Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a 2007 adventure film and third installment in Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean film series based on the Disneyland attraction "Pirates of the Caribbean". This film is released May 25, 2007 in United States.
 * ''Directed by Gore Verbinski. Written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio.

Captain Jack Sparrow

 * Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you tried to kill me in the past. [points to Elizabeth] One of you succeeded.
 * He needs the Pearl. "Captain Turner" needs the Pearl. [to Elizabeth] And you felt guilty. [to Barbossa] And you and your Brethren Court! Did no one come to save me just because they missed me? [Jack The Monkey, Ragetti, Marty, and Pintel raise their hands] I'm staying over there with them.
 * [to Gibbs] Why is the rum always gone??
 * My peanut.
 * Up is down. Well that's just maddeningly unhelpful.
 * [sees Elizabeth has replaced Sao Feng] And he made you captain? They're just giving the bloody title away now!
 * [after Barbossa asks for his plan]] Cuttlefish! Ay? Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish...flippin' glorious little sausages. Pen them up together and they will devour each other without a second thought. Human nature, in'it? Ooor...fish nature. So yes! [Referring to Mistress Ching] We could hold up here, well-provisioned and well-armed, and half of us would be dead within the month! Which seems grim to me any way you slice it! Or! [starts to go to Gentleman Jocard and then walks around him]...ahh...as my learned colleague so naively suggests, we can release Calypso, and we can pray that she will be merciful-I rather doubt it. Can we, in fact, pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned, like which fury Hell hath no? We cannot. Res ipsa loquitur, tabula in naufragio, we are left with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe the words are coming out of me mouth...Captain Swann. We must fight!

Will Turner

 * [to Elizabeth, holding his heart in the Dead Man's Chest] It's always belonged to you. Will you keep it safe?

Captain Hector Barbossa

 * For certain, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was.
 * There's never a guarantee of coming back. But passing on, that's dead certain.
 * Dying is the day worth living for!
 * You know the problem of being the last of anything, is by and by there’ll be none left at all.

Elizabeth Swann

 * You will listen to me! LISTEN! The Brethren will still be looking here to us, to the Black Pearl to lead, and what will they see? Frightened bilgerats aboard a derelict ship? No, no they will see free men and freedom! And what the enemy will see is the flash of our cannons, they will hear the ring of our swords, and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brows and the strength of our backs and the courage of our hearts! Gentlemen...Hoist the colours.

Lord Cutler Beckett

 * The Brethren know they face extinction. All that remains is for them to decide where they make their final stand.
 * Advise your brethren: you can fight, and all of you will die. Or you can not fight, in which case only most of you will die.
 * [last words, in a stunned torpor as his plans fall apart] It's just...good business.

Davy Jones

 * Ten years, I devoted to the duty you charged me. Ten years, I looked after those who died at sea, and finally, when we could be together again, you weren't there. Why weren't you there?
 * You will not forestall my judgment-a!
 * [last words; after Turner stabbed his heart] Calypso...

Dialogue

 * Hector Barbossa: I see my ship. Right there! [pointing to the Black Pearl]
 * Jack Sparrow: Can't spot it. Must be a tiny little thing hiding behind the Pearl!

 * Lord Beckett: A piece of eight; nine of them, you say?
 * Mercer: Yes, sir. Our contact in Singapore was certain about that: Nine pieces of eight.
 * Beckett: What's the significance of that, I wonder?
 * Mercer: Does it matter? There's nothing that can hold against the armada, not with the Flying Dutchman at the lead.
 * Becket: Nothing we know of. Did your contact happen to mention where the Brethren are meeting?
 * Mercer: He was mum on that, sir.
 * Beckett: Then he knows the value of information...Better keep this between ourselves. We don't want anyone running off to Singapore, now do we? [Mercer glances back at Governor Swann]

 * Davy Jones: [sees Dead Man's Chest being loaded onto the Flying Dutchman] Go! All of you! And take that infernal thing with you. I will not have it on my ship!
 * Lord Beckett: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Because I will. Because it seems to be the only way to ensure that this ship do as directed by the company. We need prisoners to interrogate, which tends to work best when they're alive.
 * Davy Jones: The Dutchman sails as it's captain commands.
 * Lord Beckett: And it's captain is to sail it as commanded! I would have thought you'd had learned that when I ordered you to kill your pet. [Davy Jones bows head in shame] This is no longer your world, Jones. The immaterial has become...immaterial.

 * Sao Feng: [venomously] Jack Sparrow… You paid me great insult once.
 * Jack Sparrow: Well, that doesn’t sound like me...
 * [Feng punches Jack on the nose]
 * Jack Sparrow: [sets his nose back] Shall we just call it square then?

 * Hector Barbossa: Trim that sail!
 * Jack Sparrow: Trim that sail!
 * Hector Barbossa: Slack windward brace!
 * Jack Sparrow: Slack windward brace!
 * Hector Barbossa: Haul the pennant line!
 * Jack Sparrow: Haul the pennant line!
 * Hector Barbossa: What are you doin'?
 * Jack Sparrow: What are you doin'?
 * Hector Barbossa: No, what are you doin'?
 * Jack Sparrow: What are you doin'?
 * Hector Barbossa: No! What ARRR-ee you doin'?
 * Jack Sparrow: What are you doin'? Captain gives orders on the ship.
 * Hector Barbossa: The captain of the ship is givin' orders.
 * Jack Sparrow: My ship, makes me captain.
 * Hector Barbossa: They be my charts!
 * Jack Sparrow: Well, that makes you...chart man.
 * Pintel: [yelling fiercely] STOW IT! THE BOTH OF YOU! THAT'S AN ORDER, UNDERSTAND?!?! [everyone. including Jack and Barbossa, stop what they're doing and stare at him] [sheepishly] Sorry. I just thought, with the Captain issue in doubt, I'd throw my name in for consideration, sorry.
 * Ragetti: [to Pintel] I'd vote for you.

 * [Deleted Scene]
 * Lord Beckett: Remarkable. The last I saw of that ship, it was on fire. A blackened hull, sinking beneath the waves. [Jack starts looking in several containers] We had a deal, Jack. I contracted you to deliver cargo on my behalf. You chose to liberate it.
 * Jack Sparrow: [camera focuses on Jack's "P" brand, which marks him as a pirate] People aren't cargo, mate.
 * Lord Beckett: And you incurred a heavy debt to raise her up again, didn't you? [Jack continues to look through containers] It's not here, Jack.
 * Jack: [stops and turns to look at Beckett; Feigning confusion] What? What isn't?
 * Beckett: The heart of Davy Jones. It's safely aboard the Dutchman, and so unavailable for use as leverage to satisfy your debt to the the good captain.
 * Jack: By my reckoning, that account has been settled.
 * Beckett: By your death. And yet, here you are.
 * Jack: Close your eyes, and pretend it's all a bad dream, that's how I get by.
 * Beckett: Your 'good deed' cost me, Jack.
 * Jack: And you have spared me any possibility of ending up as anything other than what I am. For that, I truly thank you.

 * [Jack has a rope tied to a cannon and looped over a yardarm; prepares to fire the cannon]
 * Lord Beckett: You're mad!
 * Jack Sparrow: Well, thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't, this would probably never work.
 * [Jack lights the fuse. Beckett sees the cannon's aimed in his direction and dodges, just as the cannon fires. The recoil of the cannon causes the rope to be pulled, throwing Jack up into the air and onto the Black Pearl. The crew of the Pearl'' go to the stern of the ship to look for Jack, but can't find him. Barbossa then looks at the ornate decorations on the stem and sees Jack calmly standing there.
 * Jack: And that was without a single drop of rum.

 * Barbossa: Still thinking of running, Jack? Think you can outrun the world?...You know, the problem with being the last of anything, by and by, there'll be none left at all.
 * Jack: Sometimes things come back, mate. We're living proof, you and me.
 * Barbossa: Aye, but that's a gamble of long odds, ain't it? There's never a guarantee of coming back. But passing on, that's dead certain.
 * Jack: Summoning the Brethren Court then, is it?
 * Barbossa: It's our only hope, lad.
 * Jack: That's a sad commentary in and of itself.
 * Barbossa: The world used to be a bigger place.
 * Jack Sparrow: The world's still the same. There's just...less in it.

 * Gibbs: Look alive and keep a weather eye, men! It's not for naught it's called Shipwreck Island where lies Shipwreck Cove in the town of Shipwreck.
 * Jack Sparrow: You know, for all that pirates are clever clogs, we are an unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things.
 * Gibbs: [nods] Aye.
 * Jack Sparrow: I once sailed with a geezer lost both his arms and part of his eye.
 * Gibbs: What did you call him?
 * Jack Sparrow: [pauses] Larry.

