Murray Bookchin

Murray Bookchin (14 January 1921 – 30 July 2006) was an American social theorist, author, orator, historian, and political philosopher.

Quotes

 * An anarchist society, far from being a remote ideal, has become a precondition for the practice of ecological principles.
 * Ecology and Revolutionary Thought (1965).

 * Our Being is Becoming, not stasis. Our Science is Utopia, our Reality is Eros, our Desire is Revolution.
 * Desire and Need (1967).

 * When cybernated and automatic machinery can reduce toil to the near vanishing point, nothing is more meaningless to young people than a lifetime of toil. When modern industry can provide abundance for all, nothing is more vicious to poor people than a lifetime of poverty. When all the resources exist to promote social equality, nothing is more criminal to ethnic minorities, women and homosexuals than subjugation.
 * Post-Scarcity Anarchism (1971), introduction to the First Edition (p. vii of the third edition, 2004)

 * The American left today as I know it—and believe me, I am very familiar with the American left—is going toward authoritarianism, toward totalitarianism. It's becoming the real right in the United States. We don't have an appreciable American left any more in the United States. What I saw of the  SDS in the '60s was very abhorrent to me: Marxism, Leninism, almost the KGB mentality—a police politics that I found completely totalitarian in nature. And in Europe, I would say that today the real support for State power and totalitarianism comes from the Communist parties and the Socialist parties and, where they are sizable, the Trotskyist groups. They are the ones that really frighten me.
 * “Reason Interview: Murray Bookchin: A controversial anarchist talks about government, the Libertarian Party, Ayn Rand, and the evolution of his own ideas”, Leslee J. Newman, Reason magazine, (October 1979) pp. 34-39.
 * People who resist authority, who defend the rights of the individual, who try in a period of increasing totalitarianism and centralization to reclaim these rights—this is the true left in the United States. Whether they are anarcho-communists, anarcho-syndicalists, or libertarians who believe in free enterprise, I regard theirs as the real legacy of the left, and I feel much closer, ideologically, to such individuals than I do to the totalitarian liberals and Marxist-Leninists of today.
 * “Reason Interview: Murray Bookchin: A controversial anarchist talks about government, the Libertarian Party, Ayn Rand, and the evolution of his own ideas”, Leslee J. Newman, Reason magazine, (October 1979) pp. 34-39.

 * I have no quarrel with libertarians who advance the concept of capitalism of the type that you have advanced. I believe that people will decide for themselves what they want to do. The all-important thing is that they be free to make that decision and that they do not stand in the way of communities that wish to make other decisions. I could live beautifully in a society of the kind that you have described, as well as in a collectivistic one. However, if that collectivistic one assumed any totalitarian forms, any authoritarian forms whatever, I would oppose that. And not only that: I would join your community in fighting it. Let me make it very plain that if socialism, which is what I call the authoritarian version of collectivism, were to emerge, I would join your community. I would migrate to your community and do everything I could to prevent the collectivists from abridging my right to function as I like. That should be made very clear.
 * “Reason Interview: Murray Bookchin: A controversial anarchist talks about government, the Libertarian Party, Ayn Rand, and the evolution of his own ideas”, Leslee J. Newman, Reason magazine, (October 1979) pp. 34-39
 * Without changing the most molecular relationships in society — notably, those between men and women, adults and children, whites and other ethnic groups, heterosexuals and gays (the list, in fact, is considerable) — society will be riddled by domination even in a socialistic 'classless' and 'non-exploitative' form. It would be infused by hierarchy even as it celebrated the dubious virtues of 'people's democracies,' 'socialism' and the 'public ownership' of 'natural resources.' And as long as hierarchy persists, as long as domination organises humanity around a system of elites, the project of dominating nature will continue to exist and inevitably lead our planet to ecological extinction.
 * Toward an Ecological Society (1980).

 * The ecological principle of unity in diversity grades into a richly mediated social principle; hence my use of the term social ecology.
 * What Is Social Ecology? (1984).

 * To speak of 'limits to growth' under a capitalistic market economy is as meaningless as to speak of limits of warfare under a warrior society. The moral pieties, that are voiced today by many well-meaning environmentalists, are as naive as the moral pieties of multinationals are manipulative. Capitalism can no more be 'persuaded' to limit growth than a human being can be 'persuaded' to stop breathing. Attempts to 'green' capitalism, to make it 'ecological', are doomed by the very nature of the system as a system of endless growth.
 * Remaking Society (1990).

 * The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
 * "The Meaning of Confederalism," Green Perspectives, no. 20 (1990).

Listen, Marxist!

 * Once again the dead are walking in our midst- ironically, draped in the name of Marx, the man who tried to bury the dead of the nineteenth century.
 * For these people to call themselves reds and describe attacks upon them as redbaiting is a form of McCarthyism in reverse. To rephrase Trotsky's juicy description of Stalinism, they are the syphilis of the radical youth movement today. And for syphilis there is only one treatment-an antibiotic, not an argument.
 * We argue that the problem is not to "abandon"Marxism or to "annul" it,but to transcend it dialectically, just as Marx transcended Hegelian philosophy, Ricardian economics, and Blanquist tactics and modes of organization.
 * Abject misery alone does not produce revolutions; more often than not, it produces an aimless demoralization, or worse, a private, personalized struggle to survive.
 * Not only did Lenin oppose direct workers' control within a matter of weeks after the decree of November 14, even union control came to an end shortly after it had been established. By the summer of 1918, almost all of Russian industry had been placed under bourgeois forms of management.
 * It would be incredibly naive to suppose that Leninism was the product of a single man. The disease lies much deeper, not only in the limitations of Marxian theory but in the limitations of the social era that produced Marxism.
 * This pursuit of security in the past, this attempt to find a haven in a fixed dogma and an organizational hierarchy as substitutes for creative thought and praxis is bitter evidence of how little many revolutionaries are capable of 'revolutionizing themselves and things,' much less of revolutionizing society as a whole. The deep-rooted conservatism of the People's Labor Party 'revolutionaries' is almost painfully evident; the authoritarian leader and hierarchy replace the patriarch and the school bureaucracy; the discipline of the Movement replaces the discipline of bourgeois society; the authoritarian code of political obedience replaces the state; the credo of 'proletarian morality' replaces the mores of puritanism and the work ethic. The old substance of exploitative society reappears in new forms, draped in a red flag, decorated by portraits of Mao (or Castro or Che) and adorned with the little 'Red Book' and other sacred litanies.
 * "Listen, Marxist!" (May 1969); also available in Post Scarcity Anarchism (1971).
 * Listen, Marxist: The organization we try to build is the kind of society our revolution will create. Either we will shed the past - in ourselves as well as in our groups - or there will simply be no future to win.

The Ecology of Freedom (1982)

 * Nor do piecemeal steps however well intended, even partially resolve problems that have reached a universal, global and catastrophic character. If anything, partial 'solutions' serve merely as cosmetics to conceal the deep seated nature of the ecological crisis. They thereby deflect public attention and theoretical insight from an adequate understanding of the depth and scope of the necessary changes.

 * If we recognise that every ecosystem can also be viewed as a food web, we can think of it as a circular, interlacing nexus of plant animal relationships (rather than a stratified pyramid with man at the apex)... Each species, be it a form of bacteria or deer, is knitted together in a network of interdependence, however indirect the links may be.
 * Page 26 of the 1991 reprint

 * If we do not do the impossible, we shall be faced with the unthinkable.
 * Page 107 of the 2005 reprint.

Anarchism in America (15 January 1983)

 * Directed by Steven Fischler and Joel Sucher.

 * Almost anyone, I suppose, can call himself or herself an anarchist, if he or she believed that the society could be managed without the state. And by the state—I don't mean the absence of any institutions, the absence of any form of social organisation—the state really refers to a professional apparatus of people who are set aside to manage society, to preëmpt the control of society from the people. So that would include the military, judges, politicians, representatives who are paid for the express purpose of legislating, and then an executive body that is also set aside from society. So anarchists generally believe that, whether as groups or individuals, people should directly run society.

 * I had entered the communist children's movement, an organisation called the Young Pioneers of America, in 1930 in New York City; I was only nine years of age. And I'd gone through the entire '30s as a—Stalinist—initially, and then increasingly as someone who was more and more sympathetic to Trotskyism. And by 1939, after having seen Hitler rise to power, the Austrian workers revolt of 1934 (an almost completely forgotten episode in labour history), the Spanish revolution by which I mean the so-called Spanish civil war—I finally became utterly disillusioned with Stalinism, and drifted increasingly toward Trotskyism. And by 1945, I, finally, also became disillusioned with Trotskyism; and I would say, now, increasingly with Marxism and Leninism.

