Talk:Emma Goldman

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to Emma Goldman. --Antiquary 15:39, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

 * A society gets all the criminals it deserves.
 * Misattribution: in Anarchism and Other Essays (1917 edition), "Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure", Goldman cites Havelock Ellis, The Criminal (1890), as quoting Alexandre Lacassagne saying "the social environment is the cultivation medium of criminality [...] every society has the criminals it deserves."

 * After all, that is what laws are for, to be made and unmade.

 * All wars are wars among thieves who are too cowardly to fight and therefore induce the young manhood of the whole world to do the fighting for them.

 * Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings to man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man's subordination. Anarchism is therefore the teacher of the unity of life; not merely in nature, but in man.

 * Before we can forgive one another, we have to understand one another.

 * Corruption of politics has nothing to do with the morals, or the laxity of morals, of various political personalities. Its cause is altogether a material one.

 * Crime is naught but misdirected energy.

 * Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.

 * Heaven must be an awfully dull place if the poor in spirit live there.

 * How long would authority and private property exist, if not for the willingness of the mass to become soldiers, policemen, jailers, and hangmen.

 * I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.

 * Idealists are foolish enough to throw caution to the winds. They have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.
 * Variant: Idealists...foolish enough to throw caution to the winds...have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.

 * I may be arrested, I may be tried and thrown in jail, but I will never be silent. I will never acquiesce or submit to authority, nor will I make peace with a system that degrades women to a mere incubator. I now and here declare war upon this system and will not rest until a path has been cleared for a free motherhood and a healthy, joyous and happy childhood.

 * If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.

 * In taking out an insurance policy one pays for it in dollars and cents, always at liberty to discontinue payments. If, however, woman's premium is a husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, "until death doth part."

 * In the true sense one's native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.

 * It is essential that we realize once and for all that man is much more of a sex creature than a moral creature. The former is inherent, the other is grafted on.

 * It is organized violence on top which creates individual violence at the bottom. It is the accumulated indignation against organized wrong, organized crime, organized injustice, which drives the political offender to act.

 * It is safe to say that no other superstition is so detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the minds and hearts of the people, as the superstition of Morality.

 * "It is significant that whenever the public mind is to be diverted from great social wrong, a crusade is inaugurated against indecency."

 * Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one's self-respect. For jealous people, like dope-fiends, stoop to the lowest level and in the end inspire only disgust and loathing.

 * Merely external emancipation has made of the modern woman an artificial being. Now, woman is confronted with the necessity of emancipating herself from emancipation, if she really desires to be free.

 * Methods and means cannot be separated from the ultimate aim.

 * No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.
 * This quote appears to be a gloss on Goldman's address to the jury in 1917: "Never can a new idea move within the law. It matters not whether that idea pertains to political and social changes or to any other domain of human thought and expression -- to science, literature, music; in fact, everything that makes for freedom and joy and beauty must refuse to move within the law.  How can it be otherwise?  The law is stationary, fixed, mechanical, “a chariot wheel” which grinds all alike without regard to time, place and condition, without ever taking into account cause and effect, without ever going into the complexity of the human soul."

 * No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
 * Variant: No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.

 * No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution... Revolution is but thought carried into action.

 * On rare occasions one does hear of a miraculous case of a married couple falling in love after marriage, but on close examination it will be found that it is a mere adjustment to the inevitable.

 * Only when human sorrows are turned into a toy with glaring colors will baby people become interested — for a while at least. The people are a very fickle baby that must have new toys every day.

 * Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world.

 * Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name! Every fool, from king to policeman, from the flatheaded parson to the visionless dabbler in science, presumes to speak authoritatively of human nature. The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature.

 * Public school — where the human mind is drilled and manipulated into submission to various social and moral spooks, and thus fitted to continue our system of exploitation and oppression.

 * Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father's curse, mother's moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.

 * Resistance to tyranny is man's highest ideal.

 * Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.

