Request for Usurpation
Hello, Frank. A request has been made to usurp, or "take over", your username because you have not used it to edit, and another user would like to use it to edit.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to utilize the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request will be filled, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit. You may make an edit here saying "No", you may make an edit to blank this page, or any other edit you like; making any edit at all prevents your username from being usurped, because users with edits cannot have their usernames usurped.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. FrankTemp 01:36, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Frank (usurped). To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Frank (usurped)~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.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a 2005 science fiction comedy film. It is based upon the television series, radio series and book of the same name by Douglas Adams.

Don't Panic taglines

The Guide

 * It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the third most intelligent. The second most intelligent creatures, were of course dolphins who, curiously enough, had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth. They had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger, but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits. So they eventually decided they would leave Earth by their own means. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards somersault through a hoop while whistling "the Star-Spangled Banner", but in fact, the message was this: [dolphin freeze-frames in mid-air] "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"
 * Introductory narration
 * The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book—perhaps the most remarkable, certainly the most successful book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor. More popular than the Celestial Homecare Omnibus, better selling than 53 Things to Do in Zero Gravity, and more controversial than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters—Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes, and Who is This God Person Anyway?
 * It is important to note that suddenly, and against all probability, a sperm whale had been called into existence, several miles above the surface of an alien planet. But since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity. This is what it thought as it fell: 'Ahhh! Whoa! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by 'who am I'? Okay, okay, calm down, calm down, get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? It's a sort of a tingling in my... well, I suppose I better start finding names for things. Let's call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting! I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now, isn't it? And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello Ground!' [the whale crashes into the ground] Curiously, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell, was: 'Oh no, not again.' Many have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that, we should know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
 * Vogons are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy—not evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious, and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, lost, found, queried, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry to you.
 * The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy not from its carrier, but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear, you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language.
 * Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway. It proves you do exist, and so therefore, you don't. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
 * A deleted portion of the filmed narrative, included as an Easter egg on the DVD
 * Vogon poetry is widely accepted as the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Khria. During a recitation by their poet-master, Grunthos the Flatulent, of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience members died of internal hemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council only survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. The absolute worst poetry is by Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex. Luckily it was destroyed when the earth was.
 * "Space," says the introduction to The Hitchhiker's Guide, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is," and so on.
 * The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call "The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief", are small blue creatures with more than fifty arms each. They are unique in being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel.
 * What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue: Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far—which, given your present circumstances, seems more likely—consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer.
 * The Encyclopedia Galactica chapter on love states that it is far too complicated to define. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of love: Avoid, if at all possible. Unfortunately, Arthur Dent has never read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Arthur Dent

 * This must be Thursday... I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
 * "Humma Kavula" is a person? I thought he was swearing!
 * Go with the hunch of a man whose brain is fueled by lemons?!

Ford Prefect

 * Workers of the Earth ... I bring good tidings of peanuts!
 * It's a tough galaxy. If you want to survive, you've gotta know … where your towel is.
 * Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.
 * They don't think, they don't imagine, most of them can't even spell. They just run things. And if we don't hitch a ride soon, you won't need the guide to tell you just how unpleasant the Vogons can be. They already destroyed a planet today, and that always makes them a little "eeee!"
 * I've been stranded on a strange planet for a number of years, I haven't been avoiding you. You look great, you're doing well. You've grown, obviously.
 * Talking to a massive pair of hairy legs in an equally massive pair of high heels

Zaphod Beeblebrox

 * If there's anything more important than my ego on this ship, I want it caught and shot right now. Hey, c'mon, I love it.
 * Whoo, they're on our tail! Fire a gun! Launch a missile! Do some damage! Come on!
 * In the name of democracy, freedom, stuff like that... I hereby kidnap myself, and I'm taking the ship with me!
 * Apparently you can't be president with a whole brain.
 * I'm just gonna go… find something else for my whole life to be about.
 * I'm the president of the galaxy, babe. I ain't got a whole lot of time for reading.
 * HUMMA KAVULA!!!!
 * [Humma Kavula is removing Zaphod's second head with a giant buzzsaw] Hey, hey, hey, take it easy now. Think about this before you do it. NO STOP IT! Ah that kinda tickles. [his second head is removed] TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE! DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE! [Zaphod's second head has been placed on a hula dancer bobblehead doll with the label "STUPID" underneath it] IT'S NOT FAIR! YOU NEED ME! COME BACK! COME BACK! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! COME BACK!
 * I think you think you don't know, but we both know that you do! (smiles a toothy grin and points at Humma Kavula)

Trillian (Tricia McMillan)

 * So much for the laws of physics.
 * Buttons aren't toys!
 * It won't affect me. I'm already a woman.
 * Remark about the point-of-view gun.

Slartibartfast

 * You must come with me.
 * Welcome to our factory floor!
 * Voila! Himalayas! Good, eh?
 * I'd much rather be happy than right any day.

