U. G. Krishnamurti

Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti (July 9, 1918 – March 22, 2007), better known as U.G. Krishnamurti, or just U.G., was a speaker and philosopher, often known as an "anti-guru" or as "the man who refused to be a guru."

Quotes

 * You think when you don't want to do anything. Thinking is a poor alternative to acting. Your thinking is consuming all your energy. Act, don't think!
 * As quoted in A Taste of Death: Thirty Days with U.G. in Gstaad, Switzerland (1995) by Mahesh Bhatt. Bhatt precedes this quote with the observation "You are what you do, not what you say you want to do" which has sometimes been misquoted as part of Krishnamurti's statement.

 * A guru is one who tells you to throw away all the crutches that we have been made to believe are essential for our survival. He would ask you to walk, and he would say that if you fall, you will arise and walk.
 * The Natural State: In the Words of U.G. Krishnamurti (2005) compiled by Peter Maverick, p. 141

 * Food, clothing and shelter — these are the basic needs. Beyond that, if you want anything, it is the beginning of self-deception.
 * Stopped in Our Tracks, Book Two: Excerpts from U.G.'s Dialogues (2005) by K. Chandrasekhar

 * It [thought] is a mechanical thing and can solve only mechanical problems. But you want to use it to understand something living; that is the problem. It is not intended for that. Human problems are something living. You cannot use thinking to solve those problems.
 * Stopped in Our Tracks, Book Two: Excerpts from U.G.'s Dialogues (2005) by K. Chandrasekhar

 * It is the body that is immortal. It is living from moment to moment. As a human body it is an extraordinary piece of creation. But as a human being he is rotten because of the culture.
 * Quoted in The Sage And the Housewife (2005) by Shanta Kelker, Ch. 3

The Mystique of Enlightenment (1982)

 * The Mystique of Enlightenment: The Radical Ideas of U.G. Krishnamurti (1982) edited by Rodney Arms

 * My teaching, if that is the word you want to use, has no copyright. You are free to reproduce, distribute, interpret, misinterpret, distort, garble, do what you like, even claim authorship, without my consent or the permission of anybody.
 * Copyright release found in this and several other publications of his conversations (note: copyright restrictions apply)

 * People call me an enlightened man — I detest that term — they can't find any other word to describe the way I am functioning. At the same time, I point out that there is no such thing as enlightenment at all. I say that because all my life I've searched and wanted to be an enlightened man, and I discovered that there is no such thing as enlightenment at all, and so the question whether a particular person is enlightened or not doesn't arise. I don't give a hoot for a sixth-century-BC Buddha, let alone all the other claimants we have in our midst. They are a bunch of exploiters, thriving on the gullibility of the people. There is no power outside of man. Man has created God out of fear. So the problem is fear and not God. I discovered for myself and by myself that there is no self to realize. That's the realization I am talking about. It comes as a shattering blow. It hits you like a thunderbolt. You have invested everything in one basket, self-realization, and, in the end, suddenly you discover that there is no self to discover, no self to realize.
 * Part 1: U.G.

 * To be yourself requires extraordinary intelligence. You are blessed with that intelligence; nobody need give it to you; nobody can take it away from you. He who lets that express itself in its own way is a "Natural Man".
 * Part 2: The Mystique of Enlightenment

 * I have one thing against medical technology. You see, the very desire to understand the human being is to control him — that is why I am not quite in sympathy. The day you control the endocrine glands, you will change the personality of man; you won't need any brainwashing. Brainwashing is a very elaborate process. If nature had been allowed to go on in its own way, everybody would have become a unique flower. Why should there be only roses in this world? What for? A grass flower or a dandelion flower has as much beauty, as much importance in the scheme of things. Why should there be only jasmine flowers, roses, or some other flower? So, the possibility is there of a change taking place which is sudden, not progressive. It has to happen in a very sudden and explosive way to break the whole thing.
 * Part 4: Betwixt Bewilderment and Understanding

Mind is a Myth (1987)

 * Mind is a Myth: Disquieting Conversations with the Man Called U.G. (1987) edited by Terry Newland

 * I have assumed that the goal, enlightenment, exists. I have had to search and it is the search itself which has been choking me and keeping me out of my natural state. There is no such thing as spiritual or psychological enlightenment because there is no such thing as spirit or psyche. I have been a damn fool all my life, searching for something which does not exist. My search is at an end.
 * Quoted in Introduction by Terry Newland

 * There is no such thing as truth. The only thing that is actually there is your "logically" ascertained premise, which you call "truth".
 * Ch. 1: The Certainty That Blasts Everything

 * Our mind (and there are no individual minds — only "mind", which is the accumulation of man's knowledge and experience) has created the notion of the psyche and evolution. Only technology progresses, while we as a race are moving closer to complete and total destruction of the world and ourselves. Everything in man's consciousness is pushing the whole world, which nature has so laboriously created, toward destruction. There has been no qualitative change in man's thinking; we feel about our neighbours just as the frightened caveman felt towards his. The only thing that has changed is our ability to destroy our neighbor and his property.
 * Ch. 1: The Certainty That Blasts Everything

 * It is the ones who believe in God, who preach peace and talk of love, who have created the human jungle. Compared to man's jungle, nature's jungle is simple and sensible! In nature animals don't kill their own kind. That is part of the beauty of nature. In this regard man is worse than the other animals. The so-called "civilized" man kills for ideals and beliefs, while the animals kill only for survival.
 * Ch. 1: The Certainty That Blasts Everything

 * Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow. It is like lightning and thunder. They occur simultaneously, but sound, travelling slower than light, reaches you later, creating the illusion of two separate events.
 * Ch. 3: Not Knowing Is Your Natural State

 * If you have the courage to touch life for the first time, you will never know what hit you. Everything man has thought, felt and experienced is gone, and nothing is put in its place.
 * Ch. 4: There Is Nothing To Understand

 * If you are freed from the goal of the "perfect" ,"godly", "truly religious" then that which is natural in man begins to express itself. Your religious and secular culture has placed before you the ideal man or woman, the perfect human being, and then tries to fit everybody into that mold. It is impossible. Nature does not exist at all. Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque.
 * Ch. 4: There Is Nothing To Understand

 * I am simply pointing out that at the rate at which we are going the whole genetic engineering technology will end up in the hands of the political system to be used for the complete control and subjugation of man.
 * Ch. 4: There Is Nothing To Understand

Thought is Your Enemy (1990)

 * Thought is Your Enemy: Mind-shattering Conversations with the Man Called U.G. (1990) edited by Antony Paul Frank Noronha, J.S.L.R. Narayana Moorty, and Sunita Pant Bansal

 * Society or culture or whatever you might want to call it, has created us all solely and wholly for the purpose of maintaining its continuity and status quo.
 * Chapter II: Throw Away Your Crutches

 * To be an individual and to be yourself you don't have to do a thing. Culture demands that you should be something other than what you are. What a tremendous amount of energy — the will, the effort — we waste trying to become that! If that energy is released, what is it that we can't do? How simple it would be for every one of us to live in this world!
 * Chapter III: The Robot Is Dreaming

The Courage to Stand Alone (2001)

 * The Courage to Stand Alone: Conversations with U.G. Krishnamurti (2001) edited by Ellen J. Chrystal