 * The basic problem I really have is that whenever I meet leftists in the socialist and Marxist movements, I'm called a petit-bourgeois individualist. [audience laughs]  I'm supposed to shrink after this— Usually I'm called petit-bourgeois individualist by students, and by academicians, who’ve never done a days work life [sic] in their entire biography, whereas I have spent years in factories and the trade unions, in foundries and auto plants. So after I have to swallow the word petit-bourgeois, I don't mind the word individualist at all! I believe in individual freedom; that's my primary and complete commitment—individual liberty. That’s what it's all about. And that's what socialism was supposed to be about, or anarchism was supposed to be about, and tragically has been betrayed. And when I normally encounter my so-called colleagues on the left—socialists, Marxists, communists—they tell me that, after the revolution, they're gonna shoot me.  [audience laughs, Murray nods]  That is said with unusual consistency. They're gonna stand me and Karl up against the wall and get rid of us real fast; I feel much safer in your company.  [audience laughs and applauds]
 * In this clip, Murray Bookchin is speaking to a crowd of anarcho-capitalists and other libertarians at a Libertarian Party Conference. Karl Hess is sitting next to Bookchin at the table.

Quotes about Bookchin

 * Describing his concept of an ecological society, Bookchin blithely spoke of killing animals for food, hunting, and other human purposes. He thereby typifies the entire left spectrum, which is unable to escape speciesist social conditioning to grasp that human and nonhuman animals have equal interests in freedom, happiness, and life over captivity, suffering, and death. Like Marx, Bookchin embraced the Cartesian-mechanistic view of animals as dumb creatures devoid of any complex consciousness or social life. In Bookchin's terms, animals belong to the non-reflexive world of "first nature," along with rocks, trees, and other insensate objects, and he reserved the self-conscious and creative world of "second nature" for humans. For as social evolution phased out of biological evolution, humans alone, he claimed, made the ascent from instinct and mere sensation to self-consciousness, language, and reasoning.
 * Steven Best, The Politics of Total Liberation: Revolution for the 21st Century (2014), pp. 95-96

 * Left anticommunists remained studiously unimpressed by the dramatic gains won by masses of previously impoverished people under communism. Some were even scornful of such accomplishments. I recall how in Burlington Vermont, in 1971, the noted anticommunist anarchist, Murray Bookchin, derisively referred to my concern for "the poor little children who got fed under communism" (his words).
 * Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism (1997), p. 45

 * [Professor Jennifer] Burns doesn't seem to understand that when leftists, or conservatives or liberals for that matter, refer to capitalism, they don't mean what Ayn Rand meant by it. They mean the system that is otherwise known as mercantilism, corporatism, state capitalism, or even fascism—a system in which huge corporations, aided by the state, dominate a heavily-regulated and centrally-directed economy. This is what both conservatives and liberals advocate, this is what the New Left opposed. One New Left guru, the late Murray Bookchin, told me thirty years ago in Boston that he had no quarrel with what Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard meant by the term capitalism, a system in which people divide their labour, specialise in producing certain goods and services, and trade among themselves. Bookchin told me that he would say that that is not capitalism, though there are many different definitions.

Henry Jenner (8 August 1848 – 8 May 1934) was a Celtic scholar, Cornish cultural activist, and chief originator of the Cornish language revival.

Sourced

 * Why should Cornishmen learn Cornish? There is no money in it, it serves no practical purpose, and the literature is scanty and of no great originality or value. The question is a fair one, the answer is simple. Because they are Cornish.
 * Freethespirit.

 * There has never been a time when there has been no person in Cornwall without a knowledge of the Cornish language.

Quotes

 * Look around you. Everywhere. They are there. In every home - lurking in dark corners … small, bi-pedal entities with almost human brains play their games in which adults are the pawns. They play and wait for the time when they will take over the world!

Benny O'Donnell

 * [on public address system, to junior high students] Okay, all you freshman fucks, listen up!, Today's your lucky day, Normally you'd be spending your freshman summer getting your asses busted, and running for your worthless little lives. But today, since we feel so sorry for you, we're gonna make it easy on ya; gonna save us all a lotta time. If you meet us here, right here, after school today, y'all only get one "lick" from each of us. But if you run like cowards, well, it's open season, all summer long, boys. Oh, and Mitch Kramer. Mitchy-Mitchy-Mitchy-Mitchy...We're lookin' for you, pal. Your ass'll be purple before the day's over. Have a nice afternoon. [kisses CB mic]
 * You just wasted another fucking beer!

Others

 * Ms. Ginny Stroud: Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.

 * Carl Burnett: We're not in Junior High any more. We're freshmen. We're in the big time now... where the girls will be puttin' out all the time.

Dialogue

 * Kaye: You know, you guys were in class trying to list all the Gilligan's Island episodes without even a hint of irony.
 * Shavonne: What the hell are you talking about, girl?
 * Kaye: You weren't thinking about it, were you?
 * Shavonne: Gilligan's Island?
 * Kaye: It's what's called a male pornographic fantasy.
 * Shavonne: Oh my...
 * Kaye: Think about it. You're basically alone on a deserted island with two readily available women. One a seductive sex-godess type, the other a healthy girl-next-door type with a nice butt. So guys have it all, the madonna and the whore. Women get nothing; we get a geek, an overweight middle-aged guy, some nerdy scientific type, I mean...
 * Jodi: The professor... is sexy.

 * Jodi: Hey, I got a favor to ask you guys. You know my little brother?
 * Benny: Yeah, Mitch Kramer.
 * Jodi: Yeah, Mitch Kramer. Well, take it easy on him this summer will ya?
 * Pink: Don't worry sis, little brother's safe with us.
 * Jodi: Well, just don't get him worse than the other guys. He's kinda little.
 * Benny: OK. I promise.
 * [As Jodi walks off, Benny swats her on the butt with his paddle]
 * Jodi: [giggles] Benny! These guys, I don’t know... [leaves]
 * Dawson: There was just a little bit of bullshit in all that, right?
 * Benny: Major bullshit. He's a dead man. He’s fuckin’ dead!

 * Tony: [describing his dream] So there I am, getting it on with this perfect female body and...
 * Mike: What?
 * Tony: I can't say.
 * Mike: No, you can't give a build-up like that and not deliver. You know, a perfect female body, it’s not a bad start.
 * Tony: But with the head of Abraham Lincoln. With the hat and the beard, everything. [pause] Well, best not to think too deep on it.
 * Mike: Best not.
 * Tony: Look, I'll see you later.
 * Mike: See you later. [shaking his head] Sorry.

 * Wooderson: Say, man, you got a joint?
 * Mitch: Ah no, not on me, man.
 * Wooderson: It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

 * Wooderson: I've been thinkin' about gettin' back in school, though, man.
 * Dawson: What, like, J.C. or something like that?
 * Wooderson: Yeah, man, that's where all the girls are, right? But I'd just as soon keep workin', though, keep a little change in my pocket. Better than listenin' to some dipshit, doesn't know what the hell he's talkin' about, anyway!
 * Dawson: I know what you're talkin' about, man!
 * Wooderson: [to Mitch] So, you're a freshman, right? Tell me, man, how's this year's crop of freshman chicks lookin' this year?
 * Dawson: Wood, you're gonna go to jail very soon, man!
 * Wooderson: Naw, man. That's what I like about these high school girls; I get older, they stay the same age.
 * Dawson: Yes, they do.
 * Wooderson: Yes, they do.

 * Cynthia: God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?
 * Tony: Yeah I know, like it's all preparation.
 * Cynthia: Right. But what are we preparing ourselves for?
 * Mike: Death.
 * Tony: Life of the party.
 * Mike: It's true.
 * Cynthia: You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.

 * Mike: Look, I've got a confession to make.
 * Tony: What do you mean a confession?
 * Mike: You know how for like the last year or so I've been talking about going to law school so I can become a ACLU lawyer to be in a position to help people getting fucked over and all that? Well I'm standing in line at the post office yesterday, you know, and I'm looking around and everybody's looking really pathetic. You know what I mean? Like people have just got drool sticking there, and like this guy's bending over and you can see the crack of his ass. It was all just, like, wife beaters, it was.. Anyway, I realize that I just don't want to do it. You know what I mean? It sounds good and all, but I just have to confront the fact that I really don't like the people I've been talking about helping out. You know what I'm saying? I don't like people period. I mean you guys are okay. I don't know. I'm just trying to be honest about being a misanthrope.
 * Tony: So you're not going to law school? What do you want to do?
 * Mike: I wanna dance!

 * Slater: [climbing the Moon Tower] This place used to be off limits, man, 'cause some drunk freshman fell off. He went right down the middle, smacking his head on every beam, man. I hear it doesn't hurt after the first couple though. Autopsy said he had one beer. How many did you have?
 * Mitch: Four.
 * Slater: You're dead, man. You're so dead. Look at the blood stains right there.

 * Kyle: George toked weed, man?
 * Slater: Absolutely George toked weed, are you kiddin' me, man? He grew fields of that stuff, man, that's what I'm talkin' about. Fields.
 * Kyle: He grew that shit up at Mount Vernon, man.
 * Slater: Mount Vernon, man? He grew it all over the country, man. He had people growin' it all over the country, you know. The whole country back then was gettin' high. Lemme tell you, man, 'cause he knew he was onto somethin', man. He knew that it would be a good cash crop for the southern states, man, so he grew fields of it, man. But you know what? Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man. When he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man.

