E. F. Schumacher

Ernst Friedrich "Fritz" Schumacher (16 August 1911 – 4 September 1977) was an internationally influential economic thinker with a professional background as a statistician and economist in Britain. He served as Chief Economic Advisor to the UK National Coal Board for two decades.

Quotes

 * Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
 * "Small is Beautiful", an essay, in The Radical Humanist, Vol. 37, No. 5 (August 1973), p. 22

Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics As If People Mattered (1973)

 * Perhaps we cannot raise the winds. But each of us can put up the sail, so that when the wind comes we can catch it.

 * Education can help us only if it produces “whole men”. The truly educated man is not a man who knows a bit of everything, not even the man who knows all the details of all subjects (if such a thing were possible): the “whole man” in fact, may have little detailed knowledge of facts and theories, he may treasure the Encyclopædia Britannica because “she knows and he needn’t”, but he will be truly in touch with the centre. He will not be in doubt about his basic convictions, about his view on the meaning and purpose of his life. He may not be able to explain these matters in words, but the conduct of his life will show a certain sureness of touch which stems from this inner clarity.

 * The cultivation and expansion of needs is the antithesis of wisdom. It is also the antithesis of freedom and peace. Every increase of needs tends to increase one’s dependence on outside forces over which one cannot have control, and therefore increases existential fear. Only by a reduction of needs can one promote a genuine reduction in those tensions which are the ultimate causes of strife and war.
 * p. 31.

 * Scientific and technological “solutions” which poison the environment or degrade the social structure and man himself are of no benefit, no matter how brilliantly conceived or how great their superficial attraction.
 * p. 31.

 * That soul-destroying, meaningless, mechanical, monotonous, moronic work is an insult to human nature which must necessarily and inevitably produce either escapism or aggression, and that no amount of “bread and circuses” can compensate for the damage done—these are facts which are neither denied nor acknowledged but are met with an unbreakable conspiracy of silence—because to deny them would be too obviously absurd and to acknowledge them would condemn the central preoccupation of modern society.
 * p. 35.

 * The disease having been caused by allowing cleverness to displace wisdom, no amount of clever research is likely to produce a cure.
 * p. 35.

 * It is doubly chimerical to build peace on economic foundations which, in turn, rest on the systematic cultivation of greed and envy, the very forces which drive men into conflict.
 * p. 36.

 * It might be thought that the I Ching and the oracles are metaphysical while the computer model is "real"; but the fact remains that a machine to foretell the future is based on metaphysical assumptions of a very definite kind. It is based on the implicit assumption that "the future is already here," that it exists already in a determinate form, that it requires merely good instruments and good techniques to get it into focus and make it visible. The reader will agree that this is a very far-reaching metaphysical assumption which seems to go against all direct personal experience.
 * p. 224.

Buddhist Economics

 * The modern economist … is used to measuring the “standard of living” by the amount of annual consumption, assuming all the time that a man who consumes more is “better off” than a man who consumes less. A Buddhist economist would consider this approach excessively irrational: since consumption is merely a means to human well-being, the aim should be to obtain the maximum of well-being with the minimum of consumption.

 * The ownership and the consumption of goods is a means to an end, and Buddhist economics is the systematic study of how to attain given ends with the minimum means. Modern economics, on the other hand, considers consumption to be the sole end and purpose of all economic activity, taking the factors of production—labour and capital—as the means. The former, in short, tries to maximise human satisfactions by the optimal pattern of consumption, while the latter tries to maximise consumption by the optimal pattern of productive effort.

A Guide for the Perplexed

 * From the point of view of the employer, it is in any case simply an item of cost, to be reduced to a minimum if it cannot be eliminated altogether, say, by automation. From the point of view of the workman, it is a 'disutility'; to work is to make a sacrifice of one's leisure and comfort, and wages are a kind of compensation for the sacrifice.

 * From a Buddhist point of view, this is standing the truth on its head by considering goods as more important than people and consumption as more important than creative activity. It means shifting the emphasis from the worker to the product of work, that is, from the human to the sub-human, surrender to the forces of evil.

 * The Buddhist view, “takes the function of work to be at least threefold”: “to give a man a chance to utilize and develop his faculties; to enable him to overcome his egocentredness by joining with other people in a common task; and to bring forth the goods and services needed for a becoming existence.”

 * To organize work in such a manner that it becomes meaningless, boring, stultifying, or nerve-racking for the worker would be little short of criminal; it would indicate a greater concern with goods than with people, an evil lack of compassion and a soul-destroying degree of attachment to the most primitive side of this worldly existence.

 * Anything that we can destroy, but are unable to make is, in a sense, sacred, and all our 'explanations' of it do not explain anything.

50 Cent

Curtis James Jackson III (born 6 July 1975), known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper from New York City.

