new quote
Id like to add this but i don't know from who it is: "It’s not arrogance when you know your opponent is talking shit."

Unsourced

 * An arrogant man is a weak man.
 * Anonymous

 * Boasting is not courage. He who boasts much cannot do much. Much gesticulation does not prove courage.
 * Anonymous

 * It's only arrogance if you're wrong.

 * With ignorance and arrogance, success is assured.
 * Mark Twain

Evident arrogance
I removed this recent addition as an arrogant assumption of notability of the statement by someone neither famous nor with any particular expertise on the subject, nor even a great deal of either wit or wisdom:

 * Atheists are arrogant? We’re not the ones saying the whole universe was created by a super being just for our benefit.
 * Graham Martin-Royale "Readers’ beefs of the day" (30 October 2014)

Many of the most obnoxiously stupid of atheists simply imply that such is the criteria for them believing there is any will at work in the cosmos beyond such petty little wills and comprehensions as they can understand and appreciate. I doubt if most theists of even the most naïve and isolated of viable traditions are so arrogant as to believe the cosmos exists solely for their benefit, and the wisest do not whine and complain and moan and mock because the All is not and can never be so puny a thing as to entirely subordinate itself to the shallow and vapid whims and wills and whimsy of those who actually expect the greatest entity or essence of all to be so petty as to exist to cater entirely to their petty little whims, notions, demands and expectations. The wisest of many theistic and atheistic traditions reject such nonsense for what it is, and reject the attributing of it to others falsely, and respect all the headway people can and do make against such ignorant and confused assumptions and assertions. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 21:38, 9 December 2014 (UTC) + tweaks
 * P.S. : To help clarify my own stance a bit, which I know confounds the expectations of many: I am a humble and bold agnostic gnostic absurdist universalist monist mystic. I know I don't know all that much, relative to all there IS to be known in the Cosmos, nor all that much that can be told even of that I DO know, but know enough to know not to presume I know what is best for others to believe or do or say, or not believe or do or say. I do believe ignorance as well as knowledge should be free to present itself, and silly and serious hopes and fears and rationality about them as well — and none of these absolutely constrained or controlled by the ignorant and confused wills of any other mortal minds. I believe in Justice, Unity, Liberty and Joyous Universal Love of ALL Awareness, Life and Love — and I know that most people don’t have very much of an idea of all that means. So it goes… ⨀∴☥☮♥∵ॐ … Blessings. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 23:44, 9 December 2014 (UTC) + tweaks

Hi. Thanks for your contribution to Arrogance for a quote by Nguyen Huy Dung. I could not find anything, however, to indicate that person's notability, and so I moved the quote to the talk page. If you wish to readd the quote because he is notable, please indicate in a brief comment where one can find more about him. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 14:13, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

El Goonish Shive

El Goonish Shive (EGS) is a webcomic that was started on January 21, 2002. It is written and drawn by Dan Shive. =General Quote= Elliot: Because it sounds like one big awkward moment.

Elliot said this when Tedd asked him why he passed the buck to Sarah on deciding whether to go to Grace's birthday party. Dan Shive has said that this sums up all of El Goonish Shive in one sentence.

 * (regarding Grace's Omega form) So...hot...
 * UGLY COUSIN! UGLY COUSIN!

 * IT'S HARD TO CALL IN SICK WHEN ALL YOU CAN SAY IS "MEOW"!!!

 * (After talking with everyone about the clone forms, and being scanned) Well...it's still pretty scary, but you guys all came out ok, and if I can "back myself up" I'm kinda out of excuses. But let's get one thing straight. Tedd: If you do ANYTHING with my form without my permission, I'll give you the hammering of a lifetime...with a real hammer!

 * That is not true! I do not rant wildly! If I rant, I do so with good reason! Like that time after I skipped lunch when they showed that movie on igneous rocks in chemistry class? I had every reason to rant! Why would you schedule such a boring movie right after a lunch period, and why would you show a movie about rocks in a chemistry class?! Maybe it had a point. I don’t know. I fell asleep. But still, it seemed really out of place to me. I think…

Hello dad...I might be sleeping over at a friend's house tonight. ...Uh, you've never met her, but her name is Susan, and there's a girl named Ellen here as well, along with Nanase. ...Yes, I am spending the night with three girls. No, I don't plan on sleeping with any of them. ...You know, most parents would be happy about their sons answering 'no' to that last question...

 * As lovely as it is to know that my friend is dating a violent thug, it'll take more than that little bit of sharing to get me to open up.

2004

 * This techno-babble-infested novel will serve me well.

2005

 * NO FAIR! I HAVE A HANDICAT!

2006

 * Nanase, don't take this the wrong way, but... HOW THE HELL ARE YOU NOT FAT?!

 * No worries! I-I'm not gonna die, cause I'm not the physical form of female variant #5 as it affected Elliot! I'M ELLEN, THE EVIL TWIN OF ELLIOT, AND I'M GONNA LIVE!!!

 * I also have the keys, Sherlock. In case you hadn't noticed, everything that was on you is now also on me! I'd be quite nude otherwise...

 * Go with you to what? Friends who don't know me? A family that won't love me? I don't have a home to go to, double, not with you around!

 * Am I supposed to be afraid? Sorry, but it's kind of hard to frighten the dead...

 * @#%$ logic. I'm a female bisexual duplicate of Elliot, and I can shoot green rays of light from my hands. And I'm fighting a blob of goop. Logic has nothing to do with any of this.

TC: Hey, could you suck on some lollipops in a suggestive manner?

Nioi: Mmm... so cute... I will call him Tedd-chan.

 * Liam: ENOUGH!
 * Liam: Ultimately, these reasons to distrust uryuoms are excuses. If they were not there, people would invent other ways to rationalize it.
 * Liam: The prejudice against uryuoms boils down to them originating from somewhere else, and being different.
 * Liam: They cannot use the same magic everyone else can, and we deny them the technology they could use to bridge the gap.
 * Liam: This limits their work options, and denies them conveniences others take for granted.
 * Liam: Prejudices are passed on, and those in power make scapegoats of them.
 * Liam: We created, and perpetuate, the situation they're in, and then judge them for not doing more.
 * Edward: You include yourself in that.
 * Liam (thinking): Is that... anger under his mask?
 * Liam: I am an advocate for change, but I cannot pretend I stand outside the system.
 * Liam: Especially not when I am as highly ranked in society as a griffin can be.

Elliot: I suppose it was foolish of us to try to capture goo using nets...

Tedd: Blasphemy! We just need larger nets!

Elliot: And you want me to convince Sarah to help get Grace some clothes of her own?

Tedd: I'd do it, but I have no fashion sense and I'm banned from that area of the mall.

(Elliot sees Tedd as a girl and his eyes bulge out)

Elliot: Ow...eyes just weren't meant to pop out like that...

Tedd: Yeah, that was creepy.

Elliot: OK, first of all, take your hand off my shoulder. Secondly, what are pheromones?

Tedd: Let me put it in simpler terms: You smell sexy.

Tedd: Well theoretically you should be bisexual in this form.

Elliot: What? I am not attracted to guys! I mean you're a guy and I'm not-

(Tedd removes his glasses)

*Shocked look*

Elliot: Put the glasses back on, keep them on, and let us never speak of this again....

Elliot:What, you know her somehow? Tedd:Elliot, she is my cousin. Elliot: NOOOOOOO!!! Wait, why should that bother me. Hehe... I made out with your cousin...

Tedd: Um, yay. Good for you.