 * Jodi: Hey. Little brother. Is that a beer in your hand?
 * Mitch: Why, yes it is.
 * Jodi: Have you had more than one of those tonight?
 * Mitch: Ah, a few, I guess. Nobody’s counting.
 * Jodi: [to Julie] Hey.
 * Julie: Hey, how’s it going? [to Kaye] Hi.
 * Jodi: Guess I might as well get used to seeing you at the same social functions as me, huh? And uh ,hanging out with people I know? [they laugh] Oh, and what time were you supposed to be home anyway?
 * Mitch: Oh jeez, I don’t know. A couple of hours ago, I guess.
 * Jodi: That’s bullshit. That's major bullshit. You know, Mom barely let me out of the house when I was your age?
 * Mitch: Aww.
 * Jodi: Aww. Hey, don't think for a minute she’s not going to be waiting up for you when you get home. 'Cause she will be. I’ve been through it. And she is tough.
 * Mitch: Just don't ask her to take it easy on me.
 * Jodi: [laughs] What’s that supposed to mean? Take it easy on him?
 * Kaye: Let’s go smoke that joint.
 * Jodi: He is in for a surprise.

 * Pink: All I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life - remind me to kill myself.
 * Dawson: Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place... Dogged as many chicks as I could while I was stuck in this place.
 * Shavonne: Whatever, Mr. Premature Ejaculation!

 * Coach Conrad: Come here, Randy. Come here. You been out with those losers all night?
 * Slater: Hey, Coach Conrad. Remember me? Second-period gym class?
 * Coach Conrad: That's the kind of people I was tellin' you about. Trouble like this means nothing to those clowns. You're the one with something to lose.
 * Pink: Coach, you don't even know them. How can you even pretend to talk that way?
 * Coach Conrad: Okay, Randy. I shouldn't do this, but I'm willing to wipe the slate clean and forget about this. I want you to get your priorities straight, quit hanging out with those hoodlums and sign your commitment to your team. Have you done that yet?
 * Pink: I'm still thinkin' about it.
 * Coach Conrad: No one's paying you to think about it, just do it, son!
 * Pink: You know, Coach, I gotta get goin'. Me and my "loser" friends, you know, we gotta get Aerosmith tickets. Top priority of the summer. Oh, and Coach, I forgot. I might play ball. But I will never sign that!

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 BladesCrusade. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name BladesCrusade~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is a Star Wars first-person shooter/third-person action computer game released in September 2003. It was developed by Raven Software and published, distributed, and marketed by LucasArts in North America and by Activision in the rest of the world.

Jaden Korr

 * You don't look like much of a captive, Rosh! Did you dream this up, or was it Tavion's idea?
 * You tried to kill me! And now you've lured me into a trap!
 * How do I know you won't betray me again!? You're always trying to beat me! How do I know this isn't just another trick?!

Light Side Ending

 * I'm sorry, Rosh, you're right. I almost let my anger get the best of me.  Let's get out of here.
 * Stand down, Alora! You were no match for me on Hoth, and now, I am a Jedi Knight!
 * Thank you, but it was Rosh who made me realize what the right choice was. Tell him that when he wakes up.
 * You're delusional! Kyle told me all about you, how you went crawling away after he defeated you!
 * That's Jedi KNIGHT, Ragnos!
 * It's over. Ragnos will not be resurected. The scepter has been destroyed.
 * (When asked about Tavion) Dead. Ragnos had possessed her. Her body couldn't withstand the corruption. When I destroyed the scepter and Ragnos left her body, There was nothing left.
 * Thank you, Master Skywalker. But I couldn't have done it without Kyle.
 * As luck would have it, I am! (after Kyle asks if Jaden is ready for another mission)

Rosh Penin

 * Jaden, stay back! Please...don't...hurt me!
 * Jaden, I was scared... You have to believe me, we're-we're friends, remember? Let's get out of here before Alora comes back!
 * Wait!! Listen to what you're saying!! You-you're angry! Don't give into it. That leads to the Dark Side, right?

Light Side Ending

 * (after Jaden spares him) *sigh of relief* Thank you, Jaden.
 * I'll be... (falls unconscious)

Kyle Katarn

 * Kyle Katarn, at your service. Welcome to a day in the life of a Jedi. ''(after finding Jaden unconscious)
 * Stay here and investigate? I'd love to.
 * We've been looking into the shuttle crash, and it doesn't seem like a mechanical failure or laser damage was responsible. It's almost as if something just... tore apart the engines.
 * Remember, abilities aren't inherently good or evil... it's how you use them.
 * (to Jaden when he is about attack Rosh) Jaden... don't do it.
 * He only fell to the Dark Side because he was scared, afraid of dying. Put away your saber!
 * Jaden! You're better than that! Don't give into your anger! Rosh is telling the truth!

Light Side Ending

 * Sith Spit! I need to get him to a bacta tank. Go to Korriban and help Luke and the others. I'll be there as soon as I can.
 * Jaden, I sensed your struggle with the Dark Side. I'm glad you made the right choice.
 * (after being thanked by Jaden) Don't get all mushy on me, kid. C'mon, let's get outta here.

Luke Skywalker

 * I'd like to welcome all of our new students to the Jedi Academy. Here we will train you in ways of the Force. You will learn to defend yourself with a lightsaber. You will also study diplomacy, history and more.
 * Rosh Penin, you will be asigned to Master Katarn. Jaden Korr, you'll also work with Master Katarn. Now, let's begin with your first lessons, and may the Force be with you.

Light Side Ending

 * Jaden, you did more than we could have ever hoped. You have become a true Jedi.
 * I've heard from the New Republic. The Imperials supporting the Disciples of Ragnos have been defeated have been rounded up. It seems they lost their power when the scepter was destroyed.
 * Rosh, I hope your experience has taught you the patience and humility that may one day will turn you into a great Jedi.
 * Jaden, you fought bravely, resisted the Dark Side, and saved another Jedi from certain death. You will be a valuable member of the Jedi Order.

Dialogue

 * [Start of the dark side ending of the game]
 * Rosh Penin: Jaden, no! Let go of your anger!
 * Jaden Korr: Why should I?! You yourself said how powerful the dark side was.
 * Rosh Penin: I was wrong!
 * Jaden Korr: No. You were weak!
 * Rosh Penin: Jaden, NO!
 * [Jaden ignites his/her lightsaber, impaling Rosh. Jaden then drops Rosh and turns to leave.]
 * Alora: Well done, Jedi. You have become one of us!
 * Jaden Korr: No!
 * Alora: Join us! With Ragnos as our ruler, we can serve him and rule the galaxy!
 * Jaden Korr: Join you?! Why should I trade one master for another? The Scepter of Ragnos is too powerful to be left in the hands of someone as weak as Tavion. If anything, it should belong to me!
 * Alora: Oh, you think so!
 * Jaden Korr: You, on the other hand, are useless. I should have killed you on Hoth!
 * Alora: You won't get a second chance. Tavion has taught me much since then.
 * [Jaden fights and kills Alora, then leaves. Kyle Katarn arrives, and Rosh sits up.]
 * Rosh Penin: K... Kyle?
 * Kyle Katarn: Rosh!
 * Rosh Penin: I'm sorry... Jaden has turned... you've lost... both your students.
 * [Rosh nearly falls, but Kyle catches him.]
 * Kyle Katarn: No. You are a Jedi.
 * Rosh Penin: Thank... you... [dies]
 * Kyle Katarn: But I've still lost Jaden. Where did [he/she] go? [Realizes] Oh, no! I've got to get to Korriban!

 * Jaden Korr: Tavion! Give me the scepter!
 * Tavion: Ah, Kyle's good student... or is it? I sense the Dark Side in you. Are you here to witness the resurrection?
 * Jaden Korr: No. I'm here to kill you; something my old master couldn't do.
 * Tavion: But why? With Ragnos reborn, the Jedi will be wiped out, and we can serve him as he rules the galaxy!
 * Jaden Korr: I will no longer 'serve' anyone! I will have the scepter and its power for myself! Now, give it to me!
 * Tavion: Impudent whelp! I will enjoy slaying you!
 * [Jaden defeats Tavion; she falls to her knees, disarmed.]
 * Tavion: I will not cower... as I did before Katarn. Finish it. Kill me!
 * [Swinging his/her lightsaber, Jaden kills Tavion. Kyle arrives just as Jaden reaches down to pick up the Scepter of Ragnos]
 * Kyle Katarn: Jaden, stop!
 * Jaden Korr: Don't get in my way, Kyle!
 * Kyle Katarn: Jaden, I know you're angry, but it's not too late to renounce the Dark Side. Tavion and her cult have been stopped; we can end this here!
 * Jaden Korr: Ohh, no. This is just the beginning!
 * Kyle Katarn: Jaden, the lure of the Dark Side is strong, but it will ultimately destroy you! Fight it! Rosh resisted it, you can too!
 * Jaden Korr: Rosh was weak! He was too afraid to grasp the true power of the Dark Side!
 * Kyle Katarn: I can't let you do this, Jaden...
 * Jaden Korr: Then stop me, 'Master'!

