498a
This seems like a highly-specific theme (a specific law in India, in this case) with no sourced quotes, and a POV intro. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closes: 16:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Some of the quotes may be worth keeping, but not in that article or subject matter.  Cbrown1023  talk  15:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. ~ UDScott 15:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It is not a problem in my opinion an article is highly-specific theme; a TV show, movie could be also said "highly-specific". However regarding the amount of current quotes on this page I concur with Cbrown1023 about the possibility of merger (perhaps Marriage?)
 * Also I would like to point out that India belongs to "the English speaking world" properly, since 1) English is one of their official languages, or some of them think so at least and 2) it is the lingua franca in that country at least among high-educated people. And their population is bigger than any other English speaking country. I have no bad reason to include India specific theme articles to this project as well as US specific theme articles. --Aphaia 15:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I only mentioned that it was India as part of the description of what the page was about; I'd have nominated a page for any single American law just the same. Perhaps, with other quotes, there could be a larger them page for Indian laws. —LrdChaos (talk) 16:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Even for the Amendment One?  I assume there are lots of quotes which deserve a specific article... Anyway you raised another concern; if we merge it to another existing article, which will be the appropriate? You suggested Indian laws. I had proposed Marriage. Or we could merge it to India (as part of their life). Or just we'll delete them. I have no fixed idea for now and would like to think about it for a while. Aphaia 16:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I just think that a particular law is too specific; I know you mentioned that one could point to a TV show or film as "too specific", but I tend to think of a particular law as roughly on the same level as a particular episode of a TV show: it wouldn't merit its own page, but rather space on a container page with other laws/shows. As far as merging goes, I think that one or two quotes could find their way into the Marriage page; however, I would want them to be sourced, especially considering the introduction's claim that the quotes are "from the harassed victims" of the law. While they may be well-suited to comment, I don't know if they would meet notability standards. —LrdChaos (talk) 16:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 00:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - the law is notable enough, and I really don't mind having quote pages on specific laws. That said, the article is way too one-sided. I'd say keep if we can get quotes from both sides. I would also like to rename it to Indian dowry or Dowry in India to broaden it to cover the entire issue, not just one law about. Koweja 01:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I think that there is some salvageable material but it needs a rewrite.--Poetlister 22:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless quotes sourced. I'm not especially happy with any of the suggested renaming or mergers mentioned above, so I'm basically counting on the combination of no sources and clear POV to justify deleting this problem article. If it survives, it might be better to leave it in place than bury its material somewhere else where it will continue to push an unsourced POV — at least we could more easily see it as a problem to be fixed. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Edgar Wilson Nye

 * For other people named Bill Nye, see Bill Nye (disambiguation).

Edgar Wilson "Bill" Nye (August 25, 1850 – February 22, 1896) was a distinguished American journalist, who later became widely known as a humorist. He was also the founder and editor of the Laramie Boomerang.

Quotes

 * There is a grim and ghastly humor -- the humor that is born of a pathetic philosophy -- which now and then strikes me in reading the bright and keen-witted work of our American paragraphers. It is a humor that may be crystallized by hunger and sorrow and tears. It is not found elsewhere as it is in America. It is out of the question in England, because an Englishman cannot poke fun at himself. He cannot joke about an empty flour-barrel. We can: especially if by doing it we may swap the joke for another barrel of flour. We can never be a nation of snobs so long as we are willing to poke fun at ourselves.
 * The Century magazine (1892)

Attributed

 * The peculiar characteristic of classical music is that it is really better than it sounds.
 * A stand-up line quoted in 1888.
 * Variant: Wagner's music is better than it sounds (attested in an obituary; see The Quote Verifier)

 * In reference to convicted Palestinian prisoners announcing a hunger strike. Hanegbi: Prisoners on hunger strike 'can starve to death' Haaretz, 14 August 2004

"No information can be revealed about Dr. Avi Ben-Abraham or his activities, due to his involvement since 1976 in matters of National Security of the United States and its allies. Intelligence agencies planted disinformation about Dr. Ben-Abraham in newspapers around the world, in an effort to protect his life and hide his secret scientific discoveries.

