Mikhail Bulgakov

Mikhail Afanasievich Bulgakov (15 May [O.S. 3 May] 1891 – 10 March 1940) was a Russian-language novelist and playwright of the first half of the 20th century.

The Master and Margarita (1967)

 * Quotations are sourced from published English translations of the original work. The translations are abbreviated as:
 * B/O= Diana Burgin and Katherine O'Connor
 * MG= Michael Glenny
 * MK= Michael Karpelson
 * P/V= Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky

 * Да, человек смертен, но это было бы ещё полбеды. Плохо то, что он иногда внезапно смертен, вот в чём фокус!
 * 'Yes, man is mortal, but that would be only half the trouble. The worst of it is that he's sometimes unexpectedly mortal - there's the trick!'
 * Book One in 'Never Talk with Strangers', P/V

 * 'Kant ought to be arrested and given three years in Solovki asylum for that "proof" of his!' Ivan Nikolayich burst out completely unexpectedly. 'Ivan!' whispered Berlioz, embarrassed. But the suggestion to pack Kant off to an asylum not only did not surprise the stranger but actually delighted him. 'Exactly, exactly!' he cried and his green left eye, turned on Berlioz glittered. 'That's exactly the place for him! I said to him myself that morning at breakfast: "If you'll forgive me, professor, your theory is no good. It may be clever but it's horribly incomprehensible. People will think you're mad."' Berlioz's eyes bulged. At breakfast...to Kant?
 * Book One in 'Never Talk to Strangers', MG, here Woland, Berlioz and Ivan are talking about Kant's views on existence of God

 * In fact, I'm beginning to fear that this confusion will go on for a long time. And all because he writes down what I said incorrectly.
 * Book One in 'Pontius Pilate', B/O, here Yeshua is speaking to Pontius Pilate

 * 'Oh, no, you don't look like a halfwit,' the procurator replied quietly and smiled some strange smile.
 * Book One in 'Pontius Pilate', P/V, here Pontius Pilate addresses Yeshua

 * 'I do not know these good men,' replied the prisoner.
 * 'Is that the truth?'
 * 'It is.'
 * 'And now tell me why you always use that expression "good men"? Is
 * that what you call everybody?'
 * 'Yes, everybody,' answered the prisoner. 'There are no evil people on
 * earth.'
 * Book One in 'Pontius Pilate', MK, here Yeshua and Pontius Pilate are in conversation

 * It's all over, so let's not burden the telegraph system.
 * Book One in 'The Incident at Griboyedov', B/O

 * Well, as everyone knows, once witchcraft gets started, there's no stopping it.
 * Book One in the chapter 'Schizophrenia, as Predicted', B/O

 * Ryukhin showed himself no mercy-'I don't believe in anything I've ever written!'
 * Book One in 'Schizophrenia, as Predicted', B/O

 * Foreign visitors . . . how impressed you all are with foreign visitors! But they come in many different varieties.
 * Book One in 'The Evil Apartment', B/O

 * ‘He's clever,' thought Ivan,' I must admit there are some smart people even among the intelligentsia'
 * Book One in 'The Duel Between the Professor and the Poet', B/O

 * [S]aid the not entirely suppressed old Ivan, rearing his head from inside the new one, although without much confidence.
 * Book One in 'Black Magic and Its Expose', B/O

 * There was something uncommonly fake and uncertain in every line of these articles, depite their threatening and self-assured tone. I kept thinking . . . that the authors of these articles weren't saying what they wanted to say, and that that was why they were so furious.
 * Book One in 'Enter the Hero', B/O

 * The tongue can conceal the truth, but the eyes never! You're asked an unexpected question, you don't even flinch, it takes just a second to get yourself under control, you know just what you have to say to hide the truth, and you speak very convincingly, and nothing in your face twitches to give you away. But the truth, alas, has been disturbed by the question, and it rises up from the depths of your soul to flicker in your eyes and all is lost.
 * Book One in 'Nikanor Ivanovich's Dream', B/O

 * 'What is all this? Damn me if I don't have you thrown out of here!' The beast just smiled and said: 'Damn you, I think you said? Very well!'
 * Book One in 'A Day of Anxiety', MG

 * 'What's the use of dying in a ward surrounded by a lot of groaning and croaking  incurables? Wouldn't it be much better to throw a party with that twenty-seven thousand and take poison and depart for the other world to the sound of violins, surrounded by lovely drunken girls and happy friends?'
 * Book One in 'Unwelcome Visitors', MG

 * `Second freshness - that's what is nonsense! There is only one freshness - the first - and it is also the last. And if sturgeon is of the second freshness, that means it is simply rotten.'
 * Book One in 'Hapless Visitors', P/V

 * We have no idea whether there were any other strange occurences in Moscow that night, and we have no intention of trying to find out, since the time has come for us to proceed to Part Two of this true narrative. Follow me, reader!
 * Book One in 'Unlucky Visitors', B/O, the last lines of Book One

 * Follow me reader! Who told you that there is no true, faithful, eternal love in this world! May the liar's vile tongue be cut out!
 * Book Two in 'Margarita', P/V, opening lines of Book Two

 * 'Once upon a time there was a lady. She had no children, and no happiness either. And at first she cried for a long time, but then she became wicked . . .'
 * Book Two in 'Flight', B/O, Margarita talking about herself to a young girl

 * The hope that she might regain her happiness made her fearless.

