Quotes

 * I suppose you might call me the sophisticated type. I like to act with dialogue. Not with grunts.
 * As quoted in "Cary Grant is puzzled because you have No Time for Laughs" by Robert Ottaway in Picturegoer magazine;; (4 January 1958)

 * I really am a happy, amusing fellow at heart. Trouble is I seem the only one left.
 * As quoted in "Cary Grant is puzzled because you have No Time for Laughs" by Robert Ottaway in Picturegoer magazine (4 January 1958)

 * Everybody wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant. I have spent the greater part of my life fluctuating between Archie Leach and Cary Grant; unsure of either, suspecting each. I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.
 * Quoted in "Cary Grant: A Biography" by Marc Eliot

 * I often think my life has been a failure. But whenever I drop into a theater and hear women laugh at one of my films, I think, well, if I brightened their day before they went home and did the dishes, maybe my life wasn't wasted, after all.
 * As quoted in "They Changed Their Careers and Became Famous; Cary a Failure?" by Jack Harrison Pollack, Parade (November 16, 1969), p. 7; and The Filmgoer's Book of Quotes (1978) by, p.229

 * I do! I don't remember ever saying it in a movie, but now, every once in a while when I'm with friends, I say, "Judeeee, Judeeee, Judeeee," and everyone breaks up. Isn't that a good imitation of an imitation of an imitator?
 * In response to interviewer Hy Gardner's query as to which impressionist did the best version of that signature catch-phrase; in "Q & A on Cary Grant", Variety (January 7, 1970), p. 45

 * My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between times, I occupy myself as best I can.
 * 1978 interview with, "Cary Grant: Doing What Comes naturally," The Los Angeles Times (June 11, 1978), p. 39; as quoted in "Quotable Cary" at American Masters (25 May 2005)

 * On The Awful Truth we just clicked. She'd been a weepie star and comedy was strange to her. She'd do a bit and whisper to me, "Funny?" She was the sweetest smelling of my leading ladies and such a lady. If one of the crew cussed, she'd blush. She claims she was out shopping at Bullocks for a present for her husband and the saleslady said, "I don't think Mr. Grant would like that." In the minds of the public, we were married. Reunions became impossible because we both liked first billing. It's ladies first in rowboats but not in movies, I'm afraid. But I still see her at the races and she still smells wonderful, although it's not.
 * On Irene Dunne, in a 1980 interview/profile by James Bawden in ; as quoted in Conversations with Classic Film Stars (2016) by Bawden and Ron Miller, p. 123
 * Comment: The Fabergé reference appears to be Grant's winking acknowledgment of the fact that the interview had only come about because the actor, who had been elected to that company's board of directors roughly 12 years earlier, was in town solely to open/promote their new Toronto plant.

 * The film I most cared about was a flop. None But the Lonely Heart was the only time I played a character very near myself, a man unsure of himself, a drifter, a rake.
 * Evidently from the same 1980 James Bawden interview; as quoted in "Cary Grant's Star Never Lost its Glow" by Bawden, Toronto Star (December 1, 1986), p. D1

Love – That’s All Cary Grant Ever Thinks About (1964)

 * Quotes of Grant from "Love – That’s All Cary Grant Ever Thinks About" by Sheilah Graham Westbrook in Motion Picture (June 1964)

 * I’m prepared. I have a gun and I know how to shoot, and whoever comes calling without an invitation will get it in the rear end.

 * Do not blame others for your own mistakes. … YOU are Mother Nature. You have the power within you to be thin or fat, as you desire. … God is within you, and you can do and have anything you want. You must love yourself more. … and then … you can love your fellow man.

 * Don’t go to extremes. Don’t hate too much and don’t love too much. Try to live somewhere in the middle. Hate destroys the hater. And if you love too much you get too involved and you cannot see too clearly. Love and hate are like night and day. They do exist together and you must accept them both, but you must also understand them and be in control of both emotions. It is peaceful in the middle. You won’t be hurt in the middle.

