Neil Kinnock

Neil Gordon Kinnock, Baron Kinnock, PC (born 28 March 1942) is a British politician. As a member of the Labour Party, he served as a Member of Parliament from 1970 until 1995, first for Bedwellty and then for Islwyn. He was the Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition from 1983 until 1992, and Vice-President of the European Commission from 1999 to 2004.

Quotes

 * The army of brokers, jobbers and other quaintly named parasites.
 * On the City of London, Labour Monthly (December 1974)

 * Devolutionary reform will not provide a factory, a machine or jobs, build a school, train a doctor or put a pound on pensions.
 * South Wales Echo (1 November 1975)

 * The House of Lords must go - not be reformed, not be replaced, not be reborn in some nominated life-after-death patronage paradise, just closed down, abolished, finished.
 * Tribune (19 November 1976)

 * [T]he only reason why I espouse centralism now, the central organisation and co-ordination and government of our resources in this country, and would like to see much more of that co-ordination and organisation and control and democracy of resources in a Socialist country, is that I think that it is a structure that can give the best advantage to the people—the people I think I am here to represent, working-class people, irrespective of their nationality.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (9 May 1978) on the Wales Bill

 * In my right hon. Friend's reply to the right hon. Lady the Leader of the Opposition, was he not rather unsympathetic, especially now that she appears to be the last pro-Marketeer in Britain? Is not this disturbance manifested by her use of the word "abrasiveness"? For the right hon. Lady to protest a dislike of abrasiveness is rather like Count Dracula professing a distaste for blood. Will my right hon. Friend give an undertaking to increase his abrasiveness until he rubs out altogether the common agricultural policy?
 * Speech in the House of Commons (15 March 1979)

 * We live in a country afflicted by a senile and selfish capitalist system...where families are homeless, sick people unattended, children untaught whilst building workers, nurses and teachers are unemployed
 * ‘Introduction’, in Why Vote Labour? (1979), p. 2, quoted in Tudor Jones, ‘Neil Kinnock's socialist journey’, Contemporary Record, Volume 8, Issue 3 (1994), p. pp. 568–569

 * [Labour has] always believed that the community as a whole should have a greater control over these “commanding heights of the economy”.
 * ‘Introduction’, in Why Vote Labour? (1979), p. 3, quoted in Tudor Jones, ‘Neil Kinnock's socialist journey’, Contemporary Record, Volume 8, Issue 3 (1994), p. 569

 * [Labour's] socialist argument recognised that the system of economic gambling, commercial whim, speculative profiteering and profligate waste of the earth's resources that is dignified by the title 'private enterprise' is increasingly demonstrating its inability to meet human needs for food, employment, security and fulfilment.
 * ‘Forward into the Eighties—the Choice’, in Why Vote Labour? (1979), p. 19, quoted in Tudor Jones, ‘Neil Kinnock's socialist journey’, Contemporary Record, Volume 8, Issue 3 (1994), p. 569

Shadow Secretary of State for Education and Science

 * We must not look for some kind of Messiah.
 * Explaining to the Bedwellty Constituency Labour Party why he would not vote for Tony Benn in the election for deputy leader (19 June 1981), quoted in Robert Harris, The Making of Neil Kinnock (1984), pp. 157-8

 * By emphatically pressing the view that it is only possible to support radical Labour policies by supporting Tony Benn, Tony's associates have turned the contest into a gamble with policies, [yet any] disagreement with those claims has been slandered as 'opportunism', 'careerism' and evidence of every kind of departure from socialist conviction and purpose. That is the truly dangerous product of these months of contest.
 * "Personality, Policies and Democratic Socialism", Tribune (18 September 1981)

 * Heckler: At least Mrs Thatcher has got guts. Neil Kinnock: It's a pity that other people had to leave theirs on the ground at Goose Green to prove it.
 * On TVS television's programme The South Decides during the 1983 general election campaign, quoted in The Daily Telegraph (7 June 1983). Kinnock was forced to write letters to the families of the war dead to apologise.

 * If Margaret Thatcher is re-elected as prime minister on Thursday, I warn you. I warn you that you will have pain – when healing and relief depend upon payment. I warn you that you will have ignorance – when talents are untended and wits are wasted, when learning is a privilege and not a right. I warn you that you will have poverty – when pensions slip and benefits are whittled away by a government that won’t pay in an economy that can't pay. I warn you that you will be cold – when fuel charges are used as a tax system that the rich don't notice and the poor can't afford. I warn you that you must not expect work – when many cannot spend, more will not be able to earn. When they don't earn, they don't spend. When they don't spend, work dies. I warn you not to go into the streets alone after dark or into the streets in large crowds of protest in the light. I warn you that you will be quiet – when the curfew of fear and the gibbet of unemployment make you obedient. I warn you that you will have defence of a sort – with a risk and at a price that passes all understanding. I warn you that you will be home-bound – when fares and transport bills kill leisure and lock you up. I warn you that you will borrow less – when credit, loans, mortgages and easy payments are refused to people on your melting income.  If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday, I warn you not to be ordinary. I warn you not to be young. I warn you not to fall ill. And I warn you not to grow old.
 * Speech in Bridgend, Glamorgan, on Tuesday 7 June 1983. Thursday 9 June 1983 was polling day in the general election. Quoted in Robert Harris, The Making of Neil Kinnock (1984), p. 208