 * No documents, no person.
 * Book Two in 'The Liberation of the Master', B/O

 * Book Two in 'The Master is Released', MG

 * 'Never ask for anything! Never for anything, and especially from those who are stronger than you. They'll make the offer themselves, and give everything themselves.'
 * Book Two in 'The Extraction of the Master', P/V, here Woland addresses Margarita

 * 'I had the pleasure of meeting that young man at the Patriarch's Ponds. He almost drove me mad myself, proving to me that I don't exist. But you do believe that it is really I?'
 * Book Two in 'The Extraction of the Master, P/V, here Woland addresses the Master about Ivan (alias "Homless")

 * 'For some reason, cats are usually addressed familiarly, though no cat has ever drunk bruderschaft with anyone.'
 * Book Two in 'The Extraction of the Master', P/V

 * It was clear to him that he had lost something irretrievably that day, and that now he wanted to make up for the loss with minor, inconsequential, and most importantly, belated measures.
 * Book Two in 'How the Procurator Tried to Save Judas of Karioth', B/O

 * The procurator studied the new arrival with avid, and slightly fearful eyes. It was the kind of look one gives someone one has heard of and thought a lot about, and whom one is meeting for the first time.
 * Book Two in 'The Burial', B/O

 * Cowardice was undoubtedly one of the most terrible vices - thus spoke Yeshua Ha-Nozri. 'No, philosopher, I disagree with you: it is the most terrible vice!'
 * Book Two in 'The Burial', P/V, here Pontius Pilate responds to Yeshua

 * Only if some microorganism doesn't attack these tender hothouse plants and eat away at their roots, only if they don't rot! And that can happen with pineapples! Oh, yes, indeed it can!
 * Book Two in 'The End of Apartment No. 50', B/O

 * 'You're not Dostoevsky,' said the citizeness, who was getting muddled by Koroviev.
 * 'Well, who knows, who knows,' he replied.
 * 'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently.
 * 'I protest!' Behemoth exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky is immortal!'
 * Book Two in 'The Last Adventures of Koroviev and Behemoth', P/V

 * They have read your novel . . . and they said only one thing, that, unfortunately, it is not finished. So I wanted to show you your hero. He has been sitting here for about two thousand years, sleeping, but, when the moon is full, he is tormented, as you see, by insomnia. And it torments not only him, but his faithful guardian, the dog. If it is true that cowardice is the most grave vice, then the dog, at least, is not guilty of it. The only thing that brave creature ever feared was thunderstorms. But what can be done, the one who loves must share the fate of the one who is loved.
 * Book Two in 'Time to Go! Time to Go!', B/O, here Woland is speaking to the Master about Pontius Pilate

 * Gods, my gods! How sad the earth is at eventide! How mysterious are the mists over the swamps. Anyone who has wandered in these mists, who has suffered a great deal before death, or flown above the earth, bearing a burden beyond his strength knows this. Someone who is exhausted knows this. And without regret he forsakes the mists of the earth, its swamps and rivers, and sinks into the arms of death with a light heart knowing that death alone . ..
 * Book Two in 'Time to Go! Time to Go!', B/O

 * How sad, ye gods, how sad the world is at evening, how mysterious the mists over the swamps. You will know it when you have suffered greatly before dying, when you have walked through the world carrying an unbearable burden. You know it too when you are weary and ready to leave this earth without regret; it's mists, it's swamps and it's rivers; ready to give yourself into the arms of death with a light heart, knowing that death alone can comfort you.
 * Book Two in 'Absolution and Eternal Refuge', MG. (Note: Alternate translation of above passage ('Gods, my gods...'))

Quotes about Bulgakov

 * In Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita, the Devil comes to Moscow. What follows is a fearful spiral of denunciation, disappearance and death, at once arbitrary and spiteful, calculated and yet deranged. No work better captures the loathsome quality of the Terror; no scene gets closer to illuminating the surreal atmosphere of the show trials than Nikanor Bosoy's nightmare of being exposed as a foreign currency dealer while sitting in the audience of a variety show in a Moscow theatre. For not every act in the drama required Stalin's instigation; his role was to create an environment in which ordinary men and women - even members of the same family - would denounce one another; in which today's torturer could be tomorrow's victim; in which today's camp commandant could spend the night in the punishment cells.
 * Niall Ferguson, The War of the World: Twentieth-Century Conflict and the Descent of the West (2006), pp. 210-211

The Edge (film)

The Edge is a 1997 survival and relationship drama film about an intellectual billionaire and two other men who struggle to band together and survive after getting stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with a blood-thirsty Kodiak Bear hunting them down.
 * Directed by Lee Tamahori. Written by David Mamet.

'''They Were Fighting Over A Woman When The Plane Went Down. Now, Their Only Chance For Survival Is Each Other.'''

Charles Morse

 * We're all put to the test... but it never comes in the form or at the point we would prefer, does it?

 * Never feel sorry for a man who owns a plane

 * What one man can do, another can do!

 * Because today, I'm going to kill the motherfucker!

 * Did you know you can shine shoes with the inside of a banana peel?

 * Just because you're lost doesn't mean to say that your compass is broken.

Stephen

 * A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

Bob

 * Hey... I'm dying. I'm dying and I never did a god damn thing.