 * Pintel: Those aren't pieces of eight, they're just pieces of junk!
 * Gibbs: Aye, the original plan was to use nine pieces of eight to bind Calypso, but when the first court met the Brethren were, to a one, skint broke.
 * Pintel: So change the name!
 * Gibbs: To what? "Nine pieces of whatever we happened to have in our pockets at the time?" [sarcastically] Oh yes, that's very piratey!

 * Captain Chevalle: There has not been a king since the First Brethren Court, and that is not likely to change!
 * Captain Teague: Not likely.
 * Elizabeth: Why not?
 * Gibbs: Because the pirate king is elected by popular vote...
 * Barbossa: ...and each pirate only votes for himself.
 * Jack: I call for a vote.
 * [Barbossa rolls his eyes as Captain Teague starts playing the guitar]
 * Captain Ammand: I vote for Ammand, the Corsair!
 * Captain Chevalle: Captain Chevalle, the penniless Frenchman!
 * Sri Sumbhajee's assistant: Sri Sumbhajee votes for Sri Sumbahjee!
 * Mistress Ching: Mistress Ching!
 * Captain Jocard: Gentleman Jocard!
 * Elizabeth: [shrugs] Elizabeth Swann!
 * Barbossa: Barbossa!
 * Captain Villanueva: Villanueva!
 * [Captain Teague stops playing his guitar]
 * Jack: Elizabeth Swann.
 * [Captain Teague continues to play the guitar while everyone stares at Jack Sparrow]
 * Elizabeth: [shocked] What?
 * Jack: I know. Curious, isn't it? [the court begins to yell and argue disagreeing Jack's decision and a few tell him to change his vote for them] Am I to understand that you lot will not be keeping to the code, then?
 * [Captain Teague's guitar string snaps as he looks up at the Court]

 * Elizabeth: Prepare every vessel that floats. At dawn, we're at war.
 * Sri Sumbhajee: [high pitched voice] And so...we shall go to war!
 * [Jack looks at him in surprise as the brethren cheers]

 * Jack: What? You've seen it all, done it all. Survived. That's the trick isn't it? To survive?
 * Captain Teague: It's not just about living forever, Jackie. The trick is living with yourself forever.
 * Jack: [pause] How's mum? [Captain Teague holds up a decayed shrunken head] [revolted] ...She looks great.

 * Will Turner: [during the final battle] Will you marry me?
 * Elizabeth Swann: I don't think now's the best time!
 * Will Turner: Now may be the only time! I love you. I've made my choice. What's yours?
 * Elizabeth Swann: Barbossa! [Will baffled because of her 'choice'] [to Barbossa] Marry us!
 * [Will looks at Barbossa relieved, narrowing his eyes because of the rain]
 * Barbossa:[while fending off multiple opponents] I'm a little busy at the moment!
 * Will Turner:[fighting opponents himself] Barbossa, NOW!
 * Barbossa:[after impaling three opponents] Fine then! [the three keep fighting whilst Barbossa stands up on the helm, kicking a soldier in the face as he does so and Will and Elizabeth embrace] Dearly beloved, we be gathered here today... [distracted whilst fighting] to nail yer gizzards to the mast, yer poxy cur! [whilst Will and Elizabeth look up at him confused]

About

 * The physics of a whirlpool this size overwhelmed the team at ILM [Industrial Light and Magic, the effects company]. The path we were heading down was not achieving the desired results so it all had to be reworked. The initial rendered backgrounds were used as out of focus plates for close-ups which bought us time by getting 100 or so shots in the pipeline and allowed us to completely rethink and re-render the maelstrom for all of the wide shots. This is the exact opposite of how you would normally go about producing this sequence. John Knoll and the team at ILM ultimately pulled it off, but it was a real nail-biter.
 * I have always been fascinated by the work of [Japanese animation director Hayao] Miyazaki. When we needed to get the Black Pearl back to the ocean, I thought, why are we limited to the rules of live-action filmmaking? Once those shackles are off, it is quite liberating. All sorts of ideas start to germinate. The crab is Tia Dalma's motif. Why not do something surreal and connected to her? Giving his escape a subtextual intention.

Kick Some Ice (taglines)

Dialogue

 * Jimmy: So, Coach. I was thinking about the music for our routine.
 * Coach: Really?
 * Chazz: We're gonna skate to one song, and one song only: "Lady Hump" by the Black Eyed Peas. What you gonna do with all that junk? / All that junk inside your trunk? / I'm gonna get you, get you drunk / Get you drunk off my lady humps / My humps, my humps / My lovely lady humps.
 * Jimmy: [disgusted] I don't even know what that means.
 * Chazz: No one knows what it means, but it's provocative.
 * Jimmy: No, it's not. It's gross.
 * Chazz: It gets the people going.

 * Chazz: Bunk beds?
 * Jimmy: I don't share rooms.
 * Chazz: I don't share shit. The night is a very dark time for me.
 * Jimmy: It's dark for everyone, moron.
 * Chazz: Not for Alaskans or dudes wearing night-vision goggles.
 * Coach: All right, this has got to stop right now. From here on out, you guys are a team. You understand? You are going to eat together, sleep together. You are going to pee together. You're going to file a joint income tax return. Practice starts now. End of discussion.

 * Chazz: Mind-bottling, isn't it?
 * Jimmy: Did you just say "mind-bottling"?
 * Chazz: Yeah. You know when things are so crazy, you get your thoughts trapped, like in a bottle.

 * Chazz: Why would we step in baby food?
 * Jimmy: He's talking about the carpet. Berber?
 * Chazz: What are you? The rug doctor?
 * Jimmy: Maybe I am.
 * Chazz: I'm the rug master.
 * Jimmy: What does that even mean?
 * Coach: Shut up and take off your damn shoes.

 * Jimmy: Get out of my face!
 * Chazz: I'll get inside your face!

 * Jimmy: Ugh, I'm getting sick. You smell like aftershave and taco meat.
 * Chazz: Yes, I do. Now scoot over.

 * Fairchild Van Waldenberg: What's that, mother? You and father are sad that you were killed, driving Katie to her ice-skating lesson all those years ago? Yeah, me too.
 * Stranz Van Waldenberg: Remember how they used to be alive?

 * Darren MacElroy: I'm un-adopting you.
 * Jimmy: What?
 * Darren MacElroy: I don't think "un-adopting" is the right word for it. Well, legally I'm disowning you.

 * Jimmy: That was disgusting.
 * Chazz: That, young man, is how babies are made.

 * Jimmy: Michaels.
 * Chazz: MacElroy.
 * Jimmy: I see you got fat.
 * Chazz: I see you still look like a 15-year-old girl but not hot.
 * Jimmy: You crushed my dreams.
 * Chazz: Dreams? Shit. I haven't had one of those in years.
 * Jimmy: Zip it, Chazz! Zip it or I will punch you in your crap, lousy face!
 * Chazz: Hey, This ends tonight!
 * Jimmy: It's daytime, you douche!

 * Jimmy: I call top!
 * Chazz: No, I already called it in my head.
 * Jimmy: What?! No, you can't do that, that doesn't count.
 * Chazz: Yes it does. Get used to it, Jimmy; you're in Chazz's world now.

 * [Chazz shows Jimmy the tattoo of him he got on his arm.]
 * Chazz: That's you. The wolf, that runs with the lone wolf. So the lone wolf never has to be alone again.
 * Jimmy: You were drunk when you got it, weren't you?
 * Chazz: Yes, absolutely hammered. Welcome to the pack.

 * Grublets on Ice Manager: Hey, Michaels, let's go. Lace up. The fog machines are primed. Second show's almost three-quarters full. you drunk?
 * Chazz: No. [Breaks the top off of the bottle of liquor he's holding] But this oughta do it.
 * Grublets on Ice Manager: I would fire you if you weren't so goddamn beautiful out there. You smell like urine.
 * Chazz: A lot?
 * Grublets on Ice Manager: Get your head on.

 * Jimmy: This ice has not been properly zambonied. And where's the warm-down room?
 * Coach: We don't have any of that. What we got is a cold storage unit that a buddy of mine let me flood with a garden hose.

 * Chazz: This guy could not hold my jock sweat.
 * Jimmy: I could hold it all day long. Try me!
 * Chazz: Maybe I will.
 * Jimmy: Maybe you should.
 * Chazz: You challenging me, princess?
 * Jimmy: I'm not inviting you to the Skating Federation's Annual Christmas Party!
 * Chazz: Then bring it on!
 * Jimmy: It is on!
 * Coach: Good. We're in an agreement, then.

