past nor future. Conversation has got to have some root in the past, or else you have got to explain every remark you make, and it wears a person out.
 * As quoted in Reader's Digest Vol. 130 (1987)

The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896)

 * Captain Littlepage had overset his mind with too much reading.
 * Ch. 5

 * The old poets little knew what comfort they could be to a man.
 * Ch. 5

 * "Step in some afternoon," he said, as affectionately as if I were a fellow-shipmaster wrecked on the lee shore of age like himself.
 * Ch. 7

 * We were standing where there was a fine view of the harbor and its long stretches of shore all covered by the great army of the pointed firs, darkly cloaked and standing as if they waited to embark. As we looked far seaward among the outer islands, the trees seemed to march seaward still, going steadily over the heights and down to the water's edge.
 * Ch. 7

 * Tact is after all a kind of mind-reading.
 * Ch. 10

 * Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.
 * Ch. 12

 * In the life of each of us, I said to myself, there is a place remote and islanded, and given to endless regret or secret happiness.
 * Ch. 15

 *  'Tain't worthwhile to wear a day all out before it comes.
 * Ch. 16

 * The road was new to me, as roads always are, going back.
 * Ch. 19

 * So we die before our own eyes; so we see some chapters of our lives come to their natural end.
 * Ch. 19

Misattributed

 * When I was as you are now, towering in the confidence of twenty-one, little did I suspect that I should be at forty-nine, what I now am.
 * Samuel Johnson, in a letter to Bennet Langton, published in The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1791), by James Boswell

Quotes about Sarah Orne Jewett

 * The nineteenth-century poet and novelist Sarah Orne Jewett lived for thirty years with Annie Fields in what was, in that century, called a Boston Marriage. It was considered a respectable arrangement, and friends and community acknowledged the life-companion relationship as a genuine article of devotion. When Annie Fields, however, intended to publish the letters between her and Jewett in the 1920s and after the latter's death, her close friend Mark De Wolfe Howe counseled against inclusion of any mention of their love for each other. This meant deleting four-fifths of the correspondence. Howe's objections stemmed from his fear of accusations of "perversity" against his friend in the sexually charged world of Freudian analysis. Faderman concludes that while the love between Jewett and Fields "was common and appropriate behavior in the century in which the two women had spent most of their lives (and Howe himself saw it as common and appropriate at the time)... it suddenly became "abnormal" in a twentieth century context, although nothing about the nature of the relationship had changed."
 * Bettina Aptheker Tapestries of Life: Women's Work, Women's Consciousness, and the Meaning of Daily Experience (1989)

 * Feminist literary critics have shown how in the 19th century women writers began to acknowledge women as their muses and their role models...Margaret Fuller and Sarah Orne Jewett acknowledged their indebtedness to Madame de Staël, the author of Corinne...The list could be indefinitely extended to show the almost desperate search of writing women for authoritative female predecessors.
 * Gerda Lerner The Creation of Feminist Consciousness (1993)

Singapore general election, 2006

The Singapore general election, 2006 was held on May 6. The following are significant quotes made by the candidates during the election period on that day.

George Yeo

 * "Top of our list of priority is the lift upgrading so that the lift will stop on every floor in as many blocks as possible." George Yeo, reported 29 April 2006

Khaw Boon Wan

 * "The PAP has quality control in our 84 candidates. We have D24 durians, Sultan durians and XO durians, all different kinds but excellent durians. All are super durians. But I don't know about other political parties because some are 'ho kua bo ho jiak' and there're worms inside too. Then it will be troublesome for people." Khaw Boon Wan, 29 April 2006.

Lee Hsien Loong
Lee Hsien Loong is the Secretary-General of the People's Action Party and the Prime Minister of Singapore.