Quotes

 * I want to explain my environment to those who don't come any closer to it than the records they buy or the images they see on television. People want the truth. Even if they can't handle it, they want it. I let you know that I survived nine bullets not to sell records, but because it's the truth. Every time I sit down for an interview, I'm asked, "Well, 50, how did it feel to get shot nine times?" But those stories don't hold the weight, the pain, or the hope of my experience. It just can't. This is my mindset and these are the things that go on. This is why I say the rhymes that I say. This is what happened when I was trying to get rich before I died in Southside Queens.
 * Interview on From Pieces to Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens

 * The mis-perception is gangster 50. That's the biggest misconception. Because, I can be those things that people – I have a reputation. My past is my shadow, it follows me everywhere I go. Well, all those things come from when I had no other choice. They put my back against the wall. I do what I gotta do. Because hip-hop has no requirements, you deal with people that have the least intelligence on the planet. Some of the people that compare themselves to me, compare themselves to me because they rap and I rap. They can't even read the contracts that they sign to be a rapper, to do the deal.
 * Interview: 50 Cent. IGN. 6 September 2005

 * I came from the bottom of the bottom. It's hard for a lot of people to comprehend my story – a lot of people just don't get me because they haven't experienced it. I came from the bottom and I have risen up and I have changed but I have never forgotten.
 * From his interview with Louis Gannon for Live magazine, The Mail on Sunday (UK) newspaper, 25 October 2009

 * I can't believe my grandmother's making me take out the garbage. I'm rich. Fuck this, I'm going home. I don't need this shit.
 * 50cent at Twitter. Twitter. 26 August 2010

 * I had his poster on my wall. He had me moonwalking around my bedroom. I'd love to have written any Michael Jackson song, so maybe start with one of the greatest.
 * As quoted in "Soundtrack of my life" (1 October 2015), by Gavin Haynes, NME, p. 48

No Mercy, No Fear (2002)

 * "P.I.M.P"

 * Get rich or die tryin'.
 * Opening lines, emphasis in original.

 * People want the truth. Even if they can't handle it, they want it. They may want to look at it as a story or music so they can distance themselves from it, but they want it. That's why people watch the news every night. There's nothing good on the news. They'll throw in a little "good news" near the end, like something about a cat being saved from a tree. But before you hear about that cat, you're going to learn that someone got shot and killed, an earthquake killed a couple of hundred people, and that whatever war is going on at the time is still going on and going hard. And you still watch. Why? Because you want the truth. You'll complain, but you'll watch. Every night. The news always gets good ratings.

Cleanup
This article needs a good cleanup. There are duplicated quotes, tons of grammar mistakes, and too much non-catchphrase rubbish in the Catchphrase section. Ray McCooney is refferred to as "Scottish Guy", the unnamed American man is known as "Mike", and Viv is credited as "Viv Seaton". Where the Hull does the "seaton" come from? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.1.248.48 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay, began to tidy up a little bit. Going through with the official book containing the scripts for series one it is clear that most of the quotes are inaccurate. Some of the quotes have now been sorted by episode but there's a lot more work to do. Those that have been sorted have also been corrected based on the official scripts. Jonohill 11:30, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for starting on this work, Jonohill. Might I ask you to do two things recommended in Templates/TV shows while you're making your changes?
 * Please use numbers rather than names when citing season numbers in headings, as it's easier to inspect for correct order.
 * Please use the episode names for each episode. The current practice is to include the episode number in a "[s.nn]" season format. For instance, "Episode One" should be "Domino Toppling [1.01]". (We're still thrashing out whether the title itself should be bare, italicized, or quoted, so as the editor on the spot, you have some leeway. The short argument is: italicized is in the current template; quotes are the cross-project means to format episode titles; and bare text is more appropriate for headings. Take your pick.)
 * Thanks for helping out here! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Limit on Quotations : Copyright.
Should be 5 per episode. Due to the vast number of unsourced quotes, this is a bit 'iffy'. There have been 4 seasons, with 36 episodes in total, meaning there should be AT MOST 5x36 =180 quotes. It seems like there are much more than that, so I'm going to trim the article. Soph (talk) 23:13, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Catchphrases
Aren't part of the official template, so should they be kept? I'm going to hide them with a comment for now. Soph (talk) 23:12, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Series 2-4
For some reason, there are no quotes for 2,3 and 4. Maybe because people just got bored and shoved them in the unknown episode bit. If you know what episode they're from, please help to categorise.
 * Series 1: 8 episodes
 * Series 2: 6
 * Series 3: 6 episodes
 * Series 4 (Little Britain USA): 6 episodes

 * [an inspector walks up to him with a note]
 * Inspector: Excuse me, Mr. Duncan?
 * Duncan: Yes?
 * Inspector: [hands it to him] I found this note. Looks like a kid broke your window.
 * [Duncan reads the note]
 * Kevin's voice: Dear Mr. Duncan, I broke your window to catch the bad guys. I'm sorry. Do you have insurance? If you don't, I'll send you some money, if I ever get back to Chicago. Merry Christmas, Kevin McCallister. P.S.: Thanks for the turtledoves.

