Quotes

 * What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed. You may ask what good it does us. Let's put it this way — human beings possess the weapon of knowledge in order to make life bearable. For animals such things aren't necessary. Animals don't need knowledge or anything of the sort to make life bearable. But human beings do need something, and with knowledge they can make the very intolerableness of life a weapon, though at the same time that intolerableness is not reduced in the slightest. That's all there is to it.
 * The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (1959).
 * There is something that even now strikes me as strange. Originally I was not possessed by gloomy thoughts. My concern, what confronted me with my real problem, was beauty alone. But I do not think that the war affected me by filling my mind with gloomy thoughts. When people concentrate on the idea of beauty, they are, without realizing it, confronted with the darkest thoughts that exist in this world. That, I suppose, is how human beings are made.
 * The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (1959).

 * I've never done much, but I've lived my whole life thinking of myself as the only real man. And if I'm right, then a limpid, lonely horn is going to trumpet through the dawn some day, and a turgid cloud laced with light will sweep down, and the poignant voice of glory will call for me from the distance — and I'll have to jump out of bed and set out alone. That's why I've never married. I've waited, and waited, and here I am past thirty.
 * Ryuji, the sailor in The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea (1965), p. 38.

 * According to Eshin's "Essentials of Salvation," the Ten Pleasures are but a drop in the ocean when compared to the joys of the Pure Land.
 * "The Priest of Shiga Temple and His Love" in Death in Midsummer, and Other Stories (1966), p. 59.

 * By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive the Truth. And first we must know that each of the petals has eighty-four thousand veins and that each vein gives eighty-four thousand lights.
 * "The Priest of Shiga Temple and His Love" in Death in Midsummer, and Other Stories (1966), p. 61.

 * Just let matters slide. How much better to accept each sweet drop of the honey that was Time, than to stoop to the vulgarity latent in every decision. However grave the matter at hand might be, if one neglected it for long enough, the act of neglect itself would begin to affect the situation, and someone else would emerge as an ally. Such was Count Ayakura's version of political theory.
 * Spring Snow (1968), as translated by Michael Gallagher (1972).

 * We tend to suffer from the illusion that we are capable of dying for a belief or theory. What Hagakure is insisting is that even in merciless death, a futile death that knows neither flower nor fruit has dignity as the death of a human being. If we value so highly the dignity of life, how can we not also value the dignity of death? No death may be called futile.
 * Yukio Mishima on Hagakure : The Samurai Ethic and Modern Japan (1977) as translated by Kathryn Sparling, p. 105; Mishima's commentary on the sayings of Yamamoto Tsunetomo.
 * ‘The human body is the work of art. It doesn’t need artists.’ But the artist replies: ‘Okay, let’s say you’re right. What good does your sweating and grunting do. Even the most beautiful body is destroyed by age. Where is beauty then? Only art makes human beauty endure. You must devise an artist’s scheme to preserve it. You must commit suicide at the height of your beauty.’~ w:Kyoko no Ie

Runaway Horses (1969)

 * How oddly situated a man is apt to find himself at the age of thirty-eight! His youth belongs to the distant past. Yet the period of memory beginning with the end of youth and extending to the present has left him not a single vivid impression. And therefore he persists in feeling that nothing more than a fragile barrier separates him from his youth. He is forever hearing with the utmost clarity the sounds of this neighboring domain, but there is no way to penetrate the barrier.
 * Runaway Horses (1969), as translated by Michael Gallagher (1973).
 * Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of death.
 * As a man grows older the memory of his youth begins to act as nothing less than an immunization against further experience. And he was thirty-eight. It was an age when one felt strangely unready to say that one had lived and yet reluctant to acknowledge the death of youth. An age when the savor of one’s experiences turned ever so slightly sour, and when, day by day, one took less pleasure in new things. An age when the charm of every diverting foolishness quickly faded.
 * Runaway Horses (1969) pg - 46

 * The purest evil that human efforts could attain, in other words, was probably achieved by those men who made their wills the same and who made their eyes see the world in the same way, men who went against the pattern of life's diversity, men whose spirits shattered the natural wall of the individual body, making nothing of this barrier, set up to guard against mutual corrosion, men whose spirit accomplished what flesh could never accomplish.
 * Runaway Horses (1969), as translated by Michael Gallagher (1973).