Mossad and Israeli Military Intelligence chief, Major General Meir Amit, who is familiar with Dr. Avi Ben-Abraham's work in international security, prevented him from talking to the press and revealing his outstanding achievements and secret research work. When he will determine that publication of his secret scientific discoveries, will not endanger the national security of the United States and Israel, it's going to be an amazing story. He was very close to President Reagan, to President Bush and to CIA director William J Casey. His story is very, very special".

About Tzachi Hanegbi

 * In his actions was a crude trampling of the law and of proper administrative rules, politicization of the public service, and the use of public resources to advance personal and political interests.

Mnemonic pages
Pages nominated:
 * Category:Mnemonics
 * Biology mnemonics
 * English mnemonics
 * English astronomy mnemonics
 * English biology mnemonics
 * English chemistry mnemonics
 * English computing mnemonics

 * Transwiki:List of mnemonic verses
 * Transwiki:List of mnemonics
 * Weights and measures mnemonics
 * Zodiac mnemonics

Rather than wait out the nomination of Japanese mnemonics for no good reason, I'm going to be bold and nominate every mnemonic page I could find, English or otherwise. I hope that this will address any concerns that my motivation was language-based.

Here are my explanations why these pages should be deleted: —LrdChaos (talk) 16:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) There is no real way to source this. While sometimes textbooks will list mnemonics, the ones that we have lack sources.
 * 2) This somewhat follows from the above. More often than not, mnemonics are the creation of a student or a teacher as an aid to learning. Sometimes their usage can be widespread (SOH CAH TOA for sin, cosine, and tangent, as an example) but there often a number of variations that are, in effect, vanity quotes.
 * 3) The subject matter isn't really appropriate for Wikiquote. In my mind, mnemonics are quite a different animal from the other sorts of quotes we have here; these basically boil down a series of learning aids, and while they can easily meet a simplistic definition for what constitutes a "quote" (i.e., something said or written) their nature is different from other "quotes". (Perhaps mnemonics might make a good subject for a Wikibooks page.)
 * 4) In the case of foreign-language pages, the material isn't English. While there are often English descriptions accompanying the mnemonics, the primary content is not English and cannot be translated in such a way as to preserve the point.
 * ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Vote closes: 22 February 2007, 17:00 (UTC)
 * Vote extended to 20:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC), to give a full week's consideration after explicitly adding Japanese mnemonics to this discussion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

