Interwiki links
I happened to notice your addition of the following useful link to WQ:RD: In case you didn't know this, there's a simpler (and preferred) means to link across Wikimedia projects: Basically, you just need to append the other project's prefix to the article title and terminate it with a vertical bar (so that the prefix isn't shown). Some useful variations: A substantial (but not necessarily complete) table of prefixes can be found at Special:SiteMatrix (aka List of Wikimedia wikis in the "Special pages" list). Hope this helps. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 *  'The Canterville Ghost'  ('The Canterville Ghost')
 *  The Canterville Ghost  (The Canterville Ghost)
 * q: directs to Wikiquote from other projects. Likewise, s: jumps to Wikisource, wikt: to Wiktionary, etc.
 * w:en: is the long form, including language. Practice is to leave the "xx:" off for links between projects in the same language, but it's handy for interlanguage links, like Le Fantôme de Canterville.

 * A belated thank you. I'm fairly new even to the Web, let alone Wikiquote, but I'm slowly getting the hang of all this.  Antiquary 21:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reference desk work
Thank you very much for all your work on Reference desk. Finding quote sources and original usage is the most challenging task when compiling quotes, and very few editors ever work here at all. Your substantial, well-researched, and detailed contributions are absolutely invaluable! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * You're very welcome, I'm sure. Personally I find researching people's quotation queries enormously good fun, and the benefit to the querist is more or less a bonus.  Pity there aren't even more of them on Reference Desk. Antiquary 21:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * You might do some random page hunting. I've noticed that many of the people articles have such queries on their talk pages. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I may have been premature in saying I was getting the hang of this. How does using 'Random page' get me onto talk pages?  Or how else do I get onto people's talk pages?  I'm sure you've made a very useful suggestion if only I could follow it through. Antiquary 18:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)  EDIT: Aha! The penny has finally dropped.  No answer needed, thanks.  Antiquary 19:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry. I could have been clearer. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Chaucer
''I've expanded the Geoffrey Chaucer stub from four quotes to sixteen, but I don't believe I now have it formatted correctly. I wonder if you could take a look at it? Antiquary 14:33, 30 September 2006 (UTC)''

 * Before I start, please forgive my addition of a wiki link to Chaucer in your posting. It's a good idea to include such a link to make it easier for your correspondents (and you yourself if you are reviewing old discussions) to jump to the subject of the discussion.

 * You've formatted the Chaucer material as well as any poetry can be expected, I think. Linking only the first occurrence of titles is good. Everything else about the formatting is probably a subject of ongoing debate, but I'll list some points here:

 * Many editors feel poetry should be italicized. I don't believe we have any style guidelines or have had any recent discussion on this point. There are pros and cons to this idea.

''') to make them XHTML-compliant, but Wikimedia projects are still quite sloppy about this. (Consider that we can't even agree on whether there should be a space or no space before the slash.) I like to put spaces around the tag itself (e.g., "litel spir,  So thorugh") because I don't like cramming non-quote material into the actual quote bits, but that's a personal preference that most don't seem to follow around here. If Wikimedia ever gets around to enforcing XHTML compliance, we can fix these issues with a bot, so it's an issue that's mostly only addressed while one does other editing to an article.
 * It's a good idea to include terminating slashes in your HTML break tags (   or '''

 * We tend to favor double quotes wherever quote marks are called for, even for British material, because of the "split the difference" compromise worked out years ago at w:Wikipedia:Manual of Style, which is basically:
 * Using double quotes (American style) allows consistency and single inner quotes, and prevents some search problems.
 * Placing punctuation outside the quotes unless part of the quote (British style) makes more sense to editors sensitized by computer technology to syntactic token balance. (I don't know if anyone has ever explained it that way, but anyone familiar with the demands of logical punctuation in computer programming can see the illogic of the American system, which was, after, established by a single author working alone over 150 years ago.)
 * By insisting that both sides compromise a key principle, we promote both a consistent style and cooperation.
 * Of course, plenty of folks ignore their half of the compromise and complain endlessly about unreasonable British or American editors. Oh, well.

 * Source lines sometimes end in periods and sometimes don't. We don't really have a guideline on this. WP says no periods, but since they often use bullets for multi-sentence information, even they have problems with consistency.

 * Finally, we discourage the use of links within headings. They tend to complicate wiki links and (especially for Wikiquote links to Wikipedia) make it hard or sometimes impossible to include useful edit summaries, which are very, very important. On the other hand, we have no established format on how to provide a link to a work that is itself an entire section. WP doesn't have this problem, as its articles can always make a linked reference in the first sentence of the text section, but all we have are quotes. Some articles include an indented, italicized line providing either the title and year (which is somewhat redundant) or the full publication details for source purposes (more useful). Some include a footnote for each quote to a reference section that has the wiki links along with the full citation (also useful for proper sourcing). Some might even include the sources lines to provide the link (very redundant, but perhaps less jarring that the first two).

 * As you can see, there are many formatting issues, large and small, that aren't really established here at Wikiquote. I've taken the time to address them here to give you a summary of the kinds of things we worry about and often don't bother to address, since the more important goals are adding and properly sourcing quotes. You're welcome to join in the fun of debating these issues as they arise in different articles (with different subsets of editors!), and the occasional push, at WQ:VP, WQ:MOS, or Templates and its subpages, to establish policies. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that. I think - I think - I've got everything in Geoffrey Chaucer more or less into compliance with house style now. Antiquary 18:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

When to delete entries?
''Here's an elementary question, and one I should know the answer to by now: when does it accord with the etiquette of Wikiquote to delete quotations? I ask because I see that many of the various Attributed sections include entries which I find it impossible to believe were written by the supposed authors, and which I cannot find that anyone has ever attributed to those authors. I'm not talking here about quotations that are merely unsourced and (by me) unsourceable - that's what Attributed sections are for. In some ways it seems a shame to delete anything that someone else thought worth including, but then again it also seems a shame that Wikiquote should become a factory of misattributions. Antiquary 20:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)''

 * I don't think we have any policy or regular practice on this issue. My personal take is that "attributed" or "unsourced" quotes are, for the most part, not much better than rumor, so we lose nothing when someone deletes them. There are, of course, well-known attributions without sources, especially for the more famous of our quotees, and removing any attributed quote decreases the chance someone will work to find a source for it. But given the overall editing activity at Wikiquote, the commonality of widespread mistakes in quote attributions, and the not infrequent attempts of some editors to introduce bogus or misrepresented quotes, I think we need to encourage the very few people who are willing to remove material to do so, especially when the quotes are implausible. I'd remove such a quote with an edit summary like "rm unsourced, unlikely quote" to make clear the reason (and hopefully encourage any objector to make a bit more effort to source or otherwise justify it). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks: I see my way clearer now. "Removing any attributed quote decreases the chance someone will work to find a source for it".  Good point, but I don't propose to remove anything that I think could conceivably have any basis in fact.  My personal rule would be: no findable source, completely implausible, no-one even it attributes it to him...Delete it. Antiquary 18:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Samuel Johnson
It appears that quotes from the Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides are now in two chronological places on the Johnson page: one group in 1773 and the other in 1785. The quote about writing aphoristically, for example, is now duplicated. I just wanted to let you know in case you were going to be making more additions from the Journal; if not, I'll combine the quotes myself - probably for 1773, the date of the journey, rather than 1785, the date of publication. - InvisibleSun 20:45, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How careless of me not to notice that! Yes, I quite agree with all you say. I don't plan to add anything more just yet. Antiquary 20:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza
Esperanza has nothing that can be used as a chat room. --Sir James Paul 03:45, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Sherlock Holmes
Please feel free to start cleaning up the article! I only intended to check the quotes for accuracy with my print copy of the "Adeventures", but to be honest I never got around to it. First real life interfered, then I just plain forgot about it. If you're looking for formatting suggestions, I rather like the Firefly (TV series) page. I think their template could be adapted to the purpose. Kerowyn 07:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