 * It is the law of life that if you are kind to someone you feel happy. If you are cruel you are unhappy. And if you hurt someone, you will be hurt back.
 * Anyone can do well … It’s all out there waiting for you to take. But first you must reach out and get it. You must work for your riches. You cannot expect it to fall into your lap.
 * You must learn to live within yourself … You must establish the values by which you live. You must first recognize the need, and if it is right you will be amazed at how things will open up.

 * When I’m married I want to be single, and when I’m single I want to be married.

 * I never dwell on past mistakes… There is too much to plan for the future to waste time complaining.  Elsie Mendl was a great friend of mine for many, many years. And I remember the creed by which she lived: Never complain, never explain. Just think of the people you know who are always explaining their mistakes. It merely rubs the whole thing in. You’re reminded again of the mistake. And no one believes the explanation anyway.
 * I used to hide behind the façade that was Cary Grant … I didn’t know if I were Archie Leach, or Cary Grant, and I wasn’t taking any chances. … Another thing I had to cure myself of was the desire for adulation, and the approbation of my fellow man. It started when I was a small boy and played football at school. If I did well they cheered me. If I fumbled I was booed. It became very important to me to be liked. It’s the same in the theater, the applause and the laughter give you courage and the excitement to go on. I thought it was absolutely necessary in order to be happy. Now I know how it can change, just like that. They can be applauding you one moment, and booing you the next. The thing to know is that you have done a good job, then it doesn’t hurt to be criticized. My press agent was very indignant over something written about me not too long ago. “Look,” I told him. “I’ve known this character for many years, and the faults he sees in me are really the faults in himself that he hates.”
 * It always amazes me that those who fight for the luxuries of life, are the first to resent those who have them. Also, people seek targets for whatever hurts them, especially their own lack of success. Personally, I regard every knock as a boost.

Quotes about Grant

 * Archie Leach was ever so funny and fast.
 * , reviewing his 1923 vaudeville act, nearly 10 years prior to being re-named Cary Grant; as quoted in "Cary Grant's Star Never Lost its Glow" by James Bawden, Toronto Star (December 1, 1986), p. D1

 * Clark Gable is an intensely realistic sexual presence; you don’t fool around with Gable. But with Grant there are no pressures, no demands; he’s the sky that women aspire to. When he and a woman are together, they can laugh at each other and at themselves. He's a slapstick Prince Charming. [. . .] Although Grant is a perfectionist on the set, some of his directors say that he wrecks certain scenes because he won’t do fully articulated passages of dialogue. He wants always to be searching for how he feels; he wants to waffle charmingly. This may be a pain to a scenarist or a director, but in his own terms Grant knows what he’s doing. He's the greatest sexual stooge the screen has ever known; his side steps and delighted stares turn his co-stars into comic goddesses. Nobody else has ever been able to do that.
 * Pauline Kael, "Profiles: The Man From Dream City," The New Yorker (July 14, 1975), pp. 41, 65; quoted—as "He's the greatest sexual stooge the screen has ever known; his side steps and delighted stares turn his co-stars into comic goddesses. He's a slapstick Prince Charming."—in The Filmgoer's Book of Quotes by Leslie Halliwell (1978), p. 257

 * God for all anyone knows could be Cary Grant.
 * Carole Morin, in Dead Glamorous (1996)

 * I had written him inquiring as to whether he would be interested in narrating children's stories for a record album, and to my great surprise my secretary told me one day that Cary Grant was on the phone. Like Ms. Nelson, I couldn't believe it, but when I picked up the phone and heard his voice, I had no doubt it was Mr. Grant himself. He apologized about not being able to do the record album, as he was too busy, but that he was really flattered that I had thought of him for such a project. [...] He may have been one of the world's great personalities, but he stayed on the phone with me for at least half an hour, although I, realizing how busy he must have been, tried to make the conversation as brief as possible, but he was such a friendly individual and nice person that he seemed to enjoy chatting, and not rushing a conversation. Cary Grant is certainly someone I wish I had had the opportunity to know and call a friend.
 * , "Letters to the Long Island Editor: Cary Grant Recalled as Unpretentious," The New York Times (February 16, 1992)

