Talk:David Icke

"The most sinister of evils are often cloaked under a shroud of goodness" Daivd Morin 2004

get rid of the ibidems, someone

I am free, I am me
For an interesing picture of David Icke, see page 166 of his book Infinite Love is the Only Truth: Everything Else is Illusion

No Fan Commentary, Please
Someone wrote a very redundant comment concerning Icke's 'clarifications' about his 'son of God' statement.

"He later was given the opportunity to elaborate and clarified that in fact we are all sons and daughters of God, Example the countless examples of inter-relativity. and the fact that we're all the family of life!"

The comment was highly unnecessary, as it does nothing more than poorly state what was already largely in the quote.

It'd be better if you just put verbatim what he went on to say, as opposed to a poorly written summary with improper grammar. Also, I don't believe I've ever seen a sentence on Wiki that wasn't a direct quote end in an exclamation mark...

I think it'd be best if Icke's fans didn't write in their own comments about his quotes on the quote page.

What is quotable? (sources, and "value")
A lot of the quotes listed are "sourced" as ibid. I am not sure what that refers to, so cannot say if they are sourced.

Secondly, what quotes are truly quotes, and not just random sentences or run-on paragraphs? Very little appears as something I could reference in a conversation or repeat - ever. Where are the lines to be drawn? 83.70.170.48 12:31, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I too would like to know what ibid means. 89.72.244.110 03:05, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * "in the same source". Philip Cross (talk) 17:30, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Unsourced

 * Turquoise is a very significant colour, it was considered a sacred color by ancient cultures. says a student of the esoteric arts, it is the very base colour of the universe.

 * Reports of my madness, as they say, are greatly exaggerated. I think people are capable of defining truth for themselves. Not that I give a bugger what anyone chooses to believe, as long as they don't feel compelled force their beliefs on others.

 * If an Economist, Doctor, Lawyer, Media Personalities, Government Officials, etc. Makes a claim it is Automatically deeemed credible, at time without any substantial evidence, though evidence is no obstacle to the necessary Consensus Reality. If anyone presents information that "contradicts" the Official Investigations And/Or Current "Norms" of a present society, he's labeled as crazy. Is condemned, Mis-represented, and ostracised. Often by those who only read the Headlines without reading information that further substantiates the particular point.Way of the world, I'm afraid. Though I feel compelled to ask Why is it the way of the world?

 * Our CAPTORS or if you prefer "Masters" Don't want you to think for yourselves, they suggest that those with fancy titles and letters after their names should do it for you. "Go back to sleep..., your experts know best.... Zzzzzzz...." Love is the highest expression of a "Living" organism in the known universe, It is often represented as the "positive aspect of "Yin/Yang", "Human Nature"-Animal Nature?,etc. We should'nt be afraid to express ourselves sincerely,and allow others the freedom of expressing themselves sincerely,without fear of what others will label me as. We start to eliminate those fear patterns that have been promoted as a means of Geo-Political control. It is Love that all organsims,desire-determined by subjective values,respectively.and require-albeit are denied.Responding towards a situation,or person with Love, Acceptance,and Appreciation (opposed to Fear,Guilt, Anger, Frustration.) Assists us in "re-attuning" our state of mind,towards positive states of being, by recognising, thought patterns that "Enforce" the "FEAR Vibration"-The Negative expressions of Conciousness. We take back control over the creation of our individual realities. Which will naturally influence our Collective reality, for better or worse. I "believe" in a Heaven and Hell, On Earth... When we embark on this adverse journey of Self-Discovery. You'll find it much easier to "reside" in the "higher" levels of our BEING. to be more exact, THE SOURCE of ALL- Simply stated LOVE!(also as stated throughout history),which in turn re-connects us to the universal conciousness-Collective Mind- Consensus Reality.-"The Norms".(similar to Jung's theory of the collective unconsciousness) and all the knowledge, wisdom, and intuitive "Ideas" that's possible to access with proper state of being- Relaxed,Mindfulness, etc. opposed to Hastiness, self-pressure, lack of confidence,etc. You could say, that there's a Spectrum of Knowledge that exists as radiostation broadcasts, when we "attune",and "develope" information on the specific wave-length, we are in a sense tuning our "Cognitive Dial" on the respective broadcasting station.in specific states of mind(a mind-set of Fear, opposed to a mind-set of Love-which can be symbolised as extremes of poles or "Polarities" of being "LOVE OR FEAR".which we seek to bring into balance, which allow us to become more receptive of the subtleties of "Reality", and respective circumstances, our state of being is VITAL. We MUST seek BALANCE -Mentally-Emotionally,Physically). It will help you connect vibrationally to the Great Infinity of existence(which's within, not "out there") by tuning you to its wavelength(sample how a state of mind dominated by fear,reacts to circumstances. opposed to a mind-set of Love,Appreciation,Actualising and expressing our highest potential as living enitities.)We are faced with two choices,two respond in Fear, or respond in Love...i've made my choice...the ball is in your court...