George II
Another of your excellent articles! A few pernickety points of style: Sorry to be a pain, but it's these little details that make the place look smart. Keep up the good work!-- Poetlister 20:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Royalty should have political-stub not people-stub
 * 2) No need to use DEFAULTSORT when the article title as it stands is hte correct sort; it just increases the nload on the servers
 * 3) No need to have a British category if you already have a British monarch
 * 4) Always have a death (or living person) category

Invitation
Would it interest you to become a Wikiquote administrator? You've contributed so much to this site. If it isn't, however, something that would appeal to you, I hope that you will pardon this intrusion. - InvisibleSun 20:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to second the invitation.--Cato 20:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Goodness, this is certainly an unexpected honour! I'm very pleased to have been asked, but it wouldn't be a good idea for me to accept.  You see, I'm the sort of man who can only concentrate on the things he shouldn't really be doing.  I can be very industrious at idling, such as I do here, but making me an admin would be the first step towards making it a chore for me to log on to Wikiquote, and that would be the end of it.  Much better that I should carry on creating pages, and doing the odd bit of maintenance on the side.  But thanks again for the vote of confidence.  Cheers! Antiquary 20:27, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

For your information
As a member of this community you may wish to take a look at the Requests for Checkuser rights for Cato here. My apologies if you would prefer not to have received this but there is a requirement for 25 affirmative votes for the rights to be granted. If you have any queries feel free to ask me.-- Poetlister 13:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Copyright Cleanup Project
Many thanks for taking part in this work. You've already done so well on The Fellowship of the Ring. - InvisibleSun 22:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Too kind! I'll never get into the Tolkien fan club now, but then none of us are doing this to be popular. In any case Tolkien has to be a priority: his publishers sue. --Antiquary 12:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your kind words supporting my nomination for adminship. I will try not to make a mess as I learn to use the tools. ~ Ningauble 02:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

PROD various mnemonics pages
Normally, articles that have been voted on previously ought to be re-nominated for a vote rather than prod, but I'm not complaining: Pages full of things that are both unsourced and trivial just attract made up stuff. If anyone does object, just put them to a vote. I am pretty sure the consensus of current community sentiment would be to delete them. ~ Ningauble 01:08, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Antiquary. I relpied to your comment on my talk page ~ Ningauble 19:22, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I removed the prods for that very reason. Take it to VfD; there's a chance that it'll get improved there, and if not, well, at least more sets of eyes have seen them. EVula // talk // ☯  // 23:22, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

re: Mnemonics heading
No worries. Cirt (talk) 19:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Adminship
Ever thought of going for adminship? Cirt (talk) 20:04, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This very question was raised in the section headed "Invitation" above, and I'm afraid the reasons I gave there for thinking it a hazardous idea still apply. So,  thanks and get thee behind me, Cirt! --Antiquary 22:04, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah I read it and understand. However you would be able to help out with vandalism. :( Cirt (talk) 22:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 'Tis a fine job you do, indeed. None can fault your declining the "honor" of taking out the rubbish as well, but don't be surprised if it comes up every year or so. ~ Ningauble 22:23, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Doctor Who: Eighth Doctor Quotes
The last quote you deleted wasn't from the movie, but an audio production. As such, it did not conflict with the number of comments recommended. I'm adding it back for the moment, if you would like to argue about it, please bring it up on the talk page.198.146.57.248

The Simpsons
Thanks for taking on the Herculean task of cleaning up The Simpsons, which has long been an embarrassment to Wikiquote. I thought it would be a Sisyphean task as well, and can hardly believe did not spark immeniate contention. Your good work has inspired me to do more copyright cleanup myself. ~ Ningauble 14:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the positive feedback. Trimming The Simpsons may be Herculean but there are enough good jokes to make it quite entertaining as well.  Personally I'll be congratulating whoever takes on Beavis and Butt-Head or Warhammer 40,000: greater love hath no man...  --Antiquary 17:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikiquote - Franz Kafka
I've seen that the following quote of Franz Kafka was removed because of being unsourced:

"We are as forlorn as children lost in the wood. When you stand in front of me an look at me, what do you know of the grief's that are in me and what do I know of yours. And if I were to cast myself down before you and tell you, what more would you know about me that you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful? For that reason alone we human beings ought to stand before one another as reverently, as reflectively, as lovingly, as we would before the entrance to Hell."

This is the source: Letter to Oskar Pollak, 27 January 1904, in: Franz Kafka: Briefe 1902-1924. S. Fischer Verlag. Lizenzausgabe für Europa von Schocken Books New York 1958, p. 27.

- Soulslayer (from german Wikipedia)

 * Thanks. I'll move the quote to the Sourced section. --Antiquary 09:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

John Taylor
On 9 March 2009, you deleted a page for John Taylor ( actually, the note says it was moved to a page for John_ Taylor_(Latter_Day_Saints). This John Taylor was the third President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1880 to 1887. I arrived at the John_Taylor page by following a link from the page for Poor_Richard's_Almanack, expecting to arrive at a page for John Taylor, the English "water poet" (1580-1653). Early prose and poetical works of John Taylor, the water poet (1580-1653), Taylor, pub. Hamilton, Adams and Co. (1888), can be found with a Google Books search ; a down-loadable PDF file is also available. FYI. Archimedes (talk) 11:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Four Quartets
I wanted to thank you for your trimming of The Four Quartets. The problem just lasted for such a long time. I didn't pay much attention afterward, and I was delighted to see it fixed. :) Ottava Rima 16:40, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Caesar: "Fear itself"
Hi Antiquary, I moved the alleged Caesar quote "nothing to fear but fear itself" from the main Caesar article to the article's discussion page, because there are neither primary nor secondary sources referring to this saying. Also added some notes & explanations. —85.178.66.138 16:31, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Nehru: "Life is a game of cards . . ."
Hello Antiquary. I haven't a clue how it all works on Wikiquotes but as your name appears at the head of the Nehru Discussion page I thought I'd try you first. I think there is no doubt that it was Nehru who enunciated this interesting analogy. It was Norman Cousins who transmitted it, possibly in his 'Talks with Nehru' published in 1951 but I don't have access to that book. Cousins certainly refers to it in his broadcast c1951 "A game of cards"  and there is a prolonged reference to it in "WORLD CITIZEN Norman Cousins Interviewed by Andrew D. Basiago VOLUME I Completed under the auspices of the Oral History Program University of California Los Angeles Copyright © 1992 The Regents of the University of California " Cousins gives several different versions of the quotation. The nearest in time would be the radio programme transcript c 1951 which gives "Free will and determinism, I was told, are like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism. The way you play your hand represent free will." but that is clearly reported speech. The book 'Talks with Nehru' is based on tapes of the actual discussions Cousins had with Nehru, so whatever version it provides [supposing it does] would obviously be definitive. Of the three versions on the "talk page" the first seems to me to be closest. Sorry to rabbit on, and sorry if I'm unfamiliar with the decorum of the forum, but I very much like the analogy and would be sorry to see it excluded. Francisgladstone

Rabindranath Tagore
Possible source for "Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come." Variants: Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come. Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.

