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

User talk:MosheZadka/WikiProject welcoming committee

Moshe - This looks good to me. It offers a concise, systematic checklist for looking at new articles. My only nit-picky comment regards the step where you suggest adding the link to WP at either the top or bottom of the page. I usually put it at the bottom, under the heading of "External links" Isn't this fairly standard? If so, shouldn't this guide specify putting the link at the bottom, rather than at the top? I know it's nit-picking, but otherwise I think it's great! UDScott 21:25, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Nit-picking is welcomed! However, there is reason to the madness: this is intended to be a "10 second guide": if you do only the minimum, and you did need to edit the article, chances are, the article ends up looking like crap. That's ok, because in that case, before editing, it was actually worse crap :) So keep in mind that this guide is "making crap slightly better", not "making good articles", and the guide aims to help one accomplish it in 10 seconds. This is because we often neglect newpage patrol, and after a week you end up with 50 articles which need to be fixed: even at 10 seconds each, it is a mind-numbing 8 minutes, and if it's any more, chances are you'll give up :) This kept in mind, I often don't have the energy to actually put in a real introduction in the article: in those cases, a wikipedia box at the top serves as a kind of stop-gap introduction (in all those cases, I add a cleanup tag). I've edited the page to clarify this now, and thanks for allowing me to use an edit summary which I've never thought I'd use until editing a BDSM article :) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 21:38, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Pat Robertson

What is the A-J, P-Z for?

Dateline Hollywood is clearly a satire site, so the quotation from it should not be on this page unless there is an independent source (however, it's clear from context that it originated with Dateline Hollywood).

Is there a source to the quote, "The Antichrist is probably a Jew alive in Israel today."? Because it seems like something Pat Robertson wouldn't say. He is a strong supporter of Israel.

So is there a reputable source? If there is not, it should be deleted.

 * I added a published source for this quote : "The Christian Paradox", Harper's Magazine (August 2005). It seems to be an old quote widely mentioned without any dispute or denial on the web, but I haven't yet found any publication, broadcast, or pronunciation date for the original statement. ~ Achilles † 21:33, 6 December 2005 (UTC) PS: This article should be reformatted along standard lines. I intend to work on this, perhaps in a few hours, but I won't have the time right away. ~ Achilles † 21:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

 * A strong supporter of Israel for his own reasons - like the rest of the fundamentalist community. Have you read the book of revelations scenario they're all salivating for?  In the end, it doesn't work out so well for the Jews.
 * Let me point out though that just because he thinks the anti-Christ belongs to a certain nationality doesn't necessarily mean he's attacking that nationality as a whole - though given the man's penchant for black and white thinking, it is more than likely. 213.181.226.21 16:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Edward de Bono

Edward Charles Francis Publius de Bono (19 May 1933, in Malta – 9 June 2021) was a British physician, author, inventor, and consultant. He was most famous as the originator of the term lateral thinking (structured creativity) and a leading proponent of the deliberate teaching of thinking in schools.

Quotes

 * Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.
 * Quoted in Observer (London, 12 June 1977)

 * Humour is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.
 * Daily Mail (London, 29 January 1990)

 * Studies have shown that 90% of error in thinking is due to error in perception. If you can change your perception, you can change your emotion and this can lead to new ideas.
 * Teaching Thinking (1991)

 * Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
 * Serious Creativity: Using the Power of Lateral Thinking to Create New Ideas (1992)

 * Instead of striving to be right at high cost, it will be more appropriate to be flexible and plural at a lower cost. If you cannot accurately predict the future then you must flexibly be prepared to deal with various possible futures.
 * Serious Creativity: Using the Power of Lateral Thinking to Create New Ideas (1992)

 * I think there is a danger with young people of being dependent in the sense that they don't acquire any identity or self-image of themselves as thinkers. They just go and look it up or they just chat with someone. In other words, relying on something rather than saying: "Okay, I've got the information, how do I create value from it?"
 * When asked "Have we become too reliant on computers?", in "Deep thought" by Hamish Mackintosh, in The Guardian (23 September 1999)

Lateral Thinking : Creativity Step by Step (1970)

 * Lateral Thinking : Creativity Step by Step, partly online

 * At school the emphasis has traditionally always been on vertical thinking which is effective but incomplete. This selective type of thinking needs to be supplemented with the generative qualities of creative thinking. This is beginning to happen in some schools but even so creativity is usually treated as something desirable which is to be brought about by vague exhortation. There is no deliberate and practical procedure for bringing it about.
 * p. 5; Preface

 * Lateral thinking... is the process of using information to bring about creativity and insight restructuring. Lateral thinking can be learned, practised and used. It is possible to acquire skill in it just as it is possible to acquire skill in mathematics.
 * p. 5; Preface

 * Lateral thinking is closely related to insight, creativity and humour. All four processes have the same basis. But whereas insight, creativity and humour can only be prayed for, lateral thinking is a more deliberate process. It is as definite a way of using the mind as logical thinking — but a very different way.
 * p. 6; First paragraph of the introduction

 * You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper.
 * p. 8

 * Rightness is what matters in vertical thinking. Richness is what matters in lateral thinking. Vertical thinking selects a pathway by excluding other pathways. Lateral thinking does not select but seeks to open up other pathways. With vertical thinking one selects the most promising approach to a problem, the best way of looking at a situation. With lateral thinking one generates as many alternative approaches as one can.
 * p. 29

 * With vertical thinking one may look for different approaches until one finds a promising one. With lateral thinking one goes on generating as many approaches as one can even after one has found a promising one. With vertical thinking one is trying to select the best approach but with lateral thinking one is generating different approaches for the sake of generating them.
 * p. 29

 * Vertical thinking is selection by exclusion. One works within a frame of reference and throws out what is not relevant. With lateral thinking one realizes that a pattern cannot be restructured from within itself but only as the result of some outside influence. So one welcomes outside influences for their provocative action. The more irrelevant such influences are the more chance there is of altering the established pattern. To look only for things that are relevant means perpetuating the current pattern.
 * p. 32, as cited in 1994 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings (1994), p. 165

 * A flock of sheep was moving slowly down a country lane which was bounded by high banks. A motorist in a hurry came up behind the flock and urged the shepherd to move his sheep to the side so that the car could drive through. The shepherd refused since he could not be sure of keeping all the sheep out of the way of the car in such a narrow lane. Instead he reversed the situation. He told the car to stop and then he quietly turned the flock round and drove it back past the stationary car.
 * p. 100; cited in (1989) Effective Nursing Leadership: A Practical Guide (1989), by Virginia K. Baillie et al, p. 244

 * The concept of logical thinking is selection and this is brought about by the processes of acceptance and rejection. Rejection is the basis of logical thinking.
 * p. 159

 * The rejection process is incorporated in the concept of the negative. The negative is a judgement device. It is the means whereby one rejects certain arrangements of information. The negative is used to carry out judgement and to indicate rejection. The concept of the negative is crystallized into a definite language tool. This language tool consists of the words no and not. Once one learns the function and use of these words one has learned how to use logical thinking. The whole concept of logical thinking is concentrated in the use of this language tool. Logic could be said to be the management of NO.
 * p. 159