 * That doesn't feel South, Charles.

Dialogue

 * Charles Morse: [moments before the plane flies into a flock of wild birds] So what do you value me for, Bob?
 * Robert Green: I like your style, your wife's pretty cute too.
 * Charles Morse: So how are you planning to kill me?

 * [Stephen, Charles and Robert walking up to peak of mountain looking for a place to start a signal fire]
 * Stephen: Robert why do you think they'll even come looking for us?
 * Robert Green: Our friend is a billionaire, you know what happens when you misplace one?

 * Charles Morse: You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame.
 * Stephen: What?
 * Charles Morse: Yeah, see, they die of shame. "What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?" And so they sit there and they... die. Because they didn't do the one thing that would save their lives.
 * Robert Green: And what is that, Charles?
 * Charles Morse: Thinking.

 * Charles Morse: [after successfully fighting a bear] For all my life, I've have wanted to do something that was, um, that was unequivocal.
 * Robert Green: Well, Charlie, I certainly think this qualifies.
 * Charles Morse: Or something.
 * Robert Green: See, Charles, that's why they call it personal growth. A month ago, old Smokey here would've reared up, you probably would've called your lawyer!
 * Charles Morse: Nah, I wouldn't do that to an animal.

 * Robert Green: [Eating] Wish we had some salt.
 * Charles Morse: You know, you can, uh... you can season meat with gunpowder. Did you know that?
 * Robert Green: Wish we had some gunpowder.

 * Charles Morse: You saved me.
 * Robert Green: Get over it, Charles - I just need you to navigate.
 * Charles Morse: You saved my life.
 * Robert Green: Well, I couldn't kill you with Stephen around. I'd have to kill him too, and he's the only one that knows how I like my coffee.
 * Charles Morse: Come on, you saved my life.
 * Robert Green: Buy me something nice when we get home.
 * Charles Morse: How'd you like your coffee?
 * Robert Green: Huh. I like my coffee like I like my women.
 * Stephen: Bitter and murky!

 * Reporter #1: Mr. Morse, what happened to your friends?
 * Reporter #2: How did they die?
 * Charles Morse: They died... saving my life.

Donovan

Donovan Philips Leitch (born 10 May 1946), most commonly referred to simply as Donovan, is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Emerging from the British folk scene, he developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia and world music.

Quotes

 * The softer you sing, the louder you're heard.
 * Interview in the first issue Rolling Stone magazine (9 November 1967); also in Pop Chronicles, Show 48 - The British are Coming! The British are Coming!: With an emphasis on Donovan, the Bee Gees and the Who.

 * The magic that you hear in tales and things was all based around the Celtic mythology of England, which is Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. I just drain from that source. I just drain everything. So the magic is there.
 * Interview in Rolling Stone (9 November 1967)

 * We are magic. It is magic that we're walking around. It's fantastic magic. Some people would call it miracles; I like to call it magic. … Yes, I'm very aware of this. Yes, the more aware I get, the more I can understand how big it is, how big it will get. It'll be harder to comprehend; that's why I have to go along with it, 'cause its so vast. To say to somebody that God is everything that lives and ever has lived and ever will live, and you're never going to touch and see, smell and be everything that is God. Magic is very hard to comprehend.
 * Interview in Rolling Stone (9 November 1967)

 * It seemed — in 1968 — the possibilities of peace and brotherhood could be realised that very year. We're still working on it.
 * During a performance for "Beatle Week" in Liverpool (27 August 2006), as prelude to singing "Hurdy Gurdy Man" (YouTube video)

Catch The Wind (1965)

 * In the chilly hours and minutes Of uncertainty I want to be In the warm hold of your lovin' mind. To feel you all around me And to take your hand Along the sand, Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

 * For me to love you now Would be the sweetest thing, 'Twould make me sing, Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

 * When rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near to kill my fears, To help me to leave all my blues behind. For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be And long to be, Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Sunshine Superman (1966)

 * Sunshine came softly through my a-window today Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways It'll take time, I know it but in a while You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style 'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine.
 * "Sunshine Superman"

 * I'll tell you right now Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find...
 * "Sunshine Superman"

 * I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind 'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine.
 * "Sunshine Superman"

Season Of The Witch

 * When I look out my window, Many sights to see. And when I look in my window, So many different people to be...

 * You've got to pick up every stitch. Mmm... must be the season of the witch, Must be the season of the witch.

Mellow Yellow (1966)

 * I'm just mad about Saffron Saffron's mad about me I'm just mad about Saffron She's just mad about me.

 * They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly) They call me mellow yellow...

 * I'm just mad about Fourteen Fourteen's mad about me

 * Electrical banana Is gonna be a sudden craze Electrical banana Is bound to be the very next phase...

A Gift from a Flower to a Garden (1967)

 * Wear your love like heaven.
 * "Wear Your Love Like Heaven"

 * Lord, kiss me once more, fill me with song Allah, kiss me once more that I may, that I may Wear my love like heaven Wear my love like Wear my love like heaven.
 * "Wear Your Love Like Heaven"

Hurdy Gurdy Man (1967)

 * Thrown like a star in my vast sleep I open my eyes to take a peep To find that I was by the sea Gazing with tranquillity.  'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man Came singing songs of love...