Others

 * Questular Rontok: She's lying. She's skinny and she's pretty and she's lying.

Dialogue

 * Ford: Arthur... what if I told you I really wasn't from Guildford—I was from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse?
 * Arthur: [chuckles incredulously] Is that something you're likely to say?

 * Bartender: You really think the world's gonna end?
 * Ford: Yes.
 * Bartender: Shouldn't we lie down? Put paper bags over our heads or something?
 * Ford: If you like.
 * Bartender: Would it help?
 * Ford: Not at all.

 * [Ford and Arthur have been turned into sofas]
 * Arthur: Ford?
 * Ford: Yes?
 * Arthur: I think I'm a sofa.
 * Ford: ...I know how you feel.
 * [Ford and Arthur both scream until they revert to normal]

 * [Everyone aboard the Heart of Gold has been turned into yarn dolls]
 * Zaphod: Wow...is this gonna happen every time we...we hit that button?
 * Trillian: Very probably, yes.
 * [Arthur stumbles onto the bridge]
 * Marvin: Ah, I think the Earthman's about to be sick.
 * Zaphod: Whoa, whoa, do it in the trash can, ape man! This ship's brand new!
 * [Arthur vomits colored yarn into the can]
 * Ford: Oh, dear.
 * Zaphod: Oh, come on!
 * Trillian: We have normality.
 * Arthur: [now normal, pulling a strand of yarn from his mouth] Did it work, are we there?

 * Marvin: I think you ought to know that I'm feeling very depressed.
 * Trillian: Well, we have something that should take your mind off things.
 * Marvin: It won't work. I have an exceptionally large mind.
 * Trillian: Yeah, we know. But uh, we need you to go down to the number two entry bay and pick up our stowaways and bring them up here.
 * Marvin: Just that? I won't enjoy it.
 * Trillian: Yeah, well, that's life.
 * Marvin: [Scornfully] Life. Don't talk to me about life.

 * Zaphod: Hey, enough small talk Trill, we're on the run, remember I stole a ship?
 * Arthur: Excuse me, we're having a bit of a chat here, do you mind?
 * Zaphod: Well I think the girl's got [second head pops out] BOO, ha ha ha ha ha, you blew it with her earth-man, so shut your face or I'll kick you in the zatch. [he starts poking Arthur, who raises his fists] You want to fight?
 * Arthur: Yeah.
 * Zaphod: You want to fight?
 * Arthur: Okay.
 * Zaphod: Earth-man wants to fight.
 * Trillian: No, no, no.
 * Zaphod: [raises his hands] I'm just kidding, I'm a kidder. Come on, lets be friends, lets connect, you and I. [third arm pops out and punches Arthur] Didn't see that one coming did ya. Popped right out of the box. You foxy. Yeah. [starts dancing away] You should teach your pal a lesson Ford. He's a guest on my ship. [singing] He's a guest on my, shiiiip.
 * Ford: I thought you said you stole it.
 * Zaphod: [second head pops down] Stole what? What are we talking about?

 * Zaphod: Hey ape-man, uh, earth, uh, dude, sorry, what was your name again?
 * Arthur: Arthur
 * Zaphod: Right, gorgeous. No hard feelings, okay? Sorry to hear about your planet, [snaps fingers] what was it called?
 * Arthur: Earth.
 * Zaphod: Yeah, Earth, I liked Earth. Got these boots on Earth. Hey listen, don't mention it to the girl, okay? 'Cause if you do...
 * [Zaphod's other head pops out]
 * Zaphod: I'll pull your spleen out through your throat! [pushes second head down] Alright? Thanks buddy. Good stuff. Like those jammies.

 * Zaphod: Hey baby, a little help over here, I think I'm in over my head. [second head pops out] I'll take this! Good zarquon, do I have to do everything? Yes I do! [second head pops down] Hey, hey slim, this looks really pretty...
 * Tricia: Don't!
 * Zaphod: [second head pops out] Whoo, they're on our tail! Fire a gun! Launch a missile! Do some damage!

 * Slartibartfast: Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what's actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, "Hang the sense of it," and keep yourself busy. I'd much rather be happy than right any day.
 * Arthur Dent: And are you?
 * Slartibartfast: Ah, no. Well, that's where it all falls down, of course.

 * Trillian: Marvin, you saved our lives.
 * Marvin: I know. Wretched isn't it?

 * [Arthur is flying the escape pod]
 * Arthur Dent: Ford? Ford! Help here!
 * Ford: Um...let's push this button here!
 * [Pushes button]
 * [Screen displays "Do not press this button again"]
 * Arthur: Uh, no! no no no no no!
 * Ford: How about...this?
 * [Pushes another button]
 * [Steering wheel pops up]
 * Arthur: Ah! there we go, Good man! Good man!
 * Zaphod: You forgot your towel. [puts towel over Arthur's eyes]
 * Arthur: NOOO get him off me! I'll kill him, I'll kill him! Okay, Ford, there's uh, could you...
 * [Points]
 * Ford: You mean that?
 * Arthur: No, that's not it, that makes it worse!
 * [Display beeps]
 * Ford: No? No. Um...
 * [Pushes another button, windshield wipers activate]
 * Arthur: No, I don't need that, I don't need that. Could you stop the rocket? Okay Marvin, any ideas?
 * Marvin: I have a million ideas, they all point to certain death.
 * Arthur: [dripping with sarcasm] Thanks very much Marv.