 * Chazz: You know what, dude. Your hand has to be on top.
 * Jimmy: No way. The girl's goes on top.
 * Chazz: Yeah, ergo. Chick.
 * Jimmy: I'm not the girl, I'm stronger.
 * Chazz: No, I'm stronger and don't have a vagina.
 * Jimmy: You are not stronger. Watch this, fat ass.
 * Chazz: Fat ass?

 * Chazz: I can't do the Lotus with a shattered ankle. I'm just a man for God's sake.
 * Jimmy: We'll switch places.
 * Chazz: I swear to God, if you cut my head off...

 [Jimmy walks in on Chazz and Katie getting intimate]
 * Jimmy: Y-y-y-you sex demon! You sex fiend!
 * Chazz: This isn't what it looks like.

[Chazz grabs Katie's breast]
 * Jimmy: Impure! Impure!

[Jimmy Runs out of the room]
 * Katie Van Waldenberg: Jimmy, wait!
 * Chazz: Brother man!

 * Coach: Jimmy, you put your clothes on! Jimmy! Damn it!
 * Jimmy: Watch my icy, hot superslide.
 * Chazz: Do it.
 * Jimmy: I will.
 * Chazz: It's not going to matter because you're flat in front like Ken!

 * Hector: I almost gave up on you Jimmy. I started working on that Ukrainian skater, you know the one that looks like Elvis. So i moved to the Ukraine and it was cold, and everybody had guns, and it smelled like soup.

 * Darren MacElroy: You're fired.
 * Coach: What?! I brought you the gold medal.
 * Darren MacElroy: No, you brought me half a gold medal. If I wanted him to share I would have bought him a brother.

 * Skate Woodland Fairies: Oh, no! It's the evil wizard!
 * Chazz: [drunkenly] Hey, little forest creatures. None of you sons-of-bitches try to be heroes. You hear me?
 * Gary the Squirrel: Hey, Chazz. Come on.
 * Chazz: Wow!
 * Gary the Squirrel: It's Gary. What are you doing?
 * Chazz: Hey, everyone! This is Gary, the squirrel. Now listen up. Gary's been a long-time friend. We've been skating for two and a half years. I remember when we were hanging out at the bus stop in Tucson, and Gary said, "I've got a third ball"-- [retches inside his costume] Damn it. I just threw up in here, people. That's the reality. Another layer to the legend. I am nothing but a human onion. In fact, we all are-- "[gags, begining to vomit] Oh, encore. [He retches again]'''
 * Grublets on Ice Manager: Ladies and gentlemen, Grublets on Ice will be cancelled until further notice. No refunds will be given.
 * Chazz: Oh Bring it on! Let it rain down on me.

Kazuo Ishiguro

Kazuo Ishiguro (born November 8, 1954) is a British novelist of Japanese descent. In 2017, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Quotes

 * More fundamentally, I'm interested in memory because it's a filter through which we see our lives, and because it's foggy and obscure, the opportunities for self-deception are there. In the end, as a writer, I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened.
 * Dunn, Adam. "In the land of memory: Kazuo Ishiguro remembers when" cnn.com Book News. 27 Oct. 2000 (archived from the original on 2001-06-25).

 * I have a sense of having just left without saying goodbye, and of this whole other world just kind of fading away. … I have the feeling of this completely alternative person I should have become. There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one.
 * On growing up in England, having left Japan at age 5. Conversation with, The Writer, volume 114, number 5, May 2001, collected in Conversations with Kazuo Ishiguro, p. 189

 * If you go to Tokyo, I think it becomes very obvious that there's this almost seamless mixture of popular culture and Japanese traditional culture.
 * SPIEGEL Interview with Kazuo Ishiguro: "I Remain Fascinated by Memory", Der Spiegel, 5 October 2005.

 * I don't really like to work with literary allusions very much. I never want to be in a position where I'm saying, "You've got to read a lot of other stuff" or "You've got to have had a good education in literature to fully appreciate what I'm doing." ... I actually dislike, more than many people, working through literary allusion. I just feel that there's something a bit snobbish or elitist about that. I don't like it as a reader, when I'm reading something. It's not just the elitism of it; it jolts me out of the mode in which I'm reading. I've immersed myself in the world and then when the light goes on I'm supposed to be making some kind of literary comparison to another text. I find I'm pulled out of my kind of fictional world, I'm asked to use my brain in a different kind of way. I don't like that.
 * Rukeyser, Rebecca. "Kazuo Ishiguro: Mythic Retreat" guernicamag.com interview. 1 May 2015.

The Remains of the Day (1989)

 * It is now some twenty minutes since the man left, but I have remained here on this bench to await the event that has just taken place – namely, the switching on of the pier lights. As I say, the happiness with which the pleasure-seekers gathering on this pier greeted this small event would tend to vouch for the correctness of my companion’s words; for a great many people, the evening is the most enjoyable part of the day. Perhaps, then, there is something to his advice that I should cease looking back so much, that I should adopt a more positive outlook and try to make the best of what remains of my day. After all, what can we ever gain in forever looking back and blaming ourselves if our lives have not turned out quite as we might have wished? The hard reality is, surely, that for the likes of you and I, there is little choice other than to leave our fate, ultimately, in the hands of those great gentlemen at the hub of this world who employ our services. What is the point in worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one’s life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that is in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment.
 * p. 244

 * Perhaps it is indeed time I began to look at this whole matter of bantering more enthusiastically. After all, when one thinks about it, it is not such a foolish thing to indulge in – particularly if it is the case that in bantering lies the key to human warmth.
 * p. 245

 * This is all strictly against regulations, of course, and Marie-Claude should never have asked you in. And naturally, I should have turned you out the second I knew you were here. But Marie-Claude doesn't care much for their regulations these days, and I must say, neither do I.
 * p. 259

Chapter 23

 * Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don't go along with that. The memories I value most, I don't see them ever fading.
 * p. 280

 * I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us. It's a shame, Kath, because we've loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can't stay together forever.
 * p. 282

Quotes about Ishiguro

 * There is a new novel coming out by a British man-Kazuo Ishiguro. He is so good. He's about 35 years old; this is his third book. The command of language-his language is so superior. The moment that you start reading his book you enter the land of story, because of the way the words are put together. God, that man is so good!
 * 1989 interview in Conversations with Maxine Hong Kingston (1998)

 * [Kazuo Ishiguro], in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world.
 * Nobel Prize Committee (2017)

Chad Vader

Chad Vader is a Star Wars fan film series that has gained popularity on the internet. The first two episodes orginally aired on Channel 101, and though the series was subsequently cancelled the producers decided to continue filming and broadcasted via YouTube instead.

Day Shift Manager

 * [Chad walks over to Store Clerk who is stocking items]
 * Chad: What is the meaning of this?
 * Tony: [not even shaken] The meaning of what?
 * Chad: I ordered this task to be completed an hour ago!
 * Tony: Yeah, you did.
 * Chad: You have failed me for the last time!
 * Tony: That's what you said the last time.
 * Chad: I have been too forgiving in the past. Do not fail me again!
 * Tony: Because that will be the last time.
 * Chad: Yes...no....I don't know....continue stocking! [walks away]

 * Chad: May I speak with you a moment, my Master?
 * Randy: It's just Randy, okay, Chad?
 * Chad: Yes, my Master. (Chad kneels.)
 * Randy: And don't kneel! It's...weird.
 * Chad: I have grave news.
 * (Flashback)
 * Chad: Tammy, I need you to work an extra shift on Saturday.
 * Tammy: No. (Tammy walks away.)
 * (End flashback)
 * Chad:...and then she walked away!
 * Randy: Okay. So?
 * Chad: Our plans to make this station fully operational on Saturday may be jeopardised!
 * Randy: Look, uh, just get someone to take her shift, okay, Chad?
 * Chad: As you wish, Emperor.
 * Randy: It's Randy! RANDY!  I'm not an Emperor!

The Date

 * Chad: I sense potential in you, young one.
 * Jeremy: Yeah!!!
 * Chad: I shall take you on as my apprentice, Jeremy. Together we shall decimate the competition and conquer the food retailing industry!
 * Jeremy: That would be awesome!
 * Chad: (swinging his lightsaber) Yes, it SHALL be awesome! (Chad's lightsaber smashes through a display case.) Oh, um...clean that up, Jeremy. (Chad walks away.)

 * Clarissa: So, I've always wondered, what's up with the suit and the helmet?
 * Chad: I--I was in a biking accident.
 * Clarissa: You ride a motorcycle?
 * Chad: No, a bicycle. I lost control on a road and I went over an embankment, down a hill, into a volcano.
 * Clarissa: Oh my gosh!
 * Chad: But my brother--I have a famous brother--he sent me this suit. I can never remove it or I will die.

