 * While we labour to subdue our passions, we should take care not to extinguish them. Subduing our passions, is disengaging ourselves from the world; to which however, Whilst we reside in it, we must always bear relation; and we may detach ourselves to such a degree as to pass an useless and insipid life, which we were not meant to do. Our existence here is at least one part of a system. A man has generally the good or ill qualities which he attributes to mankind.

Pope Boniface VIII

Pope Boniface VIII (born Benedetto Caetani; c. 1230 – 11 October 1303) was the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 24 December 1294 to his death in 1303. Caetani was of baronial origin with family connections to the papacy.

He succeeded Pope Celestine V, a Benedictine, who had abdicated from the papal throne. Boniface spent his early career abroad in diplomatic roles. In the College of Cardinals, he discriminated not only against the Benedictines but also members of the Colonna family, some of whom had contested the validity of the 1294 papal conclave that elected him following the unusual abdication of Pope Celestine V. The dispute resulted in battles between troops of Boniface and his adversaries and the deliberate destruction and salting of the town of Palestrina, despite the pope's assurances that the surrendering city would be spared.

Boniface VIII put forward some of the strongest claims of any pope to temporal as well as spiritual power. He involved himself often with foreign affairs, including in France, Sicily, Italy and the First War of Scottish Independence. These views, and his chronic intervention in "temporal" affairs, led to many bitter quarrels with Albert I of Germany, Philip IV of France, and Dante Alighieri, who wrote his treatise De Monarchia to dispute Boniface's claims of papal supremacy and placed the pope in the Eighth Circle of Hell in his Divine Comedy, among the simoniacs.

Unam sanctam (1302)

 * Unam sanctam ecclesiam catholicam et ipsam apostolicam urgente fide credere cogimur et tenere, nosque hanc frmiter credimus et simpliciter confitemur, extra quam nec salus est, nec remissio peccatorum,
 * Translation: WE ARE COMPELLED, OUR FAITH URGING us, to believe and to hold—and we do firmly believe and simply confess—that there is one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, outside of which there is neither salvation nor remission of sins

 * Sive ergo Graeci sive alii se dicant Petro ejusque successoribus non esse commissos: fateantur necesse est, se de ovibus Christi non esse, dicente Domino in Joanne, unum ovile et unicum esse pastorem.
 * If, then, the Greeks or others say that they were not committed to the care of Peter and his successors, they necessarily confess that they are not of the sheep of Christ; for the Lord says, in John, that there is one fold, one shepherd, and one only.

 * In hac ejusque potestate duos esse gladios, spiritualem videlicet et temporalem, evangelicis dictis instruimur. […] Uterque ergo est in potestate ecclesiae, spiritualis scilicet gladius et materialis. Sed is quidem pro ecclesia, ille vero ab ecclesia exercendus, ille sacerdotis, is manu regum et militum, sed ad nutum et patientiam sacerdotis.
 * We are told by the word of the Gospel that in this His fold there are two swords—a spiritual, namely, and a temporal. […] Both swords, the spiritual and the material, therefore, are in the power of the Church; the one, indeed, to be wielded for the Church, the other by the Church; the one by the hand of the priest, the other by the hand of kings and knights, but at the will and sufferance of the priest.

 * Porro subesse Romano Pontifici omni humanae creaturae declaramus dicimus, definimus et pronunciamus omnino esse de necessitate salutis.
 * Indeed we declare, say, pronounce, and define that it is altogether necessary to salvation for every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

SLC Punk!

SLC Punk! is a 1998 film about two punks living in Salt Lake City, Utah in the 1980s.
 * Directed & Written by James Merendino

God bless America...they're going to need it.

