 * Dominant Species
 * The problem with conformists will always be that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system. It's the system that will eventually change you
 * The Poverty of Philosophy
 * I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately try to be something I'm really not, just to fit in. And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.
 * The Poverty of Philosophy
 * Remember this revolution is born out of love for my people not hatred for others.
 * The Poverty of Philosophy

Revolutionary Vol. 2 (2003)

 * This is about you though, it ain't about Jesus / and you shouldn't fucking talk about telekinesis / nigga please, moving shit with your mind? / try moving ya moms out the projects with your rhymes
 * Crossing the Boundary
 * I never make songs to disrespect women / or to judge people about the way that they're living / but the way I am is based on the life I was given / Like those white boys "Losing My Religion"
 * Crossing the Boundary
 * Working your whole life wondering where the day went, the subway stays packed like a multicultural slaveship. It's rushhour 2.30 to 8 non-stoppin and people coming home after corporate sharecropping.
 * Harlem Streets
 * Mothers are trying to feed children / But gentrification is kicking them out of their building / A generation of babies born without health care / Families homeless, thrown the fuck off of welfare
 * Homicide Harlem blam! what's tha problem?
 * Harlem Streets
 * But you can't read history at an illiterate stage / And you can't raise a family on minimum wage
 * Harlem Streets
 * The odds are stacked against us like a casino / Think about it, most of the army is black and latino / And if you can't acknowledge the reality of my words / You just another stupid mother fucker out on the curb / Trying to escape from the ghetto with your ignorant ways / But you can't read history at an illiterate stage / And you can't raise a family on minimum wage / Why the fuck you think / most of us are locked in a cage.
 * Harlem Streets
 * They vote for us to go to war instantly, but none of their kids serve in the infantry.
 * Harlem Streets
 * If you go platinum it's got nothin' to do with luck / it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck
 * Industrial Revolution
 * The bling-bling era was cute, but it's about to be done. I leave you full eclipse (of clips) like the moon blocking the sun.
 * Industrial Revolution
 * My metaphors are dirty like herpes, but harder to catch, like an escape tunnel in prison I started from scratch.
 * Industrial Revolution
 * The things I've seen in life will make you choke by surprise / like an aborted fetus in a jar that opened its eyes
 * Internally Bleeding
 * That'll never be me, cause I'm leaving the past, like an abused wife with the kids, leaving yo' ass, like a drug addict, clean and sober, leaving the stash, unbreakable Technique, leaving the plane crash
 * Leaving the Past
 * You can make the future, but it starts with leaving the past
 * Leaving the Past
 * I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be, as if our people's history started with slavery.
 * Leaving the Past
 * Hell is not a place you go, if you ain't a christian, it's the failure, of your life's greatest ambition.
 * Leaving the Past
 * Let's face it, you're basic, you aren't half the man that I am I'll throw your gang sign up, and then I'll spit on my hand Give me a hundred grand, give me your watch, give me your chain That's your girl, bitch get over here, give me some brain I'll bust off on her face, and right after the segment She'll probably rub it in her pussy, trying to get herself pregnant
 * Obnoxious
 * Revolution is the birth to equality and the antithesis to oppression.
 * One (Remix)
 * But you know what the fuck I think is just pathetic and gay? When niggaz speculate what the fuck 'Pac would say. You don't know shit about a dead man's perspective and talking shit will get your neckbone disconnected, disrespected. Niggaz don't show no love, why you trying to be hardcore? you fucking homo-thug. And don't be sensitive and angry at the shit that I wrote, cuz if you can take a fucking dick, you can take a joke.
 * Obnoxious
 * The voice of racism preaching the Gospel is devilish. A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist, for "getting God" is not religion, but a spiritual bond and Jesus is the most-quoted prophet in the Qur'an.
 * The 4th Branch
 * They bombed innocent people trying to murder Saddam When they gave 'em those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran This is the information they hold back from Peter Jennings 'cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new-age Sally Hemmings.
 * The 4th Branch
 * How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave.. indigenous holocaust and the home of the slaves. Corporate America dancing offbeat to the rhythm. You really think this country never sponsored terrorism? Human rights violations we continue the saga, El Salvador and the Contras in Nicaragua. And on top of that you still want to take me to prison, just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism.
 * The 4th Branch
 * We don't get weapons contracts, nigga / We don't get cheap labor for our company, nigga / We ARE cheap labour, nigga / Turn off the news and read, nigga / read...
 * The 4th Branch
 * A bandana full of glittering generality, 'fighting for freedom' and 'fighting terror', but what's reality? Martial law is coming soon to the hood to kill you, while you hanging your flag out your project window.
 * The 4th Branch
 * I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black / The way the government downplays historical facts / 'Cuz the United States sponsored the rise of the Third Reich / Just like the CIA trained terrorists to the fight / Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight
 * The Cause of Death
 * The devil crept into heaven, God overslept on the seventh, the new world order was born on September 11th.
 * The Cause of Death
 * And just so conservatives don't take it to heart, I don't think Bush did it, Cuz he isn't that smart.
 * The Cause of Death
 * And as a matter of fact Rumsfeld, Now that I think back, Without 9/11 you couldn't have a war in Iraq.
 * The Cause of Death
 * When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic. But I refused the offer, 'cuz God sent me to strike, with skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke.
 * The Cause of Death
 * And Dick Cheney, you fuckin leech, tell them your plans. About building your pipelines through Afghanistan. And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan.
 * The Cause of Death
 * You better watch what the fuck flies outta your mouth / Or I'm a hijack a plane and fly it into your house.
 * The Cause of Death
 * Mothafucka's made me out of self-righteous hatred. And now you got yourself a virus, stuck in the matrix.  A suicide bomber, strapped up ready to blow, lethal injection, strapped down, ready to go.  Don't you understand they'll never let me live out in peace?  Concrete jungle, guerrilla war out in the streets.  Nat Turner with the sickle, pitchfork and machete.  The end of the world, mothafucka, you not ready.  My people are so hungry they'll attack without reason, like a fucking dog ripping off the hand that feeds him.  Immortal Technique is treason to the Patriot Act, so come and get me muthafucka, cause I'm not coming back.
 * The Point of No Return
 * Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal, this is the last time I kneel and pray to the sky, cause almost everything I was ever told was a lie
 * The Point of No Return
 * The kingdoms of Africa, and Mesopotamia, machine gunning your body with depleted uranium, this is the age of microchips and titanium, the dark side of the moon, and contact with aliens
 * The Point of No Return
 * This is the point from which I can never return, and if I back down now then forever I burn. This is the point from which I can never retreat cause if I turn back now there can never be peace.  This is the point from which I will die or succeed, living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed.  From now on it can never be the same as before, cause the place that I'm from doesn't exist any more
 * The Point of No Return

