'Allo 'Allo!

'Allo 'Allo! (1982–1992) is a British television series produced by the BBC. The show's premise was not to make fun of the war but to spoof war-based film and TV dramas.

Pilot: The British Are Coming

 * [René is trying to work out who is working for the Resistance]
 * René: Are you one of them?
 * Lt. Gruber: It was very lonely on the Russian front.
 * LeClerc: Is he one of us?
 * René: No, he is one of them!
 * Gruber: Please, do not tell everybody!

 * [The British airmen are cycling along the left side of a road on the way to Nouvion dressed as onion sellers]
 * Carstairs: Pretty place France, don’t you think so, Fairfax? Napoleon planted all these trees, you know?
 * Fairfax: Wonder when he had time to fight any battles?
 * Carstairs: He didn’t do it personally, fathead. He had them planted to keep the sun off his troops while they were marching up and down... Do you notice that when ever we pass these peasant people they seem to stare at us in a rather odd way?
 * Fairfax: Maybe, because you’re driving a girl's bicycle.
 * Carstairs: Perhaps we’re doing something wrong. [A car drives by and almost crushes into them]
 * Carstairs: Fairfax, I think I’ve cracked it. We’re riding on the wrong side of the road!

 * [Colonel Von Strohm and Captain Geering are admiring their newly stolen treasures]
 * Geering: It is not much to look at, Herr Colonel.
 * Colonel: Hans, you ignorant peasant, this is probably the first cuckoo-clock ever made. Absolutely priceless. Und this, this is the Fallen Madonna by Van Klomp, which will be worth a fortune after the war.
 * Geering: Is it wise to have it in your office?
 * Colonel: Who can see it apart from Helga?
 * Geering: Come to think of it, it looks a little like Helga.
 * Colonel: You too?

Six Big Boobies

 * [Herr Flick has mixed up the original Fallen Madonna with two forgeries and needs Helga's help to identify the real one]
 * Herr Flick: I have three fallen Madonnas, with six big boobies. Only one of them is real.
 * Helga: Only one big booby?
 * Flick. One painting is the original, the other two are forgeries.

The Policeman Cometh

 * [Officer Crabtree has just arrived by parachute dressed as a policeman]
 * Officer Crabtree: I am disgeesed as poloceman so I am oble to move aboot with complate frodom.

 * [Herr Flick and Helga are in Herr Flick's secret headquarters]
 * Helga: You're looking pensive Herr Flick.
 * Herr Flick: I'm trying to decide what to do with you tonight. I might take you to the movies.
 * Helga: What is showing?
 * Herr Flick: Anything we want. Or we could stay here and amuse ourselves. I have a box of sharp needles somewhere. (Helga looks a little nervous) Ah, here they are.
 * Helga: What have you in mind Herr Flick?
 * Herr Flick: I have an excellent gramophone, and many records of Hitler's speeches. They are quite amusing.
 * Helga: (surprised) Hitler's speeches, quite amusing?
 * Herr Flick: Played at double speed, he sounds like Donald Duck.

 * [René is on the telephone to the communist resistance to ask them to blow up a train]
 * René: How much?! Now look here. It is just one little train. Well surely you could do it for a bit less than that. Is that your rock-bottom price? Well hang on a minute. [Puts down telephone, opens the till. Checks cash, and goes back to the telephone]. No, no, I cannot go to that [pause]. Well how would it be if we supplied the explosives? [panics slightly] No, no I do not want to leave my name, no, it is just an enquiry!

 * [Helga is standing in a corner of Herr Flicks headquarters]
 * Herr Flick: Let that be a lesson to you. Never again will you burn my toast.

Swiftly and with Style

 * [Colonel Von Strohm and Captain Geering are about to desert from the German army because they failed to destroy a munitions train]
 * Officer Crabtree: I have good nose.
 * René: Yes, yes, you are very handsome...
 * Officer Crabtree: The troon carrying the painting has been bummed by the RAF.
 * René: Bummed by the RAF?!
 * Col. Von Strohm / Captain Geering: Bummed by the RAF⁉
 * Lt. Gruber: What have the naughty RAF been up to now?
 * René: They bombed an munition train.
 * Captain Geering: Did they destroy it?
 * Officer Crabtree: There were little pisses all over the track.