Stevo

 * The thing with me and Bob and pretty much all of us was we hated rednecks, more than anything else, period. Because rednecks for us were pretty much America incarnate, and America? Well, fuck America!
 * Posers were people who looked like punks but they did it for fashion. And they were fools, they'd say "anarchy in the UK." What the fuck's that? Anarchy in the UK. What good is that to those of us in Utah, America? It was a Sex Pistols thing. They were British, they were allowed to go on about Anarchy in the UK. You don't live your life by lyrics.
 * See, to me, England was nothing more then a big fucking American state like North Dakota or Canada.
 * You see life is like that. We change, that's all. You see, the guy I am now is not the guy I was then. If the guy I was then met the guy I am now he'd beat the shit out of me. Those are the facts.
 * It's like fucking Jesus Christ took a shit and it landed right here, so you can be happy all you fucking want.
 * The Fight: What does it mean and where does it come from? An Essay: Homosapien. A man. He is alone in the universe. A punker. Still a man. He is alone in the universe, but he connects. How? They hit each other. Ooh! No clearer way to evaluate whether or not you're alive. Now, complications. A reason to fight. Somebody different. Difference creates dispute. Dispute is a reason to fight. To fight is a reason to feel pain. Life is pain. So to fight with reason is to be alive with reason. Final analysis: To fight, a reason to live. Problems and Contradictions: I am an anarchist. I believe that there should be no rules, only chaos. Fighting appears to be chaos and when we slam in the pit a show it is. But when we fight for a reason, like rednecks, there's a system. We fight for what we stand for, chaos, but fighting is a structure, to establish power, power is government and government is not anarchy. Government is war and war is fighting. The circle goes like this: our redneck skirmishes are cheap perversions of conventional warfare. War implies extreme government because wars are fought to enforce rules or ideals, even freedom. But other people's ideals forced on someone else, even if it is something like freedom, is still a rule; not anarchy. This contradiction was becoming clear to me in the fall of '85. Even as early as my first party, "Why did I love to fight?" I framed it, but still, I don't understand it. It goes against my beliefs as a true anarchist. But there it was. Competition, fighting, capitalism, government, THE SYSTEM. That's what we did. It's what we always did. Rednecks kicked the shit out of punks, punks kicked the shit out of mods, mods kicked the shit out of skinheads, skinheads took out the heavy metal guys, and the heavy metal guys beat the living shit out of new wavers and the new wavers didn't do anything. They were the new hippies. So what was the point? Final summation? None.
 * Another thing that pisses me off, talking about who started punk rock music. Was it...the Sex Pistols in England?  Was it... the Ramones and the Velvet Underground in New York?  "It was the Ramones!", "It was the Sex Pistols!" Who cares who started it?!  It's music.  I don't know who started it, and I don't give a shit.  The one thing I know is that we did it harder, we did it faster, and we definitely did it with more love baby.  You can't take that away from us.
 * What do you do when your foundation falls apart? I don't know. They don't teach you that in school.
 * Only posers die!
 * See Sean was fucked up, not the world. The world was just confused, and not the world really, just the people in it.
 * It wasn't that I loved Sandy—I knew that we had an understanding—but I discovered then that Chris was right. All things had systems, even me. I was about to beat the living shit out of this guy because he invaded my territory. It was my territory, no question about it, just like in the wild. I was following nature, nature was order, and order is the system.
 * And so there I was. I was gonna go to Harvard. It was obvious. I was gonna be a lawyer and play in the God-damned system, and that was that. I was my old man. He knew, so what else could I do? I mean, there's no future in anarchy; I mean let's face it. But when I was into it, there was never a thought of the future. I mean we were certain the world was gonna end, but when it didn't, I had to do something, so fuck it. I could always be a litigator in New York and piss the shit out of the judges. I mean that was me: a trouble maker of the future. The guy that was one of those guys that my parents so arrogantly saved the world for, so we could fuck it up. We can do a hell of a lot more damage in the system than outside of it. That was the final irony, I think. That, and well, this. And "fuck you" for all of you who were thinking it: I guess when all was said and done, I was nothing more than a God-damned, trendy-ass poser.

Heroin Bob

 * Chemicals, man. They'll fuck you up.
 * Well, it's a crazy, fucked up world! And we're all just barely floating along, waiting for somebody that can walk on water.
 * I hate doctors, man. I hate 'em.
 * You're like a poet, dude!
 * Those doctors can kiss my ASS!
 * How Goes It?
 * If somebody called me somethin' that I wasn't, I could see getting mad.

Sean

 * Satan is in the house, he killed my mom and turned her into a bull.
 * You're not Jesus! You're Bob!
 * You know what Bob? You ARE Jesus.
 * If I get off this chair, I'll drown—you wanna know why, Bob? Because I can't swim...

Sandy

 * Beauty is the end, Stevo. The end.

Dialogue

 * Stevo: You're a Nazi, dad.
 * Dad: How can I be a Nazi, Steven? I'm Jewish.