 * All my life I have been acutely aware of a contradiction in the very nature of my existence. For forty-five years I struggled to resolve this dilemma by writing plays and novels. The more I wrote, the more I realized mere words were not enough. So I found another form of expression.
 * As quoted in Mishima : A Life in Four Chapters (1985).

 * I want to make a poem of my life.
 * As quoted by Mishima's biographer, Henry Scott-Stokes in the documentary Yukio Mishima : Samurai Writer (1985)

 * He'd been mistaken in thinking that if he killed himself the sordid bourgeois world would perish with him.
 * "Raisin Bread", quoted in 三島由紀夫短編集: Seven Stories, translated by John Bester (2002), p. 21.

 * As he saw it, there was only one choice — to be strong and upright, or to commit suicide.
 * "Sword" ("Ken"), quoted in 三島由紀夫短編集: Seven Stories, translated by John Bester (2002), p. 46.

 * Human beings — they go on being born and dying, dying and being born. It's kind of boring, isn't it?
 * "Sword" ("Ken"), quoted in 三島由紀夫短編集: Seven Stories, translated by John Bester (2002), p. 67.

 * Within those confining walls, teachers — a bunch of men all armed with the same information — gave the same lectures every year from the same notebooks and every year at the same point in the textbooks made the same jokes.
 * "Cigarette" ("Ta- bako") story, quoted in 三島由紀夫短編集: Seven Stories, translated by John Bester (2002), p. 110.

 * Held in the custody of childhood is a locked chest; the adolescent, by one means or another, tries to open it. The chest is opened: inside, there is nothing. So he reaches a conclusion: the treasure chest is always like this, empty. From this point on, he gives priority to this assumption of his rather than to reality. In other words, he is now a "grown-up."
 * "Cigarette" ("Ta- bako") story, quoted in 三島由紀夫短編集: Seven Stories, translated by John Bester (2002), p. 110.

Confessions of a Mask (1949)

 * As translated by Meredith Weatherby (1958) ISBN 0-8112-0118-X

 * I	finally	decided	it	was	about	time	to	put	an	end	to	the	business	and	led	a	wild flight	into	the	house.	The	female	soldiers	came	running	after	me,	giving	a continuous	fusillade	of	bang-bang-bang's.	I	clutched	at	my	heart	and	collapsed limply	in	the	center	of	the	parlor. "What's	the	matter,	Kochan?"	they	asked,	approaching	with	worried	faces."I'm	being	dead	on	the	battlefield,"	I	replied,	neither	opening	my	eyes	nor moving	my	hand.I	was	enraptured	with	the	vision	of	my	own	form	lying	there,	twisted	and	fallen.There	was	an	unspeakable	delight	in	having	been	shot	and	being	on	the	point	of death.	It	seemed	to	me	that	since	it	was	I,	even	if	actually	struck	by	a	bullet,there	would	surely	be	no	pain.
 * P.18
 * The	years	of	childhood...My	memory	runs	head-on	into	a	scene	that	is	like	a	symbol	of	those	years.	To	me as	I	am	today,	that	scene	represents	childhood	itself,	past	and	irrecoverable.When	I	saw	the	scene	I	felt	the	hand	of	farewell	with	which	childhood	would take	its	leave	of	me.	I	had	a	premonition	at	that	instant	that	all	my	feeling	of subjective	time,	or	timelessness,	might	one	day	gush	forth	from	within	me	and flood	into	the	mold	of	that	scene,	to	become	an	exact	imitation	of	its	people	and movements	and	sounds;	that	simultaneous	with	the	completion	of	this	copy,	the original	might	melt	away	into	the	distant	perspectives	of	real	and	objective	time;and	that	I	might	be	left	with	nothing	more	than	the	mere	imitation	or,	to	say	it another	way,	with	nothing	more	than an	accurately	stuffed	specimen	of	my childhood.
 * P. 18
 * Actually the action called a kiss represented nothing more for me than some place where my spirit could seek shelter.
 * p. 115.