Dog in the Store

 * Hal: Excuse me, where are your live chickens?
 * Chad: We do not carry that item.
 * Hal: I found some frozen ones, but they won't work for my voodoo ritual.
 * Chad: We do NOT carry that item.
 * Hal: But where are they?
 * Chad: I told you already! We do NOT have live chickens. Does this look like a chicken coop? Do not ask me where they are because they are NOT here!

 * Weird Jimmy: She dumped you...didn't she?  [referring to Clarissa]
 * Chad: How did you-
 * Weird Jimmy: You and I have a lot in common, Chad. I used to be the Day Shift Manager here,  at Empire Market.  Then they made me the Night Shift Manager...just like you.  Soon after, I developed som mi-minor problems.  [snickers]  Now...my life is over.
 * Chad: Well, I must go back inside now.
 * Weird Jimmy: Chad...it doesn't have to be like this. You always have a choice.....UNLESS YOU'RE ME!! [laughs like a mad-man]

 * Chad: Return the day shift to me, Randy. You do not realize the power I possess! Together we can rule Empire Market as General Manager and Day Manager!
 * Randy: Come on, Chad. You've had a rough first night. Let's go into my office--
 * Chad: You will join me or die!
 * Randy: Do you really mean that, Chad?
 * Chad: No. Please give me my day shift back.

Drunk

 * Bartender: That job meant a lot to you, huh?
 * Chad: Yes, she did.
 * Bartender: She?
 * Chad: Clarissa. My supposed former girlfriend is out on a date with my arch-enemy Clint.
 * Bartender: But you know, they're sitting right over there.
 * Chad: Yes, I know...

 * Clarissa: I saw you following us.
 * Chad: No, you didn't. Stop lying.
 * Clarissa: Chad--
 * Chad: How does it feel to be such a liar?
 * Clarissa: Why don't you do something with your life and stop being so lame?
 * Chad: I can't help it, Clarissa. I'm lame! LAME!

New Job

 * Chad: You think you have won this round, eh? Wait until I send a service droid to your house to destroy your communication--
 * Telemarketing Boss: Hey, Chad?
 * Chad: Hmm?
 * Telemarketing Boss: It's not working out.
 * Chad: Fine. If you want to fire me after one phone call, fine. I don't care....

 * [Chad was just fired from his second job]
 * Ghost: Chad, chad! I's me, the ghost, remember?
 * Chad: What do you want?
 * Ghost: Why are you here? Don't you know that the store is where you belong?
 * Chad: I am NEVER going back to that place! [to people talking see Chad in a fury with the Ghost, but don't see who he is talking with] EVER!  [Chad runs away screaming]
 * [crash offscreen]
 * Ghost: He's all right! My- my fault.
 * Chad: [offscreen] My knee!

 * Restaurant Boss: (In Spanish) Hey, Chad.
 * Chad: (In Spanish) Yes?
 * Restaurant Boss: (In Spanish) It's not working out.
 * Chad: (In Spanish) What a surprise!

 * [in a reference to the opening scene of episode 1]
 * Thursday; Chad is wiping down the Mayor's desk]
 * Mayor: What is the meaning of this?
 * Chad: [startled] The uh, meaning of what, Mr. Mayor?
 * Mayor: I ordered this task completed an hour ago!
 * Chad: Oh, I umm....you did?
 * Mayor: [darkly] You have failed me for the last time.
 * Chad: Uhhhhhhhh...I don't get it.
 * Mayor: [normal] Chad, it's not working out.
 * Chad: [sighs] FIRED AGAIN!

Trapped in the Trash

 * Ben (Ghost): I have some information for you.
 * Chad: Really? What?
 * Ben (Ghost): Clint hates you.
 * Chad: ''(sarcasm) Oh, I had NO idea!

 * Jeremy: The power switch! Too weak...!
 * Weird Jimmy: What, this? Oh, I don't know, I have to consult with Mop! (Holds a silent conversation with his mop) Nope, sorry! Can't do it!
 * Jeremy: No!
 * Weird Jimmy: Just JOKING!

 * [the power goes out]
 * Clint: What, you think I'm afraid of the friggin' dark?
 * Chad: You will be. [draws lightsaber] You WILL be...
 * Clint: Let's end this.

Chad Fights Back

 * Chad: Turn and face me.
 * Clint: [annoyed] What now?
 * [Chad uses the force to throw a lemon at Clint]
 * Clint: A lemon? That's all you got?
 * Chad: It's all I need....

 * [after Chad gets his job back]
 * Randy: Now, Chad you're going to need to make some changes in your attitude.
 * Chad: WHAT?! Uh...I mean...Yes, my master.  [bows]

The Takeover

 * Randy: Hello everyone, uhh, welcome to Empire Market.
 * Champion J. Pepper: Hello. I'm Champion J. Pepper.
 *  Randy: Yes, I know. We've known each other for years, Mr. Pepper.
 * Pepper: I know that. I just like to introduce myself every time I enter a room.  It's a new thing I'm trying out.
 * Randy: I...see.

Laser Trouble

 * [a mouse droid appears]
 * Chad: Ahh, that cute little guy. By the end of the month, I hope to construct a fleet of these cleaning droids.  It will increase our maintenance efficiency by 18%.
 * [Hal walks over to the mouse droid]
 * Hal: Excuse me, do you have diapers...for fresh babies?
 * Mouse Droid: [begins to spark] EXTERMINATE-IMPURITY!!
 * [Hal runs away in fear]
 * Chad: Uhh...still working the bugs out...
 * Mouse Droid: EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!

 * Chad: ...and this is...Weird Jimmy.
 * Margret: Well look at you!
 * Weird Jimmy: I'd prefer you didn't.
 * Margret: What does Weird Jimmy do?
 * Chad: He...uhh...excellent question.
 * Weird Jimmy: What I do before noon, would make a grown man cry and skip his breakfast. I swoop down in the night, with claws and a beak, like the shadow of a scary dream bird!  When you wake up, all sweaty and nervous, you better pray to whatever god you believe in that you NEVER know the darkness that I have seen!
 * [pause]
 * Margret: So you're the janitor?
 * Weird Jimmy: [normal tone] Pretty much, yeah.
 * Chad & Margret: Let's move on.

Into the Basement

 * Chad: Is this man bothering you, Libby? [referring to Lloyd]
 * Libby: Not really.
 * Chad: Hey Lloyd, let me see that cookie for a second.
 * Lloyd: [gives the cookie to Chad] Sure thing, Chad.
 * [Chad throws the cookie at Jeremey's helmet causing Lloyd to go get it, Chad takes Lloyd's seat]
 * Chad: He was bothering me! [laughs] That's a good one.  Do you like jokes?  I have more.
 * Libby: [shaking her head] No, I don't really like jokes or conversation.  I prefer to sit in silence and pray.
 * Chad: Umm....yeah.
 * Libby: It was a joke, Chad.
 * Chad: Oh! [forced laughter]

The Basement Strikes Back

 * Jeremey: [recalibrating the boiler] I think it's done! I think I finally did something right!
 * Weird Jimmy: That's what the last guy said. Right before everything went GLOOM!!!  [laughs]

 * Weird Jimmy: Hey, guys. What would you do if I told you there were three killer robots waiting for us outside this door?
 * Chad: [giving normal response] Oh, I would hide and probably cry. You?
 * Jeremy: I would fight and smash!
 * Weird Jimmy: Well you're gonna need to do that.

The New Employee

 * Chad: Robbie, how are you?
 * Robbie Johnson: Happier than I've ever been in my entire life! I'm back where I belong.  Forever!
 * Margret: I want you to personally supervise Robbie's training, Chad. He's your...apprentice if you will.
 * Chad: What about Commander Wigstrom? He's my-
 * Margret: You are to stop wasting time with Jeremey and focus on Robbie, is that clear?
 * Chad: As you wish.
 * Margret: Is. That.  Clear?
 * Chad: Yeah. As you wish mean o-
 * Margret: Good. Dismissed.  [Chad and Robbie leave]  Everything is happening exactly according to plan!  [evil laugh]

First Kiss

 * Robbie Johnson: All this food looks so foreign and exotic. I think I'll have the....pasta.
 * Chad: I'm going to start this special meal off with a delicious chocolatini.
 * Libby: I'm sorry Chad, Maggy said we couldn't order any alcohol.
 * Chad: Of course. How silly of me.  I'm going to start this special meal off with some delicious....water.

Goodbye, Chad

 * Chad: Clarissa. Looking lovely as ever!
 * Clarissa: When are we gonna go on that second date?
 * Chad: No-can-do. I'm seeing someone!  Heh heh.  Adios, muchacha!