 * Ford: [shrieks his battle cry and runs at the Vogons]
 * Vogons: He's got a towel! Run away!

 * [Arguing over using a portal]
 * Arthur: We can't just, step into that. We don't even know where it leads!
 * Ford: If we, if we pick the wrong one we just, we come back, we pick another one. It's no biggy!
 * Arthur: What?! It's a big biggy, Ford! A big biggy! I mean, what if it rips us all into tiny little atomic partical-thingys?!
 * Zaphod: This is the right one! I have a hunch!
 * Arthur: Ford!
 * Ford: His hunches are good, Arthur! I say we go!
 * Arthur: [absolutely furious] GO WITH THE HUNCH OF A MAN WHOSE BRAIN IS FUELED BY LEMONS?!?! THIS IS SUICIDE!
 * Zaphod: Hey, I think I resent that!
 * Arthur: I don't care what you think you think!
 * Zaphod: I'm getting a lot of hostility from you Alex, or Armin, whatever your name is!
 * Arthur: Arthur!
 * Zaphod: Have you tried yoga?!

 * [The mice (Lunkwill and Fook) are trying to remove Arthur's brain]
 * Arthur: Just wait a sodding minute! You want a question that goes with the answer for 42? Well, how about "What's six times seven?" Or "How many Vogons does it take to change a lightbulb?" Here's one! "How many roads must a man walk down?"
 * Lunkwill: Hey, that's not bad!
 * Arthur: Fine. Fine, take it. Because my head is filled with questions. And I can assure you, no answer to any one of them has ever brought me one iota of happiness. Except for one. The one. The only question I've ever wanted an answer to—"Is she the one?" And the answer bloody well isn't "42", it's "yes"! Undoubtedly, unequivocally, unabashedly yes! And for one week, one week in my sad little blip of an existence, it made me happy.
 * Trillian: [sleepily] That's a good answer... [falls back unconscious]
 * Lunkwill: Rubbish. We don't want to be happy, we want to be famous.
 * Fook: Yeah, what is all this "Is she the one" tripe?
 * Lunkwill: Take his brain!
 * [Their drill starts again]
 * Arthur: NO, DON'T TAKE THE BRAIN, DON'T TAKE THE BRAIN MICE! [he breaks an arm of the chair and knocks the mice off the drill]
 * Trillian: [screams]
 * Zaphod: IT WASN'T ME!
 * Ford: ONE TWO THREE!
 * Zaphod: I'm famous.
 * Lunkwill: [trying to point the point-of-view gun at Arthur] Shoot him! Quickly! Shoot him!
 * Arthur: [lifts the teapot over his head and smashes it down]
 * Fook: Oh, bollocks. [they are squished]

User talk:24.70.238.210

Please stop recreating the Melody Zacharias page - this is not a notable person and doesn't warrant having a page. ~ UDScott 20:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

After recreating an article for Melody Zacharias, you noted on the discussion page how you didn't see anywhere that being notable was a requirement for Wikiquote. It is, in fact, one of our criteria, as seen here in the section "What is Wikiquote": "Notable: We limit ourselves to quotations which are notable. A quotation can be notable either because it has achieved fame by itself, but more usually because it was said by someone notable, or appeared in a notable work." For this reason the Zacharias page has again been deleted. - InvisibleSun 07:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I will respect those guidelines, as you have interpreted them, although I think they are silly. Are you convinced that the requirement you have cited is all inclusive? Are these the only ways that a quote can become notable? If some backwater gent says something very profound, perhaps something that will touch people in their heart and perhaps make the world a better place, you don't want to hear it because that person is not famous?

I would rather read a pearl of wisdom from whoever said it than the stupid ranting of Courtney Love, for example. As I posted on the discussion page: Out of the mouths of babes... . Wisdom comes from many places. If you restrict yourself to quotes from famous people, you will miss out on a lot that the world has to offer. Paris Hilton is famous. She is also sharp as a cue ball (to quote Foghorn Leghorn). Although I can learn what not to do from Paris, I find that there are many more examples of what not to do in this world than what to do. If I can post something notable, that people may find helpful or applicable in their lives, that is worth while. You attack my posting yet you find no fault in posting the diarrhea that Courtney Love spews. Here are two from Gallileo: In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. I never met a man so unknowledgeable, I could not learn something from him.