 * At no time are we ever in such complete possession of a journey, down to its last nook and cranny, as when we are busy with preparations for it. After that, there remains only the journey itself, which is nothing but the process through which we lose our ownership of it.
 * p. 118.

 * Is there not a sort of remorse that precedes sin? Was it remorse at the very fact that I existed?
 * p. 144.

 * My "act" has ended by becoming an integral part of my nature, I told myself. It's no longer an act. My knowledge that I am masquerading as a normal person has even corroded whatever of normality I originally possessed, ending by making me tell myself over and over again that it too was nothing but a pretense of normality. To say it another way, I'm becoming the sort of person who can't believe in anything except the counterfeit.
 * p. 153.

 * I received an impassioned letter from Sonoko. There was no doubt that she was truly in love. I felt jealous. Mine was the unbearable jealousy a cultured pearl must feel toward a genuine one. Or can there be such a thing in this world as a man who is jealous of the woman who loves him, precisely because of her love?
 * p. 208.

 * I had long since insisted upon interpreting the things that Fate forced me to do as victories of my own will and intelligence, and now this bad habit had grown into a sort of frenzied arrogance. In the nature of what I was calling my intelligence there was a touch of something illegitimate, a touch of the sham pretender who has been placed on the throne by some freak chance. This dolt of a usurper could not foresee the revenge that would inevitably be wreaked upon his stupid despotism.
 * p. 220.

 * There is no virtue in curiosity. In fact, it might be the most immoral desire a man can possess.
 * p. 222.
 * The black and slightly oblique trunk of the tree of execution was seen against a Titian-like background of gloomy forest and evening sky, sombre and distant. A remarkably handsome youth was bound naked to the trunk of the tree. His crossed hands were raised high, and the thongs binding his wrists were tied to the tree. No other bonds were visible, and the only covering for the youth’s nakedness was a coarse white cloth knotted loosely about his loins...
 * The arrows have eaten into the tense, fragrant, youthful flesh and are about to consume his body from within with flames of supreme agony and ecstasy. But there is no flowing blood, nor yet the host of arrows seen in other pictures of Sebastian’s martyrdom. Instead, two lone arrows cast their tranquil and graceful shadows upon the smoothness of his skin, like the shadows of a bough falling upon a marble stairway...
 * That day, the instant I looked upon the picture, my entire being trembled with some pagan joy. My blood soared up; my loins swelled as though in wrath. The monstrous part of me that was on the point of bursting awaited my use of it with unprecedented ardour, upbraiding me for my ignorance, panting indignantly. My hands, completely unconsciously, began a motion they had never been taught. I felt a secret, radiant something rise swift-footed to the attack from inside me. Suddenly it burst forth, bringing with it a blinding intoxication...

The Sound of Waves (1956)

 * As translated by Meredith Weatherby (1981) ISBN 0-679-75268-4

Shinji made no answer and a surprised look came over his face. He had caught sight of a black streak that ran straight across the front of her red sweater. Hatsue followed his gaze and saw the dirty smudge, just in the spot where she had been leaning her breast against the concrete parapet. Bending her head, she started slapping her breast with her open hands. Beneath her sweater, which all but seemed to be concealing some firm supports, two gently swelling mounds were set to trembling ever so slightly by the brisk brushing of her hands. Shinji stared in wonder. Struck by her hands, the breasts seemed more like two small, playful animals. The boy was deeply stirred by the resilient softness of their movement. The streak of dirt was finally brushed out.
 * "I'll be going now," she said.
 * p. 31, ch. 4.