2005
Elliot: DUDE, STOP SAYING "DUDE!"

Tedd:I'm pretty sure that "dude" joke's been done somewhere before.

Elliot: What joke? You were driving me nuts!

Elliot: Why would being female make you better at cooking?

Tedd: Because I'm hot.

Tedd (about the game Animal Crossing): Does it involve genetically engineering hybrid super animals?

Elliot: That's what I figured at first, too, but no.

Elliot: So, in other words, you're a big tease.

Tedd:  YES!!!

Elliot: Ask yourself, which is better: one girl in uniform, or two?

Tedd:...''Two! Two is better!''

Elliot: My first "girly thoughts" weren't that exaggarated!

Tedd: Yes they were- all I had to do to make you make you blush was take my glasses off!

Elliot: And how exactly is talking about it "never speaking of it again"?

2006
Tedd: The Big Deal is that he's the head of the student council for my school! He's heard of me, said I looked familiar, and he knows my full name!

Elliot: He knows your middle name is "Drew"?

Everyone: DREW?! Tedd: No, no he doesn't. Thank you, Elliot.

Elliot: Oops.

Ellen (glomping Elliot): Mommy!

Elliot (screaming): I'M TOO YOUNG AND TOO MALE TO BE THE MOTHER OF A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD FEMALE ME!!!

Ellen: I was only messing with ya...

Elliot: I knew that! Haha! haha...ha?

Ellen: (discussing her relationship to Elliot)Don't worry. Besides, I refuse to accept any theory that views me as Tedd's relative. He's far too cute for me to think of him as one. Elliot gets a rather shocked and disturbed look on his face) Oh, stop it. You thought he was cute too, 'ya know.

Elliot (shouting): (points at Ellen) YOU LIE!

Elliot: You know, technically, if you got into the closet with her [Nanase], that would suggest you'd be hiding your interest with girls as well.

Ellen: Given that I'd be in the closet with another girl, I don't think I'd be doing a very good job.

2007
(After getting done talking over the fact that Elliot disturbed a moment between Ellen and Nanase) Elliot: Anyway, girls hug all the time. They are more relaxed about that kind of thing. Ellen: So, what, you're suggesting that girls just casually cuddle and sleep together? Could you picture Sarah doing that with Grace? Elliot: Vividly. Ellen: Me too, but for all the wrong reasons.

Ellen: Nanase and I are a couple now! Be happy for us! Elliot: I wanna be but...Nanase doesn't want it to get back to her family that she's gay, and she only just realized she's a lesbian. Did she actually say she's ready to be in a relationship? (Ellen gets a shocked look on her face. A moment later, she is getting out of her chair.) Ellen: Excuse me. I need to find something heavy and blunt to kill you with.

2002
Tedd: Um, what are you wearing underneath that trench coat?

Grace: Well, nothing, but--

Tedd (dashes added): Welcome-to-the-wonderful-house-of-Tedd-Tedd's-house-is-your-house-please-feel-free-to-stay-as-long-as-you-like-and-let-it-be-known-if-you're-having-nightmares-it's-OK-for-you-to-sleep-in-my-bed-welcome!

Tedd: Elliot was acting pretty strange...maybe I should go find out why.

Grace (curling around Tedd): Stay.

Tedd:...That also works...

Grace: Oh no! I forgot to feed Jeremy?

Tedd: It happens.

2003
Grace: We have towels!

Tedd: Yes, towels for all!

Grace: Ellen got that outfit for me at the Promiscuous Maidens shop in the mall for dirt cheap!

Tedd: Really? That was nice of her.

Grace (in Tedd's body): Now, if we want people to believe that you're me, and I'm you, we'll need to act accordingly...

Tedd (in Grace's body): Piece of cake!

Elliot (outside): Hey, what's taking you guys so long down there? Hurry up already!

Tedd (still in Grace's body): GIVE US A FREAKING MINUTE, YOU DAMN DIRTY HARPIES!!!

Tedd (in Grace's body): Seumto vusp gonkelulyuri quoyuro acot cho locgleen (Uryumoco for "Change back temporarily while using the bathroom") Grace (in Tedd's body): I don't see why, but ok, Claire.

Grace (in Tedd's body): Hey, I ran into that Tony guy while in the bathroom. Tedd (in Grace's body): Tony?! Are you ok?! He didn't hurt you, did he?! Grace: Oh, I'm fine. I think he was distracted by his obvious attraction to you. (Tedd's eyes go wide) Why so shocked? You have a very pretty face.

2005
Grace: Welcome home, Tedd! Tedd: Grace! Y-you're in a cat form! But I thought you weren't transforming? Grace: Not on my own, but I thought you could use a kitty-hug, so I used the transformation gun!

Tedd: You're going to transform back to human form eventually, right? Grace: Meow. Tedd: I'll take that as a "yes". Grace: I'm sorry. You must think I'm weird. Tedd: ...mmmaybe just a little. Grace: When Damien killed all those people while freeing my brothers and me, I had the power to stop them, but I didn't. Then, last Saturday, I finally used that power, and I lost all control. I don't deserve to use my powers. If I have to in order to undo gun transformations, I will, but I'm not going to use them otherwise until I was feeling better about myself. Tedd: Grace... Grace: Let's just cuddle for now, ok? Tedd: ...ok.

2006
Tedd: ''Grace! Hi!'' I'm taking care of that thing of which I had previously mentioned!

Grace: Tedd, it's obvious that there is nothing that needs to be taken care of on this floor.

Tedd: There are things!

2002
Mr Verres: Tedd's either upstairs studying or downstairs working in that lab I gave him...

(BOOM!)

Tedd (off-panel): ''AAAA!!! MY EYES! MY BEAUTIFUL EYES!''

Elliot: Basement it is then.

Mr Verres: I must inform you that I will be going away on business for a few days.

Tedd: Really?

Mr Verres: Yes, and while I'm gone I want there to be no fooling around between you and Shade Tail!

Tedd: What? Are you talking about- Dad, we've never had-

Mr Verres: And nor should you! Fool around with her in her human form and she could get pregnant! That and you're too young for such-

Tedd: Wait, back up. Why specify her human form?

Mr Verres: Oh, well the scientists who made her were worried about what would result if she got pregnant while half-squirrel so they designed her so she couldn't get pregnant while transformed.

(pause)

STOP SMILING LIKE THAT!

Tedd: I'd like to, but I can't.

Elliot (in Mr. Verres's documents storage closet): Hell yeah! Area 51 fact sheets!

Mr. Verres: Forget you ever saw that!!!

Tedd: No way! Those are so going online later!

2003
Mr. Verres: So you see, my lad, the true moral behind the battle of Trenton is that if you party too hearty, George Washington will kick your ass. Any questions?

Tedd: Just one. WHAT DID ANY OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU SAYING "GRACE DIDN'T DIE IN THAT DIMENSION"?!

2007
Mr. Verres: Tedd, your height needs all the help it can get. Drink some milk.

Tedd: You're barely taller than me.

Mr. Verres: And that's saying something. Get drinking.

2003
Sarah: Hey, why are we weird looking? Did you forget to buy new pens?

Dan: No, but I'm trying out a new type of paper and I didn't want to draw anything too complex until I was certain the ink wouldn't run or anything weird like that.

Sarah: I guess that makes sense, but do we really need to be this deformed?

Dan: Of course! It's all part of my master plan, you see! First, I establish an alternative drawing style that's faster, and easier to draw! Then, if I need to throw together a quick filler, I can do so easily! In addition, the simple style of the drawings will hypnotise the readers into wanting to buy El Goonish Shive T-shirts, making me a millionaire, thus allowing the initiation of Phase II of my evil scheme! Phase II being, of course, the purchase of a new hat. Any questions?