 * Histories of ages past Unenlightened shadows cast. Down through all eternity The crying of humanity. 'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man Comes singing songs of love...
 * In a performance during "Beatle Week" in Liverpool (27 August 2006), Donovan sang lyrics he declared that George Harrison had improvised for "Hurdy Gurdy Man":
 * When the truth gets buried deep, Beneath the thoughts] of years of [[sleep, Time demands a turnaround, And once again the truth is found.

Atlantis (1968)

 * The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture. The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis. Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth. On board were the Twelve: The Poet, the Physician, the Farmer, the Scientist, The Magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends. Though gods they were —
 * Spoken prelude (varies slightly among versions)

 * Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new: Hail Atlantis!
 * Spoken prelude

 * Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
 * Repeated chorus.

Grip interview (1997)

 * Donovan interview in Grip Monthly #5 (March 1997)

 * The most important of my achievements, if you want to call them that, was that I successfully introduced mystical ideas into pop culture, which was my obsession and my compulsion when I was 16 years old. So, behind all of this fame and fortune, there was a seeker, on a spiritual path — a young man who wanted to discover and share with others an alternative way of looking at the world. I wanted to save our culture from the stupidity and the bigotry and the ignorance that threatened it. And there was the Buddhist way, and the Celtic way.

 * I found myself at the top of the the ladder, with everything, but with one thing missing: that one thing was a companion. Because, it's cliché to say, but nothing really means anything in the end unless you're really doing what you want to do, and... I walked off a huge world tour, with a yacht and television specials, and record deals, and film deals. I walked away and my whole thing collapsed. I shocked my business world and walked back to my cottage, which I had been renting to two American girls. One of them was Cynthia, and I stayed with her for two days, then her friend Lori came back from Clapton's house, where there had been a party going on for almost a week. Lori came in with another friend, and it was Linda, my Sunshine Supergirl from 1965 whom I'd written all my songs for. We hadn't married then, because she had a child with Brian Jones and wasn't ready for another relationship. And it was good that we didn't marry back then, because my four years of '60's fame would have wrecked the marriage. But we met again, and I went away from fame and into the arms of my muse, my lover, and then my wife, and then the mother of my children.

 * I still carry with me the same themes as always — I'm still compelled to present mystic ideas...

 * Up to '67, the drugs were, uh, soft. Marijuana, and even LSD, I considered soft drugs then. But, then, after '67, needle drugs and the strong amphetamines came in, and that's when the Beatles and Donovan stood up and said, 'Try meditation instead.' And I still stick by that, of course. You've got to be very, very careful. I'm talking about naive days, before the drug barons and the dealers took over. It was once a small, bohemian event. But it was when millions started wanting to get high that it got bad. And when Haight-Asbury turned into Skid Row, the Beatles and me stood up and said, 'Give it a rest.' The answer is that each individual must face the problem by himself. And meditation is an alternative. Meditation is a lot better for you, and it's great to be straight.

Donovan: "We are all one shining Being" (1998)

 * "Donovan: We are all one shining Being" in New Renaissance, Vol. 7, No. 4, (1998)

 * When I was 14 or 15 I wanted to be a protest singer like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. My father was a socialist and worked with the unions. I thought change was to change the government and to change from one system, capitalism, to socialism and to make the poor of the world happy. But when I opened the book The Way of Zen by Alan Watts and I opened up the Diamond Sutra, and Lao Tsu’s Tao Te Ching, I realized that the problem of suffering was much deeper than governments and social problems. The problems were very deep. They were nothing short of changing the way we look at reality. Therefore I became a teacher, or a reflection of the teachings. Phil Ochs, the great protest singer, said I had given up protest, and Joan Baez said to Bob Dylan, “He’s given up protest.” But what I had given up was looking for the answer in social change. The change was to be a spiritual change. The suffering was coming from an erroneous view of reality...

 * We are one, we are all brothers and sisters, but the people of the world do not know this. So this was the teaching, but how do you teach it? As young people, John Lennon, George Harrison, myself, Carlos Santana and other spiritual seekers in pop music, we wanted to know the answer but we found a question: How do you convince the rest of the western world that they are ill, they are mentally ill, that they have a sickness and that they have lost the way? How do you teach that? You cannot teach that in the normal sense. You have to encourage a spiritual call, so we devoted ourselves to making songs which would have a spiritual call inside of them, hoping to awaken an awareness with this music. And other people in the arts felt the same...

 * Today I can’t comment on what the problem is in China, Russia, or Africa without realizing again and again the Diamond Sutra, which says that we look at the world and see it as separate but in fact, this is an illusion, but the reality is that we are one shining being. Until this can be understood, I can’t see any change. But I see some change now. There is a world consciousness. In the "old" New Age, they talked about the Age of Aquarius being an age of enlightenment. And now when a man goes to the moon he sees the earth. Before when someone did meditation he or she could meditate on the earth and the moon but now a man and a woman can see that we are on one planet and that the water is polluted and that the air is dirty. So these are changes that are important. But when we spoke about these things in the 60s people said we were dreamers.

