 * Walter Clemons, in Vanity Fair, as quoted in The Complete Lyrics of Cole Porter (1992)

 * The wit of his words depended on his ability to raise the audience immediately to his own level — and keep it there. The instant happiness that Porter gave his audience is the kind that becomes history.
 * Alfred Kazin, in The New Republic

 * Yeah. Cole Porter, but he was taken.
 * Patsy Kelly, when asked if she had a preferred lavender marriage.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cdecece. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cdecece~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

The Weekenders

The Weekenders is a Disney animated series about the weekend life of four diverse 12-year-old 7th graders: Tino Tonitini, Lorraine ("Lor") McQuarrie, Carver Descartes, and Petratishkovna ("Tish") Katsufrakis, voiced by veteran cartoon voice-actors: Jason Marsden, Grey DeLisle, Phil LaMarr, and Kath Soucie.

Dialogue
Tino: Tino here. So, we are never gonna decide what to do this weekend. Carver says it's too cold for the beach, Lor says the mall's getting boring, and Tish says all the games at Funville are historically inaccurate...Yes, she really said that.  Carver: Curse you modern day technology, CURSE YOU!!!  [repeated line] Tino: Later days!  Tish: {angrily} That DOES it! I'm going home before I say something I'll regret! Lor: Like what? Tish: Like-you're a bunch of insensitive GUTTERSNIPES! [storms off] Carver: She definitely would have regretted that. Tino: Oh yeah. Lor: Good thing she didn't say it.

Tish's Mom: I'll leave you to kitch en mai cub. Lor: Urgh, kitchen my cub? Tish: "Kiss and make up".

 [about Tish] Tish's Mom: Tishie your friends here for apel chiz. Tino: [Whispers] That's apologies.

 Tish: Well, maybe I am still "The Brain", even if I did get a B. But I'm also cultured, beautiful, shrewd, loquacious, fleet of foot- Lor: Big of head! Tish: Yes, that too! [giggles] Later days!  [referring to Tish's diva-like behavior following her TV appearance] Carver: I've created a monster! Lor: And not even a cool, Frankenstein-y one. Tini: More like the Creature from the Pain-in-the-Butt Lagoon.  Tish's Mom: Poor little sweet-bean; now that she is famous, she is frog-eating the littlie people. Lor: "Frog-eating" the little people? Tino: "Forgetting" the little people.  [dragged to Scottish games by Lor] Tino: [Thoughts] I don't know what's worse, this or the shoe show... Carver: [Thoughts] I wonder if I'd look good in a kilt. Tish: [Thoughts] I think I sat in some haggis.

 [about Lor] Tino's Mom: Aren't you overreacting? Tino: Mom, she's wearing pink. Tino's Mom: Ooh, that is serious.

 Tish: If I'm a winter, how about this? [Comes out of dressing room dressed in a white faux fur coat that covers all but her face] Tino: Stand absolutely still. Carver: What if it hunts by scent? Tish: Ha, ha. Very funny. Tino: Aah! It's seen us! Run!

 Carver: I am going to be CARP! Tino: Did you say Carp? Carver: That stands for what I want to be. Cool And Radically Popular. Tino: It's a good thing you don't want to be Cool RICH And Popular. Carver: Why?

 [repeated line] Tish's Mom: Is what I say!

 Tino: If you try to make everyone follow your plan, you're really no better than a gym teacher.

 Tish: Maybe you're confusing us with your imaginary friends. [Tino turns to the camera and addresses the audience] Tino: She thinks I have imaginary friends. Ha!

 [about his mother's vegetarian Halloween candy] Tino: That's so healthy, its un-American...

 Lor: On our planet we call that a golf course.

 Tino: If a game doesn't have rules, it's not a game is it? Carver: No, it's politics.

 Carver: You have a point there, Lor. [Frantically checking her chest] Lor: Where?

 Tino: We may not be as interesting as the people on Teen Canyon, but at least we aren't made up characters on T.V... or are we?

 Tino: Want me to leave so you can say bad words? Tino's Mom: Yeah, that would be nice...

 Tino: Why can't you be one of those nice moms who just say, "That's nice, dear" and leave it at that? Tino's Mom: That's nice, dear. Tino: Well it's a little too late for that now. Tino's Mom: That's nice, dear. Tino: Okay, you can stop that now. Tino's Mom: That's nice, dear. Tino: No talking!

 [Tish is forcing her friends to do a radio play] Carver: I can't work under these conditions! I'll be in my trailer! [Walks into a closet and closes it] Tino: That's my closet, Olivier.

 [a girl who humiliated Carver is waving at him at the beach] Carver: SHE'S WAVING AT ME? Isn't there a law against that? Tino: [Sarcastically] Yeah, it's enforced by the Federal Bureau of Waving.

 [Tino is poking his dinner with a fork, but not eating it] Tino's Mom: It isn't going to bite you. Tino: That works out nicely, because I don't plan to bite IT.

 Carver: Do you have a compass in there? Tino: Yup! Carver: Maybe you can use it to find your way back to REALITY!