 * Love – that is a word you hear often when you are around Cary Grant. … It seems to me that the whole world is his friend. And he is a friend to everyone – when they need one. As Ingrid Bergman did at the time of her out-of-wedlock baby with Rossellini. Cary spoke out for her as he would speak out for anyone he admired, whether it was Ingrid, the President of the United States, or a scrubwoman. He is a potent force for good – for Hollywood, and for all of us. I am always delighted to see Cary Grant, and count myself lucky to be one of his friends.
 * Sheilah Graham Westbrook, in "Love – That’s All Cary Grant Ever Thinks About" in Motion Picture (June 1964)

Sestina of the Space Rocket (1953)

 * First published in Startling Stories (February 1953); re-published in Pearls From Peoria (2006)

 * One thing is sure, O comrades, that the love That fights to keep us rooted in the earth, But also urges us to dare the stars, This irresistible, this ancient power Wedged in the soul, unshakable, is the light That burns our roots and leaves us free for Space.

 * The way is open, comrades, free as Space Alone is free. The only gold is love, A coin that we have minted from the light Of others who have cared for us on Earth And who have deposited in us the power That nerves our nerves to seize the burning stars.

 * Eyes forward! Sing a paean to the light That God gives us to net the distant stars In eyes that once were blinded with black earth. Man had no time for aught but toll, no space For aught but war. Yet God, in His great love, Has cleared our eyes and given a hint of Power.

 * Now we have lit a candle to the power Of atoms; now we know we're heirs of light Itself...

 * Yes, we hope to seed a new, rich earth. We hope to breed a race of men whose power Dwells in hearts as open as all Space Itself, who ask for nothing but the light That rinses the heart of hate so that the stars Above will be below when man has Love.

 * God, Whose hand holds stars, as we lump earth In our fingers, give us power, give us light To hold all love within our breast's small space.

Riders of the Purple Wage (1967)

 * And there is another feeling, one which he shares with most of humankind. He knows he's screwed up his life, or something has twisted it. Every thinking man and woman knows this. Even the smug and dimwitted realize this unconsciously. But a baby, that beautiful being, that unsmirched blank tablet, unformed angel], represents a new [[hope. Perhaps it won't screw up. Perhaps it'll grow up to be a healthy confident reasonable good-humored unselfish loving man or woman. 'It won't be like me or my next-door neighbor,' the proud, but apprehensive, parent swears.

To Your Scattered Bodies Go (1971)

 * The title of this work is derived from 7th of the "Holy Sonnets" by John Donne: At the round earth's imagin'd corners, blow Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise From death, you numberless infinities Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go.

 * Won the 1972 Hugo Award. All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published by Del Rey Books, ISBN 0-345-41967-7

 * His wife had held him in her arms as if she could keep death away from him. He had cried out, "My God, I am a dead man!"
 * Chapter 1 (p. 1; first lines, depicting the death of Sir Richard Francis Burton).

 * Death, the Destroyer of Delights and the Sunderer of Society, had arrived at last. Blackness. Nothingness. He did not even know that his heart had given out forever. Nothingness. Then his eyes opened. His heart was beating strongly. He was strong, very strong! All the pain of the gout in his feet, the agony in his liver, the torture in his heart, all were gone. It was so quiet he could hear the blood moving in his head. He was alone in a world of soundlessness. A bright light of equal intensity was everywhere. He could see, yet he did not understand what he was seeing. What were these things above, beside, below him? Where was he?
 * Chapter 1 (p. 1)