 * The concept of lateral thinking is insight restructuring and this is brought about through the rearrangement of information. Rearrangement is the basis of lateral thinking and rearrangement means escape from the rigid patterns established by experience. The rearrangement process is incorporated in the concept of the (re) laxative. The laxative is a rearranging device. It is the means whereby one can escape from established patterns and create new ones. The laxative allows the arrangement of information in new ways from which new patterns can arise. The concept of the laxative is crystallized into a definite language tool. This language tool is PO. Once one learns the function and use of PO one has learned how to use lateral thinking. The whole concept of lateral thinking is concentrated in the use of this language tool. Lateral thinking could be said to be the management of PO just as logical thinking is the management of NO.
 * p. 159

 * Design is really a special case of problem solving. One wants to bring about a desired state of affairs. Occasionally one wants to remedy some fault but more usually one wants to bring about something new. For that reason design is more open ended than problem solving. It requires more creativity. It is not so much a matter of linking up a clearly defined objective with a clearly defined starting position (as in problem solving) but more a matter of starting out from a general position in the direction of a general objective
 * p. 198; Cited in: Eddie Norman, Urry (1995) Advanced design and technology. p. 65-66

Iraq? They just need to think it through (2007)

 * Quotes of de Bono from |title = "Edward de Bono: 'Iraq? They just need to think it through'" by Angela Balakrishnan in The Guardian (27 April 2007)

 * What happened was, 2,400 years ago, the Greek Gang of Three, by whom I mean Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, started to think based on analysis, judgment and knowledge. At the same time, church people, who ran the schools and universities, wanted logic to prove the heretics wrong. As a result, design and perceptual thinking was never developed. People assumed philosophers were doing it and so they blocked anyone else from doing it. But philosophers were not. Philosophers may look out at the world from a stained-glass window, but after a while they stop looking at the world and start looking at the stained glass.

 * Usually in an argument, I can see the other person's point of view. It comes down to three basic things: different information, different perception and different values. Once you can see where people come from you can consider if the other person has better information and compare their values and perceptions to yours. I am willing to listen.

 * Creative thinking — in terms of idea creativity — is not a mystical talent. It is a skill that can be practised and nurtured. You can never tell how a policy has been reached just by looking at the end result. Some people who have achieved a huge amount do not come across as impressive when you speak to them.

 * There isn't just one point; it takes time to learn. You don't have to be intelligent, but I think you have to be open to possibilities and willing to explore. The only stupid people are those who are arrogant and closed off.

Quotes about Edward de Bono

 * Edward de Bono is the Cambridge academic who is making a lot of money out of peddling his ideas about "lateral thinking" to managers, bureaucrats and anyone else who will pay to listen. Whether the concept of lateral thinking is pure hokum or a precious revelation is a matter of some controversy. Either way, de Bono has won himself a small niche in communications history as the star of Britain's first complete, video-cassette-oriented film series, "Organised creativity and lateral thinking".
 * Timothy Johnson, in "Science and the paymasters: Videocasettes: What happened",  Vol. 52, No. 774, (16 December 1971), p. 177

 * De Bono’s research concluded that the brain is indeed a self-organizing system that routinely interprets inputs into patterns. It is not then inherently designed for creativity. However, if certain lateral thinking tools are applied, the brain can be encouraged or trained to become more creative.
 * J. Bailey, in "Profile lateral thinking: Edward De Bono" in Engineering Management Journal, 17(5) (2007), p. 46

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle is a 2004 film about buttoned up Harold and laid back Kumar who are stoners who want to get food at a White Castle Burgers joint, which becomes a perilous journey full of strange obstacles.
 * Directed by Danny Leiner. Written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg.

Fast Food. High Times.

Kumar Patel

 * [to Harold, about Cindy] So she's kinda fucking cute. Let her touch your penis.
 * [last line before the credits] Hey, Roldy, you do realize what's legal in Amsterdam, don't you?

Harold Lee

 * [to Maria in elevator, after seeing luggage at her feet] Sure got a lotta baggage.
 * [about to ride cheetah] This is either a really smart move or by far the stupidest thing that we have ever tried.
 * Did Doogie Howser just steal my fucking car?

Others

 * Anchor: Police in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, have just arrested a gang of hooligans who are suspected of terrorizing numerous strip malls and convenience stores. Officer Thurmond Brucks found their abandoned car, which contained a large bag of marijuana. And in other news, the Muckleburg police department are still looking for a fugitive who escaped from the police station last night with a companion believed to be his accomplice. Police have released sketches of the two fugitives which they believe to be extremely accurate.
 * Palumbo: [upon being arrested for brutality and racism] I'm not a [bleep] racist, all right? You mother [bleep]. Those black mother [bleep] won't get away with this, a'right?! So, [bleep] falls to all y'all! Okay?! So you can suck my [bleep]!

Dialogue

 * [after Harold has been placed in a cell with Tarik Jackson]
 * Harold: So, what are you in here for?
 * Tarik: For bein' black.
 * Harold: Seriously?
 * Tarik: I am serious. Wanna know what happened?
 * [Harold nods]
 * Tarik: I was walkin' out of a Barnes and Noble, and the cop stops me. Now, evidently, a black guy robbed a store in Newark. I told him, "I haven't even been to Newark in months". So he starts beatin' me with his gun, telling me to stop resisting arrest.
 * Harold: Holy shit. What'd you do?
 * Tarik: I kept sayin': "I understand I'm under arrest. Now, please stop beatin' me!".
 * Harold: I don't understand how you can be so calm about all this.
 * Tarik: Look at me. I'm fat, black, can't dance, and I have 2 gay fathers. People have been messin' with me my whole life. I learned a long time ago that there's no sense gettin' all riled up every time a bunch of idiots give you a hard time. In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should. Plus, I have a really large penis. That keeps me happy.

 * Harold: The universe tends to unfold as it should.
 * Kumar: What is that? Some fortune cookie?

 * [cops left moments earlier to check out a shooting in Millbrook Park]
 * Kumar: [from inside a heating duct at the police station, where Harold is in jail] Rold? Is that you?
 * Harold: Kumar?
 * Kumar: Hey, are the cops still here?
 * Harold: What the hell are you doing?
 * Kumar: I just called and made up some story about a shooting in Millbrook Park.
 * Harold: Jesus Christ, what'd you do that for?
 * Kumar: I'm fucking starving. I figured I'd bust you out and we'd go get some burgers.

 * Kumar: [sniffs] Hey, what's that smell?
 * Harold: What smell? Kumar.
 * Kumar: [starts sniffing like a crazed bloodhound, and then sees a huge bag of marijuana, his eyes widen]
 * Harold: Hey Kumar! Kumar! Where are you--?
 * [Kumar rushes to the bag of marijuana]
 * Harold: Kumar! Still in jail, asshole! Come here!

 * Martone: [notices the jail door keys in the jail door, and Tarik Jackson sitting inside the cell reading a book] Hey! Jackson's trying to escape!
 * Tarik: What are you talking about? I'm just sitting here.
 * Reilly: He's trying to break free! Get him!
 * Tarik: Aw, shit.
 * [he gets up as the cops hold him to the wall; Tarik still holds his book in hand]
 * Martone: Don't move. Stop resisting! We need back up now! He's got a gun!
 * Tarik: That's not a gun, that's a book.
 * Reilly: Secure the book!
 * Palumbo: Book is secure. You bring this filth in here? What is this shit?!