KEEP. or figure out a place to put it. Usefull 24.222.119.85 04:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. ~ UDScott 16:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I totally agree with LrdChaos here, per nom.  Cbrown1023  talk  16:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Retain, these pages cover a useful topic mhardee 9:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * NOTE: The actual signature/timestamp of the above vote is 16:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC). We currently have no User:mhardee. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Three things:
 * Delete all mnemonics aren't really quotes, and so few of them are notable, or verifiable since there are no "official" mnemonics.
 * or Delete non-English mnemonics if we decide that mnemonics are acceptable. Mnemonics don't translate very well so the meaning is lost. Besides, we have foreign language Wikiquotes, where they would be more appropriate.
 * Should we close the Japanese mnemonics debate early since the page would be included with this discussion?
 * Koweja 18:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As I write this, I see 2 explicit "transfer nominations" from Aphaia and myself, 1 implicit one from InvisibleSun, and 3 implications (from LrdChaos, UDScott, and less clearly, Cbrown1023) that doing the transfer would be in line with their expressed interest in both discussions to delete all mnemonics articles, with no unaccounted-for votes. I conclude there is a fairly clear move in this direction from the existing Japanese mnemonics ("Jm") participants. I'd rather see more explicit agreement in "Jm" to transfer, but if that hasn't happened by the closure date, I feel I can add "Jm" to this discussion as part of its closure, based on this evaluation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the English language ones; they are a bit marginal, but arguably are within our scope. Some are so well-known that they can be called "familiar quotaions".  Delete the foreign language ones as being outside the scope of English Wikiquote.--Poetlister 22:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or move; this is useful content and having it somewhere on Wikimedia makes coping with additions and links easier. –EdC 01:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Please note that EdC probably means "Transwiki" with move.  Cbrown1023  talk  01:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, yeah, sorry. TBH if there isn't an appropriate home for them I'm beginning to swing towards killing them off; I'd prefer that not to happen, though. EdC 18:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete all, including Japanese mnemonics, for the reasons I've already described in the "Jm" discussion. In addition to the questionable value as pithy quotes and my opinion that these are better moved to Wiktionary or even Wikipedia, the one likely insurmountable problem these articles all face is that nobody wants to reliably source any of them, despite the readily available references for such material. People can (and do) add whatever mnemonic they wish to make up, and we have no reasonable means to identify them as "vanity" or unnotable quotes. This is a blight on Wikiquote, and should be terminated with extreme prejudice. If I thought we had any hope of sourcing, I'd consider changing my vote to "transwiki", but it just ain't gonna happen. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree that mnemonics aren't exactly quotations; they're more like formulae. - InvisibleSun 22:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * * Transwiki or Keep → The mnemonics are very useful, although it's true that they aren't quotes. Like what the others said, having a collection of mnemonic somewhere in wiki quite a good idea, since it's wasteful to delete all of them just like that. — Yurei-eggtart 17:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki or Keep -- I think it's a matter of opinion as to whether these are quotes or not, but I can't countenance the wholesale deletion of useful knowledge. --The Cunctator 18:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment. To those suggesting these be transwiki'd, where should they go? I suspect Wikipedia would just try to kick them back here, and the only other place they might fit is at Wikibooks, but no one has really addressed the where question yet. —LrdChaos (talk) 19:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point. However I think Wikipedia is the best position; Wikibooks would be scared with materials not in compiled in their scheme. Personally I think those are within our scope, but apparently I belong to the minority. It depends on each POV if they are quotes or not, as the Cunctator said. We need to have many opinions to go through the middle way between those "no, no" and "yes, yes". To sum up opinions as many as possible, their ADF will a better place than ours. --Aphaia 03:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Aphaia, I didn't understand that last statement. Are you saying that there should be an AFD (articles for deletion) discussion about this on Wikipedia? Would this be to reconsider EdC's transwiki of three articles? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 13:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep If ever I would want to read mnemonics, I want to read them here, not some other website. Possibly some articles need merging, but not full deletion. Dev920 00:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment: So far, I've found only 6 articles in this list that even make an attempt to source some mnemonics:
 * English mnemonics — 2 external sites, neither wiki-reliable (I removed the unused medical one now in "medicine" and a commerical link)
 * English astronomy mnemonics — 2 of the 63 have unspecific book references (no chapter or page/edition)
 * English mathematics mnemonics — a personal poem, an MP3 file, and other unreliable sources
 * English medicine mnemonics — 1 of 44 (a complete, specific source!), 1 possibly reliable general source (MedicalMnemonics.com)
 * Transwiki:List of mnemonics — the medical link again
 * Transwiki:List of first-letter mnemonics — 16 well-cited references which apparently were not transferred to their resulting Wikiquote articles (except for the Swansburg medical quote)
 * After more than a week, I've seen no community interest in trying to obtain sources (or even transfer existing sources from the transwiki page) for any of these quotes. (All the existing sources were in the articles before this nomination.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 13:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

No Way Out (1987 film)

No Way Out is a 1987 film about a coverup and witchhunt that occur after a politician accidentally kills his mistress. The film is a remake of the 1948 film The Big Clock.
 * Directed by Roger Donaldson. Written by Robert Garland, based on the novel The Big Clock by Kenneth Fearing.

Is it a crime of passion, or an act of treason? taglines

Scott Pritchard

 * I am tired of weakness! I am faced with a grave problem, and I intend to resolve it quickly and cleanly.
 * Do you realize the magnitude of the scandal? The Secretary of Defense and a Soviet agent sharing the favors of a murdered whore.
 * Tom is the one who saw you at Susan's. He's known about you all along, isn't that right? We do know what that means. If Commander Farrell is the man who was with Miss Atwell, then Commander Farrell is the man who killed Miss Atwell. And we know that the man who killed Miss Atwell is Yuri. Therefore, Commander Farrell is Yuri, quod erat demonstrandum.
 * You have no idea what men of power can do!