"death [is] not a call to annihilation but to eternal life. It is the extinction of the lamp in the morning light; not the abolition of the sun." –Tagore in "The Problem of Self" http://www.online-literature.com/tagore-rabindranath/sadhana/4/

New user needs help
Hi. I saw a page you created, Wole Soyinka. I am a new user although experienced on Wikipedia. I need your help with editing on Wikiquotes. Will you be willing to guide me through?

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 Vocaro. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vocaro~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 23:37, 17 March 2015 (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 Calderal. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Calderal~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.

Benjamin Breeg
From what I can gather from the results of a google search and the Wikipedia page for The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, this isn't a real person (certainly not a notable one, if real) but just a name in an Iron Maiden song. The single quote is attributed to a member of a non-notable (no WP page, ~350 Google results) band. —LrdChaos 12:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. —LrdChaos 12:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is also a Benjamin breeg page newly created on Wikipedia and already nominated for deletion. Even those who want to keep the Wikipedia page are admitting that Breeg is probably a hoax; they consider him, however, a notable fictional character.  Whether he's a fiction/hoax or a real-life obscurity, there is no reason to keep the Breeg page here at Wikiquote.  Any quotes from the album, should they be provided, would belong to Iron Maiden, who do not yet have a page on Wikiquote. - InvisibleSun 14:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Melissa Farley

Melissa Farley (born 1942) is a feminist research psychologist who studies the effects of prostitution, pornography, and trafficking on women, men, and children in prostitution. She is Director of Prostitution Research and Education, a San Francisco nonprofit organization.

Quotes

 * Prostitution myths justify the existence of prostitution, promote misinformation about prostitution, and contribute to a social climate that exploits and harms not only prostituted women but all women.
 * "Attitudes toward Prostitution and Acceptance of Rape Myths" in Journal of Applied Social Psychology Vol. 32, issue 9 (2002), p. 1790 - 1796; co-written with A. Cotton, and R. Baron

 * Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), commonly occurs among prostituted women, and is indicative of their extreme emotional distress. PTSD is characterized by anxiety, depression, insomnia, irritability, flashbacks, emotional numbing, and hyperalertness.  In nine countries, we found that sixty-eight percent of those in prostitution met criteria for a diagnosis of PTSD, a prevalence that was comparable to battered women seeking shelter, rape survivors seeking treatment,  and survivors of state-sponsored torture. Across widely varying cultures on five continents, the traumatic consequences of prostitution were similar.
 * "Prostitution and Trafficking in 9 Countries: Update on Violence and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder" in Journal of Trauma Practice 2 (2003), p. 33-74; co-written with A. Cotton, J. Lynne, S. Zumbeck, T. Spiwak, M. E. Reyes, D. Alvarez, U Sezgin

 * We feminists think that women deserve the right NOT to prostitute.
 * Unequal (2005)

 * For many women, the experience of prostitution stems from the historical trauma of colonization.
 * "Prostitution in Vancouver: Violence and the Colonization of First Nations Women" in Transcultural Psychiatry 42 (2005), p. 242 - 271; co-written with J Lynne and A Cotton

 * Within the gendered institution of prostitution, race and class create a hierarchy with indigenous women at its lowest point.
 * "Prostitution in Vancouver: Violence and the Colonization of First Nations Women" in Transcultural Psychiatry 42 (2005), p. 242 - 271; co-written with J Lynne and A Cotton

Prostitution, Trafficking, and Cultural Amnesia (2006)

 * "Prostitution, Trafficking, and Cultural Amnesia: What We Must Not Know in Order To Keep the Business of Sexual Exploitation Running Smoothly" in Yale Journal of Law and Feminism Vo. 18 (2006), p. 109 - 144

 * U.S. prostitution can be understood in the context of the cultural normalization of prostitution as a glamorous and wealth-producing “job” for girls who lack emotional support, education, and employment opportunities. The sexual exploitation of children and women in prostitution is often indistinguishable from incest, intimate partner violence, and rape.

 * Sexist and racist economic policies in the United States such as a lack of educational opportunity for poor families and a lack of sustainable income from many jobs contribute to women’s and girls’ entry into prostitution. The economic and legal vulnerability of undocumented immigrant women in the United States is exploited in prostitution/pornography.

 * Prostitution/trafficking/pornography systematically discriminate against women, against the young, against the poor and against ethnically subordinated groups. Specific acts commonly perpetrated against women in prostitution and pornography are the same as the acts defining what torture is: verbal sexual harassment, forced nudity, rape, sexual mocking, physical sexual harassment such as groping, and not permitting basic hygiene. The psychological consequences of these acts are the same whether it is named state-sponsored torture or prostitution.

 * Some words hide the truth. Just as torture can be named enhanced interrogation, and logging of old-growth forests is named the Healthy Forest Initiative, words that lie about prostitution leave people confused about the nature of prostitution and trafficking. The words "sex work" make the harms of prostitution invisible.

 * Prostitution is sexual violence that results in massive economic profit for some of its perpetrators. The sex industry, like other global enterprises, has domestic and international sectors, marketing sectors, a range of physical locations out of which it operates in each community, is controlled by many different owners and managers, and is constantly expanding as technology, law, and public opinion permit.

 * Prostitution is advertised online, where it is indistinguishable from pornography. The Internet has expanded the reach of traffickers and it has intensified the humiliation and violence of prostitution. Pornography is one specific means of trafficking women for the purpose of selling women into prostitution.

 * While feminists have spoken about prostitution as the buying and selling of women’s bodies, one trick more specifically explained what he did in prostitution as "renting an organ for ten minutes." Another explained, "Guys get off on controlling women, they use physical power to control women, really.  If you look at it, [prostitution is] paid rape.  You’re making them subservient during that time, so you’re the dominant person.  She has to do what you want."

 * Postmodern descriptions of prostituted women as sex workers promotes an acceptance of conditions that in any other employment context would be correctly described as sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, or rape. Women’s experiences of violence and their psychological response to it cannot be theorized away.

Malcolm Lowry

Malcolm Lowry (28 July 1909 – 26 June 1957) was an English poet and novelist best known for his novel Under the Volcano.

Under the Volcano (1947)
Page numbers without annotation are from the following edition: New American Library, 1971, LCC 65-11640. Page numbers annotated with an asterisk are from the Penguin Classics edition, ISBN-13: 978-0-14-118225-4.