Herr Flick's Revenge

 * [Herr Flick is playing the organ whilst Helga crushes the Captain, the Colonel and René]
 * Herr Flick: Look! No hands!

Christmas Special: The Gateau from the Chateau

 * [Colonel Von Strohm and Captain Geering are planning to kill General Von Klinkerhoffen]
 * Colonel: Hans, have you got the weedkiller?
 * Geering: Even better - the chemist gave me a pill containing all his best poisons. You take it with a glass of wine. One drink and... [impersonates a dead person] all is quiet on the Western Front.
 * Colonel: Are you sure it'll work?
 * Geering: Yes. I told him it was for you.

 * [Captain Geering is putting the plan to kill General Von Klinkerhoffen into action]
 * Geering: The Colonel gave you a pill. Where is it?
 * René:I have the pill in the till.
 * Geering: Wheere is the vine for the General?
 * René: It is here in this jug.
 * Geering: The pill contains a drug.
 * René: The pill in the till?
 * Geering: Take it and put it in there.
 * René: Put the drug in the jug?
 * Gruber: (Comes in with the Gateau) We nearly forgot the most important thing.
 * René: (panic) Oh, my God! The Gateau from the Chateau!
 * Geering: What about the Gateau from the Chateau?
 * René: It contains a bomb!!!
 * Geering: A bomb in the Gateau from the Chateau???
 * René: It is to blow up the General! You must not let anyone light that fuse.
 * Geering: But where is the fuse?
 * René: It is the candle with the handle.
 * Geering: You do not need to kill the General, we have already arranged to kill the General... Do you not see? That if we kill him with the pill from the till by making with it the drug in the jug, you need not light the candle with the handle on the Gateau from the Chateau!
 * René: Simple plots are always the best.

Gruber Does Some Mincing

 * [A tailor prepares an outfit for Helga that Herr Flick will find appropriate for the Gestapo Ball]
 * Herr Flick: We can't have you going to the Gestapo Ball looking any old how.

 * [Herr Flick sings the "Traditional Gestapo Dance" set to the tune of "The Hokey Cokey"]
 * Herr Flick: You put your left boot in, you put your left boot out! You do a lot of shouting and you shake your fist about. You light a little smokey and you burn down the town, that's what it's all about! [While executing a lopsided turn] heil! Ahhh, Himmler, Himmler, Himmler! [While moving hands up and down]

The Sausage in the Wardrobe

 * [Madame Fanny has been spending forged money in the hat shop]
 * Crabtree: Good Moaning, I have come to arost your mither.
 * Yvette: Arrest her mother? Why, what has she done?
 * Crabtree: She has been pissing fudged bank notes in the hit shop.
 * Edith: What does Crabtree say, Yvette?
 * Yvette: I think he means "she has been passing forged bank notes in the hat shop.
 * Crabtree: Presoasly
 * René (Dressed like Fanny, doing a poor impression of her): Edith, remind him he is supposed to be on our side.
 * Crabtree: Who is the ugly old bog in the bed beside your mother?
 * Fanny: I have been asking the same question.
 * René (takes off his wig): It is I, Rene.
 * Crabtree: My Gid that was a god disgeese, I was complotely decieved by the wog.
 * René: Edith, give him 500 francs from the till and tell him to pass off.
 * Crabtree: There is no need to be rode.

The Flight of Fancy

 * [Herr Flick's car is flattened by a steam roller driven by Captain Geering]
 * Herr Flick: Who has squashed my Gestapo staff car?
 * Colonel Von Strohm: It was Captain Geering, Herr Flick.
 * Captain Geering: [Nervously] Heil Hilter.
 * Herr Flick: This is very serious... The Gestapo is only insured third party.

Pretty Maids All in a Row

 * [Edith has 'shot' the two airmen with Captain Geering's gun, then handed the gun back to him]
 * Officer Crabtree: I was pissing by the door, when I heard two shats. You are holding in your hand a smoking goon; you are clearly the guilty potty.

Good Staff Are Hard to Find

 * [Captain Bertorelli has been taken upstairs by Mimi to look at some paintings. Mimi actually intends to kill him]
 * Captain Bertorelli: Sigorine!
 * [He staggers down the stairs after Mimi roughed him up "showing him the paintings", he finially collapses on the floor gibbering, trying to say something to Lt. Gruber]
 * Captain Bertorelli: Whatever you do, don't-a you make a pass at the girls.
 * René: Don't worry, he won't.

