The Critic

The Critic is an American prime time animated series revolving around the life of New York film critic Jay Sherman, voiced by actor Jon Lovitz. It was created by writing partners Al Jean and Mike Reiss, who had previously worked as writers and showrunners (seasons 3 and 4) on The Simpsons. The Critic had 23 episodes produced, first broadcast on ABC in 1994, and finishing its original run on Fox in 1995. It later reran on both Cartoon Network Spain and Comedy Central, alongside Duckman.

Pilot [1.1]

 * Jay Sherman: And that's me on the set of Dances With Wolves. They gave me a small part; I played "Throws Like a Girl."

 * Jay Sherman: Now for the part that you love most and I find humiliating, on the Shermometer, this film rates an "absolute zero!" Brrr!

 * Duke: Why the hell do you have to be so critical?
 * Jay: I'm a critic.
 * Duke: No, your job is to rate movies on a scale from good to excellent.
 * Jay: What if I don't like them?
 * Duke: That's what good is for.

 * Jay: Now Son, you may just have noticed there was a beautiful woman in my bed.
 * Marty: I won't tell anyone.
 * Jay: Actually, I wish you would tell everyone. Particularly, your mother and her personal trainer, Alberto.

 * Jay: I'm not going to stop loving you after I've been decaying in the ground for 200 years.
 * Eleanor: (Angrily) Can't one dinner go by where we don't talk about your rotting corpse?

 * (Jay and Marty playing the arcade game "Escape from the Big Apple")
 * Marty: Hurry up Dad, you've only got ten seconds to get to Long Island.
 * Jay: Uh-oh, Yankee Stadium is emptying out!
 * Marty: And it's Nickel Beer Day! (Character jumps over crowd)
 * Jay: Oh no, the Reverend Al Sharpton!
 * Al Sharpton: Blah-Blah-Blah! Blah-Blah-Blah! Blah-Blah-Blah! Blah-Blah-Blah! Blah---
 * (Character turns into a skeleton and dies, "Game Over" screen appears)

 * Jay: Did you ever love a woman so much that --
 * Taxi Driver: Look at sign!
 * Sign: Driver Only Speaks Three Words Of English.

 * Jay: Please, you've got to tell me. Did a beautiful woman leave my apartment?
 * Valet: I wouldn't know. I've been drinking in the alley all morning.

 * Jay: Why are you telling me this?
 * Jeremy: Because you’re the only decent guy I’ve met in this dreadful country. I love you, mate.
 * Jay: Wow. That's twice in one day.
 * Vlada: I love you too!
 * Jay: You just love my money.
 * Vlada: That is true, but it is a love that will never die.

Marty's First Date [1.2]

 * Jay Sherman: Well, I can sink a $50 million musical using only the word "Crap"!

 * Jay Sherman: Son, if there's one thing I know, it's how to read a woman. For example, that woman over there thinks I'm disgusting, and that woman thinks I'm Bigfoot! And that woman is wondering if she should call the cops to have me thrown out of the school.

 * Jay Sherman: (Singing to the opera tune Ride of the Valkyries) Give me your french fries! Give me your pot pies! I'll have a large size soft-serve ice cream!

A Little Deb Will Do Ya [1.5]

 * Jay: Hey look Mom, you and Hoover came out on the same day.
 * Eleanor: Don't you say that about your Uncle Edgar.

Every Doris Has Her Day [1.7]

 * Jay Sherman: At last, I've found my biological mother. I can finally undo years of psychological scarring! All that's left now is my failed marriage, my blood curdling senior prom, and the trauma of my ill-conceived canoe trip through hillbilly country.

 * (a group of college kids are watching Jay on TV)
 * College Kid #1: Coming up next: The Crispy Critic.
 * College Kid #2: Man, you got it all. Handsome as Beavis, funny as Butthead.

 * Jay: I've never felt so wimpy in my whole life. (to Jeremy): How come you never question your manhood.
 * Jeremy: I sleep with many beautiful women, I drive fast cars, and carry an unlicensed gun. I play judge, jury, and executioner for this scum-filled world.
 * Jay: But that's in the movies. That's not reality.
 * Jeremy: They're not all movies. One was an episode of The Commish.

L.A. Jay [1.9]

 * Jay: All right, it's just you and me. Now what did you think of my script?
 * Gary Grossman: It was excrement.
 * Jay: Did you say it was excellent?
 * Gary Grossman: It was crummy.
 * Jay: Did you say it was yummy?
 * Gary Grossman: It was an awful piece of junk that made me want to puke all night.
 * Jay: Did you say it was an awesome piece of spunk that you want to shoot tonight?
 * Gary Grossman: It was a bilious piece of dirt that made me cry out in pain.
 * Jay: Did you say it was a brilliant piece of work, and you'll fly me to Spain? Where we'll meet King Juan Carlos and drink sangria all night?
 * Gary Grossman: You piece of blech.