 * Heroin Bob: You know that shit you guys do? You're fucking yourselves up, man. Fucking acid, it never leaves your body. It's in your fucking spinal cord forever. Let me tell you something about the nature of chemicals, man. You know that dude, Napoleon? Yeah. He was banished to an island when the French got sick of him. That's right! He supposedly died of stomach problems, right? Wrong! He was actually poisoned over a long period of time; murdered by arsenic, a preservative. And you know how?
 * Stevo: No idea.
 * Heroin Bob: His hair.
 * Stevo: His hair.
 * Heroin Bob: His fucking hair! It was arsenic. You could tell how long he was being poisoned by following the traces of poison up his hair. Dude, dude, dude, if you do enough hits of it, you're dead!
 * Stevo: Really makes you think, doesn't it, Bob?
 * Heroin Bob: Th-think what?
 * Stevo: That chemistry's the wrong fucking major for a guy like you! It's the wrong major, Bob!
 * Heroin Bob: Well, you should lay off the acid anyways, man!

 * Stevo: Wait, time out. I just wanted to ask real quick, if I can. You believe in rebellion, freedom and love, right?
 * Mom: Absolutely, yes.
 * Dad: Rebellion, freedom, love.
 * Stevo: You two are divorced. So love failed. Two: Mom, you're a New Ager, clinging to every scrap of Eastern religion that may justify why the above said love failed. Three: Dad, you're a slick, corporate, preppy-ass lawyer. I don't really have to say anything else about you do I dad? Four: You move from New York City, the Mecca and hub of the cultural world to Utah! Nowhere! To change nothing! More to perpetuate this cycle of greed, fascism and triviality. Your movement of the people, by and for the people got you... nothing! You just hide behind some lost sense of drugs, sex and rock and roll. Ooooh, Kumbaya! I am the future! I am the future of this great nation which you, father, so arrogantly saved this world for. Look, I have my own agenda. Harvard, out. University of Utah, in. I'm gonna get a 4.0 in damage. I love you guys! Don't get me wrong, it's all about this. But for the first time in my life, I'm 18 and I can say "FUUUUUCK YOU!"
 * Dad: Steven, I didn't sell out son. I bought in. Keep that in mind. That kid's gonna make a hell of a lawyer, huh?
 * Mom: Yeah, he takes after his father. He's a son of a bitch.
 * Dad: Fuck you dear.

 * Mark: I had two bags of grass in this kitchen. They are always trying to stiff me, you know?
 * Stevo: Who is?
 * Mark: Who? Everybody. You know I give to everybody, Stevo. You know that. And they just go ahead and try to take whatever they want. It makes me want to kill...which I've done in the past, believe me. I'm not saying it makes me a man or anything. I'm just passing on the information.
 * Stevo: When did you kill?
 * Mark: In Miami I shot two men. Why do you think I'm here? 'Cause I love this place? 'Salt Lake Shitty'? They tried to rob me, so I shot them in the head. You have to put at least one bullet in the head just to make sure.
 * Stevo: Get out of here. Come on. You didn't kill anybody. Fuck you.
 * Mark: You don't believe me, huh? Well...[pulls revolver out of a nearby drawer]
 * Stevo: Hey.
 * Mark: With this. You want to be a cowboy, I show you cowboy. [waves gun around at Stevo]
 * Stevo: Come on. Just put that thing away. I hate those things. [laughs] Put it away, I get the joke. Now put it away.
 * Mark: When I was a kid, my family died in a crash.
 * Stevo: [closes the open drawer] I know.
 * Mark: You know? My mother told me to buckle up because things were going to get bumpy...so I did. I looked at her, and she smiled. And then like this, boom, the plane was going down. My dad was next to the pilot, and he told us not to worry. But, hey, even at five I knew we had trouble because the pilot was crying. So I looked at my sister and she was like "Oh, man. We're getting close". So I looked at my mom again, and she smiled at me again...and so this time I smiled. And then we hit the ground, and something came through that plane...and cut my mother's head off. So now this head was flying straight at me, and she never took her eyes off of me. That's when I passed out. And when I woke up, my family was all around me in pieces. I saw my mother's arm, my sister's leg...my brother's head...but I couldn't find my father. I wanted to, though...'cause I was going to kick his FUCKIN' dead body - 'Cause he lied. You know what I'm trying to tell you, Stevo? It's so easy, so easy to get it taken away from you. And they try...every chance they get, they try.
 * Stevo: It's bad...I mean, it's really bad.