 * Social and economic well-being will become a reality only through the zeal, courage, the non-compromising determination of intelligent minorities, and not through the mass.

 * The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and be loved.

 * The experience of every-day life fully proves that the armed individual is invariably anxious to try his strength. The same is historically true of governments. Really peaceful countries do not waste life and energy in war preparations, with the result that peace is maintained.

 * The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character.

 * The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul.

 * The individual whose vision encompasses the whole world often feels nowhere so hedged in and out of touch with his surroundings as in his native land.

 * The majority cannot reason; it has no judgement. It has always placed its destiny in the hands of others; it has followed its leaders even into destruction. The mass has always opposed, condemned, and hounded the innovator, the pioneer of a new truth.

 * The majority cares little for ideals and integrity. What it craves is display.

 * The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought.

 * The most violent element in society is ignorance.

 * The motto should not be: Forgive one another; rather, Understand one another.

 * The people are urged to be patriotic ... by sacrificing their own children. Patriotism requires allegiance to the flag, which means obedience and readiness to kill father, mother, brother, sister.

 * The philosophy of Atheism represents a concept of life without any metaphysical Beyond or Divine Regulator. It is the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities, as against an unreal world, which, with its spirits, oracles, and mean contentment has kept humanity in helpless degradation.

 * The political arena leaves one no alternative, one must either be a dunce or a rogue.

 * The powers know that the people at large are like children whose despair, sorrow, and tears can be turned into joy with a little toy. ... An army and navy represents the people's toys.

 * The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.

 * The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life, the dignity of man, the right of every human being to liberty and well-being.

 * Thus Dante's motto over Inferno applies with equal force to marriage: "Ye who enter here leave all hope behind."

 * To the indefinite, uncertain mind of the American radical the most contradictory ideas and methods are possible. The result is a sad chaos in the radical movement, a sort of intellectual hash, which has neither taste nor character.

 * We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all human beings, irrespective of race, color, or sex, are born with the equal right to share at the table of life.

 * When we can't dream any longer we die.

 * Whether our reformers admit it or not, the economic and social inferiority of women is responsible for prostitution.

Most of the content was copied from this page, and I've blanked it as copyvio. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete out of curiosity, why don't we speedy delete copyvios? It would seem to me that we would want to get rid of it asap, before the copyright owner notices it. The fact that we've identified a violation and still takes a week to get rid of it can't look good to the outside world (or their attorneys). Koweja 00:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say the thought process has been this: (A) when we revise policy, we tend to review the current state of Wikipedia for guidelines and tips; (B) I was not prepared to analyze the latest WP processes surrounding copyvios when I prepared the major Speedy deletion policy revision (for fear of delaying a long-overdue update even more); (C) several others (like Aphaia) suggested a copyvio addition, but no one else wanted to delay approval of the new WQ:SD; and (D) we've been short on serious policy-change work since that last one. I suspect we will make this change in the near future, but it requires at least one experienced Wikiquotian to take charge and do due diligence to draft the changes, and the regular editing community to participate at least by approving the changes. The more thorough the draft analysis and recommendations, the more likely the rest will simply agree. Most policy changes here get bogged down in everyone asking for opinions and suggestions, but not getting many responses. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing obvious in original article (apparently a blow-by-blow account of some event) worth excerpting, even if it was realiably sourced.

Tevin Felth
I think this some sort of hoax. A google search turns up no results at all for the name, and the only results I can find for "Davin Felth" (alleged to be this person's father) indicate a minor character from the Star Wars universe. The names used on the page, however, are of actual wrestlers and associated persons. —LrdChaos (talk) 23:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Vote closed early. Result: speedy deleted, unremarkable subject. Putative wrestler from Star Wars universe. In addition to above, Category:Star Wars had been added to and created by anon editor.