 Tino: They're coming to get me! Mutant clowns from the Hollow Earth! They're real! It's the clown-pocalypse! Aaah! Carver: I think he's getting better. He's rolling on his own.

 Mrs Duong: Thank you for helping Helpers Helping the Helpless. Your help was very... helpful! And if anyone finds my thesaurus please let me know.

 Tish: Me? JEALOUS? I haven't got a jealous bone in my body! Carver: Do you have any jealous internal organs?

 Carver: Excuse me while I spend the rest of my life in the attic. [Carver walks off] Lor: Wow! That must be a pretty nice attic! Er...what?

 Tish: Lor, don't you think you're being a tad melodramatic? Carver: A tad? More like five tads and sixteen smidgins.

 Carver: Ugh, I think my stomach just resigned in protest.

 Tino: I think your cooking may have military applications. Tino's Mom: Watch it...

 [Tino is upset because he didn't win a category in the yearbook] Tino: I'm just a fat, ugly, loser. Lor: You're not fat!

 Frances: [dressed as scissors for Halloween] Pointy, pointy.

 [repeated line] Frances: [snickers] I like pointy things... [snickers again]

 Dixon: [playing ball] Try to keep your eye on the ball this time, it won't bite. Tino: It's not so much biting I'm worried about as much as bone-shattering impact.

 Tino's Mom: [Tino refuses to leave his room] He said he won't come out until the city's been cleared of its un-holy clown infestation.

 Lor: Have you seen The World's Funniest Medical Blunders? Carver: I have. Once, this guy swallowed his dentures and when the doctors gave him an x-ray, his kidneys were smiling back at him.

 Tino: Hello, could you at least knock before you enter my mind?

 Lor: [watching Carver riding Tino's scooter] Huh, you have pretty good posture for someone without a backbone.

 Tish: If you need an idea, use your imagination. Lor: I think I sprained mine.

 Tino: Can I have a map to that sentence?

 Lor: [Mowing Tino's lawn] Was that a rosebush? Tino: Not anymore.

 Tino: Tish has lost her dignity. Lor: Look under the sofa cushion. I find all sorts of stuff under there.

 Tino: How long have we been here? Lor: Somewhere between an hour... and a hundred thousand years.

 Tish: Don't you want to broaden your minds? Lor: Our minds are already broad enough. Carver: Yeah, I already have trouble finding hats that fit.

 Carver: How do you spell handsome? Cherrie: M-e-l G-i-b-s-o-n.

 Tino: [Carver is wearing a latex suit and helmet] You look like a roll-on deodorant.

 Carver: Interesting. And how did you obtain your data? Tino: I made it up. Carver: I see.

 Carver: Those geeks...those geeks.. Those geeks are my friends! Tino: Way to go Carver! Wait, did he just say geeks?

 Tino's Mom: You know, a kite flies on a string, not a stick. Tino: [pause] Wow, I could see your lips moving, but all I heard was "blah, blah blah".

 Lor: It's the crazy, backwards universe. Tino: Where up is down and boy bands play instruments.

 Tino: The cliff-dwellers didn't have skateboards! Cliffs plus wheels equals BAD!

 Lor : It's the crazy, backwards universe again. Tino: Where cats chase dogs and sitcoms are funny.

 Lor: If that counts as dancing then it counts as singing when I burp.

 Tino: Mom, which one of these shirts projects a mysterious, vulnerable, dangerous, lost puppy quality? Tino's Mom: Come here. Let me feel your forehead.

 Tish: I have here plans for a twelve-foot granite pyramid with twenty thousand miniature workers dragging stone blocks. Tino: Uh-huh? And I have *here* cardboard, glue, sticks and paint. Tish: Okay. How about a one-foot pyramid with two miniature workers dragging a sugar cube. Tino: I know you spent a lot of time on those plans, Tish. I'm sorry you had to compromise your artistic vision. Tish: And *I'm* sorry you had to sit on a tube of paint. Tino: Oh great. Looks like I sat on a leprechaun.

 Carver: You guys are toast. Tino: Well you're double toast. Lor: You're triple toast. Tish: You're *French* toast. Tino: *French* toast? Tish: [sighs] It's been a long day.

 Lor: Go fish. Carver: We're playing Crazy Eights.

 Tino: You're going to be combing pudding out of your hair! Carver: You can't comb dreads!

 Tino: Games involve strategy, cunning, and knowledge of the humans psyche. Sports involves me looking like a geek.

 One of Lor's brothers: [literally handing Lor over to Tino, Carver, and Tish] She makes waffles, she says "please", she won't punch anybody. FIX HER!

 Tino's Mom: You know, there's a lesson in this. Tino: Why did I know there would be? Tino's Mom: Sometimes, we think somebody would be perfect if only one thing about them. But when we change that one thing, suddenly they're not that person we knew. Tino: Yeah, OK. Tino's Mom: And before you know it, you're divorced and raising a child all on your own. Tino: This isn't about Lor anymore, is it? Tino's Mom: Lor who?

