March 27 Quotes of the day from previous years:

 * 2004
 * In critical moments even the very powerful have need of the weakest. ~ Aesop
 * selected by Kalki

 * 2005
 * Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the sight of Heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered. ~ Yeshua (Jesus Christ) (Easter in Western Christianity, 27 March 2005)
 * selected by Kalki

 * 2006
 * All knowledge is oriented toward some object and is influenced in its approach by the nature of the object with which it is pre-occupied. But the mode of approach to the object to be known is dependent upon the nature of the knower. ~ Karl Mannheim (born 27 March 1893)
 * selected by Kalki

 * 2007
 * History is a novel written by the people. ~ Alfred de Vigny (born 27 March 1797)
 * proposed by InvisibleSun

 * 2008
 * At this point in history when all things which concern man and the structure and elements of history itself are suddenly revealed to us in a new light, it behooves us in our scientific thinking to become masters of the situation, for it is not inconceivable that sooner than we suspect, as has often been the case before in history, this vision may disappear, the opportunity may be lost, and the world will once again present a static, uniform, and inflexible countenance. ~ Karl Mannheim
 * proposed by Kalki

A good time coming. We may not live to see the day, But earth shall glisten in the ray Of the good time coming. Cannon-balls may aid the truth But thought’s a weapon stronger; We’ll win our battles by its aid, Wait a little longer.'' ~ Charles Mackay ~
 * 2009
 * ''There’s a good time coming, boys!
 * proposed by Zarbon

 * 2010
 * Non-evaluative insight into history does not inevitably lead to relativism, but rather to relationism. Knowledge, as seen in the light of the total conception of ideology, is by no means an illusory experience, for ideology in its relational concept is not at all identical with illusion. Knowledge arising out of our experience in actual life situations, though not absolute, is knowledge none the less. ~ Karl Mannheim
 * proposed by Kalki

 * 2011
 * Today, there are too many points of view of equal value and prestige, each showing the relativity of the other, to permit us to take any one position and to regard it as impregnable and absolute. Only this socially disorganized intellectual situation makes possible the insight, hidden until now by a generally stable social structure and the practicability of certain traditional norms, that every point of view is particular to a social situation. ~ Karl Mannheim
 * proposed by Kalki

Each wavelet on the ocean tost Aids in the ebb-tide or the flow; Each rain-drop makes some floweret blow; Each struggle lessens human woe.'' ~ Charles Mackay ~

The fact disclosed by a survey of the past that majorities have usually been wrong, must not blind us to the complementary fact that majorities have usually not been entirely wrong. ~ Herbert Spencer
 * 3 InvisibleSun 18:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2 Zarbon 22:57, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3 Kalki 23:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

In my view, the composer, just as the poet, the sculptor or the painter, is in duty bound to serve Man, the people. He must beautify human life and defend it. He must be a citizen first and foremost, so that his art might consciously extol human life and lead man to a radiant future. Such is the immutable code of art as I see it. ~ Sergei Prokofiev (born April 27, 1891)

When they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. ~ Yeshua (Jesus Christ) (Eastern Orthodox Easter 2008)
 * 2 Kalki 01:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC) * 4 Kalki 23:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC) no longer strongly related to the date.
 * 2 but I would have given it a 3 if it were trimmed to the last bit of the quote. I like this quote because it speaks of determination, a respectable quality, to endure and be saved in turn. Zarbon 00:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2 InvisibleSun 21:47, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

What I did in my youth is hundreds of times easier today. Technology breeds crime. ~ Frank Abagnale

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on. ~ Ulysses S. Grant

The Church says that the Earth is flat, but I know that it is round. For I have seen the shadow of the earth on the moon and I have more faith in the Shadow than in the Church. ~ Ferdinand Magellan (date of death)
 * 3 if this is truly properly attributed to Magellan. Zarbon 17:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 0 The available evidence indicates this to probably be a misattribution, and thus unacceptable as a quote of Magellan. ~ Kalki 04:27, 28 April 2009 (UTC) + tweaks

Those who cavalierly reject the Theory of Evolution, as not adequately supported by facts, seem quite to forget that their own theory is supported by no facts at all. Like the majority of men who are born to a given belief, they demand the most rigorous proof of any adverse belief, but assume that their own needs none. ~ Herbert Spencer (dob)

Written on the Wind

 * Directed by Douglas Sirk. Written by George Zuckerman, based on the novel by Robert Wilder.