 * Chad: [after reading Libby's farewell letter] Gone. Libby!  NOOOOOOO- a marshmallow hits him in the face]  Huh?
 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: Chad Vader!
 * Chad: Who the hell are you?
 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: It is I, Marshmallow Bandit-o.
 * Chad: [not even shaken] Uhh-huh.
 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: You would do well to cower before my might! I am your arch-nemesis.
 * Chad: You picked the wrong day to mess with me, nerd. [the Marshmallow Bandit-o spits a marshmallow at Chad]  Don't make me destr- [the marhmallow hits him in the face] Eww.
 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: [laughs]

Bandito Beatdown

 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: You may wonder, the details of my descent into villainy.
 * Chad: [immediately] Nope.

 * [Chad is chasing the Marshmallow Bandito with his lightsaber]
 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: Today, I flee my enemy! But soon, I'll-
 * [Chad uses the force to throw a package of paper towels at the Marshmallow Bandito]
 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: OW! I am defeated!  I just want a ride home [Chad throws more stuff]  Ahh!

 * Chad: You like marshmallow's huh? Well here's some marshmallows.  Here's all you can eat!
 * Marshmallow Bandit-o: I don't even like marshm- [Chad stuffs a marshmallow into the Marshmallow Bandito's mouth]
 * Chad: Eat! Eat!  [stuff more into his mouth; and laughs evilly with pleasure]  Yeah!  They're free this time!  [laughs even more and is stuffing marshmallows into the Marshmallow Bandito's face; his laughter slowly turns to crying]  LIBBY!!

 * Jeremy: ....they went out. And they didn't even invite me.  I just feel so betrayed!
 * Weird Jimmy: So you ratted him out. YOU TRAITOROUS SWINE!!

Showdown

 * Jeremey: Becoming general manager? That would fulfill Grandpa Wigstrom's dying wish!
 * [flashback]
 * Grandpa Wigstrom's Voice: My boy! I want you to manage something, like a store!  That is my wish for you.
 * Jeremey's Voice: Your dying wish, grandpa?
 * Grandpa Wigstrom's Voice: I'm not dying! Who said I w- GAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
 * Jeremey's Voice: Ah! I didn't do it!

 * Lloyd: Hey! Chad have you met the new employee yet?
 * Chad: Nope. Is he cool?
 * Sean Banditson: CHAD VADER! The Marshmallow Bandito returns!
 * [Chad grunts in annoyance]
 * Sean: Although, now you can refer to me as Sean Banditson...my real name.
 * Chad: Wait! You're not the new-- Oh no!
 * Sean: Rent was due, and the white make-up made me get a rash. So now I am here to make minimum wage, and make your life a maximum hell!  [laughs evilly]

Somebody Dies

 * Chad Vader: [during the lightsaber duel] You have learned much.
 * Jeremy: You'll find I'm full of surprises!

 * Weird Jimmy: [sees a customer during Chad and Jeremy's lightsaber duel] Hey guys!  Customer.
 * [Chad and Jeremy hide their lightsabers behind their backs]
 * Customer: [looking oddly at the two] Uhh...can you tell me where the baking soda is?
 * Chad and Jeremy: Aisle six.
 * [brief pause of staring as the lightsabers hum]
 * Chad: Yep. [Jeremy nods]
 * Customer: Thank you....[leaves]
 * Chad: See you later.

 * Chad Vader: Took my job. Took my meeting. Took my life. [weird Jimmy hurries to see Jeremy in trouble]
 * Jeremy: Jimmy, help!
 * Weird Jimmy: No way. I'm staying out of this.

 * Jeremy: [freaked out of what he did to Weird Jimmy by accidentally killing him] Wh-what happened?!
 * Chad: You killed Weird Jimmy.
 * Jeremy: WELL THAT'S NOT GOOD!!

 * Jeremy: I can't believe everything worked out! And I didn't even get in trouble for killing someone!
 * [Weird Jimmy's ghost appears in front of Jeremy; who is surprised]
 * Weird Jimmy (Ghost): Hello....MURDERER!!!! [Jeremy shrieks and runs away, leaving Jimmy alone and causing to laugh crazily]

Surveillance Assailant

 * [during a lightsaber training battle with Chad]
 * Jeremy: I really feel like I'm getting to the point, where I'm gonna be- [Chad slaps him] Ow!  Why did you do that?!
 * Chad: Didn't expect that did you?
 * Jeremy: NO!
 * Chad: That is today's lesson. Always expect the unexpected, especially in battle.
 * Jeremy: Okay, I'll expect....the unexpected....even if I- [Chad slaps him again] Ow! You did it again!
 * Chad: See? You're not expecting the unexpected enough.

 * [Jeremy is sneaking around trying to expect the unexpected]
 * Jeremy: ....the unexpected.......the unexpected.....
 * [Weird Jimmy's ghost suddenly appears]
 * Weird Jimmy (Ghost): YOU KILLED ME!

 * Weird Jimmy: I love being dead.

 * Margret: Who will be our first manager-for-a-day Chad? I don't have all year.
 * Chad: My first choice if Jeremy.
 * Margret: No way! He had his chance and he screwed the pooch.
 * Chad: Well I don't know who to pick! The rest of these clowns are barely qualified to scrub out the toilets!
 * Margret: Not my problem...yours. You know Chad, I know I make fun of you a lot, mailny because you're dumb and I don't like you, but I''m really trying to turn a corner on that.  I want us to be......friends.
 * Chad: I don't want that.
 * Margret: Well too bad, you don't have a choice. [threatening] I want you to make a decision by three 'o clock or else...[smiles] buddy.

Rockets and Chaos

 * [Jeremy is carrying a lot of plastic bottles full of soda]
 * Weird Jimmy: [Weird Jimmy's ghost appears out of no where] Don't drop them!!
 * Jeremy: AHH! [drops all the bottles] Weird Jimmy's ghost again?! [moves to run but slips on the bottles and falls to the ground]

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 Ygugsa295. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ygugsa295~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Fear and Trembling

Fear and Trembling (original Danish title: Frygt og Bæven) is a philosophical work by Søren Kierkegaard, published in 1843 under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio, meaning roughly "John the Silent" in English.

Preface

 * Not merely in the realm of commerce but in the world of ideas as well our age is organizing a regular clearance sale. Everything is to be had at such a bargain that it is questionable whether in the end there is anybody who will want to bid. Every speculative price-fixer who conscientiously directs attention to the significant march of modern philosophy, every Privatdocent, tutor, and student, every crofter and cottar goes further. Perhaps it would be untimely and ill-timed to ask them where they are going.

 * The present writer is nothing of a philosopher, he has not understood the System, does not know whether it actually exists, whether it is completed ; already he has enough for his weak head in the thought of what a prodigious head everybody in our day must have, since everybody has such a prodigious thought. Even though one were capable of converting the whole content of faith into the form of a concept, it does not follow that one has adequately conceived faith and understands how one got into it, or how it got into one. The present writer is nothing of a philosopher ; he is, poetice et eleganter, an amateur writer who neither writes the System nor promises of the System, who neither subscribes to the System nor ascribes anything to it. He writes because for him it is a luxury which becomes the more agreeable and more evident, the fewer there are who buy and read what he writes. He can easily foresee his fate in an age when passion has been obliterated in favor of learning, in an age when an author who wants to have readers must take care to write in such a way that the book can easily be perused during the afternoon nap, and take care to fashion his outward deportment in likeness to the picture of that polite young gardener in the advertisement sheet, who with hat in hand, and with a good certificate from the place where he last served, recommends himself to the esteemed public. He foresees his fate – that he will be entirely ignored. He has a presentiment of the dreadful event, that a jealous criticism will many a time let him feel the birch ; he trembles at the still more dreadful thought that one or another enterprising scribe, a gulper of paragraphs, who to rescue learning is always willing to do with other peoples’ writings what Trop magnanimously resolved to do with a book called The Destruction of the Human Race – that is, he will slice the author into paragraphs, and will do it with the same inflexibility as the man who in the interest of the science of punctuation divided his discourse by counting the words, so that there were fifty words for a period and thirty-five for a semicolon.

Prelude

 * Once upon a time there was a man who as a child had heard the beautiful story about how God tempted Abraham, and how he endured temptation, kept the faith, and a second time received again a son contrary to expectation. When the child became older he read the same story with even greater admiration, for life had separated what was united in the pious simplicity of the child. The older he became, the more frequently his mind reverted to that story, his enthusiasm became greater and greater, and yet he was less and less able to understand the story. At last in his interest for that he forgot everything else ; his soul had only one wish, to see Abraham, one longing, to have been witness to that event. His desire was not to behold the beautiful countries of the Orient, or the earthly glory of the Promised Land, or that godfearing couple whose old age God had blessed, or the venerable figure of the aged patriarch, or the vigorous young manhood of Isaac whom God had bestowed upon Abraham – he saw no reason why the same thing might not have taken place on a barren heath in Denmark. His yearning was to accompany them on the three days’ journey when Abraham rode with sorrow before him and with Isaac by his side. His only wish was to be present at the time when Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw Mount Moriah afar off, at the time when he left the asses behind and went alone with Isaac up unto the mountain ; for what his mind was intent upon was not the ingenious web of imagination but the shudder of thought.