The 3rd World (2008)

 * They call us terrorists after they ruined our countries.
 * Death March
 * And that's not socialist mythology, This is urban warfare, to the streets of your psychology.
 * Death March
 * What Good is a good education with no direction like the right to vote with no one to vote for in an election
 * That's what It Is
 * And they might even have a black president but he’s useless, Cause he does not control the economy stupid
 * The 3rd World
 * And it’s amazing how they trained them, To be racist against themselves in the place they was raised in, You kept us caged in, Destroyed our culture and said that you civilized us, Raped our women and when we were born, you despised us, Gentrified us, agent provocateur divide us, And crucified every revolutionary messiah
 * The 3rd World
 * Cause jail culture didn't give you that fitted hat To memorize a ghostwritten shit verse and spit it back
 * Hollywood Driveby
 * Show me a pretty girl with the world stuck to her and i'll bet you there's a brother that's tired of fuckin' her. lots of nigga's girls is someone else's one-night stand
 * Reverse Pimpology
 * Most people are only players cause they got played, and have not let go of that shit since the seventh grade
 * Reverse Pimpology
 * Yeah you got your heart broke, life sucks doesn't it? but you shouldn't fuck up someone else's life because of it. someone did your mother like that, that's why you fatherless.
 * Reverse Pimpology
 * I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot: and blames it on acid, prozac and slipknot
 * Reverse Pimpology
 * They say underground fans are all the color of Talcum, who the fuck you think buy 50 and Jay albums, who the fuck you think made Snoop and Dre platinum, call up any major record label and ask 'em
 * "Reverse Pimopology"
 * We were promised a better life in our home countries when we were told that privatized water and electricity would make things run more efficiently instead the quality remained almost the same and the price was increased until it became an unaffordable luxury
 * Open Your Eyes
 * The first payback that i would accomplish: i'd draft children from the senate and congress
 * Payback
 * I'd give a last name to every single son of a whore
 * Payback
 * Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them, Others try to block the memories and just delete them
 * Mistakes
 * How the fuck are you my dawg when there's no loyalty?
 * Mistakes
 * But if you on stage with the DEA, as your hype man, don't get yourself locked up and blame the white man.
 * Out on parole
 * i pray inside of me that one day you can be forgiven: For murdering the beautiful world in we used to live in
 * Crimes Of The Heart
 * Lost in the affection of strangers around you Instead of the lonely person who ever gave a fuck about you Thought you were happy, so you didn't come check me But then when he cheated or treated you incorrectly You conveniently realized that you could never forget me
 * Crimes Of The Heart
 * Cause the heart that betrays itself willingly Is like a nation that trades freedom for stability
 * Crimes Of The Heart
 * But liberty, to be loved on the surface is worthless
 * Crimes Of The Heart
 * I'm like the legs of a paraplegic really? Cuz I'm still part of you even if you cant feel me.
 * "Death March:

, 2011

 * A toast to the dead, for children with cancer and AIDS; a cure exists, and you probably could have been saved.
 * "A Toast to the Dead"

Singles

 * They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam but that's bullshit. I'll tell you why it's totally wrong.  Because if another country invaded the hood tonight it would be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights.  I wouldn't be fighting for Bush or white America's dream.  I'd be fighting for my people's survival and self esteem.
 * Bin Laden (2005)
 * I pledge no allegiance / Fuck the president's speeches / I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches
 * Bin Laden (2005)
 * This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians. Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in
 * Bin Laden (2005)

 * Excuse me. Thank you all for coming. I'm Donald Sinclair, I own this hotel. We don't have much time. There's a meteor the size of North Carolina heading straight for Earth. The impact is going to kill every thing and everyone on this planet. I built a bunker in the basement to this casino strong enough to withstand the blast. There's room enough for eight people. I have chosen the seven of you, plus me. When this is over, it'll be up to us to repopulate and re-civilize the planet. [Everyone looks shocked for about five seconds, before Sinclair begins laughing hysterically] I'm sorry. I couldn't resist!
 * You haven't missed much, we're just cutting to the chase [Chuckles] "Cutting to the chase" [Laughs hysterically, then sees everyone else is silent] Eh, you'll all laugh later.
 * Now, as you all know, the odds of winning the state lottery or a jackpot at one of our casinos are astronomical, I mean, millions-to-one; the average sensible person doesn't even bother.

 * [to Owen] I can do anything I want Nick. I'm eccentric! [growls like a tiger] Go!

Others

 * Hotel Clerk: It's not a record, sir.
 * Nick Schaffer: It... It's a delete.
 * Hotel Clerk: Okay, fine. How many times did you watch it?
 * Nick Schaffer: Uh, none! I didn't watch it!
 * Hotel Clerk: Are you sure? "Sizzling, three-way, backdoor action featuring two sexy soul sisters...”
 * Nick Schaffer: No, I don't need to know what it's about! I did not watch it! [hotel clerk raises her eyebrows] I didn't!

 * [Duane and Blaine Cody walk up to the top of a flight of stairs, Duane places a glass on the ground]
 * Duane Cody: Okay, see that shot glass? Walk across the lobby, slip on the glass, let gravity do the rest.
 * Blaine Cody: I-ight 'eak y eck!
 * Duane Cody: It's true, you could break your neck, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
 * Blaine Cody: Hy ont u oo it?
 * Duane Cody: Because, Einstein, one of us needs to be the victim and one of us needs to be the witness! What kind of witness would you make? I'm your own brother, I don't know what the hell you're saying. How's your tongue, let me see.
 * [Blaine opens his mouth, showing a blackened tongue with a stud in it; Duane cringes]
 * Blaine Cody: Ows it ook?
 * Duane Cody: ...It looks good, getting better.

 * Randy Pear: [seeing Blaine's infected tongue] Oh my God! You ought to sue somebody!
 * Blaine Cody: Ay id it y-elf!
 * Randy Pear: What?
 * Duane Cody: He said he did it himself. Sent away for a kit.

 * Donald Sinclair: [after explaining the game] The first one there, keeps it all! Oh, by the way, I put little tracking devices on your key rings so I'll always know where you are and...that's it! Go.