 * Harold: I want that.
 * Kumar: What? A Hot Dog Heaven super chili cheese dog?
 * Harold: No. I want that feeling. The feeling that comes over a man when he gets exactly what he desires. I need that feeling.
 * Kumar: Are you saying what I think you're saying?
 * Harold: We gotta go to White Castle.
 * Kumar: Yes! Yes! I knew you had it in you dude!

 * Harold: Neil, you wouldn't happen to know how to get on the highway from here, would you?
 * Harris: Dude, I don't even know where the fuck I am right now. I was at this party earlier tonight and some guy hooked me up with this incredible "X"--next thing I know I'm being thrown out of a moving car. I've been trippin' balls ever since.
 * Kumar: That's crazy, dude. We've been having a pretty crazy, night, too. We've just been driving around looking for White Castle but we keep getting sidetracked.
 * Harris: Yeah, dude, you fascinate me. Forget White Castle, let's go get some pussy.
 * Harold: Huh?
 * Harris: It's a fucking sausage fest in here, bros. Let's get some poon-tang. Then we'll go to White Castle.
 * Kumar: No, Neil, you don't understand. We've been craving these burgers all night.
 * Harris: Yeah, I've been craving burgers, too--fur burgers. Come on, dudes, let's pick up some trim at a strip club. The Doogie line always works on strippers. [sings] Lap-dance.
 * Kumar: [pause] There's a gas station. I'm gonna see if I can get some directions.
 * Harris: You don't need dir--gah. Hurry up, dudes, hurry up! I'm losing wood.
 * [they park, pause]
 * Harris: Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.
 * Kumar: Look, chill.
 * Harold: We'll be right back, Neil.
 * [they exit the car]
 * Harold: Dude, what's the deal with Neil Patrick Harris? Why is he so horny?

 * Harold: Did Doogie Howser just steal my fucking car?
 * Kumar: Yes. I think he did.
 * Harold: [starts screaming] You! You had to pick up a hitchhiker! Why?!
 * Kumar: Dude, I thought Neil Patrick Harris was a stand up guy. How was I supposed to know he'd fuck us over?

 * Harold: Dude, where's my car?
 * Kumar: Where's his car, dude?

 * Kumar: Do you know what the hell we had to go through after you took the car?
 * Harris: Yeah, it was a dick move on my part. That's why I'm paying for your meal. [looks down to count money, lowers voice] Prick.

 * [Kumar is licking Harold to wake him up]
 * Harold: What the hell are you doing?! God!
 * Kumar: Well, you were out cold, I figured if I started doing some gay shit you'd wake up.
 * Harold: Didn't we come here on a cheetah? Where's the cheetah?
 * Kumar: It ran away. Listen, I got some bad news and some worse news.
 * Harold: Okay, give me the worse news first.
 * Kumar: I was looking at some of the roadsigns, and it looks like the cheetah took us in a completely different direction.
 * Harold: What's the bad news?
 * Kumar: Your laptop's completely destroyed.
 * Harold: [shouts] What? How is that not the worse news!?
 * Kumar: [calmly] Well, the laptop situation really only affects you, where as the White Castle situation affects us both equally.

 * Dr. Patel: I will not tolerate this business from you any longer. You have one more interview tomorrow morning, and if I hear from Dr. Wein that you are anything short of spectacular, I'll completely cut you off!
 * Kumar: Dad, come on.
 * Dr. Patel: Daddy is not coming on anything! You will be there, and you will behave. I have put too much time and energy into you to let you go and fuck it all up!

 * Kumar: I can't believe you were gonna ditch for the Joy Luck Club, dude. You know what their parties are like.
 * Harold: C'mon, what did you want me to say? I was under pressure.
 * Kumar: Just say no. That's all it takes.
 * Kumar: Here.
 * [hands Harold the joint]
 * Kumar: Take a hit of that.

 * Rosenberg: I think Kumar's a "fay-gele".
 * Goldstein: Oh, they're totally gay for each other.

 * Goldstein: Uh-huh. Mmm.

 * Bradley: [Kumar trying to buy pot] Here, that's sixt--80 bucks.
 * Kumar: 80 bucks?
 * Bradley: Yeah, 80 bucks.
 * Kumar: Yo, this is worth 40 tops bro!
 * Bradley: Bro? I'm not your bro, bro. Okay, and that's 80 bucks. You don't feel like getting high tonight? If you don't feel like getting high, that's cool with me because there's lots of people around here. See this guy? Hey, what's up, George? I smoke buds with George all the time.
 * Kumar: What kind of a hippie are you?
 * Bradley: What kind of hippie am I? Man, I'm a business hippie, I understand the concept of supply and demand.

 * Harold: Dude, we're so high right now!
 * Kumar: We're not low.

 * Kumar: Now we're in Newark, of all places. You know we're gonna get shot.
 * Harold: Maybe it's not as bad as they say. Maybe it's just a bunch of hype.
 * Kumar: Check it out. Those guys look like a lame version of us.
 * [two guys get jumped and beaten with a 2x4 and other weapons]

 * [assailants stop beating up the two guys, look up and pause, then continue with the assaults while the two men lay on the ground moaning]
 * Harold: Let's get the fuck outta here. Go! Go! Drive! Drive!
 * Kumar: Yeah, that was your fault.
 * Harold: Fuck you.
 * Kumar: Fuck you.

 * Burger Shack Employee: Ding-dong! May I interject for a second? As a Burger Shack employee for the past three years, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you're craving White Castle, the burgers here just don't cut it. In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... Just makes me wanna burn this motherfucker down.
 * [he turns to his partner]
 * Employee: Come on, Pookie! Let's burn this motherfucker down! [starts destroying stuff] Come on, Pookie! Let's burn it, Pookie! Let's burn this motherfucker down! Let's burn it down! Let's burn it! [calms down] So you guys maybe should just suck it up and go to White Castle.

 * Employee: You guys might have wanted to stay away from our special sauce tonight. Me and Pookie, we added a secret ingredient. I'll give you a hint. It's semen.
 * [bursts out laughing]
 * Harold: [smirks] Semen.
 * Employee: Animal semen.
 * [Harold and Kumar scream and drive off as fast as possible]

 * Harold: Are those my scissors?! Dude, I trim my noise hair with those!
 * Kumar: Dude, I have been cutting my ass hair with them for the past six months.

[Harold stares at Kumar in shock and disbelief]

 * Harold: [riding a cheetah] Dude, am I really high, or is this actually working?
 * Kumar: Both.

 * Goldstein: Sorry, kids. We ain't goin' nowhere. We're watching "The Gift". Supposedly Katie Holmes shows her titties in this movie.
 * Harold: Is that all you Jews ever think about? Tits?
 * Rosenberg: Katie Holmes is a nice, respectable, wholesome girl, and I'm gonna see her boobs.
 * Goldstein: The things I would eat out of her ass--you have no idea!
 * Rosenberg: Argh! That is a completely vulgar statement.
 * Goldstein: So is, "I wanna bang Britney Spears on the bathroom floor," but it's true.
 * Rosenberg: Touché.

 * Dr. Willoughby: Do you actually believe that after the way you've just behaved that I would even consider recommending you for admission?
 * Kumar: No. I'm gonna be honest with you. The only reason I'm applying is so my dad will keep paying for my apartment. I really don't have a desire to go to med school.
 * Dr. Willoughby: But you have perfect MCAT scores.
 * Kumar: Yeah, just cause you're hung like a moose doesn't mean you gotta do porn.