 * "O Lord in heaven, I thank Thee. After all it is better for him to believe that I am a monster, rather than that he should lose faith in Thee."
 * Section One, Prelude

 * When the child must be weaned, the mother blackens her breast, it would indeed be a shame that the breast should look delicious when the child must not have it. So the child believes that the breast has changed, but the mother is the same, her glance is as loving and tender as ever. Happy the person who had no need of more dreadful expedients for weaning the child !
 * Section One, Prelude

'''
 * '''When the child has grown big and must be weaned, the mother virginally hides her breast, so the child has no more a mother. Happy the child which did not in another way lose its mother.

 * Section Two, Prelude

 * It was a quiet evening when Abraham rode out alone, and he rode to Mount Moriah ; he threw himself upon his face, he prayed God to forgive him his sin, that he had been willing to offer Isaac, that the father had forgotten his duty toward the son. Often he rode his lonely way, but he found no rest. He could not comprehend that it was a sin to be willing to offer to God the best thing he possessed, that for which he would many times have given his life ; and if it was a sin, if he had not loved Isaac as he did, then he could not understand that it might be forgiven. For what sin could be more dreadful?

 * Section Three, Prelude

 * When the child must be weaned, the mother too is not without sorrow at the thought that she and the child are separated more and more, that the child which first lay under her heart and later reposed upon her breast will be so near to her no more. So they mourn together for the brief period of mourning. Happy the person who has kept the child as near and needed not to sorrow any more!
 * Section Three, Prelude

 * When the child must be weaned, the mother has stronger food in readiness, lest the child should perish. Happy the person who has stronger food in readiness !
 * Section 4, Prelude

A Panegyric Upon Abraham

 * If a human being did not have an eternal consciousness, if underlying everything there were only a wild, fermenting power that writhing in dark passions produced everything, be it significant or insignificant, if a vast, never appeased emptiness is beneath everything, what would life be then but despair?
 * p. 15

 * It is human to lament, human to weep with them that weep, but it is greater to believe, more blessed to contemplate the believer.

 * No, not one shall be forgotten who was great in the world. But each was great in his own way, and each in proportion to the greatness of that which he loved. For he who loved himself became great by himself, and he who loved other men became great by his selfless devotion, but he who loved God became greater than all. Everyone shall be remembered, but each became great in proportion to his expectation. One became great by expecting the possible, another by expecting the eternal, but he who expected the impossible became greater than all. Everyone shall be remembered, but each was great in proportion to the greatness of that with which he strove. For he who strove with the world became great by overcoming the world, and he who strove with himself became great by overcoming himself, but he who strove with God became greater than all. So there was strife in the world, man against man, one against a thousand, but he who strove with God was greater than all. So there was strife upon earth : there was one who overcame all by his power, and there was one who overcame God by his impotence. There was one who relied upon himself and gained all, there was one who secure in his strength sacrificed all, but he who believed God was greater than all. There was one who was great by reason of his power, and one who was great by reason of his wisdom, and one who was great by reason of his hope, and one who was great by reason of his love ; but Abraham was greater than all, great by reason of his power whose strength is impotence, great by reason of his wisdom whose secret is foolishness, great by reason of his hope whose form is madness, great by reason of the love which is hatred of oneself.
 * p. 31 (Princeton University Press, 1973)

 * It is human to lament, human to weep with them that weep, but it is greater to believe, more blessed to contemplate the believer.

 * But Abraham believed, therefore he was young; for he who always hopes for the best becomes old, and he who is always prepared for the worst grows early, but he who believes preserves an eternal youth.
 * p.33 (Princeton University 1973 edition)

Problemata:Preliminary Expectoration

 * From the external and visible world comes the old adage: “Only one who works gets bread.” Oddly enough, the adage does not fit the world in which it is most at home, for imperfection is the fundamental law of the external world, and here it happens again and again that he who does not work does get bread, and he who sleeps gets more abundantly than he who works. In the external world, everything belongs to the possessor.
 * p. 27

 * Yes, if Abraham the instant he swung his leg over the ass's back had said to himself, "Now, since Isaac is lost, I might just as well sacrifice him here at home, rather than ride the long way to Moriah" - then I should have no need of Abraham, whereas now I bow seven times before his name and seventy times before his deed. For this indeed he did not do, as I can prove by the fact that he was glad at receiving Isaac, heartily glad, that he needed no preparation, no time to concentrate upon the finite and its joy. If this had not been the case with Abraham, then perhaps he might have loved God but not believed; for he who loves God without faith reflects upon himself, he who loves God believingly reflects upon God.
 * pp28
 * An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.
 * pp.39, Princeton University Press 1973 Edition

 * How is one to explain the contradiction illustrated by that orator? Is it because Abraham had a prescriptive right to be a great man, so that what he did is great, and when another does the same it is sin, a heinous sin? In that case I do not wish to participate in such thoughtless eulogy. If faith does not make it a holy act to be willing to murder one's son then let the same condemnation be pronounced upon Abraham as upon every other man.
 * pp. 41, Princeton University Press 1973 Edition

 * For when faith is eliminated by becoming null or nothing, then there only remains the crude fact that Abraham wanted to murder Isaac - which is easy enough for anyone to imitate who has not faith, the faith, that is to say, which makes it hard for him.
 * pp. 41, Princeton University Press 1973 Edition

 * Can one then speak plainly about Abraham without incurring the danger that an individual might in bewilderment go ahead and do likewise? If I do not dare to speak freely, I will be completely silent about Abraham, above all I will not disparage him in such a way that precisely thereby he becomes a pitfall for the weak. For if one makes faith everything, that is, makes it what it is, then, according to my way of thinking, one may speak of it without danger in our age, which hardly extravagates in the matter of faith, and it is only by faith one attains likeness to Abraham, not by murder. If one makes love a transitory mood, a voluptuous emotion in a man, then one only lays pitfalls for the weak when one would talk about the exploits of love. Transient emotions every man surely has, but if as a consequence of such emotions one would do the terrible thing which love has sanctified as an immortal exploit, then all is lost, including the exploit and the bewildered doer of it.
 * pp. 42, Princeton University Press 1973 edition

 * After all, in the poets love has its priests, and sometimes one hears a voice which knows how to defend it; but of faith one hears never a word. Who speaks in honor of this passion? Philosophy goes further. Theology sits rouged at the window and courts its favor, offering to sell her charms to philosophy. It is supposed to be difficult to understand Hegel, but to understand Abraham is a trifle. To go beyond Hegel's is a miracle, but to get beyond Abraham is the easiest thing of all. I for my part have devoted a good deal of time to the understanding of the Hegelian philosophy, I believe also that I understand it tolerably well, but when in spite of the trouble I have taken there are certain passages I cannot understand, I am foolhardy enough to think that he himself has not been quite clear. All this I do easily and naturally, my head does not suffer from it. But on the other hand when I have to think of Abraham, I am as though annihilated. I catch sight every moment of that enormous paradox which is the substance of Abraham's life, every moment I am repelled, and my thought in spite of all its passion cannot get a hair's-breadth further. I strain every muscle to get a view of it - that very instant I am paralyzed.
 * pp. 43, Princeton University Press 1973 edition
 * I am not unacquainted with what has been admired as great and noble in the world, my soul feels affinity with it, being convinced in all humility that it was in my cause the hero contended, and the instant I contemplate his deed I cry out to myself, jam tua res agitur. I think myself into the hero, but into Abraham I cannot think myself; when I reach the height I fall down, for what I encounter there is the paradox.
 * pp. 44, Princeton University Press 1973 edition

 * I do not however mean in any sense to say that faith is something lowly, but on the contrary that it is the highest thing, and that it is dishonest of philosophy to give something else instead of it and to make light of faith. Philosophy cannot and should not give faith, but it should understand itself and know what it has to offer and take nothing away, and least of all should fool people out of something as if it were nothing.
 * pp. 44, Princeton University Press 1973 edition

 * I am not unacquainted with the perplexities and dangers of life, I do not fear them, and I encounter them buoyantly. I am not unacquainted with the dreadful, my memory is a faithful wife, and my imagination is (as I myself am not) a diligent little maiden who all day sits quietly at her work, and in the evening knows how to chat to me about it so prettily that I must look at it, though not always, I must say, is it landscapes, or flowers, or pastoral idylls she paints. I have seen the dreadful before my own eyes, I do not flee from it timorously, but I know very well that, although I advance to meet it, my courage is not the courage of faith, nor anything comparable to it. I am unable to make the movements of faith, I cannot shut my eyes and plunge confidently into the absurd, for me that is an impossibility ... but I do not boast of it.
 * pp. 45, Princeton University Press 1973 edition