 * Kate: Thank you.
 * Cop: Look, put yourself in your kid's shoes. Where would you go? What would you do?
 * Kate: Me? I'd probably be lying dead in a gutter somewhere. Oh, but not Kevin. No. Kevin is so much stronger and braver than I am. And I know Kevin's fine. I'm sure he is. But he's still all by himself in a big city, and he doesn't deserve that. He deserves to be at home, with his own family, around his Christmas tree. [pauses] Oh, dear God. I know where he is! I need to get to Rockefeller Center!
 * Cop: Hop in.

 * Officer #1: You guys should have started earlier! The prisoners have already exchanged gifts.

 * Harry: [kicks Marv] SHUT UP, Marv.
 * Marv: [bird flies by] AAAH!!
 * Harry: Got the right to remain silent, ya know.
 * Marv: He's a little cranky. We just broke out of prison a few days ago!
 * Harry: [kicks Marv again] SHUT UP, MARV!!! Geez!

 * [last lines; Cedric brings Kevin's room service bill to the McCallisters' room]
 * Cedric: Mr. McCallister's room service bill, sir. [hands it to Buzz] Merry Christmas, sir. [holds out his hand for a tip]
 * Buzz: Oh! Uh, um... [hands over the gum he has been chewing]
 * Cedric: [dryly, to himself] Nice family, really.
 * Buzz: [to himself, reading bill] Merry Christmas, indeed. [raising voice] Oh, Daa-aad...
 * [Outside, Kevin is talking with the pigeon lady in Central Park]
 * Peter: [off-screen; from the hotel] KEVIN!!! YOU SPENT $967 ON ROOM SERVICE?!?!?!
 * [Kevin, startled, gasps and runs off, then the credits roll]

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 Harperjs. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Harperjs~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.

William Harvey

William Harvey (April 1 1578 – June 3 1657) was an English physician. He was the first to describe completely and in detail the systemic circulation and properties of blood being pumped to the brain and body by the heart.

De Motu Cordis et Sanguinis (1628)

 * Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus [An Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Living Beings] (1628)

 * The heart of animals is the foundation of their life, the sovereign of everything within them, the sun of their microcosm, that upon which all growth depends, from which all power proceeds.
 * '"Dedication to King Charles".

 * Very many maintain that all we know is still infinitely less than all that still remains unknown; nor do philosophers pin their faith to others' precepts in such wise that they lose their liberty, and cease to give credence to the conclusions of their proper senses. Neither do they swear such fealty to their mistress Antiquity that they openly, and in sight of all, deny and desert their friend Truth. But even as they see that the credulous and vain are disposed at the first blush to accept and believe everything that is proposed to them, so do they observe that the dull and unintellectual are indisposed to see what lies before their eyes, and even deny the light of the noon-day sun.
 * "Dedication to Dr. Argent and Other Learned Physicians"; a portion of this statement is often quoted alone as simply "All we know is still infinitely less than all that still remains unknown.

 * The studious and good and true, never suffer their minds to be warped by the passions of hatred and envy, which unfit men duly to weigh the arguments that are advanced in behalf of truth, or to appreciate the proposition that is even fairly demonstrated. Neither do they think it unworthy of them to change their opinion if truth and undoubted demonstration require them to do so. They do not esteem it discreditable to desert error, though sanctioned by the highest antiquity, for they know full well that to err, to be deceived, is human; that many things are discovered by accident and that many may be learned indifferently from any quarter, by an old man from a youth, by a person of understanding from one of inferior capacity.
 * "Dedication to Dr. Argent and Other Learned Physicians".

 * I profess both to learn and to teach anatomy, not from books but from dissections; not from positions of philosophers but from the fabric of nature.
 * "Dedication to Dr. Argent and Other Learned Physicians".

 * I avow myself the partisan of truth alone.
 * "Dedication to Dr. Argent and Other Learned Physicians"

De Generatione Animalium (1651)

 * De Generatione Animalium [On the Generation of Animals] (1651)

 * As art is a habit with reference to things to be done, so is science a habit in respect to things to be known.
 * Introduction.

 * I appeal to your own eyes as my witness and judge.
 * Introduction.

 * Man comes into the world naked and unarmed, as if nature had destined him for a social creature, and ordained him to live under equitable laws and in peace; as if she had desired that he should be guided by reason rather than be driven by force; therefore did she endow him with understanding, and furnish him with hands, that he might himself contrive what was necessary to his clothing and protection. To those animals to which nature has given vast strength, she has also presented weapons in harmony with their powers; to those that are not thus vigorous, she has given ingenuity, cunning, and singular dexterity in avoiding injury.