Others

 * David Brice: [to Scott, who's arrived late] Order some breakfast! It's the most important meal of the day. You should take better care of yourself.
 * Susan Atwell: [as the band starts playing "D'ya think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart and two people start disco dancing] We've got a potential nausea situation building here!
 * Tom Farrell: [one of the Contras tries to follow him into the bathroom] I would rather do this myself. You can listen if you want to.
 * David: [after the computer has finished regenerating the Polaroid negative] Hey, take a look at this. Somebody get Donavan down here! It's Commander Farrell.
 * Schiller: [to Tom] In the Philippines when you passed that bag of underwear, Moscow was not amused! I should have acted then. But now it is no longer possible for you to remain United States. This bizarre incident has given them their Yuri, Evgeny Sergeyevich.

Dialogue

 * Quartermaster: We've got a Soviet submarine out there. Captain wants us to track it 'til morning.
 * Tom: Good. It'll give us a chance to test the depth charges.
 * Quartermaster: Yeah. That'll be the day.

 * Susan: Are you one of them?
 * Tom: One of what?
 * Susan: These hypocrites. All posh and shiny getting ready for four more years of ramming it to the rest of us.
 * Tom: You're pretty cynical.
 * Susan: Adequate to the occasion.

 * [Tom and Susan are making out in the limo when Tom notices the driver is watching them]
 * Tom: What's your name?
 * Bill the Limo driver: Bill.
 * Tom: Hi Bill. Could you close the slide, please?
 * Bill the Limo driver: Uh, sure.
 * Susan: [as the window goes up] Sorry, Bill.

 * Scott Pritchard: [about Brice] He's the most extraordinary person I've ever met in my life. If it came to it, I'd lay down my life for him.
 * Tom: Is that a job requirement?

 * Susan: [about the other man she is seeing] It's David Brice, Secretary of Defense. Satisfied?
 * Tom: You know I work for Brice?
 * Susan: I guess that makes two of us.

 * Tom: [about the Contras] Who are these men?
 * Scott: They're associated with Special Forces.
 * Tom: What? What does that mean?
 * Scott: It means that they are associated with Special Forces.

 * CIA Director Marshall: What's all this top secret business I've been hearing about over at the Pentagon?
 * Kevin O'Brien: Here's what we do have. CID is running a phone check. They're looking for all calls placed to a Susan Atwell.
 * CIA Director Marshall: Who's she?
 * Kevin O'Brien: Well, she's in the morgue at Fort Meade. She was murdered last night.
 * CIA Director Marshall: We know anything about it?
 * Kevin O'Brien: Get ready for this. We think she's either David Brice's or Scott Pritchard's mistress. Well she was seen with both of them. It didn't seem a high priority matter, so my people have been a little lax in following it up.
 * CIA Director Marshall: Well, spilt milk. And you can forget about Pritchard. He's homosexual.
 * Kevin O'Brien: I'll be damned.
 * CIA Director Marshall: So will he, if you believe the Old Testament.

 * [A Contra has chased Tom to the Secretary's Office when they are stopped by the MPs]
 * Tom: [to nearest MP] I am your superior officer and I am giving you a direct order to arrest this man.
 * Contra: I have orders from Pritchard!
 * Tom: Do it!
 * Contra: I have my orders from Pritchard!
 * Tom: [to Contra] Shut up!
 * [Tom kicks Contra in the groin, who is then dragged away by the MPs]
 * Tom: And if he resists, shoot him!
 * MP: Yes, sir!

 * [Scott Pritchard has committed suicide and Major Donavan has just stormed into Brice's office]
 * David Brice: Your search is over, Major!
 * Maj. Donovan: [looking at Scott's corpse] Is that...?
 * David Brice: He shot himself!

Haunted (Palahniuk novel)

Haunted is a novel (2005) by Chuck Palahniuk.