 * "We need a capable government to be on top of all these issues, to look over the horizon, to respond faster than other countries, to mobilise Singaporeans so that we can work together and be something special, not just three and a half million people but one very shining red dot," Lee Hsien Loong, 24 April 2006.
 * "We don't have a majority, so we will fight this election," Lee Hsien Loong, 27 April 2006, on nomination day.
 * "Give me and my team a strong mandate so that I can continue to serve you. This election decides the course of Singapore for the next 15 to 20 years...many opportunities but also major challenges, must decide what the goal is and how to get there." Lee Hsien Loong, 28 April 2006.
 * "I hope Low Thia Khiang will come and spend time in Ang Mo Kio. Then I might spend a bit more time there too. … But the fact that Low Thia Khiang didn't decide to come to Ang Mo Kio tells you something. He's just sending gan si dui [suicide squad]. Somebody else can do that", Lee Hsien Loong, 29 April 2006, commenting on WP's contest at Ang Mo Kio GRC with a relatively young team. Lee added that even the bookies will not take a bet on the outcome in Ang Mo Kio GRC.
 * "Suppose you had 10, 15, 20 opposition members in Parliament. Instead of spending my time thinking what is the right policy for Singapore, I'm going to spend all my time thinking what's the right way to fix them, to buy my supporters votes, how can I solve this week's problem and forget about next year's challenges?" Lee Hsien Loong, 03 May 2006.
 * "Coming back from Pasir Ris-Punggol last night, I saw my son at the dinner table and asked him 'where have you been?' 'Ang Mo Kio Workers' Party rally.' 'What were you doing there?' 'Wanted to know, brought friends, 20 of them from school in uniform and went to hear.' I asked him 'what did you hear?' Don't know what they were talking about but every time they said something, they cheered - he said that. I said 'why don't you come to the PAP rally?' He said 'so boring and logical'. So I think it's okay. Many more (are) like that, want to hear but when it comes to the moment to vote and decide, I think they know what's in their interest." Lee Hsien Loong, commenting on his son going to Workers' Party rally.

Lee Kuan Yew

 * "We want to have a First World parliament for Singapore, so we need to have a First World government and a First World opposition. If you want us to treat you as gentlemen, argue on the merits of your policy and our policy. Take it to a higher level and we will treat you accordingly and respond accordingly," Lee Kuan Yew, 24 April 2006.
 * "You watch the nine single seats. We fielded nine male Chinese, the Opposition also fielded nine male Chinese. What does that tell you? Without group representation, no minority candidate would be elected nor any woman candidate." Lee Kuan Yew, 28 April 2006, commenting on how the GRC system ensured minority representation.
 * "I want a world-class opposition, not this riffraff." Lee Kuan Yew, 28 April 2006.

Singapore Democratic Alliance
The Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) is an alliance of four political parties in Singapore, comprising of:

 * National Solidarity Party
 * Singapore Malay National Organization
 * Singapore People's Party
 * Singapore Justice Party

Desmond Lim
Desmond Lim is the assistant secretary-general of the Singapore People's Party.

 * "Ants see no obstacles. If you put a stone in front of them, they will make a detour or climb over it. We are like small ants in the political scene here. But when ants come together, they can move mountains." Desmond Lim, 6 March 2006

Chiam See Tong
Chiam See Tong is the Secretary-General of the Singapore People's Party.

 * "We don't want a parliamentary sitting to be a PAP party sitting. What we want is to hear alternative points of view," Chiam See Tong, 24 April 2006.
 * "Much have been spoken of my age. I am now 71 years old. But I assure you, I still swim 25 laps in a day in the swimming pool. On top of that I can do my work because I've got the good backing of an excellent team." Chiam See Tong, 28 April 2006.
 * "Do you know how they work in factories? They have got an assembly line system. Every machine, every device or any equipment, for example, a TV set, if they find that it is no good, they just throw it away and that TV set that is thrown away is called a reject. Now, that is what they are doing to our children when they were streamed in our schools. You make him do this exam and if he can't pass, you just throw him away as a reject. But that is not fair to the child. So I managed to change that." Chiam See Tong, 28 April 2006.

Steve Chia Kiah Hong
Steve Chia Kiah Hong is the Secretary-General of the National Solidarity Party.
 * "If TT Durai did not sue SPH (Singapore Press Holdings), let me ask you, will our PAP ministers still be praising the NKF, Mr TT Durai and urging people to continue donating to the old NKF? If TT Durai did not sue SPH, would they, our world class ministers, know all the wrongdoings in NKF?" Steve Chia, 29 April 2006.

Yip Yew Weng

 * "In this election, we are not aiming to form the next government. Our 20 candidates are not enough to form the government so that's not an issue. What we aim to do is keep an eye on the PAP to ensure they govern Singapore well. Let the PAP form the government, let them distribute the money. But nobody is perfect and the NKF is a case in point. We must not let such an incident take place again," Yip Yew Weng, 29 April 2006.

Chee Soon Juan
Chee Soon Juan is the Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Party.
 * "Lawyers for Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Mr Lee Hsien Loong have gone as far as to sue the printer, so much so that he is so frightened he dares not publish our election material." Chee Soon Juan, 27 April 2006, commenting that the PAP's legal action against the SDP is affecting their campaign at Sembawang GRC.