The story of a family's ugly secret and the stark moment that thrust their private lives into public view! taglines

Kyle Hadley

 * [to Lucy] Something is happening to me. I find myself talking to you like I never talked to anyone before—not even Mitch...I think we're past the point of no return.
 * Lucy, you decent? Lucy, are you dec---? [reflectively musing to himself] I guess she was.

Mitch Wayne

 * I can't keep holding back how I feel about you, Lucy. How I've felt ever since the first day we met. I'm in love with you.

Marylee Hadley

 * I'm allergic to politeness.
 * [to Lucy] Oh, there's a man for you — or for me, rather. Kyle starts something. Mitch finishes it for him. Kyle falls on his face. Mitch picks him up. Kyle steals. Mitch takes the blame. And there you have the secret story of Kyle Hadley and his electric personality.
 * [testifying at Kyle's inquest] Mitch Wayne was there - in the study with my brother. Kyle had a gun in his hand. He was raving mad, raving about things that weren't so. Mitch tried to talk to him, to make him understand how wrong he was, to stop him from using the gun. Afraid he might even use it on himself. I made a grab for the gun. Kyle and I struggled. The gun went off....Whatever he [Mitch] may have said, means nothing. Except he was worried about Kyle, as a brother for a brother...[Kyle]...was depressed by Father's sudden death and he'd been drinking...My brother always drank too much. He was sad, the saddest of us all. He needed so much and had so little.

Dialogue

 * Lucy: [to Mitch] Just what do you do for the Hadley Oil Company?
 * Kyle: We're troubleshooters. Wherever they want trouble, they send for us.
 * Mitch: I, uh, have a sheepskin that says I'm a geologist.
 * Kyle: I was kicked out of the same school. They found rocks in my head.

 * Lucy: Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. It's an adventure. It's exciting.
 * Mitch: Are you looking for laughs? Or are you soul-searching?
 * Lucy: The latter, I guess. I think I'm beginning to know Kyle - and to like him.
 * Mitch: [looking hurt] Well, in that case, I'm glad.

 * Lucy: I took a sudden dislike to the suite...Oh, it was beautiful at first glance. Then I thought how ugly it would be - in the morning.
 * Kyle: Guilty as charged.
 * Lucy: I was tempted.
 * Kyle: Was it easy to overcome?
 * Lucy: Yes, you made it easy.
 * Kyle: How, by throwing my money at you?
 * Lucy: No. No, it wasn't that.
 * Kyle: What, then?
 * Lucy: It was the ride. 'Up in the blue' as you call it.
 * Kyle: Talked too much, didn't I?
 * Lucy: No. It was good talk. Only something happened to me, something as unexpected as the things you told me. I tried to tell myself it was, I don't know, sympathy, compassion. But it was more.
 * Kyle: Let's... let's get out of here. Cigarette? We'll put you on the next plane to New York.
 * Lucy: Thank you.
 * Kyle: I'm...sorrier than I've ever been in my whole sorry life. I hope you believe me.
 * Lucy: Is it important that I do?
 * Kyle: Very, because I... I want to start all over again... with you.
 * Lucy: How?
 * Kyle: Suppose-- Just suppose I came to New York again. Not to play, but to work, to behave like-- like Tom, Dick and Harry. I-I'd ask you for dates, take you to lunches, to the movies. I'd be... happy with a good night kiss. I'd think seriously about all the things I used to laugh at, like having a wife and a home... and kids. Right now there's one thing you don't have to suppose. I'm in love with you. So much so that... I want to marry you.

 * Jasper: It's about time you got hitched, isn't it?
 * Mitch: No, I-I have trouble enough finding oil.
 * Jasper: I sure wish you felt different about Marylee.
 * Mitch: We grew up together, like brother and sister. I just can't see it any other way.
 * Jasper: Yeah. It's a shame, though, in a way. It's a real shame.