Dan: Minion!

Minion: I prefer to be referred to as an 'administrative assistant', sir.

Dan: Really? Minions get paid more.

Minion: …Minion it is.

Dan: Plan B was to turn you into a hamster.

2005
Minion: This looks like it was lettered by a one-eyed monkey!

Dan: You could be more supportive than that.

Minion: OK, a two-eyed monkey.

Dan (in Retromud): Well, that was a lot of fun, but I think it's time I logged off. The lines of text are starting to blur together to form dirty limericks and communist propaganda.

Tanooki: I hate it when that happens.

Dan: We should play again sometime and liberate the working man from Nantucket! … or something less blurry vision induced.

Minion: So...what are you doing now?

Dan: Adjusting the image distance from the edge of the pages in "EGS: Volume 2".

Minion: By how much?

Dan: 21 pixels, or 3.5% of an inch. Helps keep comics out of the book spine.

Minion: Yeah, but 21 pix--

Dan: THE SPINE IS EVIL!

2006
Minion: Have you no shame?

Dan: Sha- what?

2002
Sarah: Do you know what time it is?

Elliot: Bikini time?

Sarah (with giant mallet): Time to die…

Elliot: Where the hell did that hammer come from?

Sarah: A-actually, I was thinking just the two of us would go to a movie, together...

Elliot: But then Tedd will get lonely! We really should include him.

Tedd: Could it be that Scrabble is the greatest game ever?

Elliot: Damn straight!

Sarah (entering): ALL RIGHT TEDD, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO GRACE?

Tedd: Dammit, don't you knock? What if I was naked?

Elliot: Why the hell would you be naked?

Tedd: I dunno. Strip Scrabble?

Elliot: Ew!

Sarah: COULD WE FOCUS PLEASE?

Sarah: Elliot, you've been avoiding me all day. why don't you want to talk to me?

Elliot:Well, it's complicated. I want to talk, but I find that I-- (bell rings) (very quickly, while running away) Oh ye gods I'm going to be late for study hall gotta go see you around 6:45 bye!

Sarah: Wow...if he's already acting this strange around me maybe it's a good thing he's totally clueless about me wanting to date him.

Tedd: Hello Sarah, what's happening. Yeah…Elliot's been turned into a girl and can't see you just now so if you could just come back some other time that would be great, m'kay?

Sarah:…What?

Elliot (upstairs): DAMN YOU TEDD! YOU MIGHT AS WELL LET HER COME UP HERE NOW!!!

Tedd: BUT I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT HER TO SEE YOU AS A WOMAN!

Sarah: You turned him into a girl? What's wrong with you?

Intercom: Tedd, please report to the principal's office.

Sarah: Um, shouldn't you be going to the principal's office?

Tedd: Nah, I bet they were calling for some other Tedd.

Intercom: There is no other Tedd. Now get your ass down here!!

Tedd: Dammit.

2003
Sarah: I bet Grace is excited about going to a movie theatre for her first time!

Elliot: Considering how excited she was over her first piece of toast, that's a pretty safe bet.

Sarah:Four soda ads, two ads for the military, half a dozen for heart surgeons, and three previews for movies that resort to the lowest common denominator for entertainment... when is the actual movie going to start?

Elliot: I don't know, Sarah... I just don't know...

2005
Sarah: They usually announce pep rally assemblies during the morning announcements for the Monday of the same week.

Susan: They do?

Sarah: Yes! Don't you listen to the morning announcements?

Tedd: We have morning announcements?

Sarah: What kind of a girlfriend are you?

Elliot: The guy kind?

(Scene: Susan has been transformed into a male, and has just come upstairs. Everyone is crowded around her. Justin, Tedd and Elliot are transformed into females.)

Sarah: ...Yowza.

Elliot: ...I'm standing right here?

Sarah: I'm sorry, Elliot, but look at him!

Elliot: ...Yeah, I guess he is hot.

Tedd: ...Um, Dude?

Elliot: What? I'm wearing a skirt, and I have boobs. I'm not going to start worrying about my manly image now!

2006
(In a transgender fantasy date sequence by Sarah)

Sarah: Would you like to come in for some... "coffee"? (finger quotes)

Elliot: Why yes! I would love to have some "coffee"! (finger quotes)

(Both Sarah and Elliot are transformed into the other gender, and have just attempted to kiss, but Elliot fell off the couch onto the floor.) Sarah: Elliot! Are you OK? Elliot: I don't think I like it rough... Sarah: Maybe we should use protection. Elliot: I-I wasn't thinking we'd go that far--! Sarah: I meant, like, helmets and elbow pads. Elliot: ...Oh! Right! Of course!

2002
Grace: Oh, hi! You must be Elliot!

Elliot: And you must be a robot, as there is no way a hot chick like you would be in Tedd's house!

Grace: What? I'm not a robot!

Elliot: Aw, man, I'm sorry…um, he didn't kidnap you, did he?

Grace: Tedd... After all I've seen, there is one question I must ask... DO YOU ENJOY PLAYING GOD?!

Tedd (playing computer game Black & White): Why, yes, yes I do.

Elliot: Hey, that village doesn't believe in you.

Grace: When do I get a turn?

Tedd: After I burn this village to the ground.

Elliot: So you want to protect people without resorting to violence...that's good, but there'still one more thing!

Grace: Really? Like what?

Elliot: Like why were you basically naked when you first came to this house?

(Sarah hits Elliot with a giant mallet)

Sarah: I know it was a legitimate question, but I didn't like his tone...

Elliot: So, what's the plan?

Grace: Alright, here we go. As you know, Tedd's father works for the government. I was able to get access to certain information as a result of that, and I have discovered an interesting little item that is being kept at the government's "Paranormal Things that are Probably of Little Use to Anyone Storage Facility", or PTTAPUTASF. There is an artifact kept at PTTAPUTASF called the Dewitchery Diamond that dates back to medieval times. The Dewitchery Diamond is said to be able to separate someone who has been cursed with another form from that curse and return them to normal; all you have to do is touch it. Now, this is such a low priority building that Tedd actually has the clearance necessary to get in thanks to his father, but you can't legally get in and he can't legally remove the diamond for you to touch. Fortunately, however, the facility is so low priority that there appears to be only one elderly guard who constantly guards the front of the building so once Tedd is inside he should be able to sneak you in through the back and get you to the diamond. There are only security cameras at the doors, which is good which means that you'll have to get in by a window because of this. Afterwards, you just have to get to the second floor, touch the diamond and get out. I'll stay back here for a number of reasons including but not limited to the facts that the less people sneaking in the better, if I'm caught they might take me in for testing or something, and someone has to feed Jeremy. Now PTTAPUTASF is a three-hour trip out of town by car so it's best you leave ASAP.

(pause)

Elliot: No seriously, what's the plan?

2003
Grace: (off panel) BAH!

Elliot: (in his mind) Za?

Grace: I got booted from the basement! (Grace sits on the couch) I can't believe I got kicked out of the basement because they had to take their clothes off.

Elliot: Grace, of all the things you could get mad about, opposition to casual nudity is your pet peeve? What's up with that? (Elliot Looks away) It's pretty reasonable that they would want some privacy. I mean, if you were them, wouldn't you want some?

Grace: (hands Elliot her shirt) Talk to the shirt.