Finally, there is a process for removal. Why is it that you feel justified in simply removing the quote? If you object to the quote being posted, there is a process to remove it. Your arbitrary actions are capricious. It is my understanding that in the wiki world, I have a right to post and you have a right to edit. You are choosing to censor, not edit. Why do you expect me to follow a rule as you have interpreted it when you do not follow the rules for removal? To ensure that you read this, I will post one final time. Melody has told me that she has no desire to be "known" and so I have no intention of foisting this upon her any longer.

 * I'm sorry that you feel so strongly that our policies are invalid. But there is a simple solution - create a user page, and you are then able to place whatever quotes you would like (famous or not-so-famous) on your user page. But the larger wikiquote spce is devoted to notable people only. That is why this page was deleted, not because of the quality of the quote. Feel free to create a user page and place the quote on it. ~ UDScott 17:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

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

Sourced

 * "[The gay community can] fight for our rightful voice, or we can continue to … slap one another and one day find ourselves without the electoral base to sustain the voice we already have."
 * Letter to Bay Area Reporter as cited by the San Francisco Chronicle (October 21, 2001). Senate redistricting splits Castro: Gays accuse Burton of smoothing political path for Willie Brown

The Transgender Community Needs to Reestablish Its Voice (2005)
Alice Reports (September 2005). The Transgender Community Needs to Reestablish Its Voice

 * "We were fed up being harassed and strip-searched by the police, denied medical treatment, refused housing and even barred from using public bathrooms just because we were trans. We were tired of being beaten and murdered. So we went out and worked."

 * "The lack of political attention to candidates and issues, history has shown us, is a sure-fire way to end up left out of the policy debates altogether."

 * "We need to continue to educate our elected officials and candidates for office on who we are, what we need and why they should stand in solidarity with us."

 * "Our community is organized, it’s strong, it’s paying attention and it needs to ensure a place at the political table, now and for future generations of transgender leaders."

Norbit

Norbit is a 2007 slapstick romantic comedy film, directed by Brian Robbins and starring its co-writer, Eddie Murphy, in three leading roles. Reviews are overwhelmingly negative. The film was nominated for 8 Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Picture, and won 3 awards all for Eddie Murphy as 3 different characters: Norbit, Mr. Wong, and Rasputia. Have You Ever Made A Really Big Mistake? (taglines)

Norbit

 * I didn't touch your seat.
 * No, that's just my... my wife.
 * No, the one, suckin' the jelly outta them doughnuts.
 * Rasputia, I know we're a little nervous because we've never done this before, but we can take our time, darling. In sweet time. Yes. [Rasputia leans into the doorway wearing lingerie] AAAHHH!!! AAAHHH!!! [Rasputia runs and jumps on Norbit, breaking their bed in the process] OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
 * HALT!!!!!! [Rasputia runs and jumps on Norbit, breaking their bed once again] 187, officer down!
 * Happy president's day! [Rasputia runs and jumps on Norbit and we see the bed is propped up with cinderblocks. Rasputia and Norbit both bounce up off the bed and come down again]  God bless America!
 * Yes, it did! And that makes you the Queen of Whores!

Kate Thomas

 * Wow, that was some nice show, Norbit.
 * [After seeing Rasputia] Oh, yeah! She's pretty!
 * I'm so sorry, Mrs. Rice.
 * I just don't trust you anymore.
 * Norbit, what are you doing?!
 * "What?! No! Don't be silly. You're married, you're here...

Mr. Wong

 * Norbit, where you go?! Why you run off?
 * "Whale, ho!"
 * Yeah, and a ho!
 * It just like old times. Maybe you two should go take poop together.
 * "Bingo! Right in the blowhole!

Rasputia

 * Damn it, Norbit! How many times I gotta tell you, don't be messin' with my car seat?!
 * That's MY wine cooler!
 * [repeated line] How YOU doin'!
 * [Norbit singing "Tuesday" in the shower] Say Tuesday again, and you ain't gonna see Wednesday!
 * I'ma show you how a bitch go down a slide!
 * It's your birthday?! Oh you think it's your birthday, huh?
 * That's what your stupid black butt get!
 * KATE, FOOL!!
 * Hell to the no!
 * Did somebody just call me a whale?

Dialogue

 * Norbit: But I never lost hope. I knew that someday I'd find another somebody to share my life with. All I had to do was just be patient.
 * [the two twin bullies smash his sandcastle]
 * 9-Year-Old Norbit: What did you do that for?
 * One of the Bullies: 'Cause we felt like it.
 * Both Bullies: What are you gonna do about it?
 * [The bullies pick on Norbit, by one of them simply shaking him on his side and the other beating him up. Suddenly, a 10-year-old Rasputia comes over and lifts the bullies up by the shirts]
 * 10-Year-Old Rasputia: [to the bullies] Leave him alone.
 * Both Bullies: Says who?
 * [Rasputia knocks the bullies' heads together and throws them off sideways]
 * 9-Year-Old Norbit: Who are you?
 * 10-Year-Old Rasputia: Rasputia. What's your name?
 * 9-Year-Old Norbit: Norbit.
 * 10-Year-Old Rasputia: "Norbit"? That's a stupid name.
 * 9-Year-Old Norbit: Why'd you beat those boys up?
 * 10-Year-Old Rasputia: To protect you. You got a girlfriend, Nesbitt?
 * 9-Year-Old Norbit: Uh, Norbit. No...
 * 10-Year-Old Rasputia: Well, you do now. Get up and hold my hand.
 * 9-Year-Old Norbit: Okay. [the source of Rasputia's catchphrase] How you doing?