 * The roots of defeat which were put down by some of the elements of our party in the two or three years after 1980 made victory difficult to achieve.
 * On the Labour Party's defeat in the 1983 general election, quoted in The Times (10 June 1983), p. 1

 * I don't believe that the policies on which we fought the [1983] election ought to be ejected like some sort of spent cartridge.
 * Tribune (15 June 1983)

 * I didn't come to it intellectually, I came to it pragmatically. What intellectual appeal there was came initially entirely from Bevan mainly because of the way in which Bevan, in speech and writing, articulated exactly what I was feeling.
 * Interview with Sam Aaronovitch for Marxism Today (June 1983)

 * When I started to encounter Marxism at 16, the elementary truths of the surplus value theory and more than anything else, the logical argument that he produced that labour was the source of all wealth, gave me a political and intellectual justification for what I believed in a way that nothing else did.
 * Interview with Sam Aaronovitch for Marxism Today (June 1983)

 * Someone up there likes me.
 * Remarks to reporters on surviving a high-speed car crash (13 July 1983), quoted in Robert Harris, The Making of Neil Kinnock (1984), p. 223

Leader of the Labour Party

 * If anyone wants to know why we must conduct ourselves [with commonsense and realism], just remember at all times, with all temptations, how you, each and every one of you sitting in this hall, each and every Labour worker watching this conference, each and every Labour voter, yes, and some others as well, remember how you felt on that dreadful morning of the tenth of June. Just remember how you felt then, and think to yourselves: 'June the ninth, 1983, never ever again will we experience that.'
 * Speech to the Labour Party Conference after winning the 1983 leadership election (2 October 1983), quoted in Labour Party Annual Conference Report 1983, p. 30

 * We support the efforts to keep the pits open until exhausted.
 * The Scotsman (12 March 1984)

 * [Margaret Thatcher is a] stubborn Salome who wants the miners' heads on a plate.
 * Speech in Gloucester during the miners' strike (25 January 1985), quoted in The Times (26 January 1985), p. 2

 * I'll tell you what happens with impossible promises. You start with far fetched resolutions. They are then pickled into a rigid dogma, a code, and you go through the years sticking to that, out-dated, misplaced, irrelevant to the real needs, and you end in the grotesque chaos of a Labour council—a Labour council—hiring taxis to scuttle round a city handing out redundancy notices to its own workers. I'm telling you - and you'll listen - you can't play politics with people's jobs and with people's services. The people will not abide posturing.
 * Speech to the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth (1 October 1985)

 * We believe there should be reforms in the EEC which would benefit all the members. If these were not achieved, our policy is to preserve the ultimate option of withdrawing Britain. That option would not, this time, need a referendum, as it did before.
 * On Labour policy regarding the EEC (8 January 1986)

 * I'm a father. And no matter how much I try to convince myself towards the course of 'enlightenment' I know damn well that, put to the test, I'm what people would call a reactionary. I know it. I try and rationalize it but it's no good. I come to the same conclusion all the time. My children stand a chance of being hurt in the forseeable future by what's called permissiveness.
 * Interview with Everywoman magazine (28 August 1986), quoted in The Times (4 September 1986), p. 16

 * Those who have the immense dishonesty to fight with a ballot box in one hand and a rifle in the other have no place in democratic politics.
 * On the Provisional IRA; speech in the House of Commons (23 October 1986), reported in Hansard, 6th series, vol. 102, col. 1287

 * That sort of fundamentalism which treats possession of private property not as a desirable economic and personal asset but as a condition of liberty is a form of primitive religion.
 * Speech to National Housing and Town Planning Conference, Bournemouth (28 October 1986)

 * Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn't get what we had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand.
 * Speech at the Welsh Labour Party conference, Llandudno (15 May 1987)
 * This speech was extensively quoted in a Labour Party election broadcast during the 1987 general election. It was also used, without attribution, by then U.S. Senator Joe Biden, later President. Biden had used and properly attributed the speech many times before.