 * Luke Skywalker: [after finding Kyle buried under some rubble] Kyle, what happened here?
 * Kyle Katarn: Jaden has turned to the Dark Side, and [he's/she's] taken the scepter.
 * Luke Skywalker: And Rosh?
 * Kyle Katarn: Dead. Jaden killed him. [He/She] felt betrayed by Rosh and the anger was too great for [him/her] to control.
 * Luke Skywalker: I... misjudged [him/her]. I'm sorry, Kyle.
 * Kyle Katarn: I've failed both my students, Luke. Maybe I shouldn't be teaching at the academy. It's not as if I've been the perfect Jedi myself.
 * Luke Skywalker: No, Kyle. Yoda and Ben were great teachers, yet even they lost students. I can still sense good in [him/her]. There's always hope, Kyle. Remember that.
 * Kyle Katarn: You may be right. Well, at least Tavion and her cult have been stopped. Ragnos won't be coming back.
 * Luke Skywalker: But the scepter is too powerful. We must find Jaden and destroy it.
 * Kyle Katarn: I'll take care of it. As my student, Jaden is my responsibility. I'm taking a leave of absence from the academy for a while. If I find Jaden, I'll let you know.
 * Luke Skywalker: Be careful. If there's anything I can do to help...
 * Kyle Katarn: I will.
 * Luke Skywalker: And may the Force be with you, Kyle.

E. L. Doctorow

Edgar Lawrence Doctorow (6 January 1931 - July 21, 2015) is an American author of several critically acclaimed novels that blend history and social criticism. He held the Glucksman Chair in American Letters at New York University.

Quotes

 * Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.
 * The New York Times (20 October 1985)

 * Planning to write is not writing. Outlining ...researching ...talking to people about what you’re doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing.
 * The New York Times (20 October 1985)

 * There is no longer any such thing as fiction or nonfiction; there’s only narrative.
 * New York Times Book Review (27 January 1988)

 * You can’t remember sex. You can remember the fact of it, and recall the setting, and even the details, but the sex of the sex cannot be remembered, the substantive truth of it, it is by nature self-erasing, you can remember its anatomy and be left with a judgment as to the degree of your liking of it, but whatever it is as a splurge of being, as a loss, as a charge of the conviction of love stopping your heart like your execution, there is no memory of it in the brain, only the deduction that it happened and that time passed, leaving you with a silhouette that you want to fill in again.
 * Billy Bathgate (1989), Ch. 16

 * Murders are exciting and lift people into a heart-beating awe as religion is supposed to do, after seeing one in the street young couples will go back to bed and make love, people will cross themselves and thank God for the gift of their stuporous lives, old folks will talk to each other over cups of hot water with lemon because murders are enlivened sermons to be analyzed and considered and relished, they speak to the timid of the dangers of rebellion, murders are perceived as momentary descents of God and so provide joy and hope and righteous satisfaction to parishioners, who will talk about them for years afterward to anyone who will listen.
 * Billy Bathgate (1989), Ch. 19

 * Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.
 * International Herald Tribune (1 October 1990)

 * The historian will tell you what happened. The novelist will tell you what it felt like.
 * Time (26 June 2006)

Interview in Writers at Work (1988)

 * Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

 * It’s like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
 * On his writing style

 * In the twentieth century one of the most personal relationships to have developed is that of the person and the state... It’s become a fact of life that governments have become very intimate with people, most always to their detriment.

 * History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.

 * I try to avoid experience if I can. Most experience is bad.

 * The writer isn’t made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.

Quotes about

 * The energy of American Jewish writers was so charged, so buoyant, that for a time they appeared to dominate American fiction. But there was so little Jewish energy in this art that one could invent parlor games over the ethnic or religious identity of its authors: Edna Ferber? Waldo Frank? Lillian Hellman? Nathanael West? Norman Mailer? E. L. Doctorow?
 * Ruth Wisse The Modern Jewish Canon (2000)

Human nature

Human Nature refers to the distinguishing characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting, that humans tend to have naturally, independently of the influence of culture.

A

 * Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education.
 * Henry Adams, The Education of Henry Adams (1907), Chapter XII

 * All men by nature desire to know; the proof of this is the pleasure caused by sensations, for even apart from the usefulness, we enjoy them for themselves, and visual sensations more than the others.
 * Aristotle, Metaphysics 980b22, in Complete Works, vol. 2, p. 1552

 * Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.
 * Jane Austen (1841) Emma: A Novel. p. 159

B

 * Everyone who achieves strives for totality, and the value of his achievement lies in that totality—that is, in the fact that the whole, undivided nature of a human being should be expressed in his achievement. But when determined by our society, as we see it today, achievement does not express a totality; it is completely fragmented and derivative. It is not uncommon for the community to be the site where a joint and covert struggle is waged against higher ambitions and more personal goals. ... The socially relevant achievement of the average person serves in the vast majority of cases to repress the original and nonderivative, inner aspirations of the human being.
 * Walter Benjamin, "The Life of Students" (1915), as translated by R. Livingstone, in Walter Benjamin: Selected Writings – vol. 1: 1913-1926, ed. Michael William Jennings, Harvard University Press, 1996, p. 39

C

 * One man talks continually about the particular actions of this or another neighbor; whilst another looks beyond the acts to the inward principle from which they spring, and gathers from them larger views of human nature. In a word, one man sees all things apart and in fragments, whilst another strives to discover the harmony, connection, unity of all. One of the great evils of society is, that men, occupied perpetually with petty details, want general truths, want broad and fixed principles.
 * William Ellery Channing, “Self-Culture”

 * Before all other things, man is distinguished by his pursuit and investigation of Truth. And hence, when free from needful business and cares, we delight to see, to hear, and to communicate, and consider a knowledge of many admirable and abstruse things necessary to the good conduct and happiness of our lives: whence it is clear that whatsoever is True, simple, and direct, the same is most congenial to our nature as men. Closely allied with this earnest longing to see and know the truth, is a kind of dignified and princely sentiment which forbids a mind, naturally well constituted, to submit its faculties to any but those who announce it in precept or in doctrine, or to yield obedience to any orders but such as are at once just, lawful, and founded on utility. From this source spring greatness of mind and contempt of worldly advantages and troubles.
 * Cicero, De Officiis, Book 1, § 13

 * It is essential to every inquiry about duty that we keep before our eyes how far superior man is by nature to cattle and other beasts: they have no thought except for sensual pleasure and this they are impelled by every instinct to seek; but man's mind is nurtured by study and meditation.
 * Cicero, De Officiis, Book 1, § 105

 * Nature outweighing art begets roughness; art outweighing nature begets pedantry. Art and nature well blent make a gentleman.
 * Confucius, Analects, 6.16

D

 * He lit a lamp in broad daylight and said, as he went about, "I am looking for a human."
 * Diogenes of Sinope, as reported by Diogenes Laërtius, vi. 41.
 * Also translated as "I am looking for an honest man."

E

 * The nonchalance of boys who are sure of a dinner and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one is the healthy attitude of human nature.
 * Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series (1883), p. 50

 * Anarchists trust the best instincts of the people, and human nature dictates that where there is repression there will be resistance; where there is slavery, there will a struggle against it.
 * Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, Anarchism and the Black Revolution (1993)

F

 * Thus we discover that this blind and impersonal process produced humans not in a lightning flash, not in a sudden instant of creation, but as the result of accumulation. The origin of humans is not something that can be pinpointed at five million years, or one million years, or 100,000 years in the past, but, rather, occurs continuously over time. Our origin is the whole pattern of evolution, although there are key events that we must discover and identify. The things that make us human are acquired as a complex mosaic—we became upright four million years ago; we began to make tools two million years ago; we began to live all over the earth less than one million years ago; and possibly we only acquired language in the last 100,000 years or so. Each of these factors is an essential part of the process of becoming human. What makes human evolution such an endlessly fascinating story is trying to visualize the stages, imagining what sort of a creature could walk upright but not talk, make tools but not use fire, survive the rigors of the Ice Age but know nothing of agriculture and a settled way of life.
 * Robert Foley, Introduction, in Rod Caird, Ape Man ISBN 978-0-85766-478-5 (p. 12)

 * Il est dans la nature humaine de penser sagement et d'agir d'une façon absurde.
 * It is human nature to think wisely and to act in an absurd fashion.
 * Anatole France Le livre de mon ami (1885): Le livre de Pierre, part I, ch. II: La dame en blanc

G

 * History often reproduces without reference to nationality some particular human type or class which becomes active and predominant for a time, and fades away when its task is finished. It is, however, not utterly lost, for the germ of it lies dormant yet ready to re-appear when the exigencies of the moment recall it. The reserve forces of human nature are inexhaustible and inextinguishable.
 * Gale and Polden, A Handbook of the Boer War, p. 152 (1910)

 * Human nature is intractable stuff, hard jagged stuff, the kind of stuff that dreams are wrecked on.
 * Elizabeth Goudge, The White Witch (1958), Part I, Chapter XII.2
 * Goudge alludes to the well-known line from Shakespeare's The Tempest, Act 4, scene 1: "We are such stuff as dreams are made on."