 * Rasputia: [After seeing Norbit, trying to get out of the house] NORBIT!!
 * Norbit: Oh! Good Morning, Rasputia! Good Morning! How are you this morning?
 * Rasputia: Where the hell YOU going?!
 * Norbit: Oh... ummmm. Nowhere special. I was just going to Raging Waters.
 * Rasputia: Raging Waters?

 * Norbit: Rasputia, we took vows. I'm your husband. RASPUTIA!! WE TOOK VOWS, AND YOU CHEATED ON ME!!
 * Rasputia: IT NEVER HAPPENED!!
 * Norbit: YES IT DID!! [Rasputia stops and gasps] AND THAT MAKES YOU... THE QUEEN OF WHORES!!!
 * Rasputia: Aagh!! [Rasputia suddenly turns back and runs towards Norbit]

 * Norbit: [singing in the shower] Tuesday! Tuesday! Tuesday!
 * Rasputia: If say Tuesday again, you ain't won't see Wednesday.

 * Kate: I'm so sorry, Mrs. Rice.
 * Rasputia: "Mrs. Rice?!" My name ain't no damn Mrs. Rice!
 * Kate: Well, I just though that you were married to Norbit...

 * Norbit: Excuse me? What'd you say?
 * Lloyd the Dog: You heard me. Rub 'er out. Take 'er down. Ice her!
 * Norbit: Hey. Lloyd, you're talkin'.
 * Lloyd the Dog: She took my legs, Norbit. She took my legs! You know what it's like bein' a dog with no legs?! I can't raise one up to pee. And I can't even hump no more, Norbit! Humpin' was my THING!
 * Rasputia: What is this, Norbit?
 * [Norbit gets up]
 * Norbit: Some kinda... weird, satanic, potato art?
 * Rasputia: Mm-mm.
 * [Rasputia takes out a container of acid]
 * Rasputia: What's this?
 * Norbit: Looks like the acid, we used down at the quarry.
 * Rasputia: [stomps foot] RIGHT! But this is Miss Pretty Little Thang's little face. And Norbit, if you ever see her again, if you ever *talk* to 'er again, if you ever to so much as to think about the girl again, this is what's gonna happen to 'er.
 * [Rasputia pours the acid on the potato art of Kate]
 * Rasputia: How YOU doin'! You get the picture, Norbit?
 * [Scared, Norbit nods his head]

 * Norbit: Psst! Psst! Psst! Hey! Hey! Over here!
 * [Kate walks over to Norbit]
 * Kate: I need to talk to you. Do you know what was in those papers, you had me sign last night?
 * Norbit: Yeah, the construction permits.
 * Kate: No, that's not all.

 * Kate: Norbit.
 * Norbit: I I I I-- just-- just-- just go away, Kate! Get outta here!

 * Rasputia: [laughs after Kate doesn't believe Norbit's story about Deion is a corrupt goldigger/cheater] Well, well, well, Norbit. You lose again! Once a loser, always a loser. Now, come on! Let's go!
 * Norbit: [to Kate] Yeah, I thought you'd feel that way about it, Kate. And that's why I took the liberty of inviting some of Deion's ex-wives down so maybe they can tell you for themselves. LADIES!

Errico Malatesta

Errico Malatesta (December 14, 1853 – July 22, 1932) was an Italian anarcho-communist.

Quotes

 * Between man and his social environment there is a reciprocal action. Men make society what it is and society makes men what they are, and the result is therefore a kind of vicious circle.
 * The Method of Freedom: An Errico Malatesta Reader (2014)

 * Anarchy is a word that comes from the Greek, and signifies, strictly speaking, "without government": the state of a people without any constituted authority. Before such an organization had begun to be considered possible and desirable by a whole class of thinkers, so as to be taken as the aim of a movement (which has now become one of the most important factors in modern social warfare), the word “anarchy” was used universally in the sense of disorder and confusion, and it is still adopted in that sense by the ignorant and by adversaries interested in distorting the truth.
 * Anarchy (1891)

 * Anarchists generally make use of the word "State" to mean all the collection of institutions, political, legislative, judicial, military, financial, etc., by means of which management of their own affairs, the guidance of their personal conduct, and the care of ensuring their own safety are taken from the people and confided to certain individuals, and these, whether by usurpation or delegation, are invested with the right to make laws over and for all, and to constrain the public to respect them, making use of the collective force of the community to this end.
 * Anarchy (1891)

 * We anarchists do not want to emancipate the people; we want the people to emancipate themselves.
 * l'Agitazione (18 June 1897)