Links in section titles
I have questions (I am not a frequent reader of movie quotes on this project): As for the first question, if it is a good way, it would be better to be an internal link like Role in my first im[ression to encourage readers to browse this website itself. --Aphaia 14:04, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Is this a common formatting to create a link Role as section title?
 * Do editors who are interested in movies agree on that this is a good way? Or is it a sort of experiments (clarification: I love all experimental, even it seems a bit faul. We are anyway a young project and need many experiments).

 * A good question -- I saw it in an entry when I was starting out and liked it. I never realized that it is not standard (e.g. part of the standard template). If it is felt that this is not the way to do it, I won't continue. As to the linking to the wikipedia entry rather than a wikiquote entry, I am also flexible. I assumed that if people wanted to click on the link, it was to learn more about the actor, but I can see where it would also be nice to see what other quotes that actor has. Of course, this also leads to a problem I've seen talked about here as well -- too many stubs that are created simply becasue someone links to a person that has not previously been captured here. I'm open to suggestions. UDScott 14:18, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * It is a semi-standard — one I, personally, am not in favour of but it is popular enough that I'm willing to let there be several "nice enough" movie styles going around before we settle -- only now are we finally solidifying the styles for TV, which I am more interested in. In other words, please feel free to continue doing this -- it is an interesting experiment, and currently we need more expirementation in the area of formatting movie quotes.
 * ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 14:31, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Although there is utility to linked section headings, Wiki practice (not just Wikiquote) recommends against using links inside section headings. Some of this comes, I believe, from a feeling that such links should be provided in the text, which isn't always convenient for Wikiquote's use of section headings. (That's one important reason to include a "Major cast" section — to provide Wikipedia and/or Wikiquote links to actors and occasionally to their characters as well.) Another reason to avoid links in headings is that section edits, where one clicks on the [edit] link across from the heading, automatically insert the heading text into the Edit summary. Linked titles can crowd out the text and help people to ignore a very important expectation to add to the summary a brief but meaningful description of what was changed.

 * There are exceptions. Votes for deletion uses link headings to help reviewers, but it pays for that convenience in troublesome edit summaries. For general article headings, it tends to be a Bad Thing. One of several reasons we switched our people entry template from a linked section heading using the person's name to a more Wikipedia-like structure was to avoid link summary-cramming consequences.

 * Also, linking to the actor instead of the character is, in general, not a good idea. Although there are many quotes whose memorability lies in what celebrity says them (e.g., "I'll be back"), film articles should be about the characters, not the stars. (Even Ah-nold's quote was famous before he really was; he merely capitalized on the Terminator's line.) The actors can have their own Wikiquote articles that include their famous lines as well, and actors should be listed at the bottom of film articles to provide WQ and/or WP links, but the focus should remain on the story and its characters. (IMHO, it's overattention to celebrity that degrades the value of many films. Actors are supposed to be pretending to be someone else — that's the very definition of their job.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:03, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Your philosophical concerns are exactly what I had in mind when I said I dislike the format -- my intuitive expectations are to have a character link to go to a page about the character. My reservations stem mostly from my experience with TV, however, where many characters (all Buffy characters, most Veronica Mars characters, lots of Firefly characrers) have wikipedia pages which make a much nicer target to link to. Nobody, sadly, made an "Inigo Montoya" page. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:39, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The issue becomes moot if there are no such links boldly displayed in the heading. With the links in the "cast" section, it can be made clear whether you are jumping to the actor or the character. As can be seen in many robust film articles, few if any characters listed in the cast have WP links, but many or even all of the actors do. (TV is different, because there is often sufficient material — 100s of hours versus 2 hours — to make some character articles useful. That's why TV dialog segments benefit from character links inside episode segments, but again, not in section headings.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:55, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Keeping them indulges rumors and vandalism. w:User:Gazpacho 00:16, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Restaurant menus
I have reverted your edit to Scott Adams that added a list of "quotes" apparently from restaurant menus at Stacey's At Waterford. This looks like a commercial advertisement, and I can't see what it has to do with Scott Adams. Can you explain why you felt this was an appropriate addition to this article? I'm quite puzzled. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Scott Adams is part owner (I think) of the restaurant and he wrote those things for the menu. They are both sourced and funny so I'll revert your blanking. // Liftarn