Quotes about Harvey

 * Few would have predicted that the discovery of the circulation of the blood would have changed the way philosophers view the world, theologians conceive of God, or astronomers look at the stars, yet all of that happened.
 * Richard Bergland, The Fabric of Mind (1985)

 * Harvey sought for truth in Truth's own book — Creation — which by God himself was writ; And wisely thought 'twas fit Not to read comments only upon it, But on th' original itself to look. Methinks in Art's great circle others stand Lock'd up together hand in hand: Every one leads as he is led, The same bare path they tread, A dance like that of Fairies, a fantastic round, With neither change of motion nor of ground. Had Harvey to this road confined his wit, His noble circle of the blood had been untrodden yet.
 * Abraham Cowley, in "Ode Upon Dr. Harvey" (1657).

 * Harvey was not content merely to gather knowledge; he digested and arranged it under the guidance of the faculties which compare and reason. … Harvey appears to have possessed, in a remarkable degree, the power of persuading and conciliating those with whom he came in contact. In the whole course of his long life we hear nothing either of personal enemies or personal enmities … one of the great men whom God, in virtue of his eternal laws, bids to appear on earth from time to time to enlighten, and to ennoble mankind.
 * Robert Willis in "The Life of Harvey" in The Works of William Harvey, M.D. (1847).

Vedic science

Vedic science may refer to a number of disciplines: ancient and modern, scientific, metaphysical, proto-scientific, found in or based in the Vedas.

Quotes

 * Ages before Lamarck and Darwin it was held in India that man has passed through 84 lakhs (8,400,000) of birth as plants, animals, as an "inferior species of man" and then as the ancestor of the developed type existing to-day. The theory was not, like modern doctrine of evolution, based wholly on observation and a scientific enquiry into fact but was a rather (as some other matters) an act of brilliant intuition in which observation may also have had some part.
 * To the philosophers of India, however, Relativity is no new discovery, just as the concept of light years is no matter for astonishment to people used to thinking of time in millions of kalpas, (A kalpa is about 4,320,000 years). The fact that the wise men of India have not been concerned with technological applications of this knowledge arises from the circumstance that technology is but one of innumerable ways of applying it.
 * Sir John Woodroffe, A Tribute to Hinduism, page 246

 * Falls back upon the earliest and greatest of Revelations, those of the Sacred Books of India with a Cosmogony which no European conception has ever surpassed.
 * Maurice Maeterlinck, India: Culture and Society, page xxxiv

 * The invisible excludes nothing, the invisible that excludes nothing is the infinite – the soul of India is the infinite. Philosophers tell us that the Indians were the first ones to conceive of a true infinite from which nothing is excluded. The West shied away from this notion. The West likes form, boundaries that distinguish and demarcate. The trouble is that boundaries also imprison – they restrict and confine. India saw this clearly and turned her face to that which has no boundary or whatever. India anchored her soul in the infinite seeing the things of the world as masks of the infinite assumes – there can be no end to these masks, of course. If they express a true infinity. And It is here that India’s mind boggling variety links up to her infinite soul.
 * India includes so much because her soul being infinite excludes nothing. It goes without saying that the universe that India saw emerging from the infinite was stupendous.
 * While the West was still thinking, perhaps, of 6,000 years old universe – India was already envisioning ages and eons and galaxies as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. The Universe so vast that modern astronomy slips into its folds without a ripple.
 * Huston Smith, A Tribute to Hinduism, page 58

 * The Indians came closest to modern ideas of atomism, quantum physics, and other current theories.
 * The Rig-Veda, is the first Indian literature to set down ideas resembling universal natural laws. Cosmic law is connected with cosmic light, with gods, and, later, specifically with Brahman. It was the Vedic Aryans... who gave the world some of the earliest philosophical texts on the makeup of matter and the theoretical underpinnings for the chemical makeup of minerals. Sanskrit Vedas from thousands of years before Christ implied that matter could not be created, and that the universe had created itself.
 * Two thousand years before Pythagoras, philosophers in northern India had understood that gravitation held the solar system together, and that therefore the sun, the most massive object, had to be at its center." "Twenty-four centuries before Isaac Newton, the Hindu Rig-Veda asserted that gravitation held the universe together. The Sanskrit speaking Aryans subscribed to the idea of a spherical earth in an era when the Greeks believed in a flat one. The Indians of the fifth century A.D. calculated the age of the earth as 4.3 billion years; scientists in 19th century England were convinced it was 100 million years.
 * Dick Teresi, Lost Discoveries: The Ancient Roots of Modern Science

 * Nevertheless the ancient reputation of the Indians does not permit us to doubt that they have always cultivated astronomy, and the remarkable exactness of the mean motions which they assign to the Sun and the Moon necessarily required very ancient observation.
 * Pierre-Simon Laplace, The Celestial Key to the Vedas, page 61.