 * Whatever pursuit you are indulging in, somewhere along the line it has to dawn on you that it is not leading you anywhere. As long as you want something, you will do that. That want has to be very, very clear. What do you want? All the time I ask you the question, "What do you want?" You say, "I want to be at peace with myself." That is an impossible goal for you because everything you are doing to be at peace with yourself is what is destroying the peace that is already there. You have set in motion the movement of thought which is destroying the peace that is there, you see. It is very difficult to understand that all that you are doing is the impediment, is the one thing that is disturbing the harmony, the peace that is already there.
 * Part I: You Don't Have To Do A Thing

 * You know the story of 'Alice in Wonderland'. The red queen has to run faster and faster to keep still where she is. That is exactly what you are all doing. running faster and faster. But you are not moving anywhere.
 * Part III: Nice Meeting You, and Goodbye

 * You can have the courage to climb the mountain, swim the lakes, go on a raft to the other side of the Atlantic or Pacific. That any fool can do, but the courage to be on your own, to stand on your two solid feet, is something which cannot be given by somebody. You cannot free yourself of that burden by trying to develop that courage. If you are freed from the entire burden of the entire past of mankind, then what is left there is the courage.
 * Part III: Nice Meeting You, and Goodbye

No Way Out (2002)

 * No Way Out : Conversations With U.G. Krishnamurti (different editions of this work arrange and title the material differently)

 * I am not anti-rational, just unrational. You may infer a rational meaning in what I say or do, but it is your doing, not mine.
 * Ch. 1: The Unrational Philosophy of U.G. Krishnamurti

 * Whether you are interested in moksha, liberation, freedom, transformation, you name it, you are interested in happiness without one moment of unhappiness, pleasure without pain, it is the same thing. Whether one is here in India or Russia or in America or anywhere, what people want is to have one without the other. But there is no way you can have one without the other. This demand is not in the interest of the survival of this living organism.
 * Ch. 2: Nothing To Be Transformed

 * We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood.
 * Ch. 4: You Invent Your Reality

 * Nature is interested in only two things — to survive and to reproduce one like itself. Anything you superimpose on that, all the cultural input, is responsible for the boredom of man.
 * Ch. 4: You Invent Your Reality

 * No talent is required to reproduce. Nature has done a tremendous job in creating this extraordinary piece — the body. The body does not want to learn anything from culture. It doesn't want to know anything from us. We are always interested in telling this body how to function. All our experiences, spiritual or otherwise, are the basic cause of our suffering. The body is not interested in your bliss or your ecstasies. It is not interested in your pleasure. It is not in interested in anything that you are interested in. And that is the battle that is going on all the time. But there seems to be no way out.
 * Ch. 4: You Invent Your Reality

 * We think that thoughts are there inside of us. We think that they are self-generated and spontaneous. What is actually there is what I call a thought-sphere. The thought-sphere is the totality of man's experiences, thoughts, and feelings passed on to us from generation to generation.
 * Ch. 6: Seeking Strengthens Separation

 * Thought creates frontiers everywhere. That's all it can do. ...it is thought that has created the world; and you draw lines on this planet, "This is my country, that is your country". So how can there be unity between two countries? The very thing that is creating the frontiers and differences cannot be the means to bridge the different viewpoints. It is an exercise in futility.
 * Ch. 7: What Kind Of Human Being Do You Want?

 * Political institutions and ideologies are the warty outgrowth of the religious thinking of the man; in a way responsible for the tragedy of mankind. We are slaves to our ideas and beliefs, and we torture ourselves in the hope of achieving something. All our experience, spiritual or otherwise, is the basic cause of our suffering... The body is not interested in anything "you" are interested in; that is the battle that is going on all the time.
 * Ch. 7: What Kind Of Human Being Do You Want?

 * The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know. All these therapies, all these techniques, religious or otherwise, are only perpetuating the agony of man.
 * Ch. 7: What Kind Of Human Being Do You Want?

 * The plain fact is that if you don't have a problem, you create one. If you don't have a problem you don't feel that you are living.
 * Ch. 7: What Kind Of Human Being Do You Want?

Odilon Redon

Odilon Redon (22 April 1840 – 6 July 1916) was a Symbolist painter, born in Bordeaux, Aquitaine, France.

Quotes of Odilon Redon

 * Like music my drawings transport us to the ambiguous world of the indeterminate.
 * Quoted in Jean-François Guillou, Great Paintings of the World (2000), p. 190.

 * The artist lives only day by day, and is the recipient of the things that surround him; he transposes sensations from outside, according to what the fate reserves him, but transforms them relentlessly and tenaciously, in a manner determined by him alone.
 * in Confidences of an artist (1894) published posthumously in Paris in 1922 as part of the book of memoirs To himself; as quoted by Paul Westheim in Confessions of Artists - Letters, Memoirs and Observations of Contemporary Artists, Propyläen Publishing House, Berlin, 1925: p. 82

Nikolaus Pevsner

Sir Nikolaus Bernhard Leon Pevsner (30 January 1902 – 18 August 1983) was a German-British art historian and architectural historian best known for his monumental 46-volume series of county-by-county guides, The Buildings of England (1951–74).

Quotes

 * A bicycle shed is a building; Lincoln Cathedral is a piece of architecture. Nearly everything that encloses space on a scale sufficient for a human being to move in is a building; the term architecture applies only to buildings designed with a view to aesthetic appeal.
 * An Outline of European Architecture (Harmondsworth: Penguin, [1942] 1957), p. 23.

The Buildings of England (1951-1974)

 * It was perhaps a bad moment to undertake an architectural guide to the City of London. There are, at the time of writing, still whole areas lying waste after bombing in the Second World War. A number of the City churches, also, are not yet repaired or restored. Yet the publication of this volume was much asked for; so I decided to undertake it in spite of these disadvantages.

 * The great importance of Wilbury House [in Wiltshire] lies less in its appearance now than in its appearance as it was first built and illustrated in Vitruvius Britannicus. It was designed by and built for William Benson in 1710. He is notorious for having been made Wren's successor in 1718, when George I dismissed Wren as a Tory and an old man, and for having failed so completely that he himself was replaced only one year later. But he is memorable as the designer of the first, not Neo-Palladian, but neo-Inigo-Jones house in England. For this is what Wilbury was, as Sir John Summerson was the first to point out. The house then had a four-column Corinthian portico of tall columns set well away from the wall.

About

 * Pevsner's career is a prism through which to view the world of art history as it developed in England in the middle of the twentieth century.
 * Susie Harries, "Nikolaus Pevsner: The Life" (2011), page ix

 * Pevsner was very much the German bourgeois Jew - a certain amount of austerity and not a lot of giggles.
 * Susie Harries, "Nikolaus Pevsner: The Life" (2011), page 663

Billie Piper

Billie Piper (born 22 September 1982) is a British actress and former pop singer, known for her role as Rose Tyler in Doctor Who, and for her former marriage to DJ Chris Evans.