Unsourced

 * People in France have a phrase: "Spirit of the Stairway." In French: esprit d'Escalier. It means that moment when you find the answer but it's too late. So you're at a party and someone insults you. You have to say something. So, under pressure, with everybody watching, you say something lame. But the moment you leave the party...As you start down the stairway, then - magic. You come up with the perfect thing you should've said. The perfect crippling put down. That's the Spirit of the Stairway. The trouble is, even the French don't have a phrase for the stupid things you actually do say under pressure. Those stupid, desperate things you actually think or do.
 * Chapter One, Guts
 * "To create a race of masters from a race of slaves, Mr. Whittier said, to teach a controlled group of how to create their own lives, Moses had to be an asshole."
 * Chapter 3
 * "It's not a matter of right and wrong," Mr. Whittier would say. Really, there is no wrong. Not in our minds. Our own reality. You can never set off to do the wrong thing. You can never say the wrong thing. In your own mind, you are always right. Every action you take--what you do or say or how you choose to appear--is automatically right the moment you act.
 * Chapter 4
 * What you have to love about drinking is, every swallow is an irrevocable decision. You charging ahead, in control if the game. It’s the same with pills, sedatives and painkillers, every swallow us a first definite step down some road.
 * Chapter 4, Slumming by Lady Baglady
 * Stink for privacy, the new way to protect personal space. Intimidation by odor.
 * Chapter 4, Slumming by Lady Baglady

 * "A journalist has a right... ...and a duty, to destroy the golden calves he helps create."
 * Chapter 5, Trade Secrets, A Poem About the Earl of Slander

 * "You are permanent, but this life is not," Mr. Whittier would say. "You don't expect to visit an amusement park, then stay forever."
 * Chapter 6

 * The earth, he'd say, is just a big machine. A big processing plant. A factory. That's your big answer. The big truth. Think of a rock polisher, one of those drums, goes round and round, rolls twenty-four/seven, full of water and rocks and gravel. Grinding it all up. Round and round. Polishing those ugly rocks into gemstones. That's the earth. Why it goes round. We're the rocks. And what happens to us--the drama and pain and joy and war and sickness and victory and abuse--why, that's just the water and sand to erode us. Grind us down. To polish us up, nice and bright.
 * Chapter 6

 * In the big factory of perfecting human souls, the Earth was a kind of tumbler. The same as the kind people use to polish rocks. All souls come here to rub the sharp edges off each other. All of us, we're meant to be worn smooth by conflict and pain of every kind. To be polished. There was nothing bad about this. This wasn't suffering. It was erosion. It was just another, a basic, an important step in the refining process.
 * Chapter 6

 * "Every apostle or disciple," Mrs. Clarke says, "as much as their running to follow they're savior-they're running just as hard to escape something else."
 * Chapter 8

 * For the rest of history, all over the world, people will be trying to save this same dead woman. This woman who just wanted to die.
 * Chapter 9, Exodus

 * You can't unfuck a kid. Once you fuck a kid, you can't get that genie back in the bottle.
 * Chapter 9, Exodus

 * This is just what human beings do-turn objects into people, people into objects. Back and forth. Tit for tat.
 * Chapter 9, Exodus

 * As a fundraiser, our first idea was 'Five Bucks to Punch a Mime.'
 * Chapter 10, Punch Drunk

 * "Yes, terrible things happen, but sometimes those terrible things- they save you." p205
 * Chapter 11, Ritual

 * "What matters," Sister Vigilante says, "is, people need a monster they can believe in." A true horrible enemy. A demon to define themselves against. Otherwise, it's just us versus us.
 * Chapter 13, Civil Twilight
 * With the angel of death going door to door, people stayed together. They quit bitching and behaved.
 * Chapter 13, Civil Twilight
 * I lost my virginity through my ear.
 * Chapter 15, Anticipation

''For making us short. Fat. Poor.''
 * The whole idea of men creating perfect robot women for their own pleasure, it happens every day. The most "beautiful" women you see in public, none of them are for real. They're just men perpetuating their perverted stereotypes of women. Just the oldest story in the world. There's a penis on every page of Cosmopolitan magazine if you know where to look.
 * Chapter 15, Speaking Bitterness, A Story by Comrade Snarky
 * "We should forgive God..."

''We should forgive God for our baldness. Our cystic fibrosis. Our juvenile leukemia.''

We should forgive God's indifference, His leaving us behind:

Us, God's forgotten Science Fair project, left to grow mold.