 * Hindu are more exact in astronomy and astrology than any other people.
 * Tarikh al-Yaqubi, The Foundations of the Composite Culture in India, page 59

 * It is the clearest image of the activity of God which any art or religion can boast of. Modern physics has shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction is not only manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the birth and death of all living creatures, but also the very essence of inorganic matter.
 * For modern physicists, then, Shiva's dance is the dance of subatomic matter. Hundreds of years ago, Indian artist created visual images of dancing Shiva's in a beautiful series of bronzes. Today, physicist have used the most advanced technology to portray the pattern of the cosmic dance. Thus, the metaphor of the cosmic dance unifies, ancient religious art and modern physics. The Hindus, according to Monier-Williams, were Spinozists more than 2,000 years before the advent of Spinoza, and Darwinians many centuries before Darwin and Evolutionists many centuries before the doctrine of Evolution was accepted by scientists of the present age.
 * The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, no doubt by accident [this part of the quote is often left out], to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.  And there are much longer time scales still.
 * Carl Sagan, God Talks With Arjuna, page 734

 * Modern physics has thus revealed that every subatomic particle not only performs an energy dance, but also is an energy dance; a pulsating process of creation and destruction. The dance of Shiva is the dancing universe, the ceaseless flow of energy going through an infinite variety of patterns that melt into one another’’.For the modern physicists, then Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter. As in Hindu mythology, it is a continual dance of creation and destruction involving the whole cosmos; the basis of all existence and of all natural phenomenon. Hundreds of years ago, Indian artists created visual images of dancing Shivas in a beautiful series of bronzes. In our times, physicists have used the most advanced technology to portray the patterns of the cosmic dance.
 * Fritjof Capra, A Tribute to Hinduism, page 298

 * Long before it became a scientific aspiration to estimate the age of the earth, many elaborate systems of the world chronology had been devised by the sages of antiquity. The most remarkable of these occult time-scales is that of the ancient Hindus, whose astonishing concept of the Earth's duration has been traced back to Manusmriti, a sacred book.
 * Professor Arthur Holmes, Hinduism And Scientific Quest, page 20

 * Hindu cosmography, for example born in hoary antiquity, strikes one in certain ways as surprisingly modern. India has never limited its conception of time to a few crowded millennia. Thousands of years ago India's sages computed the earth's age at a little over two billion years, our present era being what is called the seventh Manuvantra. This is a staggering claim. Consider how much scientific evidence has been needed in the West before men could even imagine so enormous a time scale.
 * Swami Kriyananada (J. Donald Walters), Crises in Modern Thought, page 94

 * Interestingly, modern science has estimated that the age of the earth is about 4 billion years. Scholars feel it is uncanny that the Vedic Aryans could have conceived of such a vast span of time over 3,500 years ago that would be similar to the same figure estimated by science today.
 * Dr. Subhash Kak, The Eastern Answers to the Mysteries of Life, page 25''

 * The movement of stars which was calculated by Hindus 4,500 years ago, does not differ even by a minute from the tables which we are using today. The Hindu systems of astronomy are much more ancient than those of the Egyptians - even the Jews derived from the Hindus their knowledge.
 * Jean-Sylvain Baily, World as Seen Under the Lens of a Scientist, page 460

 * Religious faith in the case of the Hindus has never been allowed to run counter to scientific laws, moreover the former is never made a condition for the knowledge they teach, but there are always scrupulously careful to take into consideration the possibility that by reason both the agnostic and atheist may attain truth in their own way. Such tolerance may be surprising to religious believers in the West, but it is an integral part of Vedantic belief.
 * Romain Rolland, The life of Vivekananda and the universal gospel. 5th ed, page 229

 * India - the land of Vedas, the remarkable works contains not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all are known to the seers who founded the Vedas.
 * Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Human Resource Development and Ancient Sanskrit Literature, page 19 this is all not related to vedic science

Buffy edits
An editor using this IP address recently attempt to add some "quotes" to Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes "New Moon Rising" and "Seeing Red". I've removed the text because it had more to do with the visual scene than that actual quotes. Scene transcriptions are not what Wikiquote is about. In TV shows, we're looking for pithy dialog, not just the words that accompany important scenes.

Worse yet, the editing attempts broke two critical heading links and inserted strange text into the page. I would ask that the editor spend some time reading How to edit a page and related articles, and practice editing in the Sandbox, before resuming their edits on articles. You can post any questions you may have to me on my talk page. Thank you for your cooperation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Note the single quote, also by himself, that isn't included in Obeng de Lawrence (as of this posting). He seems to think that taking 2 quotes (possibly made up on the spot, certainly without citation) and splitting them between the 2 articles will provide both with some air of legitimacy. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Bacon

[[Image:[[Media:Are the quotes re: the domination of a (feminised) nature legitimate? I'm referring to these ones:[[Media:Example.ogg]'Bold text']

"My only earthly wish is... to stretch the deplorably narrow limits of man's dominion over the uiniverse to their promised bounds... [nature will be] bound into service, hounded in her wanderings and put on the rack and tortured for her secrets."