 * No se puede vivir sin amar.
 * Translation: You can´t live without loving.
 * Ch. I (p. 6)

 * Though tragedy was in the process of becoming unreal and meaningless it seemed one was still permitted to remember the days when an individual life held some value and was not a mere misprint in a communiqué.
 * Ch. I (*p. 11)

 * There was no mistaking, even in the uncertain light, the hand, half crabbed, half generous, and wholly drunken, of the Consul himself, the Greek e’s, the flying buttresses of d’s, the t’s like lonely wayside crosses save where they crucified an entire word.
 * Ch. I (p. 35)

 * The howling pariah dogs, the cocks that herald dawn all night, the drumming, the moaning that will be found later white plumage huddled on telegraph wires in back gardens or fowl roosting in apple trees, the eternal sorrow that never sleeps of great Mexico.
 * Ch. I (p. 35)

 * And this is how I sometimes think of myself, as a great explorer who has discovered some extraordinary land from which he can never return to give his knowledge to the world: but the name of this land is hell.
 * Ch. I (p. 36)

 * What beauty can compare to that of a cantina in the early morning?
 * Ch. II (p. 49)

 * For a time they confronted each other like two mute unspeaking forts.
 * Ch. III (p. 75)

 * How shall the murdered man convince his assassin he will not haunt him.
 * Ch. III (p. 79)

 * But my lord, Yvonne, surely you know by this time I can’t get drunk however much I drink.
 * Ch. III (p. 85)

 * Nothing in the world was more terrible than an empty bottle! Unless it was an empty glass.
 * Ch. III (p. 86)

 * The will of man is unconquerable. Even God cannot conquer it.
 * Ch. III (*p. 97)

 * There was something in the wild strength of this landscape, once a battlefield, that seemed to be shouting at him, a presence born of that strength whose cry his whole being recognized as familiar, caught and threw back into the wind, some youthful passage of courage and pride — the passionate, yet so nearly always hypocritical, affirmation of one’s soul perhaps, he thought, of the desire to be, to do, good, what was right.
 * Ch. IV (p. 124)

 * In the final analysis there was no one you could trust to drink with you to the bottom of the bowl.
 * Ch. V (*p. 147)

 * He had peered out at the garden, and it was as though bits of his eyelids had broken off and were flittering and jittering before him, turning into nervous shapes and shadows, jumping to the guilty chattering in his mind, not quite voices yet, but they were coming back, they were coming back; a picture of his soul as a town appeared once more before him, but this time a town ravaged and stricken in the black path of his excess and shutting his burning eyes he had thought of the beautiful functioning of the system in those who were truly alive, switches connected, nerves rigid only in real danger, and in nightmareless sleep now calm, not resting, yet poised: a peaceful village.
 * Ch. V (*p. 148)

 * In the war to come correspondents would assume unheard of importance, plunging through flame to feed the public its little gobbets of dehydrated excrement.
 * Ch. VI (*p. 157)

 * Yes, I do love you, I have all the love in the world left for you, only that love seems so far away from me and so strange too, for it is as though I could almost hear it, a droning or weeping, but far, far away, and a sad lost sound, it might be either approaching or receding, I can’t tell which.
 * Ch. VII (*p. 200)

 * And how could he know whether it was a good omen or not without another drink?
 * Ch. VII (*p. 201)

 * There was no callousness in their faces, no cruelty. Death they knew, better than the law, and their memories were long. They sat ranked now, motionless, frozen, discussing nothing, without a word, turned to stone. It was natural to have left the matter to the men. And yet, in these old women it was as if, through the various tragedies of Mexican history, pity, the impulse to approach, and terror, the impulse to escape (as one had learned at college), having replaced it, had finally been reconciled by prudence, the conviction it is better to stay where you are.
 * Ch. VIII (pp. 248-249)

 * The poor old creature seemed now indeed like someone being drawn, lured, into events of which he has no real comprehension, by people with whom he wishes to be friendly, even to play, who entice him by encouraging that wish and by whom, because they really despise and desire to humilate him, he is finally entangled.
 * Ch. IX (*p. 259)

 * What is man but a little soul holding up a corpse?
 * Ch. X (p. 287)

 * Suddenly he saw them, the bottles of aguardiente, of anís, of jerez, of Highland Queen, the glasses, a babel of glasses—towering, like the smoke from the train that day—built to the sky, then falling, the glasses toppling and crashing, falling downhill from the Generalife Gardens, the bottles breaking, bottles of Oporto, tinto, blanco, bottles of Pernod, Oxygènée, absinthe, bottles smashing, bottles cast aside, falling with a thud on the ground in parks, under benches, beds, cinema seats, hidden in drawers at Consulates, bottles of Calvados dropped and broken, or bursting into smithereens, tossed into garbage heaps, flung into the sea, the Mediterranean, the Caspian, the Caribbean, bottles floating in the ocean, dead Scotchmen on the Atlantic highlands—and now he saw them, smelt them, all, from the very beginning—bottles, bottles, bottles, and glasses, glasses, glasses, of bitter, of Dubonnet, of Falstaff, Rye, Johnny Walker, Vieux Whiskey blanc Canadien, the apéritifs, the digestifs, the demis, the dobles, the noch ein Herr Obers, the et glas Araks, the tusen taks, the bottles, the bottles, the beautiful bottles of tequila, and the gourds, gourds, gourds, the millions of gourds of beautiful mescal . ..
 * Ch. X (p. 292)

 * God, how pointless and empty the world is! Days filled with cheap and tarnished moments succeed each other, restless and haunted nights follow in bitter routine: the sun shines without brightness, and the moon rises without light.
 * Ch. XII (p. 346)

 * I want your life filling and stirring me. I want your happiness beneath my heart and your sorrows in my eyes and your peace in the fingers of my hand.
 * Ch. XII (p. 346)

 * I wake to a darkness in which I must follow myself endlessly, hating the I who so eternally pursues and confronts me. If we could rise from our misery, seek each other once more, and find again the solace of each other’s lips and eyes.
 * Ch. XII (p. 346)

 * How alike are the groans of love, to those of the dying.
 * Ch. XII (p. 351)

 * "What for you lie?" the Chief of Rostrums repeated in a glowering voice. "You say your name is Black. No es Black." He shoved him backwards toward the door. "You say you are a wrider." He shoved him again. "You no are a wrider." He pushed the Consul more violently, but the Consul stood his ground. "You are no a de wrider, you are de espider, and we shoota de espiders in Méjico."
 * Ch. XII (p. 371)

 * "Christ," he remarked, puzzled, "this is a dingy way to die."
 * Ch. XII (p. 373)

Page revamp
I revamped this page into a quasi-list page. The only thing that is not a list to another article is the "about" quote. Since Conan is written by many different authors and used in various media forms, I thought this was the best way to create this page. --Pinkkeith 14:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Jade Empire

Jade Empire is a role-playing game by Bioware released on X-box in 2005 and PC in 2007. It centers around two spiritually gifted martial arts students on a quest to rescue their teacher from the emperor and collect the pieces of an amulet that will allow the spirits of the recently deceased all across the kingdom to pass, set in an orientalist fantasy world inspired by Chinese history, cinema and myth, featuring a constructed language.

The Player
(Note: these are only choices that the player can potentially make)

 * [to Kai Lan the Serpent, suggesting that Black Whirlwind fight him in his or her stead] There have been other substitutions. Mine won't be the first.
 *  (Note: This quote refers to Kai Lan replacing one of the Guild's fighters with a Toad Demon in an earlier match.)

 * [to Sun Li]: You were a great teacher. It is a shame that your skill was wasted on evil ambition.
 * [to Captain Sen, before Aishi the Mournful Blade kills him] If I help you, you'll only tell the others what I've done. I have to let you go.
 * (Note: The player is repeating Captain Sen's excuse for not saving a child whose drowning he caused when he and Aishi were children.)

 * [CF player about Gao the Lesser] Empty threats. Let him argue with the worms.

Dawn Star

 * [going CF] I should... I should fight more. I should spit more. I should slap the princess in her smirking face, and I should... I should...I should look at you without fear of what might happen, because if I grow to need you and if you *leave*, ancestors help me, you will regret it.