 * It is human nature to avoid being consumed by hypotheticals until they are staring us squarely in the face.
 * Sanjay Gupta, The big one is coming, and it's going to be a flu pandemic (November 7, 2018),

H

 * The nature of man doesn’t change, and that’s reassuring, since we know the necessary conditions that can save him from himself.
 * Victor Davis Hanson, as quoted in "Victor Davis Hanson", by Robert Messenger

 * The fate of the Jewish people is the fate of Macbeth who stepped out of nature itself, clung to alien beings, and so in their service had to trample and slay everything holy in human nature.
 * Hegel, The Spirit of Christianity and its Fate (1799)

 * There is a startling similarity between Bacon’s prescription for mastering nature—“Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed”—and Loyola’s formula for manipulating men—“Follow the other man’s course to your own goal.”
 * Eric Hoffer, Between the Devil and the Dragon (New York: 1951), p. 13

 * In the course of evolution nature has gone to endless trouble to see that every individual is unlike every other individual. ... Physically and mentally, each one of us is unique. Any culture which, in the interests of efficiency or in the name of some political or religious dogma, seeks to standardize the human individual, commits an outrage against man’s biological nature.
 * Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited (1958), Chapter 3, p. 21

K

 * Human nature, as manifested in tribalism and nationalism, provides the momentum of the machinery of human evolution.
 * Arthur Keith, (1946) Essays on Human Evolution. p. 68

 * Someone who thinks well of himself is said to have a healthy self-concept and is envied. Someone who thinks well of his country is called a patriot and is applauded.  But someone who thinks well of his species is regarded as hopelessly naïve and is dismissed.
 * Alfie Kohn, The Brighter Side of Human Nature: Altruism and Empathy in Everyday Life, 1990.

L

 * Certain basics about human nature do not change. Man needs a certain moral sense of right and wrong. There is such a thing called evil, and it is not the result of being a victim of society. You are just an evil man, prone to do evil things, and you have to be stopped from doing them.
 * Lee Kuan Yew, as quoted in A talk with the man who made Singapore by, 12 April 1994,

 * Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed.
 * Abraham Lincoln, Cooper Union Address (27 February 1860), New York

M

 * Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.
 * John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (Henry Holt, New York: 1895), Chapter 3, pp. 106-107

P

 * Human nature is not of itself vicious.
 * Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man: 1779 - 1792, p. 149 (2007)

 * Nature … has born and reared all men alike, and created them genuine brothers, not in mere name, but in very reality, though this kinship has been put to confusion by the triumph of malignant covetousness, which has wrought estrangement instead of affinity and enmity instead of friendship.
 * Philo, Every Good Man is Free, 79

 * The needs of man, if life is to survive, are usually said to be four -- air, water, food, and in the severe climates, protection. But it is becoming clear today that the human organism has another absolute necessity... This fifth need is the need for novelty -- the need, throughout our waking life, for continuous variety in the external stimulation of our eyes, ears, sense organs, and all our nervous network.
 * John R. Platt, (1959) "The Fifth Need of Man," in: Horizon 1 (July 1959), p. 109.

 * Humane nature I always thought the most useful object of humane reason, and to make the consideration of it pleasant and entertaining, I always thought the best employment of humane wit: other parts of philosophy may perhaps make us wiser, but this not only answers to that end, but makes us better too. Hence it was that the Oracle pronounced Socrates the wisest of all men living, because he judiciously made choice of human nature for the object of his thoughts; an enquiry into which as much exceeds all other learning, as it is of more consequence to adjust the true nature and measures of right and wrong, than to settle the distance of the planets, and compute the times of their circumvolutions.
 * Alexander Pope, “On Reason and Passion,” Prose works of Alexander Pope (1936), vol. 1 p. 44

R

 * Our human nature is made out of peace, and peace is what we are made for. All troubles are in fact caused by the disruption of our original condition, which is both our origin and our destiny.
 * Marco Respinti, "Tai Ji Men: A Candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize" (2022), Bitter Winter

 * Therapeutic re-education … teaches the patient-student how to live with the contradictions that combine to make him into a unique personality; this is does in contrast to the older moral pedagogies, which tried to re-order the contradictions into a hierarchy of superior and inferior, good and evil. ... What hope there is derives from Freud’s assumption that human nature is not so much a hierarchy of high-low, and good-bad, as his predecessors believed, but rather a jostling democracy of contending predispositions, deposited in every nature in roughly equal intensities. … Psychoanalysis if full of such mad logic; it is convincing only if the student of his own life accepts Freud’s egalitarian revision of the traditional idea of a hierarchical human nature.
 * Philip Rieff, The Triumph of the Therapeutic (1966), chapter 2

 * Human nature is governed by general self-interest and affected by genetic predisposition, which implies that there are likely to be limits to our moral sensitivities.
 * Nayef Al-Rodhan (2008) “emotional amoral egoism:” A Neurophilosophical Theory of Human Nature and its Universal Security Implications. Berlin: LIT, p. 15

S

 * Natural desires are limited; but those which spring from false opinion can have no stopping-point. The false has no limits. When you are travelling on a road, there must be an end; but when astray, your wanderings are limitless. Recall your steps, therefore, from idle things, and when you would know whether that which you seek is based upon a natural or upon a misleading desire, consider whether it can stop at any definite point. If you find, after having travelled far, that there is a more distant goal always in view, you may be sure that this condition is contrary to nature.
 * Seneca, Moral Letters, R. Gummere, trans. (1917)

 * Once the increase of empirical knowledge, and more exact modes of thought, made sharper divisions between the sciences inevitable, and once the increasingly complex machinery of the state necessitated a more rigorous separation of ranks and occupations, then the inner unity of human nature was severed too.
 * Friedrich Schiller, The Aesthetic Education of Man, Sixth Letter

 * Human nature is the same now as when Adam hid from the presence of God; the consciousness of wrong makes us unwilling to meet those whom we have offended.
 * Matthew Simpson, (1885) Sermons. p. 202

T

 * It belongs to human nature to hate those you have injured.
 * Tacitus as cited in: William Shepard Walsh (1909) Handy-book of Literary Curiosities. p. 392

 * You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around and why his parents will always wave back.
 * William D. Tammeus, Attributed in Reader's Digest Quotable Quotes (1997), p. 58

 * We're just like other people: We love to sing, we love to dance, we admire beautiful women. We are human, and sometimes very human.
 * Professor Siletsky in To Be or Not to Be (1942)

W

 * Ancestral humans behaved like Bonobos. Later, when we developed the family system, the use of sex for this sort of purpose became more limited, mainly occurring within families. A lot of the things we see, like pedophilia and homosexuality, may be leftovers that some now consider unacceptable in our particular society.
 * Frans de Waal ethologist at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center at Emory University Discover (1992)

 * God consecrates us with His Spirit; whom He adopts, He anoints; whom He makes sons, He makes saints; He doth not only give them a new name, but a new nature. God turns the wolf into a lamb; He makes the heart humble and gracious; He works such a change as if another soul did dwell in the same body.
 * Thomas Watson, as cited in Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 159

X

 * Human nature is evil; its goodness derives from conscious activity. Now it is human nature to be born with a fondness for profit. Indulging this leads to contention and strife, and the sense of modesty and yielding with which one was born disappears. One is born with feelings of envy and hate, and, by indulging these, one is led into banditry and theft, so that the sense of loyalty and good faith with which he was born disappears. One is born with the desires of the ears and eyes and with a fondness for beautiful sights and sounds, and, by indulging these, one is led to licentiousness and chaos, so that the sense of ritual, rightness, refinement, and principle with which one was born is lost. Hence, following human nature and indulging human emotions will inevitably lead to contention and strife, causing one to rebel against one’s proper duty, reduce principle to chaos, and revert to violence. Therefore one must be transformed by the example of a teacher and guided by the way of ritual and rightness before one will attain modesty and yielding, accord with refinement and ritual, and return to order.
 * Xun Zi, “Human Nature is Evil,” Sources of Chinese Tradition (1999), vol. 1, pp. 179-180

Say Anything...

Say Anything... is a 1989 film about a noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian who fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.
 * Written and directed by Cameron Crowe.

She's got every thing going for her. He's going for her with every thing he's got.taglines

Lloyd Dobler

 * I am looking for a "dare to be great" situation.

 * I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

 * She broke up with me. What do I do? Can she come back? How can I get her back? I can't - I can't get her to talk to me. It's all so fucked up. I feel like crying. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.

 * [leaving a message for Diane] Maybe I didn't really know you. Maybe you were just a mirage. Maybe the world is full of food and sex and spectacle and we're all just hurling towards an apocalypse, in which case it's not your fault. I'm been thinking about all these things and... you're probably standing there monitoring. And one more thing - about the letter. Nuke it. Flame it. Destroy it. - It hurts me to know it's out there. Later.

 * What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it.

Dialogue

 * Diane Court: I just can't have any social life right now.
 * Lloyd Dobler: Don't worry about it. We're just having coffee. We'll be anti-social.
 * Diane Court: Be friends?
 * Lloyd Dobler: Yeah. With potential.

 * Diane Court: [after they sleep together for the first time] Are you shaking?
 * Lloyd Dobler: No.
 * Diane Court: You're shaking.
 * Lloyd Dobler: I don't think so.
 * Diane Court: You're cold.
 * Lloyd Dobler: I don't think I am.
 * Diane Court: Then why are you shaking?
 * Lloyd Dobler: I don't know. I think I'm happy.

 * Diane Court: I have this theory of convergence, that good things always happen with bad things. I know you have to deal with them at the same time, but I just don't know why they have to happen at the same time. I just wish I could work out some schedule. Am I just babbling? Do you know what I mean?
 * Lloyd Dobler: No.