 * David Frost: If you haven't got nuclear weapons, the choice in that situation would be to subject your forces to an unfair battle. Neil Kinnock: Yes, what you're suggesting is that the alternatives are between the gesture, the threat, or the use of nuclear weapons, and surrender. In these circumstances the choice is posed, and this is a classical choice, between exterminating everything you stand for and the flower of your youth, or using all the resources you have to make any occupation totally untenable.
 * Television interview with David Frost on TV-AM (24 May 1987), quoted in David Butler and Dennis Kavanagh, The British General Election of 1987 (1987), p. 103

 * What has happened is that there are people who, for reasons best known to themselves, have voted for maintaining division in our country.
 * Remarks following the Labour defeat at the 1987 general election (12 June 1987), quoted in David Butler and Dennis Kavanagh, The British General Election of 1987 (1987), p. 103

Later life

 * In the years between our defeat in 1979 and our defeat in 1983 Labour was increasingly seen to be a party slipping towards impossiblism, succumbing to fads, riven by vicious divisions, speaking the language of sloganised dogma – and usually voicing it in the accents of menace. It was almost as if sections of the party measured the purity of their socialism by the distance which they could put between it and the minds of the British people.
 * ‘Reforming the Labour Party’, Contemporary Record, Volume 8, Issue 3 (1994), p. 535

 * [A]lterations in policy had to be made with continual reference to the need to be elected in order to be able to put principles into power. I repeatedly had to reinforce the message that the real penalty for our defeat was paid by the unemployed, the poor, the sick, the young and the old that the Labour Party existed to help.
 * ‘Reforming the Labour Party’, Contemporary Record, Volume 8, Issue 3 (1994), p. 540

 * I manifest no paranoia when I say that there has been in the Labour Party an element which has treated realism as treachery, regarded appeals to party unity as an excuse for suppression of liberties and scorned any emphasis on the importance of winning elections as a contaminating bacillus called 'electoralism'.
 * ‘Reforming the Labour Party’, Contemporary Record, Volume 8, Issue 3 (1994), p. 540

 * Oh I detest him. I did then, I do now, and it's mutual. He hates me as well. And I'd much prefer to have his savage hatred than even the merest hint of friendship from that man.
 * Comments on Arthur Scargill, leader of the National Union of Mineworkers during the 1984-1985 strike. BBC Press Office - Kinnock detests Scargill (27 February 2004).

 * I celebrated this by going to the PLP meeting [and saying], "I'd like to congratulate the parliamentary party on this real step forward for proper recognition of women in politics. And nobody's willy has dropped off."
 * As cited in "'We needed a massive amount of resilience': the female Labour MPs from the class of '87", The Guardian (24 March 2023)
 * At the 1989 Labour Party Shadow Cabinet election, 4 women had been chosen for the first time (a rule change meant voting for 3 women was compulsory). Labour's Shadow Cabinet elections were abolished in 2011. At the 1987 general election a record 41 women (21 Labour) had been elected (6.3% of the 650 total).

Undated

 * Never mistake the enthusiasm of the minority for the support of the majority.
 * Harriet Harman, "A Woman's Work" (Penguin Books, 2017)

Attributed

 * Wankers and whingers.
 * Attributed to Kinnock by Stuart Weir, "We stopped Boadicea's chariot", New Statesman (27 November 1998) p. 33.
 * Kinnock's private description of Charter 88 at the time of their launch. Kinnock later signed the Charter.

Quotes about Neil Kinnock

 * In the Financial Times this morning Mrs Thatcher was reported as saying that two more terms of office would exterminate socialism. I saw Clare Short, who asked if I had seen it, and I replied, "Yes, but I think she'll have a job to outdo Kinnock."
 * Tony Benn, diary entry (19 November 1986), quoted in Tony Benn, The End of An Era: Diaries, 1980–90, ed. Ruth Winstone (1992), p. 480

 * It has been one of Mr Kinnock's themes that Labour has to modernise itself, that it has to appeal not only to the man on the dole but to the man with a mortgage, not only to a manual labourer, but to a computer expert; it has to redefine its idea of class to accommodate social trends.
 * Charles Moore, 'Kinnock's Cop Out Book', The Spectator (24 November 1984), p. 6

Rock Profile

Rock Profile was a British television show written by and starring comedy partnership Matt Lucas and David Walliams (both now widely known for the sketch show Little Britain).

The show comprises a series of spoof interviews, involving Jamie Theakston questioning Lucas and Walliams, who play famous musicians. The interviews are often bizarre and involve broad, unflattering caricatures or just downright fictional characteristics. They are often interspersed with videos by the featured artist, including humorous captions and congratulations from other impersonated celebrities.

Kylie & Dannii Minogue

 * Kylie: Oh hi Dannii, you're just in time for the surprise!

 * Dannii: The whole family was so proud of you when your last single got to number 27 in the charts!!

Simon & Garfunkel

 * Simon: I don't even remember why we broke up anyway.
 * Garfunkel: I do!

 * Garfunkel: Two words: (sings) Bright Eyes...

H & Lee from Steps

 * Lee: Do you know who I am?.
 * Jamie: Yeah, you're Lee from Steps.
 * Lee: I thought I was H.
 * H: No, I'm H.
 * Lee: Well, who's Lisa then?
 * H: The fat one.

 * Jamie: Where would you be if you weren't in Steps?
 * Lee: Probably be at home playing with me knob.

Roméo Dallaire

Lieutenant-General Roméo Alain Dallaire (born June 25, 1946) is a Canadian senator, humanitarian, author and retired general. Dallaire is widely known for having served as Force Commander of UNAMIR, the ill-fated United Nations peacekeeping force for Rwanda between 1993 and 1994, and for trying to stop a war of genocide that was being waged by Hutu extremists against Tutsis and Hutu moderates.