Mark Helprin

Mark Helprin (born June 28, 1947) is an American novelist, journalist, conservative commentator, Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy, Fellow of the American Academy in Rome, and Member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Quotes

 * Never in his life had Alessandro had to squint in starlight, but now the stars were so bright that at times he had to cover his eyes, and when they burned too brilliantly for keeping still, they sometimes shot across the sky in short bursts. Though these quiet illuminations vanished almost as soon as they had started, they lingered in the eye’s inexact memory of their luminescent paths. Perhaps had they been stronger and more constant, and hung in a dull white line, Alessandro’s heart would not have risen each time he saw them. They were less than little puffs of smoke, their tracks thinner than a hair, the bursts of light mainly a matter of memory.
 * A Soldier of The Great War (1991)

Quotes about Mark Helprin

 * I remember hearing Mark Helprin being interviewed on the radio about Winter's Tale. When the interviewer referred to it as fantasy, Helprin became upset and said that he didn't think of his work in those terms, in spite of the flying horse and all the other fantastic elements. The implication was that if a work is fantasy or SF, it can't be any good.
 * 1988 interview in Conversations with Octavia Butler

The number of Google hits for Andrew Gleason is very low once you've screened out all the references to the mathematician.

Brian O'Nolan

Brian O'Nolan (5 October 1911 – 1 April 1966) was an Irish novelist, journalist and humorist, better known by his pseudonyms Flann O’Brien and Myles na gCopaleen (or Myles na Gopaleen).

"At Swim-Two-Birds" (1939)

 * "I saw that my witticism was unperceived and quietly replaced it in the treasury of my mind."

 * Do you know what I am going to tell you, he said with his wry mouth, a pint of plain is your only man.
 * P. 22.

 * One beginning and one ending for a book was a thing I did not agree with. A good book may have three openings entirely dissimilar and inter-related only in the prescience of the author, or for that matter one hundred times as many endings.
 * P. 9.

"The Dalkey archive" (1964)

 * "Descartes spent far too much time in bed subject to the persistent hallucination that he was thinking. You are not free from a similar disorder."

The Third Policeman (1967)
The Third Policeman was written in 1939-40, but only published posthumously. Unless otherwise stated quotations here are cited from the 1983 edition ISBN 0246122749.

''I felt pleased again. He was now questioning me.'' "What?" "That No is a better word than Yes," he replied."
 * "After a time," said old Mathers disregarding me, "I mercifully perceived the errors of my ways and the unhappy destination I       would reach unless I mended them. I retired from the world in order to try to comprehend it and to find out why it becomes more   unsavoury as the years accumulate on a man's body. What do you think I discovered at the end of my meditations?"

 * "Hell goes round and round. In shape it is circular, and by nature it is interminable, repetitive, and nearly unbearable."

 * "I am completely half afraid to think."

 * "I felt so sad and so entirely disappointed that tears came into my eyes and a lump of incommunicable poignancy swelled tragically in my throat. I began to feel intensely every fragment of my equal humanity. The life that was bubbling at the end of my fingers was real and nearly painful in intensity and so was the beauty of my warm face and the loose humanity of my limbs and the racy health of my red rich blood. To leave it all without good reason and to smash the little empire into small fragments was a thing too pitiful even to refuse to think about."

 * "Is it life?" he answered, "I would rather be without it," he said, "for there is queer small utility in it. You cannot eat it or drink it or smoke it in your pipe, it does not keep the rain out and it is a poor armful in the dark if you strip it and take it to bed with you after a night of porter when you are shivering with the red passion. It is a great mistake and a thing better done without, like bed-jars and foreign bacon."

 * "My father...was a man who understood all dogs thoroughly and treated them like human beings."

 * "Strange enlightenments are vouchsafed to those who seek the higher places."

 * "The gross and net result of it is that people who spent most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycle as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who nearly are half people and half bicycles."
 * Page 85

Though you do the best you can, When life looks black as the hour of night, A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN."
 * "When things go wrong and will not come right,

"Policeman Fox is the third of us," said the Sergeant, "but we never see him or hear tell of him at because he is always on his beat and never off it and he signs the book in the middle of the night when even a badger is asleep. He is as mad as a hare, he never interrogates the public and he is always taking notes."
 * "Who is Fox?", I asked.

 * "You mean that because I have no name I cannot die and that you cannot be held answerable for death even if you kill me?"

 * "You told me what the first rule of wisdom is," I said. "What is the second rule?" "That can be answered," he said.  "There are five in all.  Always ask any questions that are to be asked and never answer any.  Turn everything you hear to your own advantage.  Always carry a repair outfit.  Take left turns as much as possible.  Never apply your front brake first...If you follow them," said the Sergeant, "you will save your soul and you will never get a fall on a slippy road."
 * Page 60

 * "Your talk," I said, "is surely the handiwork of wisdom because not one word of it do I understand."

The Best of Myles (1968)
The Best of Myles is a posthumously published collection of extracts from Myles na Gopaleen’s "Cruiskeen Lawn" column in The Irish Times. Unless otherwise stated quotations here are taken from the 1977 edition ISBN 0330248553.

 * It cannot be too often repeated that I am not for sale. I was bought in 1921 and the transaction was final and conclusive.
 * Page 282

 * If Irish were to die completely, the standard of English here, both in the spoken and written word, would sink to a level probably as low as that obtaining in England and it would stop there only because it could go no lower.
 * Page 283

 * "Moderation, we find, is an extremely difficult thing to get in this country."