 * "Yes, I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?"

 * "I'd rather sink trying to be different, than stay afloat like everyone else"

 * "I cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working, and to do films till the very end, it is the only way I can express my love for them."

 * "To me, Devdas is the end of love stories. I've portrayed an obsessed lover, a nice lover, an angry lover, a romantic lover. And now I've played Devdas. For someone who doesn't even like love stories, I've played an awful lot of lovers. Personally speaking, I wouldn't see any of the romantic films I've acted in."

 * "I'm the luckiest man in the world and I don't want to hide from the faces I'm acting for. So I don't surround myself with guards, I've never given an interview in which I've said I feel bad that I can't go shopping or I can't go to Chowpatty and eat bhelpuri without being mobbed. I'm not the kind of guy who goes out wearing dark glasses (I don't think I'm a big enough star to hide behind them, honest). I go to see movies in the cinema theatres, I go to restaurants with my family and friends even though I know people are going to disturb me there."

 * (August 2004): Awards that ignore me are losers.

 * (August 2004): I'm try-sexual. I try anything that's sexual.

 * (August 2004): I have no competition. Every year the names I'm pitted against keep changing. You can't cream the competition, you have to kill it.

 * "I'd like to believe there's a little of Hitler and Napoleon in me. Even if I try, I can't be as selfless as Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa."

 * "Recently an actor asked me to teach him how to speak fast. Wasn't I once criticised for speaking too fast? Now they're doing it my way."

 * "Maybe the country doesn't pray for me like they do for Sachin Tendulkar, but I know I'm on a good wicket as well."

 * "I work like a retailer. I sell my services, take my money and keep it in the bank."

 * "I don't kiss on screen. Period."

 * "I'm no megalomaniac. Even I found it boring to have an entire website devoted to trivia about me. No one's interested in a one man show, unless you happen to be an Amitabh Bachchan."

 * "Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it."

 * "Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works."

 * 'Home is where Gauri and the children are...' - Shahrukh Khan

 * "I thank God for happiness AND sadness... if you're never sad you'll never know how good happiness is" - SRK

 * “I am a very big star. I don’t deserve to be such a big star or to be in this position. It’s all because of my parents are taking care of me. Dad wasn’t so pushy, so it must be mom. On every happy occasion I feel sad because I wish mom was still present. How I wish she was here today.” - Shahrukh

 * My sister Shehnaz is very naïve and sweet. She is also very spoilt and pampered. I love her a lot. I've grown in her shadow, as she was the older child in the house. I'd look up to her. She is very quite now, after my parents demise. She stays with me. She is an educated girl. She has done a management course; she used to work as an officer for the Indira Gandhi memorial. She has also done her MBA in psychology - Shahrukh

 * On 2nd November 1965 a normal occurrence happened at the Talwar Nursing Home in New Delhi. Just like many newborns, I was born with the umbilical cord entangled around my neck. A nurse said that it was by the blessings of Hanuman and that I would be a very lucky child. I don’t know if I believe in it but it is the one thing I was told by my parents about my birth that I remember. - Shahrukh

 * We were given black and golden stars for our behaviour and test results. Five black stars meant lying across Mrs. Bala’s lap and getting spanked three times, I think. Being quite naughty I was spanked a lot. I wish the same treatment was meted out to me even now. Looking back one realizes that what one thought punishment was actually quite pleasurable. - Shahrukh

 * "How did our friendship grow into love? Well, I've known Shahrukh for 15 years now. I've been married to him for the last nine years. It all seems like a dream, like I've known him forever. It happened so young and gradual that we didn't think for a moment that we would not get married." - Gauri

 * Slowly, Shahrukh managed to win over each and every member of my family. And once my folks got to know him, they started liking him. Finally, they were convinced that Shahrukh was the right person for me.- Gauri

 * On proposing to his wife, Gauri: ( Thinks ) I don't really quite remember actually. We had known each other for like eight years. So it was sort of understood that we'd marry. Umm... I just remember telling her I love you. I didn't even date her like you normally do -- she's the only girl I've ever really known. To be quite honest. I remember I just dropped her to her house and just told her ( that he wanted to marry her ). ( Laughs ) Didn't wait for her response -- just drove off. - Shah Rukh