God's goldfish, ignored until we're forced to eat our own shit off the bottom.
 * Chapter 19, Absolution

 * That's how a scary story works. It echoes some ancient fear. It recreates some forgotten terror. Something we'd like to think we're grown beyond. But it can still scare us to tears. It's something you'd hoped was healed.
 * Chapter 19, Hot Potting, A story by Baroness Frostbite
 * If there's a trick to doing a job you hate... Mrs. Clark says it's to find a job you hate even more.
 * Chapter 20, Cassandra, Another story by Mrs. Clarke

 * We love drama. We love conflict. We need a devil or we'll create one.

 * Chapter 20, Cassandra, Another story by Mrs. Clarke

 * "Telling a story is how we digest what happens to us," Mr Whittier says, "It's how we digest our lives. Our experiences."
 * Chapter 21
 * If we can forgive what's been done to us... If we can forgive what we've done to others... If we can leave our stories behind. Our being victims and villains. Only then can we maybe rescue the world.
 * Chapter 21

 * "I used to think the secret to a happy ending was to bring down the curtain at the exact right time. A moment after happiness, then everything's all wrong again." p76

 * "The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people. And maybe the reason vampires don’t die is because they can never see themselves in photographs or mirrors." p144
 * People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves.

 * Some stories, Mr.Whitter would say, you tell them and you use them up. Other stories, they use you up. p288
 * Some stories, you use up. Others use you up.
 * The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people. And maybe the reason vampires don’t die is because they can never see themselves in photographs or mirrors.
 * The world will always punish the few people with special talents the rest of us don’t recognize as real.
 * A book is as private and consensual as sex.
 * Leather shoes and fried chicken and dead soldiers are only a tragedy if you waste their gift sitting in front of the television. Or stuck in traffic. Or stranded at some airport.
 * That’s the American Dream: to make your life into something you can sell.

 * Their teeth white, as if they never used teeth for anything except to smile.

 * Some stories, she'd say, the more you tell them, the faster you use them up. Those kind, the drama burns off, and every version, they sound more silly and flat. The other kind of story, it uses you up. The more you tell it, the stronger it gets. Those kind of stories only remind you how stupid you were. Are. Will always be.

 * I used to think the secret to a happy ending was to bring down the curtain at the exact right time. A moment after happiness, then everything's all wrong, again.

 * "Until you can ignore your circumstances, and just do as you promise," he says, "you'll always be controlled by the world."

 * You will always have some excuse not to live your life.

 * Her dress, swimsuit-tight, leotard-tight, her pantyhose run with women pedaling bicycles going nowhere at a thousand calories an hour.

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

Rocky Marciano

Rocky Marciano (1 September 1923 – 31 August 1969), born Rocco Francis Marchegiano, was the heavyweight boxing champion of the world from 1952 to 1956. Marciano, with forty-four knockouts to his credit (an 87.8% knockout rate), remains the only heavyweight champion in boxing history to retire without a defeat or a draw in his professional career of 50 fights, however his amateur record is 8-4; 7 victories came by way of knockouts. He fought 7 championship fights. Rocky Marciano's boxing career lasted from 1946 to 1956.

Quotes

 * What could be better than walking down any street in any city and knowing you're the heavyweight champion of the world?
 * After knocking out Jersey Joe Walcott to capture the heavyweight crown, as quoted in "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * That was a fucking dumb question. If I didn't think I was gonna win, why the hell would I be fighting?!
 * To a reporter who asked if he thought he'd win his upcoming fight against Joe Louis, quoted in, "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * Why waltz with a guy for 10 rounds if you can knock him out in one?
 * As quoted in, "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * I don't want to be remembered as a beaten champion.
 * Explaining why he wouldn't come out of retirement for a big payday against heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson, as quoted in, "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * Roland La Starza was tough, but Ezzard Charles was the toughest man I ever fought. I learned what pain was all about when I fought him.
 * Reminiscing about his opponents; quoted in"Sept. 17, 1954: Marciano vs Charles" by Eliott McCormick, in The Fight City (17 September 2019)

Quotes about Marciano

 * Sorted alphabetically by author or source

 * Rocky Marciano stood out in boxing like a rose in a garbage dump.
 * Jimmy Cannon, as quoted in I Don't Believe It, But It's True: A Year in Boxing (2006) by Thomas Hauser, p. 293