The Sausage in the Trousers

 * [Officer Crabtree enters the cafe walking very gingerly]
 * Officer Crabtree: I am wicking this woo because my poloceman's troosers are full of deenamote.

The Jet-Propelled Mother-In-Law

 * [Edith discovers René and Yvette embracing in the larder]
 * Edith: René! What are you doing with your arms around that girl?
 * René: You stupid woman? Can you not see she's suffering from claustrophobia? She accidentally locked herself in the larder.
 * Edith: But there is no key!
 * René: Exactly, that's why she couldn't get out.
 * Edith: Oh, the poor child. Oh, it happened to me once. I screamed and screamed, but nobody came.
 * René: We thought you were singing.

No Hiding Place

 * [René has just survived an attempt on his life by the Communist Resistance, in retaliation for the events of the previous episode]
 * Edith: He is dead!
 * René: I am not dead, you silly cow!

 * [René goes to the Gendarmerie (police station) as he continues to look for somewhere safe to hide from Denise Laroque. Watch this on YouTube]
 * René: Service! Is this a police station or a mortuary? (He rings the bell on the counter)
 * Crabtree: Would you please stop bonging the bill, or I shall lick you up for disturbing the puss.
 * René: Office Crabtree, it is I, René Artois (He removes his false beard). Will you lock me up, please?
 * Crabtree: Are you confessing to some cream?
 * René: Yes. Cream galore!

 * Crabtree: I see. Unfortunately, all the sills are filled to caposity. Could you come back next woke?
 * René: Oh my God! Why do I pay rates?

 * [René has been captured by the Communist Resistance and brought to Denise Laroque. She forgives him]
 * Denise: Now, hold me. Kiss me. Crush your lips with my lips, and tell me you will never leave me again.

A Quiet Honeymoon

 * Helga: What crime will this very common-looking criminal commit Herr Flick?
 * Herr Flick: It is not yet decided.
 * Helga: Could he not climb into the Colonel's office and steal the petty cash?
 * Herr Flick: That is a good idea Helga. My dazzling brilliance is obviously rubbing off on you. As a reward you may kiss me.

 * [Colonel Von Strohm is in a bad mood with Von Flockenstuffen and takes it out on Captain Bertorelli]
 * Colonel Von Strohm: Get out, and whilst you're out why don't you kill a chicken and get your hat restuffed.
 * Captain Bertorelli: Good idea. I go and chase a bird or two. (Pinches Helga's bottom on the way out.)

 * [General Von Klinkerhoffen is in hospital in a straitjacket. He is talking into the telephone which is next to the fruit bowl when General Von Flockenstuffen and Lieutenant Gruber visit]

 * Gruber: [Aside to Von Flockenstuffen] He's talking to the fruit.
 * Von Flockenstuffen: On second thoughts, I think we'll keep him in for the time being.

 * [Edith implores René to help Madame Fanny to escape from jail]
 * Edith: Mama is not well. How will she endure the hardships of prison life? The isolation, the damp, the lack of gin?

René: She is only the local nick. She has not been sent to Devil's Island... Yet, anyway.

A Winkle in Time
Edith: "René! What are you doing with that serving girl?"

René: "You stupid woman! Can you not see ... I am eloping!"

Richard Barnfield

Richard Barnfield (1574 – 1627) was an English poet and close friend of William Shakespeare.

Quotes

 * The waters were his winding sheet, the sea was made for his tomb; Yet for his fame the ocean sea, was not sufficient room.
 * Epitaph on Hawkins (1595).

Poems: In Divers Humours (1598)
Beasts did leap, and birds did sing, Trees did grow, and plants did spring; Every thing did banish moan, Save the nightingale alone.
 * As it fell upon a day In the merry month of May, Sitting in a pleasant shade Which a grove of myrtles made,
 * Ode, l. 1. Alternately, Address to the Nightingale; historically misattributed to William Shakespeare.

 * King Pandion, he is dead, All thy friends are lapped in lead.
 * Ode, l. 23.