Sun and Steel (1968)

 * As translated by John Bester (2003) ISBN 4-770-02903-9

 * In its essence, any art that relies on words makes use of their ability to eat away — of their corrosive function — just as etching depends on the corrosive power of nitric acid.
 * p. 8.

 * Words are a medium that reduces reality to abstraction for transmission to our reason, and in their power to corrode reality inevitably lurks the danger that the words will be corroded too. It might be more appropriate, in fact, to liken their action to excessive stomach fluids that digest and gradually eat away the stomach itself. Many people will express disbelief that such a process could already be at work in a person's earliest years. But that, beyond doubt, is what happened to me personally, thereby laying the ground for two contradictory tendencies within myself. One was the determination to press ahead loyally with the corrosive function of words, and to make that my life's work. The other was the desire to encounter reality in some field where words should play no part at all.
 * p. 9.

 * I had no taste for defeat — much less victory — without a fight.
 * p. 49.

 * The most appropriate type of daily life for me was a day-by-day world destruction; peace was the most difficult and abnormal state to live in.
 * p. 57.

 * Only through the group, I realised — through sharing the suffering of the group — could the body reach that height of existence that the individual alone could never attain. And for the body to reach that level at which the divine might be glimpsed, a dissolution of individuality was necessary. The tragic quality of the group was also necessary, the quality that constantly raised the group out of the abandon and torpor into which it was prone to lapse, leading it to an ever-mounting shared suffering and so to death, which was the ultimate suffering. The group must be open to death — which meant, of course, that it must be a community of warriors.
 * p. 87.

The Temple of Dawn (1970)

 * As translated by E. Dale Saunders and Cecilia Segawa Seigle (1990) ISBN 0-679-72242-4

 * Japan was to be married, not to Hitler, but to the German forests; not to Mussolini, but to the Roman pantheon. It was a pact joining German, Roman, and Japanese mythology: a friendship among the beautiful, masculine, pagan gods of East and West.
 * p. 21

Final address (1970)

 * It is a wretched affair for one to speak to Jietai men in circumstances like these. I thought that the Jietai was the last hope of Nippon, the last stronghold of the Japanese soul. But Japanese people today think of money, just money. Where is our national spirit today? The politicians care nothing for Japan. They are greedy for power. ... Japan is reveling in economic prosperity and has become spiritually empty. ... If the Japanese do not rise up, if the Jietai does not rise up, don't you understand that there will be no such thing as an amendment to the constitution? Don't you realize that if there is no amendment you will merely be American mercenaries? ... Is there not one person among you who will rise with me now? ... I know now for certain that no one else will rise for the constitutional amendment. My dream for the Jietai is gone. ... Long live the emperor!
 * Addressing the SPF Garrison at Ichigaya Camp during his failed coup attempt; "Mishima's seppuku speech: A critical‐cultural analysis," pp. 5-6.

Quotes about Mishima

 * Let us remember that the central reality must be sought in the writer's work: it is what the writer chose to write, or was compelled to write, that finally matters. And certainly Mishima's carefully premeditated death is part of his work.
 * Marguerite Yourcenar in Mishima: A Vision of the Void (1985).

 * Speedy delete, unremarkable subject. No WP article, 28 unique Google hits, source (undescribed in article) is apparently a user-created Google video, material is ripped off from other works, extremely unlikely to have reliable sources to demonstrate any notability. What's next? Mock movie trailers, with zero original material? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * One thing about the possibility of speedy-deleting this is that cases like this aren't covered by WQ:SD, which only permits the "unremarkable subject" SD of a "real person, group of people, band, or club". This has come up before (with the contemplated speedy deletion of a page for an unremarkable fictional character) and this same thing was pointed out. While I doubt that there'd be any clamor for a deletion review for a page like this (though if it were speedied, there'd be good cause), and I don't mean to be overly bureaucratic (and insist on following the rules at whatever cost), our SD policy specifically lists the allowable cases for this, and subjects like videos/fictional characters/etc. are not included among them, though perhaps they should be. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Brandon Michael Sergent
Not notable. Google turns up no hits on this spelling of the name, and three for "Brandon Michael Sargent" (all of which are from the same site, listing a family tree).