 * Donald Sinclair: There's only one rule. Are you ready? Here it is: There are, no rules! Go! [Nobody moves] Go!!
 * Merrill: So, when you say "go", you mean, just go?
 * Donald Sinclair: Uh, begin, commence, start moving, [looks at his watch] theoretically you have been racing for about forty-five seconds now, and so far Mr. Schaffer is winning because he's nearest to the door.
 * [Everyone continues staring at Sinclair, visibly confused. Finally, he sighs in frustration, pulls out a revolver, and fires it into the ceiling.]

 * [In the initial stage of the race, everyone, with the exception of Nick and Enrico, try to beat each other down the stairs and fall over one another into a pile on a landing]
 * Owen: Hey, wait-wait-wait! Wait! This is crazy! Listen, if we're all going to go for it, why don't we go for it together? You know, split the money fifty-fifty?
 * Blaine Cody: Fifay-fifay?
 * Owen: Oh, you know what I mean. Fifty-fifty; whatever!
 * Vera: Yes, yes, that's a good plan.
 * Enrico: [Running down the stairs] It's a race! It's a race! [Goes past everyone on the landing] I am winning! I am winning!
 * [After a pause, everyone runs after him]

 * Kimberly Pear: Dad, I'm prairie-dogging it!!
 * Randy Pear: What the hell does that mean?
 * Jason Pear: You know, like when a prairie dog sticks his head in and out of the ground.
 * Randy Pear: Oh...Oh, God, I do not want to picture that!

 * Randy Pear: That's Hitler's harmonica; you can't play Hitler's harmonica.
 * Jason Pear: Well, you're driving his car.
 * Randy Pear: Yeah, but I'm not touching it with my mouth! I'm not sucking on the dashboard! I'm not getting his germs!

 * Vicki: So, what can I do for you, Harry?
 * Harold Grisham: Okay... here's what I want. First... we both get naked.

Louis de Broglie

Louis de Broglie (15 August 1892 – 19 March 1987) was a French physicist became a Nobel laureate in 1929 for his theory on wave–particle duality.

Quotes

 * It seems a little paradoxical to construct a configuration space with the coordinates of points which do not exist.
 * La nouvelle dynamique des quanta (1928), translation by

 * The history of science shows that the progress of science has constantly been hampered by the tyrannical influence of certain conceptions that finally came to be considered as dogma. For this reason, it is proper to submit periodically to a very searching examination, principles that we have come to assume without any more discussion.
 * Will Quantum Physics Remain Indeterministic, in

 * Two seemingly incompatible conceptions can each represent an aspect of the truth … They may serve in turn to represent the facts without ever entering into direct conflict.
 * Dialectica, Vol. 2, No. 3/4 (1948), p. 326.

 * The actual state of our knowledge is always provisional and … there must be, beyond what is actually known, immense new regions to discover.
 * Foreword of book by

 * Admettant que la particule possède une vibration interne qui permet de l'assimiler à une petite horloge, je supposais que cette horloge se déplaçait dans son onde de façon que sa vibration interne reste constamment en phase avec celle de l'onde : c'est le postulat de l'accord des phases.
 * Assuming that the particle has an internal vibration which allows to assimilate it to a small clock, I supposed that the clock was traveling with the wave in such a way that its internal vibration remained constantly in phase with the wave's : this is the phase matching postulate.

Warren Girard Ellis (born 16 February 1968) is a British comic-book writer, novelist, and screenwriter.

 * See also: Transmetropolitan

Quotes

 * A million fucking message boards, email, Twitter, any number of free tools, being limited only by time and your imagination? If I’d had the internet in 1988 I WOULD OWN AN ENTIRE COUNTRY BY NOW AND WOULD PUT HUNDREDS OF YOU TO DEATH EACH DAY JUST FOR FUN AND IT WOULD BE THE LAW
 * Warren Ellis In Warren Ellis.com, entry 7955 comment 298257

 * (On Timothy McVeigh references) In terms of DOKTOR SLEEPLESS (I don't remember much of TRANSMET), it's just a nod to how quickly we assimilate our monsters. How many years was it between Charlie Manson being the terror of California and Charlie Manson being an image on joke t-shirts? I have a shirt somewhere with a pic of his face and, underneath it, the words CHARLIE DON'T SURF. Hitler's a cartoon figure now. Eminem dressed up as bin Laden within a couple of years of 9/11. It's interesting to me how we defang our nightmares -- by mocking them, but also by wearing their skins.

Talk:Wayne's World (film)

big mess
anyone who wants to take a crack at all this stuff feel free. I loped it over from a weird entry called WANYES WORLD and forwarded that page here (i think, i'm still new to this whole thing). I only found that page playing with random. A lot of the quotes are obviously doubles and the selection from the second source (with all the &lt BR /&gt 's in it) is probably a bit larger than necessary, especially considering the quantity of quotes that are just flat out bunches of dialog. I may get around to doing this myself eventually either way. jeremy

First time in Milwaukee
When Wayne and Garth first get to Mi-lee-wah-que (thank you Alice), what's the quote when they're skipping down the side walk like in that one show that I don't know the name of, then they proceed to do part of the show's intro. Finally, one of them goes "Wait, what are we doing? We have backstage passes to Alice Cooper!"

Anyone? Anyone at all?

It's from Lavern and Shirley. (sp?)

Quotes

Been so long I felt this way, I'm in no hurry, no.''' Rainbows end down that highway where ocean breezes blow My time coming, voices saying, they tell me where to go. Don't worry 'bout me, no no, don't worry 'bout me, no And I'm in no hurry, no no no, I know where to go. California, preaching on the burning shore California, I'll be knocking on the golden door '''Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light Rising up to paradise, I know I'm going to shine.'
 * 'My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no
 * "Estimated Prophet" on the Grateful Dead album Terrapin Station (1977); lyrics by Barlow, music by Bob Weir · Grateful Dead performance at Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ (27 April 1977) · JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, PA (7 July 1989)

 * Everyone seems to be playing well within the boundaries of his usual rule set. I have yet to hear anyone say something that seemed likely to mitigate the idiocy of this age.
 * On The International Summit on Democracy, Terrorism, and Security - Personal blog from Madrid, Spain (10 March 2005)

 * Imagine discovering a continent so vast that it may have no end to its dimensions. Imagine a new world with more resources than all our future greed might exhaust, more opportunities than there will ever be entrepreneurs enough to exploit, and a peculiar kind of real estate that expands with development. Imagine a place where trespassers leave no footprints, where goods can be stolen infinite number of times and yet remain in the possession of their original owners, where business you never heard of can own the history of your personal affairs...
 * As quoted in Who Controls the Internet? : Illusions of a Borderless World (2006) by Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu

 * The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops.
 * Twitter comments, in regard to WikiLeaks controversies, as quoted in "Analysis: WikiLeaks battle: a new amateur face of cyber war?" at Reuters (9 December 2010)

 * I support freedom of expression, no matter whose, so I oppose DDoS attacks regardless of their target... they're the poison gas of cyberspace.