 * Rocky is not in there to outpoint anybody with an exhibition of boxing skill. He is a primitive fighter who stalks his prey until he can belt him with that frightening right-hand crusher. He is one of the easiest fighters in the ring to hit. You can, as with an enraged grizzly bear, slow him down and make him shake his head if you hit him hard enough to wound him, but you can't make him back up. Slowly, relentlessly, ruthlessly, he moves in on you. Sooner or later, he clubs you down.
 * Ed Fitzgerald, sportswriter, as quoted in"Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * I got a guy who's short, stoop shouldered and balding with two left feet. They all look better than he does as far as the moves are concerned, but they don't look so good on the canvas. God, how he can punch.
 * Charlie Goldman, Marciano's trainer, as quoted in "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * I was on my face. I heard the count from one to 10. I kept telling myself that I had to get up, but I couldn't move. I couldn't make myself move. It was the strangest feeling.
 * Rex Layne, after being knocked out by Marciano, as quoted in "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * The greatness of Marciano in the ring was defined by the way he prepared for a fight, his ability to punch and take a punch.
 * Will McDonough, as quoted in Rocky Marciano: The Rock of His Times (2002) by Russell Sullivan

 * Rocky didn't know enough boxing to know what a feint was. He never tried to outguess you. He just kept trying to knock your brains out. If he missed you with one punch, he just threw another. I had the braggadocio and the skill and the guts, but that wasn't enough. Marciano beat me down.
 * Archie Moore, who was knocked out by Marciano, as quoted in "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

 * Rocky is a poor Italian boy from a poor Italian family, and he appreciates the buck more than almost anybody. He's only got two halfway decent purses so far, and it was like a tiger tasting blood
 * Al Weill, Marciano's manager, as quoted in "Remembering the Brockton Blockbuster", by Thomas Hauser, in The New York Sun (14 September 2005)

Guy Debord

Guy-Ernest Debord (December 28, 1931 – November 30, 1994) was a French strategist and founding member of the groups Letterist International and Situationist International (SI). He was also briefly a member of Socialisme ou Barbarie.

Quotes

 * Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us.
 * Internationale Situationist (no. 1, Paris, June 1958).

Report on the Construction of Situations (1957)

 * We are going through a crucial historical crisis in which each year poses more acutely the global problem of rationally mastering the new productive forces and creating a new civilization. Yet the international working-class movement, on which depends the prerequisite overthrow of the economic infrastructure of exploitation, has registered only a few partial local successes. Capitalism has invented new forms of struggle (state intervention in the economy, expansion of the consumer sector, fascist governments) while camouflaging class oppositions through various reformist tactics and exploiting the degenerations of working-class leaderships. In this way it has succeeded in maintaining the old social relations in the great majority of the highly industrialized countries, thereby depriving a of its indispensable material base. In contrast, the underdeveloped or colonized countries, which over the last decade have engaged in the most direct and massive battles against imperialism, have begun to win some very significant victories. These victories are aggravating the contradictions of the capitalist economy and (particularly in the case of the Chinese revolution) could be a contributing factor toward a renewal of the whole revolutionary movement. Such a renewal cannot limit itself to reforms within the capitalist or  countries, but must develop conflicts posing the question of power everywhere.
 * About the Situationist International movement

 * The shattering of modern culture is the result, on the plane of ideological struggle, of the chaotic crisis of these antagonisms. The new desires that are taking shape are presented in distorted form: present-day resources could enable them to be fulfilled, but the anachronistic economic structure is incapable of developing these resources to such ends. Ruling-class ideology has meanwhile lost all coherence because of the depreciation of its successive conceptions of the world (a depreciation which leads the ruling class to historical indecision and uncertainty); because of the coexistence of a range of mutually contradictory ideologies (such as Christianity and social-democracy); and because of the mixing into contemporary Western culture of a number of only recently appreciated features of several foreign civilizations. The main goal of ruling-class ideology is therefore to maintain this confusion.