 * Delete. ~ Bsergent If philosophy is dead, then elitism killed it. If you can define "notable" in this context without using the "Appeal to Authority" I'd be very surprised. I publish an anthology of my essays next month (hardbound since inconsequential things like that seem to matter here), and I don't list my real full name when publishing online for privacy and harassment concerns. I did however post the quotes myself, and that seems to be against the rules, hence my delete vote. But for the record I think a person should have the right to claim their own words, especially in a consensus driven information repository. I think being honest about posting it myself is far better than underhandedly asking one of my readers to post it for me, but C'est la vie. 17:28 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Brandon, I appreciate your honesty. But if we had a dollar for every person who claimed their self-subject material was being unfairly targeted by elitists, we wouldn't need fundraising drives to maintain the Wikimedia Foundation servers. Almost invariably, such people haven't read any of our policies to find out how we define notability and why we use this as an inclusion guideline. In short, because we have no editorial board, we need some means for any reader to be able to verify the information added, which we do by insisting on reliable sources (e.g., publications from well-established, non-vanity presses). We have a notability threshhold to limit our articles to those people and creative works that may reasonably be researched by our non-expert editors (i.e., everyone), and the lack of reliable sources usually kills an article on both notability and sourcing grounds. This has nothing to with the logical fallacy of "appeal to authority", because we are not arguing a point of fact. These are project-chosen threshholds and guidelines, and they change over time to reflect the changing nature and editorship of Wikimedia. If your work does get published, and it achieves some notoriety by appearing in other media or doing well in the marketplace (whether economic or of ideas), you may have a reasonable case for notability. We don't necessarily shoot down self-quotation articles, but the standards for inclusion are awesomely high to stem the tide of unsourceable quotes added every day from non-notables like myself and most Wikiquotians. But ultimately we don't care who creates an article if we have no cited evidence of current subject notability. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Brandon, I didn't even notice that there was a connection between your username and the subject of the article (or else I'd have mentioned that, and likely added the vanity-warn template to your user talk page. My problem with the page was, and still primarily is, that there's no evidence that the subject (in this case, you) is notable. A Google search on your full name (the title of the article) turns up no Google hits at all; taking out the middle name provides 201 hits, but the results seem to indicate a college student (who are extremely rarely notable enough for inclusion in Wikiquote or Wikipedia) and an eBay seller. As Jeff said, if we have missed something, the best course of action is to point us to things that would provide evidence of notability (in the case of a "inventor, philosopher, transhumanist, and author", these would be things like published (but not self-published) books and the like). There's nothing wrong per se with creating a page for oneself, though the behavior is not encouraged. It's just that usually when people do it (and we're able to easily connect it based on the username), they aren't sufficiently notable to be included in a Wikimedia project. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided and quote(s) sourced. This is a very common qualification for deletion votes here, and editors who choose to provide such information, instead of complaining about policies or other editors, often find that VfD participants will happily change their votes to "keep". But the evidence must meet Wikimedia standards. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. He is an inventor, the holder of US Patent 5730709 for "a scratching device for providing relief for itching skin underneath a cast," but I don't think this alone makes him notable. As recently as last year he was attending Ashland Community and Technical college, where he received a scholarship, but again, I don't think this makes for notability. --Ubiquity 18:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * PS on Notability: I have been published (and paid for it) in numerous newspapers, magazines and books, and have appeared on radio, national TV, in a commercial film and on the Broadway stage. I have 16 patents to my name. None of this constitutes notability, since none of the people here would (or should) recognize my name in any arena. I'd love to have my own Wikiquote page, and even have a few good quotes to put on it (with sources!) but I restrain myself. If I want, I can put my quotes up on my user page, and you can do the same. --Ubiquity 18:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ubiquity, nobody cares about your sixteen dumb software patents in clearly obvious idiocy like "simulating include files in javascript". I can't contain my laughter that you even bothered... oh right, you worked for IBM, which thinks everything is patentable.  I suppose that's where the term "patently obvious" comes from.  IBM and its fake-free-software motions have been a detriment to the community from day one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.161.73.181 (talk • contribs) 09:18, 9 January 2007  (UTC)
 * There is no call to be rude, 67.161.73.181. Ubiquity was making a point that patents do not automatically confer notability. The primary means to provide notability evidence and well-sourced quotes is to cite reliable sources for quotes. If Brandon or other editors can provide them, the vote will likely change to "keep". If not, the article will be deleted, but this will not prevent a new article from being created any time in the future, if solid sources are included in the article and the subject has become notable. In the end, the sources are the way to ensure articles get a fair hearing. Rudeness can only undermine the case to keep (as anger and personal attacks are a common response by folks who cannot make a proper argument), and repeated incivility may get a rude user temporarily blocked. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. To those who lack notability, not having a page for their quotations may seem unjust. They feel that they're being singled out arbitrarily.  What they may not realize is just how many such pages are deleted by us in the course of our work here.  If we were to eliminate notability as a qualification, how many pages would we no longer be removing through votes or speedy deletions?  On any given day, I would estimate, we get at least ten new pages of this kind.  Multiply by the days of the year, and the result would be 3650 of these pages added  annually.  In the space of just a few years, unknown or slightly known people would form the majority of Wikiquote pages. At which point it could well be asked: who would still be reading them? The general public?  Many of the public come here to search for quotations whose sources they don't happen to know.  Would they remain if they had to wade through page after dispiriting page of word search results — reading quote after quote with no standards for inclusion or rejection?  And what of those who come here to add or edit notable quotations?  Would they keep contributing when they saw that this project had lost its purpose: to preserve the  memorable remarks of memorable people?  The internet is not exactly short of sites to post one's own quotations.  I sometimes can't help wondering, then, if elitists aren't perhaps the ones who are offended by those of us trying to do something different. - InvisibleSun 10:33, 9 January 2007 (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 Jrluiz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jrluiz~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.