The Death of Cynthia Horner (1994)

 * Thoughts on the life and death of his fiancée (April 1994)

 * It didn't matter what we did or where we did it as long as we were together. We knew we'd found what most people either pursue in years of futile search or dismiss as a fantasy at the outset: the missing half of ourselves. The real thing.

 * I don't know that I believe in the supernatural, but I do believe in miracles, and our time together was filled with the events of magical unlikelihood. I also believe that angels, or something like them, sometimes live among us, hidden within our fellow human beings. I'm convinced that such an angel dwelled in Cynthia. I felt this presence often in Cynthia's lightness of being, in her decency, her tolerance, her incredible love. I never heard Cynthia speak ill of anyone nor did I ever hear anyone speak ill of her. She gave joy and solace to all who met her.

 * With a care both conscious and reverential, Cynthia and I built a love which I believe inspired most who came near it. We felt it was our gift to the world. We wanted to show the hesitant the miracle that comes when two people give their hearts unconditionally, honestly, fearlessly, and without reservation or judgement. We wanted to make our union into a message of hope, and I believe we did, even though we knew that hearts opened so freely can be shattered if something should go wrong. As my heart is shattered now.

 * Among the waves of tragedy which have crashed on me with her death is a terror that our message of hope has been changed into a dreadful warning. But I must tell you that had I known in the beginning that I would be here today doing this terrible thing, I would still have loved her as unhesitatingly, because true love is worth any price one is asked to pay. The other message we wished to convey was one of faith in the essential goodness and purpose of life. I have always felt that no matter how inscrutable its ways and means, the universe is working perfectly and working according to a greater plan than we can know.

A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996)

 * A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996) · online at EFF · online at Wikisource

 * Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather. We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear. Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders.

 * You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many of these problems don't exist. Where there are real conflicts, where there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means. We are forming our own Social Contract. This governance will arise according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is different. Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live. We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth. We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity. Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are all based on matter, and there is no matter here.

 * Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron. In our world, whatever the human mind may create can be reproduced and distributed infinitely at no cost. The global conveyance of thought no longer requires your factories to accomplish. These increasingly hostile and colonial measures place us in the same position as those previous lovers of freedom and self-determination who had to reject the authorities of distant, uninformed powers. We must declare our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the Planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts. We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.

John Perry Barlow 2.0 (2004)

 * "John Perry Barlow 2.0", interview by Brian Doherty in ReasonOnline (August 2004)

 * Copyright and intellectual property are the most important issues now. If you don't have something that assures fair use, then you don't have a free society. If all ideas have to be bought, then you have an intellectually regressive system that will assure you have a highly knowledgeable elite and an ignorant mass.

The other medium, TV, has a much smaller share of viewers than at any time in the past, but those viewers get all their information there. '''They get turned into a very uniform belief block. TV in America created the most coherent reality distortion field that I’ve ever seen.''' Therein is the problem: People who vote watch TV, and they are hallucinating like a sonofabitch. Basically, what we have in this country is government by hallucinating mob.
 * You now have two distinct ways of gathering information beyond what you yourself can experience. One of them is less a medium than an environment — the Internet — with a huge multiplicity of points of view, lots of different ways to find out what's going on in the world. Lots of people are tuned to that, and a million points of view have bloomed. It creates a cacophony of viewpoints that doesn't have any political coherence at all, a beautiful melee, but it doesn't have the capacity to create large blocs of belief.

 * It’s a perfect set of circumstances to give us the time Yeats foretold, with the best having lost all conviction and the worst full of passionate intensity. I’m an optimist. In order to be libertarian, you have to be an optimist. You have to have a benign view of human nature, to believe that human beings left to their own devices are basically good. But I’m not so sure about human institutions, and I think the real point of argument here is whether or not large corporations are human institutions or some other entity we need to be thinking about curtailing. Most libertarians are worried about government but not worried about business. I think we need to be worrying about business in exactly the same way we are worrying about government.

Planet JH Weekly interview (2005)

 * "John Perry Barlow: Wyoming's Estimated Prophet" - interview with Aaron Davis in Planet JH Weekly (28 July 2005)

 * I'm a free-marketeer. I believe in free markets, but... sometimes you have things that look like free markets but aren't because of artificial reasons. I'm not very happy with the current state of what calls itself free market economy in the world because you've got all these grotesque monopolies that are able to game the system in a way that's to their advantage by virtue of their power, and that's not a free market. A real free market has some kind of countervailing influence from the government to keep a monopoly in check, but this government... it's not about free marketing principles, it's about greed pure and simple. And this government wants to assure that the other people that they went to college with get just as rich as they do. This country is going to make Mexico look like Sweden inside of ten years in terms of wealth distribution, because there are no countervailing forces. They've eliminated tax basically for the ultra-rich, they've eliminated any control over monopolies, the greedy have free reign and its just going to be the super rich and the peasants.

 * I was always raised to think that Republicans were about limited government, about individual liberty, about fiscal responsibility, about balanced budgets, about a wariness of military adventures abroad, about responsible encouragement to business. There's a whole list of things I thought the Republican Party was all about, and these guys that presently occupy the White House, are categorically against every single one of those things. So if they're Republicans, I'm not. But I'm really not a very comfortable Democrat. I mean the Democrats in the last elections proved themselves to be a bunch of dithering pussies... and it was pathetic. So I'm just waiting until one party or the other actually gets a moral compass and a backbone.

 * I wasn't tempted to vote for Bush, but I understand why people did… because he obviously had integrity. It was a terrible kind of integrity, but he does what he says and he means what he says. And what he says is terrible and what he does is terrible, but he's consistent. So I think a lot of people in Wyoming who care so much about integrity that they're willing to choose somebody that has a monstrous willingness to do any damn thing as long as he's up front about it — but that's not really quite enough for me. I mean I look forward to the day when I can be Republican again. I'm an Alan Simpson Republican.

 * Polyamory — that's where you're freely confessed that you have more than one lover at a time. And actually I'm less that way than I used to be, but I was trying to make people understand, that at least for some folks, this was a fairly natural state. And instead of skulking around about it that we'd all do better to avoid the deceit and be honest.