 * We must call attention, among the workers parties or the extremist tendencies within those parties, to the need to undertake an effective ideological action in order to combat the emotional influence of . On every occasion, by every hyper-political means, we must publicize desirable alternatives to the spectacle of the capitalist way of life, so as to destroy the bourgeois idea of happiness. At the same time, taking into account the existence, within the various ruling classes, of elements that have always tended (out of boredom and thirst for novelty) toward things that lead to the disappearance of their societies, we should incite the persons who control some of the vast resources that we lack to provide us with the means to carry out our experiments, out of the same motives of potential profit as they do with.
 * Our Immediate Tasks

(1967)

 * In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.
 * Ch. 1, sct. 1.

 * The spectacle appears at once as society itself, as a part of society and as a means of unification. As part of society, it is that sector where all attention, all consciousness, converges. Being isolated - and precisely for that reason - this sector is the locus of illusion and false consciousness; the unity is imposes is merely the official language of generalized separation.
 * Ch. 1, sct. 3.

 * The spectacle is not a collection of images; rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images.
 * Ch. 1, sct. 4.

 * The spectacle manifests itself as an enormous positivity, out of reach and beyond dispute. All it says is: "Everything that appears is good; whatever is good will appear."  The attitude that is demands in principle is the same passive acceptance that it has already secured by means of its seeming incontrovertibly, and indeed by its monopolization of the realm of appearances.
 * Ch. 1, sct. 12

 * Philosophy is at once the power of alienated thought and the thought of alienated power, and as such it has never been able to emancipate itself from theology.
 * Ch. 1, sct. 20

 * Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption ... is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
 * Ch. 7, sct. 168.

 * Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.
 * Ch. 8, sct. 207 (confer Comte de Lautréamont, Poésies II, 1870).

The Incomplete Works of the Situationist International (Nov. 1963)

 * Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
 * The Bad Old Days Will End

Comments on the Society of the Spectacle (1988)

 * No longer is science asked to understand the world, or to improve any part of it. It is asked instead to immediately justify everything that happens....spectacular domination has cut down the vast tree of scientific knowledge in order to make itself a truncheon.

 * With the destruction of history, contemporary events themselves retreat into a remote and fabulous realm of unverifiable stories, uncheckable statistics, unlikely explanations and untenable reasoning.

 * Everyone accepts that there are inevitably little areas of secrecy reserved for specialists; as regards things in general, many believe they are in on the secret.

 * What is false creates taste, and reinforces itself by knowingly eliminating any possible reference to the authentic. And what is genuine is reconstructed as quickly as possible, to resemble the false.

 * The Mafia is not an outsider in this world; it is perfectly at home. Indeed, in the integrated spectacle it stands as the model of all advanced commercial enterprises.
 * It is hardly surprising that children should enthusiastically start their education at an early age with the Absolute Knowledge of computer science; while they are unable to read, for reading demands making judgments at every line.... Conversation is almost dead, and soon so too will be those who knew how to speak.
 * Ch. 10.

 * The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.
 * Of Marshall McLuhan’s notion of the “global village.”
 * Ch. 12.

Panegyric (1989)

 * There is nothing more natural than to consider everything as starting from oneself, chosen as the center of the world; one finds oneself thus capable of condemning the world without even wanting to hear its deceitful chatter.
 * Vol. 1, pt. 1.

 * Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.
 * Vol. 1, pt. 1.

 * In the zone of perdition where my youth went as if to complete its education, one would have said that the portents of an imminent collapse of the whole edifice of civilization had made an appointment.
 * Vol. 1, Pt. 2.

Quotes about Guy Debord

 * Jorn’s role in the Situationist movement (as in COBRA) was that of a catalyst and team leader. Guy Debord on his own lacked the personal warmth and persuasiveness to draw people of different nationalities and talents into an active working partnership. As a prototype Marxist intellectual Debord needed an ally who could patch up the petty egoisms and squabbles of the members. Their quarrels came into the open the moment Jorn’s leadership was withdrawn in 1961. . . . Finally, 1966-8 saw the vindication of Debord’s policy, sustained against every kind of opposition, of adhering rigidly to the uncompromising pursuit of a singleminded plan. When the time came — in Strasbourg in November 1966 and in Paris in May 1968 — Debord was ready, with his two or three remaining supporters, to take over the revolutionary role for which he had been preparing during the last ten years. Incredible as it may seem, the active ideologists (“enragés” and Situationists) behind the revolutionary events in Strasbourg, Nanterre and Paris, numbered only about ten persons.