 * Marylee: Then you grew up and left me, you and Kyle, the rover boys. I guess that's why I hate him so, for taking you away from me. I love you, Mitch. I'm desperate for you. So desperate, I run to the likes of Roy Carter.
 * Mitch: All right, blame me.
 * Marylee: I'm not talking about blame. About love. Do you love me, Mitch?
 * Mitch: Like a brother.
 * Marylee: I don't want you as a brother.
 * Mitch: Can't be any other way, Marylee. Don't, please don't waste your life waiting for me.
 * Marylee: I'll wait, and I'll have you - marriage or no marriage.

 * Kyle: A toast to — to beauty — and the truth, which is anything but beautiful... This is an occasion. We must proceed with, with quiet dignity.
 * Mitch: What are we celebrating?
 * Kyle: The end of a drought, a year-long drought.
 * Mitch: We drank a toast to truth.
 * Kyle: So?
 * Mitch: So you ought to let us in on what you're really celebrating — or mourning.
 * Kyle: So you'd like to know my secret. The secret is — not to pour the vermouth, just to pretend you're pouring it.

 * Biff: [about Marylee] That's how she operates... I never heard of anybody ever picking her up, that's all. It's always the other way around.
 * Jasper: How do you know?
 * Biff: Why don't you just walk up and down Main Street and ask somebody, huh?
 * Jasper: I'm asking you!
 * Biff: I didn't take her to the motel. She took me. Your daughter's a tramp, mister, if that ain't plain enough for ya.

 * Lucy: Do you love me?
 * Kyle: Love you? I don't even love myself.
 * Lucy: Kyle, what is it? Is it something I've said or something I've done or should have done?
 * Kyle: I can't tell you. I'm afraid. It's like I was deep in a mountain pass, snowcaps hanging over my head. If I make a sound, snow might all come tumbling down... bury me... alive.

 * Lucy: Bored?
 * Mitch: Disgusted. Mostly with myself.
 * Lucy: But I - I need you here.
 * Mitch: That's the only reason I stayed - to help you.
 * Lucy: Not Kyle?
 * Mitch: I made a resolution last week. It goes like this - To Hell With The Hadleys.
 * Lucy: I'm a Hadley.
 * Mitch: Not to me you're not.
 * Lucy: I respect my marriage.
 * Mitch: Haven't I?

 * Marylee: That was no lady. That was your wife.
 * Kyle: Where are they going?
 * Marylee: I don't know. Where would you take your best friend's wife?
 * Kyle: You're a real sweet kid.
 * Marylee: Now be nice to me, brother. One morning we'll wake up and we'll be all alone together.
 * Kyle: Go on, sister. Tell me another pretty story.
 * Marylee: Once upon a time, there was a poor little rich boy.
 * Kyle: Kyle Hadley by name.
 * Marylee: Who pickled his tiny brain with gin and bourbon.
 * Kyle: Not so. Scotch.
 * Marylee: Till he got so stinking blind he couldn't see what was going on right under his big red nose.
 * Kyle: But his charming, righteous little sister did.
 * Marylee: Yes, she saw the end of a marriage and the beginning of a love affair.
 * Kyle: You're a filthy liar.
 * Marylee: I'm filthy — period. But you don't have to take my word for anything. Just try keeping your head clear and your eyes open.
 * Kyle: Why should you care? You've never cared about me.
 * Marylee: Or your wife.
 * Kyle: Why are you putting your two cents in?
 * Marylee: Only because of Mitch. Because I've never had him, and your wife has. [Kyle slaps her]

 * Lucy: [after telling him she is pregnant] Kyle, it's true.
 * Kyle: You shouldn't have done that to me. You shouldn't have.
 * Lucy: What are you talking about?
 * Kyle: Mitch. You and the Mitch.
 * Lucy: Don't say that Kyle. Don't even think it.
 * Kyle: What did you think? You think I was just a drunken idiot? That I'd believe you? That I'd let you use my name? Take my money? You can rot in hell! You, Mitch, and your little...
 * Lucy: Kyle, I've had nothing to do with Mitch.
 * Kyle: [striking out with rage] You dirty tramp!

 * Kyle: [waving a pistol around] You lousy white trash. You no-account, two-faced dog. I'm gonna watch you cringe. Then I'm gonna put a bullet in your belly...my best friend. My lifelong pal. What a laugh! You crawlin' snake. You crept in here, sponged off us Hadleys, stole everything I ever wanted, everything I ever had...You made me small in my father's eyes. You made my sister spit at me. Then, you stole my wife.
 * Mitch: Kyle, we've never lied to each other. And I'm tellin' you now, I never touched Lucy, only because she's your wife. Get this straight. The child would have been yours. Not mine. Yours.
 * [they struggle and Kyle is shot]
 * Kyle: What are we doing here, Mitch?... Let's go down to the river, where we belong. I'll be down at the river, waiting, waiting.