 Tino: So, Carv, imagine the worst thing that can happen if you went back on the radio. Carver: Well, I go in, totally choke really bad, get suspended from school, get kicked out by my parents, hop a freight train out west, get arrested for being a hobo, and end up in a chain gang with a guy named Lenny who calls me George and keeps talking about the rabbits. Tino: OK...you're not allowed to use your imagination anymore.

 Carver: I am clearly not fit to be the voice of Bahia Bay. Don't worry, I'm completely content with being the voice of total failure. Lor: You could start with being the voice of mediocrity and work your way down from there. [Tish elbows her in the ribs] What'd I say?

 Lor: [to Tish] I'm about to get the "If you can't say something nice" lecture, huh?
 Carver:' [on the way to sign Tino up for clown school] Don't worry, T., we're all gonna sign up for clown school with you. Lor: [cheering] Clown school! Clown school! Clown school! Tino: Great, my friends will be there to see me get scared and vomit. Lor: [cheering] Vomit! Vomit! Vomit!

 Lor: [As the gang celebrates getting yearbook superlatives] I'm gonna have "Most athletic" tattooed to my face! Carver: Oh man, I was gonna do that, only with "best shoes". Lor: Why would you wanna tattoo "best shoes" to my face?

 Bluke: Gum from the sidewalk tastes best.

 Tino's Mom: You can't force yourself to mature. Tino: Can so. Tino's Mom: Can not. Tino: Can so. Tino's Mom: Can not. Tino: Can so. Tino's Mom: Can not times infinity. Tino: Blast.

 [When trying to help Lor study but she cannot stay focused] Tino: Man, her brain has like totally shut down. Tish: I think it's a mechanism evolved by her Scottish ancestors to protect her from bagpipe music.

Silver Surfer

The Silver Surfer is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero created by Jack Kirby. He first appeared in the comic book Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966). Originally an astronomer of Zenn-La named Norrin Radd, to save his homeworld from destruction he agreed to become the herald of Galactus, a being older than our universe who regularly feeds on the life-force of planets. He was then endowed with a small portion of the Power Cosmic by which he constantly draws energy from the Universe around him. Traveling at nearly limitless speeds upon a silvery board controlled by his thought, he sought out worlds suitable for Galactus to consume, until he was inspired to rebel against him to save the Earth.

The Origin of the Silver Surfer!

 * Silver Surfer # 1 (August 1968), written by Stan Lee, drawn by John Buscema

 * In every part of the globe it is the same! Hatred, fear and unreasoning hostility have possessed men's hearts! But the Silver Surfer will have no part of it!
 * In exile on the Earth, p. 5

 * Those to whom no distant horizons beckon ... for whom no challenges remain ... though they have inherited a Universe ... they possess only empty sand!
 * As Norrin Radd, p. 7

 * My people have lost the spirit of high adventure ... the thrill of exploration ... the longing to see beyond the veil of knowledge!
 * As Norrin Radd, p. 8

 * Let my board and me again become as one! For I must leave this place of madness!
 * p. 12

 * Now, I ride the Eternal winds once more! And none shall ever be my master!
 * p. 16

 * Paradise unearned is but a land of shadows!
 * As Norrin Radd, p. 18

The Power and The Prize!

 * Silver Surfer # 3, (December 1968) written by Stan Lee

 * Unlike the humans, who call you beast, there is no violence in your heart. No hint of avarice, no smoldering hate! Yet man, who has won dominion over all this world, is a stranger to peace — a prisoner, caught in the web of his own nameless fears.

The Origin of the Silver Surfer
Written by Larry Brody (February 7, 14 and 21)
 * Norrin Radd: Watcher! If this world means so much to you, show yourself! I know you are there!
 * Watcher Prime: I feel great pity and sorrow for you all.
 * Norrin Radd: Pity? Sorrow? You dare! What kind of monster are you to... to claim sorrow but refuse to help those in need? You have already broken your vow. Now you, who have witnessed the depredations of Galactus for eons, must tell us more! You WILL tell us more!
 * Watcher Prime: For what purpose? Galactus cannot be swayed.
 * Norrin Radd: You must know something that can save our world. Tell me his secret. NOW!

 * Norrin Radd: Galactus. I am Norrin Radd of the planet, Zenn-La. I'm not here to beg nor ask for your mercy. Instead, I've come to give you an offer. I can help you! I can give you the one thing that even the great Galactus needs!
 * [Galactus chuckles]
 * Norrin Radd: Galactus, are you listening to me?
 * Galactus: Your presumptiousness amuses me, Norrin Radd of Zenn-La. How could one such as you help one such as I? I, who needs nothing, who desires nothing!
 * Norrin Radd: Great Galactus, do you not desire to survive?
 * Galactus: [Chuckles] The tiny mite grows even bolder. Tell me, what is it Galactus needs to survive?
 * Norrin Radd: Planets. An endless supply of planets to consume. Your constant search depletes you. And that date is coming when you will not find your next meal in time. It need not be so. Spare Zenn-La and I will serve you as a net serves a fisherman. Cast me out into the sea of space, and I will find the worlds you need!
 * Galactus: I am Galactus! My power is limitless! In all the universe, there is nothing I cannot do. Hmmm...yet, I grow so weary of the endless search.