Quotes about Barlow

 * The world lost a true hero today, a Renaissance man who was a relentless warrior for our freedom.
 * Nolan Bushnell, in his twitter account (8 February 2018); also quoted in "Grateful Dead Lyricist, Internet Pioneer John Perry Barlow Dead At 70" by Ed Mazza, at Huffingtion Post (8 February 2018)

Barlow was sometimes held up as a straw man for a kind of naive techno-utopianism that believed that the Internet could solve all of humanity's problems without causing any more. As someone who spent the past 27 years working with him at EFF, I can say that nothing could be further from the truth. '''Barlow knew that new technology could create and empower evil as much as it could create and empower good. He made a conscious decision to focus on the latter: "I knew it’s also true that a good way to invent the future is to predict it. So I predicted Utopia, hoping to give Liberty a running start before the laws of Moore and Metcalfe delivered up what Ed Snowden now correctly calls 'turn-key totalitarianism'.'''”
 * It is no exaggeration to say that major parts of the Internet we all know and love today exist and thrive because of Barlow’s vision and leadership. He always saw the Internet as a fundamental place of freedom, where voices long silenced can find an audience and people can connect with others regardless of physical distance.
 * Cindy Cohn, in "John Perry Barlow, Internet Pioneer, 1947-2018" at EFF.org ((7 February 2018)

 *  “Estimated Prophet,” words by John Barlow, music by Bob Weir, has always worked a special kind of magic. Barlow captures that whole slightly (or very) deranged or tripped-out Deadhead vibe so well, but the song’s character transcends that little box over time — both over the time the particular rendition might take, and over the time from when we may have first heard it played or performed to the most recent rendition we have heard. That character stands there in my mind’s eye, calling down the thunder, and he seems so sure, so devoted to his vision, that he stands for everyone who was ever caught up in a transforming belief, who gave in to delusions of grandeur, who believed himself the center of the universe — but wait — haven’t we all done that, at least to some degree? It’s human nature to consider oneself the center of the universe. … Barlow calls on plenty of biblical imagery for the lyrics, with the sea parting before the singer, and fire wheels burning in the air, etc. Pretty much your average run-of-the-mill vision for an experienced Deadhead. The interesting thing, for me, is the notion that this character is a prophet. And therein lies a more subtle biblical reference, not at all overt, but hovering in the back of our minds, perhaps, if we have any biblical training. Namely, the notion, expressed by Jesus in three of the four gospels, and therefore likely to be something he really did say, that a prophet has no honor in his own country. … This is one of those songs, and there are quite a number of them in the Dead’s repertoire, in which a not-entirely-sympathetic character is brought to life, and, in the course of being brought to life, is made more sympathetic.
 * David Dodd, in Greatest Stories Ever Told - "Estimated Prophet" at Dead.net (2013)

 * This life is fleeting, as we all know — the Muse we serve is not. John had a way of taking life’s most difficult things and framing them as challenges, therefore adventures. He was to be admired for that, even emulated. He’ll live on in the songs we wrote...
 * Bob Weir, in his twitter account (7 February 2018)

Tecumseh

Tecumseh (March 1768 – 5 October 1813) was a celebrated Native American Shawnee warrior and chief. He was known as a strong and eloquent orator and promoter of tribal unity, who led his people to make significant sacrifices in their attempts to repel the Americans from Native American lands. Tecumseh and his confederacy fought the United States during Tecumseh's War, at the Battle of Tippecanoe, and as allies with Great Britain, in the War of 1812. He envisioned the establishment of an independent Native American nation east of the Mississippi River under British protection. Since his death Tecumseh has become an iconic folk hero in American, Indigenous, and Canadian history.

Quotes

 * Brothers — My people wish for peace; the red men all wish for peace; but where the white people are, there is no peace for them, except it be on the bosom of our mother. Where today are the Pequod? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the White Man, as snow before a summer sun. Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle, give up our homes, our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit, the graves of our dead and everything that is dear to us? I know you will cry with me, Never! NEVER!.
 * "Sleep Not Longer, O Choctaws and Chickasaws", a speech before a joint council of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations (1811); also in The Way : An Anthology Of American Indian Literature (1972) by Shirley Hill Witt and Stan Steiner

 * The annihilation of our race is at hand unless we unite in one common cause against the common foe. Think not, brave Choctaws and Chickasaws, that you can remain passive and indifferent to the common danger, and thus escape the common fate. Your people, too, will soon be as falling leaves and scattering clouds before their blighting breath. You, too, will be driven away from your native land and ancient domains as leaves are driven before the wintry storms. Sleep not longer, O Choctaws and Chickasaws, in false security and delusive hopes. Our broad domains are fast escaping from our grasp. Every year our white intruders become more greedy, exacting, oppressive and overbearing. Every year contentions spring up between them and our people and when blood is shed we have to make atonement whether right or wrong, at the cost of the lives of our greatest chiefs, and the yielding up of large tracts of our lands.
 * Speech before a joint council of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations (1811)

 * If there be one here tonight who believes that his rights will not sooner or later be taken from him by the avaricious American pale faces, his ignorance ought to excite pity, for he knows little of our common foe... Then listen to the voice of duty, of honor, of nature and of your endangered country. Let us form one body, one heart, and defend to the last warrior our country, our homes, our liberty, and the graves of our fathers.
 * Speech before a joint council of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations (1811)

 * One of my legs is shot off! But leave me one or two guns loaded — I am going to have a last shot. Be quick and go!
 * Account given by Andrew J. Blackbird (Mack-e-te-be-nessy) of the Ottawa, of the last words declared by Tecumseh to his fellow warriors, as he lay on the ground after being severely wounded by a musket ball in the leg, and prior to being swarmed over by many U.S. troops. Another account that was long given credence was that he was killed by Colonel Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky with a pistol shot, as Tecumseh leapt at the man on horseback with a tomahawk. Historians have grown skeptical of this account. (5 October 1813)

 * My heart is a stone: heavy with sadness for my people; cold with the knowledge that no treaty will keep whites out of our lands; hard with the determination to resist as long as I live and breathe. Now we are weak and many of our people are afraid. But hear me: a single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong. Someday I will embrace our brother tribes and draw them into a bundle and together we will win our country back from the whites.
 * As quoted in Touch the Earth : A Self-portrait of Indian Existence (1973) by T. C. McLuhan, this contains a remark "a single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong", similar to statements attributed to Aesop, and contained in Jewish scriptures.