 * Marylee: I could tell the police that I saw you kill my dear brother.
 * Mitch: You could.
 * Marylee: On the other hand, a wife wouldn't and couldn't testify against her own husband.
 * Mitch: You know, for a beautiful girl, you can look real ugly sometimes. Ask yourself this: Would I ever be enough for you?
 * Marylee: I could talk you right into the state penitentiary.
 * Mitch: You're sick, Marylee. Your sickness won't be cured by marrying me. Before it's too late, you'd better face up to yourself. Look how far we've come from the river.

 * selected by Kalki

 * 2005

 * selected by Kalki

 * 2008
 * Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment. ~ Harlan Ellison
 * proposed by Kalki

 * 2009
 * The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us the less taste we shall have for the destruction of our race. Wonder and humility are wholesome emotions, and they do not exist side by side with a lust for destruction. ~ Rachel Carson
 * proposed by Zarbon

 * I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build. ~ Julia Ward Howe
 * proposed by Zarbon

 * 2011
 * This is a test. Take notes. This will count as 3/4 of your final grade. Hints: remember, in chess, kings cancel each other out and cannot occupy adjacent squares, are therefore all-powerful and totally powerless, cannot affect each other, produce stalemate. Hinduism is a polytheistic religion; the sect of Atman worships the divine spark of life within Man; in effect saying, "Thou art God." Provisos of equal time are not served by one viewpoint having media access to two hundred million people in prime time while opposing viewpoints are provided with a soapbox on the corner. Not everyone tells the truth. ~ Harlan Ellison ~

- Not every painter has a gift for painting, in fact, many painters are disappointed when they meet with difficulties in art. Painting done under pressure by artists without the necessary talent can only give rise to formlessness, as painting is a profession that requires peace of mind. The painter must always seek the essence of things, always represent the essential characteristics and emotions of the person he is painting... ~ Titian (died 27 August 1576; date of birth unknown)

The sensualist will find sensuality in Titian; the thinker will find thought; the saint, sanctity; the colourist, colour; the anatomist, form; and yet the picture will never be a popular one in the full sense, for none of these narrower people will find their special taste so alone consulted, as that the qualities which would ensure their gratification shall be sifted or separated from others; they are checked by the presence of the other qualities which ensure the gratification of other men. ~ John Ruskin

Although Titian's works seem to many to have been created without much effort, this is far from the truth and those who think so are deceiving themselves. In fact, it is clear that Titian retouched his pictures, going over them with his colours several times, so that he must obviously have taken great pains. The method he used is judicious, beautiful, and astonishing, for it makes pictures appear alive and painted with great art, but it conceals the labour that has gone into them. ~ Giorgio Vasari

 * The thing most feared in secret always happens. I write: oh Thou, have mercy. And then? All it takes is a little courage. The more the pain grows clear and definite, the more the instinct for life asserts itself and the thought of suicide recedes. It seemed easy when I thought of it. Weak women have done it. It takes humility, not pride. All this is sickening. Not words. An act. I won't write any more. ~ Cesare Pavese

 * 2004
 * Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do. ~ Anonymous
 * The above variant was how this quotation was originally posted. It seems to be derived from this statement since attributed to a specific author: Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. ~ Isaac Asimov
 * selected by Kalki

 * 2005
 * Could you see the storm rising? Could you see the guy who was driving? Could you climb higher and higher? Could you climb right over the top? ~ Kate Bush
 * proposed by Kalki, from "King of the Mountain", the first single from Bush's first album in 12 years, made available for download on 27 September 2005.