Quotes

 * People were dealing with CGI for the first time, so I think we were really unsure as to whether it would be a huge success or a big flop. … I thought the scripts were so good. It had a kind of domestic element which I'm not sure it ever had before. I think we were feeling quite confident about that. … In terms of whether it had a place in the world when it aired, I think everyone was quite unsure. I didn't know until it aired and people really seemed to like it.
 * On her role in the 21st century revival of Doctor Who, as quoted in "'I've heard that before!': Chris Evans cracks ex-wife jokes with Billie Piper as she appears on his show with new husband Laurence Fox", Daily Mail (22 November 2013)]

Guardian interview (2008)

 * Quotes of Piper from "Piper dreams" by Barbara Ellen. in The Observer (6 September 2008)

 * I was freakishly ambitious. I didn't want to be a child. I wanted my own flat, to work and be a grown up.
 * On her childhood.
 * I think people have common sense and can tell what's real, what's right or what's wrong and work it out.
 * Responding to notions that her role in Call Girl might inspire women to become prostitutes.
 * I think it must be hard being David. I get a certain level of attention but — I've seen it in action — he can't move for attention.
 * On her fame playing Rose Tyler, and David Tennant's playing The Doctor of Doctor Who.
 * I don't think anyone understands anyone's job … We all have the same hang-ups. I get jealous if I know Laurence is kissing someone else.
 * I believe in being with someone for ever. Even though my marriage to Chris didn't work, I still don't consider it a failed marriage — it just came to its natural end. It didn't make me feel like I never wanted to get married again. I like sharing things with somebody.
 * On her marriage to Chris Evans, and marriage generally.
 * I just feel really content at the moment … I've done quite a lot of stuff and I don't have to feel desperate to do anything that radical or wild. I've set myself all these challenges and worked through them. I just feel I'm ready to be a mum now.

 * Wednesday: Which do you think?
 * Pugsley: The cannonball?
 * Wednesday: Very good. But which one will bounce?
 * Pugsley: The baby?
 * Wednesday: There's only one way to find out. Ready? 1... 2... 3...
 * [She and Pugsly drop a cannonball from the roof. Gomez opening the window to enjoy the night air, and catching Pubert as he falls from the roof]

 * Morticia: Oh, dear.

Fester laughs hysterically through it all, although the last four are done with Gomez's back to him]
 * Uncle Fester: Children, you see?

 * Wednesday: Death! Death to the enemies of the people of the Republic. [Pugsley releases the guillotine and chops a watermelon in half] Hurrah! Justice is served. Bring forward the evil one. [Pugsley brings over Pubert, who is in a white dress and bonnet] You have betrayed the people of France. You are evil incarnate. How do you plead?
 * Pugsley: [holding up Pubert, speaking in "baby voice"] Guilty!

 * Morticia: [from downstairs] Children, what are you doing?

 * Gomez: Cara mia.
 * Morticia: Mon cher. One house, three children, so many windows. I'm just like any modern woman trying to have it all. Loving husband, a family. It's just, I wish I had more time to seek out the dark forces and join their hellish crusade.

 * Heather: Children, as your new nanny, I know we're all concerned about the environment. So, this morning, let's discuss how to prevent forest fires.
 * Wednesday: Prevent them? [She lights a match]
 * Mrs. Montgomery: All right, children, I've had it up to here. Now you just answer one simple question: Where is that baby?
 * Wednesday: Which part?
 * Nanny: [holding up Polly the Puppet] Hello, kiddies, I'm Polly the Puppet. What shall we do today? I know! Let's all clean our rooms!
 * Wednesday: [holding up devil puppet] Hello, Polly, I'll clean my room. In exchange for your immortal soul.

 * Gomez: [to Fester] You'll meet someone. Someone very special. Someone who won't press charges. I hope that someday you'll know the indescribable joy of having children, and of paying someone else to raise them.
 * Uncle Fester: [talking to Gomez about wanting a relationship with a woman] I... I have needs!
 * Gomez: ...There's Thing!
 * [Thing shudders]
 * Uncle Fester: [referring to Thing relieving Fester's "desires"] It's not the same thing, I want legs, a body... a head.
 * Gomez: TWO legs?

 * Debbie Jellinsky: Hi, I'm Debbie Jellinsky from the agency.
 * Morticia: The agency? But they claimed no one else was available. They suggested a Doberman.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: [meeting Gomez] Isn't he a lady-killer!
 * Gomez: Acquitted!

 * Morticia: Children, this is Miss Jellinsky, our new nanny. What do we say?
 * Wednesday: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

 * Morticia: [handing Pubert to Debbie] You've had your shots? Measles, mumps, rabies?

 * [Thing hops on Debbie's shoulder]
 * Morticia: Thing, stop that.
 * Gomez: He likes you.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: [Debbie sucks on Thing's index finger. He shudders and falls off] I'm good with my hands.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: Good night.
 * Morticia: Scream if you need anything.

 * Morticia: All the important numbers: police, fire department, morgue.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: [to Pubert] Hold still, you little brat!
 * Wednesday: He's not a brat.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: [whirling around, caught] Of course not. He's an adorable little baby.
 * Wednesday: Fine. Rub it in!

 * Morticia: [in unison with Gomez] Summer camp?

 * [The Addams family are driving to Camp Chippewa]
 * Pugsley: What's a Chippewa?
 * Gomez: It's an old Indian word.
 * Wednesday: It means "orphan."

 * Gomez: [visibly disgusted] Fresh air. The scent of pine. [He hands Pugsley a cigar]
 * Morticia: Wednesday, look at all of the other children, their freckles, their bright little eyes, their eager, friendly smiles. Help them.

 * Amanda: Hi, I'm Amanda Buckman. Why are you dressed like that?
 * Wednesday: Like what?
 * Amanda: Like you're going to a funeral. Why are you dressed like somebody died?
 * Wednesday: Wait.

 * Don Buckman: Our Amanda's already skipped two grades. How 'bout your boy?
 * Gomez: [beaming] Probation!

 * Morticia: Wednesday's at that very special age when a girl has only one thing on her mind.
 * Ellen: Boys?
 * Wednesday: Homicide.

 * Gary: [blows whistle] Attention! Hey! Listen up, everybody! I'm Gary Granger!
 * Becky: And I'm Becky Martin-Granger!
 * Gary: We're the owners and directors here at Camp Chippewa. America's foremost facility for privileged young adults.
 * Becky: And we're all here to learn, to grow, and to just plain have fun!
 * Gary: 'Cause that's what being privileged is all about!

 * Gary: [to the Campers] Lifesaving! Now I know we're all top-notch little swimmers, but now we get to show our stuff and earn those certificates! Hey, how about our first little pair of lifesaving buddies? Amanda, Wednesday?
 * Amanda: Is that your bathing suit?
 * Wednesday: Is that your overbite?
 * Gary: Now, one of you will be the drowning victim and the other one gets to be our lifesaver.
 * Amanda: I'll be the victim!
 * Wednesday: All your life.

 * Wednesday: [continuing a ghost story] And so, the next night, the ghost returned to the haunted cabin. And he said to the campers, "None of you really believe in me, so I'll have to prove my power." And the next morning, when the campers woke up, all of their old noses had grown back.
 * [all of the girls scream]

 * Uncle Fester: [about Debbie] She makes me think of... volatile chemicals.
 * Gomez: Truly, Fester? Has it finally happened at long last?
 * Uncle Fester: I don't know! I think so!

 * Debbie Jellinsky: You know, when I first saw him, I thought he was from Europe.
 * Uncle Fester: You did?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: It's true.
 * Uncle Fester: But I took a bath!

 * Debbie Jellinsky: I just can't tell, does he like me at all?
 * Morticia: Of course, he does. He vomited.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: That's true. Does he always do that with women he likes?
 * Morticia: Oh no. Just you.