 * Harold: I am so hungry. I'm gonna eat, like, 20 of those burgers, man.
 * Kumar: Dude, fuckin' I will see your 20 burgers and raise you 5 orders of fries.

 * Harold: I want 30 sliders, 5 french fries, and 4 large Cherry Cokes.
 * Kumar: I want the same, except make mine Diet Cokes, Chuck.

 * Harold: Back off, cock boy. What I said him goes double for you.
 * J.D.: Cock boy? You just call me cock boy?
 * Harold: Yeah, you know I did. You're just stalling 'cause you're not quick enough to think of a comeback.
 * J.D.: You think I'm not quick enough. Guy thinks I'm not quick enough. Well I got news for you. I am quick enough... Cock boy! [raises an index finger in a vain attempt to flip Harold off]

 * Kumar: I forgot my cell phone.
 * Harold: You wanna run back and get it?
 * [both turn and look at their front door 20 feet from them]
 * Kumar: No, we've gone too far.

 * Freakshow: What the hell are you doing with my wife?
 * Harold: Y-you said outside that we could have sex with her!
 * Kumar: Shit! Shit!
 * Freakshow: I most certainly did not!
 * Harold: Yes you did!
 * Freakshow: Did not!
 * Kumar: Yes you did!
 * Freakshow: Oh, no, I didn't.
 * Kumar: You did, you did.
 * Freakshow: You sure?
 * Harold: You said it.
 * Freakshow: [laughs] My mistake. Well, since we're all here, how 'bout a four-some?

 * Harold: Do you know the show Doogie Howser, M.D.?
 * Palumbo: Great show. God I love that show. Doogie.
 * Harold: Neil Patrick Harris stole my car tonight.
 * Palumbo: Hey! NPH wouldn't do that!

 * Kumar: How were Katie Holmes' tits?
 * Goldstein: You know the Holocaust?
 * Kumar: Yeah?
 * Goldstein: Picture the opposite of that.
 * Kumar: Nice!

 * Kumar: [in surgery] Hang on a second, nurse. What we should probably use is marijuana. That'll sufficiently sedate the patient for surgery.
 * Nurse: Marijuana? But why?
 * Kumar: We don't have time for questions. We need marijuana now, as much of it as possible! Like a big bag of it.
 * Nurse: But, doctor, we don't have marijuana in this hospital.

 * Palumbo: What kind of name is that anyhow? Kumar? What is that 5 o's or 2 u's?
 * Kumar: No, it's actually one "u".
 * Palumbo: Yeah, bullshit.

 * Kumar: [whispers] Dude, look at that boil on his neck, it's pulsating!
 * Harold: [whispers] Shut up, dude. He probably heard what you just said.
 * Kumar: No, he can't. Look at it now! Pus is coming out!
 * Harold: [looks at Freakshow's neck] Ugh!
 * Kumar: Isn't that the sickest thing you've ever seen?
 * Harold: Just shut up! He's right next to me. He can hear me talking to you He probably heard this whole conversation!
 * Kumar: No, he didn't. He can't hear anything with all that crust in his ear.
 * [long awkward pause]
 * Freakshow: [low voice]'' I heard everything you said.
 * [Later, at Freakshow's house]
 * Freakshow: It's gonna take me awhile to fix your car...so if you want, you can go inside, get something to drink, wash up, fuck my wife, watch TV, anything you want. Mi casa es su casa. Just don't do anything the Good Lord wouldn't do.

 * Kumar: So where you going to go now, Neil?
 * Harris: [puts on sunglasses] Wherever God takes me.
 * [he sets off]

About Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

 * We came up with White Castle because it has a history of being a place where intoxicated people go at the end of the night. But then we did see it as a sort of metaphor. It’s about the burgers, but it’s more than just the burgers.
 * Jon Hurwitz in "Mining Post-9/11 America for Laughs", by Dennis Lim, New York Times, April 20, 2008

Talk:Tina Fey

Tina Fey, according to the corresponding wikipedia article, does not write her own material on Weekend Update. The article here says, "as told by Tina Fey" but it should be clearer, I think that she did not write all this material.

There are two quotes about a network refusing to air a political ad here, one for ABC and one for CBS. Were there actaully two such quotes, or did someone misremember the same one?

Sidiq Koya

Sidiq Koya (1924–1993) was a Fijian statesman of Indian descent, who played a leading role in the negotiations that led to independence from the United Kingdom in 1970.

Quotes

 * ...I would now say something, which I never said before … It is the international convention, if it is not a law, that when independence is granted to a people of a country by a deed of cession, the sovereignty of that country is transferred to the people of the country that assigned the deed. If I were not the Leader of the Opposition and if I was not born in Fiji … and held a brief for the Fijian people in the 1965 London Constitutional Conference, I would have made the Britishers sit up and think what they were doing to the Fijian people in this country.  It was their country in 1874, it was their country in 1965 … what was there to stop the Fijian people saying, 'Your Majesty give the country back to us.' The immigrant races - Europeans, Rotumans, Chinese, et cetera, would be looked after by us.  They are our guests.

Talk:George Best

I think that george best is the best there ever was and ever has been. Its sad to no he wasted the greatest years of his career from drinking but with drink are no drink gearge best is still the biggest legend and best footballer in the history of the game. he could have played drunk and mayby even did and scored 3 in any match he is a legend to everyone in his native country NORTHERN IRELAND. i've been looking for an internet site to also tell me who is the best. Will voted anyway and it angers me to see that he is'nt even in the top 10 of those i've checked. I would just like to make it very clear that there is no doubt in my mind that geaorge best is the best there ever was and will be and he will be (FOREEVER LOVED AND REMEMBERED) as one thing only and that is the best there ever was.

I think it shouldn't be deleted since George Best is a major celebrity, as for the sourced quotations sadly i haven't got the time to add that but as wikipedia is a media which the readers contribute to, i'm sure that the page will eventually get into the right format for a wikiquote page. You can add the "page need work to fit wiki criterion" or whatever it is, i'm sure you know better than me. Deletation is not the answer for everything.

Patrick White

Patrick Victor Martindale White (28 May 1912 – 30 September 1990) was an Australian novelist and winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Quotes

 * Possibly all art flowers more readily in silence. Certainly the state of simplicity and humility is the only desirable one for artist or for man. While to reach it may be impossible, to attempt to do so is imperative. Stripped of almost everything that I had considered desirable and necessary, I began to try. Writing, which had meant the practice of an art by a polished mind in civilised surroundings, became a struggle to create completely fresh forms out of the rocks and sticks of words. I began to see things for the first time. Even the boredom and frustration presented avenues for endless exploration; even the ugliness, the bags and iron of Australian life, acquired a meaning. As for the cat's cradle of human intercourse, this was necessarily simplified, often bungled, sometimes touching. Its very tentativeness can be reward. There is always the possibility that the book lent, the record played, may lead to communication between human beings. There is the possibility that one may be helping to people a barely inhabited country with a race possessed of understanding. These, then, are some of the reasons why an expatriate has stayed, in the face of those disappointments which follow inevitably upon his return.
 * "The Prodigal Son" (1958)

The Tree of Man (1955)

 * Conversation is imperative if gaps are to be filled, and old age, it is the last gap but one.