 * 2006
 * The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule. ~ Samuel Adams (born 27 September 1722)
 * proposed by Kalki

 * 2007
 * You can decide what you want to eat for dinner, you can decide to go away for the weekend, and you can decide what clothes you’re going to wear in the morning, but when it comes to artistic things, there’s never a rhyme or reason. It’s, like, they just happen. And they happen when they happen. ~ Meat Loaf
 * proposed by Kalki

 * 2008
 * If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave. ~ Samuel Adams
 * proposed by Kalki

 * 2009
 * The liberties of our Country, the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending at all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have receiv'd them as a fair Inheritance from our worthy Ancestors: They purchas'd them for us with toil and danger and expence of treasure and blood; and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle; or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Of the latter we are in most danger at present: Let us therefore be aware of it. Let us contemplate our forefathers and posterity; and resolve to maintain the rights bequeath'd to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. — Instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance ~ Samuel Adams ~
 * proposed by InvisibleSun

 * 2010
 * In regard to religion, mutual toleration in the different professions thereof is what all good and candid minds in all ages have ever practised, and, both by precept and example, inculcated on mankind. ~ Samuel Adams
 * proposed by Kalki

 * 2011
 * We must not conclude merely upon a man's haranguing upon liberty, and using the charming sound, that he is fit to be trusted with the liberties of his country. It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, — to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves. It is not, I say, unfrequent to see such instances, though at the same time I esteem it a justice due to my country to say that it is not without shining examples of the contrary kind; — examples of men of a distinguished attachment to this same liberty I have been describing; whom no hopes could draw, no terrors could drive, from steadily pursuing, in their sphere, the true interests of their country; whose fidelity has been tried in the nicest and tenderest manner, and has been ever firm and unshaken. The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people. ~ Samuel Adams

October 27 Quotes of the day from previous years:

 * 2004
 * The antagonism between science and religion, about which we hear so much, appears to me to be purely factitious — fabricated, on the one hand, by short-sighted religious people who confound a certain branch of science, theology, with religion; and, on the other, by equally short-sighted scientific people who forget that science takes for its province only that which is susceptible of clear intellectual comprehension; and that, outside the boundaries of that province, they must be content with imagination, with hope, and with ignorance. ~ T. H. Huxley
 * selected by Kalki

 * 2005
 * It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt (born 27 October 1858)
 * proposed by AllanHainey

 * 2006
 * I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love's not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I'll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time. ~ Sylvia Plath (born 27 October 1932)
 * proposed by InvisibleSun

 * 2007
 * Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
 * proposed by AllanHainey

 * 2008
 * Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education. ~ Alfred Whitney Griswold
 * proposed by Zarbon

 * 2009
 * Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion. ~ Dylan Thomas ~

 * 2010
 * No man is justified in doing evil on the grounds of expediency. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
 * proposed by MosheZadka

 * 2011
 * Could Hamlet have been written by a committee, or the Mona Lisa painted by a club? Could the New Testament have been composed as a conference report? Creative ideas do not spring from groups. They spring from individuals. The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam, whether it takes ultimate shape in a law of physics or a law of the land, a poem or a policy, a sonata or a mechanical computer. ~ Alfred Whitney Griswold

 * 3 Kalki 23:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC) with very strong lean toward 4. 4 Kalki 00:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC) I'm inclined to use this one this year in this fuller form despite having previously used the most commonly quoted portion of it a few years ago. 2 ~ Kalki 21:36, 8 October 2005 (UTC) but would prefer something else this year, as the major portion of this was just recently used last month (September 2005).
 * 1 because I didn't know it had already been used. I personally love this quote because it's important to never be caught off guard and always be prepared. The message is one of my favorites, but the fact that the initial message was already used, I don't see the purpose of putting it up again, just for "I have always been fond of the West African proverb"...that part was duly taken out...it isn't the part that holds meaning and it's the entering, if you will, into the quote...I would normally have given this a 4, but since it was already used, I don't see the point. Zarbon 05:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The point of using the fuller quote is that the ending is rarely quoted and the statement is usually cited as one originating with TR himself, but in his earliest mentions of it, he clearly states it to be a proverb he himself had heard. I think that additional information is significant enough to emphasize in a quote of the day. ~ Kalki 15:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I still don't think it's worth it until all other suggestions are used. Then we can think about the actual reusing of quotes already used just for missing portions. The portion that was left out isn't really important to begin with for this specific quote. The message of the quote comes from the portion that was already used. - Zarbon 12:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If others cannot agree that this quote is one of the best, and rank it a 4, I would prefer to use : "No man is justified in doing evil on the grounds of expediency." ~ Theodore Roosevelt, suggested below, and would be willing to rank that a 4. The nazi quote currently ranked 4 by 2 user names is one I find detestable. ~ Kalki 22:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm a riddle in nine syllables, An elephant, a ponderous house, A melon strolling on two tendrils. O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers! This loaf's big with its yeasty rising. Money's new-minted in this fat purse. I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf. I've eaten a bag of green apples, Boarded the train there's no getting off. ~ Sylvia Plath