 * No tribe has the right to sell, even to each other, much less to strangers... Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? Didn't the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children? The way, the only way to stop this evil is for the red man to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land, as it was first, and should be now, for it was never divided. We gave them forest-clad mountains and valleys full of game, and in return what did they give our warriors and our women? Rum, trinkets, and a grave.
 * As quoted in The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Old West (1999) by Mike Flanagan, p. 94; this appears to contain slight variants of comments reported to have been spoken to William Henry Harrison in August 1810.

Account one

 * Quotations from a statement reported to have been spoken to William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Indiana Territory (11 August 1810), as quoted in Panther in the Sky (1990) by James Alexander Thom

 * Brother, I wish you to give me close attention, because I think you do not clearly understand. I want to speak to you about promises that the Americans have made. You recall the time when the Jesus Indians of the Delawares lived near the Americans, and had confidence in their promises of friendship, and thought they were secure, yet the Americans murdered all the men, women, and children, even as they prayed to Jesus?

 * Flags were given to my people, and they were told they were now the children of the Americans. We were told, if any white people mean to harm you, hold up these flags and you will then be safe from all danger. We did this in good faith. But what happened? Our beloved chief Moluntha stood with the American flag in front of him and that very peace treaty in his hand, but his head was chopped by a American officer, and that American officer was never punished. Brother, after such bitter events, can you blame me for placing little confidence in the promises of Americans?

 * It is you, the Americans, by such bad deeds, who push the red men to do mischief. You do not want unity among the tribes, and you destroy it. You try to make differences between them. We, their leaders, wish them to unite and consider their land the common property of all, but you try to keep them from this. You separate the tribes and deal with them that way, one by one, and advise them not to come into this union. Your states have set an example of forming a union among all the Fires, why should you censure the Indians for following that example? But, brother, I mean to bring all the tribes together, in spite of you, and until I have finished, I will not go to visit your president. Maybe I will when I have finished, maybe. The reason I tell you this, you want, by making your distinctions of Indian tribes and allotting to each a particular tract of land, to set them against each other, and thus to weaken us.

 * The only way to stop this evil is for all the red men to unite in claiming an equal right in the land. That is how it was at first, and should be still, for the land never was divided, but was for the use of everyone. Any tribe could go to an empty land and make a home there. And if they left, another tribe could come there and make a home. No groups among us have a right to sell, even to one another, and surely not to outsiders who want all, and will not do with less. Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the clouds, and the Great Sea, as well as the earth? Did not the Great Good Spirit make them all for the use of his children?

 * Brother, I was glad to hear what you told us. you said that if we could prove that the land was sold by people who had no right to sell it, you would restore it. I will prove that those who did sell did not own it. Did they have a deed? A title? No! You say those prove someone owns land. Those chiefs only spoke a claim, and so you pretended to believe their claim, only because you wanted the land. But the many tribes with me will not agree with those claims. They have never had a title to sell, and we agree this proves you could not buy it from them.

 * I am Shawnee! I am a warrior! My forefathers were warriors. From them I took only my birth into this world. From my tribe I take nothing. I am the maker of my own destiny! And of that I might make the destiny of my red people, of our nation, as great as I conceive to in my mind, when I think of Weshemoneto, who rules this universe! I would not then have to come to Governor Harrison and ask him to tear up this treaty and wipe away the marks upon the land. No! I would say to him, "Sir, you may return to your own country!"

 * The being within me hears the voice of the ages, which tells me that once, always, and until lately, there were no white men on all this island, that it then belonged to the red men, children of the same parents, placed on it by the Great Good Spirit who made them, to keep it, to traverse it, to enjoy its yield, and to people it with the same race. Once they were a happy race! Now they are made miserable by the white people, who are never contented but are always coming in! You do this always, after promising not to anyone, yet you ask us to have confidence in your promises. How can we have confidence in the white people? When Jesus Christ came upon the earth, you killed him, the son of your own God, you nailed him up! You thought he was dead, but you were mistaken. And only after you thought you killed him did you worship him, and start killing those who would not worship him. What kind of a people is this for us to trust?

 * Now, Brother, everything I have said to you is the truth, as Weshemoneto has inspired me to speak only truth to you. I have declared myself freely to you about my intentions. And I want to know your intentions. I want to know what you are going to do about the taking of our land. I want to hear you say that you understand now, and will wipe out that pretended treaty, so that the tribes can be at peace with each other, as you pretend you want them to be. Tell me, brother. I want to know now.

Account Two

 * Quotations from another account of a statement reported to have been delivered to Governor William Henry Harrison in council at Vincennes (12 August 1810), as quoted in Biography and History of the Indians of North America (1836) by Samuel Gardner Drake, p. 121 [This is at many points similar, and may be a slightly different account of the same statement reportedly made on the eleventh, above.]

 * It is true I am a Shawnee. My forefathers were warriors. Their son is a warrior. From them I take only my existence; from my tribe I take nothing. I am the maker of my own fortune; and oh! that I could make that of my red people, and of my country, as great as the conceptions of my mind, when I think of the Spirit that rules the universe. I would not then come to Governor Harrison to ask him to tear the treaty and to obliterate the landmark; but I would say to him: "Sir, you have liberty to return to your own country."

 * The being within, communing with past ages, tells me that once, nor until lately, there was no white man on this continent; that it then all belonged to red men, children of the same parents, placed on it by the Great Spirit that made them, to keep it, to traverse it, to enjoy its productions, and to fill it with the same race, once a happy race, since made miserable by the white people who are never contented but always encroaching. The way, and the only way, to check and to stop this evil, is for all the red men to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land, as it was at first, and should be yet; for it never was divided, but belongs to all for the use of each. For no part has a right to sell, even to each other, much less to strangers — those who want all, and will not do with less.

 * The white people have no right to take the land from the Indians, because they had it first; it is theirs. They may sell, but all must join. Any sale not made by all is not valid. The late sale is bad. It was made by a part only. Part do not know how to sell. It requires all to make a bargain for all. All red men have equal rights to the unoccupied land. The right of occupancy is as good in one place as in another. There can not be two occupations in the same place. The first excludes all others. It is not so in hunting or traveling; for there the same ground will serve many, as they may follow each other all day; but the camp is stationary, and that is occupancy. It belongs to the first who sits down on his blanket or skins which he has thrown upon the ground; and till he leaves it no other has a right.