 * "Life is so strange... When I married Shahrukh and came to Mumbai, I had my fears. Everything about the place including the film industry seemed so strange and awkward that every two months I'd run back to Delhi to my family. But finally, I did find my feet here and today I have absolutely no regrets in life. - Gauri

 * I told the rickshaw driver to take me to this beach. So we went and there she was. Standing in the water, wearing a T-shirt. By then it didn't matter even if she wasn't wearing anything. She came over and we hugged, and cried. It was then that I realised I was being unreasonably possessive. I also realised that no one could ever love Gauri the way I loved her and that gave me tremendous confidence. -Shahrukh

 * I know exactly what Shahrukh is doing. Any wife would know for that matter. Of course, there are a lot of women who don't know what their husbands are upto. But I would know. I know what I can expect from him, what he can do for me, what he has done for me and the kind of respect he has for me. - Gauri

 * “Our relationshipis not based on how much we have done for each other. If Gauri has made sacrifices or adjustments, she has not told me. Had she told me, you cannot call it a sacrifice but an obligation. I could keep harping about how much I love Gauri but we’re beyond all this." - Shahrukh

 * He doesn't bring his work and work problems home. He tries to spend a lot of time with his family. For him, I always come first. I've never been sad or unhappy or suspicious that Shahrukh is upto something behind my back. How often do you pick up a magazine and read about Shahrukh having an affair with somebody? I've never read anything of that sort. - Gauri

 * A wife can help balance the scales of emotion but she cannot fill the void of a mother: fortunatly for Shahrukh, Gauri has been a part of his life for the last 15 to 16 years. “She is a part of me. Or rather; I’m like her appendage. I don’t want to demean or raise her by status by calling her my mother or comparing her. Gauri is a completely different person. At times, mcuh more than what my mother would have been. Gauri is much beyond. Like there’s a little world around me and there’s a galaxy. All that is encompassed by Gauri, including my mom and her star. Everything.” - Shahrukh

 * Shahrukh has given me so much that I couldn't ask for more. - Gauri

 * “At times when she is out somewhere, I feel there’s nothing without Gauri. No life, no house, no stardom, no child, no happiness, no company without Gauri. I cannot say she’s my support of pillar or strenght either. Aryan wouldn’t be around without Gauri. I can’t explain the happiness I feel when they’re around. It’s wonderful and it’s all because of Gauri.” - Shahrukh

 * Earlier we used to meet outside and now we meet at home. Shahrukh is more protective and caring after marriage. Earlier he knew I was with my parents. But now when I'm leaving town, every detail has to be written down 100 times over! I'm going to Dubai and he wants me to get one of those cellular phones so that he can call me up every half an hour. He wants to do demented things like that. - Gauri

The difference lies in just being a man and a woman, but when all is said and done, they like each other. They love each other. Love keeps them together. And love, in the end, is all that matters. - Shahrukh
 * So, what makes a couple stay together?

 * He’s intense about whatever bothers him. I think the whole commotion is because he’s from the filmindustry and yet he is so faithful to his wife. Here men aren’t supposed to be monogamous. But Shahrukh isn’t filmi in the least. He is like any other man from any other walk of life who loves his wife a lot. I’m glad he is an exception to the rule of star husbands who are not faithful to their wives. - Gauri

 * Gauri teaches me how to be diplomatic. She had taught me to switch the lights off before going to bed, To have dinner at the proper place, to put my clothes in the proper place, she has taught me how to dress up well too. She has turned me from an animal to a man. She spoils me a lot. She is the stabilizing factor in my life. She likes me because I make her laugh. And boy, do I make her laugh... - Shahrukh

 * The birth of his son, Aryan: I've lost my parents in hospitals -- so I don't like being in hospitals. And Gauri is quite fragile -- and I've never seen her fall really sick, or seen her unwell. When I saw her in the hospital, they had put in tubes and stuff. And she was becoming delirious and she was really cold. I went with her to the operation theatre for her Caesarean... And ( takes a deep breath ) I thought she'd die. Didn't even think about the kid at that point in time. It wasn't important to me. She was shivering so much and I know logically that you don't die while giving birth to babies... But still... ( Lost in thought )... I just got a little scared.