 * Thanks for responding on this matter. I re-removed these items because the cited webpage did not indicate that Adams wrote these jokes. Then I thought to dig a little and quickly found such a statement on the website's "About Us" page, so I restored them again. I took a little rejiggering, but I recast the first source to indicate both the quote and the attribution sources (usually not something we have to do separately). Technically this should be repeated for every single quote, but I thought we might get away with just including the sourced attribution for the first quote. Since the other quotes are clearly sourced to the restaurant's online menu, this should suffice. (There may be better ways to do this, but I'm in too much of a hurry right now to make a mini-project of this.)

 * This doesn't resolve the the question of whether it makes sense to include so many quips from a restaurant menu. They don't strike me as the "very best" of Scott Adams, which is what Wikiquote articles are intended to be. There's also a question of whether quoting nearly half the menu's jokes is a copyright violation. In any case, some of this should probably be trimmed. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Originally the intro was much larger. I've moved it here in case anyone thinks any of it should be added back ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 14:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

The Searchers is a 1956 film.
 * Directed by John Ford and written by Frank Nugent, based on the novel by John Le May.
 * Starring John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, and Vera Miles.

He had to find her...he had to find her... taglines

Synopsis

 * Ethan Edwards, returned from the Civil War to the Texas ranch of his brother, hopes to find a home with his family and to be near the woman he obviously but secretly loves. But a Comanche raid destroys these plans, and Ethan sets out, along with his half-breed nephew Martin, on a years-long journey to find the niece kidnapped by the Indians under Chief Scar. But as the quest goes on, Martin begins to realize that his uncle's hatred for the Indians is beginning to spill over onto his now-assimilated niece. Martin becomes uncertain whether Ethan plans to rescue Debbie...or kill her.

Ernst Mach

Ernst Mach (18 February 1838 – 19 February 1916) was an Austrian physicist and philosopher, noted for his contributions to physics such as the and the study of s. As a philosopher of science, he was a major influence on logical positivism and through his criticism of Newton, a forerunner of Einstein's theory of relativity.

 * See also: The Science of Mechanics

19th century

 * I know of nothing more terrible than the poor creatures who have learned too much. Instead of the sound powerful judgement which would probably have grown up if they had learned nothing, their thoughts creep timidly and hypnotically after words, principles and formulae, constantly by the same paths. What they have acquired is a spider's web of thoughts too weak to furnish sure supports, but complicated enough to provide confusion.

 * I see the expression of... economy clearly in the gradual reduction of the statical laws of machines to a single one, viz., the principle of virtual work: in the replacement of Kepler's laws by Newton's single law... and in the [subsequent] reduction, simplification and clarification of the laws of dynamics. I see clearly the biological-economical adaptation of ideas, which takes place by the principles of continuity (permanence) and of adequate definition and splits the concept 'heat' into the two concepts of 'temperature' and 'quantity of heat'; and I see how the concept 'quantity of heat' leads on to 'latent heat', and to the concepts of 'energy' and 'entropy'.

 * Not bodies produce sensations, but element-complexes (sensation-complexes) constitute the bodies.

 * p. 23, as quoted in Lenin as Philosopher: A Critical Examination of the Philosophical Basis of Leninism (1948) by Anton Pannekoek, p. 33

 * Nature consists of the elements given by the senses. Primitive man first takes out of them certain complexes of these elements that present themselves with a certain stability and are most important to him. The first and oldest words are names for "things". … The sensations are no "symbols of things". On the contrary the "thing" is a mental symbol for a sensation-complex of relative stability. Not the things, the bodies, but colours, sounds, pressures, times (what we usually call sensations) are the true elements of the world.