 * The world took a shape which he could grasp, though he could not comprehend it. Above him, on both sides, below him, as far as he could see, bodies floated. They were arranged in vertical and horizontal rows. The up-and-down ranks were separated by red rods, slender as broomsticks, one of which was twelve inches from the feet of the sleepers and the other twelve inches from their heads. Each body was spaced about six feet from the body above and below and on each side. The rods came up from an abyss without bottom and soared into an abyss without ceiling. That grayness into which the rods and the bodies, up and down, right and left, disappeared was neither the sky nor the earth. There was nothing in the distance except the lackluster of infinity.
 * Chapter 1 (p. 3)

 * It was like no hell or heaven of which he had ever heard or read, and he had thought that he was acquainted with every theory of the afterlife. He had died. Now he was alive. He had scoffed all his life at a life-after-death. For once, he could not deny that he had been wrong. But there was no one present to say, "I told you so, you damned infidel!" Of all the millions, he alone was awake.
 * Chapter 1 (pp. 3-4)

 * In a frenzy, kicking his legs and moving his arms in a swimmer's breaststroke, he managed to fight toward the rod. The closer he got to it, the stronger the web of force became. He did not give up. If he did, he would be back where he had been and without enough strength to begin fighting again. It was not his nature to give up until all his strength had been expended.
 * Chapter 1 (p. 4)

 * The aerial canoe had no visible means of support, he thought, and it was a measure of his terror that he did not even think about his pun. No visible means of support. Like a magical vessel out of The Thousand and One Nights.
 * Chapter 1 (pp. 5-6)

 * All the human beings I met were either sure that there would be no afterlife or else that they would get preferential treatment in the hereafter.
 * Chapter 4 (p. 17)

 * “I did it!” she said. “I...I! I wanted to! Oh, what a vile low whore I am!” “I don’t remember offering you any money.”
 * Chapter 8 (p. 54)

 * Burton did not believe in miracles. Nothing happened that could not be explained by physical principles — if you knew all the facts.
 * Chapter 23 (p. 172)

 * Burton, though an infidel, made it his business to investigate thoroughly every religion. Know a man’s faith, and you knew at least half the man. Know his wife, and you knew the other half.
 * Chapter 23 (p. 176)

 * Burton sighed, laughed loudly, and said, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” Another fairy tale to give men hope. The old religions have been discredited — although some refuse to face even that fact — so new ones must be invented.”
 * Chapter 23 (p. 179)

The Fabulous Riverboat (1971)

 * All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published by Del Rey Books, ISBN 0-345-41968-5

 * Resurrection, like politics, makes strange bedfellows.
 * Chapter 1 (p. 1; first line, spoken by Sam Clemens).

 * A miracle: a chance distribution of events, occurring one time in a billion.
 * Chapter 3 (p. 18)

 * Of course, I’m only indulging in mankind’s vice of trying to make a symbol out of coincidence.
 * Chapter 6 (p. 34)

 * But we may not be able to climb high enough. Look at those mountains. They go straight up, smooth as a politician denying he ever made a campaign promise.
 * Chapter 8 (p. 44)

 * Where this area had been beautiful with its many trees and bright grass and the colored blooms of the vines that covered the trees, it was now like a battlefield. It had been necessary to create ugliness to build a beautiful boat.
 * Chapter 15 (pp. 87-88)

 * “It’s a nice toy and makes a lot of noise and looks impressive and will kill a man. But it’s wasteful and inefficient.” “You make it sound like a congressman,” Sam said.
 * Chapter 17 (p. 109)

 * It was not that he was unintelligent. It was just that he was not emotionally able to comprehend democracy.
 * Chapter 19 (p. 119)

 * Actors didn’t have to be politicians, but politicians had to be actors.
 * Chapter 20 (p. 135)

 * His thinking wasn’t logical. But whatever the philosophers claimed, the main use of logic was to justify your emotions.
 * Chapter 22 (p. 158)

 * I ought to arrest your assertions for vagrancy. They certainly are without any visible support.
 * Chapter 22 (p. 160)