Y.J. Leung
This is another university professor who is apparently being quoted from unsourceable classroom comments by a devoted student. He has no Wikipedia article that I found, and his cited name brings up half as many Google hits as mine does — rather remarkably unknown (on the Web at least) for a professor. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided and sourced quotes added. If so, the POV commentary would still have to go. Wikiquote is not a fan website. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 14:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I created this page. I have fairly carefully read over the Policies and guidelines, and I did not anticipate this sort of reception.  It seems to me that there is some sort of unspoken consensus here.  Either put it in the official policy in bold, clear, terms what sorts of people are acceptable to add to this wiki, or stop harassing newcomers who are trying to legitimately contribute.  I have no problem with your comments and policy, if that's the way you want to run things around here, that's fine.  But make it explicit; it's not so pleasant to have your page suggested for deletion, by surprise, a day after it was created.  My hope was that a handful of other people (whom I have sent the page to) would contribute as well, so it's not like this page is going to go unread or anything.  Cazort 14:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * As the nominator for this discussion, I apologize for this inauspicious start to a new editor's Wikiquote experience. Please allow me to very briefly summarize the problem here. As Policies and guidelines says, we tend to follow the practices of Wikipedia where relevant, and two key ones that are a problem with professor articles are (A) notability (read the 1st paragraph of w:WP:NOTE and the discussed guidelines at w:Wikipedia:Notability (academics)) and WQ:CITE, which is based on the needs for reliability and verifiability, which experience here has shown are rarely possible for articles in which admiring students are quoting their professors from classroom discussions. (I deduced "admiring" from the non-neutral "About" section in the article, and "classroom discussions" from the type of quotes cited.) It's simply not possible to include all the experience of all the kinds of article problems in a single policy page. On Wikipedia, this runs to literally thousands of pages, and even the link lists are huge. Wikiquote has about a dozen frequent editors and half that many regularly working maintenance, so it's a challenge to be anything but quick and succinct in dealing with problem articles. Therefore, we may expect too often (out of expediency) that our editors are familiar with Wikipedia, where many learn about Mediawiki practices before coming here. That said, we certainly don't want to lose folks just because their initial enthusiasm for a subject ran afoul of policies and practices that conscientious newcomers can't easily and quickly get a sense for. I would like to discuss this with you on your talk page, Cazort, to get your input on how we can improve how we handle these situations. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You have unfortunately stumbled over the sad state of Wikiquote's policy documentation. There are only a very few editors who have worked on the policy pages, so it's hard to build consensus for updates to them.  The result is that many of the policy pages are still rather sketchy if not outright stale, and community practice (particularly here in WQ:VFD) has a very "common law" feel about it.  In this particular case, What Wikiquote is spells one thing out fairly clearly: people quoted must be notable in the larger English-speaking world.  What it doesn't explain is our growing insistence on verifiabiliy; in general, unpublished statements—even by otherwise notable people—are not considered acceptable Wikiquote material.  (Our colleagues in the newly-reopened French Wikiquote have taken this one step further and require all quotations to have a complete source citation.)  The draft policy at WQ:SOURCE gives an idea of the direction we are heading.  121a0012 18:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - To say the quotes are "meaningless, unoriginal and not particularly memorable" is a very opinionated view, clearly from someone who is not a fan of the show. There is only a few quotes, but every page starts that way and needs time to grow! - User:cen2s2s 19:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless more pithy, sourced quotes are provided. ~ UDScott 21:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per UDScott, concurring with LrdChaos's opinion. Quotes like "It'll never last!" and "Yet another example that change is not good" are manifestly unoriginal, not a matter of being "opinionated". cen2s2s is correct in that stubby articles can grow over time, but experience has shown that articles about subjects not known for memorable statements (like sports review shows) are unlikely to acquire any pithy material. Prove this wrong in this case and people may change their votes. If the article is deleted before this can be done, it can be recreated down the road by starting it with collected quotes, organized by the episodes to which they belong, to make verification more reasonable. See Templates/TV shows for how to do this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Wolves

Wolves (Canis lupus) are quadrupedal carnivorous mammals related to coyotes and jackals. Wolves feature in folklore and mythology of cultures ancient to modern across the northern hemisphere; from the Norse legend of the giant Fenrir to more sympathetic depictions in Central Asia and the suckling of Romulus and Remus in the foundation of Rome. More familiar still are the fairy tales where the wolf appears as a villain such as Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. Wolf legends have also given rise to the popular horror figure of the werewolf.