 * ... We are anarchists because of a feeling ... the love of mankind, and the fact of sharing the sufferings of others. If I ... eat I cannot enjoy what I am eating if I think that there are people dying of hunger; if I buy a toy for my child and am made happy by her pleasure, my happiness is soon embittered at seeing wide-eyed children standing by the shop window who could be made happy with a cheap toy but who cannot hae it; if I am enjoying myself, my spirit is saddened as soon as I recall that there are unfortunate fellow beings languishing in jail; if I study, or do a job I enjoy doing, I feel remorse at the thought that there are so many brighter than I who are obliged to waste their lives on exhausting, often useless, or harmful tasks. Clearly
 * Umanità Nova, September 16, 1922, in Life and Ideas "Introduction: Anarchy and Anarchism"

 * We follow ideas and not men, and rebel against this habit of embodying a principle in a man.
 * Speech to International Anarchist Congress (1907)

 * By anarchist spirit I mean that deeply human sentiment, which aims at the good of all, freedom and justice for all, solidarity and love among the people; which is not an exclusive characteristic only of self-declared anarchists, but inspires all people who have a generous heart and an open mind...
 * Umanita Nova (13 April 1922)

 * If you say that you reject violence when it exceeds the limits imposed by the needs of defense, they accuse you of pacifism, without understanding that violence is the whole essence of authoritarianism, just as the repudiation of violence is the whole essence of anarchism.
 * "Anarchism, Authoritarian Socialism and Communism" in Fede (28 October 1923); also in What Is Anarchism? : An Introduction edited by Donald Rooum (1992, 1995) p. 59

 * Ciò che più importa è che il popolo, gli uomini tutti, perdano gli istinti e le abitudini pecorili che la millenaria schiavitù ha loro ispirato ed apprendano a pensare ed agire liberamente.
 * What matters most is that people, all men, lose their sheepish instincts and habits that the millennial slavery inspired them, and they learn to think and act freely.

Note to the article 'Individualism and Anarchism' by Adams (1924)

 * "Note to the article 'Individualism and Anarchism' by Adams" in Pensiero e Volontà No. 15 (1 August 1924)

 * I claimed that "individualist anarchism and communist anarchism are the same, or nearly so, in terms of moral motivations and ultimate goals". I know that one could counter my claim with hundreds of texts and plenty of deeds of self-proclaimed individualist anarchists, which would demonstrate that individualist anarchist and communist anarchist are separated by something of a moral abyss. However, I deny that that kind of individualists can be included among anarchists, despite their liking for calling themselves so. If anarchy means non-government, non-domination, non-oppression by man over man, how can one call himself anarchist without lying to himself and the others, when he frankly claims that he would oppress the others for the satisfaction of his Ego, without any scruple or limit, other than that drawn by his own strength? He can be a rebel, because he is being oppressed and he fights to become an oppressor, as other nobler rebels fight to destroy any kind of oppression; but he sure cannot be anarchist. He is a would-be bourgeois, a would-be tyrant, who is unable to accomplish his dreams of dominion and wealth by his own strength and by legal means, and therefore he approaches anarchists to exploit their moral and material solidarity. Therefore, I think the question is not about "communists" and "individualists", but rather about anarchists and non-anarchists. And we, or at least many of us, were quite wrong in discussing a certain kind of alleged "anarchist individualism" as if it really was one of the various tendencies of anarchism, instead of fighting it as one of the many disguises of authoritarianism.

 * In the anarchist milieu, communism, individualism, collectivism, mutualism and all the intermediate and eclectic programmes are simply the ways considered best for achieving freedom and solidarity in economic life; the ways believed to correspond more closely with justice and freedom for the distribution of the means of production and the products of labour among men. Bakunin was an anarchist, and he was a collectivist, an outspoken enemy of communism because he saw in it the negation of freedom and, therefore, of human dignity. And with Bakunin, and for a long time after him, almost all the Spanish anarchists were collectivists (collective property of soil, raw materials and means of production, and assignment of the entire product of labour to the producer, after deducting the necessary contribution to social charges), and yet they were among the most conscious and consistent anarchists. Others for the same reason of defence and guarantee of liberty declare themselves to be individualists and they want each person, to have as individual property the part that is due to him of the means of production and therefore the free disposal of the products of his labour. Others invent more or less complicated system of mutuality. But in the long run it is always the searching for a more secure guarantee of freedom which is the common factor among anarchists, and which divides them into different schools.

An Anarchist Programme (1920)

 * An Anarchist Programme (1920), in Life and Ideas: The Anarchist Writings of Errico Malatesta, (2015 Edition) edited and translated by Vernon Richards.