2005
(Grace has literally kissed and made up to Sarah)

Sarah: ''BLEH! Grace, why did you do that?!''

Grace:: Tedd said you'd be as eager to kiss and make up as I was.

Sarah: HE DIDN'T MEAN THAT LITERALLY!

Tedd: (Pokes head in) Yeah, I did.

Sarah: With all the time it's taken for Susan to transform and get dressed up there, I could have just about grown my own-

Grace: (off panel) HEY EVERYONE! MAN-SUSAN'S UPSTAIRS!

Elliot: Oh thank God that last sentence got interrupted!

Nanase: Grace, can I transform next?

Grace: Sure. I just need to talk to Tedd first.

Tedd: Need to talk to Tedd? Are you sure you don't just...want to talk to Tedd? No good can come from needing to talk to Tedd...

2002
Dr. Germahn: Assistant, would you CENSORED my CENSORED with your CENSORED?

Amanda: Sure!

Dr. Germahn: Although some would call this experiment a failure, I can definitely see it as a success.

Elliot: Justin, entertain Sarah for a minute.

Justin: But what about my inner peace?

Elliot: None for you. Back soon, Sarah.

Sensei Greg: Nanase, no magic and stay above the belt!

Nanase: Damn.

Sensei Greg: Elliot, no summoning inner demons and stay away from her breasts!

Elliot: Damn.

Rat (going after female Elliot): Let me go, you jerk!

Matt: She's a man, you fool! A man!

Rat: Her chest says otherwise!

Sensei Greg: Are you from some other country or something?

Grace...Er, yes! I, uh, only recently moved to this country!

Sensei Greg:Neat! Which country are you from?

Grace: Wh-why? Do you want to see all the naked people?

Sensei Greg: Sadly no, for alas it is my greatest of shames as an anime martial arts master that I am not an old man or a pervert!

Elliot (to Ellen, when she believes she's his evil twin): Okay, first of all, you're not an evil twin, you're just overly stressed at the moment. Secondly, how could you frame me? We're not even the same sex!

Tedd: Yeah, and I doubt you can hide your breasts very well.

Ellen (staring at her chest): Ah yes. The Wonder Twins...they do complicate matters, don't they?

Elliot (about Ellen): You have to keep in mind that she is a woman and may consider tactics that we as men wouldn't think of.

Tedd: Like what?

Ellen (at gas station): Excuse me, I'm a little lost.... could you give me directions?

Ellen: This rug makes you look like Hitler!

Principal Verruckt: Huh?! It does?! Why didn't anybody tell me?! No wonder children would cry at the sight of me!

2003
Justin: (to Jeremy) Hehe.... You're a cute little monster cat, aren't ya?

Susan: Dammit, you're the one being nice to it, why isn't he on top of you?

Justin: You haven't dealt much with cats, have you? Cats instinctively prefer to be wherever they are least wanted. If you really want him to get off of you, just treat him as if you want him there.

Susan: Huh. Okay. Jeremy?

Jeremy: Mereow?

Susan: KITTY! (huge sappy grin on face, hearts everywhere)

(Jeremy runs away)

Susan: Yes! He ran away! Thank you Ju-- .... where did everybody go?

Susan: Naked Fridays? Yeesh. I'm sure your girlfriend would appreciate that idea.

Tedd: Actually, that was her idea. God, I love that woman…

Hedge: (thinking) Just who is Cat, and how does that green-haired girl know Uryuomoco?

Theater Clerk: Um, sir? Your popcorn is ready.

Hedge: Kick-ass.

Susan: Just a sec- I need to tell my mom that I'm home with people. (With a bullhorn): HEY MA! I'M HOME, AND I'VE GOT PEOPLE OVER, AND THEY MIGHT SPEND THE NIGHT!

Justin (cleaning out his ears): You don't have an intercom in a house this large?

Susan: We do, but for some reason we can only get Mexican radio through it.

Justin: How did you know I was gay?

Susan: I didn't.

Ellen (to Susan, who is spaced out): So, I was thinking I might dance naked in your backyard while burning your finest art and furniture.

Susan: Have fun.

Ellen (After several seconds): Women are only good for serving men, be it through cooking, cleaning, or physical pleasure!!!

Susan (Turning around, furious): HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!?!

Ellen: I had to snap you out of your stupour somehow.

Susan: I wasn't that out of it...'''

Nanase: As far as my mother is concerned, Ellen, you're a heterosexual who attends Catholic school.

Ellen: A naughty Catholic schoolgirl?

Nanase: No.

Nanase: Now that I've shared my horrible web of lies, perhaps Susan can explain why she's suddenly blonde?

Susan: What's to explain? My hair changed colour. It happens!

Nanase: Hair doesn't just spontaneously change colour!

Susan: I stand by my ridiculous claim.

Nanase: Can you order real food now?

Susan: You're mad, c'mon that was funny.

Nanase: I'm not mad, I'm just tired, and I'm hungry and--and you're blonde and you won't explain how or why! (she turns to Ellen) And I STILL don't know why you sleep so much!

Ellen: Well, I sleep so much because-- (Nanase turns to Justin)

Nanase: And you! (pause) Carry on.

Justin: You REALLY need to be fed.

Elliot: Hey, cool! I'm having a close encounter of the fifth kind!

William: Hey, cool! Some nerd is pointing at me!

William: I hate to get all technical on you again, but our species doesn't have men and women.

Gillian: We're all the same gender, we just dress up to fit in better.

(above Elliot's head): Attempting to process: *SYSTEM FAILURE*

Elliot: But... if you don't have genders.... then how.... and the eggs.... za?!

William: I think we blew his mind.

Gillian: Tedd would be proud.

William: Hmmm... Should we just tell him?

Gillian: Why wouldn't we tell him?

William: I'm not saying we shouldn't; I'm just asking if we should give a straightforward answer, or describe the events leading up to the answer in more detail than truly necessary.

Damien: You're horrible at lying.

Elliot: It's what I get for being the good guy.

Guineas: Squee snort squa squee!

Hedge: Who is "Timmy" and how did he wind up down a well?

Grace (about the Uryuom suit): Its amazing! It's obviously on tight, but it feels like I'm just in my underwear!

Ellen: It's almost sensual…

Nanase: OK, NO NEED TO TALK ABOUT THAT! WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO, DAMMIT!

2004
Ellen (at the comic shop): Should we be disturbed by the fact that Nanase is sleeping on herself?

Justin: Nah.

Hedge: Alright, what the hell is going on here? What was that loud noise earlier? Where is Damien?

Elliot: And who are you?

Nioi: Well, let's see... That "loud noise" was Damien blowing himself up, so that also explains where he is. And I'm Nioi.

Uryuom commando: Incidentally, we got called out here after Tedd finally got in contact with his dad, which explains why we showed up!

Female commando: Why did you just say that?

Uryuom commando: It felt necessary for some reason.

2005
Grace: So, um, Vladia… still female, huh?

Vladia (holding her big breasts): Gee, what tipped you off, Professor?

Hedge: GAH!

Susan: I figured I should keep a log tonight; keep track of all the just wonderful thoughts I'm likely to have while male. I figure it's a good way to determine if men are naturally as messed up as I've been led to believe.

Elliot: Oh, well, be sure to make note of all your thoughts about sports, booze, video games, lying for sex, violence, crudeness, and the overall sexist attitude you'll naturally have all on account of being a guy for one night.

Susan:...You're offended?

Elliot: Little bit.

Susan: I thought Tedd was with you.

Elliot: He said something about his "Tedd senses tingling" and ran off.