Quotes about wolves

 * Alphabetized by author

 * In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd And I'm hungry like the wolf Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt, I'm after you Mouth is alive, with juices like wine And I'm hungry like the wolf
 * Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran (1982)

 * All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel. …Think about it. There's escaping from the wolves, fighting the wolves, capturing the wolves, taming the wolves. Being thrown to the wolves, or throwing others to the wolves so the wolves will eat them instead of you. Running with the wolf pack. Turning into a wolf. Best of all, turning into the head wolf. No other decent stories exist.
 * Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin (2000).

 * The wolf is an intelligent and cultural animal. Its behaviour is not just imprinted in its genes, but is also taught from mothers to pups according to circumstance. It knows that a man with a pitchfork is dangerous, and that a man with a gun is even more so. The wolf was different once, and was more active during the day. Its [modern] nocturnal activities are an adaptation against danger. If people completely left wolves alone, in just one lupine generation (that is, five years), the wolf could once again try and attack people, at least in areas where it can allow itself to do so. We have signs of this in Canada, where three cases have been brought to our attention. In Europe, there have been no similar incidents, for now.
 * Luigi Boitani, as quoted in Michele Corti, "Non sempre un bugia, ripetuta cento, mille, un milione di volte diventa verità: neppure sui lupi", Targatocn.it (Dec. 30, 2012).

 * The mischief [the wolf] causes by his hunting might be borne, though it is considerable, if he were not impelled by his wild hunting zeal and indomitable thirst for blood to slay more than he needs for his sustenance. This renders him a curse to the flock-owner and sportsman, and makes him everybody's cordially hated enemy.
 * Alfred Brehm, Brehm's Life of Animals (1895).

 * There’s no doubt that a pack of wolves gallivanting around the Highlands would keep deer numbers down, and this would save the trees and crops. But I can’t help wondering what else Mr Wolf might eat.  Obviously Johnny Fox would be a tasty target, which is fine now that man isn’t allowed to hunt him any more.  But what about the sheep?  In the Alpine region of France a pack of just 30 wolves does its level best to keep lamb off the menu in most local restaurants, and we see a similar problem in Sweden, where wolves, tired of eating deer, are helping themselves to pretty well anything that moves. This brings me neatly to the wolf’s favourite amuse-bouche — us.  [It's been said that] humans have nothing to worry about because in the last hundred years there hasn’t been a single recorded case of a person, or even a part of a person, anywhere in Europe, being eaten by a wolf.  [It's also been argued] that in Alaska and Canada humans and wolves live happily together.  True, but that’s because in Alaska and Canada most people pack some kind of heat in the parka.  Here, however, we’re not allowed to walk around with a blue-steel .44, so I suspect the reintroduction of wolves would mean the odd rambler would go west.
 * Jeremy Clarkson, "Who's afraid of the nice wolf?", The Sunday Times (2 January 2005).

 * They are an effective, widespread, and basic predator. They are not very good adapting to change. Wolves are often referred to as an indicator species, which means that any little deterioration of their habitat causes immediate drop in their numbers in that habitat. They don’t seem to be able to adjust to expanding civilization the way coyotes do. The coyote’s range is increasing in the face of human expansion, while the wolf’s is decreasing.
 * Raymond and Lorna Coppinger, Dogs (2001).

 * There are, of course, several things in Ontario that are more dangerous than wolves. For instance, the step-ladder.
 * J.W. Curran, The Canadian Wildlife Almanac (1981).

 * Wolves don't suffer things like guilt or remorse. They don't have any problems with the amount of discipline that they give to a fellow pack member, because in their world, the family is what matters, not the individual. So when you go in with a pack of wolves, you have to leave your emotions at the gate. When you come back out, it's very difficult to pick those emotions back up again.
 * Interview with A Man Among Wolves: Shaun Ellis, Inside NGS, (2007).