 * Loonies speak their own language, like educated people.

The Burnt Ones (1964)

 * Collection of short stories.

 * If she had only been able to touch him, they might perhaps have pooled their secrets and discovered the reason for human confusion. But as that wasn't possible, she went outside, into the garden.
 * "Dead Roses"

In The Making (1970)

 * Religion. Yes, that's behind all my books. What I am interested in is the relationship between the blundering human being and God. I belong to no church, but I have a religious faith; it's an attempt to express that, among other things, that I try to do. Whether he confesses to being religious or not, everyone has a religious faith of a kind. I myself am a blundering human being with a belief in God who made us and we got out of hand, a kind of Frankenstein monster. Everyone can make mistakes, including God. I believe God does intervene; I think there is a Divine Power, a Creator, who has an influence on human beings if they are willing to be open to him.

 * In my books I have lifted bits from various religions in trying to come to a better understanding; I've made use of religious themes and symbols. Now, as the world becomes more pagan, one has to lead people in the same direction in a different way.

 * Why can't a writer use writing as a painter uses paint? I try to. When I wrote The Tree of Man I felt I couldn't write about simple, illiterate people in a perfectly literate way; but in my present novel the language is more sophisticated. I think perhaps I have clarified my style quite a lot over the years. I find it a great help to hear the language going on around me; not that what I write, the narrative, is idiomatic Australian, but the whole work has a balance and rhythm which is influenced by what is going on around you. When you first write the narrative it might be unconscious, but when you come to work it over you do it more consciously. It gives what I am writing a greater feeling of reality.

 * The essence of what you have to say you pick up before you're twenty.

 * I always like to write three versions of a book. The first is always agony and chaos; no one could understand it. With the second you get the shape, it's more or less all right. I write both of those in longhand. The third draft I type out with two fingers: it's for refining of meaning, additions and subtractions. I think my novels usually begin with characters; you have them floating about in your head and it may be years before they get together in a situation. Characters interest me more than situations.

 * I have the same idea with all my books: an attempt to come close to the core of reality, the structure of reality, as opposed to the merely superficial. The realistic novel is remote from art. A novel should heighten life, should give one an illuminating experience; it shouldn't set out what you know already. I just muddle away at it. One gets flashes here and there, which help. I am not a philosopher or an intellectual. Practically anything I have done of any worth I feel I have done through my intuition, not my mind - which the intellectuals disapprove of. And that is why I am anathema to certain kinds of Australian intellectual.

 * I've lost interest in the theatre because you can't get what you want ever. I used to think it would be wonderful to see what you had written come to life. Here in Australia it's very hard to get an adequate performance because of the state of the theatre; but even if you have the best actors in the world it's never what you visualised. One can't say all one wants to say, one can't convey it.

 * I am interested in detail. I enjoy decoration. By accumulating this mass of detail you throw light on things in a longer sense: in the long run it all adds up. It creates a texture — how shall I put it — a background, a period, which makes everything you write that much more convincing. Of course, all artists are terrible egoists. Unconsciously you are largely writing about yourself. I could never write anything factual; I only have confidence in myself when I am another character. All the characters in my books are myself, but they are a kind of disguise.

Australians in a Nuclear War (1983)

 * Online text

 * In the last couple of years I've been doing this sort of thing constantly, often repeating myself, becoming an avoidable Doomsday bore. But anything of importance — like a garden, a human relationship, a child, a religious faith, even the most convinced brand of atheism has to be worked on constantly if it is to survive.

 * In recent years we have been served up a lot of claptrap about the need for a national identity. We have been urged to sing imbecile jingles, flex our muscles like the sportsmen from telly commercials, and display a heart optimism totally unconvincing because so superficial an unnatural. Those who preach this doctrine are usually the kind of chauvinist who is preparing his country, not to avert war, but to engage in it.

 * Many of those who hear me believe I am putting on an act, while others who had considered I am one who surely knows the answers, are depressed to find that, by my own admission, I don't. What I do know for certain is that what is regarded as success in a rational materialistic society only impresses superficial minds. It amounts to nothing and will not help us rout the destructive forces threatening us today. What may be our salvation is the discovery of the identity hidden deep in any one of us, and which may be found in even the most desperate individual, if he cares to search the spiritual womb which contains the embryo of what can be one's personal contribution to truth and life.

 * The ideal of non-attachment has been preached again and again in the course of the last 3000 years. It is found in Hinduism, the teachings of Buddha, the doctrine of Lao Tsu, in the philosophy of the Greek Stoics. The Gospel of Jesus is essentially one of non-attachment to the things of this world, and of attachment to God. What the Jewish philosopher Spinoza calls "blessedness" is simply the state of non-attachment, just as Spinoza's "human bondage" is the condition of one who identifies himself with his own desires, emotions, and thought processes, or with their objects in the external world.

 * I can only stick my neck out and offer my humble beliefs. If I become an outsider by doing so, this won't be a great hardship as I've been that as far back as I can remember — something strange and unacceptable in the eyes of those who believe they see straight. At least it's given me courage of a kind, which I'd like every Australian to acquire.

 * I don't think I am ghoulish in saying that I would like them, and every morally responsible citizen of the world, particularly my fellow Australians of the World War II period, to refresh their memories by referring regularly to the photographic record of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki happening — the rags of human flesh, the suppurating sores, the despair of families blown apart, the disturbed minds, the bleak black gritty plains where the homes of human beings like you and I once stood. Most of all, I would like every Australian couple born since Hiroshima and Nagasaki were blasted out of existence to consult these photographic records and for ever after do all in their power to prevent the children they are creating from suffering a fate similar to that thrust upon the children of those two Japanese cities. Let us rouse ourselves and realise this is what we shall have to face.

 * I have derived immense comfort, hope, faith, inspiration from a great American, the Cistercian monk-teacher-activist Thomas Merton. Initially a contemplative religious, Merton's spiritual drive was aimed at halting the dehumanization of man in contemporary society, a sickness he saw as leading to mass violence and ultimately nuclear war. War of any kind is abhorrent. Remember that since the end of World War II, over 40 million people have been killed by conventional weapons. So, if we should succeed in averting nuclear war, we must not let ourselves be sold the alternative of conventional weapons for killing our fellow men. We must cure ourselves of the habit of war.

 * The spirit may triumph where politics (the League and the United Nations), socio-political faiths such as Marxism, Italian Fascism and German National-Socialism — all have failed. I see our only hope in faith, charity, and in humbling ourselves before man and God.

 * In the 14th Century an anonymous English mystic wrote a book called The Cloud of Unknowing, the main theme of which is that God cannot be apprehended by man's intellect and that only love can pierce the "cloud of unknowing" which lies between Him and us. I feel that in my own life anything I have done of possible worth has happened in spite of my gross, worldly self. I have been no more than the vessel used to convey ideas above my intellectual capacities. When people praise passages I have written, more often than not I can genuinely say, 'Did I write that?' I don't think this is due to my having a bad memory, because I have almost total recall of trivialities. I see it as evidence of the part the supernatural plays in lives which would otherwise remain earthbound.

Peter Carey

Peter Philip Carey (born 7 May, 1943), Australian novelist and writer. Winner of several literary awards (twice Booker Prize winner, three times Miles Franklin Award winner).