 * Shalla-Bal: You have saved us, Norrin Radd. But the price...
 * Norrin Radd: It must be paid. And only I, of all those people on this world, can pay it.
 * Shalla-Bal: But how can anyone of Zenn-La serve Galactus? It is against all we stand for.
 * Norrin Radd: I know what we stand for.
 * Shalla-Bal: Then how can you help him destroy thousands of worlds?
 * Norrin Radd: You do not understand. I will guide him only to planets whose cores burst with energy yet which have no intelligent life. I will save countless civilizations. This is the true philosophy of Zenn-La.
 * Shalla-Bal: This is what you have longed for all your life. It truly is your chance to explore the stars. Use it well, my love. Use it wisely.

 * Galactus: To perform your task as my herald, Norrin Radd, you must become far more than merely a man. I bestow upon you a part of my own Power Cosmic. You shall absorb boundless strength from the cosmos itself. Needing no food to eat. Nor water to drink. Nor air to breathe. You shall be able to transmute the elements. And to heal others as well as yourself. Cosmic bolts of awesome power shall be yours to hurl. And neither the frigid cold of the deepest space or the blazing heat of the brightest star shall harm your shielded body. Most importantly, I shall give you the means to travel faster than the fastest starship. So you may soar to the ends of the universe and beyond. Norrin Radd exists no more. You are newborn my herald. Even your mind is a new page on which I shall write. ARISE!

 * Silver Surfer: [Points to Zenn-La] What of this planet, master?
 * Galactus: I gave a promise once to an honorable man. That planet is not for such as we.

Quotes about Silver Surfer

 * My conception of the Silver Surfer was a human being from space in that particular form. He came in when everybody began surfing — I read about it in the paper. The kids in California were beginning to surf. I couldn’t do an ordinary teenager surfing so I drew a surfboard with a man from outer space on it.
 * Jack Kirby "Jack Kirby Interview", Gary Groth, The Comics Journal, #134, (February 1990), posted May 23, 2011.

 * I won't let them take another Silver Surfer away from me.
 * Jack Kirby; as quoted in "Silver Surfer #1: An Examination" by Tom Scioli, The Comics Journal, (Aug 21, 2013).

 * Herald, prepare yourself!! Prepare to be ... REBORN! At the command of Galactus... you have fallen!! And now... at my command once again... I bid you... RISE!!
 * Galactus to Norrin Radd, as he infuses him with the Power Cosmic in Silver Surfer # 1, written by Stan Lee, (August 1968).

 * We were all into Marvel Comics, and the Silver Surfer seemed to be another fantastic singular image. We never got permission to use it. But we liked the image of a silver man, on a silver surfboard, scooting across the universe. It had mystical, mythical properties.... Very cosmic man.
 * Aubrey Powell, on an alternate design concept considered for the cover of the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon, in Dark Side of the Moon : The Making of the Pink Floyd Masterpiece (2006) by John Harris, p. 150.

 * That wasn't the title track of the album for quite a while. It was going to be called The Lord of Karma. It wasn't until we finished that track and added the jet noises that we realized that "Surfing" was the song that summed up the feeling of the whole album. The whole thing with putting the Silver Surfer on the cover was purely by accident. It came about because the product manager at the record label, Jim Kozlowski, used to be called the Silver Surfer when he was a DJ in Boston. When I delivered the album, he said, "This is a great title. We should put the Silver Surfer on the cover." I had no idea what he was talking about. I literally did not know anything about the comic book character.
 * Joe Satriani on the title-song of his album Surfing with the Alien in Guitar World Presents the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time (2002) edited by Jeff Kitts and Brad Tolinski, No. 30, of "The Hundred Greates Solos of All Time", p. 148.

 * Silver Surfer #1 is a comic worth examining closely. It has a lot of things colliding at once. It's the straw that broke the camel's back in Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's working relationship. The Silver Surfer series is possibly John Buscema's finest moment. It's Stan Lee's first big self-conscious stab at creating something ambitious and meaningful. It's also a good example of what Lee's writing is like when you subtract Kirby or Steve Ditko from the equation. There are some interesting narrative flourishes, but also a leaden storytelling instinct and deep misunderstanding of his own co-creations.
 * Stranger in a Strange Land is obviously a touchstone. Can you grok that? Stan Lee is doing his delightfully purple prose thing with "O'er" and "Seeker of truth." The setup in the Fantastic Four comic said that the Surfer was confined to roam the Earth, yearning for the freedom of celestial space and learning what it is to be human. It's a good setup, but it's not set in stone. Why NOT let him roam the universe. Why restrict him? It took until 1987 for that to happen with Marshall Rogers and Steve Engelhart's Silver Surfer relaunch. That was Engelhart's stated purpose, to get the Surfer into space where he belongs.
 * Tom Scioli, "Silver Surfer #1: An Examination", (Aug 21, 2013).