"I am come in very truth leading you to Nature with all her children to bind her to your service and make her your slave... the mechanical inventions of recent years do not merely exert a gentle guidance over Nature's courses, they have the power to conquer and subdue her, to shake her to her foundations."

Looking through e-texts on the internet, I can't find any corroboration of these attributions.

The closest match I can find to the first quote (which contains a typo, by the way) is: "The use of this work, honoured with a precedent in Aristotle, is nothing less than to give contentment to the appetite of curious and vain wits, as the manner of Mirabilaries is to do; but for two reasons, both of great weight: the one to correct the partiality of axioms and opinions, which are commonly framed only upon common and familiar examples; the other because from the wonders of Nature is the nearest intelligence and passage towards the wonders of art, for it is no more but by following and, as it were, hounding Nature in her wanderings, to be able to lead her afterwards to the same place again."

The second quote I can't find at all. -David D'Andrea
 * I too cannot find these particular quotes, after a thorough reading of the text. I have removed them from the article, leaving them here for further discussion. Should evidence of their validity be produced, they can be reinstated in the article. ~ UDScott 13:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Background to the second quote is given in 'In Defense of Bacon' by Alan Soble, Vol. 25, Philosophy of the Social Sciences, 06-01-1995, pp 192. --84.92.127.242 09:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The Great Instauration and New Atlantis
Look for these quotes in Bacon, Francis, "The Great Instauration and New Atlantis" (Arlington Heights, IL: Harlan Davidson, 1980), pp viii, 21, 31.

Alphabetic order?
Do others agree that the Essays (1625) should be arranged in alphabetic order? On Adversity, On Atheism, etc.? --Bradeos Graphon 16:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)]]]]

Quote removed from page.
The following quote was removed from the page by another editor. Please discuss whether it should be included on the page. Cheers! BD2412 T 20:32, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * His achievement was not the less great because it was indirect. His philosophical works, though little read now, “moved the intellects which moved the world.” He made himself the eloquent voice of the optimism and resolution of the Renaissance. Never was any man so great a stimulus to other thinkers… The whole tenor and career of British thought have followed the philosophy of Bacon. His tendency to conceive the world in Democritean mechanical terms gave to his secretary, Hobbes, the starting-point for a thorough-going materialism; his inductive metbod gave to Locke the idea of an empirical psychology, bound by observation and freed from theology and metaphysics; and his emphasis on “commodities” and “fruits” found formulation in Bentham’s identification of the useful and the good. Wherever the spirit of control has overcome the spirit of resignation, Bacon’s influence has been felt. He is the voice of all those Europeans who have changed a continent from a forest into a treasure-land of art and science, and have made their little peninsula the center of the world… Everything is possible to man. Time is young; give us some little centuries, and we shall control and remake all things. We shall perhaps at last learn the noblest lesson of all, that man must not fight man, but must make war only on the obstacles that nature offers to the triumph of man.
 * Will Durant, The History of Philosophy

 * Glad to see that this excellent quote was reinserted shortly after this question was raised.Cheers! Om777om (talk) 18:33, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

 * I do plainly and ingenuously confess that I am guilty of corruption, and do renounce all defense. I beseech your Lordships to be merciful to a broken reed.

Winnipeg

Winnipeg is the capital and largest city of Manitoba, Canada. It is located near the longitudinal centre of North America, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.

The Winnipeg area was a trading centre for Aboriginal peoples prior to the arrival of Europeans. The first fort was built there in 1738 by French traders. A settlement was later founded by the Selkirk settlers in 1812, the nucleus of which was incorporated as the City of Winnipeg in 1873. Winnipeg is the seventh-largest municipality in Canada, and is the primary municipality of the Winnipeg Capital Region.

Quotes

 * I was amazed how people would wear T-shirts at the windy corner of Portage and Main where the wind comes whistling off the plains. Seeing people wear T-shirts made me feel like a big pansy, I was in a big parka, and you'd see girls in little dresses going down the street. I couldn't understand it.

 * Stephen Leacock Source: My Discovery of the West, 1937.

 * You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettos and who are not integrated into western Canadian society.
 * Stephen Harper, The Report newsmagazine, January 22, 2001.

 * [robotically] "We had no choice". [normally] Always "we had no choice". Those are our magic words. We repeat them to ourselves again and again. But you know... The magic never worked! The only thing we're left with is regret.
 * My body just started dancing by itself. I didn't know what was going on. I was... frightened. And then, while I was dancing, something happened......
 * It all began when I saw this sphere of you. At least, it looked like you. I couldn't say for sure.
 * So this is my life now. We travel from place to place, and the days just seem to fly by. But sometimes, I find myself stopping. I'm listening for your whistle.
 * Here comes the real Yuna!

 * So much has happened! And I'm sure it's only the beginning. Through the smiles, tears...through the anger, and the laughter that follows. I know that I will keep changing. This is my story. It will be a good one. It all began when I saw this sphere of you.
 * Who the heck is Lenne?!
 * The Eternal Calm. I can feel it crumbling from beneath our feet.