Illywhacker (1985)

 * He was referring, of course, to the gentleman employed by Henry Luce and you will note, at once, the slightly unpleasant and combative tone of the salesman but there is also so much glee contained in it, an anticipation of the joys of a difficult battle, that even a person of fine scruples, sensitive to the vulgarity of the salesman type (such as yourself, Professor) need not be offended but rather challenged by the contradiction contained herein, i.e. that this crass aggression can co-exist with an ability to draw very fine moral distinctions and to see, very objectively, the damage his father's business was doing to the fauna of the country he loved and that, further - like real estate for instance - it was one of those great Australian enterprises that generate wealth while making nothing new.

Al-Qaeda

al-Qaeda (Tanzim Qa`idat al-Jihad) is an Islamic group for global jihad. It has been designated as a terrorist group by most governments. It was founded by Abdullah Azzam, Osama bin Laden, and other Soviet-Afghan War veterans in 1988. Under bin Laden’s leadership, it carried out the September 11 attacks and fought with the United States in the War on Terror.

Quotes

 * Quotes by al-Qaeda members.

 * Terrorism can be commendable and it can be reprehensible. Terrifying an innocent person and terrorizing them is objectionable and unjust, also unjustly terrorizing people is not right. Whereas terrorizing oppressors and criminals and thieves and robbers is necessary for the safety of people and for the protection of their property.... The terrorism we practice is of the most commendable kind for it is directed at tyrants, the traitors who commit acts of treason against their own countries and their faith and their own prophet and their own nation. Terrorizing those and punishing them are necessary measures to straighten things and to make them right.
 * Osama bin Laden, Interview with John Miller of ABC News (May 1998)

 * It's enough that the two honorable sheiks, Sheik Osama and Sheik Ayman, remained like a lump in Bush's throat, and he tastes their bitterness morning and night. Secondly, the Jihad continued until Judgment Day.
 * Al-Qaeda Presents New Leader in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid, Who Threatens to Carry out Attacks against Turkey May 2007

 * We praise the Almighty, the Ominpotent, who humiliated and defeated America, the head of disbelief,” the statement reads. “We praise Him for breaking America’s back, tarnishing its global reputation and expelling it, disgraced and humiliated, from the Islamic land of Afghanistan... “On this historic occasion, we would like to offer our congratulations to the leadership of the Islamic Emirate, specifically Haibatullah Akhundzada,” the statement reads. “May Allah accept your martyrs – the men, women and children who offered sacrifices in this path!”

About

 * First of all, Al-Qaeda is a phenomenon...If it is an organization only, I have no link to the organization whatsoever, nor to Sheikh Osama bin Laden, nor to anybody in Al-Qaeda. It is the phenomenon of Al-Qaeda – what they believe, and what their own path is, what their own methods are. I believe Al-Qaeda... Every Muslim around the world shares many things with them. They pray toward the Ka'ba – we pray toward the Ka'ba. They pray five times a day – we pray five times a day. They are Muslims – we are Muslims. They fight against occupiers – we fight against occupiers. So we share with them all these Islamic values. But we don't share with them the structures, activities, and actions. Therefore, if you speak about Al-Qaeda as an organization with a particular dogma, a particular thought and method – definitely, I do not have a relationship with Al-Qaeda. Otherwise I do not think I would be at this table.
 * Omar Bakri,

 * William Braniff, the executive director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland, said the outsize fear of jihadist violence reflected memories of Sept. 11, the daunting scale of sectarian conflict overseas and wariness of a strain of Islam that seems alien to many Americans. “We understand white supremacists,” he said. “We don’t really feel like we understand Al Qaeda, which seems too complex and foreign to grasp.”
 * William Braniff as quoted by Scott Shane in "Homegrown Extremists Tied to Deadlier Toll Than Jihadists in U.S. Since 9/11". The New York Times, (June 24, 2015)

 * Americans have many questions tonight. Americans are asking: Who attacked our country? The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al-Qaeda. They are some of the same murderers indicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and responsible for bombing the USS Cole. Al-Qaeda is to terror what the mafia is to crime. But its goal is not making money; its goal is remaking the world—and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere. The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics—a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. The terrorists’ directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinction among military and civilians, including women and children.
 * George W. Bush, “Our Mission and Our Moment” speech (September 20, 2001)

 * To begin to bring troops home before our commanders tell us we are ready … would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al-Qaeda, risking a humanitarian catastrophe, and allowing the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq and gain control of vast oil resources they could use to fund new attacks on America.
 * George W. Bush, President's Radio Address, July 14, 2007

 * The famous nuclear strategist Herman Kahn likened deterrence to a game of chicken played by reckless teenagers who drive their cars at each other and wait for the "loser" to swerve. Kahn wrote that perhaps the best way to win is to "get into the car quite drunk" and, when your opponent is watching, to "[take] the steering wheel and [throw] it out the window" -- a pretty solid, if irresponsible, way of convincing your enemy that you are willing to act against your own best interest... ...Despite these problems, Israel has regularly tried to deter Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups. The record has been mixed. Fearing the Israeli response, these groups have at times limited attacks or refrained from them altogether, but they (and Israel) have resumed violence when their internal politics changed or because they believed the other side was behaving too provocatively. In addition to their use of terrorism, these groups also have mini-armies, run political parties, and operate schools and hospitals, making them more like quasi-states than a group like al Qaeda -- which isn't deterrable because it has no territory, is ideologically extreme, and has fewer constituents to lose. (Al Qaeda is always the drunk guy pushing the gas pedal down all the way after having thrown the wheel out the window.)
 * An Eye for a Tooth, Daniel L. Byman on the Brookings Institute Website

 * It's wrong to claim, as some do, that the motivation of al-Qaeda and its allies is some desire to seek justice in the middle east [...] al-Qaeda and its allies have no clear demands for the middle east. The only common thread in their approach is a violent and destructive opposition to democracy in any form. They find democracy in Palestine abhorrent and seek to destroy it.
 * Charles Clarke, Home Secretary, British Government, in debate in the House of Commons (26 October 2005)

 * Al-Qaeda and its allies have no clear demands for the middle east. The only common thread in their approach is a violent and destructive opposition to democracy in any form. They find democracy in Palestine abhorrent and seek to destroy it. … Al-Qaeda finds democracy in Israel abhorrent and seeks to destroy it. It finds democracy in Afghanistan abhorrent and seeks to destroy it. Now it finds the democracy in Iraq, which the United Nations is trying to support and establish, so abhorrent that it does whatever it can to try to destroy it. … Al-Qaeda's methods, too, are different. It recognises no common bonds with people who have different beliefs and its members are prepared to kill indiscriminately. Indeed, mass murder is their explicit objective — the measure of success in their terms. Their methods of recruitment bear more comparison to self-destructive cults than political movements. However, we must acknowledge that their modern nihilism is innovative, flexible and cunning. al-Qaeda and the networks that are inspired by it approach the task with all the resources of modern technology and all the focus of modern zealotry. The most important conclusion to draw from this analysis is that there is no particular Government policy decision, or even an overall policy stance, which we could change in order somehow to remove our society from the al-Qaeda firing line. Its nihilism means that our societies would cease to be a target only if we were to renounce all the values of freedom and liberty that we have fought to extend over so many years.
 * Charles Clarke, Home Secretary, British Government, in debate in the House of Commons (26 October 2005)