Chee Siok Chin

 * "We met the Sembawang GRC team from the PAP at the Nomination Centre this morning. All was amiable. All was amicable. We're very civil. Let's make it very clear — it's not personal, it's the issues that we're taking on. So, if you are expecting fistfights to break out, don't hold your breath." Chee Siok Chin, 27 April 2006, on how the SDP intends to conduct it campaign.

Eric Tan

 * "If we win a GRC, you got nothing to lose. You know why? Because a GRC has at least 110,000 people. Can they afford to punish 110,000 people? Can they inflict pain and punishment on 110,000 people? Very difficult. They will try to win you back, because it is so important, and guess what? We will try to retain our seats. You will be king of the road." Eric Tan, 28 April 2006.

James Gomez

 * "The PAP has a history of trying to control all political content, and now they are trying to extend that control to new media as well. It shows just how bankrupt for new ideas they have become," he added, referring to the Internet ban and the PAP's newly promulgated party manifesto." Gomez's comment to Asia Times Online regarding the regulation of political content on the Internet, reported on 24 April 2006.
 * "Singaporeans and Singapore are First World. There is no doubt in my mind, but it does not mean that the government and the PAP are First World. Don't claim credit. Singaporeans and Singapore are First World, and this is the message I want to leave with you today. You are First World, Singapore is First World but the PAP government is not." James Gomez, 28 April 2006.
 * "I've also been brought up with values where my parents told me to be gracious and kind and that's the way I am. And as far as the party is concerned, we're not the suing type. So I don't think l have anything more to add. I have moved on." James Gomez, 13 May 2006.

Goh Meng Seng

 * "For the past year, we have at least one suicide every day. After you open a casino, what will the suicide rate be? This is not a joke. It is a social problem. I am against opening the casino.", Goh Meng Seng, reported on 29 April 2006

Low Thia Khiang
Low Thia Khiang is the Secretary-General of the Workers' Party of Singapore.

 * "I am going to tell you the heart of the WP election campaign today. They are accountability, hope for the future and First World government," Low Thia Khiang, 24 April 2006.
 * "The election is supposed to be for macro issues, where you decide the future of the nation. You are deciding the future of the nation. Instead, we are talking local politics whether you get something or not… Politics here is no longer about your credibility as a candidate but depends on who is backing you. This value seems all wrong to me. Is this the sort of value that we want to carry on to the next generation of Singaporeans?" Low Thia Khiang, undated, reported 26 April 2006
 * "Last night, Mr Lee (Kuan Yew) spoke here. This morning's paper, he said that he wanted me to sue him. Tonight, I want to tell him - come and sue me. I told the reporters, Gomez wrote his own apology, I corrected it. This is the truth. I am surprised. Mr Lee is the founding father, everything is based on facts, but this time he is making baseless allegations." Low Thia Khiang, 03 May 2006
 * "Is he (Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong) trying to say that he cannot govern with 15 to 20 Opposition members? In most First World parliaments, they all have 15 to 20 opposition members, sometimes even more. Is he trying to say that he cannot withstand the WP challenge? I expect him to reply before Polling Day," Low Thia Khiang, 04 May 2006
 * "What trouble have I made in Parliament? Please list them out for the public to know. If she cannot substantiate the claims tomorrow, I will demand an apology from her. Irene Ng is not a new candidate. She knows what transpires in Parliament. I will wait for her reply." Low Thia Khiang, 04 May 2006

Sylvia Lim
Sylvia Lim is Chairman of Workers' Party
 * "(Upgrading) is a pressing problem for the nation. What message are you sending to people?....Think of yourself, whether you're upgraded or not. Vote for the PAP for your self-interest, that's the message. And is this the message and the value we want for Singapore? We will discuss it at our rally...So it's an issue. It's not localised issue, it's a national issue." Sylvia Lim, 29 April 2006
 * "What does he (Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong) mean by 'fix'? Is he trying to say that he will destroy us? But these Opposition MPs are voted into Parliament by you. They are your voice. By saying that, is he trying to say he wants to fix you too?" Sylvia Lim, 04 May 2006

Yaw Shin Leong

 * "In some quarters, my team is considered as the 'dare to die' team. Let me make this clear. Life is sacred, life is precious and politics is serious. More importantly, my courageous team-mates and myself are mentally prepared to lose but that does not mean we are push-overs. It's because we have confidence in you, the people of Singapore," Yaw Shin Leong, 29 April 2006.