What would you do if your country's welfare depended on labor? When a ship is in a storm it requires one captain. ~ Fritz Sauckel (born October 27)
 * 4 because under the worst conditions, one man can steer better than thousands. This is a nice dynamic comparison between the living conditions of that era and the job duty of a naval officer. Zarbon 16:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 0 Kalki 22:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC) 2 Kalki 00:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC) Though part of the statement is valid, the quote makes several deplorable presumptions, and is an authoritarian argument by one of the servants of one of the vilest regimes in human history. I cannot agree that this is acceptable as a quote of the day here.

You can tear a poem apart to see what makes it technically tick... You're back with the mystery of having been moved by words. The best craftsmanship always leaves holes and gaps in the works of the poem so that something that is not in the poem can creep, crawl, flash, or thunder in. The joy and function of poetry is, and was, the celebration of man, which is also the celebration of God. ~ Dylan Thomas

Thanksgiving provides a formal context in which to consider the instances of kindness that have enlightened our lives, for moments of grace that have gotten us through when all seemed lost. These are fine and sentimental subjects for contemplation. ~ Jon Carroll

Or

I pray for you, that all your misgivings will be melted to thanksgivings. Remember that the shadow a thing casts often far exceeds the size of the thing itself (especially if the light be low on the horizon) and though some future fear may strut brave darkness as you approach, the thing itself will be but a speck when seen from beyond. Oh that He would restore us often with that 'aspect from beyond,' to see a thing as He sees it, to remember that He dealeth with us as with sons. ~ Jim Elliot

E. T. A. Hoffmann

Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann (24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822), better known by his pen name E. T. A. Hoffmann, was a German Romantic author of fantasy and horror, a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. He is the subject and hero of Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffmann, a fictionalized account.

Hoffmann's stories were tremendously influential in the 19th century, and he is one of the key authors of the Romantic movement.

Quotes

 * The magic of music is so strong, getting stronger, it should break any shackle of another art.
 * Beethovens Instrumentalmusik

Quotes about E. T. A. Hoffmann

 * The romantics of the 19th century thought that the artist is at war with society, and must be destroyed by it eventually; this is the theme of all of Hoffmann's stories. I suggested -- in The Outsider and the subsequent five books of the 'cycle' -- that the fault lies partly with the artist, for preferring pessimism and self-pity to serious thought, and that the 'outsider' must eventually learn to accept his position as a spiritual leader of society. The church once provided the link between 'outsiders' and society, standing for the world of values, of 'meanings; beyond the present. The artists of the 19th century found themselves without this visible symbol of non-material values, and were, as Hoffmann says, frequently destroyed by society, or by their own destiny of standing outside it. I concluded that they must learn to stand alone, to be twice as strong, for half the problems of our civilization are due to 'the treason of the intellectual', their tendency to opt out and collapse in self-pity
 * Colin Wilson in Tree By Tolkien p. 25-26 (1974)

Mutiny on the Bounty (1935 film)

Mutiny on the Bounty is a 1935 film about the real-life mutiny aboard the HMAV Bounty lead by Fletcher Christian against the ship's captain, William Bligh. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1935.
 * Directed by Frank Lloyd. Written by Talbot Jennings, Jules Furthman, and Carey Wilson, based on the novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall.

A Thousand Hours of Hell For One Moment of Love! taglines

Capt. William Bligh

 * [to Christian] They respect but one law - the law of fear...I expect you to carry out whatever orders I give, whenever I give them.
 * The ship's company will remember that I am your captain, your judge, and your jury. You do your duty and we may get along. Whatever happens, you'll do your duty.
 * During the recent heavy weather, I've had the opportunity to watch all of you at work on deck and aloft. You don't know wood from canvas! And it seems you don't want to learn! Well, I'll have to give you a lesson.
 * [to a crewman who begs for water] I'll give you water. Mr. Morrison. Keel haul this man.
 * Can you understand this, Mr. Byam? Discipline is the thing. A seaman's a seaman. A captain's a captain. And a midshipman, Sir Joseph or no Sir Joseph, is the lowest form of animal life in the British Navy.