 * About son Aryan: We just named him Aryan. I don't know. I just liked the sound of the name. I thought when he tells a girl ki my name is Aryan. Aryan Khan, she'll be really impressed. His looks have come from both of us. Actually Gauri and I have similar features -- both of us have big eyes and thick lips. I don't know... He's got expressions like mine, I think... But he's a mixture. And no, I haven't changed any diapers! ( Laughs ) - Shah Rukh

 * Aryan has brought about a big change in our lives, especially in Shahrukh's lifestyle. Now, Shahrukh thinks twice if he has to go on an outdoor shoot. He wants to make most of his films in Mumbai. He has cut down on his work quite a bit. Double shifts are completely out. He is not signing too many films. And with the second baby due soon, the future for Shahrukh would be spending more time at home. He is crazy about children. - Gauri

 * "I’ve collected a lot of balls for him and he loves playing with them. Aryan also loves dancing to my songs. We have pillow fights and love jumping on the bed. We quite demented when we are together." - Shahrukh

 * Aryan is two-and-a-half today... He looks exactly like me but he acts and behaves just like Shahrukh. He is very bright and naughty. Shahrukh makes it a point to pick him up from his play school at least once a week. - Gauri

 * "When you see father and son together, you can’t tell who’s younger. We play a lot together. We share Grasshopper together. We even share his little car. He rides it and so do i. Sometimes I push it, and at others he pushes it. Sometimes we play ‘fighting-fighting’ and we play with my Superman. He plays with it as much as I do." - Shahrukh

 * "He's a fabulous father", agreed Karan. "You can see from the reaction of his child what a great father he is. It's the world on one side and his father on the other. His father means the world to Aryan." - Karan Johar

 * “Aryan wakes up by 7.30 or 8 in the morning. I spend a couple of hours with him and then rush to my shooting. If I’m at Mehboob Studio, close to home, I drive back for lunch. At night I get back by 9.30 or 10.00 and we play till 11.30. I play with him till he falls asleep and try to sleep with him.” - Shahrukh

 * He is completely obsessed with his father because for one, he sees less of him and secondly, Shahrukh is full of energy which I'm not. He can talk, dance and play with him endlessly. Aryan cannot sleep without him. Shahrukh has to spend two hours with him every night. - Gauri

 * But first things first. SRK's just turned father to a bonny baby, Aryaan. That he's excited is only stating the obvious. His brown eyes glisten happily. He says, "I hope Aryaan will grow up to look like my father. He was such a handsome man." And will he be as good a parent to his son? "I'll be a better parent to my son than my parents were to me. They died too soon, they left me alone. But I'll always be there for my son."

 * With a heap of ha-ha humour, he adds, "My baby will be a pucca flirt. I think he even winked at the nurses at the Breach Candy hospital where he was born. I hope my child turns out to be a pucca badmaash. Just like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. But even if he turns out to be well-behaved, that's okay by me.

 * My son must be honest and respect elders. That's all that I expect of him. "Frankly, I really hated myself when I saw Gauri going through all that labour pain. In the past 13 years that I've known her, she's never fallen ill on me even once. And now because of me she had to go through labour pain.

 * "Though everyone says my son looks like me, I think he's an exact replica of Gauri. He took to me instantly, he even talks to me. I'll tell my son to grab all the opportunities he can, he shouldn't wait for them to come knocking. And when he grows up, I'll flirt with all his girlfriends. That's for sure." - Shahrukh

 * Now that Aryan is 2, it’s time he had a sister. “Inshallah! I wish we have a daughter too. I’d love to have a girl, but it won’t make a difference if we have another boy. At the time we were expecting Aryan, Gauri wanted a boy and I wanted a girl. We had a boy and I love Aryan more than Gauri does.” - Shahrukh (january 2000)

Suhana Khan 23rd May 2000 Aryan Khan: Nov 12th 1997

 * In her own quiet way, Suhana brought smiles and joy into our house even before she was born.

 * I stayed in my van for two days outside Breach Candy hospital to be near Gauri when she delivered our second child. I left Aryan at Juhi's house. In between I would get frantic telephone calls on my cell phone about how Aryan was scandalizing the servants and members of Juhi's family by stripping and running buck naked through the house shouting "Look at me! I'm Tarzan!" It's his favourite ploy to get attention, which he needs in a constant and undivided manner. I think he's going to grow up to be an actor.

 * Suhana, unlike Aryan, was quiet from the time she was born. Like all children, Aryan was a little concerned about the new entrant into his family so we tried to avert the sibling rivalry by giving him chocolates and saying they were from Suhana.