 * Uncle Fester: I'm making such a mess of things. Gomez! How do you do it? How can I be like you? How can I be... suave?
 * Gomez: Woo her. Admire her. Make her feel like she's the most sublime creature on Earth.

 * Gomez: Perfection achieved. We are the luckiest brothers on Earth. We are unworthy of such splendor, undeserving of such radiance.
 * Uncle Fester:: Uh... that's right! We should have... ugly girls!

 * Debbie Jellinsky: These Addams men, where do you find them?
 * Morticia: It has to be damp.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: But with your looks, your charm... women must follow you everywhere!
 * Uncle Fester: Store detectives.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: And I dreamed that when I met him that we would wait until our wedding night to give ourselves to one another, to make the ultimate sacrifice.
 * Uncle Fester: A goat?

 * Uncle Fester: Gomez! Morticia! Great news! Something impossible... a miracle!
 * Gomez: The rash?
 * Morticia: It's gone?
 * Uncle Fester: I'm engaged!
 * [Debbie shows them the ring]
 * Morticia: That ring!
 * Gomez: It was our mother's. She was buried with it.
 * [Debbie holds up a shovel]

 * Gary: [opening cabin door] Mail call. [handing out mail] Addams!
 * Becky: [handing out mail] Barclay, Cesselman, Calloway, Dexter, Donman, Edwards, Evans, Barclay, Finley, Fisher, Gingham, Ginley, Harper.
 * Wednesday: Oh, no.
 * Pugsley: What is it?
 * Wednesday: This is unspeakable.
 * Becky: Is something wrong, Wednesday? Bad news?
 * Wednesday: This is the worst thing that has ever happened in the history of human events. Uncle Fester's getting married.
 * Gary: A wedding? But that's great news!
 * Amanda: To whom?
 * Wednesday: The nanny.
 * Amanda: Get out of the cabin. I mean, I'd kill myself. The help?
 * Becky: I'm sure she's a very nice lady.
 * Amanda: I think that's disgusting. I think their whole family's like some weird medical experiment. I think they're like, circus people.
 * Pugsley: [menacingly] What did you say?
 * Becky: Campers! Group hug!
 * Gary: Wednesday... Pugsley. Will a hug hurt us?
 * Wednesday: We don't hug.
 * Becky: Oh, they're just shy.
 * Pugsley: We're not shy.
 * Wednesday: We're contagious.
 * Gary: I'm sensing some friction here. Somethin' not quite Chippewa.
 * Camp Children: Mm-hmm.
 * Gary: But, hey, no problemo. All they need are good friends, good fun, and a little time in the Harmony Hut.

 * Wednesday: What are you in for?
 * Joel: I wouldn't go horseback riding.
 * Wednesday: That's all?
 * Joel: And I wouldn't make a bird house.
 * Wednesday: Why not?
 * Joel: I just wanted to read.
 * Gary: [popping in and taking Joel's book] Not on my time, four-eyes. Ha ha ha ha ha!

 * Wednesday: Hurry up!
 * Pugsley: I'm coming.
 * Joel: Wait!
 * Wednesday: Who's there?
 * Joel: Be careful. Tetanus.
 * [Suddenly, a siren sounds]
 * Amanda: [walking toward Wednesday, Pugsley and Joel with Gary, Becky and Camp Children] There they are! I saw them sneak out.
 * Gary: Children, what do you think you're doing?
 * Wednesday: We have to see our family. It's very important.
 * Becky: More important than a summer of fun? More important than making new friends? More important than sharing?
 * Gary: And Joel Glicker. I'm surprised at you.
 * Joel: I-I have to get out of here. I have allergies.
 * Becky: [mockingly] Oh, you're allergic? To sunshine and archery and crafts?
 * Joel: Yes.
 * Amanda: I think they should be punished. [starts chanting] Punish!
 * Camp Children: [chanting along with Amanda] Punish! Punish! Punish! Punish! Punish! Punish!
 * Becky: No! No! We are not here to punish. We are here to inspire.
 * Gary: Campers? Do you know what I think our little ninja friends here need? Do you know what just might turn their sad and potentially wasted little lives right all around?
 * Joel: What?
 * Camp Children: [singing in unison with Gary, Becky, and Amanda] Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya. Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya. Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya. Oh Lord, kumbaya.

 * Joel: Do you know what happens if my mother uses a fabric softener?
 * Wednesday: What?
 * Joel: I die.

 * Wednesday: Do you believe in the existence of evil?
 * Joel: Well, did you met my mom?
 * Wednesday: My uncle Fester's about to get married to this woman in a white uniform.
 * Joel: A radiologist.
 * Wednesday: A nanny.

 * [after the dancer in the cake doesn't pop out]
 * Gomez: That poor girl. Lurch, was she in there before you baked? [as Lurch hangs his head] C'est la vie!

 * Gomez: [to his family] To mirth, to merriment... to manslaughter.

 * Margaret Addams: What.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Oh, I didn't say anything.
 * Margaret Addams: No, that's the baby's nickname, "What." From the obstetrician.

 * Uncle Fester: [as they are getting married, Fester tearfully recites his vows] I, Fester Addams, do hereby declare my un-ending love. [sobbing] I will worship you forever. I will devote my every waking moment to your happiness alone. [openly sobbing] Henceforth, I am your eternal and helpless slave.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: [near indifferent] Nice. [to Cousin Itt, who acts as minister] Ditto.

 * [After Wednesday catches Debbie's wedding bouquet]
 * Joel: Now, you have to get married.
 * Wednesday: It's not binding.
 * Cousin Ophelia: Tramp.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: Would you die for me?
 * Uncle Fester: Yes.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Promise?

 * Wednesday: [reading the letter in her hand] "Dear Wednesday and Pugsley. I love you dearly, but I can never see you again."
 * Gary: [impatiently] Glicker, go!
 * [Joel gives up and flings the arrow at the ground]
 * Becky: Good try!
 * [Joel goes to the end of the line, as Pugsley takes the bow, and Wednesday finishes reading]
 * Wednesday: "When you are grown up and very lonely, you will understand. Love, Uncle Fester." He's a dead man.
 * [Pugsley hits an American Bald Eagle]
 * Becky: It's an American Bald Eagle!
 * Gary: But aren't they extinct?
 * Wednesday: They are now.

 * [after Fester walks off the plane with leis around his neck, he approaches Debbie]
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Fester?
 * Uncle Fester: Uh-huh?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: We may be together for a while.
 * Uncle Fester: All our lives, cara mia!
 * Debbie Jellinsky: What?
 * Uncle Fester: Mon cher.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Speak English!
 * Uncle Fester: Pumpkin?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: And if I have to be seen with you, we need to make some changes.
 * Uncle Fester: Changes?

 * Driver: Mrs. Addams?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Yes?
 * Driver: Your hearse, ma'am. Where's the body?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: [pointing to Fester] He's right there.
 * Driver: But he's alive.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Tell me about it!

 * Debbie Jellinsky: [shouting at moving men] These are beautiful things! They're from catalogues!

 * Uncle Fester: I'm her husband.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Fester!
 * Uncle Fester: Gimme a kiss.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Gimme a 20.

 * Gomez: At his request, I would rip out my eyes. At his command, I would crawl on my belly through hot coals and broken glass.
 * Morticia: Why wait?

 * Morticia: So... you still desire me after all these years? The old ball and chain?
 * Gomez: Forever!
 * Morticia: I'll get them!