 * Lloyd Dobler: Check your mail tomorrow. I sent you a letter, a letter.
 * Diane Court: Your letter came yesterday.
 * Lloyd Dobler: It did?
 * Diane Court: Uh-huh. It was wonderful.
 * Lloyd Dobler: Why didn't you tell me?
 * Diane Court: It was wonderful.
 * Lloyd Dobler: I've never sent a letter like that, you know? I mean, I felt like I wanted to tell you something, but I didn't put it in the letter, and I didn't say it, but I want to say it now, I'm not sure if I should say it, you know, 'cause people always say it and don't mean it, but I think that I mean it, so, um, I just wanted to tell you...
 * Diane Court: No, we don't have to say it.
 * Lloyd Dobler: How do you know what I'm going to say?
 * Diane Court: I don't know what you're going to say, but I think that...
 * Lloyd Dobler: I was just going to tell you that I love you. [pause] I said it.
 * Diane Court: I know. Lloyd, let's not start putting things on this level.
 * Lloyd Dobler: What? This is a good level, isn't it?
 * Diane Court: How can I look at you and say this?
 * Lloyd Dobler: Say what?
 * [He leans over, kisses her, and smiles.]
 * Diane Court: I think that we should spend some time apart.
 * Lloyd Dobler: What's wrong?
 * Diane Court: Well, I need to study, and...
 * Lloyd Dobler: You need to study?
 * Diane Court: Yeah.
 * Lloyd Dobler: Okay, how much time do you need? I mean, you know, I mean you'll be leaving in a little while, so that's answered some questions.
 * Diane Court: We'll see.
 * Lloyd Dobler: Okay. It's good knowing this.
 * Diane Court: Yeah, uh-huh.
 * [Lloyd brings the car to a full stop.]
 * Lloyd Dobler: Okay, what did we just decide?
 * Diane Court: We decided...
 * Lloyd Dobler: 'Cause I'm worried, did you just break up with me?
 * Diane Court: No, no.
 * Lloyd Dobler: It sounded like you did.
 * Diane Court: No. We decided that we're friends.  I mean, I know it's a terrible word...
 * Lloyd Dobler: Well, if we're friends, why can't we see each other?
 * Diane Court: I think that we should stop going out on dates.
 * Lloyd Dobler: I feel like a dick. You must think I'm a dick.
 * Diane Court: No, I don't, I don't.
 * Lloyd Dobler: Yeah you do.
 * Diane Court: Lloyd, we shared the most intimate thing two people can share.
 * Lloyd Dobler: You shared it with a dick.

 * Lloyd Dobler: [after saying he loves her] What? I'm sorry I said that. Forget I said it, it's what I thought I meant, but...
 * Diane Court: Lloyd...
 * Lloyd Dobler: ...forget it.
 * Diane Court: [making air quotes] "I love you," okay?
 * Lloyd Dobler: What is that? What are you doing with your hands?
 * Diane Court: Don't! Don't be - !
 * Lloyd Dobler: Talk to me, you're talking like that girl, Sheila!
 * Diane Court: Don't be mean, this is hard for me too.
 * Lloyd Dobler: [pauses] Then don't do it.
 * Diane Court: Shit. [She turns away from him and takes the pen from her coat pocket] Just take this pen, please, and write me?
 * [She puts the pen on the car dashboard, and turns away again]
 * Lloyd Dobler: I can't believe this. You just broke up with me.
 * [They both sit in silence]

 * Denny: Man, all you gotta do is find a girl that looks just like her, nail her, and then dump her, man. Get her of your mind.
 * Mark: Your only mistake is that you didn't dump her first. Diane Court is a show pony. You need a stallion, my friend. Walk with us and you walk tall.
 * Luke: Bitches, man.
 * Lloyd Dobler: I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?
 * Joe: [pause] By choice, man.

 * D.C.: Lloyd, why do you have to be like this?
 * Lloyd Dobler: 'Cause I'm a guy. I have pride.
 * Corey Flood: You're not a guy.
 * Lloyd Dobler: I am.
 * Corey Flood: No. The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.

 * Diane Court: Lloyd, I'm sorry.
 * Lloyd Dobler: What do you want?
 * Diane Court: I'm sorry.
 * Lloyd Dobler: What do you want?
 * Diane Court: My father's guilty. He lied to me, he lied to everybody. I just left home... I need you.
 * Lloyd Dobler: You do?
 * Diane Court: Everything else means nothing to me. If I hurt you again, I'll die. I love you.
 * Lloyd Dobler: What?
 * Diane Court: I love you. How many more times do I have to say it?
 * Lloyd Dobler: One more would be nice.
 * Diane Court: I love you... please. I love you.
 * Lloyd Dobler: One question: do you need... someone, or do you need me?... Forget it, I don't really care.

 * Jim Court: You're not a permanent part of her life. You're a distraction.
 * Lloyd Dobler: I'm the distraction that's going with her to England, sir.

 * Diane Court: Nobody thinks it will work, do they?

Wildfire (TV series)

Wildfire (2005–2008) is a drama television show, airing on ABC Family, about an eighteen-year-old girl who, after serving time at a teen detention center, is given the opportunity to start a new life. Her talent with horses is recognized by a volunteer and local trainer, who arranges a job for her at a ranch.

Pilot [1.1]

 * Junior: I want you to know that I'm an honorable man. I could've just waited five minutes and you would've been entirely...
 * Kris: Go home. If Pablo sees you...
 * Junior: Pablo's in his house. His light is on. I can see him from here.
 * Kris: What are you doing here?
 * Junior: I thought you'd might like to go to a hottub party with us.
 * Kris: Thanks. I don't have a suit.
 * Junior: Who said anything about suits?
 * Kris: Cute. I don't think so.
 * Junior: You're right. I'd rather be alone with you anyway.

 * Kris: You are so lucky you dont even know to live in a place like this I grew up in a four- plex behind a bowling alley.
 * Matt: Be carful what you wish for.
 * Kris: Oh come on you don't like it here?
 * Matt: When you've been mucking stalls your whole life, I mean when I'm done with school I'm outta here.
 * Kris: To do what?
 * Matt: Anything except the family business. I want to know what it's like outside of Freemont, California.
 * Kris: Yeah well, you might be disappointed.
 * Matt: Sounds like you've had some experience.
 * Kris: Yeah.

 * Kris: [to Jean] I've made some mistakes and I paid for them. I hope I don't have to keep paying for them my entire life.

 * Kris: [to Dani] What are you trying to do to me?

 * Amber: [after insulting Kris] I'm sorry, she totally freaked me out. I thought she was going to hit me!
 * Matt: I was going to hit you!

 * Kris: I swear, I will never kiss another boy again, ever!

Trust [1.2]

 * Dani: Don't you dare!
 * Junior: Or, you can call this whole thing with Kris an unfortunate misunderstanding.
 * [Pause, Dani looking shocked.]
 * Dani: I hate you.
 * Junior: I knew you'd understand.

 * Kris: Can you two stop it? Don't you get it, they could stick me with another parole violation and I could go back to LaGrange. I don't give a rat's ass about some Polly.
 * Junior: Molly.
 * Matt: Junior. Shut up.
 * [pause]
 * Junior: I'm sorry Kris.

 * Kris: I wish I could tell him I didn't leave him.
 * Pablo: It's all about trust and you lost his, we all have.
 * Kris: Yeah, well it's a mean world and maybe he's right. Maybe you shouldn't trust everyone who gives you a carrot.

 * Jean: [waving Kris to sit down] No, no, no. You to. I want you to know I should fire you for what happened yesterday, but Junior Davis told me what his sister did to you.
 * Kris: I shouldn't have hit her.
 * Jean: Yeah, that's right.
 * Kris: I didn't know what else to do!
 * Jean: You come to me. It's hard for you to trust me, isn't it?
 * Kris:Yeah, it is.
 * Jean: Well you're just going to have to take a chance. I'm here. I'm telling you that. You got time. Your safe now Kris. OK, then, um... you've got some unpacking to do, right?
 * Kris: Right. Thank you.

 * Kris: Can I ride with you?
 * Junior: I was just about to ask if you wanted to drive.
 * Kris: You had to ask.

 * Junior: You are such a psycho, if he were so in love with you he wouldn't have dumped you.

 * Junior: For God Sake's, I'll keep my hands on the wheel.
 * Kris: You will, or I'll break both of your arms.

Mothers [1.3]

 * Kris: Hey. Thanks for getting Dani to drop the charges against me.
 * Junior: Anytime. I'm full of good deeds. You just have to ask.

 * Kris: Mom? Mom wait! Mom I'm sorry. Matt took the ring. I should have believed you.
 * Barb: Does that mean you're coming with me?
 * Kris: I can't -- I just -- Are you mad?
 * Barb: Mad? No. I'm a little hurt, I guess.

 * Dani: [to Sasha] Were those free with the tummy tuck and the lipo?

 * Bobby: The good news is I'm hosting a little soiree at my place tomorrow. Cocktails, swimming, hotties...
 * Matt: Whoo! Three of our favorite things.

 * Matt: What about Dani?
 * Junior: We can only hope her dark master calls her back to hell.

 * Danni: All work and no sex make Danni a dull girl.
 * Bobby: Girl, does your daddy even know where you are?