 * Dracula: Listen to them. Children of the night. What music *they* make.
 * Dracula (1931 English-language film) written by Garrett Fort

 * There are some dogs which, when you meet them, remind you that, despite thousands of years of manmade evolution, every dog is still only two meals away from being a wolf. These dogs advance deliberately, purposefully, the wilderness made flesh, their teeth yellow, their breath astink, while in the distance their owners witter, "He's an old soppy really, just poke him if he's a nuisance," and in the green of their eyes the red campfires of the Pleistocene gleam and flicker…
 * Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990).

 * Wolves are harmful to humans in many respects: they attack livestock and dogs, wild ungulates and other useful animals, spread diseases and attack people directly. The little use which may be derived from captured wolves (skin, tasty meat which is fully suitable for food) as well as sporting pleasure of the hunting of wolves, are not to be compared with the damage to human health and economic interests caused by these undoubtedly injurous predators.
 * Vladimir Heptner, Mammals of the Soviet Union, Vol. II, Part 1a (1998).

 * The Romans did not see [the tale of Romulus, Remus and the she-wolf] as a charming story; they meant to show that they had imbibed wolfish appetites and ferocity with their mother's milk.
 * Terry Jones, Terry Jones' Barbarians: An Alternative Roman History (2007).

 * The connection between Mongols and the wolf is... interwoven with religion and folklore. In the Shamanic culture, the wolf is connected with mountain spirits. Children's fairy tales are often filled with references to the clever and mysterious wolf. With all these connections, I assumed it would make sense if Mongols had a bit of wolf blood in them. And perhaps they do. A legend is told about a blue wolf that mated with a red deer. It was their offspring that spawned the tribe of Chingis Khan. Since Chingis is considered the father of the nation, it's no wonder why the wolf is held in such awe.
 * Michael Kohn, Dateline Mongolia: An American Journalist in Nomad's Land, (2006).

 * The misinformation promulgated by wolf advocacy groups ranges from minor technical errors to major deception and fraud. Technical biological misinformation, though bothersome to professionals working with wolves, is not as serious as deception about such issues as the status and trends in wolf populations. This latter type of misinformation tends to motivate well-meaning wolf advocates to press their causes through letter-writing campaigns, public meetings, lobbying, and lawsuits. For example, animal welfare and wolf advocacy groups have been advertising for funds in major national newspapers for years, claiming that wolves were threatened in Denali National Park and other parts of Alaska, despite documentation to the contrary. These misrepresentations have even made it into conference proceedings. In the non-peer-reviewed proceedings of a nonprofit citizen organization, "Defenders of Wildlife's Restoring the Wolf Conference," undocumented claims were made the the wolf has been eliminated from "95% of its former range" and "95% of its historic range in Noth America". The actual figures are closer to 30% of its global range and 40% of its North American range.
 * David L. Mech, Wolf Restoration to the Adirondacks: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Public Participation in the Decision, (2001).

 * Physiologically, we know a great deal about the wolf, although we still have much to learn. But why should we continue to study the wolf? Some people curse the animal; others deify it. As scientists study it, we may be able to blunt these extremes and place the wolf in proper perspective. Viewed from the inside, the wolf is a large, intelligent canid predator with a variety of interesting biochemical, neural, and hormonal adaptations. It is neither good nor evil.

 * Inescapably, the realization was being borne in upon my preconditioned mind that the centuries-old and universally accepted human concept of wolf character was a palpable lie. On three separate occasions in less than a week I had been completely at the mercy of these 'savage killers'; but far from attempting to tear me limb from limb, they had displayed a restraint verging on contempt, even when I invaded their home and appeared to be posing a direct threat to the young pups.
 * Farley Mowat, Never Cry Wolf (1963).

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 TheKsKid. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name TheKsKid~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