Robin Lane Fox

Robin Lane Fox (born 5 October 1946) is an English classicist, ancient historian and gardening writer known for his works on Alexander the Great.[2] Lane Fox is an Emeritus Fellow of New College, Oxford and Reader in Ancient History, University of Oxford

Alexander the Great, 1973
Alexander the Great, London: Allen Lane, 1973, and New York: E.P. Dutton, 1974

 * He was still in a world of Greek gods and sacrifices, of Greek plays and Greek language,though the natives might speak Greek with a northern accent which hardened 'ch' into 'g','th' into 'd' and pronounced King Philip as Bilip.
 * p.30

 * Philip's mother had been a Lyncestian noblewoman" - "rebellious kings of Lyncestis who traced their origins to the notorious Bacchiad kings of Greek Corinth.
 * p.32

 * Olympia's royal ancestry traced back to the hero Achilles, and the blood of Helen of Troy was believed to run on her father's side.
 * p.44

 * The Macedonian kings, who maintained that their Greek ancestry traced back to Zeus, had long given homes and patronage to Greece's most distinguished artists.
 * p.48

 * But Alexander was stressing his link with Achilles... Achilles was also a stirring Greek hero, useful for a Macedonian king whose Greek ancestry did not stop Greeks from calling him a barbarian.
 * p.60

 * No man, and only one hero, had been called invincible before him, and then only by a poet, but the hero was Heracles, ancestor of the Macedonian kings.
 * p.71

 * "War", Philip had announced, "was being declared against the Persians on behalf of the Greeks, to punish the barbarians for their lawless treatment of the old Greek temples".
 * p.92