 * The Devil: (After being asked by his aide if Wings could still be aired for another season) Tell them there are limits to even my powers!

 (on his episode of Coming Attractions after writing Ghostchasers III)
 * Jay: Hello, and welcome to Coming Attractions. Our first film is Ghostchasers III. I helped write this picture, but believe me when I say that this is the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE! Attention, L.A. street gangs: why kill each other when there are more deserving movie executives just miles from your home? Their addresses are...
 * (smash cut to a pink card with a "Viewer Advisory" scroll on it)

A Day at the Races and a Night at the Opera [1.11]

 * Jay: Mom? Dad? I never made you laugh?
 * Franklin: Well, I did chuckle a bit when you tried to eat that bird and fell over the cliff.
 * Elenor: No, Franklin. That was the roadrunner.
 * Jay: (Shamefully) No, that was me.

 * Jay: Ardeth. How’s my favorite ex-wife?

 * Doris: Ah, come on. Everyone has hidden talents. Like me. I’m a whiz with smoke rings. Watch.
 * (Doris inhales from her cigarette and blows out a spiraling ring of smoke that transforms into a demonic-like shape)
 * Smoke: (Diabolically) Doris … Tick Tock!
 * Doris: That was supposed to be a bunny.

 * Alice: (Introducing herself and her daughter to Jay) I'm Alice Tompkins and this is my daughter Penny.
 * Penny: You didn't like The Lion King! You're mean! (Punches Jay in the nose)
 * Alice: Penny!
 * Jay: It's all right. Rex Reed did the same thing.
 * Penny: I'm sorry. (Kisses him on the nose)
 * Jay: Aww. Rex did that too.

 * Jay: (Singing to the tune I’m A Little Teapot) I'm a happy critic, short and stout. I'll have a brisket.

 * (Jay sighs dissapointingly)

(Throws paper away, starts typing again) "Meathead, Laverne, and Opie: Great Filmmakers of Our Day." (Puts his hands to his head) AAH!
 * From Eyes on the Prize

 * I am a movie critic by trade, and until recently, I got paid to tell you people which movies merely stink and which ones you shouldn’t screen near an open flame. Well, I’m putting the burden of lousy movies back on you. It’s very simple: if you stop going to bad movies, they’ll stop making bad movies. If the movie used to be a TV show, just don’t go. After Roman numeral II, give it a rest. If it's a remake of a classic, rent the classic. Tell them you want stories about people, not a hundred million dollars of stunts and explosives. People, it’s up to you. If the movie stinks, just don’t go.
 * From Eyes on the Prize

 * So you're not good at sports, we'll just have to find out what you are good at. In my case, it's complaining about movies that bring happiness to idiots.

 * From Dr. Jay

 * From Sherman, Woman and Child

 * From Sherman, Woman and Child

 * (Jay's poem to Alice, which he reads to her) The woman I love will be my best friend. We'll make each other laugh, and I'll never be lonely again. Her name will be Alice, and she'll have a sweet Southern accent, and I hope she'll love me too.

Hi. You added quotes to Anything Goes, which is in VfD. If you feel the article should be kept, and your contributions with them, might I suggest that you do the following: Thanks in advance, MosheZadka 07:07, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Add your vote to the relevant VfD discussion.
 * Add identifying information to the article (see my comments in the above-mentioned discussion).

Hello, I totally agree with MosheZadka, and also recommend you to register yourself, specially if you would like to vote on Votes for deletion. Thanks. --Aphaia 07:36, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd like to add a third suggestion to the above ones. Since your two edits to date have been for musicals, I assume you are a musical theater fan. We could really use your help in developing our articles in this genre. If you're interested, you might take a look at Pippin to see some useful formatting and links for theater articles. I'd also recommend registering, so we can associate you with a name and give you credit for your contributions. (If you're concerned about anonymity, registration is actually more anonymous. You can be identified by IP address here, but as a registered user, it's impossible for anyone but developers to tell where you're from, and you don't have to provide an email address if you don't wish to.) Feel free to post any questions you may have to me on my talk page. — Jeff Q (talk) 10:30, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

William Ralph Inge

William Ralph Inge (6 June 1860 – 26 February 1954), popularly referred to simply as Dean Inge, was an English author, Anglican prelate, professor of divinity at Cambridge, and Dean of St Paul's Cathedral.