 * Every one that flatters thee Is no friends in misery. Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find. Every man will be thy friend Whilst thou hast wherewith to spend; But if store of crowns be scant, No man will supply thy want.
 * Ode, l. 29.

 * If music and sweet poetry agree. As they must needs (the sister and the brother), Then must the love be great 'twixt thee and me, Because thou lov'st the one, and I the other.
 * To His Friend, Mr. R. L., In Praise of Music and Poetry, l. 1.

The Affectionate Shepheard (1594)

 * Scarce had the morning starre hid from the light Heavens crimson canopie with stars bespangled, But I began to rue th' unhappy sight Of that faire boy that had my hart intangled; Cursing the time, the place, the sense, the sin; I came, I saw, I viewd, I slipped in. If it be sinne to love a sweet-fac'd boy, Whose amber locks trust up in golden tramels Dangle adowne his lovely cheekes with joy, When pearle and flowers his faire haire enamels; If it be sinne to love a lovely lad, Oh then sinne I, for whom my soule is sad.
 * The Teares of an Affectionate Shepheard Sicke for Love, or the Complaint of Daphnis for the Love of Ganimede.

 * Next morning, when the golden sunne was risen, And new had bid good morrow to the mountaines; When night her silver light had lockt in prison, Which gave a glimmering on the christall fountaines: Then ended sleepe, and then my cares began, Ev'n with the uprising of the silver swan. Oh, glorious sunne! quoth I, viewing the sunne, That lightenst everie thing but me alone: Why is my summer season almost done, My spring-time past, and ages autumne gone? My harvest's come, and yet I reapt no corne: My love is great, and yet I am forlorne.
 * The Second Dayes Lamentation of the Affectionate Shepheard.

 * Of all the kindes of common countrey life, Methinkes a shepheards life is most content; His state is quiet peace, devoyd of strife; His thoughts are pure from all impure intent, His pleasures rate sits at an easie rent; He beares no mallice in his harmles hart, Malicious meaning hath in him no part. He is not troubled with th' afflicted minde, His cares are onely over silly sheepe; He is not unto jealozie inclinde, (Thrice happie man) he knowes not how to weepe; Whilst I the treble in deepe sorrowes keepe. I cannot keepe the meane; for why (alas) Griefes have no meane, though I for meane doe passe.
 * The Shepheard's Content, or the Happines of a Harmles Life.

Coretta Scott King

Coretta Scott King (27 April 1927 – 31 January 2006) was a civil rights activist, author, and wife of Martin Luther King, Jr.. Mother of Yolanda Denise King, Martin Luther King III, Dexter Scott King and Bernice King.

Quotes

 * I'm more determined than ever that my husband's dream will become a reality.
 * Statement soon after her husband's slaying in April 1968, as quoted in CNN obituary (January 31, 2006)

 * We must all begin to question the experts. They have not really been right. No abundance of material goods can compensate for the death of individuality and personal creativity.
 * Harvard class day address (1968); published in the July 1, 1968, issue of Harvard Alumni Bulletin
 * As quoted in International Education Vol. 1, p. 26

 * Our Congress passes laws that subsidize corporations, farms, oil companies, airlines, and houses for suburbia, but when they turn their attention to the poor they suddenly become concerned about balancing the budget and cut back on funds for Head Start.
 * Harvard class day address (1968), quoted in International Education Vol. 1, p. 28

 * Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.
 * As quoted in Daughters of the Promised Land, Women in American History (1970) by Page Smith, p. 273

 * Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood, the best in a marriage, the kind of people we are trying to become.
 * On the parents of her husband, in The Christian Science Monitor (2 July 1974)

 * The more visible signs of protest are gone, but I think there is a realization that the tactics of the late sixties are not sufficient to meet the challenges of the seventies.
 * As quoted in The Quotable Woman (1978) by Elaine Partnow, p. 390

 * If American women would increase their voting turnout by ten percent, I think we would see an end to all of the budget cuts in programs benefiting women and children.
 * As quoted in New Woman, Vol. 16, No. 4 (April 1986), p. 20

 * I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation.
 * As quoted in Shadow in the Land : Homosexuality in America (1989) by William Dannemeyer, p. 148

 * Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.
 * As quoted in The Last Word : A Treasury of Women's Quotes (1992), by Carolyn Warner, p. 99