Guilty [1.4]

 * Kris: How is everything?
 * Matt: Great thanks, I'll meet you at the car.
 * Junior: Here you go, keep the change.
 * Kris: Whats this?
 * Junior: A tip.
 * Kris: Five dollars is a tip this is something different.
 * Junior: Yeah payment for the grief and the three dinners my sister sent back.
 * Kris: I'll get the change.

 * Dani: What's she doing here?
 * Junior: Waiting tables. Trying to decide whether to spit or put a dead cockroach in your salad.

 * Jean: I just wanna know what's in his [Matt's] mind.
 * Charlie: She's probably blonde and naked.

The Claiming Race [1.5]

 * Kris: So, you didn't want to?
 * Junior: No, you didn't.

 * Junior: What's the big deal? Go to a club. Spend some time together. Friends plus benefits.
 * Kris: I don't know.
 * Junior: One night of fun and romance. I guarantee you'll be back for more, and if not, no hard feelings.
 * Kris: Pick me up at 8:30.

 * Junior: So, back home to the wicked stepsisters?
 * Kris: Huh, not even.
 * Junior: Well just so you know, I put the claim in on Wildfire before we went out. Come on. Tell me I'm a great guy.
 * Kris: Yeah, you were a great guy...today.[Leans over and kisses him]

 * Pablo: [to Jean] If Wildfire goes, I'm gonna follow.

 * Pablo: [referring to Wildfire] He's counter-suggestive.

The Track [1.7]

 * Dani: [to Kris] Ya know, I always thought my brother was a superficial dork. At least he's not superficial. He's a good guy.

 * Kris: You can't fake a mother like that.

 * Ely: Pay up today or something's gonna happen.
 * Matt: What's that supposed to mean?
 * Ely: I think you already know.

 * Matt: There's a chance it wasn't an accident.
 * Kris: Who would want to hurt Wildfire?
 * Matt: I have no idea. But it wouldn't be the first time a horse was poisoned at the track.

 * Matt: Next time you want something come after me.
 * Ely: What?
 * Matt: Leave my horse alone!
 * Ely: I don't know what you're talking about, I love horses.

 * Dani: Give me the phone or I'll post your PSAT scores on my blog.
 * Junior: What were they again?
 * Dani: 490 Math, 550 Verbal.

 * Pablo: I know Carlos. I watched him work with horses for four years. I don't care how mad he is. He's not going to hurt one.

 * Junior: Come on, it's just dinner.
 * Kris: It's never just dinner.

 * Junior: That was a great kiss.
 * Kris: Yeah, it was.

 * Kris: I have faith in you Matt. You're going down a bad path, but you're going to turn it around. I know it.

The Party [1.8]

 * Junior: A curse on the Sweden.
 * Matt: What about all the hot blondes?
 * Junior: Not the hot blondes.

 * Junior: You have a great right hook.
 * Kris: That's because men are dogs.
 * Junior: All men are dogs?
 * Kris: Well, different breeds, same goal.

 * Kris: So when are you giving Elvis back his car?
 * Win: When he pries the keys from my cold, dead fingers...And believe me that won't be anytime soon.

 * Win: You live here?
 * Matt: Yeah. 'Til my mom finds out I threw this party.
 * Win: Good luck with that.

 * Junior: [After laughing with Junior about trying their relationship again] We're really bad at this.
 * Kris: Yeah, We're better at this. [Grabs and kisses Junior]

 * Kris: I mean about Matt and you...
 * Junior: We're just friends. We've never kissed.

 * Matt: I think you should quit while you're behind.
 * Bobby: Hey, that's good advice. Maybe you should take it yourself.

 * Junior: Did she say he was a friend?
 * Matt: No, an old, old, old friend.

 * Dani: What sport do you play?
 * Evan: I don't know, is calculus a sport?

 * Junior: [to Matt] It takes a good son like you to enjoy wearing such a tight leash.

 * Junior: [to Kris] I think I'm in love with you.
 * Kris: You can't be, you don't even know me.
 * Junior: But I can get to know you.

Identity [1.9]

 * Junior: You sure you don't want to go somewhere else?
 * Kris: [laughs] I have to get back but do you wanna hang out tomorrow?
 * Junior: Wait, you're asking me out?
 * Kris: Maybe...

 * Kris: [to Pablo and Jean] I'm sorry if that's not the future you guys want for me but that's what I want.

 * Matt: I'll do anything!
 * Jean: [crestfallen] I've heard that before...

 * Kris: Matt, you're a really good friend.
 * Matt: Do me a favor. Don't tell me that.

 * Henry: Kris isn't in there.
 * Junior: I know, I've been knocking for five minutes. You know where she is?
 * Henry: She's in the hospital. Kris took a bad spill.

 * Kris: You make me nervous.
 * Junior: So, I do have an effect on you.

 * Tina: [to Kris] I hate to break it to you, but you're too old. I started [jockeying] when I was thirteen.

 * Dani: [to Evan] It's weird... I know more about this horse's mother than my own mother.

 * Junior: You love horses, Paris Hilton loves posing nude with small dogs.

 * Kris: Don't make this a big deal.
 * Matt: This is a big deal!

Tina Sharp [1.10]

 * Matt: Who's Luke Perry?
 * Dani: He was in the The Breakfast Club.
 * Matt: Oh.
 * Dani: Or was itAerosmith.

 * Junior: Okay, there are probably gonna be some photographers here from Horse and Track, so get ready to smile.
 * Kris: Photographers? Like they're gonna care about us.
 * Junior: Come on. You're a hot young jock riding the horse whose life you saved. Plus, my dad owns the magazine...

 * Kris: Matt, is this thing between you and Tina for real or is it just a fling?
 * Matt: I don't know. What about you and Junior?
 * Kris: I don't do flings.

 * Kris: [to Tina] You know, I'm starting to get why you don't have any women friends.

 * Tina: [to Kris, about Junior and Matt] You win a couple races, you can have both of them and anybody else you want!

 * Evan: I think this is about something else.
 * Dani: All right. Like what?
 * Evan: You freaking out that your mother isn't a princess from Barcelona.

 * Dani: What'd you do, take a freakin' Tom Cruise pill?
 * Junior: Sorry, blame it on her. [pointing to Kris]

 * Dani: [to Junior] I just wanted someone... I could talk to... Of course, that's just stupid.

 * Kris: [to Tina] I'm not here for you! I'm here for him [Wildfire].

Impressions [1.11]

 * Dani: I'm going to find my mother. I don't care that you sent your lawyer to intimidate me into not looking for her. Did you forget about that? I didn't.
 * Ken Davis: Dani we have a guest.
 * Dani: Oh. This isn't a good time? Because I've been waiting two weeks and you haven't said a word.

 * Dani: [to Isabelle] Are you my mother?

 * Kris: [to Tina] ... but I'll never see things the same way as you!

 * Matt: You know, I'm sick of people riding my ass. You're not my dad.
 * Pablo: I know.

 * Junior: [to Kris] Welcome to the Davis "Family Circus."

 * Kris: What are you doing?
 * Tina: Hi! I'm putting on my game face.

Loyalty [1.12]

 * Kris: Why are you doing this to Matt?
 * Tina: I think it's actually what he's doing to me.
 * Kris: You know that's not what I mean, he cares about you.
 * Tina: Are you scared you're not going to get him back?
 * Kris: That's not what I'm saying.
 * Tina: No? Bring Wildfire out to the track when you're done, OK?

 * Kris: [to Junior, about having sex] Yeah. But not here. And there's a big rock under my back.

 * Pablo: Tina Sharp wins races 'cause she's passionate and has to prove something. They say fight fire with fire.

 * Tina: [to Matt, after kissing him goodbye] You're cute.

 * Charlie: [to Jean, about Matt & Tina] The more you hassle him, the more attractive she'll look.

 * Junior: [after sex] That was...
 * Kris: It was.

 * Junior: [after sex] What are you doing?
 * Kris: Remembering this.
 * Junior: But I'm still here.
 * Kris: You'd better be.

 * Junior: [to Kris, after she breaks up with him] I thought you loved me.
 * Kris: I... I do.

Try it Without the Porsche! [2.1]

 * Dani: So is this what you mean by trying it without the Porsche?

 * Kris: [After seeing Junior alive] I thought you were dead... and the car... the car was!
 * Junior: Yeah, well, that's dead. Hey, It's a convertible, I landed it in the water. Look there's not a scratch on me, its me! [Grabs her hand and puts it to his face]
 * Kris:[slaps Junior] How could you do that to me? How could you do that to your sister, and to Matt?
 * Junior: [chuckles]"Oh My God, are they going to slap me too?
 * Kris: Oh God! [Grabs him and hold him in her arms while crying.]

Paul Martin

Paul Martin (born August 28, 1938 in Windsor, Ontario) was the Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. He was the twenty-first prime minister, having succeeded Jean Chrétien on December 12, 2003 and being succeeded by Stephen Harper on February 6th, 2006.