 * Amongst the hundreds of telephone calls I received to congratulate Gauri and myself (and to give us advice on raising children!), I particularly remember one from Anil [Kapoor]. He said, "Are you sitting on the side of God and whispering into His ears what you want? First you get success, and fame and then you get a perfect family too - a boy and a girl." I thought it was very sweet.

 * Initially, I was scared to pick Suhana in my arms. She was so fragile, unlike Aryan. I could toss up Aryan and play rough with him but Suhana was different, she's a lady. Very quiet and loving, but I have a feeling she'll grow up to be very naughty.

 * One year has passed since she was born. She can barely stand now. And Aryan is learning how to get along with his little sister. We decided to have them share the same room so that they could bond. Gauri makes them eat together too. Of course it's very difficult to get Aryan/ Superman/ Batman/ Spiderman to sit in one place long enough to eat a meal but Suhana is so well behaved. She just smiles quietly at the world. She's very loving, even towards complete strangers.

 * But of course, Aryan, like all children, hates having to share the spotlight. He's very proud of the fact that Suhana is not allowed to play in the garden (because she's too small and delicate). And if you come home, he'll tell you proudly how Suhana keeps crying, unlike Aryan, who's a big strong man!

- Shahrukh Khan
 * So one whole year has passed since she was born. She is growing more beautiful as each day passes. She has wonderful large eyes and an adorable, sweet smile. People say her hair is like mine. People say she's as beautiful as her mother. I think she's taken after an angel.

 * Initially, I was scared to pick Suhana in my arms. She was so fragile, unlike Aryan. I could toss up Aryan and play rough with him but Suhana was different, she's a lady. Very quiet and loving, but I have a feeling she'll grow up to be very naughty. - Shahrukh

 * Aryan wants to be like me, I am TThis role model, while my daughter wants to be like her mother. Aryan thinks he looks like me and dresses up like me too. We are good friends. In fact we are the best friends in the world. I am very attached to my son. We can chat for hours. - Shahrukh

 * "His son thinks that his father is a superman, But you can't blame the kid. The moment he switches on the TV he sees his father, when he travels to school, he sees banners of his father's films along the roads, and whenever his fathers alights people go hysterically, 'Shah Rukh, Shah Rukh!'” - Shashilal Nair

 * "I think he's the best father," Farah interjected enthusiastically. "He's really cool! He's not paranoid, and treats his son as a friend. And he has so much fun being a father. You go to Shah Rukh's house for a party and there's Shah Rukh on all four legs playing with Aryan, and you just let them be...He's mellowed, got quieter, but that happens... He has two children now. He has such a beautiful home and has done so well for himself.’’ – Farah Khan

 * I am a total family man. I drop my kids to school every day and if I knew how to cook I would even cook for them. According to me, doing things for my kids is very macho. - Shahrukh

Very small. A lot like Bill Cosby when he told his wife when his child was born, ‘You know, this love affair we’ve had for 13 years, we’ve been married six and you know what we’ve produced, we’ve produced a lizard.’ When he was born, Aryan looked like a lizard, a small lizard and a Chinese lizard at that. Grey, blue. But what’s nice is that he doesn’t cry. He just sleeps all day. I wish I could do that. I like calm people. - Shah Rukh
 * What did you feel when u first held the baby?

 * Gauri is going to be a mother soon. If it's a boy, I want him to be a badmash. He should do all the bad things by the time he is 16, so that he can sober down after that. If I have a daughter, I'll give her all the love that's stored within me. - Shahrukh

 * All parents bring up their children with certain values. And it’s not surprising that Shahrukh’s parents never laid down any rules. “That’s also why none were broken. My mom used to talk about hard work, honesy and heartfelt feelings. But one thing they taught me was, ‘If you like doing something, go ahead and do it’. I never feel guilty about anything I do.

 * “My part in bringing up Aryan, is similar. Gauri is very proud of me. I don’t think she will mind if Aryan learns some of my values. She knows that I’m a little strange but there’s also something which is right about me. That’s why she married me. Of course, Gauri wouldn’t want Aryan to be as mad as I am! From my side, he’s okay!” - Shahrukh

 * Both the children, Aryan (12th November 1997) and Suhana (23rd May 2000) have been taught to revere the co-existence of Ganpati and Allah in the Khan household. How wonderfully they are being brought up manifests itself in the story that when Shah Rukh was having a critical neck surgery, Aryan went to the temple and said an Islamic prayer so that his father could get well soon.