 * 2. Ways and Means
 * We have outlined under a number of headings our objectives and the ideal for which we struggle.
 * But it is not enough to desire something; if one really wants it adequate means must be used to secure it. And these means are not arbitrary, but instead cannot but be conditioned by the ends we aspire to and by the circumstances in which the struggle takes place, for if we ignore the choice of means we would achieve other ends, possibly diametrically opposed to those we aspire to, and this would be the obvious and inevitable consequence of our choice of means. Whoever sets out on the highroad and takes a wrong turning does not go where he intends to go but where the road leads him.
 * It is therefore necessary to state what are the means which in our opinion lead to our desired ends, and which we propose to adopt.
 * Our ideal is not one which depends for its success on the individual considered in isolation. The question is of changing the way of life of society as a whole; of establishing among men relationships based on love and solidarity; of achieving the full material, moral and intellectual development not for isolated individuals, or members of one class or of a particular political party, but for all mankind—and this is not something that can be imposed by force, but must emerge through the enlightened consciences of each one of us and be achieved with the free consent of all.
 * Our first task therefore must be to persuade people.
 * We must make people aware of the misfortunes they suffer and of their chances to destroy them. We must awaken sympathy in everybody for the misfortunes of others and a warm desire for the good of all people.

Neither Democrats, Nor Dictators: Anarchists (1926)

 * "Né democratici né dittatoriali: anarchici", in Pensiero e Volontà (May 1926), as translated by Gillian Fleming, in The Anarchist Revolution (1995) edited by Vernon Richards (English translation online)

Naturally this presumes that all the individuals that make up a people are able to form an opinion and express it on all the subjects that interest them. It implies that everyone is politically and economically independent and therefore no-one, to live, would be obliged to submit to the will of others.
 * Theoretically "democracy" means popular government; government by all for everybody by the efforts of all. In a democracy the people must be able to say what they want, to nominate the executors of their wishes, to monitor their performance and remove them when they see fit.

And here I would make an aside to show how, based on reasoning backed by the evidence of past and present events, it is not even true that where there is government, namely authority, that authority resides in the majority and how in reality every "democracy" has been, is and must be nothing short of an "oligarchy" – a government of the few, a dictatorship. But, for the purposes of this article, I prefer to err on the side of the democrats and assume that there can really be a true and sincere majority government. Government means the right to make the law and to impose it on everyone by force: without a police force there is no government.
 * The "government of all the people", if we have to have government, can at best be only the government of the majority. And the democrats, whether socialists or not, are willing to agree. They add, it is true, that one must respect minority rights; but since it is the majority that decides what these rights are, as a result minorities only have the right to do what the majority wants and allows. The only limit to the will of the majority would be the resistance which the minorities know and can put up. This means that there would always be a social struggle, in which a part of the members, albeit the majority, has the right to impose its own will on the others, yoking the efforts of all to their own ends.

But do we, then, want a minority government? Certainly not. If it is unjust and harmful for a majority to oppress minorities and obstruct progress, it is even more unjust and harmful for a minority to oppress the whole population or impose its own ideas by force which even if they are good ones would excite repugnance and opposition because of the very fact of being imposed. And then, one must not forget that there are all kinds of different minorities. There are minorities of egoists and villains as there are of fanatics who believe themselves to be possessed of absolute truth and, in perfectly good faith, seek to impose on others what they hold to be the only way to salvation, even if it is simple silliness. There are minorities of reactionaries who seek to turn back the clock and are divided as to the paths and limits of reaction. And there are revolutionary minorities, also divided on the means and ends of revolution and on the direction that social progress should take. Which minority should take over? This is a matter of brute force and capacity for intrigue, and the odds that success would fall to the most sincere and most devoted to the general good are not favourable. To conquer power one needs qualities that are not exactly those that are needed to ensure that justice and well-being will triumph in the world.
 * Every new idea stems from one or a few individuals, is accepted, if viable, by a more or less sizeable minority and wins over the majority, if ever, only after it has been superseded by new ideas and new needs and has already become outdated and rather an obstacle, rather than a spur to progress.

We are for the abolition of the gendarme. We are for the freedom of all and for free agreement, which will be there for all when no one has the means to force others, and all are involved in the good running of society. We are for anarchy.'''
 * '''We are neither for a majority nor for a minority government; neither for democracy not for dictatorship.

Quotes about Malatesta

 * The Russian refugees are not the only rebels whose dream of a new world has been shattered. Enrico Malatesta, Anarchist, rebel, and one of the sweetest personalities in the revolutionary ranks, was also not spared the agony of the advent of fascism. Out of his great mind and his loving heart he had given lavishly over a period of sixty years to free the Italian workers and peasants. The realization of his dream was all but within reach when the riffraff of Mussolini spread like a plague over Italy, destroying everything so painfully built up by men like Malatesta, Fabri, and the other great Italian revolutionists. Bitter indeed must have been the last days of Malatesta.
 * Emma Goldman "The Tragedy of the Political Exiles" (1934) in The Nation

 * In the climate of growing working-class militancy in the 1880s and 1890s, revolutionary groups were active producing pamphlets and newspapers, organising mass meetings, putting on theatre performances and participating in strikes and demonstrations. Until the emergence of the Socialist Party as a significant force at the turn of the century, much of this activity was undertaken by anarchists, many of them, like Ettore Mattei and Enrico Malatesta, exiles from Europe.