Quotes

 * I know there is a God, because in Rwanda I shook hands with the devil. I have seen him, I have smelled him and I have touched him. I know the devil exists and therefore I know there is a God.
 * Shake Hands with the Devil (2003)
 * I am still suffering from my experience in Rwanda, I never know when I'm going to drive my car off a bridge, or just decide to take my life.
 * When asked about life after UNAMIR
 * "The possibility of starting a new program at the college — a military Cegep that would allow all officer cadets to spend two years in Saint-Jean before going to Kingston, instead of studying only in Kingston — is being considered. In the spirit of progress, would it be possible to support a principle as basic as the freedom of francophones in the Canadian Armed Forces by establishing a Cegep-style francophone bilingual military college."
 * H7860 Canadian Senator Hon. Roméo Dallaire (CMR/RMC 1969), on Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean (2007)
 * I think the people in the field were magnificent. And they got the stories, and I put troops at risk to get their stories out every night. But the copy people and the editing people back home, they're the ones who put Tanya Harding on and O.J. Simpson, not the guys in the field.
 * On The Charlie Rose Show giving his opinion of the media's coverage of the Rwanda Crisis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWNS4MkSpYE
 * For most countries, serving the UN's objectives has never seemed worth even the smallest of risks. Member nations do not want a large, reputable, strong and independent United Nations, no matter their hypocritical pronouncements otherwise. What they want is a weak, beholden, indebted scapegoat of an organization, which they can blame for their failures or steal victories from.
 * Shake Hands with the Devil (2003)

All the King's Men (1949 film)

All the King's Men is a 1949 film about the rise of politician Willie Stark from a rural county seat to the spotlight who, along the way, loses his initial innocence, and becomes just as corrupt as those whom he had previously assaulted.
 * Directed by Robert Rossen. Written by Robert Rossen, based on the novel by Robert Penn Warren.

'''He Might Have Been A Pretty Good Guy ... If Too Much Power ... And Women ... Hadn't Gone To his Head !''' taglines

Willie Stark

 * Why have they used every dirty method known to make sure I'm not elected County Treasurer? Well, I'll tell ya why - because they're afraid of the truth, and the truth is this. They're trying to steal your money. Yeah, I said steal. The County Commissioners rejected the low bid on the schoolhouse. Why? Well, they'll tell ya the reason is the job will be done better. The County Commissioners would have you believe that they're interested in public welfare. They're interested in welfare, sure, but it's their own.
 * My friends, my friends, I have a speech here. It's a speech about what this state needs. There's no need in my telling you what this state needs. You are the state and you know what you need. You over there, look at your pants. Have they got holes in the knees? Listen to your stomach. Did you ever hear it rumble for hunger? And you, what about your crops? Did they ever rot in the field because the road was so bad you couldn't get 'em to market? And you, what about your kids? Are they growin' up ignorant as dirt, ignorant as you 'cause there's no school for 'em? [casts his speech away] Naw, I'm not gonna read you any speech. But I am gonna tell ya a story. It's a funny story so get ready to laugh....Get ready to bust your sides laughin', 'cause it's sure a funny story. It's about a hick, a hick like you, if ya please. Yeah, like you. He grew up on the dirt roads and the gully washes of a farm. He knew what it was to get up before dawn and get feed and slop and milk before breakfast, and then set out before sunup and walk six miles to a one-room, slab-sided schoolhouse. Aw, this hick knew what it was to be a hick, all right. He figured if he was gonna get anything done, well, he had to do it himself. So he sat up nights and studied books. He studied law, because he thought he might be able to change things some - for himself and for folks like him. Now I'm not gonna lie to ya. He didn't start off thinkin' about the hicks and all the wonderful things he was gonna do for 'em. Naw, naw, he started off thinkin' of number one. But somethin' came to him on the way. How he could do nothin' for himself without the help of the people. That's what came to him. And it also came to him with the powerful force of God's own lightning back in his home county when the school building collapsed 'cause it was built of politics' rotten brick. It killed and mangled a dozen kids. But you know that story. The people were his friends because he'd fought that rotten brick. And some of the politicians down in the city, they knew that, so they rode up to his house in a big, fine, shiny car and said as how they wanted him to run for Governor....And he swallowed it. He looked in his heart and he thought in all humility, how he'd like to try and change things. He was just a country boy who thought that even the plainest, poorest man can be Governor if his fellow citizens find he's got the stuff for the job. All those fellas in the striped pants, they saw that hick and they took him in...
 * There he is! There's your Judas Iscariot! Look at him! ...Look at him....! [Chaos] Now, shut up! Shut up, all of ya! Now listen to me, ya hicks. Yeah, you're hicks too, and they fooled you a thousand times just like they fooled me. But this time, I'm gonna fool somebody. I'm gonna stay in this race. I'm on my own and I'm out for blood. Now listen to me, you hicks! Listen to me, and lift up your eyes and look at God's blessed and unfly-blown truth. And this is the truth! You're a hick, and nobody ever helped a hick but a hick himself! Alright, listen to me! Listen to me! I'm the hick they were gonna use to split the hick vote. Well, I'm standin' right here now on my hind legs. Even a dog can learn to do that. Are you standin' on your hind legs? Have you learned to do that much yet? Here it is! Here it is, ya hicks! Nail up anybody who stands in your way! Nail up Joe Harrison! Nail up McMurphy! And if they don't deliver, give me the hammer and I'll do it myself!
 * I have nothing to hide - I'll make a deal with the devil if it will help me carry out my program. But believe me, there are no strings attached to those deals. Do you know what good comes out of?...Out of bad. That's what good comes out of. Because you can't make it out of anything else. You didn't know that, did you?
 * I'm going to build a hospital, the biggest that money can buy, and it will belong to you. Any man, woman, or child who is sick or in pain can go through those doors and know that everything will be done for them that man can do. To heal sickness, to ease pain, free - not as a charity but as a right. And it is your right, do you hear me? It is your right. And it is your right that every child should have a complete education. That any man that produces anything can take it to market without paying toll, and no poor man's land or farm can be taxed or taken away from him. And it is the right of the people that they shall not be deprived of hope.
 * I'll tell you what you are. You're scared. You sat in that big easy chair of yours for thirty years and played at being a judge. And all of a sudden, I came along and put a bat in your hand and I said, 'Go ahead, judge, start swinging,' and you did, and you had a wonderful time. But now you're scared. You don't want to get your hands dirty. You want to pick up the marbles, but you don't want to get your hands dirty. Look at my whole program, Judge. How do ya think I put that across?
 * Jack, there's something on everybody. Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption.
 * You know, Judge, dirt's a funny thing. Some of it rubs off on everybody.
 * They tried to ruin me but they are ruined. They tried to ruin me, because they did not like what I have done. Do you like what I have done? Remember, it is not I who have won, but you. Your will is my strength, and your need is my justice, and I shall live in your right and your will. And if any man tries to stop me from fulfilling that right and that will, I'll break him. I'll break him with my bare hands, for I have the strength of many.
 * [his last words] Could have been whole world - Willie Stark. The whole world - Willie Stark. Why does he do it to me - Willie Stark? Why?