 * Among the conservative Greek opinion there would be no regrets that Alexander the Greek leader was invading the barbarians.
 * p.101

 * To his ancestors (to a Persian's ancestors) Macedonians were only known as 'yona takabara', the 'Greeks who wear shields on their heads', an allusion to their broad-brimmed hats.
 * p.104

 * As for the hired Greeks in Persian service, thousands of the dead were to be buried, but the prisoners were bound in fetters and sent to hard labour in Macedonia, 'because they had fought as Greeks against Greeks, on behalf of barbarians, contrary to the common decrees of the Greek allies.
 * p.123

 * Alexander son of Philip and the Greeks, except the Spartans..., as Sparta did not consider it to be her fathers' practice to follow, but to lead.
 * p.123

 * In spirit, Alexander made a gesture to the Lydians' sensitivities, though his Greek crusade owed them nothing as they were not Greeks.
 * p.128

 * Alexander was not the first Greek to be honoured as a god for political favour...
 * p.131

 * Alexander was recognized as a son of Zeus after his visit.
 * p.201

 * It was the Delphi of the Greek East and as a Hellene, not as Pharaoh, Alexander would be curious...
 * p.204

 * Supported the belief that he was the Greek gos Zeus's son.
 * p.214

 * When his Macedonians mutinied at the end of their marching, they were said to have ridiculed him and told him to 'go fight alone with his father', meaning Zeus, not Philip.
 * p.216

 * The occasion was not lost on Alexander: at Susa, he sacrificed to Greek gods and held Greek gymnastic games...
 * p.253

 * In return he left behind Darius's mother, daughters and the son whom he had captured at Issus, and appointed teachers to teach them the Greek language.
 * p.254

 * Alexander was still the Greek avenger of Persian sacrilege who told his troops, it was said 'that Persepolis was the most hateful city in the world'. On the road there, he met with the families of Greeks who had deported to Persia by previous kings, and true to his slogan, he honoured them conspicuously, giving them money, five changes of clothing, farm animals, corn, a free passage home, and exemption from taxes and bureaucratic harassments.
 * p.256

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Soul Calibur character pages

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was: delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 20:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Soul Calibur character pages

 * Maxi
 * Cervantes de Leon
 * Isabella Valentine
 * Voldo
 * Nightmare
 * Sengu Mina
 * Sophitia
 * Yoshimitsu
 * Xianghui
 * Kilik
 * Taki
 * Mitsurugi
 * Astaroth

Stub page for a video game character (we don't have a page for the game) with only one quote, and it's certainly not original nor particular quotable or memorable ("You messed up my hair."). —LrdChaos (talk) 15:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Note: I'd previously mentioned that we didn't have a page for the game. We do have a Soul Calibur page, which, despite the intro, appears to have quotes from all the games in the series, including Soul Calibur III. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Addition: I've added Isabella Valentine and Cervantes de Leon to this nomination, as they were created by the same IP, are characters from the same game, and have the same problem: pointless quotes. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

More additions: I've nominated a host of other characters' pages created by the same IP. All are full of short, pointless quotes. I've left a message on the IP's talk page asking them to stop creating separate pages and to look at the existing page for the game instead. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Jeffry Maning
I'm nominating this page separately from the Soul Calibur character pages as this appears to be an actual person, who happens to be the person who did the narration voice for one or more of the games. The quotes are just as meaningless and pointless, however. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Even if meaningful quotes were added, I don't believe this person has any significant notability. Based on his IMDb entry, his sole claim to fame is narrator of one video game. This is below the notability level of one-shot film actors and many celebrity animals. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:39, 4 January 2007 (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 Jo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jo~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.

This is a false quote from a satirical article.

BBSpot?
I can't believe people were using a BBSpot quote on this page. It's despicable. It would be like citing The Onion in a wikipedia article. UDScott: if the UD in your name is University of Delaware you should be ashamed of yourself for making two edits to this entry and not removing that citation. I would have thought they would've taught you better there.