 * I support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 1994 because I believe that freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. My husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." On another occasion he said, "I have worked too long and hard against segregated public accommodations to end up segregating my moral concern. Justice is indivisible." Like Martin, I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others. So I see this bill as a step forward for freedom and human rights in our country and a logical extension of the Bill of Rights and the civil rights reforms of the 1950s and '60's. The great promise of American democracy is that no group of people will be forced to suffer discrimination and injustice. I believe that this legislation will provide protection to a large group of working people, who have suffered persecution and discrimination for many years. To this endeavor, I pledge my wholehearted support.
 * Press Conference on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 1994, Washington D.C. (23 June 1994)

 * I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people and I should stick to the issue of racial justice. But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brother- and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people.
 * Reuters (31 March 1998)

 * Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to victimize the next minority group.
 * Chicago Defender (1 April 1998)

 * I've always felt that homophobic attitudes and policies were unjust and unworthy of a free society and must be opposed by all Americans who believe in democracy.
 * Chicago Sun Times (1 April 1998)

 * For many years now, I have been an outspoken supporter of civil and human rights for gay and lesbian people. Gays and lesbians stood up for civil rights in Montgomery, Selma, in Albany, Ga. and St. Augustine, Fla., and many other campaigns of the Civil Rights Movement. Many of these courageous men and women were fighting for my freedom at a time when they could find few voices for their own, and I salute their contributions
 * Chicago Tribune (1 April 1998)

 * On April 3, 1968, just before he was killed, Martin delivered his last public address. In it he spoke of the visit he and I made to Israel. Moreover, he spoke to us about his vision of the Promised Land, a land of justice and equality, brotherhood and peace. Martin dedicated his life to the goals of peace and unity among all peoples, and perhaps nowhere in the world is there a greater appreciation of the desirability and necessity of peace than in Israel.
 * As quoted in Jewish Currents, Vol. 52, (April 1998), p 13

 * The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members ... a heart of grace and a soul generated by love.
 * Address at Georgia State University (15 February 2000)

 * We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. I say "common struggle" because I believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking Americans everywhere. Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation is surely a fundamental human right in any great democracy, as much as freedom from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination.
 * "Creating Change" conference of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Atlanta, Georgia (9 November 2000)
 * We have to launch a national campaign against homophobia in the black community
 * Reuters (8 June 2001)

 * I'm fulfilled in what I do... I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes — the finer things of life — would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.
 * As quoted in Mary Lou Retton's Gateways to Happiness (2000) by Mary Lou Retton, David Bender, p. 213

 * Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.
 * As quoted in Understanding Cultural Diversity in Today's Complex World (2006) by Leo Parvis, p. 54

 * There is a Mrs. King. There is also Coretta. How one became detached from the other remains a mystery to me. Most people who have followed my career from afar, or even given me a second thought, know me as Mrs. King: the wife of, the widow of, the mother of, the leader of. Makes me sound like the attachments that come with my vacuum cleaner. In one sense, I don't mind that at all. I'm proud to have been a wife, a single parent, and a leader. But I am more than a label. I am also Coretta. Isn't it time you know the integrated, holistic woman: one spirit, one soul, one destiny? In reading this memoir, I hope somehow you see Coretta.

 * Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation. That is what we have not taught young people, or older ones for that matter. You do not finally win a state of freedom that is protected forever. It doesn't work that way.
 * p. xiii

 * There is a spirit and a need and a man at the beginning of every great human advance. Every one of these must be right for that particular moment of history, or nothing happens.
 * Ch. 6

 * Because his task was not finished, I felt that I must re-dedicate myself to the completion of his work.