 * Thought-economy is most highly developed in mathematics, that science which has reached the highest formal development, and on which natural science so frequently calls for assistance. Strange as it may seem, the strength of mathematics lies in the avoidance of all unnecessary thoughts, in the utmost economy of thought-operations. The symbols of order, which we call numbers, form already a system of wonderful simplicity and economy. When in the multiplication of a number with several digits we employ the multiplication table and thus make use of previously accomplished results rather than to repeat them each time, when by the use of tables of logarithms we avoid new numerical calculations by replacing them by others long since performed, when we employ determinants instead of carrying through from the beginning the solution of a system of equations, when we decompose new integral expressions into others that are familiar,—we see in all this but a faint reflection of the intellectual activity of a Lagrange or Cauchy, who with the keen discernment of a military commander marshalls a whole troop of completed operations in the execution of a new one.

 * Reported in: Memorabilia mathematica or, The philomath's quotation-book by Robert Edouard Moritz. Published 1914.

 * The student of mathematics often finds it hard to throw off the uncomfortable feeling that his science, in the person of his pencil, surpasses him in intelligence,—an impression which the great Euler confessed he often could not get rid of. This feeling finds a sort of justification when we reflect that the majority of the ideas we deal with were conceived by others, often centuries ago. In a great measure it is really the intelligence of other people that confronts us in science.—Mach, Ernst.

Quotes about Ernst Mach

 * Some Machians were sufficiently impressed by Einstein's interpretations of Brownian movement to accept atomism. Mach himself brushed such objections aside, and also emphatically rejected Einstein's relativity theory.
 * , "Philosophy of biology versus philosphy of physics" (2004) p. 412, Karl Popper: Critical Assessments of Leading Philosophers, Vol. III: Philosophy of Science 2.

 * To a contemporary reader, nonetheless, Mach’s Analysis of Sensations (1886) disappoints. There is a loud echo of Hume in the work, for Mach, like Hume, emphasized the tangibility of all knowledge—ultimately, all knowledge is based in the senses.
 * Alan Ebenstein, Hayek's Journey: The Mind of Friedrich Hayek (2003), Ch. 2 : German and Viennese Intellectual Thought

 * There was a loud echo of Hume in Mach’s work, as both emphasized the tangibility of all knowledge—ultimately, all knowledge is based in the senses. Mach also emphasized the internal nature of all knowledge, in that it is experienced in the mind. Finally, he emphasized the importance of quantitative and mathematical methods and models to understand sensory experience.
 * Alan Ebenstein, Hayek's Journey" The Mind of Friedrich Hayek (2003), Ch. 10 : Epistemology, Psychology, and Methodology

 * In the philosophy of Mach a world without matter is unthinkable. Matter in Mach's philosophy is not merely required as a test body to display properties of something already there ...it is an essential feature in causing those properties which it able to display, Inertia, for example, would not appear by the insertion of one test body in the world; in some way the presence of other matter is a necessary condition. It will be seen how welcome to such a philosophy is the theory that space and the inertial frame come into being with matter, and grow as it grows.
 * Arthur Eddington, Space, Time and Gravitation (1920)

 * :...Vienna is the origin of so many schools of its own which were dominant in the 1920s. And one of the most fundamental and influential, in which we all were partially caught, was logical positivism. In fact, Mises’ brother, Richard von Mises, became one of the leading figures. Now he and I all grew up in this Ernst Mach philosophy that ultimately everything must be rationally justified…
 * Friedrich Hayek, in 1985 interview, quoted in Alan Ebenstein, Hayek's Journey: The Mind of Friedrich Hayek (2003), Ch. 10. Epistemology, Psychology, and Methodology