 * We also tried the Silver Surfer for the Dark Side of the Moon. I wanted to use the Silver Surfer because we liked him. I wanted to use him, literally, on one of those huge great rollers in Hawaii, a guy sprayed or body clad in silver. I thought it would be really cool; it would look like a comic character come to life...
 * Storm Thorgerson, on an alternate design concept considered for the cover of the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon, in Can Rock & Roll Save the World? : An Illustrated History of Music and Comics (2005) by Ian Shirley, p. 50.

 * Perhaps the purest expression of heroism in the face of adversity was Marvel's Silver Surfer. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965, the Silver Surfer received his own title when Marvel expanded its line in 1968. The notion of a shiny silver being from another planet flying through the cosmos on a surfboard sounds ridiculous, but, in fact, this was an unusually humorless series. ... No matter where he goes or what he does to aid human civilization, he is repaid with fear and animosity. Yet, like a Christ figure sent to save the people of Earth, the Surfer bears his cross and endures his lonely obligation.
 * Bradford W. Wright in Comic Book Nation : The Transformation of Youth Culture in America (2003), p. 231.

Talk:Silver Surfer

I will probably occasionally show up to add much more to this page in the future, but I will take my time. I have been an intense fan of the Surfer since I was very young, and have many of the original issues or reprints of his comic series. I will draw a few quotes from them in the next few weeks to the extent I have the time. I have many of the originals packed away, and will probably dig them up in the next week or so, in preparation for watching the new film. ~ Silver Surfer 04:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

John Desmond Bernal

John Desmond Bernal (May 10, 1901 – September 15, 1971) was an Irish-born scientist known for pioneering X-ray crystallography in molecular biology, and considered one of the United Kingdom's most well-known and controversial scientists.

Quotes

 * If Engels had not been the constant companion in arms of Marx in the revolutionary struggles of the 19th century, there is no doubt that he would be remembered chiefly as one of the foremost scientist-philosophers of the century. It was an ironical tribute paid to the correctness of his views as to the relations between politics and ideology that he suffered complete neglect from the scientists of the Victorian age. But time now has taken its revenge, and Engels’ contemporary views on 19th century science seem to us now in the 20th far more fresh and filled with understanding than those of the professional philosophers of science of his day, who for the most part are completely forgotten, while the few that linger on, such as Lange and Herbert Spencer, are only quoted as examples of the limitations of their times.
 * Bernal (1930s) "Labour Monthly Pamphlets, No. 6" (No date). Online (here) on Marxists Internet Archive (2008).

 * One of the questions on which clarity of thinking is now most necessary is that of the relation between the methods of science and of Marxist philosophy. Although much has already been written on the subject, yet there is still an enormous amount of confusion and contradictory statement.
 * J.D. Bernal (1937) "Dialectical Materialism and Modern Science" in: Science and Society, Volume II, No. 1, Winter 1937; Online (here) on Marxists Internet Archive (2002).

 * In the decade after the war Freud’s theories dominated the narrow circles of British intellectuals. His psycho-analysis was accepted warmly for many reasons. It was new and exciting, it was shocking, it debunked religion and morals, it promised an internal liberation from all restraints. Nevertheless, it was essentially a creed of escape into an inner world of complexes and repressions and away from social and economic realities.
 * Bernal (1937) "Psycho-Analysis and Marxism" in: The Labour Monthly, Vol. 19, July 1937, No. 7, pp. 435-437. Online here on Marxists Internet Archive (2010).

 * No one, who knows what the difficulties are, now believes that the crisis of physics is likely to be resolved by any simple trick or modification of existing theories. Something radical is needed, and it will have to go far wider than physics. A new world outlook is being forged, but much experiment and argument will be needed before it can take a definitive form. It must be coherent, it must include and illuminate the new knowledge of fundamental particles and their complex fields, it must resolve the paradoxes of wave and particle, it must make the world inside the atom and the wide spaces of the universe equally intelligible. It must have a different dimension from all previous world views, and include in itself an explanation of development and the origin of new things. In this it will fall naturally in line with the converging tendencies of the biological and social sciences in which a regular pattern blends with their evolutionary history.

 * But if capitalism had built up science as a productive force, the very character of the new mode of production was serving to make capitalism itself unnecessary.

 * The central industry of modern civilisation, tending, because of its control over materials, to spread into and ultimately incorporate older industries such as mining, smelting, oil- refining, textiles, rubber, building, and even agriculture in respect to fertilizers and food processing.

 * If science were communism, was it also not possible that communism could itself become a science?

The world, the flesh & the devil (1929) (1969)

 * J.D. Bernal (1929) The world, the flesh & the devil: an enquiry into the future of the three enemies of the rational soul.