Quotes

 * There is something radically wrong, [the anarchist] declares, in a system of society that functions and maintains its existence by the impetus of violence and force. He sees nothing praiseworthy in political society which has recourse to periodic wars, or need of jails, gallows and bludgeons--and it is because he is aware that these brutal weapons are the instruments of every government and State that he works for their destruction. … Unlike the politician, he does not regard dishonesty, brutality and avariciousness as natural characteristics of human nature, but as the inevitable consequences of coercion and frustration engendered by artificial law, he believes that these social evils are best eradicated not by greater penalties and further legislation, but by the free development of the latent forces of solidarity and sympathetic understanding which government and law so ruthlessly suppress. … Freedom will be possible when people understand and desire it--for man can only rule where others subserviently obey. Where none obey, none has power to rule.

Vernon Richards

Vernon Richards (1915 – 2001) was an Italian-British anarchist, editor, author and companion of Marie-Louise Berneri.

Quotes

 * Violence, contrary to popular belief, is not part of the anarchist philosophy. It has repeatedly been pointed out by anarchist thinkers that the revolution can neither be won, nor the anarchist society established and maintained, by armed violence. Recourse to violence then is an indication of weakness, not of strength, and the revolution with the greatest possibilities of a successful outcome will undoubtedly be the one in which there is no violence, or in which violence is reduced to a minimum, for such a revolution would indicate the near unanimity of the population in the objectives of the revolution. … Violence as a means breeds violence; the cult of personalities as a means breeds dictators--big and small--and servile masses; government--even with the collaboration of socialists and anarchists--breeds more government. Surely then, freedom as a means breeds more freedom, possibly even the Free Society! To Those who say this condemns one to political sterility and the Ivory Tower our reply is that 'realism' and their 'circumstantialism' invariably lead to disaster. We believe there is something more real, more positive and more revolutionary to resisting war than in participation in it; that it is more civilised and more revolutionary to defend the right of a fascist to live than to support the Tribunals which have the legal power to shoot him; that it is more realistic to talk to the people from the gutter than from government benches; that in the long run it is more rewarding to influence minds by discussion than to mould them by coercion.

Charlotte Wilson

Charlotte Mary Wilson (6 May 1854 – 28 April 1944) was an English Fabian and anarchist who co-founded Freedom newspaper in 1886 with Peter Kropotkin, and edited, published, and largely financed it during its first decade. She remained editor of Freedom until 1895.

Quotes

 * The genuine Anarchist looks with sheer horror upon every destruction, every mutilation of a human being, physical or moral. He loathes wars, executions and imprisonments, the grinding down of the worker's whole nature in a dreary round of toil, the sexual and economic slavery of women, the oppression of children, the crippling and poisoning of human nature by the preventable cruelty and injustice of man to man in every shape and form.

Talk:Simians

Is it appropriate to add the quote below to this article?
 * We admit that we are like apes, but we seldom realise that we are apes.
 * Richard Dawkins

On German Wikiquote, they seem to merge apes and monkeys (cf. de:Affe); it seems to me have a some sense since those two groups seem to be frequently confused in literature and ordinary conversation. --Aphaia 07:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Sections
Though theme articles do not normally have sections, as I was unstubbing this article I came to think that this should be an exception, for a few reasons. The first section covers general quotes about the subject(s)—generic ones from literature, music, etc., and the pictures fit well with that section. The second section is proverbs; I split the section because there are so many proverbs with respect to this subject and their formatting and sourcing is significantly different, thus, aesthetically, they sit better on their own—especially considering the (very luckily / coincidentally found) images which border the section, a tall/slender Japanese image of a monkey slipping from a tree for the Japanese proverb about monkeys falling, and a tall/slender Chinese image of monkeys for the Chinese proverb. This section should thus stand alone in terms of aesthetic balance, as proverbs are really quite different from the quotes in the general section. Placing the proverbs in the general section almost makes them look like visual "speed-bumps" because of their layout. The final section I added ("Simians and mankind") because the majority of quotes were not actually on the subject, but rather they used the subject to make a point about humans (I'll admit some of the quotes in "general" also do this, but to a different end / extent) or their relation to humans. I thought of this section as analogical to the sections in personal articles which are quotes about the person, rather than by. Furthermore, the visual (and contextual) weight of the quotes in the final section is vastly different than the first two sections, and, in my opinion, to a person looking for quotes on "monkeys" per se this, in terms of probability, would be the last thing they were looking for. No pictures could appropriately border the final section without appearing somewhat POV with respect to evolution, etc.

Is there anything more you can tell us about George Nicholson, for whom you have created an article without an introduction? Are you certain that he is same person as the printer in the Wikipedia article which you linked to? All I have been able to find out so far about Nicholson the printer is that he was also an early animal rights activist and author, but I can't find anything about him as author the "The Simplicity of Anarchism."