 * Al Qaeda has failed in its goals. The United States has succeeded, not so much in winning the war as in preventing the Islamists from winning, and, from a geopolitical perspective, that is good enough.
 * George Friedman, The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century, p. 32

 * [W]hat al Qaeda is fighting for is a traditional understanding of the family. This is not a minor part of their program: it is at its heart. The traditional family is built around some clearly defined principles. First, the home is the domain of the woman and life outside the house is the purview of the man. Second, sexuality is something confined to the family and the home, and extramarital, extrafamilial sexuality is unacceptable. Women who move outside the home invite extramarital sexuality just by being there. Third, women have as their primary tasks reproduction and nurturing of the next generation. Therefore, intense controls on women are necessary to maintain the integrity of the family and of society. In an interesting way it is all about women, and bin Laden's letter [to the U.S.] drives this home. What he hates about America is that it promotes a completely different view of women and the family.
 * George Friedman, The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century (2009), p. 50, Doubleday

 * Again, the [9/11] hijackers were described as deviants who had lost their way and did not represent either their society or the true Islam. But the Saudi hijackers were not outcasts, they weren’t even living on the far margins, not even the way Mansour had done. They had gone to school and learned the Quran, grown up in mostly middle-class, deeply religious families, and gone to university to study law. Some were school dropouts; only one of them had mental difficulties, for which he found solace at the mosque. They were imams in neighborhood mosques, or hafiz, men who had learned the entire Quran by heart. Most of them had gone briefly to Afghanistan, Bosnia, or Chechnya in 1999 or 2000, although few had made it to an actual battlefield.
 * Kim Ghattas, Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East (2020)

 * It shows how this group with 7th Century ideology is exploiting 21st Century media capabilities.
 * Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University commenting on al-Qaeda's open interview plan, BBC News (19 December 2007)

 * Al-Qaeda means Bush and Blair. Who established al-Qaeda? You are the ones who should be put on trial. You were the mother of al-Qaeda.
 * Terror in London (9) - Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati in Tehran Friday Sermon: The English Government May Have Caused the London Bombings Like the US Government May Have Caused 9/11, by Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati in July 2005

 * [D]iving into the “troves” of files that the Alec team collected, Storer had an epiphany moment: “I’m like, holy crap, it’s a terrorist organization.” Bin Laden’s fighters weren’t a loose federation but a bureaucracy, complete with a payroll and franchises. Yet even in the counterterrorist center, colleagues on other accounts remained doubtful that scattered fighters could pose an organized threat on the level of Hezbollah or Hamas. As Storer put it, many officers regarded the terrorists as “ragheads who lived in a cave,” when in fact the leaders were “doctors and lawyers and military officers who knew their shit.”
 * Cindy Storer as quoted by Gina Bennett, “The Wandering Mujahidin: Armed and Dangerous”; as quoted by Liza Mundy, “The Women Who Saw 9/11 Coming”, The Atlantic, (November 18, 2023); adapted from The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA.

 * She and a few other analysts had written nearly 40 warning items that year alone. She had a pile of papers two feet high on her desk, including one by the FAA about hijackings. Crafting the memo with the input of colleagues, Sude noted that bin Laden had implied in TV interviews that he wanted to follow the example of the 1993 World Trade Center bomber, Ramzi Yousef, and “bring the fighting to America.” The memo pointed out that the 1998 bombings of the embassies in East Africa, which bin Laden associates had scoped out as early as 1993, showed that al-Qaeda was patient and “not deterred by setbacks.” Al-Qaeda members “have resided in or traveled to the U.S. for years,” she wrote. Threat reporting suggested that bin Laden wanted to hijack a U.S. aircraft, and the FBI had noted patterns of activity suggesting “preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks.”
 * Barbara Sude, as quoted by Liza Mundy, “The Women Who Saw 9/11 Coming”, The Atlantic, (November 18, 2023); adapted from The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA.

 * Sude would always wonder: When President Bush was told of the existence of more than 70 FBI investigations into bin Laden activities in the American homeland, did the commander in chief worry? Did he ever call the FBI director and ask him what was going on? Bush later told congressional investigators that he felt heartened to learn of so many investigations. He took it to mean that things were under control. After the August 6 PDB ran, four weeks passed before the Bush administration had its first Cabinet-level meeting about the threat posed by al-Qaeda, on September 4, 2001.
 * Barbara Sude, as quoted by Liza Mundy, “The Women Who Saw 9/11 Coming”, The Atlantic, (November 18, 2023); adapted from The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA.

 * The US State Department's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism has found that going by the number of terror attacks and the number of killings of innocent citizens every year from 2012 until now, the big-five terror group consists of the IS, Taliban, Boko Haram, al Qaeda, and the Communist Party of India (Maoist).
 * US State Department's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism quoted in Vivek Agnihotri, Urban Naxals, The Making of Buddha in a Traffic Jam (2018, Garuda Prakashan)

 * Bin Laden is dead. Al-Qaida eventually will die. But the model that al-Qaida has created of an asymmetric terror group that has enormous consequences in the world well beyond the size of the group, that's going to endure. Other groups are going to try to follow that model.
 * Lawrence Wright, in interview with

Cherie Blair

Cherie Blair KC (born 23 September 1954), known professionally as Cherie Booth, is a British barrister. She is better known as the wife of the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair. She also thought of a political career and was a Labour Party candidate in 1983, but has concentrated on her legal career.

 * As long as young people feel they have got no hope but to blow themselves up you are never going to make progress.
 * Charles Reiss, Hugh Muir "Cherie suicide bombing gaffe", Evening Standard (18 June 2002), p. 1
 * Speech at the launch of Medical Aid for Palestinians charity, 18 June 2002, referring to Palestinian suicide bombers; she later apologised for "any offence" caused.

 * It is not fair to Tony or to the Government that the entire focus of political debate at the moment is about me. I know I'm in a very special position, I'm the wife of the Prime Minister, I have an interesting job and a wonderful family, but I also know I am not Superwoman. The reality of my daily life is that I'm juggling a lot of balls in the air. Some of you must experience that.
 * "'Maybe I should have asked more questions'", The Times, 11 December 2002, p. 4.
 * Address to the 'Partners in Excellence' awards presentation, 10 December 2002, commenting on the scandal of her use of convicted fraudster Peter Foster to help her buy two flats in Bristol.

 * My immediate instinct when faced with the questions from The Mail on Sunday ten days ago was to protect my family's privacy and particularly my son in his first term at university, living away from home.
 * Ibid.
 * Cherie's voice broke when she referred to her son leaving home.

 * For many women, becoming a widow does not just mean the heartache of losing a husband, but often losing everything else as well. In too many countries, a woman who is widowed becomes in effect a non-person. Through no fault of her own, she can suffer social discrimination, stigma and even violence, sometimes, as in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, being forced to “cleanse” herself by having sexual intercourse with a relative or stranger.
 * Cherie Blair, "Why widowhood is one of the developing world’s key problems", The Guardian, 20 June 2015, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/21/international-widows-day-poverty-social-exclusion

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

The Jacket

The Jacket is a 2005 psychological thriller film about a military veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia.
 * Directed by John Maybury. Written by Massy Tadjedin.