Master Li/Sun Li the Glorious Strategist

 * Sometimes all you will learn in defeat is that you have been defeated.

 * Your abilities have grown immensely. But it also does my heart good to see that you remember the basics of what I taught... even the flaws.

 * [on Death's Hand]: You know who he is, but what he is defies you, defies your skill. He is more than Sun Kin ever was.

 * [last words] You surprise me yet again. I'm a better teacher... than I thought...

 * [At the end of the credits] Once, when you were a child, you fell from a great height and cut your head clean off. I told you to walk it off, because, the cut was clean. And then you could punch a mountain... from space!

Sagacious Zu

 * Oh dear. This will be unpleasant for someone.
 * (Note: The player has found out that a merchant's wife that he/she rescued is not the "Fen" that he was searching for. "Fen" is soon revealed to be the merchant's ox.)

 * I have little use for morals, but honor?
 * It would be a great inconvenience if we were all suddenly slaughtered.
 * Your best is not always enough. That's why it is used as a comforter after failure. "You tried your best, but death consumed the nation anyway. Sorry."
 * [last words] I wasn't looking for victory... just a few seconds...
 * (Death's Hand has mortally wounded Zu, but has also damaged the support pillars, causing the chamber to collapse on both of them and allowing the player to escape.)

 * I have moved with you, hidden, trying to keep focus. I give you all that I am, all that I was. Restore what has been corrupted.

The Black Whirlwind

 * My fill? I have been sated from battle, but never filled!
 * If there is no wine, there should be fighting!
 * [When the Whirlwind is killing Lotus Assassins atop the Temple of Dirge, a voice sounds every 20 kills, possibly that of a god... or just in his own head]
 * Untold Slaughter!
 * Bringer of Pain!
 * Destroyer of Lives!
 * Just Kill the Golem Already, would you?
 * Hahaha! Come to my axes! All of you!
 * That racket is distracting me from the cries of my enemies. Sky better have a good reason for ringing that bell.
 * [upon entering the Lotus Assassin's fortress] These Lotus Assassins really aren't all that tough; they're just trained well. I've seen men a lot tougher than this run scared from a fight, but not these guys. They're like well-trained dogs, and just as dangerous... though they smell slightly better, and I'm willing to bet they wouldn't taste as good over a plate of rice. Damn it, now I'm getting hungry... and thirsty. Let's get this finished so I can get something to drink.
 * So we serve Gang until we find the information we need? I'd rather fight the golem army. That would draw out their leaders, whether Death's Hand or the Emperor.
 * [to the Overzealous Lotus Acolytes] You look to be worth about a silver and a half. What do we need to prove to you?
 * [Acolyte threatens] A foolish, foolish mistake. You have no idea.
 * [reaction to Master Gang] He thinks it's too tough, but impossible odds make the best fights.
 * [after Master Gang uses the word "machinations"] He thinks we will die. That means there will be fighting. I like him.
 * [in palace]I always figured if I saw the Emperor it would be for my own execution. 'Course, the day's still young.

Wild Flower

 * [after Master Gang uses the word "machinations"] He uses big words, but he seems small. He lets others fight for him.
 * The Guardian says for me to be cheerful, and to not repeat what he says all the... oh.
 * [to the overzealous Lotus Acolytes] Bullies will meet the Guardian... or worse.
 * I think Mister Gang is a jerk.

Ya Zhen

 * What do you want? I owe you a great deal for freeing me. This body should serve well... as long as it lasts. Your mortal fates are such interesting things. Such amusing toys. But if you get what you seek here, and your ambition is realized... remember a faithful servant. Ha! And if you fail... well, then I'll have your soul to toy with, anyway, as with this girl.
 * [at the sight of the cut open Water Dragon] I marvel at the mind that came up with this. To cast his gaze so far above his station to his own makers is... admirable.
 * The time has come, mortal! I won't share this body any longer. I'll destroy you, Chai Ka, and this girl if I have to!
 * [battle with Chai Ka inside Wild Flower's mind] Grr... he presumes to trap us, too. He is too strong to fight alone, but you can use the strength of your followers. What else are they good for?
 * [If the player sides with Chai Ka] You think your treachery will kill me, mortal?! As long as the corruption exists in this world, I will endure. Now die, along with this stupid girl!
 * [pre Dirge battle]I don't like these odds, but death is not as final for me as it is for you, so what do I care?

Kang the Mad

 * I am Kang the Mad. I make things explode, and I make things fly, and I'm very good at both. The things I fly tend to survive. The things I explode... not so much.
 * You handled the guards well, with your punching and kicking. I was going to make more of an explody thing, but the kicking worked well, too.
 * Next time I hide something, I'm packing explosives around it. Explosives shaped like silver bananas! Stops thieves, monkeys and monkey thieves in one fell swoop.
 * The things I fly tend to survive. The things I explode...not so much.
 * If you stage a combat related accident for Gao, like say, falling down a flight of punches, I'll replace the inductors on the Dragonfly and we can fly away!
 * You are sure to profit from this partnership. In fact, I've never accidentally exploded anyone traveling *with* me, so that alone is a benefit of my presence.
 * Interruptions... who designed that Dragonfly... build something to make his sandals explode...
 * Well, it's much like the dilemma of the centipede. If he relaxes and lets things happen, he can walk naturally all day long, his hundred legs not missing a step. But, if he thinks too hard about the complexity of what he's doing, those legs might crash into the teahouse and kill everyone. A valuable lesson.

Henpecked Hou

 * That was astonishing! I haven't seen such martial skills in an eatery since the last time I added ginger to my wife's hot and sour soup!
 * It would seem we have our work cut out for us. But as my darling wife likes to say, when things are tough... quit your whining and get to work.
 * As I mentioned, I am but a simple bun master, with a dear wife who has turned my life into a miserable cesspool devoid of humor and excitement. Bless her soul.
 * Life is not all bad though. I may have lost all my dignity and self-respect, along with my ability to fight or even make a tight fist, but I am a bun master of some renown.
 * You’re beginning to sound like my wife. Where were you last night? Why were you talking to that woman? Why do you smell like a goat? Always with the questions!
 * I still can't believe it's that easy to become a Lotus Assassin. If I had known sooner I would have joined their ranks as soon as possible. It would be brutal work, with little reward, and there's a good chance I'd die a hideous, painful death, but it couldn't *all* be better than married life... could it?
 * [on being bound to the character] While my duties don't seem to have changed much, I find this form of servitude even more degrading than the kind my gentle wife imposes.
 * [upon entering the Lotus Assassin fortress]I've seen many things in my life that scare me, many of them with you, I might add. This place terrifies me. My knees are shaking so badly I'm going to have bruises. These Assassins are very well trained. They obey without question, pay no heed to their pain or their needs, and they work tirelessly for their masters, with little reward. Come to think of it, they live a life much like mine. But then, they don't have to share a bed with my wife

Silk Fox/The Heavenly Lily/Princess Sun Lian

 * Notice the painted face? This one only pretends at beauty.
 * [upon entering the Lotus Assassin fortress] I hate the assassins. Can't they see the strings that pull at them? They are unquestioning, and even believe they do my father's bidding by following Death's Hand

Sky

 * [upon entering the Lotus Assassins fortress] I never expected to see the inside of this place, and, frankly, I wish I hadn't.