 * Often in the theatre I can hardly hear myself talking or assuring my doxy that so-and-so is the same fellow that played so-and-so in so-and-so, he's very good, he's a civil servant in the Department of Agriculture, I met a sister of his in Skerries, and so on. Actors should conduct themselves like the rest of us and practise the unobtrusive intonation of the gentleman.
 * Page 37

 * Some savage faculty for observation told him that most respectable and estimable people usually had a lot of books in their houses.
 * Page 17

The Hair of the Dogma (1977)
Myles na Gopaleen's The Hair of the Dogma is a posthumously published collection of extracts from "Cruiskeen Lawn". Unless otherwise stated quotations here are taken from the 1989 edition ISBN 0586089470.

 * Waiting for the German verb is surely the ultimate thrill.
 * Page 143

 * The majority of the members of the Irish parliament are professional politicians, in the sense that otherwise they would not be given jobs minding mice at a crossroads.
 * Page 171

The Various Lives Of Keats And Chapman (2010)
Collected pieces from works published in the name of Myles na Gopaleen. Unless otherwise stated quotations here come from the 2010 edition ISBN 9780285638839.

 * Is it life? I would rather be without it, for there is quare small utility in it. You cannot eat it or drink it or smoke it in your pipe, it does not keep the rain out and it is a poor armful in the dark if you strip it and take it to bed with you after a night's porter when you are shivering with the red passion. It is a great mistake and a thing better done without, like bed jars and foreign bacon. Many a man has spent a hundred years trying to get the dimensions of it and when he understands it at last and entertains the certain pattern of it in his head, be the hokey he takes to his bed and dies. He dies like a poisoned sheepdog. There is nothing so dangerous you can't smoke it, nobody will give you tuppence halfpenny for the half of it, and it kills you in the wind-up. It is a quare contraption, very dangerous, a certain death-trap.

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

William Shatner

William "Bill" Shatner, OC (born March 22, 1931), is a Canadian actor, author, producer, director, and singer best known for his portrayal of James T. Kirk, Captain of the USS Enterprise, in the Star Trek franchise. He has written a series of books chronicling his experiences playing Captain Kirk and being a part of Star Trek, and has co-written several novels set in the Star Trek universe. He has also written a series of science fiction novels called TekWar which was adapted for television.

Quotes

 * Jason [Alexander] says he was inspired by me. Why is everyone who's inspired by me such a fat, fucking loser? You know, I look back on this amazing evening and I can't help but think to myself, "Who the hell are you people?" What right do you have to make fun of me; what have you ever done?"
 * Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner (2006)

 * You know who I am?! I'm William Tiberius Shatner!
 * Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner (2006)

 * I'm not a Starfleet commander, or T. J. Hooker. I don't live on Starship NCC-170... [some audience members say "1"], or own a phaser. I don't know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock [picture of Dr. Benjamin Spock is shown on screen behind him]. And no, I've never had green alien sex, but I'm sure it'd be quite an evening. [Pomp and Circumstance begins playing.] I speak English and French, not Klingon! I drink Labatt's, not Romulan Ale! And when someone says to me 'live long and prosper', I seriously mean it when I say, 'get a life'. My doctor's name is not McCoy, it's Ginsberg [nude picture of Dr. Ginsberg shown on screen].

 * Science fiction these days is only half a step ahead of science. Astrophysicists and scientists are working in the same way as science fiction writers. They’re working things out in their imagination based on the slim scientific facts that they know. Hawking imagines a black hole and then discovers the mathematics that support his theory, and new possibilities come to light. That’s the imaginative flair that scientists have to have. For me as a sci-fi writer, spinning those ideas in your mind brings you to the point where you dream in science fiction. Suddenly you think of something in the middle of the night, and it’s so vivid you don’t need to write it down because you know you’ll remember it in the morning. That’s what these books, Zero G, reflect: a vivid imagination.

I hope I never recover from this. I hope that I can maintain what I feel now — I don’t want to lose it. It’s so … so much larger than me and life and it hasn’t got anything to do with the little green planet and the blue orb — it has to do with the enormity — at the quickness and the suddenness of life and death and then oh my God!
 * What you have given me, is the most profound experience I could imagine. I’m so filled with emotion, about what’s just happened — it’s extraordinary. It’s extraordinary.
 * Speaking to Jeff Bezos, after his return to Earth, after becoming the oldest human to have as yet travelled into space, aboard a New Shepard spacecraft for the Blue Origin NS-18 space mission; quoted in "William Shatner Describes His Experience in Space" by MaryLiz Bender, in Cosmic Perspective (13 October 2021)

Quotes about Shatner

 * He so often gets a bad rap for overacting, but I just don’t see that. When I lived in Brooklyn before moving to California in 1951, I used to go out of my way to watch Bill perform on TV in New York in the early part of his career. And he was fascinating to watch...very theatrical. Great actors, in my estimation, are actors as opposed to reactors. Too many of today’s “stars” are reactors. They can’t really act themselves so they let other character actors around them do the acting and then they react to that performance.
 * Richard Matheson, as quoted in "He Is Legend" by Robert Falconer in Cinema Spy (11 December 2007)
 * It’s difficult working with someone who is not a team player. The rest of the cast all understand what makes a scene work—it’s everybody contributing to it. But Bill is a wonderful actor, and he knows it, and he likes to have the camera on him all the time.
 * George Takei, cited in Michael Rothman "George Takei Opens Feud William Shatner", ABC News, (16 June 2015)

Talk:Jean de La Bruyère

the quote "the world is a tragedy to those who feel, a comedy to those who think," has also been credited to Horace Walpole. In fact, it too was featured as a quote of the day on a certain october 24. It has recently been featured on may 9th and credited to Jean de La Bruyere. I find this interesting. Could anyone clarify which man claimed this quote initially?