(NB: Tedd had just raced upstairs to see Grace kiss Sarah.)

Justin: What the heck did you whisper to her? (Nanase.)

Ellen: Um, a dirty limerick?

Tedd:So... you're saying I don't have to worry about guys having the hots for me?

Jusin:I wouldn't think gay guys, no.

Tedd:That's awesome! I--wait, why did you specify "gay" guys?

Justin:No reason.

Justin (transformed into a girl): I...I was just wondering if you think boys like, um, Elliot, would find me attractive?

Grace: Hm...well, I'm no expert, but you've got large breasts! I've heard that's a plus!

Sarah: Aren't I cute when I'm helpful?

Susan(as a man): Foul, FOUL!

Demonic Duck: At least this party's got some hot chicks.... even if they're not supposed to be chicks...

Justin: Why would you be interested in humans? Shouldn't you be attracted to ducks?

Demonic Duck: Gee, I don't know. Shouldn't you be attracted to women?

Justin: Touché.

2006
Justin: I think the duck might have been hitting on me.

(significant pause)

Nanase: You gonna go for it?

(Scene: At the party, a pizza guy overhears transformed Nanase and Susan arguing over the appopriateness of skirts. Tedd says they're rehearsing a play.)

Pizza Guy: A play?

Tedd: Yes, a play!

Pizza Guy:About two guys fighting over skirts?

Tedd: Yes...no! They're staying true to the play's Shakespearian roots by having men play female roles!

Ellen Well it's just...The idea is so out there.

Sarah Who cares? Look at us! We've got an alien hybrid, two magic users, a mad scientist and we're all the opposite sex for a party!

Ted: What were you doing downstairs?

Susan: Logging stuff.

Justin: Providing logging material.

2007
Male CSI Agent: Damn. We haven't found anything out here.

Female CSI Agent: I feel inadequate.

Cast survey in filler

"Would you go on a date with Ellen?"

Sarah: Well, yes! I mean, no! Wait, are we talking about Elliot as a woman, or the "new Ellen"?

Tedd: Well, maybe if we ignore Grace, which I can't do, so no.

Grace: Could I bring Tedd? Oh, it's that sort of a date. I'm sorry, no...

Elliot: Um, ew?

Justin: Of course I would! Wait, you did say "Elliot", right?

Nanase: Did Justin put you up to this?

Susan: I dunno.... Unfortunately, I'm straight normally so I don't know if it'd be worth my while... so no.

Gregg: Ok, she's HOW many years younger than me? I don't think so!

Theatre Clerk: Hell yeah I'd go on a date with her! Heck, hook Da Playah up with all these lovely ladies! Woo! '' Ellen: Oh well, nobody was interested. Let's go get dinner or something.

Dan: But didn't-

Ellen: Yee-yup. Not a one.

Sarah (about being transformed):What if something goes wrong? What if I get stuck in some other form?! This whole thing is scary! Weren't you all scared about being "zapped" at first?

Tedd: Heck no!

Ellen: No.

Grace: I jumped in head first.

Elliot: Well...

Justin: Not about that, no.

Nanase: Probably should've been...

Susan: No, not really.

Jeremy: Mereow?

Demon Duck: Sounds kinda cool.

Ken Livingstone

Kenneth Robert Livingstone (born 17 June 1945) is an English politician who served as the Leader of the Greater London Council (GLC) from 1981 until the council was abolished in 1986, and as Mayor of London from the creation of the office in 2000 until 2008. He also served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Brent East from 1987 to 2001. A former member of the Labour Party, he was on the party's hard left, ideologically identifying as a socialist.

1970s

 * You cannot just have a socialist revolution in Norwood and nowhere else.
 * Statement to the South London Press in 1977 on moving constituencies away from Norwood in the 1977 GLC election. Quoted in Citizen Ken (1984) by John Carvel, p. 61.

 * There is now a desperate need for a London-wide left caucus of those interested in the GLC and local councils so that we can compare and discuss what is happening in each borough.
 * As quoted in Socialist Organiser, the newspaper of the Socialist Campaign for a Labour Victory (March 1979).

 * I feel a degree of regret that Marshall did not push on and say 'Abolish the GLC', because I think it would be a major saving and would have released massive resources for more productive use.
 * In a GLC debate on the Marshall Report into GLC powers, 1979, quoted in "Beyond Our Ken" (1985) by Andrew Forrester, Stewart Lansley and Robin Pauley, p. 43

1981

 * The H-block protest is part of the struggle to bring about a free, united Ireland. They have my support, and they have the support of the majority of the Labour Party rank and file. I have been consistently in favour of withdrawal from Ireland and to get away from the idea that it is some sort of campaign against terrorism. It is in fact the last colonial war.
 * Evening Standard (21 July 1981).

 * I can't think of a more appalling contrast between this wedding beanfeast and what is happening in Ireland.
 * Referring to the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer, in Daily Mail (29 July 1981).

 * Everyone is bisexual. Almost everyone has the sexual potential for anything.
 * Speech to Harrow Gay Unity Group (18 August 1981).

 * Nobody supports what happened last Saturday in London. But what about stopping it happening? As long as we are in Ireland, people will be letting off bombs in London. I can see that we are a colonial power holding down a colony. For the rest of the time violence will recur again and again as long as we are in Ireland. People in Northern Ireland see themselves as subject peoples. If they were just criminals or psychopaths they could be crushed. But they have a motive force which they think is good.
 * Referring to the IRA's Chelsea Barracks bomb of 10 October 1981, in a speech to the Cambridge University Tory Reform Group (12 October 1981), quoted in The Times (13 October 1981).

1983

 * What Britain has done for the Irish nation is, although is spread over 800 years, worse than what Hitler did to the Jews. The difference is that one was compacted into a short period of time
 * Comments on Irish Radio, Dublin cited in "Livingstone and Irish Holocaust" The Guardian (27 August 1983) p. 1

1984

 * He asked to see me again. I think he wants me for my body.
 * Remarks to the press after meeting Secretary of State for Transport Norman Fowler (18 June 1981), quoted in Citizen Ken (1984) by John Carvel, p. 107.

1985

 * The next election will bring an influx of over 120 new MPs who will be overwhelmingly on the Left.
 * The Guardian (23 September 1985).

 * There are other people whose fear is if you bring down South Africa there will be a communist regime takeover - and that's a risk I'm prepared to see. I would much rather see South Africa under a communist regime than under the present one if that's the choice I'm faced with.
 * The Times (11 December 1985, as quoted by Bernard Levin).

1986

 * I take a much more pragmatic view than many people on the Left about working with Neil Kinnock. Kinnock represents the best vehicle possible for achieving socialism now.
 * Ham and High (21 February, 1986).

 * Nothing could have been greater than the pride of serving this city. I do not believe — I am sure I speak for my colleagues on all sides — nothing else that happens to us in our lives will be as rewarding and fulfilling as the years that we have spent in this building.
 * Speech at the last meeting of the Greater London Council (27 March 1986); quoted in "GLC : The Inside Story" (1999) by Wes Whitehouse, p. 174

 * What a squalid and irresponsible little profession it is. Nothing prepares you for how bad Fleet Street really is until it craps on you from a great height.
 * City Limits (1 May 1986), quoted in The New Penguin Dictionary of Modern Quotations'' by Robert Andrews

 * The British judiciary is one of the most corrupt in the world because of politically active judges.
 * The Daily Telegraph (17 May, 1986).