Lt. Fletcher Christian

 * [about Bligh] I've never known a better seaman, but as a man, he's a snake. He doesn't punish for discipline. He likes to see men crawl. Sometimes, I'd like to push his poison down his own throat.
 * [to Bligh] Now you've given your last command on this ship. We'll be men again if we hang for it.
 * [to Bligh] I'll take my chance against the law. You'll take yours against the sea.
 * [to Byam] When you're back in England with the fleet again, you'll hear the hue and cry against me. From now on, they'll spell mutiny with my name. I regret that.
 * [to Bligh]You have obtained degrees from the Navy, but you have not got our admiration

Midshipman Roger Byam

 * To the voyage of the Bounty. Still waters of the great golden sea. Flying fish like streaks of silver, and mermaids that sing in the night. The Southern Cross and all the stars on the other side of the world.
 * My lord, much as I desire to live, I'm not afraid to die. Since I first sailed on the Bounty over four years ago, I've known how men can be made to suffer worse things than death, cruelly, beyond duty, beyond necessity. Captain Bligh, you've told your story of mutiny on the Bounty, how men plotted against you, seized your ship, cast you adrift in an open boat, a great venture in science brought to nothing, two British ships lost. But there's another story, Captain Bligh, of ten cocoanuts and two cheeses. A story of a man who robbed his seamen, cursed them, flogged them, not to punish but to break their spirit. A story of greed and tyranny, and of anger against it, of what it cost.
 * One man, my lord, would not endure such tyranny. That's why you hounded him. That's why you hate him, hate his friends. And that's why you're beaten. Fletcher Christian's still free. Christian lost, too, my lord. God knows he's judged himself more harshly than you could judge him. I say to his father, 'He was my friend. No finer man ever lived.' I don't try to justify his crime, his mutiny, but I condemn the tyranny that drove him to it. I don't speak here for myself alone or for these men you condemn. I speak in their names, in Fletcher Christian's name, for all men at sea. These men don't ask for comfort. They don't ask for safety. If they could speak to you they'd say, 'Let us choose to do our duty willingly, not the choice of a slave, but the choice of free Englishmen.' They ask only the freedom that England expects for every man. If one man among you believe that - one man - he could command the fleets of England. He could sweep the seas for England. If he called his men to their duty not by flaying their backs, but by lifting their hearts, their... That's all.

Dialogue

 * Bligh: What's your name?
 * Seaman Ellison: Thomas Ellison, sir. Pressed into service. I've got a wife, a baby!
 * Bligh: I asked your name, not the history of your misfortunes.

 * Bligh: But you're taking my ship. My ship.
 * Christian: Your ship? The King's ship, you mean. And you're not fit to command it. Into the boat!
 * Bligh: Casting me adrift thirty five hundred miles from a port of call. You're sending me to my doom, eh? Well, you're wrong, Christian! I'll take this boat, as she floats, to England if I must. I'll live to see you - all of ya - hanging from the highest yard arm in the British fleet!

Mutiny on the Bounty (1962 film)

Mutiny on the Bounty is a 1962 film about the real-life mutiny aboard the HMAV Bounty lead by Fletcher Christian against the ship's captain, William Bligh.
 * Directed by Lewis Milestone. Written by Charles Lederer, based on the novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall.

The mightiest excitement that ever swept across the sea or the screen! taglines

Captain William Bligh

 * Now don't mistake me. I'm not advising cruelty or brutality with no purpose. My point is that cruelty with purpose is not cruelty - it's efficiency. Then a man will never disobey once he's watched his mate's backbone laid bare. He'll see the flesh jump, hear the whistle of the whip for the rest of his life.
 * It is a matter of super-natural indifference to me, whether you contaminate the natives or the natives contaminate you. I have but one concern - our mission. Let any one of you provoke an incident which endangers it and I shall cause that man to curse his mother for giving him birth.
 * Midshipmen - be a dull navy without them. Now get that slut off my ship.
 * While our mission remains unfulfilled I'm not in any port, Mr Fryer, I'm in command - where you may find one day - it's always lonely. You see, command allows no intimacies. You can hardly expect unquestioning obedience from last night's partner in a debauch.
 * I'm not leaving you Mr Christian, not ever. Go to the dirtiest little corner of the world I'll be there, right behind you, with a rope in my hand.
 * The King's navy will not rest until every mutineer is captured and executed. Wherever you go, wherever you hide a thousand ships will search you out.