 * There are two futures, the future of desire and the future of fate, and man's reason has never learnt to separate them. Desire, the strongest thing in the world, is itself all future, and it is not for nothing that in all the religions the motive is always forwards to an endless futurity of bliss or annihilation. Now that religion gives place to science the paradiscial future of the soul fades before the Utopian future of the species, and still the future rules. But always there is, on the other side, destiny, that which inevitably will happen, a future here concerned not as the other was with man and his desires, but blindly and inexorably with the whole universe of space and time. The Buddhist seeks to escape from the Wheel of Life and Death, the Christian passes through them in the faith of another world to come, the modern reformer, as unrealistic but less imaginative, demands his chosen future in this world of men.
 * p. 3. Intro of part I. The Future (online)

 * The problem [ of specialization ] is essentially that of communications to an army in action. After a rapid advance communications become disorganized, and there is a temporary halting until they are again in working order.
 * p. 48 as cited in: C. K. Ogden (1995) Psyche. 10. 1929/30 p. 116

 * As the scene of life would be more the cold emptiness of space than the warm, dense atmosphere of planets, the advantage of containing no organic material at all, so as to be independent of both these conditions, would be increasingly felt.
 * p. 63

 * The psychology of a complex mind must differ almost as much from that of a simple, mechanized mind as its psychology would from ours; because something that must underlie and perhaps be even greater than sex is involved.

The Social Function of Science (1939)

 * MIT Press paperback ed., March 1967. Routledge, 1946; digitized 2007

 * At different stages in the educational process different changes are required. In schools the chief need is for a general change in the attitude towards science, which should be from the beginning an integral part and not a mere addition, often an optional addition, to the curriculum. Science should be taught not merely as a subject but should come into all subjects. Its importance in history and in modern life should be pointed out and illustrated. The old contrast, often amounting to hostility, between scientific and humane subjects need to be broken down and replaced by a scientific humanism. At the same time, the teaching of science proper requires to be humanized. The dry and factual presentation requires to be transformed, not by any appeal to mystical theory, but by emphasizing the living and dramatic character of scientific advance itself. Here the teaching of the history of science, not isolated as at present, but in close relation to general history teaching, would serve to correct the existing atmosphere of scientific dogmatism. It would show at the same time how secure are the conquests of science in the control they give over natural processes and how insecure and provisional, however necessary, are the rational interpretations, the theories and hypotheses put forward at each stage. Past history by itself is not enough, the latest developments of science should not be excluded because they have not yet passed the test of time. It is absolutely necessary to emphasize the fact that science not only has changed but is continually changing, that it is an activity and not merely a body of facts. Throughout, the social implications of science, the powers that it puts into men's hands, the uses they could make of them and those which they in fact do, should be brought out and made real by a reference to immediate experience of ordinary life.
 * p. 246 : How such a method of teaching could become an integral part of general education is sketched by H. G. Wells' British Association address, "The Informative Content of Education," reprinted in World Brain (Mathuen, 1938).

 * Hogben's Science for the Citizen would be an admirable text-book for such teaching.
 * p. 260

 * [The goal of efficiency was] a system in which all relevant information would be available to each research worker in an amplitude proportional to its degree of relevance.
 * p. 249

 * The problem of the re-organization of science will not be solved by administrative or financial changes. It will also be necessary to reorganise in a most comprehensive way the whole apparatus of scientific communication.
 * p. 292

 * World Encyclopaedia. -- Behind these lies another prospect of greater and more permanent importance; that of an attempt at a comprehensive and continually revised presentation of the whole of science in its social context, an idea most persuasively put forward by H. G. Wells in his appeal for a World Encyclopaedia of which he has already given us a foretaste in his celebrated outlines. The encyclopaedic movement was a great rallying point of the liberal revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The real encyclopaedia should not be what the Encyclopaedia Britannica has degenerated into, a mere mass of unrelated knowledge sold by high-pressure salesmanship, but a coherent expression of the living and changing body of thought; it should sum up what is for the moment the spirit of the age... The original French Encyclopaedia which did attempt these things was, however, made in the period of relative quiet when the forces of liberation were gathering ready to break their bonds. We have already entered the second period of revolutionary struggle and the quiet thought necessary to make such an effort will not be easy to find, but some effort is worth making because the combined assault on science and humanity by the forces of barbarism has against it, as yet, no general and coherent statement on the part of those who believe in democracy and the need for the people of the world to take over the active control of production and administration for their own safety and welfare.
 * p. 306-307. Chapter SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION. The Function of Scientific Publication. See also World Brain

 * In science men have learned consciously to subordinate themselves to a common purpose without losing the individuality of their achievements. Each one knows that his work depends on that of his predecessors and colleagues, and that it can only reach its fruition through the work of his successors. In science men collaborate not because they are forced to by superior authority or because they blindly follow some chosen leader, but because they realize that only in this willing collaboration can each man find his goal.
 * p. 415-416. Chapter XVI. THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF SCIENCE. The Transformation of Science

Science in History (1954)

 * It was my purpose to emphasize... to what extent the advance of natural science has helped to determine that of society... not only in economic changes... by the application of scientific discoveries, but... by the effect of the general frame of thought... [N]othing less would be adequate than a complete reevaluation of the reciprocal relations of science and society.
 * Preface