 * When it is present to me, I am unspeakably blissful, when it is absent, I long for it more vehemently than does the lover for his object; but I do not believe, this courage I lack. For me the love of God is, both in a direct and in an inverse sense, incommensurable with the whole of reality. I am not cowardly enough to whimper and complain, but neither am I deceitful enough to deny that faith is something much higher. I can well endure living in my way, I am joyful and content, but my joy is not that of faith, and in comparison with that it is unhappy. I do not trouble God with my petty sorrows, the particular does not trouble me, I gaze only at my love, and I keep its virginal flame pure and clear. Faith is convinced that God is concerned about the least things. I am content in this life with being married to the left hand, faith is humble enough to demand the right hand - for that this is humility I do not deny and shall never deny.
 * pp. 45, Princeton University Press 1973 edition

 * But what did Abraham do? He arrived neither too soon nor too late. He mounted the ass, he rode slowly along the way. All that time he believed - he believed that God would not require Isaac of him, whereas he was willing nevertheless to sacrifice him if it was required. He believed by virtue of the absurd; for there could be no question of human calculation, and it was indeed the absurd that God who required it of him should the next instant recall the requirement. He climbed the mountain, even at the instant when the knife glittered he believed ... that God would not require Isaac. He was indeed astonished at the outcome, but by a double-movement he had reached his first position, and therefore he received Isaac more gladly than the first time. Let us go further. We let Isaac be really sacrificed. Abraham believed. He did not believe that some day he would be blessed in the beyond, but that he would be happy here in the world. God could give him a new Isaac, could recall to life him who had been sacrificed. He believed by virtue of the absurd; for all human reckoning had long since ceased to function.

 * ibid, p44

 * The dialectic of faith is the finest and most remarkable of all; it possesses an elevation, of which indeed I can form a conception, but nothing more. I am able to make from the springboard the great leap whereby I pass into infinity, my back is like that of a tight-rope dancer, having been twisted in my childhood,26 hence I find this easy; with a one-two-three! I can walk about existence on my head; but the next thing I cannot do, for I cannot perform the miraculous, but can only be astonished by it.
 * ibid pp.46

 * But now as for Abraham - how did he act? For I have not forgotten, and the reader will perhaps be kind enough to remember, that it was with the aim of reaching this point I entered into the whole foregoing discussion _. not as though Abraham would thereby become more intelligible, but in order that the unintelligibility might become more desultory. For, as I have said, Abraham I cannot understand, I can only admire him.

 * Abraham I cannot understand, in a certain sense there is nothing I can learn from him but astonishment. If people fancy that by considering the outcome of this story they might let themselves be moved to believe, they deceive themselves and want to swindle God out of the first movement of faith, the infinite resignation. They would suck worldly wisdom out of the paradox. Perhaps one or another may succeed in that, for our age is not willing to stop with faith, with its miracle of turning water into wine, it goes further, it turns wine into water.
 * ibid pp. 47

 * Only the lower natures forget themselves and become something new. Thus the butterfly has entirely forgotten that it was a caterpillar, perhaps it may in turn so entirely forget it was a butterfly that it becomes a fish. The deeper natures never forget themselves and never become anything else than what they were.
 * ibid pp. 54
 * Fools and young men prate about everything being possible for a man. That, however, is a great error. Spiritually speaking, everything is possible, but in the world of the finite there is much which is not possible.
 * ibid pp. 54

 * A young swain falls in love with a princess,29 and the whole content of his life consists in this love, and yet the situation is such that it is impossible for it to be realized, impossible for it to be translated from ideality into reality. The slaves of paltriness, the frogs in life's swamp, will naturally cry out, "Such a love is foolishness. The rich brewer's widow is a match fully as good and respectable." Let them croak in the swamp undisturbed.

 * ibid 52

 * ...passion is necessary. Every movement of infinity comes about by passion, and no reflection can bring a movement about.

 * The ethical expression of what Abraham did is that he meant to murder Isaac, the religious expression is that he meant to sacrifice Isaac – but precisely in this contradiction is the anxiety that can make a person sleepless, and yet, without this anxiety Abraham is not who he is.
 * p. 30

 * "I believe nevertheless that I shall get her, in virtue, that is, of the absurd, in virtue of the fact that with God all things are possible."

 * Infinite resignation is the last stage before faith, so anyone who has not made this movement does not have faith, for only in infinite resignation does an individual become conscious of his eternal validity, and only then can one speak of grasping existence by virtue of faith.
 * p.46

pp.58
 * Faith therefore is not an aesthetic emotion but something far higher, precisely because it has resignation as its presupposition; it is not an immediate instinct of the heart, but is the paradox of life and existence.

 * For the act of resignation faith is not required, for what I gain by resignation is my eternal consciousness, and this is a purely philosophical movement which I dare say I am able to make if it is required, and which I can train myself to make, for whenever any finiteness would get the mastery over me, I starve myself until I can make the movement, for my eternal consciousness is my love to God, and for me this is higher than everything. For the act of resignation faith is not required, but it is needed when it is the case of acquiring the very least thing more than my eternal consciousnesses, for this is the paradoxical.
 * pp58

 * In resignation I make renunciation of everything, this movement I make by myself, and if I do not make it, it is because I am cowardly and effeminate and without enthusiasm and do not feel the significance of the lofty dignity which is assigned to every man, that of being his own censor, which is a far proud er title than that of Censor General to the whole Roman Republic.
 * pp.59

 * By faith I make renunciation of nothing, on the contrary, by faith I acquire everything, precisely in the sense in which it is said that he who has faith like a grain of mustard can remove mountains. A purely human courage is required to renounce the whole of the temporal to gain the eternal; but this I gain, and to all eternity I cannot renounce it - that is a self-contradiction.
 * pp.59

 * It goes against the grain for me to do what so often happens, to speak inhumanly about the great as if a few millennia were an immense distance. I prefer to speak humanly about it, as if it happened yesterday, and let only the greatness itself be the distance.
 * S. Walsh, trans. (2006), p. 28

Problema I

 * One not infrequently hears it said by men, who for lack of losing themselves in studies are absorbed in phrases, that a light shines upon the Christian world whereas a darkness broods over paganism. This utterance has always seemed strange to me, inasmuch as every profound thinker and every serious artist is even in our day rejuvenated by the eternal youth of the Greek race. Such an utterance may be explained by the consideration that people do not know what they ought to say but only that they must say something.
 * pp.66, Princeton University Press, 1973

 * Faith is precisely this paradox, that the individual as the particular is higher than the universal, is justified over against it, is not subordinate but superior - yet in such a way, be it observed, that it is the particular individual who, after he has been subordinated as the particular to the universal, now through the universal becomes the individual who as the particular is superior to the universal, for the fact that the individual as the particular stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
 * pp.67, Princeton University Press, 1973

 * Abraham is therefore at no instant a tragic hero but something quite different, either a murderer or a believer. The middle term which saves the tragic hero, Abraham has not. Hence it is that I can understand the tragic hero but cannot understand Abraham, though in a certain crazy sense I admire him more than all other men.

 * pp.67, Princeton University Press, 1973

 * The difference between the tragic hero and Abraham is clearly evident. The tragic hero still remains in the ethical.

 * In our age we hear this cry seldom, for as our ago, to its disadvantage, does not produce heroes , it has also the advantage of producing few caricatures.
 * pp, 73, Princeton University Press, 1973

 * "It is to bejudged according to the result," a man is at once clear as to who it is he has the honor of talking with. Those who talk thus are a numerous tribe, whom I will denominate by the common name of Docents.49 In their thoughts they live secure in existence, they have a solid position and sure prospects in a well-ordered state, they have centuries and even millenniums between them and the concussions of existence, they do not fear that such things could recur - for what would the police say to that! and the newspapers! Their lifework is to judge the great, and to judge them according to the result. Such behavior toward the great betrays a strange mixture of arrogance and misery: of arrogance because they think they are called to be judges; of misery because they do not feel that their lives are even in the remotest degree akin to the great.
 * pp. 73, Princeton University Press, 1973

 * Why then did Abraham do it? For God's sake, and (in complete identity with this) for his own sake. He did it for God's sake because God required this proof of his faith; for his own sake he did it in order that he might furnish the proof. The unity of these two points of view is perfectly expressed by the word which has always been used to characterize this situation: it is a trial, a temptation [FristetseJ,4' A temptation - but what does that mean? What ordinarily tempts a man is that which would keep him from doing his duty, but in this case the temptation is itself the ethical ... which would keep him from doing God's will. But what then is duty? Duty is precisely the expression for God's will. Here is evident the necessity of a new category if one would understand Abraham. Such a relationship to the deity paganism did not know. The tragic hero does not enter into any private relationship with the deity, but for him the ethical is the divine, hence the paradox implied in his situation can be mediated in the universal.