Jack Burden

 * [in his newspaper article] As I watched him shake his big fist and listened to his words boom out across that field, I had the feeling that here was a man with a will of iron. I had the feeling that Willie Stark would neither be steered away nor scared away from his purpose. I had the feeling that in Willie Stark, Kanoma County had found that rare thing: an honest man with courage.
 * Just tell 'em you're gonna soak the fat boys and forget the rest of the tax stuff...Willie, make 'em cry, make 'em laugh, make 'em mad, even mad at you. Stir them up and they'll love it and come back for more, but, for heaven's sakes, don't try to improve their minds.
 * Willie was right. He'd learned how to win. He spent a lot of money doing it. An awful lot of money. I was beginning to wonder where he got it from. There were rumors throughout the state that Willie was making deals with all kinds of people, strange deals...The second time out, it wasn't a campaign, it was a slaughter. It was Saturday night in a mining town. Yup, Willie came back like he said he would. He came back and he took me with him.
 * What if it is his bribe? He swept the old gang out of office. What if they hollered like stuck pigs? He jammed through bill after bill and the people got what they wanted...He started to build the roads, schools, power dams, to change the face of the state from one end to the other. His methods? Politics is a dirty game and he played it rough and dirty. Willie's little black book was a record of sin and corruption. And me, Jack Burden, I kept the book and added up the accounts. Clown, show-off, playboy they yelled at him. Building football stadiums, fiercely proud of his son who played...He said he was building up a private army, but he was building, always building, always playing up to the crowd, letting them trample on tradition. Well, tradition needed trampling on. The crowds loved it, and Willie loved it, and so did I.
 * The chips were down and Willie knew it. He was fighting for his life. He roared across the state making speech after speech and all of them adding up to the same thing. It's not me they're after, it's you. Willie hollered FOUL. Willie knew if you hollered long enough, hard enough, and loud enough, people begin to believe you. Just in case they didn't, he organized spontaneous demonstrations....In case anyone hollered back, he organized spontaneous slugging. Willie pulled every trick he ever knew - and added a few more...And always the trail led to one place, to Burden's Landing and the Judge.

Narrator of propaganda film

 * And so the eyes of the entire nation are now focused upon Governor Willie Stark. An amazing phenomenon on the American political scene. The whole state is filled with his accomplishments. Each one of them, of course, bearing his personal signature to make sure that no one will ever forget who gave them to the state. This is the way the roads used to be, but there are those who claim that they were adequate for the people's needs, that you don't need a four or six lane highway for a horse and buggy. When Stark boasts of his great school system, his critics say, 'You can't go to school and work in the fields at the same time,' and they question the benefit of these projects, charging that the need and poverty of the people is as great as before. Willie Stark has never forgotten the source of his power - the people who supported him. He still keeps his touch with these people of the backwoods, making periodic trips to such places as Kanoma City, now famous as his birthplace. For those who say that Willie Stark is a man of destiny, there are others who claim that he is a man of evil, a man who cares neither for the people or the state, but only for his own personal power and ambition. Obviously, these ambitions go far beyond the boundaries of the state. Just how far, only time will tell. Meanwhile, he is here, and from the looks of things, he is here to stay. Willie Stark - Messiah or Dictator?