 * It would be as one-sided to assess the effects of science on society as of society on science.
 * Preface

There was nothing... but to attempt '''to trace the whole story from the... origins of human society. This involved a parallel study of all social and economic history in relation to the history of science'''... [T]here seemed some excuse for making a first attempt to sketch out the field, if only to stimulate, through... omissions and errors, others more leisured and qualified... No attempt is made here to present a chronologically uniform picture.
 * [T]o seek to discover how the advance of science had altered the whole frame of human thought, it would... be necessary to go back through the great controversies of the Renaissance about the Nature of the heavens, and... to the Ancients, without whose theories the controversies would have no meaning.
 * Preface

 * [S]cience has so changed its nature over... human history that no definition could be made to fit.
 * Preface

 * [T]he centre of interest... lies in natural science and technology because... the sciences of society were first embodied in tradition and ritual and only took shape under the influence and on the model of the natural sciences.
 * Preface

 * The theme which constantly recurs is the complex interaction between techniques, science, and philosophy. Science stands as a middle term between the established and transmitted practice of men who work for a living, and the pattern of ideas and traditions which assure the continuity of society and the rights and privileges of the classes that make it up.
 * Preface

 * Science, in one aspect, is ordered technique; in another, it is rationalized mythology. Because it started as a hardly distinguishable aspect of the mystery of the craftsman and the lore of the priest... science was long in establishing any independent existence in society. Even when it did find its own... adepts in medicine, astrology, and alchemy, these formed, for many ages a small group parasitic on wealthy princes, clerics, and merchants. It is only in the last three centuries that science has become traditionally established as a profession in its own right, with its specific education, literature, and fellowship.
 * Preface

 * The progress in science has been anything but uniform in time and place. ...In the course of time the centres of scientific activity have been continually displaced, usually following rather than leading the migration of the centres of commercial and industrial activity. Babylonia, Egypt, and India have all been the foci of ancient science. Greece became their common heir, and there the rational basis... was first worked out. There was little place for science in Rome and none in the barbarian kingdoms of western Europe. The heritage of Greece returned to the East from whence it had come. In Syria, Persia, and India, even in... China, new breaths... came... in a brilliant synthesis under the banner of Islam. There they underwent a development which... was to give rise to... modern science.
 * Preface

 * [T]radition links us with the revolutionary science of the Renaissance... we can distinguish... four major periods of advance. [1] [C]entred in Italy... the renewal of mechanics, anatomy, and astronomy with Leonardo, Vesalius, and Copernicus, destroying the authority of the Ancients in their central doctrines of man and the world. [2] [S]preading to the Low Countries, France, and Britain, beginning with Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes, and ending in Newton, hammered out a new mathematical mechanical model of the world.

 * Preface

Quotes about John Desmond Bernal

 * Never had Frederick Engels' famous notion of 'scientific socialism' been treated so literally.
 * Gary Werskey (1978) The visible college. p. 137: Talking about Bernal's ideas about science and communism

 * For Bernal the humanistic and the scientific dimensions were one. His vision of the sort of future that science could make possible for mankind was in total contrast to that of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Full automation, nuclear energy, and cybernetics could bring a fuller realisation of human potential. His futuristic sketches grew increasingly better grounded as his Marxism matured, making the society of the future set out in The Social Function of Science far more plausible than the one set out in his earlier work, The World, the Flesh and the Devil. His sense of history was sweeping, stretching back into the ancient past and shooting forward into the coming future.
 * (1985/1993) Marxism and the Philosophy of Science: A Critical History. Humanities Press International.

 * The extent of his faith in science can best be described as religious devotion. He comments himself: 'The same type of mind that would now make a physicist would in the Middle Ages have made a scholastic theologian.'
 * (1992) The economics of hope: essays on technical change, economic growth, and the environment. p. 25

 * He idealized science not just as knowledge but in a political sense too, believing that the management of human affairs could also be more scientific by virtue of being socialist. He was thus particularly inclined to accept the claims of Soviet Marxism to represent science in general, and to accord it the same degree of respect.
 * in: J. D. Bernal: A Life in Science and Politics Brenda Swann, Francis Aprahamian ed. p. 125

 * I remember excitedly buying a boxed set of 4 books, Science in History by John D. Bernal (Pelican, 1965), when I was an undergraduate. At the time I was an amateur Marxist and Bernal’s work was an encyclopaedic analysis of science and society from a Marxist point of view. I was delighted to learn that Bernal was an Irishman who had spent a brilliant career at the leading edge of UK science, making many notable contributions.
 * William Reville (2001) "John Desmond Bernal - The Sage" in: The Irish Times, October 11, 2001

 * John Desmond Bernal (1901-1971) was undoubtedly the most important of the "Western" scientists who, during the twentieth century, accepted the Marxist view of social development. He did more than "accept" it: he tried to sketch the whole history of science from a Marxist viewpoint; he wrote a number of articles explicitly expounding his view of the relation of Marxism to science; and from his student days he played an active role in Communist politics. He has been criticised: during his lifetime, for too readily accepting official Soviet policy, whether relating to society or to science; since his death, for having been too ready to hope that his vision of the use of science for human ends could be implemented by capitalist societies; and at all times, for an allegedly simplistic faith in science as the salvation of mankind.
 * Brian Vickery (2006) "J.D.Bernal: science and social development" on lucis.me.uk, 2006

Confetti (film)

Confetti is a 2006 British mockumentary film about a collection of soon-to-be married couples competing in a bridal magazine competition about conducting the most original wedding, and the various crises that they face along the way.