Nooj

 * Greetings, friends! An important sphere is hidden in Kilika Temple. A sphere documenting the true history of Spira. We are here today to demand that New Yevon make the contents of that sphere public. Yet, as always, the voice seeking truth goes ignored. My friends, I ask you: why? Because New Yevon wants to hide the truth! Just as the temples did before them! I tell you now, this has gone on long enough! My friends, stand with me, and together we will bring the truth back to the people. (opening speech)

Others

 * Trema: Only one... who renounces everything... posesses the strength... to transcend anything.
 * Trema: Lady Yuna, you are the paragon of pastlessness!
 * Garik Ronso: Garik know Yuna save Spira, but Ronso not saved yet.
 * Garik Ronso: High Summoner Yuna, it is Garik's honor.

 * Tobli's assistant: The master is having a feshtibbible. Shinging and danshing and shelebebration?
 * Shuyin: Lenne... We disappeared together, but when I awoke... I was alone. I looked for you for... so long. While I searched I realised something. Spira hasn't really changed at all. Everyone's still fighting over nothing, and still dying like they used to. A thousand years have passed, and they can't leave the hatred behind. But I'm through waiting, I'll fix it. This world continues to fail us, and what's worse I failed to protect you. Vegnagun will make that ALL go away. [clenches fist, and moves towards Yuna] And we'll fade again... TOGETHER. Help me do it, Lenne...
 * Shuyin: You are NOT Lenne! [squares up, to fight.]
 * Shuyin: A thousand years... and this moment is all we get?!

Dialogue

 * [as they prepare to use the No Love Lost attack]
 * Leblanc: Let's get 'em, boys!
 * Ormi: Our practice is finally paying off!
 * Logos: Practice? What practice?

 * Brother: [over radio] What's your status?
 * Rikku: Disasterrific!
 * Brother: "Disasterrific" is not a word! Say "disastrous" like the rest of Spira!

[...]

[after falling down an elevator shaft not long after the previous quote]
 * Brother: [over radio, hysterically] What happened? Is Yuna okay?!
 * Yuna: Things are, ow...disasterrific.
 * Brother: Disasterrific?! I am on my way!
 * Rikku: [staring up in disbelief] What about me?!

 * Trema: You are the paragon...of pastlessness.
 * Yuna: You're wrong. Although I've wished to be stronger, and I've wanted to change…I realized that losing my past would be losing myself.
 * Trema: [laughing] Tell me, High Summoner Yuna, where is the loss in that?

 * Brother: Dancing Yuna? I want to see!
 * Yuna: It'll cost you!
 * Brother: One moment...
 * Paine: She's kidding.
 * Brother: [shocked] What? No dance?!

 * Gippal: [really close to Yuna's face] Never been this close to a celebrity before.
 * Yuna: That's nice.
 * Gippal: I could get used to this.
 * Yuna: Let's not.

 [Big ugly fiend called "Sanctuary Keeper" shows up.]
 * Rikku: Think we need a password?
 * Paine: How about "Kick...its...ass".

 * Paine: Minus-four respect points Rikku.
 * Rikku: How many are left?
 * Paine: 47.
 * Rikku: That's not a lot, is it?

 * Yuna: Oh, poopie.
 * Rikku: Yunie, don't say things like that.
 * Yuna: Hey, I was just copying you!

 * Brother: Yuna, what's all the noise?
 * Yuna: Just taking a little dip.
 * Brother: Y meddma teb! (A little dip!) Code, uh...pink! I'll be there right now!

[A punch is heard in the background, followed by moaning.]
 * Yuna: Brother?
 * Buddy: Don't worry, I knocked him out.

 * Brother: This is Brother! How's it going?
 * Rikku: Be quiet! This is a covert operation. Over and out.
 * Brother: Rikku! How dare you speak to your leader like that!
 * Rikku: Ooh! Shut up, already!

 [In Bikanel Desert, watching Yuna run off.]
 * Paine: I was wrong. She doesn't get dragged into trouble.
 * Rikku: She jumps in head first.

 * Rikku: Poor girl. She's led such a sheltered life.
 * Paine: Maybe she's getting old.
 * Yuna: [hearing that] Who's getting old?!

 * Ormi: [tries to imitate Nooj] Leblanc, there is nothing to worry about.
 * Logos: Not even close.
 * Ormi: Let's see you try it.
 * Logos: [clears throat, then puts on raspy voice] Leblanc, there is nothing to worry about.
 * Ormi: [laughs] Look who's talking.