Dialogue

 * Jack: Anne, Burden's Landing is a place on the moon. It isn't real. It doesn't exist. It's me, pretending I live on what I earn. It's my mother, trying to keep herself young and drinking herself old doing it. She and Adam living in this house as though your father was still alive. It's an old man like the judge, dreaming of the past. Anne, come away with me.
 * Anne: And do what?
 * Jack: Live in a shack and eat red beans. Anne, what do you want me to do?
 * Anne: Oh Jack, you haven't been sure. You've gone from one thing to the other. A year at law school and now this job as a reporter.
 * Jack: Are you afraid I can't make a living?
 * Anne: Oh no Jack, it isn't that. I don't care about the money. It's just that I, I want you to be something.
 * Jack: What is it you want me to be?
 * Anne: I don't know. It's just that I want you to be, to do something important.
 * Jack: [sarcastically turning toward the portrait] Like your father? All right, I'll run for governor. Anne, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I said that.
 * Anne: All right, Jack. I'll go away with you. I'll do anything you want me to. (They kiss.)
 * Jack: I've wanted you to say that more than anything in the world. And now that you have said it - Anne, I guess you were right. I'm not sure of anything, including myself. I'm not sure I could live up to the...Anne, wait for me. Please wait for me.
 * Anne: I'll wait for you.

 * Jack: You don't have to be smart to frame a guy like Willie Stark.
 * Sadie: No, no brother, you don't.
 * Jack: It is a frame, isn't it?...To split the vote and win the election for Harrison, huh?
 * Sadie: You know, why do ya ask?
 * Jack: I just want to make sure. Look, why don't you tell the boys to save their money? Willie couldn't steal a vote from Abe Lincoln in the cradle of the Confederacy.
 * Sadie: I wish the poor ...had enough sense to have somebody give him a good reason for the beating he's going to get. 'Cause this way, all he gets out of it is the ride. Hey, those speeches, ain't they awful? Ain't they just plain awful? Question to you: If somebody told him he was a sucker, do you think he'd quit?
 * Jack: I don't know, Sadie. I really don't know.

 * Jack: I learned something from him [Willie]. You can't make an omelet without cracking eggs.
 * Adam: Or heads?
 * Anne: But at least a hospital will be built and the sick will be cared for.
 * Adam: At what price?
 * Jack: At any price.
 * Adam: Do you really believe that, Jack?
 * Jack: I really believe that Stark wants to do good. You do too. It's a matter of method. Many times, out of evil comes good. Pain is evil. As a doctor, you should know that.
 * Adam: Pain is an evil. It is not evil. It is not evil in itself. Stark is evil.
 * Jack: The people of this state don't think so.
 * Adam: How would they know? The first thing Stark did was to take over the newspapers and the radio stations. Why be so afraid of criticism? If Stark is interested in doing good, he should also be interested in the truth. I don't see how you can separate the two. No, Stark is not for me.
 * Anne: No, Stark is not for you. Well, what's for you? Pride, pride, that's all it is, foolish, stupid pride. All you've ever talked about is what you could do if somebody would tear down and build. All right, all right, somebody has and he's given it to you. But he's not for you. No, he's not for you.

 * Jack: Why did you do it?
 * Anne: He wasn't like anybody I ever knew before.
 * Jack: You mean he wasn't like me.
 * Anne: He wasn't like anybody I ever knew before. I love him, I guess. I guess that's the reason.
 * Jack: Everybody loves him.
 * Anne: He wants to marry me.
 * Jack: Are you going to?
 * Anne: Not now, it would hurt him. Divorce would hurt his career.
 * Jack: His career!
 * Anne: Jack, Jack, what are you going to do? You can't leave him now. He needs you now more than he ever did before.
 * Jack: What Willie needs, Willie's got.
 * Anne: You don't know him. You've known him all these years and you don't really know him at all.
 * Jack: What about Adam?
 * Anne: Adam?
 * Jack: Well, you don't have to worry about him. If Adam finds out, it'll be easy to prove a Stanton is no different than anyone else. Just show him these. [He hands her evidence he uncovered about her uncle] Willie was right. Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption, even Judge Stanton. Show them to him, Anne. Change the picture of the world that Adam has in his head, just like our picture of it has been changed. Wipe out everything he's ever believed in, it'll be good for him. There's no god but Willie Stark. I'm his prophet and you're his... Anne, Anne, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Anne.