1987

 * If Voting Changed Anything They'd Abolish It
 * Title of his autobiography (1987)
 * A variant of a slightly earlier quote: "If voting could change anything, it would be illegal" (1978)

 * I'm not in favour of the army, I'm in favour of replacing it with armed workers' brigades to defend the factories.
 * Quoted in Conservative Party Election Broadcast, 19 May 1987

2000

 * I urge everybody to stay inside the Labour Party and fight to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. There must now be a serious question over whether Frank can hope to beat Steven Norris on May 4 when Londoners will widely perceive the Labour nomination to have been stolen. The lesson of Wales is that our voters will not be taken for granted. A Labour campaign that was dead in the water from day one will limp on to polling day and never allow us to get on to the real issues that matter to Londoners, such as transport, unemployment and crime. In the interests of uniting the Labour party, I hope Frank Dobson will consider his position over the next few days. He must decide whether he is willing to accept this tainted result or stand down in the interests of Labour and London. Over the last six months Londoners have had to listen to politicians. Now it is time for politicians to listen to Londoners, and I shall be saying nothing further until I have had a chance to listen to Londoners.
 * Statement following the London Labour Party ballot for a Mayoral candidate, in which Livingstone was defeated by Frank Dobson due to the electoral system chosen by the party, as quoted in "Winner is challenged to refuse `tainted' victory" in The Guardian (21 February 2000), p. 2.

 * The IMF and World Bank are still appalling, and now the World Trade Organisation too. All over the world people die unnecessarily because of the international financial system. Every year the international financial system kills more people than World War II. But at least Hitler was mad.
 * NME 15 April 2000.

 * As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted 14 years ago...
 * Victory speech on being elected first Mayor of London, 14 years after the abolition of the Greater London Council, of which he was leader. The Independent Friday 5 May 2000.

2001

 * Only some ghastly dehumanised moron would want to get rid of the Routemaster.
 * Said in 2001. Four years later the Routemaster bus was withdrawn from ordinary passenger service by Transport for London, a decision supported by Livingstone. Quoted in "Livingstone and the 'morons' have killed off the Routemaster" by Philip Johnston in Daily Telegraph (24 October 2005).

2003

 * George Bush is just about everything that is repellent in politics... You have got this super-patriotic hawk who was a coward when his country was actually involved in a war and has the most venal and corrupt administration since President Harding in the 20s. He is not a legitimate president... This really is a completely unsupportable government and I look forward to it being overthrown as much as I looked forward to Saddam Hussein being overthrown.
 * Remarks at a public meeting criticising George W. Bush (8 May 2003), as quoted in "Mayor's Amazing Attack on Bush" by Ross Lydall in the Evening Standard (8 May 2003).

 * Some US journalist came up to me and said: 'How can you say this about President Bush?' Well, I think what I said then was quite mild. I actually think that Bush is the greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen. The policies he is initiating will doom us to extinction.
 * As quoted in "Livingstone says Bush is 'greatest threat to life on planet'" by Nigel Morris, in The Independent (18 November 2003), p. 5.

 * The American agenda is sweeping everything before it, and although it's not perfect, the EU is better on environmental issues. It's a less rapacious form of capitalism.
 * As quoted in "Livingstone says Bush is `greatest threat to life on planet'" by Nigel Morris, in The Independent (18 November 2003), p. 5.

2004

 * I just long for the day I wake up and find that the Saudi royal family are swinging from lampposts and that they've got a proper government that represents the people of Saudi Arabia.
 * As quoted in "New Labour, new Ken? Think again as Mayor speaks" by Joe Murphy in Evening Standard (8 April 2004), p. 19.
 * Interview with The Guardian (7 April 2004).

 * When you see someone trying to manoeuvre it round the school gates you have to think, you are a complete idiot.
 * Criticising Londoners who drive 4x4s in an interview with GMTV (broadcast 23 May 2004), as quoted in "Drivers of 4X4s in London are idiots, says Livingstone" by Ross Lydall in Evening Standard (21 May 2004).

Oliver Feingold controversy

 * Oliver Finegold: Mr Livingstone, Evening Standard. How did it ... Ken Livingstone: Oh, how awful for you. Finegold: How did tonight go? Livingstone: Have you thought of having treatment? Finegold: How did tonight go? Livingstone: Have you thought of having treatment? Finegold: Was it a good party? What does it mean for you? Livingstone: What did you do before? Were you a German war criminal? Finegold: No, I'm Jewish. I wasn't a German war criminal. Livingstone: Ah … right. Finegold: I'm actually quite offended by that. So, how did tonight go? Livingstone: Well you might be, but actually you are just like a concentration camp guard. You're just doing it 'cause you're paid to, aren't you? Finegold: Great. I've you on record for that. So how did tonight go? Livingstone: It's nothing to do with you because your paper is a load of scumbags. Finegold: "How did tonight go?" Livingstone: It's reactionary bigots ... Finegold: I'm a journalist. I'm doing my job. Livingstone: … and who supported fascism. Finegold: I'm only asking for a simple comment. I'm only asking for a comment. Livingstone: Well, work for a paper that isn't ... Finegold: I'm only asking for a comment. Livingstone: … that had a record of supporting fascism. Finegold: You've accused me ...
 * Exchange with Evening Standard reporter Oliver Finegold (8 February 2005). These remarks led to an official investigation into Livingstone's conduct. Transcript from Guardian Unlimited

 * It may very well be offensive, and that is a matter of personal judgment, but it was not racist. I have been through several media firestorms and I have taken the view that if I made a mistake I apologise. But I am not going to apologise if I don't think I have done anything wrong. It would be easy to buy off media pressure by lying but I am not going to do it.
 * When reporters say to me I'm only doing this because it's my job... that's the same abdication of moral responsibility at the thin end of the wedge that in its most extreme and horrific version ends up with others being prepared to stand as a concentration camp guard. You are responsible for your own choices in this life. I have always been, so are reporters.
 * Cited by Hugh Muir "Livingstone isolated after refusal to back down in Nazi jibe row" The Guardian (16 February 2005), p. 2.

 * Racism is a uniquely reactionary ideology, used to justify the greatest crimes in history — the slave trade, the extermination of all original inhabitants of the Caribbean, the elimination of every native inhabitant of Tasmania, apartheid. The Holocaust was the ultimate, "industrialised" expression of racist barbarity. Racism serves as the cutting edge of the most reactionary movements. An ideology that starts by declaring one human being inferior to another is the slope whose end is at Auschwitz. That is why I detest racism.
 * Commentary in The Guardian (4 March 2005).

 * To avoid manufactured misunderstandings, the policies of Israeli governments are not analogous to Nazism. They do not aim at the systematic extermination of the Palestinian people, in the way Nazism sought the annihilation of the Jews.
 * Commentary in The Guardian (4 March 2005).

 * Today the Israeli government continues seizures of Palestinian land for settlements, military incursions into surrounding countries and denial of the right of Palestinians expelled by terror to return. Ariel Sharon, Israel's prime minister, is a war criminal who should be in prison, not in office. Israel's own Kahan commission found that Sharon shared responsibility for the Sabra and Shatila massacres.
 * Commentary in The Guardian (4 March 2005).

 * All racist and anti-semitic attacks must be stamped out. However, the reality is that the great bulk of racist attacks in Europe today are on black people, Asians and Muslims — and they are the primary targets of the extreme right. For 20 years Israeli governments have attempted to portray anyone who forcefully criticises the policies of Israel as anti-semitic. The truth is the opposite: the same universal human values that recognise the Holocaust as the greatest racist crime of the 20th century require condemnation of the policies of successive Israeli governments — not on the absurd grounds that they are Nazi or equivalent to the Holocaust, but because ethnic cleansing, discrimination and terror are immoral. They are also fuelling anger and violence across the world. For a mayor of London not to speak out against such injustice would not only be wrong — but would also ignore the threat it poses to the security of all Londoners.
 * Commentary in The Guardian (4 March 2005).