 * He was stiff and sometimes a little strange, which was what you’d expect from an engineer, but he had a moral backbone as inflexible as a fossilized dinosaur’s.
 * Chapter 23 (p. 168)

 * Styles was an old Mississippi pilot, a handsome youth, no liar, though given to inflating facts.
 * Chapter 28 (p. 222)

 * Actually, the situation was intolerable. But then it was surprising how much intolerableness a man could tolerate.
 * Chapter 28 (p. 225)

The Dark Design (1977)

 * The title of this work derives from lines in Sir Richard Francis Burton's poem The Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî: And still the Weaver plies his loom, whose warp and woof is wretched Man Weaving th' unpattern'd dark design, so dark we doubt it owns a plan.

 * All page numbers from the trade paperback edition published by Del Rey Books, ISBN 0-345-41969-3

 * Dreams haunted The Riverworld.
 * Chapter 1 (p. 1; first line)

 * “Would you like to talk?” “When I dream, I am talking.” “But to yourself.” “Who knows me better?” He laughed softly. “And who can deceive you better,” she said a little tartly.
 * Chapter 3 (p. 10)

 * Tell me, is this true or is it just one of those tales that people like to make up to worry others?
 * Chapter 5 (p. 19)

 * Many attributed this to a supernatural agency. Many more, among whom was Burton, did not think that there was any agency except an advanced science which accounted for this. There was no need to call in the supernatural. “No ghosts need apply,”—to quote the immortal Sherlock Holmes. Physical explanations sufficed.
 * Chapter 5 (p. 19)

 * Nightmare in paradise. Or what could have been paradise if so many human beings did not insist on make in a hell of it.
 * Chapter 12 (p. 64)

 * Then she warned her self—for the ten thousandth time?—that she must not be as guilty of prejudice as others. Find the facts first and study them before judgment.
 * Chapter 13 (p. 69)

 * “You must not stereotype!” Cyrano cried. “And you are right,” she said. “That is a feeling I loathe, and yet I find myself doing it all the time. However, so often…well, most people are living stereotypes, aren’t they?”
 * Chapter 14 (p. 73)

 * People who believed in Him were deluded. The believers in God might be intelligent, but they were mentally benighted. The gears in that part of the brain which dealt with religion had been put into neutral, and they were spinning. Or the circuit of religion had been disconnected from the main circuit of the intellect. That was a bad analogy. People use their intellect to justify the nonintellective, emotionally based phenomenon called religion. Often brilliantly. But, as far as she was concerned, uselessly.
 * Chapter 17 (p. 93)

 * Burton thought the man was crazy, though he was discreet enough not to say so. He and his crew had fallen into the hands of fanatics. Fortunately, the god had told Metusael that his worshipers must hurt no one unless it was in self-defense. However, he knew from experience that “self-defense” could mean whatever a person or group wanted it to mean.
 * Chapter 19 (p. 104)

 * Kazz thought that putting a lump on Oskas’ head was very funny. He would have considered it to be even a better joke if the chief had drowned. Yet, among his crewmates, he was as sociable, tender, and compassionate a man as anyone could ask for. He was a primitive, and all primitives, civilized or preliterate, were tribal people. Only the tribe consisted of human beings and were treated as such. All outside the tribe though some might be considered friends, were not quite human. Therefore, they did not have to be treated as if they were completely human.
 * Chapter 22 (p. 130)

 * “What does that mean?” “I don’t know, but it sounds deep. I’ll think up an explanation later.”
 * Chapter 24 (p. 144)

 * The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars but in our lousy genes. Or in the failure of one’s conquest of one’s self. The fault, dear Brutus, is in our fear of knowing ourselves.
 * Chapter 28 (p. 171)
 * TV, the worst thing that had happened to the twentieth century. After the atom bomb and overpopulation, of course.
 * Chapter 30 (p. 186)