 * Morticia: We want to see Debbie and Fester.
 * Concetta: [turning around and shouting] Miss DEBBIE!
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Debra!

 * [at Debbie's house]
 * Morticia: Where are we?
 * Grandmama: It looks familiar... Of course! The gates of hell.

 * Morticia: [to Debbie] You have enslaved him. You have placed Fester under some strange sexual spell. I respect that. But please, may we see him?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Don't even think about it.
 * Morticia: You have gone too far. You have married Fester, you have destroyed his spirit, you have taken him from us. All that I could forgive. But, Debbie...
 * Debbie Jellinsky: What?
 * Morticia: ...pastels?

 * Grandmama: [waving a skull at Debbie] Luxor, nexor, burst, and BURN!
 * Debbie Jellinsky: What is she doing?
 * Grandmama: Just a curse. Have a nice day. [She air kisses]

 * Gomez: [shouting] I demand justice! Someone has married my brother!
 * Desk sergeant: [sarcastically] No!
 * Gomez: She took him to Hawaii!
 * Desk sergeant: [cynically] Get outta here!
 * Gomez: They have moved into a large, expensive home, where they make love constantly!
 * Desk sergeant: I hate when that happens.
 * Gomez: Arrest her at once, without delay!
 * Desk sergeant: Who?
 * Gomez: Debbie. My brother's wife, the temptress of Waikiki!
 * Desk sergeant: Who are you? What are you? Who moved the rock?
 * Gomez: Officer, you must issue a subpoena. I believe they own...
 * Morticia: Gomez, NO!
 * Gomez: [shouting] A Buick!
 * Desk sergeant: Just leave, leave quietly, leave now. Don't make me call Ringling Brothers.
 * Gomez: [shouting] Has the planet gone mad? My brother, passion's hostage. I seek justice - denied! I shall not submit! I shall conquer! I shall rise! My name is Gomez Addams, and I have seen evil! [as Grandmama waves Pubert in the air] I have seen horror! [as Lurch waves] I have seen the unholy maggots which feast in the dark recesses of the human soul!
 * Morticia: They're at camp.
 * Gomez: I have seen all this, officer. But until today, I had never seen... you!
 * Desk sergeant: Hook him, book him, cook him. Now!

 * Joel: [to Wednesday and Pugsley] Look at this. I got 'em. "Schizos and Serial Killers". I have almost the whole series. I'm only missing Jack the Ripper and that Zodiac Guy.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: Yes, I need to renew my passport. I'll be leaving the country very shortly.
 * Passport Clerk: Will you be traveling alone?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: Yes, I'll be a widow.

 * Wednesday: I don't want to be in the pageant.
 * Gary: Don't you want to help me realize my vision?
 * Wednesday: Your work is puerile and under-dramatized. You lack any sense of structure, character, and the Aristotelian unities.
 * Gary: Young lady, I am getting just a tad tired of your attitude problem.

 * Gary: Yes, indeedy, just the ticket: "Bambi."
 * Becky: "Lassie Come Home."
 * Gary: "The Little Mermaid."
 * Wednesday: Stop it!
 * Joel: [motioning to Pugsley] He's only a child.

 * Wednesday: I'm not perky.
 * Amanda: That's for damn sure.

 * Grandmama: [in Pubert's now lighthearted nursery] Stay back! He's very sick!
 * Morticia: [Morticia and Gomez look over into his cradle to see a blond, rosy-cheeked, smiling baby] My baby!
 * [Gomez faints]

 * Grandmama: Bingo! This kid knows somethings up, and unless Fester comes back, we're talking dimples.
 * Gomez: Not in this house!
 * Grandmama: He could stay this way for years! Forever! He could become... a lawyer.
 * Gomez: I won't listen!
 * Grandmama: An orthodontist!
 * Morticia: Mama! Stop!
 * Grandmama: President!
 * Gomez: [looking up above] Please! I beg you! Take me! [He sobs openly]

 * Camp Children: [at Thanksgiving play, singing, dressed as Thanksgiving food] Eat us! Hey, its Thanksgiving Day! Eat us, we make a nice buffet! We lost the race with Farmer Ed, eat us 'cause we're good and dead. White man or red man from east, north or south, chop off our legs, and put 'em in your mouth!
 * Pugsley: Eat me!
 * Camp Children: Sautéed or barbecued!
 * Pugsley: Eat me!
 * Camp Children: We once were pets but now we're food! We won't stay fresh for very long! So eat us before we finish this song! Eat us before we finish this song!

 * Debbie Jellinsky: FREEZE!
 * Uncle Fester: Pookie?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: I tried to make it look like an accident. I tried to give you some dignity. But oh no, not you.
 * Uncle Fester: What are you saying?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: I'm saying I want you dead and I want your money.
 * Uncle Fester: But... but... don't you love me?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: AH HA HA HA!
 * Uncle Fester: Is that a no?

 * Pugsley: [in the Thanksgiving play] I am a turkey. Kill me.

 * Mrs. Glicker: [regarding Joel dressed as an Indian] 20 grand for summer camp and he's Mr. Woo-Woo.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: [to Fester and Thing] I'll get you - and your little hand, too!

 * Wednesday: [dressed as an Indian, ad-libbing during a Thanksgiving play] Wait!
 * Amanda: What?
 * Wednesday: We cannot break bread with you.
 * Amanda: Huh? Becky, what's going on?
 * Becky: [whispered] Wednesday!
 * Wednesday: "You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides. You will play golf and enjoy hot hors d'oeuvres. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They have said, "Do not trust the Pilgrims. Especially Sarah Miller."
 * Amanda: Gary, she's changing the words.
 * Wednesday: And for all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.

 * Gary: Children, stop it! You're destroying my text!

 * Joel: I'll never forget you.
 * Wednesday: You won't?
 * Joel: You're too weird. Cara mia.
 * Wednesday: Mon cher.

 * [Morticia is reading "The Cat in the Hat" to Pubert, who has golden curls and rosy cheeks]
 * Morticia: Are you enjoying this? [sadly] To think, a child of mine! [she turns the page] "I know it is wet, and the sun is not sunny. But we can have lots of good fun... that is funny." [flipping to the last page] Oh, no. He lives.

 * Morticia: My baby is ill, and my husband is dying. Oh, Mama, what shall I do?
 * Grandmama: Well, you have a black dress.

 * Uncle Fester: It's me, Gomez! I've tried to be someone I'm not. I live in shame... and the suburbs!
 * Gomez: But you belong to Debbie! You're Debbie's love toy! You are Mr. Debbie!
 * Uncle Fester: I am an Addams!
 * Gomez: Fester!
 * [They embrace]

 * Wednesday: [to Gomez and Morticia] You sent us to camp. They made us sing.

 * Morticia: [in a philosophical sighing tone] Our whole family... together at last... three generations... above ground.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: [shouting from offstage, then suddenly appearing on the scene holding a ridiculous-looking fat-bodied old-fashioned sawed-off shotgun, which she pumps dramatically to chamber a shell] IN-LAWS!
 * [Shluck-shlick!]