 * Tom: Now he needs us, now that he's in trouble, he needs us so he can lead us around like monkeys with rings in our nose so he can say to people, 'Look at me, feel sorry for me. Just a family man with a wife and a crippled son.'
 * Willie: Shut up!
 * Lucy: Willie!
 * Tom: Why don't you leave us alone?..
 * Willie: How many scrapes have I gotten him out of? How many girls?
 * Lucy: Willie, stop!
 * Willie: It's not him they're after, it's me. How many half-witted apes do you think I'm gonna have to pay to square this one? What do you think this is gonna cost me?
 * Lucy: What do you think it cost him?
 * Willie: A man builds for his son, that's all he builds for.
 * Lucy: Willie. [Willie takes a swig from a bourbon bottle handed to him by Jack.]

 * Anne: I tried to explain to him [Adam] that it wasn't the way he thought it was.
 * Jack: How was it, Anne? You tell me.
 * Anne: He hit me, Jack. My own brother, he hit me.
 * Jack: Your brother's an old-fashioned man. He believes in his sister's honor. Me, I'm a modern man, the 20th-century type, I run.
 * Anne: I'm frightened, Jack.
 * Jack: For who, your brother or Willie?
 * Anne: We're through.
 * Jack: Who's through with who?
 * Anne: He called me this afternoon. He's going back to Lucy. He said it was better this way.
 * Jack: Better for who, him?
 * Anne: Both of us.
 * Jack: Did he tell you that too when he asked you to betray the judge? At least I walked out on him.
 * Anne: Oh Jack, help me, please! Please! Adam's all I've got left now. Oh Jack, if you ever loved me.
 * Jack: If I ever loved you? I'll go find Adam.

 * Jack: Anne, where are you going?
 * Anne: I don't know. Leave me alone.
 * Jack: To do what?
 * Anne: I don't care.
 * Jack: No, that's too easy.
 * Anne: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!
 * Jack: I do.
 * Anne: Leave me alone, please.
 * Jack: No, no more.
 * Anne: He's dead.
 * Jack: We're alive.
 * Anne: My brother's dead.
 * Jack: We've got to go on living.
 * Anne: How?
 * Jack: So that Adam's death has meaning. So that it wasn't wasted. Anne, our life has to give his death meaning. Don't you see that? Look at those people. LOOK AT THEM! They still believe. And we've got to make them see Willie the way Adam always saw him or there's no meaning in anything, anything.

Not to be rude but the labeling is wrong. Who in the world put this together? It was so awfully disorganized that I didn't bother to read all of it. I apologize if this person is of a different ethnic culture and cannot adjust to English very well. But it's extremely irritating when someone messes up an article severly and it is hard to understand.

Editing things
I removed the summaries, and changed the format of the quotes to more like the Buffy one, because that was the first TV quotes page I could find that didn't say it needed cleanup. I also added another two quotes in Sands of Time.--Saetch 01:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

To people adding new quotes
Could you please do so in the correct format? Saetch 15:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Liner Notes
"If you love someone set them free If they come back they're yours if not, they never were?! (Quote JT)... if someone loves you don´t fuck up" Lost Dogs

(Vedder at Vote for Change concert in New Jersey before playing "Better Man" with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band)
 * Bruce asked me to sing this song, and since he's the boss, and I'm the employee here it is.

 * I don't need drugs to make my life tragic.

 * The love received is the love that is saved.

 * I think celebrities suck.

 * Caffeine. The gateway drug.

 * "I just think that all of us in this room should have a voice in how the USA is represented. And he don't allow us our voice, that's all I'm saying." Just before the band played The Clash's Know Your Rights.

 * It's an art to live with pain... mix the light into gray.

 * You know something? I've never dated. I never had time for that stuff. I really had an ongoing affair with my Telecaster, and that was pretty much it.

 * A very drunk Vedder in Australia 2003 before the band starts playing Last Kiss: "This next song is [long pause] is a song."

 * It's never good to be undecided. I'll give you a perfect example: the mullet. Do I want it short? Do I want it long? I just can't take a stand. I guess that explains why there are so many indecisive people in Canada. That's the only thing that looks bad about Canada these days.

 * We have to live up to the expectations of a million people. And we can't do that. [pause] And then, there's a cynical fucking media on top of that. Fuck them. Fuck that. They question your fucking honesty. They think it's all a fucking game. They don't know what's real. [pause] And when someone comes along who's trying to be real, they don't know the fucking difference.

 * In rock & roll, I should be able to do whatever I want -- run around with a dildo on my head.

 * It's so important - Every day we wake up, we're creating our memory. We have to create the best ones we can, even if for one day. Find your goals and take them one step at time. Your happiness and control form responsibility. It takes work and you MUST do things yourself. Don't expect anyone else to do it for you. Don't feel sorry for yourself. I've learned that about myself. I once thought I was under the lion's paw but when I decided to take on responsibility, I became much more free.

 * They call you guys Generation X [pause] That's bullshit. They should call you Generation Why... or maybe Generation ZZZ, 'cause you're falling asleep.

 * If little George Dubya Bush wins [the 2000 election] the band is applying for Canadian Citizenship.