 * I do believe that man is a rope between animal and superman. But the superman I'm thinking of isn't Nietzsche's. The real superhuman, man or woman, is the person who's rid himself of all prejudices, neuroses, and psychoses, who realizes his full potential as a human being, who acts naturally on the basis of gentleness, compassion, and love, who thinks for himself and refuses to follow the herd. That's the genuine dyed-in-the-wool superman.
 * Chapter 31 (p. 191)

 * He looks like he’d be a hellcat in a fight. Tom and I agreed that he was easily the best qualified. But he doesn’t know anything about books, and I need educated people around me. That may sound snobbish, but so what?
 * Chapter 31 (p. 194)

 * I, who hated the fat, smug, oily, stinking, ignorant, hypocritical, parasitical priests! And their unfeeling, merciless, cruel God!
 * Chapter 32 (p. 200)

 * You prize rank too highly.
 * Chapter 37 (p. 231)

 * But he’s sincere. Which doesn’t mean he knows what he’s talking about.
 * Chapter 40 (p. 256)

 * As for the Bible, it was a book, and all books told the truth in the sense that their authors believed they were writing a kind of truth.
 * Chapter 41 (p. 265)

 * Chance, another word for destiny.
 * Chapter 46 (p. 289)

 * Peter would find out that that was superstition, a reasoning from effect to cause, totally invalid. It was in a class with the belief that if you eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while you were sitting in the outhouse, the devil would get you.
 * Chapter 46 (p. 291)

 * Take St. Augustine, for instance. "Asshole” was the only word that fit him. A monster of ego and selfishness. St. Francis was about as saintly as a person could be. But he was undoubtedly psychotic. Kissing a leper’s sores to demonstrate humility, indeed!
 * Chapter 47 (p. 295)

 * The religions of Jesus, Paul, and Buddha had started to degenerate before their founders were cold in their graves. Just as St. Francis’ order had begun corrupting before its founder’s body was rotten.
 * Chapter 47 (p. 296)

 * “The trouble with you, Peter—one of the troubles—is you worry too much about other people’s behavior. And you have too high ideals for them, ideals which you yourself don’t try to live up to.” “I know I can’t live up to them, so I make a no pretense,” Frigate said. “But it bothers me that others claim to have these ideals and to be living up to them. If I point out that they aren’t, they get angry.” The little Moor chuckled. “Naturally. Your criticism threatens their self-image. If that were to be destroyed, they, too, would be destroyed. At least, they think so.”
 * Chapter 47 (p. 297)

 * Was destiny anything but chance? Probably. But the odds against this happening on Earth were infinity to one.
 * Chapter 48 (p. 302)

 * I had the honor to serve at the siege of Arras. Where I received a thrust through the throat, the second of the serious wounds that convinced me, along with all else I had seen of wars miseries and horrors, that Mars was the stupidest of the gods.
 * Chapter 60 (p. 371)

 * “I thought that was just one of the wild tales those visionaries had invented,” Jill said. “I didn’t put any more credence in it than I did in the ravings of Earth prophets. Moses, Jesus, Zoroaster, Mohammed, Buddha, Smith, Eddy, the whole sick crew.”
 * Chapter 61 (p. 375)

 * If you’ve read your history…then you’ll know that the medieval noblemen were notorious for treachery. Their god was Opportunity, no matter how many churches they built for the glory of Church and God. They had all the morals of a hyena.
 * Chapter 63 (p. 391)

 * “At least, they tried,” Johnston said. “So did the eunuch in the sheik’s harem.”
 * Chapter 63 (p. 396)

 * “I don’t believe in women’s intuition,” Sam said. “They’re just culturally conditioned to observe different patterns of action and speech, different gestures and inflections from those men observe. They’re more sensitive to certain subtleties because of this conditioning.”
 * Chapter 63 (p. 396)

 * Anyway, women are about as mysterious as a tin mine. All you have to do is carry a lantern into the dark places, and you see everything. But men like to think women are the eternally mysterious. That saves men the trouble of asking questions, taking a little time and effort.
 * Chapter 64 (p. 398)