 * As for date, unless it is misattributed to La Bruyère, La Bruyère was the precedent. But a question if really Walpole said it (either quoting or not) or just it is misattributed is interesting.

Herman Wouk

Herman Wouk (May 27, 1915 – May 17, 2019) was an American novelist who wrote The Caine Mutiny (for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1952), The Winds of War and War and Remembrance.

Quotes

 * I felt there’s a wealth in Jewish tradition, a great inheritance. I’d be a jerk not to take advantage of it.
 * On his return to Orthodox Judaism.
 * Time (September 5, 1955).

 * The imaginative artist willy-nilly influences his time. If he understands his responsibility and acts on it—taking the art seriously always, himself never quite—he can make a contribution equal to, if different from, that of the scientist, the politician, and the jurist. The anarchic artist so much in vogue now—asserting with vehemence and violence that he writes only for himself, grubbing in the worst seams of life—can do damage. But he can also be so useful in breaking up obsolete molds, exposing shams, and crying out the truth, that the broadest freedom of art seems to me necessary to a country worth living in.
 * “An Exclusive Interview with Herman Wouk,” Kirk Polking, Writer’s Digest (September 1966).

 * I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge.
 * Book-of-the-Month Club News (May 1985).

 * You can know almost anything about G-d, provided you put the right questions to Him. You have to learn how to put the questions, and they have to be accurate and airtight. [...] [M]y father, for instance, doesn't know that two atoms of hydrogen bind with one atom of oxygen to form a water molecule. Yet it's G-d's truth, and an important one. You don't know it [...] you believe it because you read it somewhere, or a teacher told you. I know it. I've put the question, and He answered, straight out. G-d will answer a high school boy. He asks only that you use common sense, pay very close attention to Him, not be sloppy, and count and measure correctly. G-d ignores sloppy questions. Sloppiness is the opposite of G-dliness. G-d is exact. He is marvelously, purely exact. Theology is all slop. Moses gave the best answers you could get, three thousand years ago, and he was no theologian.
 * Inside, Outside, p. 567 of the hardcover edition. The quote is fictional physicist Mark Herz answering the protagonist's question "What can you know about G-d? You either believe or you don't."

 * We are in the black theater of nonexistence. In an eye blink the curtain is up, the stage ablaze, for the vast drama of ourselves.
 * On Genesis I as his favorite opening passage.
 * The New York Times (June 2, 1985).

 * This is an excellent martini—sort of tastes like it isn’t there at all, just a cold cloud.
 * The Winds of War teleplay, for the ABC miniseries based on the novel (September 10, 1986)).

This is My God: The Jewish Way of Life (1959)

 * There is a mystery about the Jews … and within this mystery lies the reason for the folk pride of the house of Abraham. This pride exists despite the disabilities that come from many centuries of ostracism.

 * Deep in the heart of both critical Christian and alienated Jew, there is … a feeling, not even a feeling, a shadow of a notion, nothing more substantial than the pointless but compelling impulse to knock on wood when one talks of the health of children—something that says there is more to Jews than meets the eye.

The Suffering: Ties that Bind

The Suffering: Ties that Bind is a video game developed by Surreal Software and published by Midway Games, released in 2005 for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 game consoles as well as the PC. It is the sequel to The Suffering, and storywise picks up immediately after the ending of that game.

Torque

 * Who's next?! (in the trailer)
 * There's only one thing to get what you want in this world, and that's a beating. It's about watching your mouth, not talking back, Cory! (Flashback in Evil Mode)
 * Well, shit. Looks like trouble. (opening scene)
 * You got my family killed, you bastard!

Blackmore

 * You've come so far, yet so far to go. Meet me down by the drowning pool. It's where all losers meet their end.

 * Your boy (Cory, Torque's son) knew how to play the game, and he show you how it's done. Now, c'mon. Let's see how well you do. I've got some friends that can get this thing started right. (Neutral Mode)

 * There's hate in there, I know there is.

 * Now you’re playing on my team. You may be tough, but I’m smart and smart always wins

 * Bluster is the tool for the sucka player

Miles

 * We got to stick together on this man

 * We gotta talk, Reckoning day is here my man, I know what I believe.

 * C'mon out here and holla at yo boy Miles.

 * Man that's raw Torque! You opened up that guy's brain matter all over my new floor!

Jordan

 * I have been studying these malefactors all my life.

 * I know things started badly for us, but I got ya this far, and I can take you the distance, all the way to Blackmore. Together, well, I say we're unstoppable. Let's do this!

 * Because you're the only part of him I ever liked.

The Creeper

 * Shut up you little whore!

 * I will gut you! And you will beg for it!

 * What do you have there, Torque? She's gonna find out herself? You know that’s how these bitches work. They stalk up and try to suck out your life. Be careful she doesn’t stab you. What’s that little square headed cunt up to anyway?