 * You don't love me. You don't know me. You love who you think I am. If you knew me, you wouldn't love me. And don't try to pretend you know me, because I don't even know myself.

 * It doesn't feel like the United States of America these days... it just doesn't.

 * In America we like to have fun. Because we are an advanced culture... we live in a very advanced society and have a futuristic way of taking care of our population problem... we give each other guns and kill each other.

 * Worship the music not the musician.

 * You fuckin' cocksuckers... You fuckin' bitch... You fuckin'... You know we come up here as a collective band and we give and we give and you just fuckin' want more... And you know what - YOU DESERVE IT!... This is some kind of organized religion here... You see what's happening... You see... Be the third night in a row right?... Third night in a row this same thing's gone on... WELL FUCK YOU WE'RE GONNA PLAY IT! Oh tonight began with anything... How's that? shadows, light, a warm breath and a scream...

 * I got a letter from a woman recently that said 'Until you have a uterus I wish you'd keep your mouth shut on this issue.' If I agreed with that woman and said, 'Okay until I have a uterus I surrender, I'll stay out of this' and all the men agreed with that, then we wouldn't have an issue. Because the people heading this kind of radical right...we're talking about middle-aged, upper-class, white men. So if they get out of it, I'll get out of it. Sure. No problem.

 * I can remember vividly playing that song in a club in Hamburg on Jeff Ament's Birthday March 12, 1992. I think thats an interesting date because it's also the last time I took a shower. Keep grunge alive is my motto. Not the music, just the personal philosophy.

 * My mind is in these songs, but the fact that so many people relate to these songs is kind of depressing. Actually, now I understand those religious channels more. Everybody needs something.

 * Advice to the kids... Don't drink when you're sick... More advice: don't get sick when you drink.

 * Some people say I have a death wish. That's not true. I have a whole life wish.

 * "Eddie sucks!" said while the crowd was screaming his name.

 * Do you want a message?... Do you want a message?... Kill your local rapist [long pause] but torture him first... Then serve him to one of your enemies for dinner... I'll cook.

 * people like the deep roughness and shouting that me and other grunge singers use.

 * This is for all the fuck ups in the crowd. (Pinkpop, Holland, 2000 - before playing fuckin' up)

 * We'd like to thank [pause] uh [pause] We don't- [pause] uh [pause] We don't have to thank any sponsors [pause] There were no fuckin' sponsors...

 * So there's this big rumor around that we want to clear up right now... we're not from Seattle. I just had to say it because if someone else asks me about the 'Seattle scene' one more time, I think I'm gonna puke, piss and shit all at the same time.

 * How many records you sell doesn't change how you look at the music. Getting a gold record was cool for about two and a half minutes.

 * So, Mookie thinks there are a bunch of crazed white rock musicians following him around, making t-shirts and singing his praises (Stone)... He's frightened of us...he sits at home telling his wife 'why is this happening to me? What did I do?

 * We are on the brink of forever.

 * By the way... This isn't a 'fuck you' to the troops. One finger makes a big difference.

 * Those who dance are called insane by those who don't hear the music.

 * You can't save someone from drowning if you're treading water yourself.

 * How is life treating you? Better yet, how are you treating life?

 * It's the end of the world. It's happening right now... And I think we're okay with that.

 * The only fuckin' reason you guys chant my name is 'cause I'm the only guy in the band whose name has two syllables. We call Stone 'Stoney.' You could chant that... 'Stoney, Stoney!'

 * War doesn't determine who's right; it determines who's left.

 * Our band is like an old car, and this record [Pearl Jam] is our new engine.

 * If people don't like what I'm doing I really don't have time to hear it. I'm doing something good with my life and I challenge them to do the same.

 * Every time I see the Spice Girls, it makes me want to try to fly by climbing my roof and strapping bricks to my shoes.

 * These are the rich people, right?! They have all the luxuries, right?! Looks to me, they are the farthest from the stage, and they're behind a fuckin' window!

 * Behave like rock stars, not like the President.

 * In the middle of a song, Vedder gets interrupted and then says "There are these two girls flashing their tits, it's making it hard to concentrate."

 * Over the years, we've always been impressed by the Brazilian flags at our shows... it's fantastic to finally play for all Brazilians.

 * "We've got clouds and rain, just like in Seattle ... but Sao Paulo is better." - About the Brazilian city, São Paulo.

 * In the next time that we´ll play in Brazil, the world will be a better place 'cause George Bush won't be the president - Eddie Vedder in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

 * "Hello Brisbanians!!!" March 15, 1998, Entertainment Centre, Brisbane, Australia

 * “You know, punk bands now sell with one record -- their first or second record -- sell 10 times the amount of records than the Ramones did throughout their career with 20-something records. That's why I go over to Johnny Ramone's house and do yard work three times a week, just to absolve some of the guilt.”

 * "El vino aquí, es mas rico que la chucha" - 2013 Lollapaloza Chile ('The wine here, is fucking amazing'- Chilean wine)