 * He seemed to get along with just about everybody. Which, in my book, makes him suspect.
 * Chapter 64 (p. 400)

 * “We’re not that stupid!” “No, but you’re that impulsive. Which is a form of stupidity.”
 * Chapter 65 (p. 402)

 * Imagination was the great cozener of the past.
 * Chapter 67 (p. 430)

 * Suddenly, he was weeping. The tears were for the good things that had been or might have been, for the bad things that had been but should not have been.
 * Chapter 67 (p. 431)

 * Beauty is beautiful because it is doomed to perish!
 * Chapter 70 (p. 448)

The Magic Labyrinth (1980)

 * The title of this work derives from lines in Sir Richard Francis Burton's poem The Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî: Reason is Life's sole arbiter, the magic Laby'rinth's single clue: Worlds lie above, beyond its ken; what crosses it can ne'er be true.

 * All page numbers from the hardcover edition published by Berkley, Putnam, and the Science Fiction Book Club

 * Everybody should fear only one person, and that person should be himself.
 * Chapter 1 (p. 1; first line)

 * Malory clung to his faith with fierce obliviousness to “facts”—in itself an indication that he had gone mad, if his critics were to be believed.
 * Chapter 2 (p. 8)

 * I have been forced into this situation and may like it. To survive you must lie better than the liars, deceive more than the deceivers, and kill the killers first! To me it’s sheer necessity, though justified!
 * Chapter 4 (p. 18)

 * I concluded that extreme mysticism was closely allied to madness.
 * Chapter 5 (p. 94)

 * If you live very long time or are immortal, perhaps you learn everything about everything in order to pass the time.
 * Chapter 16 (p. 102)

 * Sometimes you are arrogant, thinking you are better than others. More often you are humble. Too humble. I might even say, sickeningly humble. That is another form of arrogance. True humility is knowing your true place in the cosmic scale.
 * Chapter 18 (p. 112)

 * Monasticism, retreat from the world, reclusivism, that’s a lot of crap.
 * Chapter 18 (p. 112)

 * Sometimes I regret we are forbidden any violence whatsoever. Right now, I would like to kick you in the ass.
 * Chapter 18 (p. 113)

 * By now you must have accepted the fact that your religion, in fact, none of the Earthly religions, truly knew what the afterlife would be. All made guesses, and then established these as articles of faith. Though, in a sense, some were near the mark, if you accept their revelations as symbolic.
 * Chapter 19 (p. 124)

 * Now, this is what the visitor said the Ethicals had learned from the Ancients. The Creator, God, the One Spirit, call it what you will, forms all. It is the universe; the universe is it. But its body is formed of two essences. One is matter, the other, for lack of a better word, is nonmatter.
 * Chapter 19 (p. 125)

 * Let's give this entity which you call soul another name. Soul has too many incorrect meanings for humans, too many verbal reverberations, too many contrary definitions.
 * Chapter 20 (p. 127)

 * Clemens was afraid that he’d lose his temper and cuss out King John as no one else in the universe had ever been cussed out before.
 * Chapter 26 (p. 171)

 * And how in God’s name did Santiago find out about the laser? Even Queen Victoria’s sex life wasn’t a better secret.
 * Chapter 31 (p. 209)

 * By the Providence that did not exist, events had worked out perfectly.
 * Chapter 36 (p. 247)

 * You should have waited to find out the true situation, madame. But then…scarcely anyone ever does.
 * Chapter 38 (p. 273)

 * “Okay,” she said, “I’ll listen to the wise. Are you wise?” “Wise enough,” he said, “and mighty experienced, which is the same thing if you’re not too stupid.”
 * Chapter 41 (p. 290)

 * Burton sighed. She was, on the whole, sane. But she was also a religious fanatic who managed to ignore the facts of life and also the contradictory elements in her faith.
 * Chapter 44 (p. 327)