 * And what are you wearing, big ho? You ready to take it off so I can see? You look good letting it out. You want to know what I’m wearing? Well I’ve just got this coat and if you saw inside… hah hah hah! You’d see my collection of whores! Men may be idiots, but girls are still the true parasite!

Others
Lifetime Companion

The power of the human heart astonishes. The worst of the worst still manage to procreate. Even the deeply disturbed can find someone to love them.

Mara Jade
All quotes seem to be taken from Starwars Wikia. Though they are licence-compatible with us (both under GFDL), no history is preserved or a link to the original website is given, so if it is the case, GFDL is violated. And there [src] is a link to a particular title so works as "source" indicator, here it doesn't. And moreover I am not sure a unsourced quote from copyrighted material can claim "fair use". So I would invite the community to examine this case. If this article shouldn't survive, I would say the decision may be applied to other two articles submitted from the same IP address, Ganner Rhysode (cleaned up by me, see the first revision) and Kyp Durron.--Aphaia 16:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

These articles demonstrate why we don't favor fictional-character articles: they encourage editors to ignore sourcing requirements, leaving Wikiquotians no reasonable way to verify anything. Wikia, like all wikis, is not a reliable source. In fact, it's worse than no source because it misleads less experienced editors into thinking such citations are useful. Any properly sourced quotes from these characters should go into articles on the works they come from. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Even if this person were properly identified, something is very fishy about the websites involved. The Strategy citation gives a website name — "www.unshrink.org" — not an actual URL, as the "source". (Reliable sources must be specific; i.e., they must provide the quote itself, not just an entire website to search to find it.) But that site redirects to "http://www.management-issues.com/max-mckeown.asp". Checking both for Alexa rankings, "unshrink" is at an amazingly obscure 7.7 million, but comes up as a part of Pricewaterhousecooper.com, the domain of the world-renown professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. (That doesn't automatically make any of its 140,000 employees who can craft a website notable.) "management-issues.com" has its ownership hidden by private registration. It feels uncomfortably like a business consultant's self-promotion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

But public school staff of any kind rarely meet notability thresholds, anyway.) I'm also concerned about sourcing the quotes. "A large collection of his hundred-word prose poems, called The Presentations" may be "on the internet", but so were my writings (on my Wikiquote user page) before I got tired of looking at them. Even the cited University of Pennsylvania web publication CrossConnect should be eyed with suspicion, as its mission is "to create a new outlet for writers" and "to promote the works of artists by providing a viable outlet to reach their audience" — an admirable project for college students, but not something that can be the sole evidence of a notable person's work. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

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 Dark Dragon Flame. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dark Dragon Flame~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Talk:12 oz. Mouse

I think there's a misquote in Roostre's song from Episode 6. The entry reads:

But my demise Ain't all my fault But a redivorce That it has brought But a redivorce That it has brought

But I heard the song as:

But my demise Ain't all my fault But I reap the 'wards That it has brought But I reap the 'wards That it has brought

The line "but I reap the 'wards" is somewhat garbled, 'wards being short for rewards.

Episode 16 "Corndog chronicles" is not fully cited. Lines start only from the moment of Fitz waking up, while he had a relatively long conversation with Shark at the very beginning.

Unless the website owner (David Mackey, dmackey@dhq.nu) is identical with the user who submitted those articles, I think we should not accept those contributions. The website itself gives us no information about their relation, and there is no info about license.

Keep., looks good. Id447 19:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the website gives us explicit permissions to reuse; I think however we could politely ask him a permission to reuse by email with suggestion he also may reuse our repository under GFDL, if the community think it a good idea. --Aphaia 20:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. We should have an article on this topic, even if those four quotes are excised - but really what we need is a bunch more quotes on the topic, and proper sourcing for those four. For a collection of quotes, which are not owned by anyone, copyright ceases to be an issue of our arrangement is different and we offer additional material both with respect to the cited quotes and in the form of additional quotes. I'll go hunt some up. Cheers! BD2412 T 18:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've added a few other quotes, sourced and expanded one of the originals, and moved the rest into an unsourced section for now. Will do more in short order. Cheers! BD2412 T 18:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, now that other quotes have been added. ~ UDScott 19:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Bigotry (that's an uncomfortable statement), now that BD2412 has substantially improved it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please note that the rest of these articles (and many more) are the work of occasional contributor User:DW, whom I suspect obtained these quotes from Louis Klopsch's Many Thoughts of Many Minds: A Treasury of Quotations from the Literature of Every Land and Every Land (1896), as digitized into PDF format by Google Book Search. (Please read my 31 March posts to User talk:DW for more information.) This is what initiated my village pump discussions on "Copying digitized public domain documents from Google Book Search". It's possible that DW got them from "The Wandering Mind's Quotations Collection" (the parent site of Aphaia's link in the nomination) instead, or that WMQC's creator also obtained them from Google Book Search. In any case, they appear to be the unattributed work of Klopsch. If Wikipedia insists we cite the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica when we use its material, even though it's out of copyright, it seems Wikiquote should expect editors to cite PD sources as well, even if we don't need to worry about permission to use the material. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not a bad idea, but not as much of an imperative as it is with Wikipedia, which is after all incorporating public domain works of original authorship. Here, the copied material is a collection of quotes, in which the original "author" (i.e. the person who collected the quotes) had no copyright in the first place, and which we can quickly supplement (and in many instances correct) to the point where the original author's work is unrecognizable!