Jack Starks

 * The real events that have happened to me have been fucked up, not my mind!

 * I was 27 years old the first time I died. I remember there was white everywhere.  There was war and I felt alive, but really I was dead.

 * Sometimes I think we live through things only to be able to say that it happened. That it wasn't to someone else, it was to me. Sometimes we live to beat the odds. I'm not crazy even though they thought I was. I live in the same world as everyone else. I just saw more of it, as I'm sure you have. They'll find my body tomorrow. You can check it out if you don't believe me. I've seen life after my death, and I'm telling you this because it's the only way to help you and your daughter have a better life of your own. Jean, you're gonna pass out one day smoking a cigarette and burn to death. Your daughter grows up living the same sad life you're living right now. And she misses you so much. Sometimes life can only really begin with the knowledge of death. That it can all end, even when you least want it to. The important thing in life is to believe that while you're alive, it's never too late. I promise you, Jean, no matter how bad things look, they look better awake than they do asleep. When you die, there's only one thing you want to happen. You wanna come back.

Rudy Mackenzie

 * For me... that is a really difficult question Dr. Laurenson, because the world around me is shrinking... and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are comin' to see me today, and they're not bringing flowers which... just makes it real difficult to get organized.

Taglines

 * Terror has a new name.

Hi. I have reverted your changes to Talk:Abortion which consisted in removal of a dialogue you and I engaged in. Please note that this is not acceptable behaviour, in general.

Hi. I wanted to ask you to sign comments in talk pages. The easiest way to sign is to add ~ at the end -- to a username and a timestamp. This makes it much easier to track discussions, and is the common practice here. Thanks.

Also, please note that both the npov and the disputed templates require you to list the specific npov/accuracy issues which you identified on the talk page -- please do so, or I will remove the templates pending such explanation.

Cro

Cro (1993-1994) was an animated TV series that aired on ABC, then reran on Noggin from 1999 to 2002. According to the end credits, it was "based on the original idea from the book, ''The Way Things Work by David Macaulay.

Cro

 * NANDYYYYYY!!!!

 * Ogg, it wasn't Bobb's fault! Let him stay!

 * [to Selene] I've got no mother, no father, nobody wants me...except the Neanderthals and they're not to crazy about me! I don't even have a real pet! Just this log!

Ogg

 * (repeated line)
 * In cases like this, only one thing to
 * say...

 * (two mammoths tell a joke with humans at the butt)
 * That not funny!
 * (throws a pie at the mammoths)
 * Not politically correct, either!

Gogg

 * (Gogg is telling why Bobb is afraid of him being secluded)
 * Gogg: Bobb say something happen when he little boy. Once
 * upon a time, Bobb's old tribe--
 * Nandy: (interrupting) They cute! Look just like Bobb!
 * Gogg: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, lay down for nappies. But
 * when Bobb wake up...

 * Gogg: Bobb...he all alone.

 * Gogg: Bobb think Ogg impose punishment too severe for crime!

7 Faces of Dr. Lao

7 Faces of Dr. Lao is a 1964 film directed by George Pál and written by Charles G. Finney (novel) and Charles Beaumont (screenplay). A mysterious man brings a circus to a small Western town. As the townspeople explore the exhibits, they discover many surprising and often unpleasant things about themselves.

Dr. Lao

 * This is the circus of Dr. Lao. We show you things that you don't know. Oh, we spare no pains and we spare no dough. Oh, we want to give you one hell of a show! And youth may come and age may go, But no more circuses like this show.

 * Tricks? Gadzooks, Madam, these are not tricks! I do magic. I — I create, I transpose, I transubstantiate, I break up, I recombine — but I never trick!

 * The whole world is a circus if you know how to look at it.

 * Every time you pick up a grain of sand you hold a universe in the palm of your hand.

Dialogue

 * Dr. Lao: My specialty is wisdom. Do you know what wisdom is?
 * Mike: No sir.
 * Dr. Lao: Wise answer.

 * Ed Cunningham: Now, come on, Doc! What kind of oriental hocus-pocus is going on around here? A circus with no wagons, no animals, no cages? A crazy old magician? What's it all about?

 * Apollonius: I only read futures, I don't evaluate them.

 * Apollonius: Tomorrow will be like today, and the day after tomorrow will be like the day before yesterday. I see your remaining days as a tedious collection of hours full of useless vanities. You will think no new thoughts. You will forget what little you have known. Older you will become, but not wiser. Stiffer, but not more dignified. Childless you are, and childless you will remain. Of that suppleness you once commanded in your youth, of that strange simplicity which once attracted men to you, neither endures, nor shall you recapture them.
 * Mrs. Cassin: You're a mean, ugly man!
 * Apollonius: Mirrors are often ugly and mean. When you die, you will be buried and forgotten, and that is all. And for all the good or evil, creation or destruction, your living might have accomplished, you might just as well never have lived at all.

 * [Dr. Lao and Mike have an evening heart-to-heart discussion.]
 * Dr. Lao: Mike, let me tell you something. The whole world is a circus if you know how to look at it. The way the sun goes down when you're tired, comes up when you want to be on the move. That's real magic. The way a leaf grows. The song of the birds. The way the desert looks at night, with the moon embracing it. Oh, my boy, that's… that's circus enough for anyone. Every time you watch a rainbow and feel wonder in your heart. Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand. Every time you stop and think, "I'm alive, and being alive is fantastic!" Every time such a thing happens, you're part of the Circus of Dr. Lao.
 * Mike: I don't understand.
 * Dr. Lao: Neither do I! [Jumps over Mike's head, and they begin to dance]

 * Dr. Lao (in snake form...with a face resembling Clint Stark's): I wouldn't care to trade with you.
 * Clint Stark: Maybe not, but the point is, my scaly friend, that you are in a cage, while I'm free to walk about!
 * Dr. Lao: Oh, you have your cage, too. You test your bars just as often as I test mine, kiddo.

 * Ed Cunningham: Hey! How come you speak perfect English all of a sudden?
 * Dr. Lao: [no accent] Oh, it comes and goes. Whatever dialect the mood requires.
 * Ed Cunningham: Oh, it just comes and goes?
 * Dr. Lao: [thick Chinese accent] Whassa matta you? Alla time asking silly questions! Wise guy!

 * Mike: Are you an acrobat?
 * Dr. Lao: [no accent] Only philosophically.
 * Mike: What?
 * Dr. Lao: [high-pitched, thick Chinese accent] Ohn-rheee phi-ro-sophic-areee!

 * [Dr. Lao is fishing in a dried-up riverbed.]
 * Ed Cunningham: I hate to tell you this, Doctor, but there aren't any fish in that river. In fact, there isn't any river.
 * Dr. Lao: That's okay. Me no use bait.

 * Mayor James Sargent: He doesn't want to lose. Who does?
 * Clint Stark: I do. Mayor Sargent, every time I bet on weakness, corruption, fallibility… I want to lose. But I always win.

 * [As the movie closes, a voice-over replays a variation of Dr. Lao's earlier words.]
 * Dr. Lao: Mike, the whole world is a circus if you look at it the right way. Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand, every time you stop and think, "I'm alive, and being alive is fantastic!" Every time such a thing happens, Mike, you are part of the Circus of Dr. Lao.