 * Debbie Jellinsky: I don't wanna hurt anybody. I don't enjoy hurting anybody. I don't like guns, or bombs, or electric chairs. But sometimes people just won't listen. And so, I have to use persuasion. And slides. [showing slide pictures] My parents, Sharon and Dave. Generous, doting, or were they? All I ever wanted was a Ballerina Barbie. In her pretty pink tutu. My birthday. [the slide shows her as a child, smiling and opening a gift] I was 10, and do you know what they got me? Malibu Barbie.
 * Morticia: Malibu Barbie.
 * Gomez: The nightmare.
 * Morticia and Gomez: The nerve.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: [flicking to the next slide of her throwing a bared-teeth temper tantrum] That's not what I wanted! That's not who I was. I was a ballerina, graceful, delicate! They had to go.
 * [The next slide shot shows a burning house]

 * Debbie Jellinsky: My first husband, the heart surgeon. All day long, coronaries, transplants.
 * Grandmama: What about your needs?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: "Sorry about dinner, Deb. The Pope has a cold."
 * [The next slide shows a shadow of an axe on the wall heading towards the Surgeon]
 * Grandmama: An axe! That takes me back.

 * Debbie Jellinsky: Husband number two. The senator. He loved his state, he loved his country!
 * Grandmama: What about Debbie?
 * Debbie Jellinsky: "Sorry, Debbie, no Mercedes this year. We have to set an example." Oh yeah? Set this!
 * [The next slide shows the Senator, panicking as car headlights approach him]

 * Debbie Jellinsky: My latest husband, my late husband, Fester.
 * Uncle Fester: The fool.
 * Debbie Jellinsky: The corpse. And his adorable family. You took me in, you accepted me, but did any of you love me? Really love me?
 * Gomez: Hands!
 * [The Addams family, all strapped into their electric chairs, are unable to raise their hands]

 * Debbie Jellinsky: So I-I killed. So I maimed. So I destroyed one innocent life after another. Aren't I a human being? Don't I yearn, and ache, and shop? Don't I deserve love... and jewelry?

 * Debbie Jellinsky: Good-bye everybody! Wish me luck!
 * The Addams Family: Good luck!

 * Morticia: Adieu, mon cher.
 * Gomez: Adios, cara mia.

 * Uncle Fester: [walking down the hallway, arms full of presents] A birthday party! What a treat! And to think, I might have missed all this! What was I thinking of?
 * Wednesday: Physical pleasure.
 * Uncle Fester: Ooohhh!
 * Pugsley: Uncle Fester, do you miss Debbie?
 * Uncle Fester: Well... sometimes, late at night, I remember how she used to turn to me and say, "Jeez, Fester, go back to your room!"

 * Uncle Fester: Dementia! What a beautiful name!
 * Dementia: It means "insanity."
 * Uncle Fester: My name is Fester. It means "to rot."

 * Joel: [dressed like Gomez] How do I look?
 * Wednesday: Disturbing.

 * [last lines]
 * Joel: Wednesday, do you think that maybe someday you might want to get married and have kids?
 * Wednesday: No.
 * Joel: But what if you met the right man, who worshipped and adored you? Who'd do anything for you? Who'd be your devoted slave? Then what would you do?
 * Wednesday: I'd pity him.
 * Joel: Poor Debbie. She was sick.
 * Wednesday: She wasn't sick. She was sloppy.
 * Joel: What do you mean?
 * Wednesday: If I wanted to kill my husband, I'd do it, and I wouldn't get caught.
 * Joel: How?
 * Wednesday: I'd scare him to death.
 * Joel: No, you wouldn't. [He kneels at Debbie's grave] We're all very sorry, Debbie. We wish you only the best. [He reaches out to put flowers on the grave. Suddenly, a hand reaches up and grabs him. He screams while Wednesday smiles]

Sean Penn

Sean Justin Penn (born 17 August 1960) is an Academy Award-winning American actor, director, screenwriter, and producer.

Quotes

 * You tolerate me. You really tolerate me.
 * Said during Penn's 1996 acceptance of the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead in Dead Man Walking (1996-03-23)
 * Penn was making light of his Hollywood reputation as a hothead.
 * Allusion to quote in Sally Field's 1984 Oscar acceptance speech, which is popularly misremembered as, "You like me. You really like me!"

 * Many of your actions to date and those proposed seem to violate every defining principle of this country over which you preside; intolerance of debate (“with us or against us”), marginalization of your critics, the promoting of fear through unsubstantiated rhetoric, manipulation of a quick comfort media, and the position of your administration’s deconstruction of civil liberties all contradict the very core of the patriotism you claim. You lead, it seems, through a bloodlined sense of entitlement. Take a close look at your most vehement media supporters. See the fear in their eyes as their loud voices of support ring out with that historically disastrous undercurrent of rage and panic masked as “straight tough talk.” How far have we come from understanding what it is to kill one man, one woman, or one child, much less the “collateral damage” of many hundreds of thousands. Your use of the words “this is a new kind of war” is often accompanied by an odd smile. It concerns me that what you are asking of us is to abandon all previous lessons of history in favor of following you blindly into the future. It worries me because with all your best intentions, an enormous economic surplus has been squandered. Your administration has virtually dismissed the most fundamental environmental concerns and therefore, by implication, one gets the message that, as you seem to be willing to sacrifice the children of the world, would you also be willing to sacrifice ours.
 * Sean Penn's Open Letter to the President of the United States of America (G.W.Bush), which ran as an advertisement in the Washington Post on October 18, 2002 & republished in the Afterword of Norman Solomon's  Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn't Tell  You, p.118  (2003)

 * Thank you. If there's one thing that actors know, other than that there weren't any WMDs, it's that there is no such thing as best in acting. And That's proven by these great actors that I was nominated with as well as the — as well as the Giamattis, Cages, Downey Jrs., Nicholsons, etc. that were not nominated. We know how great all of you were. My daughter Dylan and son Hopper find it presumptuous and embarrassing to write a speech, and so I'm gonna give it a go without. God, I really thank Clint Eastwood professionally and humanly for coming into my life. The great, great cast that I had to work with, my friends. Where do you go? Dennis Lehane, Brian Helgeland, Ma. Dad. Robin, for being an undying emotional inspiration on this rollercoaster I'm learning to enjoy. Thank you all very much.
 * Oscar acceptance speech for Mystic River, 76th Annual Academy Awards - Best Actor in a Leading Role (2004-02-29)

 * You and your smarmy pundits — and the smarmy pundits you have in your pocket — can take your war and shove it. Let's unite not only in stopping this war, but in holding this administration accountable. Let's make this crystal clear: We do support our troops, but not the exploitation of them and their families. The money that's spent on this war would be better spent on building levees in New Orleans and health care in Africa and care for our veterans. Iraq is not our toilet. It's a country of human beings whose lives that were once oppressed by Saddam are now in Dante's Inferno.

 * When you have a precedent set like that, and you have somebody, George Tenet, acknowledging in his book that he knew that the administration was deceiving the American people into a situation that is murdering young men and women from this country and others, that George Tenet and Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice and George Bush, et al., should be in fucking jail.
 * On Real Time with Bill Maher (2007-05-18)

 * Thank you, you Commie, homo-loving sons of guns.
 * Acceptance speech for the Best Actor award at the 81st Academy Awards ceremony (2009-02-22)

 * Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it. And this is mainstream media. There should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.
 * Referring to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, in an appearance on the HBO show Real time with Bill Maher (March, 2010)

Sally Field

Sally Margaret Field Mahoney (born November 6, 1946) is an American actress who is a two-time Academy Award, a two-time Golden Globe winner and a three-time Emmy Award winner, who became a household name at the age of 16, as the titular character in Gidget (1965-66), and later as Sister Bertrille in the sitcom, The Flying Nun (1967-70).