The Water Dragon

 * You are meant to learn, but not too much. To see, but not too clearly. To succeed, but not completely.
 * If you fail in your destiny, your true enemy falls with you. And if he falls, so do we all. You must win, but in doing so, you will lose.
 * [when the player has learned her true identity] Names are fleeting, given so you kind can point and say "That is mine." All words... names, history, dreams... they die on your lips.
 * [when guiding you through the underworld] I am the Water Dragon, Guardian of the underworld and shephard of the dead.

Death's Hand

 * I believed the words of my brother, thinking him wise beyond my understanding. Had I known what would happen, I would have fought to stop them both.
 * [when player decides to use Water Dragon's power for to rule the Empire] This is where it begins. A question of the similar intent was the start of all our grief.
 * To make things better... that was our wish. We failed.

Other characters

 * Gate Guard: [regaining consciousness] Ugh... my head feels like a war drum, and the battle did not go in the Empire's favor.
 * Minister of Culture's Servant: [to the player] Your physique seems exceptional. Clearly you are a peasant- a noble could afford sloth.
 * Lucky Cho: You should have won that fight, Zheng, but you suddenly developed that blind spot, didn't you! Did the glint of silver get in your eye?
 * Emperor Sun Hai: In my youth, I ruled dutifully, but nature does not respect titles.
 * Pirate: Oh, certainly! We'll just sit back and let you stroll upstairs to kill our leader! Would it help if we drew you a map to his room?
 * Forest Shadow: [chuckling] I had not thought to drop a mountain on my ancient foe, but your kind is always so resourceful.
 * Minister Sheng: Woe to Minister Sheng, that his only ally is an uneducated simpleton!
 * Student Lin: You could just be pouring honey in my ears, but that's not half as fun as other places it could go.
 * Student Lin: [to male player] "Am I interested in you defeating me again, like you so often do? Oooh, of course I am! Imagine the gossip if we keep "studying together."
 * Gao the Lesser: So you are at their beck and call? A service animal for those too weak to protect themselves. An endless, foolish road to go down. There are always victims, always weaklings. You could live a thousand lives, and still someone would be begging for your help.
 * Yaoru: [upon being called a pompous ass by the player] Your jibes can nary prick the armor of my pride; they are blunted barbs forged by the sputtering flames of your lesser intellect.

Dialogue

 * Sing: [referring to her husband's precious ox] "Do I have to slaughter that thing for you to show me some attention?"
 * Merchant Hing: "No dear"
 * Sing: Are you lying again?"
 * Merchant Hing: "No dear"
 * Sing: "Are you listening to me?"
 * Merchant Hing: "No dear"
 * [SLAP!]

 * Forest Shadow: "So, my ancient foe is dead'"
 * Player: "I'd have given my life to see that abomination dead."
 * Black Whirlwind: "I'd have given your life too. It's a fair trade!"

Cook Teh & Dishwasher Wong - Tien's Landing second conversation
 * Cook Teh: "Oh, again you are here. What is it now? Maybe you need directions? I have a few for you, that's for sure."
 * Dishwasher Wong: "Don't trust him. His directions usually start out friendly but end up with a spatula in someone's nose. Why would anyone want to know how to do that?"
 * Cook Teh: "Thank you, Mister Wong. Thank you for over-explaining the intricacies of my wit. Implied threats are ever so much more effective when they are no longer implied!"

Cook Teh & Dishwasher Wong - Tien's Landing third conversation
 * Cook Teh: "What is this, the third time you've bothered me? Go tell the customers in the teahouse their food will be late because of someone's nosy tour."
 * Dishwasher Wong: "He doesn't really mean that. I mean, if everyone showed up in town, sure, there would be some delay, but most people eat at home, you know?"
 * Cook Teh: "Mister Wong... you are an imbecile."

Cook Teh & Dishwasher Wong - Tien's Landing fourth conversation
 * Cook Teh: "Do thugs like you think you can just walk back here for food anytime? If I wanted *human* interaction, I'd have a kiosk in the square! Or maybe a trough."
 * Dishwasher Wong: "Why a trough? We don't feed the animals, Mister Teh. That's handled by the farmers."
 * Cook Teh: "Step back, Mister Wong. You just... step back."

Cook Teh & Dishwasher Wong - Tien's Landing fifth conversation
 * Cook Teh: "You again? I really don't have time for you. How about you come back in a week. Maybe a season would be good."
 * Dishwasher Wong: "We can talk while we cut the vegetables, Mister Teh. We can make time if they need something."
 * Cook Teh: "Mister Wong... I hate you."

Cook Teh & Dishwasher Wong - Tien's Landing sixth conversation
 * Cook Teh: "Oh, more interruptions. Look, I don't have any work, I don't need anything fetched, and I don't have any lost relatives for you to rescue!"
 * Dishwasher Wong: "You said your nephew was lost. You don't want help finding him?"
 * Cook Teh: "Lost cause, Mister Wong, I said he was a lost cause. The boy was spoiled by my sister and.... Why am I telling you this? Just... go away."

Cook Teh & Dishwasher Wong - Tien's Landing seventh conversation
 * Cook Teh: "Did I not just speak with you? I have no patience for this. I am not here to amuse you."
 * Dishwasher Wong: "And yet you are so often funny. Thank you for your levity, Mister Teh."
 * Cook Teh: "Shut up, Mister Wong."
 * Dishwasher Wong: "Ah, another fine joke. I love them all."

Spirit Monk mistrusting Sky
 * Spirit Monk: "You can come... but I'll be watching you!"
 * Sky: "I assure you, I will be as devoted and capable as any of your other companions."
 * Kang: "Ha! If I could harness all that hot air, I could make a furnace to power the whole of the Imperial City! If you're done with all the talking, I have to go make the Dragonfly ready for some flying."

 * Shipeng: "Yes, yes, and yes! Ha ha! My skill and suavity as a merchant triumphs once more. Master Jiang will be pleased!"
 * Dawn Star's response: "What an odd little man. It is as if a rat and a monkey mated." [laughs]
 * Sagacious Zu's response: "You know, there are several diseases that will result in a person appearing mad. They usually result from inbreeding or lack of cleanliness."
 * The Black Whirlwind's response: "This little man makes my eyeballs itch. I may have to kill him."
 * Sky's response: "This fellow may have taken a few too many blows to the head."
 * Wild Flower/Chai Ka's response: Mortals can be so strange at times..."

The Black Whirlwind - about to join, conversation with Dawn Star
 * The Black Whirlwind: "Well, you and me and Little Miss Magenta here. Maybe she can distract our foes, flash a little leg."
 * Dawn Star: "Would you like to see the damage these legs can inflict firsthand?"
 * The Black Whirlwind: "Hmm. Feisty! I like that.

The Black Whirlwind - about to join, conversation with Sagacious Zu
 * The Black Whirlwind: "Well... you, me, and the fellow with the dark hands and dark looks."
 * Sagacious Zu: "I already tire of this fool. Keep him away from me if you want him to stay alive.

The Black Whirlwind - about to join, conversation with Sky
 * The Black Whirlwind: "Well... you, me, and the pretty boy. You must be wealthy to have your own eunuch."
 * Sky: "Ha! You're going to fit right in. You must like to dice, correct?"
 * The Black Whirlwind: "Sure! Can't say as I'm very good at it, I can never remember the rules....