Tecumseh to the Osages (1811)

 * Quotations from a speech allegedly delivered to the Osages, on Tecumseh's way back home in late 1811. The sole account of this speech is by John Dunn Hunter (1798?–1827), an Anglo-American whose parents had been killed by the Kickapoos, and who had been later raised among the Osages; albas quoted in Memoirs of a captivity among the Indians of North America, from childhood to the age of nineteen: with anecdotes descriptive of their manners and customs (1824) by John Dunn Hunter, pp. 45-48.

 * Brothers, we all belong to one family; we are all children of the Great Spirit; we walk in the same path; slake our thirst at the same spring; and now affairs of the greatest concern lead us to smoke the pipe around the same council fire! Brothers, we are friends; we must assist each other to bear our burdens. The blood of many of our fathers and brothers has run like water on the ground, to satisfy the avarice of the white men.

 * Brothers, when the white men first set foot on our grounds, they were hungry; they had no place on which to spread their blankets, or to kindle their fires. They were feeble; they could do nothing for themselves. Our fathers commiserated their distress, and shared freely with them whatever the Great Spirit had given his red children. They gave them food when hungry, medicine when sick, spread skins for them to sleep on, and gave them grounds, that they might hunt and raise corn. Brothers, the white people are like poisonous serpents: when chilled, they are feeble and harmless; but invigorate them with warmth, and they sting their benefactors to death. The white people came among us feeble; and now that we have made them strong, they wish to kill us, or drive us back, as they would wolves and panthers.

 * Brothers, the white men are not friends to the Indians: at first, they only asked for land sufficient for a wigwam; now, nothing will satisfy them but the whole of our hunting grounds, from the rising to the setting sun. Brothers, the white men want more than our hunting grounds; they wish to kill our old men, women, and little ones. Brothers, many winters ago there was no land; the sun did not rise and set; all was darkness.

 * The Great Spirit made all things. He gave the white people a home beyond the great waters. He supplied these grounds with game, and gave them to his red children; and he gave them strength and courage to defend them.

 * Brothers, the white men despise and cheat the Indians; they abuse and insult them; they do not think the red men sufficiently good to live. The red men have borne many and great injuries; they ought to suffer them no longer.

 * Brothers, The white people send runners amongst us; they wish to make us enemies, that they may sweep over and desolate our hunting grounds, like devastating winds, or rushing waters.

 * Brothers, we must be united; we must smoke the same pipe; we must fight each other’s battles; and, more than all, we must love the Great Spirit: he is for us; he will destroy our enemies, and make all his red children happy.

 * The whites have driven us from the sea to the lakes. We can go no further... unless every tribe unanimously combines to give a check to the ambition and avarice of the whites they will soon conquer us apart and disunited and we will be driven from our native country and scattered as autumn leaves before the wind.

Quotes about Tecumseh

 * I found some extraordinary characters. He who attracted most my attention was a Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, brother to the Prophet, who for the last two years has carried on contrary to our remonstrances an active warfare against the United States. A more sagacious or more gallant warrior does not, I believe, exist. He was the admiration of every one who conversed with him.
 * British Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, as quoted in History of the United States of America (1890) by Henry Adams, Vol. 6, p. 329

 * It is difficult to feel greatness after a lapse of 200 years, but Tecumseh truly seems admirable. He was noble in his speech and behavior, adamant in his opposition to U.S. expansion, farsighted in his policies, brave in battle, yet merciful and protective toward captives.
 * Devin Bent in Tecumseh: A Brief Biography

 * If it were not for the vicinity of the United States, he would perhaps be the founder of an empire that would rival in glory Mexico or Peru. No difficulties deter him. For four years he has been in constant motion. You see him today on the Wabash, and in a short time hear of him on the shores of Lake Erie or Michigan, or on the banks of the Mississippi, and wherever he goes he makes an impression favorable to his purpose.
 * William Henry Harrison, as quoted in Battle of Tippecanoe (1911) by Reed Beard

Disputed

 * So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
 * As quoted in A Sourcebook for Earth's Community of Religions (1995) by Joel Diederik Beversluis; but also ascribed to some of the Wabasha chiefs, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Wovoka, according to Ernest Thompson Seton, The Gospel of the Red Man: An Indian Bible, San Diego, The Book Tree, 2006, p. 60 ISBN 978-1-58509-276-5

 * When the legends die, the dreams end; there is no more greatness.
 * Quoted as a statement of Tecumseh in Inspire! : What Great Leaders Do (2004) by Lance H. K. Secretan, p. 67; but also often quoted as an anonymous Shawnee proverb, as in The Soul Would Have No Rainbow If The Eyes Had No Tears (1994) by Guy A. Zona, p. 45

"Let the White Race Perish" (October 1811)

 * The Muscogee was once a mighty people. The Georgians trembled at your war-whoop, and the maidens of my tribe, on the distant lakes, sung the prowess of your warriors and sighed for their embraces. Now your very blood is white; your tomahawks have no edge; your bows and arrows were buried with your fathers. Oh! Muscogees, brethren of my mother, brush from your eyelids the sleep of slavery; once more strike for vengeance; once more for your country. The spirits of the mighty dead complain. Their tears drop from the weeping skies. Let the white race perish! They seize your land, they corrupt your women, they trample on your dead! Back! whence they came, upon a trail of blood, they must be driven! Back! back — ay, into the great water whose accursed waves brought them to our shores! Burn their dwellings! Destroy their stock! Slay their wives and children! The red man owns the country, and the pale-face must never enjoy it! War now! War forever! War upon the living! War upon the dead! Dig their very corpses from the graves! Our country must give no rest to the white man's bones.
 * Speech to the Creek people, quoted in Great Speeches by Native Americans by Robert Blaisdel. This quote appeared in J. F H. Claiborne, Life and Times of Gen. Sam Dale, the Mississippi Partisan (Harper, New York, 1860). However, historian John Sugden writes, "Claiborne's description of Tecumseh at Tuckabatchie in the alleged autobiography of the Fontiersman, Samuel Dale, however, is fraudulent. … Although they adopt the style of the first person, as in conventional autobiography, the passages dealing with Tecumseh were largely based upon published sources, including McKenney, Pickett and Drake's Life of Tecumseh. The story is cast in the exaggerated and sensational language of the dime novelist, with embellishments more likely supplied by Claiborne than Dale, and the speech put into Tecumseh's mouth is not only unhistorical but similar to ones the author concocted for other Indians in different circumstances." Sugden also finds it "unreliable" and "bogus." Sugden, John. "Early Pan-Indianism; Tecumseh’s Tour of the Indian Country, 1811-1812." American Indian Quarterly 10, no. 4 (1986): 273–304. doi:10.2307/1183838.