 * Shuyin: I finally found you.
 * Yuna: [hesitant] Is that...really you?
 * Shuyin: It is me. Shuyin.
 * Yuna: [turns around, facing away from him] But I'm not Lenne...
 * Shuyin: I didn't understand. We died together, but when I awoke...I was alone. I looked for you, for... so long... Bit while I searched I realised something. Spira hasn't really changed at all. People are still fighting over nothing, still dying like they used to. A thousand years have passed, and I can't leave the hatred behind. [clenches fist, and moves towards Yuna] Vegnagun will make that all go away. And, then, we'll fade away...together. Help me do it, Lenne... [Now directly behind her, he touches her arm.]
 * Yuna: Don't touch me- [Shuyin pulls her arm back, and, turning her around, pulls her into a hug. Yuna's outfit glows, and pyreflies fly around them. Gently, they break apart, and, as thought, not spoken:] Who's feelings are these? Lenne's? [She looks up at Shuyin, and he pulls her to him as she thinks:] Mine?

 * Brother: I...I like Yuna's back.
 * Barkeep: Mish Yuna has nice backshide, yesh?

 * Maechan: There may still be a way to reunite with those who have gone.
 * Yuna: What?!
 * Paine: Watch what you say.
 * Maechan: Forgive me. Consider it the ramblings of an old man.

 * Shuyin: A thousand years...and this moment is all we get...?
 * Lenne: This moment's enough. I don't need anything else.

 * Buddy: Fiends are pouring out of the temples!
 * Rikku: Which ones?
 * Brother: Only all of them!

 * Yuna: Are you real?

John Webster

John Webster (c. 1580 – c. 1634) was an English Jacobean dramatist, a late contemporary of William Shakespeare. His tragedies The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi are often regarded as masterpieces of the early 17th-century English stage.

Quotes

 * Is not old wine wholesomest, old pippins toothsomest, old wood burn brightest, old linen wash whitest? Old soldiers, sweethearts, are surest, and old lovers are soundest.
 * Westward Hoe, Act II, scene ii. See also Wine, Friendship.

 * I saw him going the way of all flesh.
 * Westward Hoe, Act II, scene ii.

 * Vain the ambition of kings Who seek by trophies and dead things To leave a living name behind, And weave but nets to catch the wind.
 * The Devil's Law Case (1623).

 * I dare truly and boldly say, that one years exercise therein to ingenious spirits, under able Masters, will produce more real and true fruit, than the studying Aristotelian Philosophy hath brought forth in many centuries. O that the Schools therefore would leave their idle, and fruitless speculations, and not be too proud to put their hands to the coals and furnace, where they might find ocular experiments to confute their fopperies, and produce effects that would be beneficial to all posterities.
 * Academiarum Examen, or the Examination of Academies (1654), p. 71; of chemistry.

The White Devil (1612)

 * 'T is just like a summer bird-cage in a garden,—the birds that are without despair to get in, and the birds that are within despair and are in a consumption for fear they shall never get out.
 * Act I, scene ii. Compare: "To public feasts, where meet a public rout,— Where they that are without would fain go in, And they that are within would fain go out", John Davies, Contention betwixt a Wife, etc.

 * Condemn you me for that the duke did love me? So may you blame some fair and crystal river For that some melancholic, distracted man Hath drown'd himself in 't.
 * Act III, scene ii.

 * Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright, But look'd too near have neither heat nor light.
 * Act IV, scene 4. Compare Distance.

 * Call for the robin redbreast and the wren, Since o'er shady groves they hover, And with leaves and flowers do cover The friendless bodies of unburied men.
 * Act V, scene iv.

 * But keep the wolf far thence, that's foe to men, For with his nails he'll dig them up again.
 * Act V, scene iv.

 * Prosperity doth bewitch men, seeming clear; But seas do laugh, show white, when rocks are near.
 * Act V, scene vi.

Duchess of Malfi (1623)

 * Glories, like glowworms, afar off shine bright, But looked to near have neither heat nor light.
 * Act IV, scene ii.

 * Of what is't fools make such vain keeping? Sin their conception, their birth, weeping: Their life, a general mist of error, Their death, a hideous storm of terror.
 * Act IV, scene ii.

 * I know death hath ten thousand several doors For men to take their exits.
 * Act IV, scene ii. Compare: "Death hath so many doors to let out life", John Fletcher, The Custom of the Country, act ii, scene 2.

 * Heaven-gates are not so highly arched As princes' palaces; they that enter there Must go upon their knees.
 * Act IV, scene ii.

 * Cover her face; mine eyes dazzle: she died young.
 * Act IV, scene ii.

 * Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, Like diamonds, we are cut with our own dust.
 * Act V, scene v.

About John Webster

 * Webster was much possessed by death And saw the skull beneath the skin.
 * T.S. Eliot, "Whispers of Immortality" from Poems (1920).

 * Webster is not concerned with humanity. He is the poet of bile and brainstorm, the sweet singer of apoplexy; ideally, one feels, he would have had all his characters drowned in a sea of cold sweat. His muse drew nourishment from Bedlam, and might, a few centuries later, have done the same from Belsen.
 * Kenneth Tynan, review of The Duchess of Malfi at the Aldwych Theatre (1960), from Tynan Left and Right (1967).