Quotes

 * I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!
 * Said during Field's Oscar acceptance speech for Best Actress in 1984's Places in the Heart
 * Often misquoted as "You like me, you really like me!"
 * The misquote was echoed by Sean Penn in his 1996 acceptance of the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead in Dead Man Walking as, "You tolerate me. You really tolerate me!"

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

 * Written and directed by Ralph Bakshi.

Ralph Bakshi, creator of "Fritz the Cat" and "Heavy Traffic" brings you the outrageous '50s the way they really were. Taglines

Quotes

 * Crazy Shapiro: [After learning that Vinnie is waiting for Roz.] It's Roz! It's Roz! It's Roz! It's Roz!
 * Vinnie: [After finding out that the two girls he and Crazy picked up in a bar are prostitutes.] Well, listen, Ms. Movie star - Vinnie doesn't pay for it. OK? Vinnie NEVER pays for it.
 * Eva: [Watching Vinnie and Crazy fight each other.] Here I am right in the middle of it - defiant youth in action!
 * Old Vinnie: [Imagines walking out the door after meeting up with Roz in the present time.] If there was one thing we learned back then that's still true now, it's that if you turn a woman upside down, they all look alike. So why bother?

Dialogue

 * Crazy Shapiro: When I'm up on the roof, it's like nothing can touch me. You know, it's all so quiet and beautiful, with the whole city right out in front of my eyes. Some nights I just feel like painting a picture.
 * Vinnie: Hey, Norman Rockwell - paint me a picture.
 * Crazy Shapiro: I didn't say I painted. I said I "felt like" like it.

Execution of Saddam Hussein

Following the execution of Saddam Hussein, leaders around the world issued statements, expressing various sentiments and opinions on the death penalty.

Americas

 * The (Brazilian) government does not believe carrying out this sentence will contribute to bringing peace to Iraq"''. — Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Brazil
 * Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Brazil, Hussein execution: World reaction CNN. 30 December 2006.

 * joined other countries in wishing a peaceful and prosperous future for Iraq.
 * Spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, Reactions to the antipodes Radio Canada 30 December 2006

 * For reasons of principles the execution of ex-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and concern for the country's stability.
 * Alberto Van Klaveren Chancellor of Chile

 * He deserved the maximum sentence in his country and was guilty of genocide for using chemical weapons against other peoples for their religion or their racial origin. However, García disagreed with the fact that the trial was made in an occupied country. I don’t know if he was hanged for his crimes or just by the occupying forces.
 * Alan García, President of Peru

 * Bringing Saddam Hussein to justice will not end the violence in Iraq, but it is an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain, and defend itself.
 * George W. Bush,

Africa

 * Libya: Libyan declared 3 days mourning and cancelled public celebrations around the Eid religious holiday, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said that Saddam Hussein was a prisoner of war held by the US occupation forces, and as such should have been tried in the US or Britain, rather than in an Iraqi puppet regime's kangaroo court.

Asia

 * The execution of the former Iraqi president is the work of Iraq's government. We wish the Iraqi people prosperity, happiness and success. Eid is the day of happiness, the day of goodness, the day of reconciliation, not the day of revenge.
 * Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai

 * Cambodia, still struggling to begin its own long-delayed trials for atrocities committed in the 1970s by the genocidal Khmer Rouge, said the execution should not have taken place. "Democracy has grown very much in Iraq, but in the end the death penalty still exists," information minister Khieu Kanharith said. "We do not support it because we have already abolished capital punishment. So we do not support the death penalty, but we support the process of finding justice for the people.
 * Khieu Kanharith, Information minister

 * China said Iraqi people should decide their affairs and hoped that the strife-torn nation can realize stability and development soon.
 *

 * India: "We had already expressed the hope that the execution would not be carried out. We are disappointed that it has been." – Minister of external affairs Pranab Mukherjee.
 * Indian National Congress, the Communist Party of India and the Samajwadi Party condemned the execution.
 * K. Subrahmanyam, Head of the Indian government's task force on global strategic developments, attributed the Government's official reaction to "short-sighted vote bank politics" and said that the execution "was by an Iraqi court for an Iraqi crime - for killing Iraqi Shias."
 * "Saddam deserved nothing less than death. The hanging should be seen as a victory for justice." — Mirza Mohammad Athar, President of the All India Shia Personal Law Board.

 * Indonesia: The government in the world's largest Muslim nation, Indonesia, said it hoped Saddam's execution "will not further separate conflicting parties in the effort toward a national reconciliation, which is a precondition in recovering Iraqi sovereignty."
 * Fauzan Al Anshori, from the Islamic group of Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia, said Bush, too, should stand trial. "Given the crime blamed on Saddam, it is unfair if George Bush is not also put on an international tribunal," he said. "Saddam was executed for killings 148 people, Shiite Muslims, while Bush is responsible for the killing of about 600,000 Iraqis since the March 2003 invasion."

 * With regard to Saddam's execution, it amounts to a victory of the Iraqi people as they were the winners of his fall [...] Saddam's regime was overthrown because the Iraqi people did not support him. It is crystal clear that the United States should not misinterpret his fall and take the credit to itself. [...] Investigation into the Iraqi invasion in Iran (1980-1988) and in Kuwait (1990) could have disclosed the US involvement in Saddam's crimes and therefore the Americans preferred to close the case earlier.
 * Hamid-Reza Assefi, Iranian Minstry of Foreign Affairs Deputy Foreign Minister Hamid Reza Asefi.

 * Israel: "Saddam Hussein brought about his own demise. This was a man who caused a great deal of harm to his people and who was a major threat to Israel," said Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres.

 * Japan: "We have acknowledged that the judgment has been made according to due process and pay respect to the legal procedures that the Iraqi government has taken. That said, what is most important in our view is to make this sentence not a new source of conflict but of reconciliation between the Iraqi people." — Foreign Ministry Spokesman Tomohiko Taniguchi

 * Malaysia: "The international community is not in favour of the hanging and questions the due process that took place. We are surprised that the hanging went ahead notwithstanding. I think there will be repercussions. This is not the answer" - Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar Former Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad said "On the Holy day of Eid, the world watched in horror at the barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, allegedly for crimes against humanity. This public murder was sanctioned by the War Criminals, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair."

 * Pakistan: Pakistan's Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz termed execution of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein a "sad incident" and hoped the security situation in the country would not be further exacerbated.

 * We have no sympathy with Saddam Hussein, but we will also say that he did not get justice. The execution of Saddam Hussein will further destabilize Iraq. There will be more sectarian violence in Iraq, and we believe that the execution of Saddam Hussein is part of the American plan to disintegrate Iraq.
 * Liaqat Baloch Leader of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal

 * Palestinian Authority: In the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the execution of Saddam Hussein sent many Palestinians into mourning. Palestinians struggled to come to terms with the demise of their steadfast ally. In the West Bank town of Bethlehem locals opened a house of condolence, where dozens of people gathered to mourn Saddam. The organizers hung Iraqi flags, pictures of Hussein and played Iraqi revolutionary songs.
 * Palestinian Authority,

 * The ruling Hamas movement in the Palestinian territories called the execution of Saddam a "political assassination." A Hamas spokesman, Fawzi Barhum, said, "Saddam Hussein was a prisoner of war. [The] hanging … is a political assassination that violates all international laws that are supposed to protect prisoners of war.
 * Hamas

 * In Sri Lanka, a Muslim government minister also condemned the execution for offending Muslims around the start of Eid al-Adha. "As a Muslim, I feel the execution could have been avoided," said Hussein Bhaila, who declined to comment on the judgment against the former dictator. **Muslim government minster,

 * Thailand: Kitti Wasinondh, a spokesman at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said, "We are optimistic that it will not lead to any further violence." Former Thai Foreign Minister Surin Pitsuwan, a Muslim who served under the Democrat Party, said he expected the execution would increase tension in the war on terror because of Saddam's many followers.