They wrote a pretty big book about dumb quotes from this guy. Surely you can do more than that!

''Does anyone recall a quote by Jean when being investigated yet again (not verbatum, but the gist of which may be), "Just because they come fishing ( meaning investigating), doesn't mean I have to provide him/ them a fish every time." Let them do their own work and catch the fish on their own.'' - thank you for your help.

 * I started on this, but I only have seasons 1-6 on DVD (I didn't get to watch many of them while it was still on) so I'll leave the last three for someone else. Savidan 20:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Copyright
I removed the tag. These quotes are fair use. It's not like we have the script here. Savidan 00:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

What really belongs here?
It seems to me that some of the quotes currently on this page is too obscure or otherwise not notable enough, although I wish I had the time to contribute more episodes as well. Please see the discussion at Buffy. xiner 00:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I completely agree with you, the thing is that some quotes are funny on the show, by the way they say them or whatever, but when you post them here, they just don't make sense. I'm going to try to go through and eliminate some of those. Mbatman 17:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Wiki article links
Do we really need to put a link to Jerry and George's article on every first line of an episode? Just once would be fine. Demoman87 18:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * While I am inclined to agree with you, that is the long-established standard format for TV shows. (shrug) ~ Ningauble 22:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh-oh. I've actually been deleting these repetitive links on articles (e.g., Friends (TV series), That '70s Show, The O.C., Arrested Development (TV series)).  The relevant quote in our layout guide is as follows: "For characters with Wikipedia pages, the first time a character appears in an episode it should be linked to the Wikipedia page." I took this to mean, not the first time a character is quoted in every episode, but rather the first time a character is quoted in an episode in the article. I really don't see the need for any link to be repeated on a page. - InvisibleSun 23:20, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually I believe the intent is to do exactly that - link the first time in every episode. The rationale is that with TV shows, the pages often get pretty large and if a reader is pretty far down the page, and the links were only on the page once, at the top of the page, they wouldn't see it. The other way we could do it would be to just have the link in the cast section, but this is the way it has been done for a while. If people think this should be changed, maybe we should discuss it on the Guide to layout talk page. ~ UDScott 02:19, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Why?
Why is "significant shrinkage!" not on there?? 70.239.246.16 22:10, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Cancelled?
Why is this page under "cancelled shows"? I've never read any credible report about it being cancelled, and Seinfeld himself said that NBC actually wanted him to continue the show into a tenth season, but he decided that it should end at 9.

Qin Shi Huang

Qin Shi Huang (秦始皇, literally Qin Initial Emperor) (259 BC – 210 BC) was the first Emperor of China and the foundation of Qin dynasty.

Quotes

 * 天下共苦戰鬥不休，以有侯王. 賴宗廟，天下初定，又復立國，是樹兵也，而求其寧息，豈不難哉！
 * The reason why All-under-Heaven suffers bitterly from endless wars is because of the existence of feudal lords and kings. A reliance on ancestral temples initially brought stability, but the revival of states results in the spread of soldiers. Doing so will never bring about stability!
 * Records of the Grand Historian, by Sima Qian

 * I have collected all the writings of the Empire and burnt those which were of no use.
 * As quoted in The Tyrants: 2500 Years of Absolute Power and Corruption (2006) by Clive Foss, p. 10, ISBN 1905204965

Quotes about Qin Shi Huang
He opened my door, And sat on my floor, He drank my gravy, And wanted some more. He sipped my wine, And couldn't tell what for; I'll bend my bow, And shoot him at the wall. When he arrives at Shach'iu, Then he is going to fall!
 * Ch'in Shih-huang is going to die!
 * "Ballad that the oppressed people of China composed" expressing "great delight" at the news of Qin Shi Huang's death, "the builder of the Great Wall and the tyrant, who, while he lived, made 'libellous thoughts in the belly' punishable by death, burned the Confucian books and buried hundreds of Confucian scholars alive", as reported and quoted in Lin Yutang's A History of the Press and Public Opinion in China (1936), p. 23, and in The Importance of Living (1937), pp. 39–40.

 * Qin Shi Huang, also called Shi Huangdi ['First Emperor'] unified China, laying the foundations for what became a vast and enduring state. He founded the short-lived Qin [pronounced 'chin'] Dynasty whose name is the origin of 'China.' He created a centrally-controlled, efficient administration, bound his realm together with new road and canal systems, and defended it with long walls. Yet he ruled with extraordinary brutality.
 * Clive Foss, The Tyrants: 2500 Years of Absolute Power and Corruption, London: Quercus Publishing, 2006, ISBN 1905204965, p. 148

 * Qin Shi Huangdi created the first unified Chinese empire that emerged from the “Warring States Period’. By 221 Bc he had successfully destroyed the last remaining rival kingdoms within China and made himself supreme ruler: the First Emperor. A remarkable, ruthless statesman and conqueror, of manic gifts, haunted by madness, sadism and paranoia, Qin Shi Huangdi’s reign quickly degenerated into a brutal and bloody tyranny. His reputation in China has always been that of a tyrant, but it was Chairman Mao Zedong, another monstrous dictator, who associated himself with the ‘First Emperor’ and promoted him as his glorious precursor.
 * Simon Sebag Montefiore, Monsters: History's Most Evil Men and Women (2009), p. 5

Quotes

 * If you don't have a consensus that it's nonsense, you don't have a breakthrough.
 * From article: Taylor, Chris (Nov. 29, 2004). The Sky's the Limit. Time, p. 67.

 * I strongly feel that, if we are successful, our program will mark the beginning of a renaissance for manned space flight. This might even be similar to that wonderful time period between 1908 and 1912 when the world went from a total of ten airplane pilots to hundreds of airplane types and thousands of pilots in 39 countries. We need affordable space travel to inspire our youth, to let them know that they can experience their dreams, can set significant goals and be in a position to lead all of us to future progress in exploration, discovery and fun. Thanks to the X PRIZE [Foundation] for the inspiration.
 * From website: The Ansari X PRIZE (http://www.xprize.org/teams/mojave_aerospace_ventures.php ). Retrieved Nov. 23, 2004.

 * To have breakthroughs, you must have confidence in nonsense, okay? That's why only weird guys tend to have the breakthroughs: a sensible person won't have a breakthrough 'cause he writes it off real quickly as nonsense and, therefore, he doesn't ever do something that's nonsense.