 * Is there such a thing as a teleological suspension of the ethical?
 * p. 54

 * The ethical as such is the universal, and as the universal it applies to everyone, which from another angle means that it applies at all times. It rests immanent in itself, has nothing outside itself that is its τέλος but is itself the τέλος for everything outside itself, and when the ethical has absorbed this into itself, it goes not further. The single individual, sensately and psychically qualified in immediacy, is the individual who has his τέλος in the universal, and it is his ethical task continually to express himself in this, to annul his singularity in order to become the universal. As soon as the single individual asserts himself in his singularity before the universal, he sins, and only by acknowledging this can he be reconciled again with the universal. ... Faith [in contrast to the ethical] is namely this paradox that the single individual is higher than the universal ... so that after having been in the universal he as the single individual isolates himself as higher than the universal.
 * pp. 54-55

 * It is certainly true that many persons may be so constituted that they are repulsed by it, but faith ought not therefore to be made into something else to enable one to have it, but one ought rather to admit to not having it, while those who have faith ought to be prepared to set forth some characteristics the paradox can be distinguished from the spiritual trial. p. 56

 * How did Abraham exist? He had faith. This is the paradox by which he remains at the apex, the paradox that he cannot explain to anyone else, for the paradox is that he as the single individual places himself in an absolute relation to the absolute. p. 62

 * When in our age we hear these words: It will be judged by the result-then we know at once with whom we have the honor of speaking. Those who talk this way are a numerous type whom I shall designate under the common name of assistant professors. p. 62

 * But we are curious about the result, just as we are curious about the way a book turns out. We do not want to know anything about the anxiety, the distress, the paradox. We carry on an esthetic flirtation with the result. p. 63

 * To explain the whole of existence and faith along with it, without having a conception of what faith is, is easy, and that man does not make the poorest calculation in life who reckons upon admiration when he possesses such an explanation; for, as Boileau says, "un sot trouve toujours un plus sot qui l'admire."

 * Faith is a marvel, and yet no human being is excluded from it; for that which unites all human life is passion, and faith is a passion.
 * p. 67

 * Now we will let the knight of faith appear in the role just described. He makes exactly the same movements as the other knight, infinitely renounces claim to the love which is the content of his life, he is reconciled in pain; but then occurs the prodigy, he makes still another movement more wonderful than all, for he says, "I believe nevertheless that I shall get her, in virtue, that is, of the absurd, in virtue of the fact that with God all things are possible.

Problema II

 * In Hegelian philosophy, the outer (the externalization) is higher than the inner.
 * p. 68

 * Recent philosophy has allowed itself simply to substitute the immediate for “faith.” if that is done, then it is ridiculous to deny that there has always been faith. this puts faith in the rather commonplace company of feelings, moods, idiosyncrasies, vagaries, etc. if so, philosophy may be correct in saying that one ought not to stop there. But nothing justifies philosophy in using this language. … Only when the individual has emptied himself in the infinite, only then has the point been reached where faith can break through.
 * p. 69

 * The true knight of faith is a witness, never a teacher, and therein lies his deep humanity, which is worth a good deal more than this silly participation in others' weal and woe which is honored by the name of sympathy, whereas in fact it is nothing but vanity.

Problema III

 * Recognition and hiddenness are also an essential element of modern drama. … I assume that everyone who merely hears the word “hiddenness” will easily be able to shake a dozen novels and comedies out of his sleeve. ... If someone playing the hiding game hides nonsense, we get a comedy, but if he is related to the idea, he may come close to being a tragic hero.
 * p. 84

 * Faust fulfills this idea. Anyone who has a notion of what it means for a person to live on spirit also knows what the hunger of doubt means and knows that the doubter hungers just as much for the daily bread of life as for the nourishment of spirit.
 * p. 109

 * A man rouges his face and wears a periwig. The same man is eager to try his fortune with the fair sex, he is perfectly sure of conquering by the aid of the rouge and the periwig which make him absolutely irresistible. He captures a girl and is at the acme of happiness. Now comes the gist of the matter: if he is able to admit this embellishment, he does not lose all of his infatuating power; when he reveals himself as a plain ordinary man, and bald at that, he does not thereby lose the loved one.

 * So either there is a paradox, that the individual as the individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute ... or Abraham is lost.

Epilogue

 * Once when the price of spices in Holland fell, the merchants had a few cargoes sunk in the sea in order to jack up the price. Do we need something similar in the world of the spirit? Are we so sure that we have achieved the highest, so that there is nothing left for us to do except piously to delude ourselves into thinking that we have not come that far, simply in order to have something to occupy one’s time> is this the kind of self-deception the present age needs? Should it be trained in the virtuosity along that line, or is it not, instead adequately perfected in the art of deceiving itself?
 * p. 121-122

 * "One must go further, one must go further." This impulse to go further is an ancient thing in the world.

 * Faith is the highest passion in a man. There are perhaps many in every generation who do not even reach it, but no one gets further.

Quotes about Fear and Trembling

 * The leading figures of the generation that came to philosophical maturity in the 1840s¹stressed, from the start, their sharp disagreements with the systematic idealism of their predecessors. As Søren Kierkegaard’s pseudonymous author Johannes de Silentio makes clear in Fear and Trembling, the one thing that he is notwriting is 'the System'—that is, any version of Hegelian idealism. …
 * Karl Ameriks, Kant and Historical Turn (2006), 10. The Legacy of Idealism in the Philosophy of Feuerbach, Marx, and Kierkegaard

 * Kierkegaard’s relation to idealism is not the confrontation of one ‘system’ with another, or the attempted substitution for philosophy of an anthropological science or a program for necessary social liberation. Nonetheless, he borrows more from German Idealism than his relentless campaign against Hegel would lead one to expect. This background is indicated in the title of one of his major works, Stages on Life’s Way, as well as in the subtitle he chose for his classic Fear and Trembling: A Dialectical Lyric. At the center of Kierkegaard’s thought is a project that parallels the plot of Hegel’s Phenomenology—namely, a philosophical outline of the ideal ‘pathway of consciousness’. Whereas Hegel describes four main stages in the social history of ‘freedom’, Kierkegaard focuses on four ‘stages on life’s way’ in the development of individual freedom. These stages are deeply Hegelian because they are ordered dialectically in a series of determinate negations, and they exhibit a progression of stages that employs —and then reorders —the key phases of Hegel’s ‘objective’ and ‘absolute’ spirit. In place of Hegel’s sequence—ethics, aesthetics, religion, philosophy—Kierkegaard uses the ascending order: aesthetics, ethics, philosophical religion, orthodox religion.
 * Karl Ameriks, Kant and Historical Turn (2006), 10. The Legacy of Idealism in the Philosophy of Feuerbach, Marx, and Kierkegaard

 * There were some pre-Nietzschean efforts to formulate perspectives that were “beyond” or “above” the traditional “moral” outlooks, insofar as these outlooks were considered negatively, as being either too rigidly mechanical, overly rule-governed, and/or morally uninspiring (i.e., as not expressing the “true” moral spirit). One example is in Hegel’s early writings (e.g.,“The Spirit of Christianity,” 1797), where he stated that via the feeling of love, all thought of [Kantian] duties vanishes, and one rises above the whole [mechanically defined] sphere of justice and injustice. A slightly more extreme example is in the writings of Søren Kierkegaard (1813–55), who characterized the paradoxical and incomprehensible “religious” perspective as one located beyond the rationally-grounded and rule-governed “ethical” perspective. He referred to this as the “teleological suspension of the ethical” in Fear and Trembling (1843).
 * Robert Wicks, Nietzsche (2002), p. 165

 * Delete. I'm not sure that there's any good way to quote the 48 laws without being a copyright violation. The book includes quite a bit more to along with each of the laws, but what's quoted here is basically the essence of it and is likely to represent a copyright violation under just about any circumstances. It might be possible to quote excerpts from the full chapters, but listing the laws like this is a Bad Idea. —LrdChaos (talk) 21:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Concur with LrdChaos. Note that The 48 Laws of Power quotes the entire list, which certainly violates factor #4 of the "fair use" doctrine, in that it could have a significant impact on the "the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work", and probably violates #3 as well, because although the portion of the text isn't large, it is, as LrdChaos says, the entire essence of the work. (Of course, that's Wikipedia's problem, not ours.) This is a problem with any work whose primary selling feature is a special list that will only be revealed to you if you get the book. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