Quotes about Coretta Scott King

 * Coretta King said the greatest violence is seeing a child go to bed hungry. These are the great violences: assaults on the body and soul.
 * 1974 interview in Conversations with Maya Angelou edited by Jeffrey M. Elliot (1989)

 * In the midst of national tumult, in the medium of international violent uproar, Coretta Scott King's face remained a study in serenity. In times of interior violent storms she sat, her hands resting in her lap calmly, like good children sleeping. Her passion was never spent in public display. She offered her industry and her energies to action, toward righting ancient and current wrongs in this world. She believed religiously in non-violent protest. She believed it could heal a nation mired in a history of slavery and all its excesses. She believed non-violent protest religiously could lift up a nation rife with racial prejudices and racial bias. She was a quintessential African-American woman, born in the small town repressive South, born of flesh and destined to become iron, born -- born a cornflower and destined to become a steel magnolia. She loved her church fervently. She loved and adored her husband and her children. She cherished her race. She cherished women. She cared for the conditions of human beings, of native Americans and Latin -- Latinos and Asian Americans. She cared for gay and straight people. She was concerned for the struggles in Ireland, and she prayed for nightly for Palestine and equally for Israel...Many times on those late after -- evenings she would say to me, "Sister, it shouldn't be an 'either-or', should it? Peace and justice should belong to all people, everywhere, all the time. Isn't that right?" And I said then and I say now, "Coretta Scott King, you're absolutely right. I do believe that peace and justice should belong to every person, everywhere, all the time."
 * Maya Angelou Speaking at her funeral (2/7/2006)

 * Coretta Scott King not only secured her husband's legacy, she built her own … Having loved a leader, she became a leader, and when she spoke, Americans listened closely.
 * US President George W. Bush, as quoted in "She Is Deeply Missed" CBS News (11 February 2009)

 * The visitors were a tremendous support. I talked to about 150 the 1st Saturday and about 300 the 2nd Saturday. A lot were women. It gives you a tremendous feeling. I was very happy that Coretta King, Ethel Kennedy and Bishop Flores came. They did a lot of good for me spiritually and an awful lot of good to the people.
 * Cesar Chavez December 1970 interview with El Malcriado after release from incarceration, anthologized in An Organizer’s Tale (2008)

 * Who is a revolutionary woman? A revolutionary woman wants change, not mere cosmetic change but change to the status quo, and she is willing to sacrifice to make this happen. We have some extraordinary examples: Sojourner Truth, Las Adelitas, Frida Kahlo, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Dorothy Day, Malala Yousafzai, Coretta Scott King, and others.
 * Dolores Huerta "Reflections on Revolutionary Women" in Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico by Kathy Sosa (2020)

 * Many people don’t know that my mother was the driving force that kept my father’s legacy at the forefront of American consciousness. Dr. King was a great man, a scholar, philosopher, theologian, orator—a leader with character and integrity. But in 1968 there was no guarantee that he would be in the annals of history the way that he is today had it not been for her solidifying his legacy. It was her primary goal to institutionalize his work, and she was the architect of the King legacy as we know it today. The King Center was a way for her to codify the methodology and ideology of the movement and give it longevity. Even with respect to the holiday in January, she worked to define it beyond memorializing him. She created the idea of a day “on,” as opposed to a day “off.” She wanted it to become a holiday of community service so that people felt connected to his work and understood that the struggle continues. She believed that sacrifice is not something that is unrewarding. And ultimately, she wanted his legacy to expand into the realm of human rights. The journey began with civil rights for African Americans, but that was only just the beginning.
 * Bernice King. interview with The Root (2014)

 * I am indebted to my wife Coretta, without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty neither life nor work would bring fulfillment. She has given me words of consolation when I needed them and a well-ordered home where Christian love is a reality.
 * The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. (1998)

Talk:Fahrenheit 9/11

I've been happily clicking the 'Random page' link and reading for a while - and thereby came to this article which seemed to stand out. I have to ask: Is there a reasonable standard for a quotation? All the rest I've read, if not short and pithy (or just funny), are historically significant. With some exceptions, those offered here seem to be someone's attempt further a view by quoting long passages of narrative.

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 Grego. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Grego~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 23:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Schoolhouse Rock!

Appropriate for WQ?
I'm not sure that the contents of this article are appropriate for WQ, particularly since the songs still have many years to go on copyright. Can the contributor(s) please clarify the amount of work quoted here relative to the complete songs? 121a0012 05:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Each of the quotes represent a single stanza or the chorus of these songs. They are a fraction of the entire song. If these are deemed in copyright violation, they can certainly be shortened even further, but I didn't feel that I was in danger of that when I created this page. ~ UDScott 14:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

A few months' (semi-)protection against trolls/vandals is not going to stop them. This article and talk page need indefinite protection. DawgDeputy (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