The Black Whirlwind - about to join, conversation with Wild Flower
 * The Black Whirlwind: "Well... you, me, and the kid. I hope she's well trained."
 * Wild Flower: "You smell funny.

The Black Whirlwind - about to join, conversation with Henpecked Hou
 * The Black Whirlwind: "Whoa... almost didn't see the little guy. Is he with you, too?"
 * Henpecked Hou: "Yes, I am, you great behemoth. Looks like I'm going to need a lot more supplies if I'm supposed to keep you fed."

Other characters' quest logs

 * Note: During later sections of the game, you take control of other characters than the PC. They each have goals in the quest log.

Silk Fox
 * Dawn Star - You've led Dawn Star down to aid Kang at the bridge, and while she's certainly competent, you'd feel bad letting one of the peasants die on your watch.
 * Keep the Farm Girl Safe - While she has been through a lot, you're certain Dawn Star still can't take care of herself.

Black Whirlwind
 * Defend Dirge from Sun Li’s Troops – Golems, assassins… whatever. If it’s foolish enough to get close, you’re foolish enough to kill it. The courtyard seems clear enough, but you never know what sort of delicious and intoxicating goodies might be stored around the place. They’re monks after all...
 * Make Your Way Into the Temple – Your victory has bought you a moment of time to look around the temple courtyard, if you wish. When the bun master’s whining gets too shrill, you should make your way to the temple to make sure everything’s fine.
 * Daily Reminder – Since I keep forgetting where I put everything the night before, I’m writing this checklist to myself... to help me get through mornings.
 * 1. Do you have your axes? If not, you’re probably dead.
 * 2. Do you have your clothes? Are you wearing them? If you don’t see your clothes nearby, you’ll probably never find them, so don’t waste time looking. If you really need clothes for some reason, take what you need from the nearest dead bodies.
 * 3. Are you in a bed? Is there someone with you? I’ve learned from past mistakes, waking up with someone usually ends badly. Get your clothes and leave quietly.
 * 4. Is anyone still alive nearby? Don’t be shocked. Sometimes I pass out before I start fighting. Since the people nearby probably won’t be up for a fight for some time, it’s best just to move on and find another place to stay for the day.

Sun Kin
 * One Chance – For years you have been enslaved to the power of the Water Dragon, but now a flicker of hope exists to break free of enslavement as Death’s Hand. You may be the youngest brother, but you were always a match for your siblings in battle.
 * Fight for Your Freedom – You have a chance to break free with the help of the last Spirit Monk. Fight for it!

Scrolls
The Airing of Grievances Being a collection of the indignities suffered by Minister Sheng at the hands of the backward shanty town of Tien's Landing: His hat has been soiled A parchment was stolen from him before a speech at a community gathering His cat was viciously threatened A chair at his table was placed backward His finger was slammed in a door, not once, but thrice An egg was thrown at him by an unknown assailant His cart was stolen, filled with soiled garments, and then returned His face was ridiculed by young children His prized tonberry was squashed It was suggested that he perform acts of deliberate indecency upon himself He was forced to suffer the interminable and petty gripes of the people His hair was accused of being impermanent and false The honor of his family was impugned He suffered a disabling attack by a pack of bees His reputation was maligned by brigands. Brigands! A local dog evacuated in the Minister's shoe He was given a gift of turtle eggs by a visiting merchant It was suggested that he would be able to trace his lineage to a simple courtesan He was referred to as "smelly" He slipped in mud, no doubt placed in his path by jealous townsfolk Sailors burned down his office

About Jade Empire

 * I think making Jade Empire a 360 launch title would have been massive. That's a really specific example, but we made a choice, and there are a lot of factors that go into these choices and you can't revisit them. But it's interesting, because it reminds me of what's going on right now with analysts saying that game sales are down because people are waiting for new consoles, and we released Jade Empire into that kind of window. In retrospect, it would've been great to put off a bit and polish the game a bit more.
 * Greg Zeschuk, The Doctor is Out: Zeschuk on BioWare, EA and consoles' uncertain future, GamesIndustry.biz, 9 April 2013

 * The original game had all the trappings of franchise material with engrossing characters, magnificent settings, and a unique take on martial arts-fueled RPG combat. But until hard evidence of a sequel's existence materializes, we’ll continue yearning for BioWare's one-off hit to attain franchise status

Beachcomber (writer)

Beachcomber was a nom de plume used by successive writers of the humorous By the Way column in the Daily Express. The column was founded in 1919 by John Bernard Arbuthnot, and taken over first by D. B. Wyndham-Lewis and then by J. B. Morton (easily the longest-lasting Beachcomber). On Morton's retirement in 1975 the column fell into abeyance, but it has recently been revived by William Hartston.

Quotes

 * The court had to be cleared owing to the roars of ribald laughter which greeted the appearance in the witness-box of the twelve red bearded dwarfs all in a heap. Their names were read out amid growing uproar. The names appeared to be: Sophus Barkayo-Tong, Amaninter Axling, Farjole Merrybody, Guttergorm Guttergormpton, Badly Oronparser, Churm Rincewind, Cleveland Zackhouse, Molonay Tubilderborst, Edeledel Edel, Scorpion de Rooftrouser, Listenis Youghaupt, Frums Gillygottle.
 * Cocklecarrot: Are these genuine names?
 * A Dwarf: No, m'worship.
 * Cocklecarrot: Then what's your name?
 * Dwarf: Bogus, m'ludship.
 * Cocklecarrot: No, your real name.
 * Dwarf: My real name is Bogus, your excellency.
 * (At this point the court had to be cleared) (A Diet of Thistles, p 194; Frayn, The Best of Beachcomber, p 96)

 * One of Beachcomber's regular reports from the court of Mr Justice Cocklecarrot. "Churm Rincewind" was the inspiration for a character in the works of Terry Pratchett.

 * Money talks, and we are always listening. (Dr. Smart-Allick, in Frayn, The Best of Beachcomber, p 199)

 * If I don't marry her, I won't marry anyone - at least, hardly anyone. (Captain Foulenough: Frayn, The Best of Beachcomber, p 100)

 * SIXTY HORSES WEDGED IN CHIMNEY The story to fit this sensational headline has not turned up yet. (Frayn, The Best of Beachcomber, p 173)

 * Erratum. In my article on the price of milk, "Horses" should have read "Cows" throughout. (Sideways through Borneo, p 202)

 * HEROISM UNDER TORTURE. It is being said of a certain poet that though he tortures the English language, he has never yet succeeded in forcing it to reveal his meaning. (Frayn, The Best of Beachcomber, p 113)

 * TAILPIECE. One disadvantage of being a hog is that at any moment some blundering fool may try to make a silk purse out of your wife's ear. (Frayn, The Best of Beachcomber, p 57)

Unsourced

 * Justice must not only be seen to be done. It must be seen to be believed.

Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh

Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh (20 August 1930 – 25 June 2024) was Gaelic games commentator for RTÉ Radio 1. He had been commentating on games for seven decades.

1949

 * He’s not a big man, he’s not a small man, he’s what you might call a handy man.