1st Lt. Fletcher Christian

 * We need only persuade the British people of something they already know - that inhumanity is its poorest servant.
 * [to Captain Bligh] But I assure you, sir, that the execution of my duties is entirely unaffected by my private opinion of you.

Others

 * John Mills: There's no chance for people like us to go back to England, give Bligh a bad name and walk free men ourselves. And anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't got the sense that God gave geese.
 * Court-martial Judge: The court considers it has obligation to add comment to its verdict. By the force of evidentiary conclusions you, Captain William Bligh, stand absolved of military misdeed. Yet, officers of stainless record and seamen voluntarily all were moved to mutiny against you. Your methods, so far as this court can discern, show what we shall cautiously term an excess of zeal. We cannot condemn zeal. We cannot rebuke an officer who has administered discipline according to the articles of war but the articles are fallible, as any articles are bound to be. No code can cover all contingencies. We cannot put justice aboard our ships in books. Justice and decency are carried in the heart of the captain, or they be not aboard. It is for this reason that the Admiralty has always sought to appoint its officers from the ranks of gentlemen. The court regrets to note that the appointment of Captain William Bligh was, in that respect, a failure.

Dialogue

 * Fletcher Christian: I was just thinking, sir, that our little errand for groceries might wind up in a page of naval history if we succeed in negotiating The Horn in the dead of winter.
 * Captain Bligh: Why shouldn't we succeed? Admiral Anderson did.
 * Fletcher Christian: Yes, but of course he didn't choose to attempt it in a ninety-one-foot chamber pot. In any event, his was the only ship to do it and I believe he lost fifty percent of his crew.

 * Captain Bligh: I wonder why an alleged gentleman should give his first loyalty to ordinary seamen.
 * Fletcher Christian: Instead of to other alleged gentlemen?
 * Captain Bligh: Impertinence noted. It shall be logged. Do you care to enlarge the entry?
 * Fletcher Christian: Yes, only with this observation, which I will report to the Admiralty in any case: in my years of service I have never met an officer who inflicted punishment upon men with such incredible relish. Sickening.
 * Captain Bligh: Then go and be sick in your cabin, Mr Christian. I have never met a naval officer who was so proud of a weak stomach.

 * Captain Bligh: In a civilised society, certain lewd intentions towards the female members of one's family would be regarded as a, well, as an insult. Do you follow me?
 * Fletcher Christian: I think so, sir.
 * Captain Bligh: But in Tahiti, the insult lies in the omission of those lewd intentions. Manners that would offend a dock-side harlot seem to be the only acceptable behaviour to King Hitihiti.

 * Captain Bligh: Mr Christian! Kindly give me an explanation..
 * Fletcher Christian: Williams is been drinking sea water sir.. I was giving him some fresh water..I'm afraid he'll die without it.
 * Captain Bligh: You'll give no one water without my permission Mr. Christian! Take that ladle below!
 * Fletcher Christian: Aye-aye sir..
 * [Christian gives water to Williams and Captain Bligh knocks his hand.. Mr. Christian then knocks down Captain Bligh]
 * Fletcher Christian: You bloody Bastard...You'll not put your foot on me again!

 * Fletcher Christian: There'll be no more killing aboard this ship, not even Captain Bligh.
 * Captain Bligh: If that's an attempt to earn clemency, I spit on it.
 * Fletcher Christian: You remarkable pig. You can thank whatever pig god you pray to that you haven't turned me into a murderer.

 * Midshipman Young: Fletcher, I'm proud to be with you.

A biographical film, or biopic, is a film that dramatizes the life of a non-fictional or historically-based person or people. Such films show the life of a historical person and the central character’s real name is used. They differ from films "based on a true story" or “historical drama films" in that they attempt to comprehensively tell a person’s life story or at least the most historically important years of their lives.