 * “Perhaps God—if there is one—doesn’t care,” Burton said. “There is no evidence whatsoever that He does.”
 * Chapter 46 (p. 339)

 * If the Creator has a plan for us, why doesn’t He tell us what it is? Are we so stupid that we can’t understand it? He should tell it to us directly! The books that the prophets, the revelators, and the revisionists wrote, claiming to have authority from God Himself, to have taken His dictations, these so-called revelations are false! They make no sense! Besides, they contradict each other! Does God make contradictory statements?
 * Chapter 46 (p. 341)

 * How strange and unforeseeable! The world had been saved, not by great rulers and statesmen, not by mystics and saints and prophets and messiahs, not by any of the holy scriptures, but by an introverted eccentric writer of mathematical texts and children's books and by the child who'd inspired him. The little girl become a woman, dream-ridden Alice, had inspired the nonsense not really nonsense, and this in circuitous and spiraling fashion had inspired her to do what all others had failed to do, to save eighteen billion souls and the world.
 * Chapter 54 (p. 406)

Gods of Riverworld (1983)

 * The truth is that you can be immortal, relatively so, anyway. You won't last beyond the death of the universe and probably not nearly as long as the universe does. But you have the potentiality for living a million years, two, perhaps three or more. As long as you can find a Terrestrial-type planet with a hot core and have resurrection machinery available. Unfortunately, not all can be permitted to possess immortality. Too many would make immortality miserable or hellish for the rest, and they would try to control others through their control of the resurrection machinery. Even so, everybody, without exception, is given a hundred years after his Earthly death to prove that he or she can live peacefully and in harmony with himself and the others, within the tolerable limits of human imperfections. Those who can do this will be immortal after the two projects are completed.

Quotes about Farmer

 * Excellent science fiction writer; in fact, a far more skillful writer than I am.
 * Isaac Asimov, in I, Asimov (1994), p. 504

 * One of the most original, one of the most talented, and certainly one of the most fearless writers around.
 * Theodore Sturgeon, as quoted in "Philip José Farmer : The Trickster as Artist", by Thomas Lee Wymer, in Voices for the Future, Vol. 2 (1979), edited by Thomas D. Clareson, p. 34

 * Farmer's greatest achievement, accomplished with brilliant understatement, is to make us gradually realize that our own situation here on Earth is just as mysterious as anything on Riverworld, or that the answer to the enigmas of Riverworld might also be the explanation of the paradoxes of our own peculiar existence here and now. Once again, in a brilliant climax, Farmer demonstrates my pet theory that sf is the only serious literature around these days, because it is the only literature that grapples with the ultimate questions of who or what we are and how we got here.
 * Robert Anton Wilson, in "Wilson on Farmer" in Heavy Metal #54 (September 1981)

 * The critics seem like the legendary blind philosophers who each touching the creature in a different place, bring back conflicting reports of what an elephant is. … I would like to suggest, with no pretensions to being any less blind than the others, that a key to these contradictions may be found in what appears to be the image in terms which Farmer most often presents himself as an artist, the trickster god. … Farmer seems to have a special affinity for Trickster.
 * Thomas Lee Wymer, in "Philip José Farmer : The Trickster as Artist", in Voices for the Future, Vol. 2 (1979), edited by Thomas D. Clareson, p. 35

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 RevTarthpeigust. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name RevTarthpeigust~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 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Marta. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marta~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 23:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Notable quotees
I'm afraid I've deleted your article on Alec Jordan and Simon Fish because it clearly stated that the subjects are not notable. Wikiquote is a compendium of quotes from notable people and creative works. You are welcome to add quotes to your own user page (User:Genevieve) from unfamous folks that you find intriguing, but the project itself must remain focused on quotes that can be properly documented. Please also note that if you quote living people, especially non-famous ones, with an apparent intent to embarrass them, you may run afoul of Wikimedia policies against invading privacy and libelling individuals. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:04, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

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 Danwilliams2007. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Danwilliams2007~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.