Miscellaneous

 * ...and Brian Dooher is down injured. And while he is, I'll tell ye a little story. I was in Times Square in New York last week, and I was missing the Championship back home. So I approached a newsstand and I said, "I suppose ye wouldn't have The Kerryman would ye?" To which, the Egyptian behind the counter turned to me and he said, "Do you want the North Kerry edition or the South Kerry edition?" He had both...so I bought both. And Dooher is back on his feet...
 * Anthony Lynch, the Cork corner-back, will be the last person to let you down - his people are undertakers.
 * Colin Corkery on the 45 lets go with the right boot. Its over the bar. This man shouldn't be playing football. He's made an almost Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man but he couldn't kick points like Colin Corkery.
 * He grabs the sliothar, he's on the 50... he's on the 40... he's on the 30... he's on the ground.
 * 1-5 to 0-8.. well from Lapland to the Antarctic, that's level scores in any man's language.
 * Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now … but here comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail ...... I've seen it all now, a Rabbitte chasing a Fox around Croke Park!"
 * Pat Fox out to the forty and grabs the sliothar. I bought a dog from his father last week. Fox turns and sprints for goal... the dog ran a great race last Tuesday in Limerick. Fox, to the 21, fires a shot, it goes to the left and wide... and the dog lost as well.
 * Seán Óg Ó hAilpín.... his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from Fiji, neither a hurling stronghold.
 * Teddy McCarthy to Mick McCarthy, no relation, Mick McCarthy back to Teddy McCarthy, still no relation.
 * The stopwatch has stopped. It's up to God and the referee now. The referee is Pat Horan. God is God.

Talk:Hermann Göring

Göring = Goering
in German, the vowel ö is pronounced as if it were the english dipthong oe, and sounds as if it were the eu in the French word neuf, and resembles the English vowel e in the word her.

Common name?
"Meyer" (or "Meier") was a common name among the Jews of Germany." Well... I hate to spoil the fun, but "Meyer" and "Meier" are common names among Germans (I think, "Meier", "Schmidt" and "Müller" and their variations are the most widespread names in Germany), no German would identify the name as jewish. I will change this sentence. 84.190.223.11 18:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

de Havilland Mosquito
There is an excellent quote on the wikipdeia page for the de Havilland Mosquito should it not be included on this page? if so, where?

"In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again. What do you make of that? There is nothing the British do not have. They have the geniuses and we have the nincompoops. After the war is over I'm going to buy a British radio set - then at least I'll own something that has always worked.

 * Quotes sorted by attributed date, and then alphabetically

 * My Luftwaffe is invincible ... and so now we turn to England. How long will this one last — two, three weeks?"
 * (June 1940)

 * All cruelty was abhorrent to me. I can name many people whom I have helped, even Communists and Jews. My wife was so kind — I really have to be grateful for that. I often thought, if only the Führer had a sensible wife who would have said to him, "Here's a case where you can do some good, and here's another, and this one" — that would have been better for everyone. It was very depressing for me.
 * Attributed post-war statement

 * Every bullet which leaves the barrel of a police pistol now is my bullet. If one calls this murder, then I have murdered: I ordered all this. I back it up. I assume the responsibility, and I am not afraid to do so.

 * Germany intends to take back all the territory which has belonged to her in the course of history.

 * God gave the savior to the German people. We have faith, deep and unshakable faith, that he [Hitler] was sent to us by God to save Germany. How shall I give expression, O my Führer, to what is in our hearts? How shall I find words to express your deeds? Has there ever been a mortal as beloved as you, my Führer? Was there ever belief as strong as the belief in your mission. You were sent to us by God for Germany!

 * Hitler was our sovereign. It would be intolerable for me to have him standing before a foreign court. You men knew the Führer. He would be the first one to stand up and say, "I have given the orders, and I take full responsibility." But I would rather die ten deaths than have the German sovereign subjected to such humiliation.

 * Himmler has a brain, and its name is Heydrich.

 * I am glad that it is not a life sentence, because those who are sentenced to life imprisonment never become martyrs.

 * I shall crush all resistance remorselessly whether from Left or Right. Whoever conspires against the Third Reich will lose his head.

 * I think with my blood.

 * I envy the Allies nothing more than the financially independent, private, competitive aircraft industry and its ability thereby to develop new models.

 * If there were no Jews, we would have to invent them.

 * In a hundred years Hitler will again be the symbol of Germany!

 * Mass murder? I assure you we never for a moment had such things in mind. I only thought we would eliminate Jews from positions in big business and government, and that was all. But don't forget that the Jews carried on a terrific campaign against us too, all over the world.

 * My wife can influence me in lots of things, but as far as my basic code is concerned nothing can sway me. She could have her way in the household, in getting me to do lots of things for her, but when it comes to these basic things in a man's life, it is not a woman's affair.

 * Next to my own people, I feel closest sympathy with the English. Anyway, one thing is clear — Germany must rise either with the English or the Russians; and the Russians seem to have the upper hand. They are clever, too. Fritzsche tells me they keep asking about me. Maybe I would be better off in their hands.

 * No wonder you can't find any people with real leadership to take the responsibility of administration in Germany. Do you know why? Because the best nationalist leaders are in jail and the rest figure that if they carry out the de-nazification laws now, who knows but that in ten years — after America leaves, or a fight between East and West changes the situation — they will be brought before a German national court and tried for treason. And what do the German people think? I've already told you: 'Whenever things are lousy, we have democracy!' Make no mistake about it, the people know that they were better off when Hitler was in power before the war. And don't forget that Hitler was more than just a person to us.

 * The colonel gaoler ought to bear in mind that he is dealing with historical figures here. Right or wrong, we are historical personalities — and he is nobody.

 * The death sentence — that doesn't mean a thing to me; but my reputation in history means a lot. That is why I am glad Doenitz got landed with signing the surrender. I wouldn't want my name attached to that thing in future history. A country never thinks well of its leaders who accept defeat. As for death — I haven't been afraid of death since I was 12 or 14 years old.

 * The next generation is finding its own leaders and they will fight for the protection of their own national interests. So you can take your morality and your repentance and your democracy, and peddle it elsewhere!

 * The law and the will of the Fuhrer are one.

 * If we've lived only for twelve years, we have lived decorously.

 * The strange part of it all is that I don't feel like a criminal and that if I had been in the United States or South America or any place else, I would probably be a leading figure in one of those countries. I am a capitalist and a cultured gentleman.

 * Those who kow-towed to the prosecution and denounced the Nazi regime got it in the neck just the same. It serves them right.

 * We cannot worry unduly about the hunger of the Greeks. It is a misfortune which will strike many other peoples beside them. In the camps for Russian prisoners they have begun to eat each other. This year between twenty and thirty million people will die of hunger in Russia. Perhaps it is well that it should be so, for certain nations must be decimated. But even if it were not, nothing can be done about it. It is obvious that if humanity is condemned to die of hunger, the last to die will be our two peoples.

 * We don't make a fuss in Germany every time a gangster shoots down innocent people in the streets of Chicago.
 * To the American consul George S. Messersmith, who replied that he was sure the Reichsminister did not wish his SA men to be compared to gangsters.
 * Thanks for the effort, but I think there are still more phony quotes in the article. If it doesn't have a direct, primary source, assume that it is false. Although the case of Goering quotes, may not as bad as the ones of Adolf Hitler. --105.10.193.59 20:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

We will go down in history …
This quote is from an article by Joseph Goebbels in the newspaper Das Reich (as stated, for example, here). --Friedolf (talk) 17:09, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Which is incorrect. Rudolf Diels claimed Goebbels told him that (compare the German Wikiquote page on Joseph Goebbels). --Friedolf (talk) 00:44, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