 * You can't expect to work for the Daily Mail group and have the rest of society treat with you respect as a useful member of society, because you are not.
 * Remarks concerning Oliver Finegold, Evening Standard journalist. in Guardian Unlimited (13 December 2005)

Response to London bombings (7 July 2005)

 * I want to say one thing specifically to the world today. This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful. It was not aimed at presidents or prime ministers. It was aimed at ordinary, working-class Londoners — black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Jew, young and old — indiscriminate attempt to slaughter, irrespective of any considerations for age, for caste, for religion or whatever. That isn't an ideology, it isn't even a perverted faith, it is just indiscriminate attempt at mass murder — and we know what the objective is. They seek to divide Londoners. They seek to turn Londoners against each other.

 * Finally, I wish to speak, through you, directly to those who came to London today to take life. I know that you personally do not fear to give your own life in exchange for taking others — that is why you are so dangerous. But I know you do fear that you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society, and I can show you why you will fail. In the days that follow look at our airports, look at our sea ports and look at our railway stations, and even after your cowardly attack, you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners and to fulfill their dreams and achieve their potential. They choose to come to London, as so many have come before because they come to be free, they come to live the life they choose, they come to be able to be themselves. They flee you because you tell them how they should live. They don't want that and nothing you do, however many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our cities where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another. Whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail.

Press conference (8 July 2005)

 * In this city 300 languages are spoken and the people that speak them live side by side in harmony. This city typifies what I believe is the future of the human race and a future where we grow together and we share and we learn from each other.

 * I want finally to thank Londoners for their solidarity. There are some places in the world where such an incident would have unleashed internal strife and physical violence. London has stood together, we haven’t had any problems of the sort you might see in other parts of the world and I think it says everything about what is right about this city.

 * If you go back a couple of hundred years to when the European cities really started to grow and peasants left the land to seek their future in the cities there was a saying that “city air makes you free” and the people who have come to London all races, creeds and colours have come for that. This is a city that you can be yourself as long as you don’t harm anyone else. You can live your life as you chose to do rather than as somebody else tells you to do. It is a city in which you can achieve your potential. That, I think, is our strength and that is what the bombers seek to destroy. They fear that freedom, they fear a world in which the individual makes their own life choices and their own moral value judgements and that is what they seek to snuff out. But they will fail.

2006

 * Perhaps if they're not happy here they can go back to Iran and try their luck with ayatollahs, if they don't like the planning regime or my approach.
 * Remarks at press conference, 21 March 2006, criticising the businessmen David and Simon Reuben who were obstructing land acquisition for the 2012 Olympics. The Reuben brothers were in fact born in India, to parents of an Iraqi Jewish heritage. Quoted in "Gaffe lands Livingstone back in trouble" by Jill Sherman in The Times (22 March 2006).

 * It would actually be quite nice if the American ambassador in Britain could pay the charge that everybody else is paying and not actually try and skive out of it like some chiselling little crook.
 * While being interviewed in the street during his dispute with several embassies for not paying Central London's congestion charge (late March 2006). The Times'' (28 March 2006). [The New York Times comment, 2 May 2006.]|undefined

 * One thing that Chairman Mao did was to end the appalling foot binding of women. That alone justifies the Mao Tse-tung era.
 * As cited in "They said what?", The Observer (21 May 2006).

2007–2009

 * To take such generous contracts and screw them up so dramatically must suggest that these are the most probably the worst business people ever assembled in one place to run anything. … the civil servants were taken to the cleaners and on the face of it you still end up with a £750 million overspend based on your mismanagement of them. I think they should be sacked, hung drawn and quartered, thrown out of the country and the whole thing (the London Underground) returned to public ownership. I saw that they (Metronet management) wanted to talk to the Mayor about this — wasting their breath sunshine! — they can go out and raise the money amongst their shareholders who came here to get their snout in the trough — they screwed it up; they are not getting any of our money!
 * Remarks made regarding the management of Metronet and the PPP of the London Underground during a Mayor's press conference (13 March 2007)

 * I think Londoners find it bizarre that ten weeks after the allegations in the Evening Standard, you haven't questioned Lee [Jasper]. All these questions about Lee — he can come down from his office now and answer them, and you sanctimonious hypocrites are dragging this out so the lies can carry on in the Standard, you're not talking about Lee coming here 'till March. Bring him here today. Ask him your questions. Let Londoners see the answers. You're dragging this out for electoral purposes. Sanctimonious hypocrites, every one of you.
 * Remarks at the London Assembly meeting, criticising the Assembly's approach to allegations against Mayoral adviser Lee Jasper (13 February 2008)

 * I am not in favour of any parental choice in education. You will go to your local school.
 * Interview, 18 March 2009

2016

 * When Hitler won his election in 1932 his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews.
 * Comments during BBC Radio London interview cited in "Jeremy Corbyn denies crisis as Ken Livingstone suspended" BBC News (28 April 2016). This assertion, which led to Livingstone's suspension, is not supported by historians.

2017

 * One of the things that Chávez did when he came to power, he didn’t kill all the oligarchs. There was about 200 families who controlled about 80% of the wealth in Venezuela. He allowed them to live, to carry on. I suspect a lot of them are using their power and control over imports and exports to make it difficult and to undermine Maduro.
 * Comments made to Talk Radio cited in "Ken Livingstone: Venezuela crisis due to Chávez's failure to kill oligarchs" The Guardian (3 August 2017). He later clarified that he is "not in favour of killing anyone."

Quotes about Livingstone

 * In alphabetical order b author or source.

 * Ken is the man that we all need Ken is the leader of the GLC!
 * We look to the left and to the right And we need help but nobody's in sight Where is the man that we all need Tell him he's to come and rescue me.
 * Kate Bush in the song Ken written for an episode of the British comedy series The Comic Strip Presents... "GLC: The Carnage Continues..." (1990)

I saw it differently then. And I do now. Livingstone shouldn't have been the Labour candidate for anything and it was worth losing, and enduring the political attacks, to assert that.
 * [The former Labour Party general secretary, Margaret McDonagh had died a few days before] Take her most controversial political battle. She helped exclude Ken Livingstone from the Labour candidacy for London mayor in 2000. As general secretary she took most of the blame for it. He won as an independent and she was accused of being "a control freak". At the time this was seen as a grotesque political error.
 * Daniel Finkelstein "She was my political rival but a force for good" The Times (27 June 2023)

 * First of all, I've never heard of the fellow. Second, I'm not going to dignify it with a response.
 * Ari Fleischer, White House Press Secretary, in response to questions about Livingstone's comments of 8 May 2003 about the Bush administration.

 * "One day the world will know that #RedKen was right".
 * Nick Griffin, tweet as cited in "Nick Griffin appears to back Ken Livingstone over controversial Hitler comments", Evening Standard (30 April 2016)
 * On Livingstone's claims about Adolf Hitler and Zionism. Griffin is the former chairman and president of the British National Party, a far-right organisation.