Quotes

 * Canada's position was Saddam Hussein should be disarmed. Now, to be quite honest, I had a lot of difficulty understanding how he was going to be disarmed without being replaced.
 * Ottawa Citizen (April 28, 2003)

 * I really think Canada should get over to Iraq as quickly as possible. There's a huge need for front-line medical professionals. There's a huge need for policing. And there's a huge need for infrastructure rebuilding.
 * On sending humanitarian aid to Iraq.
 * North Bay Nugget (April 30, 2003)

 * The fact that now we know well that there is proliferation of nuclear weapons and that many of the weapons that Saddam Hussein had, for example, we do not know where they are, so that means the terrorists have access to all that.
 * The Globe and Mail (May 11, 2004)

 * Put simply, we must always remember that separate but equal is not equal.
 * Regarding the proposal that homosexual couples be limited to civil unions, instead of being allowed to marry.
 * Office of the Prime Minister (Feb 16, 2005)

 * "I mean if there are going to be missiles that are going off and there are going to be going off over Canadian airspace whether we want it or not, no I don't think that is acceptable. I think that we want to be at the table."
 * CTV Question Period, April 27, 2003

 * "I don't think there is any doubt, if there ever was . . . that Saddam Hussein does have weapons of mass destruction. Biological weapons that they discovered were very clear evidence of not only the fact that he had them, but that he had lied and that he is continuing to lie.”
 * Calgary Herald, March 7, 2003

Henry L. Stimson

Henry Lewis Stimson (September 21, 1867 – October 20, 1950) was an American statesman, lawyer and Republican Party politician and spokesman on foreign policy. He served as Secretary of War (1911–1913) under Republican William Howard Taft, and as Governor-General of the Philippines (1927–1929). As Secretary of State (1929–1933) under Republican President Herbert Hoover, he articulated the Stimson Doctrine which announced American opposition to Japanese expansion in Asia. He again served as Secretary of War (1940–1945) under Democrats Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, and was a leading hawk calling for war against Nazi Germany. During World War II he took charge of raising and training 13 million soldiers and airmen, supervised the spending of a third of the nation's GDP on the Army and the Air Forces, helped formulate military strategy, and oversaw the building and use of the atomic bomb.

Quotes

 * When the news first came that Japan had attacked us, my first feeling was of relief that the indecision was over and that a crisis had come in a way which would unite all our people. This continued to be my dominant feeling in spite of the news of catastrophes which quickly developed. For I feel that this country united has practically nothing to fear, while the apathy and divisions stirred up by unpatriotic men have been hitherto very discouraging.
 * 7 December 1941 diary entry, per page 262 of "On Active Services In Peace And War", his 1947 biography

 * The second generation Japanese can only be evacuated either as part of a total evacuation, giving access to the areas only by permits, or by frankly trying to put them out on the ground that their racial characteristics are such that we cannot understand or trust even the citizen Japanese. The latter is the fact but I am afraid it will make a tremendous hole in our constitutional system.
 * Statement in his Diary on the WWII Internment of Japanese Americans (10 February 1942)

As his report shows, General Eisenhower in making his decision also considered the value to our country of General Patton's aggressive, winning leadership in the bitter battles which are to come before final victory. I am confident that you will agree with me that Gen. Eisenhower's decision, under these difficult circumstances, was right and proper.
 * The decision to weigh Lieut. Gen. Patton's great services to his country, in World War I and World War II, from these shores to Casablanca and through Tunisia to triumph in Sicily, on the one hand, against an indefensible act on the other, was Gen. Eisenhower's.
 * Report to the U.S. Senate on the George S. Patton slapping incidents, supporting Eisenhower's decision to retain Patton's services in the European theatre of WWII (November 1943)

 * The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him and show your distrust.
 * The Bomb and the Opportunity (March 1946)

 * Gentlemen don't read each other's mail.
 * On Active Service in Peace and War (1948)

 * The only deadly sin I know is cynicism.
 * On Active Service in Peace and War (1948), Introduction

 * we needed the Japanese to commit the first overt act
 * after WWII, per page 174 of "The Pearl Harbor Myth: Rethinking the Unthinkable" by George Victor, highlighted by Mises

Quotes about Stimson

 * I remember Mr. Stimson saying to me that he thought it appalling that there should be no protests over the air raids which we were conducting over Japan, which in the case of Tokyo led to such extraordinarily heavy loss of life. He didn't say that the air strikes shouldn't be carried on, but he did think that there was something wrong with a country where no one questioned that ...
 * J. Robert Oppenheimer quoted by Kai Bird & Martin J. Sherwin in American Prometheus (2005), p. 291

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.

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.

 * If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her.
 * [Evan's note to Kayleigh] I'll come back for you.
 * [to Kayleigh] I've already lost you once, I'm not gonna lose you again.
 * [to Kayleigh's Dad] Yeah, you remember me? We had a nice chat once when I was seven...
 * [to Carlos (Prision Friend)] Jesus speaks to me in my dreams.
 * I guess charisma and eyeliner go a long way.
 * [Self-Thinking] If I can have the power to make scars appear, can I have the power to heal them? What about Kayleigh's scars?
 * [To Lenny while burning his stuff] I know who I am now.
 * [To Thumper] You think you know me? I don't even know me!
 * [To Kayleigh] You really have no clue how beautiful you are, do you?

Kayleigh Miller

 * Nothing ever gets better.

Dialogue

 * [Evan tells Kayleigh to cover her ears]
 * Evan at 7: What time is it?
 * Mr. George Miller: It's time for you to do what I tell you to do...
 * Evan at 7: Wrong answer, fuckbag. This is the very moment of your reckoning. In the next thirty seconds, you're gonna open one of two doors. The first door will forever traumatize your own flesh and blood.
 * Mr. George Miller: What's happening? How are you doing this?
 * Evan at 7: It'll change your daughter from a beautiful child into an empty shell. Whose only concept of trust was betrayed by her own sick pedophile father. Ultimately... it'll lead to her suicide. Nice work, Daddy.
 * Mr. George Miller: Who are you?
 * Evan at 7: Let's just say you're being closely watched, George. Your other option is...to treat Kayleigh like, say, like a loving father treats his daughter. Sound okay to you, Papa?
 * Mr. George Miller: Yes.
 * Evan at 7: Listen close then, fuckbag. You screw this up again, I'll flat-out castrate you. What you need to do is discipline your son Tommy 'cause the kid is one sadistic pup. One last thing...
 * [Evan whispers something in Kayleigh's ear]
 * Kayleigh at 7: [yelling at her father] Don't ever touch me again!
 * Mr. George Miller: I won't.

 * Thumper: Maybe there's a reason you've repressed the day some pervert had you in your tighty-whiteys.
 * [glances at Evan's journals]
 * Thumper: Hey Man, I'd think twice about what you're doing. You could wake up a lot more fucked up than you are now.
 * Evan: More fucked up than I am? You think you know me? I don't even know me!

 * Kayleigh Miller: Where'd you learn those new tricks?
 * Evan: What? It... it wasn't... weird... was it?
 * Kayleigh Miller: Yeah, if you call multiple orgasms weird!

 * [Evan visits Kayleigh, who has now become a prostitute]
 * Kayleigh: So, how's tricks? Sorry, occupational humor.
 * Evan: I got it.

 * Evan: I just thought that you should know.
 * Kayleigh Miller: Know what?
 * Evan: That you were happy once... with me.
 * Kayleigh Miller: You know there's one major hole in your story, there is no fucking way on this planet, nor any other I would ever be in some fucking sorority.
 * Evan: [Whispering] You were happy there...

 * [in the reality where Kayleigh is with Lenny]
 * Kayleigh: Here, do you want a granola bar?
 * ''[Evan fumbles with it as she tries to put the granola bar into his prosthetic hand, and breaks the granola bar in half]
 * Evan: Yeah, I gotta fix these things or something.

 * Evan: So, do you think it might have worked?
 * Kayleigh: Yeah... But that's not how things wound up... I'm with Lenny, Lenny is your friend... and that's where it ends.
 * Evan: Well... Would it make a difference if I told you that no one could possibly ever love anyone as much as I love you?
 * [Kayleigh is flattered by Evan's compliment]
 * Evan: ...I am not saying that, I am just saying it like if you were a girl, would that be something you would want to hear?

 * [after handless Evan has just tried to commit suicide by drowning himself in the bathtub]
 * Tommy: You forgot to put the toaster on the ledge.
 * Evan: Lenny likes Poptarts. You guys are all what matters now.
 * Tommy: I know it's hard but you can't give up.
 * Evan: I can't even fucking kill myself.
 * Tommy: Don't talk like that.

 * [time traveling Evan at age 7 threatens George Miller with a lighted stick of dynamite]
 * Mr. George Miller: Evan! Put that out, or you'll blow off both your hands!
 * Evan at 7: Been there, done that.

 * Evan: [whispers into Kayleigh's ear] I hate you and if you ever come near me again, I'll kill you and your whole damn family.
 * Kayleigh: [runs, crying to mom]
 * Evan: [inaudible to Kayleigh] Good bye...
 * [Evan flashes back to his dorm room, where Lenny helps him after his brain recreates the memories]
 * Evan: Where's Kayleigh?
 * Lenny: Who's Kayleigh?
 * Evan: [confused] Who's Kayleigh? Who's Kayleigh...?
 * Lenny: You want me to take you to the doctor?
 * Evan: No, I think everything's gonna be all right this time.