 * “Shah Rukh is very family bonded, he is very attached to his family and exceptionally so to his sister, his wife and children. He is very responsible vis-à-vis his family and to take on such responsibility at such a young age, I think it is phenomenal.” – Aziz Mirza

 * "Gauri and he have been together since he was on the roads...until now! When he's so loving with others, you can imagine how loving he must be with his wife!" - Shashilal Nair

 * "My daughter is more attached to her mother, while Aryan and I are very similar. Aryan does bully her but she is such a sweetheart." - Shahrukh

 * When I see Aryan and Suhana, I see purity and spontaneity. Untouched by commerce, untainted by envy even as an actor, I grow simply by watching them. The truth is that I dont want to be this famous but absentee father. I want my children to flower under my care. - Shahrukh

 * The children look like Gauri, but Thank God they have my brains! - Shahrukh

 * My daughter used to think I was Aamir Khan. She could not recognise me on screen. So much so that every time I came on screen she used to call out, `Aamir Khan'," - Shahrukh (with a big grin)

 * Though my wife thinks I'm mad, I know I'll drop my daughter to the parties she's invited to. I'll want her friends to say, "Wow what a handsome father you have!" When she's with her boyfriend in the backseat of our car, I'll be at the wheel, driving her around. - Shahrukh

 * My health is priority —because of my children. So the priority actually would be the kids. I need to make sure that in the next one year I get back to a healthy state of affairs so that I can last with them a little longer.Everything else comes second. - Shahrukh

Alex

 * Did you manage to manufacture some of the Z's?
 * I am unequivocally tall. I do not know any women who are taller than me. Women who are taller than me are lesbians, for whom 1969 was a very momentous year.
 * Many women want to be carnal with me because I am such a premium dancer.
 * Forgive my speaking of English, Jonfen, as I'm not so premium with it.
 * Please do not be distressed. This is only the driver's seeing-eye bitch.
 * My grandfather informs me that this is not possible.
 * [Referring to the dog] This is Sammy Davis Jr. Jr... She is Grandfather's Seeing Eye bitch. Father purchased her for him not because he believes Grandfather is blind, but because a Seeing Eye bitch is also a good thing for people who pine for the opposite of loneliness. In truth, Father did not purchase her at all, but merely retrieved her from the home for forgetful dogs. Because of this, she is not a real Seeing Eye bitch, and is also mentally deranged.
 * Okay, so she is deranged, but so so playful.
 * I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. Jonathan, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine.
 * I am especially beloved of American movies, muscular cars, and hip-hop music. I also dig negroes, most of all Michael Jackson, because he is such a first-rate dancer, like me. Many girls want to be carnal with me, because I am such a premium dancer.
 * (to Jonathan) Make sure to secure the door when I am gone. I do not want to make you petrified person but there are many dangerous people who want to take things from Americans... and also kidnap them. Okay? Goodnight!

Jonathan

 * Well, I read in my guidebook that you can't find Marlboro cigarettes here so you should take them everywhere as tips.

Lista

 * No, it does not exist for you. You exist for it. You have come because it exists.

Dialogue

 * Grandfather: Do you speak English?
 * Alex: Yes, I'm almost fluid.

 * Alex: He wants to know how far we are to Lutsk.
 * Grandfather: Maybe I can pull over, and you two can f*** yourselves the rest of the way to Lutsk.

 * Lista: May I ask you a question?
 * Grandfather: Yes, of course.
 * Lista: Is the war over?

 * Alex: How much currency would a first-rate accountant receive in America?
 * Jonathan: I don't know, a lot, probably, if he or she is good.
 * Alex: She?
 * Jonathan: Or he.
 * Alex: Are there Negro accountants?
 * Jonathan: Yes, there are African American accountants, but you don't want to use that word.
 * Alex: And homosexual accountants?
 * Jonathan: There are homosexual everythings. There are homosexual garbage men.
 * Alex: [shocked] And how much currency would a Negro homosexual accountant receive?
 * Jonathan: You really shouldn't use that word.
 * Alex: Which word?
 * Jonathan: The N-word. It's not the N-word, but...
 * Alex: Negro?
 * Jonathan: Yeah, that one.
 * Alex: But I dig them all the way. They are premium people.

Quotes

 * I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less than we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.
 * Adam Duritz, about "A Murder of One", from August and Everything After (1993)