Antoni Clarke

 * Hello, my name is Antoni Clarke, and I am a bride's best friend. [Pause; wearily] I'm not gay.
 * Vivianne, am I going to meet any more mental people today?
 * Not everyone wants to get married in a crazy way. Not everyone wants their special day ruined by a gimmick. But some people do.

Vivienne

 * [About a prospective bride-to-be in an unlikely bid] She was quite pretty. We could pair her up with someone else.

Dialogue

 * [To a couple pitching an Elvis-themed wedding]
 * Vivienne: Do you think that maybe it's been done before?
 * Elvis Groom-to-be: [Confused] ... No.

 * [To a couple who pitched a train-spotting themed wedding]
 * Antoni Clarke: I understand that you came here today hoping to win a house; it isn't going to happen. Goodbye.
 * Trainspotter Groom-to-be: [Slightly indignant] There's three changes between here and Bridport...
 * Antoni Clarke: Well, I'm sure you fucking loved that. You love a train!

 * Roman Wedding Bride-to-be: Our idea is for an Ancient Roman-themed wedding.
 * Vivienne: [Delighted] Great!
 * Roman Wedding Bride-to-be]: It begins with the sacrifice of a pig at the bride's house.
 * Antoni Clarke: [Exasperated] Fuck me...

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Svetovid. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Svetovid~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again. ~ Stephen Grellet ~

It might reasonably be maintained that the true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground. To be at last in such secure innocence that one can juggle with the universe and the stars, to be so good that one can treat everything as a joke — that may be, perhaps, the real end and final holiday of human souls. ~ G. K. Chesterton in All Things Considered (1908) ~

Madeline Kahn

Madeline Gail Kahn (September 29, 1942 – December 3, 1999) was an Academy Award-nominated Jewish American actress of movie, television and theater distinguished by an unusual gift for comedy.

Quotes

 * I don't like to be my own audience, I find that being my own audience, being in the audience, makes me self-conscious, basically. So I tune in sometimes, with the sound off, to check it out and I back up to it. In the future I will look at it when some time has passed.
 * Charlie Rose, (December 16, 1996) "Charlie Rose - An interview with Madeline Kahn", Charlie Rose, PBS

 * I can't even really tell a joke. I find being funny very hard work. I am always asked about it and I feel guilty saying that, but it's the truth. I love my work but it ain't easy.
 * Michael Specter, (April 8, 1993) "At Home With: Madeline Kahn; Funny? Yes, but Someone's Got to Be", The New York Times, The New York Times Company

 * Me, as myself, I don't think I'm particularly funny. But I've noticed that people in my life always have found me amusing. Which, when I was little, really bothered me.
 * Joe Brown, (October 26, 1988) "Madeline Kahn, on The Road Back to Broadway; At the National Theatre, Remaking Billie Dawn for A New 'Born Yesterday'", The Washington Post, The Washington Post Company

 * Mel is sensual with me. He treats me like an uncle - a dirty uncle. He's an earthy man and very moral underneath. He has traditional values.
 * Paul D. Zimmerman, (February 17, 1975) "The Mad Mad Mel Brooks", Newsweek

Attributed

 * How can I believably be a dumb blonde. I'm the furthest thing from it. I am intelligent. I don't mean I have a great IQ. I just mean there's always an intelligence present in what I do.
 * Reported in Terry Byrne, (December 7, 1999) "Appreciation - Comedy was no laughing matter to Kahn", Boston Herald

 * What's wrong with musicals now is all the gifted men who've died of AIDS—who would otherwise be here today creating great theater.
 * Reported in Boze Hadleigh, (2007) Broadway Babylon: Glamour, Glitz, and Gossip on the Great White Way, Back Stage Books, ISBN 0823088308, p. 95.

 * Laughter is a strange response. I mean, what is it? It's a spasm of some kind! Is that always joy? It's very often discomfort. It's some sort of explosive reaction. It's very complex.
 * 1989 interview. Reported in William H. Honan, The New York Times (December 4, 1999) "Madeline Kahn: Funny Actress in 'Blazing Saddles'", Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, p. A-11

About

 * She is one of the most talented people that ever lived. I mean, either in stand-up comedy, or acting, or whatever you want, you can't beat Madeline Kahn.
 * Mel Brooks, reported in Tom Vallance, (December 6, 1999) "Obituary: Madeline Kahn", The Independent