 * It is impossible to understand the rejoice of those who put pressure on every country, including Turkey, for years to abolish death sentence.
 * Deniz Baykal leader of the Republican People's Party

Europe

 * European Union:European Commissioner for Development Aid Louis Michel stated that the execution of Saddam Hussein is against the fundamental principles of the European Union. The EU is against the death penalty, whatever are the crimes committed. "It is not a big day for democracy," Michel stated to the RTBF. "The EU is in fierce opposition to the death penalty and there is no exception to that fundamental principle. Cruelty is not to be answered with cruelty. I believe that there were other possible means to revenge the cruelties committed by Saddam. The death penalty is not the right answer." He fears that the execution of Saddam has a negative impact and that the former dictator will emerge as a martyr. "You don't fight barbarism with acts that I deem as barbaric. The death penalty is not compatible with democracy," he told Reuters.

 * Austria has always campaigned against the impunity of people in the highest positions of political responsibility and supports the effort for an effective international penal jurisdiction. At the same time Austria rejects the death penalty as a matter of principle and stands for its worldwide abolition. This applies without exception and cruelty of the committed crime. Saddam Hussein's guilt in oppressing his own people, the assassination of political enemies and innocent civilians is undoubtedly documented. However, Austria's stance against the death penalty also applies in this case.
 * Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Press Release
 * Belgium: The Belgian Foreign Minister, Karel De Gucht, repeated his objection to the execution and death penalty in general. He also expressed the hope that the violence in Iraq would come to an end, now that the personification of the cruel regime had died.

 * Czech Republic: The Czech Foreign Ministry has welcomed the execution of the former dictator of Iraq Saddam Hussein. In a statement the Ministry said his death was an important historic milestone and represented at least partial satisfaction for the families of Saddam's victims. In the short term his killing could cause instability in Iraq, but in the long term the end of the era of Saddam Hussein will move the country closer to stability and democracy, it said. Though the death penalty contradicts European values his execution should be looked at from the perspective of Iraq today, said the Foreign Ministry.

 * Denmark: The Danish Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said that Denmark condemned the actions of Saddam Hussein, but did not support the capital punishment. "This has been pointed out to the Iraqi government on several occasions and this is also the reason we have not aided the Iraqi Special Tribunal against him," he said in a statement. Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller said to Danish television that he would rather seen that Saddam Hussein had been tried at an international tribunal.

 * Even if there are no doubts that Saddam Hussein is guilty of very serious crimes against humanity, very serious comments have been made about the court process in Iraq.
 * Erkki Tuomioja, Finnish Minister of Foreign Affairs,

 * France calls upon all Iraqis to look towards the future and work towards reconciliation and national unity. Now more than ever, the objective should be a return to full sovereignty and stability in Iraq. France, which like the rest of its European partners advocates the universal abolition of capital punishment, notes the execution of Saddam Hussein on Saturday. That decision was made by the people and the sovereign authorities of Iraq." — French Foreign Ministry

 * "Saddam Hussein was sentenced by an Iraqi court, and this verdict has been executed. We do respect this verdict. However, it is known, that the Federal Government of Germany is against capital punishment. On a day like this, my thoughts are foremost with the many innocent victims of Saddam Hussein. I do wish for the Iraqi people that it will find its way without violence and in peace." — German chancellor Angela Merkel

 * "As known, Greece, together with all member states of the European Union, has abolished the death penalty. The execution of dictator Saddam Hussein is one more dramatic moment added to the troubled history of Iraq. We hope that it is the last.

Dora Bakoyannis, Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs

 * Ireland: "We have to accept the right of the Iraqi judiciary to hand down a sentence. Ireland however, in common with its EU partners, does not approve of capital punishment.

 * Italy: "Italy is against the death penalty and so even in such a dramatic case as Saddam Hussein, we still think that the death penalty must not be put into action." - Prime Minister Romano Prodi

 * Norway: The Norwegian foreign minister Jonas Gahr Støre stated in a press release that "It is important that the former dictator of Iraq was brought before a court and sentenced for some of his crimes against humanity". However, "Norway opposes the use of the death penalty in principle, and therefore regrets the execution of Saddam Hussein. The execution does not solve Iraq’s political problems, including the serious security situation."

 * Poland: "Justice has been meted out to a criminal who murdered thousands of people in Iraq (..)", "This should serve as a warning to all those who would like to follow in Saddam Hussein's footsteps." President Lech Kaczyński spokesman

 * Portugal: "The Portuguese Government reaffirms its total opposition to death penalty in all cases and circumstances."

 * Russia: "Regrettably, repeated calls by representatives of various nations and international organizations to the Iraqi authorities to refrain from capital punishment were not heard. Saddam Hussein's execution can lead to further aggravation of the military and political situation and the growth of ethnic and confessional tensions." — Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin

 * Serbia: "We have seen that the situation in Iraq is chaotic. I am afraid this might cause even worse consequences. Serbia strongly objects to the death penalty.

 * I welcome the fact that Saddam Hussein has been tried by an Iraqi court for at least some of the appalling crimes he committed against the Iraqi people. He has now been held to account [...] The British government does not support the use of the death penalty, in Iraq or anywhere else [...] We have made our position very clear to the Iraqi authorities, but we respect their decision as that of a sovereign nation.
 * Margaret Beckett Secretary of Foreign Secretary

 * "An execution is always tragic news, reason for sadness, even in the case of a person who is guilty of grave crimes." - Holy See spokesperson Federico Lombardi. "[The execution punishes] a crime with another crime...The death penalty is not a natural death. And no one can give death, not even the state." - Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.

Oceania

 * I believe there is something quite heroic about a country that is going through the pain and the suffering that Iraq is going through, yet still extends due process to somebody who was a tyrant and brutal suppressor and murderer of his people. That is the mark of a country that is trying against fearful odds to embrace democracy.
 * John Howard, Prime Minster of Australia

 * The people of Iraq now know that their brutal dictator will never come back to lead them. While many will continue to grieve over their personal loss under his rule, his death marks an important step in consigning his tyrannical regime to the judgment of history and pursuing a process of reconciliation now and in the future.
 * Alexander Downer Minster for Foreign Affairs

 * Labor has a universal position of opposition to the death penalty both at home and abroad. .. It is not possible in our view to be selective in the application of this policy.
 * Kevin Rudd, Leader of the Labor Party,

 * New Zealand does not support the death penalty as a matter of principle. We acknowledge, however, that Saddam Hussein’s execution occurred within the framework of Iraqi law, and as a response to his crimes against humanity. New Zealand regarded the guilty verdict as appropriate. The task now is for the people of Iraq to look forward and work for a stable unified Iraqi nation.
 * Trevor Mallard, Duty Minster of New Zealand,