 * ...Intellectually, the dominating figure...was Ernst Mach, the physicist. That was the principle of thinking in which we all grew up, and at first all adopted it. But some of us—My psychological thinking begins directly with Ernst Mach. Mach in his famous book The Analysis of Sensations explains or assumes that while all our individual sensations have an original pure quality, they are constantly modified by experience. There is only an original order and then the experiential change. Which led me to the conclusion that if you can show that experience can change the thing, why need there be an original quality? The original quality may have arisen in the same fashion. So it was only a step beyond Mach, which turns against him with the result that my own psychology developed. In this sense I began from the same thing on which the logical positivist [movement]—Schlick, Neurath, Carnap, and so on—developed from Vienna; but split at the base, led us apart very much. But these two apparently absolutely contrary trends come from a common initial viewpoint.
 * Friedrich Hayek, in 1985 interview, quoted in Alan Ebenstein, Hayek's Journey: The Mind of Friedrich Hayek (2003), Ch. 10. Epistemology, Psychology, and Methodology

As Mach says, these devotees have spared their successors the trouble of thinking.
 * Scientists believe there is a hierarchy of facts and that among them may be made a judicious choice. They are right, since otherwise there would be no science... One need only open the eyes to see that the conquests of industry which have enriched so many practical men would never have seen the light, if these practical men alone had existed and if they had not been preceded by unselfish devotees who died poor, who never thought of utility, and yet had a guide far other than caprice.
 * Henri Poincaré, The Value of Science (1907) Author's Essay Prefatory to the Translation: "The Choice of Facts," p.4, Tr. George Bruce Halsted

 * The new historiography on Logical Empiricism sets in with the rediscovery of Ernst Mach (1838-1916) as a precursor of Gestalt theory, evolutionary epistemology, (possibly radical) constructivism and the modern historically oriented philosophy of science. But already in Mach’s reception of the Vienna Circle one can see not only a certain pluralism of views but also a polarization of the various positions (Mach’s influence on Carnap’s Aufbau / Logical Construction, the critical distancing to “psychologism” in the manifesto, the alternative to the principle of economy in Karl Menger, etc.) Nevertheless, this research program, which was interpreted differently by the Vienna Circle, actually represented a sort of prototype for Logical Empiricism in the interwar years – irrespective of whether one backs the bold claim as to the existence of a “typical Austrian philosophy” (as opposed to German idealism).
 * Friedrich Stadler "What is the Vienna Circle?" in: Friedrich Stadler (ed.) The Vienna Circle and Logical Empiricism: Re-evaluation and Future Perspectives. Springer Science & Business Media, 2006. p. xiii

 * What Mach calls a thought experiment is of course not an experiment at all. At bottom it is a grammatical investigation.

George Mallory

George Herbert Leigh Mallory (18 June 1886 – 8 June/9 June 1924) was an English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to Mount Everest in the early 1920s.

Quotes

 * Because it's there.
 * From an interview, "Climbing Mount Everest is work for Supermen", The New York Times (18 March 1923); on being asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest:
 * "Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?" This question was asked of George Leigh Mallory, who was with both expeditions toward the summit of the world’s highest mountain, in 1921 and 1922, and who is now in New York. He plans to go again in 1924, and he gave as the reason for persisting in these repeated attempts to reach the top, "Because it's there."

 * One comes to bless the absolute bareness, feeling that here is a pure beauty of form, a kind of ultimate harmony.
 * Letter to his wife Ruth Mallory (1921), acquitted in Everest: The Mountaineering History (2000) by Walt Unsworth, p. 47; also The Wildest Dream: The Biography of George Mallory (2001) by Peter Gillman and Leni Gillman, p. 13

 * I look back on tremendous efforts & exhaustion & dismal looking out of a tent door on to a dismal world of snow and vanishing hopes - & yet, & yet, & yet there have been a good many things to set the other side.
 * Diary entry (27 May 1924), published in Kingdom of Adventure — Everest (2006) by L. V. Stewart Blacker, p. 124

 * Gradually, very gradually, we saw the great mountain sides and glaciers and aretes, now one fragment and now another through the floating rifts, until far higher in the sky than imagination had dared to suggest the white summit of Everest appeared.
 * Mount Everest, The Reconnaissance (1921), Chapter XII: The Northern Approach, "The Reconnaissance of the Mountain", p. 186

 * Why do we travel to remote locations? To prove our adventurous spirit or to tell stories about incredible things? We do it to be alone amongst friends and to find ourselves in a land without man.
 * The Wildest Dream: The Biography of George Mallory (2001), p. 53