The Livingstone Formulation is named after Ken Livingstone. ... [It] conflates anything allegedly antisemitic, in this case repeatedly insulting a Jewish reporter by comparing him to a Nazi, into the category of legitimate criticism of Israel. Secondly, '''it goes further than accusing people who raise the issue of antisemitism of being wrong; it accuses them of being wrong on purpose; of crying wolf, of playing the antisemitism card. It alleges an intent, often a collective intent and so a conspiracy, to mobilise Jewish victim-power for illegitimate purposes.'''
 * Today Livingstone said that Hitler supported Zionism. Most people know that Zionism was in fact a response to antisemitism; most people know that Hitler wasn't in the business of responding to antisemitism but was himself the greatest antisemite of all time. Livingstone smears Jews, at least those who refuse to identify as anti-Zionist, by saying that they're like Nazis. He encourages people on the left and in the student movement to relate to Jews as though they were Nazis; unless they disavow Israel. Antisemitism? No, not at all. Just criticism. ...
 * David Hirsh "Livingstone Formulation fails to rescue Ken" The Jewish Chronicle (28 April 2016)
 * Hirsh's reference to Livingstone "repeatedly insulting a Jewish reporter" is the Oliver Feingold incident detailed above.

 * When the Labour Herald printed a foully anti-semitic cartoon Mr Kenneth Livingstone, boss of the GLC, not only defended its publication, but said that the only thing he regretted about it was that it did not go far enough.
 * Bernard Levin, after the GLC allowed a Soviet propaganda exhibition to be held at the Royal Festival Hall in London in February 1983, as quoted in The Times.

 * You're a disgusting racist, you're rewriting history. A Nazi apologist. A Nazi apologist. You're a disgusting Nazi apologist, Livingstone.
 * John Mann confronting Livingstone over his Hitler and Zionism comments, as reproduced at WATCH: Ken Confronted By MP While Live On LBC" LBC News (28 April 2016). Mann was told by Labour's Chief Whip that it was "completely inappropriate" for the party's MPs to conduct such public rows in this manner.
 * I think you've lost it, Mr Livingstone ... What are you on at the moment? You certainly shouldn't be on Labour’s national executive.
 * John Mann on BBC Politics cited in "Ken Livingstone suspended from Labour after Hitler remarks". The Guardian (28 April 2016)

 * He has every right to his own view but not to express it when he is mayor of this city.
 * Conservative mayoral candidate Steven Norris after Livingstone's criticisms of the administration of US President George W. Bush.

 * I know one thing... Ken Livingstone is a folk hero.
 * Kevin Rowland of Dexys Midnight Runners in the song Reminisce, Part One.

Misattributed

 * [Pigeons are] rats with wings.
 * Although Ken Livingstone has used this phrase on many occasions (including at the Greater London Authority 'People's Question Time' on 24 October 2000: see Hugh Muir, "Ken vows no surrender in tube funding battle", Evening Standard, October 25, 2000, p. 6), the phrase is not original. The screenplay for Stardust Memories, a 1980 film written and directed by Woody Allen, includes the following: Sandy Bates: What was that? What was that? Dorrie: Hey, that's so pretty. A pigeon! Sandy Bates: Geez … no, it's not pretty at all. They're... they're... they're rats with wings.

Thanks for your work on Martin Luther. I added a link to what seems like a credible translation of "On the Jews and Their Lies". Unfortunately, it is not well divided so I could not make the references more specific -- but they are exact quotations from the work. If you know how I could get an original version of the German text online, I could work with German-knowing friends to source the german quotes and give exact numbers. Thanks for your help ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:54, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Re: Martin Luther quotes
''Dear Moshe: Thanks for the note! As a librarian and a Luther scholar, I'm a little touchy about copyright. Most verbatim copies on the internet are from the American Edition of Luther's Works are are there against the will of the publisher. I know, because I asked them for their permission to put the work on the internet through Project Wittenberg. While we don't like works written by the reformer in his anger ("On the Jews and Their Lies" is the most infamous, having been misused by Hitler, other works are also not particularly inviting (such as "Against the Robbing, Raping, Murdering Hordes of Peasants." ), we would put it on for accuracy. We wish he had risen above his times in this matter, but he did not. I have access to the German, but I have not found an english edition in the public domain.''

''Sorry I ramble. Anyway, if you're near a fairly sizeable city, I can locate a copy you can borrow from a Library, if you really want to read this thing. Email me at smithre@ctsfw.edu and I'll tickle the keyboard for you. Since all manner of things have been put in famous people's mouths, however, I think we should shy away from unattributed quotes. (Can't tell you how many hours I've spent tracking supposed quotes from Luther.)''

Bob Smith--CTSWyneken 01:20, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your message! I am sorry to hear there is no English version in the public domain. It would be nice to find a reference to a German edition, and even nicer to find a German edition in an electronic format (such a thing I could put through babelfish for a first-pass translation to find the quotes I'm interested in and translate them with a human). As a wikiquote editor, I can certainly appreciate the effort going to sourcing a quotation -- finding the source for "Kill them all, let God sort out the bodies" was a joint effort by Jeff, two friends of mine and me, and finding the source for a De Vinci misquotation was half an hour of tracking sources.

 * Please note that in wikiquote slang, "attributed" means "put in someone's mouth" (as opposed to "Sourced", which is a quotation for which we have exact references), whereas "unattributed" means "nobody but wikiquote thinks the person said such a thing" (which is something that shouldn't be). I agree attributed quotes are problematic - I hope that the effort we do into seperating them from sourced quotes and the efforts we do to source the quotes improve things, but I doubt things will improve if we just removed the attributed quotes altogether.

 * I will send you an e-mail with more information. Thanks! ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:25, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * PS: You put your message to me on my user page, rather than in my talk page. Unfortunately, that is an easy error to make (I made it myself once or twice). A user page is a bad place to put messages for several reasons, so please pay more attention to it in the future. You can go directly to my talk page if you follow the "(Talk)" link in my signature rather than the "MosheZadka" link. If you know all this, and this was just an oversight, I apologize for the rant. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:25, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Dear Moshe: Were you able to snag a copy of "On the Jews..."

''I appreciate the info about how "Attributed" is understood here. With Luther especially I tend to be very careful. I need to be shown where Luther said something before I'll grant he said it. Part of that is receiving a few requests a month for locations of Luther quotes I almost never find. The ones from "On the Jews..." can be quite difficult since it was one very large rambling book that most Lutherans wish had never been written. The quotations on our page are of the nature of some of the language in that work, but I cannot be certain at all they are Luther's actual words. They certainly are not among his most famous, or infamous, quotations. (like "Kill, stab and murder Pope and Turk.")''

''To illustrate the problem: Luther's most famous words: "Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God, Amen!" Were almost universally recognized as his until in recent years someone pointed out that no one could produce the words in accounts written during Luther's lifetime....''

So, I tend to go with the more conventional definition of attributed: popularly credited to an author where there is no evidence the person ever wrote or said the words.

Did you want to find some kind of third catagory to use to distinguish between things virtually everybody is sure he didn't say and those that we just have no verified source to confirm it?

 * I believe you may have misunderstood me. Lack of clear source is enough to put a quote under attributed. However, all the quotes are added were from an academic site featuring a translation of "On the Jew...". You didn't seem to have accuracy problems with the translation, so I am not understanding your complaint. The translation, and possibly the original, had no chapter information. That is, indeed, unfortunate. I would dearly love to work from an original, if you can find the original German (AIUI not copyrighted) online somewhere (my own attempts, using the German title in google, failed).

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 CTSWyneken. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name CTSWyneken~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 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on The Office, making wikiquote a better place for getting TV quotes is appreciated. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 05:00, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