Christian Mysticism (1899)

 * No word in our language — not even "Socialism"— has been employed more loosely than "Mysticism." … The history of the word begins in close connexion with the Greek mysteries. A mystic is one who has been, or is being, initiated into some esoteric knowledge of Divine things, about which he must keep his mouth shut…
 * Christian Mysticism (1899), Preface

 * The phase of thought or feeling which we call Mysticism has its origin in that which is the raw material of all religion, and perhaps of all philosophy and art as well, namely, that dim consciousness of the beyond, which is part of our nature as human beings. Men have given different names to these "obstinate questionings of sense and outward things." We may call them, if we will, a sort of higher instinct, perhaps an anticipation of the evolutionary process; or an extension of the frontier of consciousness; or, in religious language, the voice of God speaking to us. Mysticism arises when we try to bring this higher consciousness into relation with the other contents of our minds.
 * Christian Mysticism (1899), Preface

Light, Life, and Love: Selections from the German Mystics of the Middle Ages (1904)

 * True contemplation considers Reality (or Being) in its manifestations as well as in its origin. If this is remembered, there need be no conflict between social morality and the inner life. Eckhart recognises that it is a harder and a nobler task to preserve detachment in a crowd than in a cell; the little daily sacrifices of family life are often a greater trial than selfimposed mortifications. "We need not destroy any little good in ourselves for the sake of a better, but we should strive to grasp every truth in its highest meaning, for no one good contradicts another." "Love God, and do as you like, say the Free Spirits. Yes; but as long as you like anything contrary to God's will, you do not love Him." There is much more of the same kind in Eckhart's sermons — as good and sensible doctrine as one could find anywhere.
 * Light, Life, and Love: Selections from the German Mystics of the Middle Ages (1904), p. xxx - PDF and epub at Google Books

St Paul (1914)

 * The old civilisation, with all the brilliant qualities which make many moderns regret its destruction, rested on too narrow a base. The woman and the slave were left out, the woman especially by the Greeks, and the slave by the Romans.
 * January 1914, p. 61

Outspoken Essays (1919/1922)

 * Patriotism varies, from a noble devotion to a moral lunacy.
 * "Our Present Discontents" (August 1919) in Outspoken Essays (1919), p. 2

 * It is becoming impossible for those who mix at all with their fellow-men to believe that the grace of God is distributed denominationally.
 * "Our Present Discontents" (August 1919) in Outspoken Essays (1919), p. 32

 * It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
 * "Patriotism" (August 1919) in Outspoken Essays (1919), pp. 42-43

 * The fruit of the tree of knowledge, always drives man from some paradise or other.
 * "The Idea of Progress", Romanes Lecture (27 May 1920), reprinted in Outspoken Essays: Second Series (1922)

 * Civilization is a disease which is almost invariably fatal.
 * "The Idea of Progress", Romanes Lecture (27 May 1920), reprinted in Outspoken Essays: Second Series (1922)

 * We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
 * "The Idea of Progress", Romanes Lecture (27 May 1920), reprinted in Outspoken Essays: Second Series (1922)

 * I believe that the accumulated experience of mankind, and his wonderful discoveries, are of great value. I only point out that they do not constitute real-progress in human nature itself,...
 * "The Idea of Progress", Romanes Lecture (27 May 1920), reprinted in Outspoken Essays: Second Series (1922)

 * I have never understood why it should be considered derogatory to the Creator to suppose that he has a sense of humour.
 * "Confessio Fidei", Outspoken Essays (Second Series) (1922)

Democracy and the future (1922)

 * So the pendulum swings, now violently, now slowly; and every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.
 * "Democracy and the Future" The Atlantic Monthly (March 1922)

Lay Thoughts of a Dean (1926)

 * Looking back, I think I can separate the years when I was happy and those when I was unhappy. But perhaps at the time I should have judged differently.
 * Lay Thoughts of a Dean (1926), p210.

 * On the whole, the happiest people seem to be those who have no particular cause for being happy except the fact that they are so.
 * Lay Thoughts of a Dean (1926), p211.

Assessments and Anticipations (1929)

 * When our first parents were driven out of Paradise, Adam is believed to have remarked to Eve: "My dear, we live in an age of transition."
 * Assessments and Anticipations (1929), p. 261

 * Events in the past may be roughly divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter. This is what makes the trade of historian so attractive.
 * Assessments and Anticipations, "Prognostications" (1929)

More Lay Thoughts of a Dean (1931)

 * There are two kinds of fools: one says, "This is old, therefore it is good"; the other says, "This is new, therefore it is better."
 * More Lay Thoughts of a Dean (1931), p. 200

The End of an Age: and other essays (1948)

 * A nation is a society united by a delusion about its ancestry and by a common hatred of its neighbours.
 * The End of an Age: and other essays (1948), p. 127

Misattributed

 * Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due.
 * Attributed to Inge in The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations (1993), which cites the London Observer, 14 February 1932. However, this aphorism was in circulation decades earlier, e.g., it features in an advertisement in The Grape Belt, 2 October 1906, p. 5

Greetings! This is my personal talk page. Pleas keep the line straight and in single file. Pleas, no vulgar remarks to me, and pleas include your signature. Thank you and have a pleasant day.

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

George Lakoff

George P. Lakoff (born 24 May 1941) is a professor of cognitive linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has taught since 1972. In recent years he has applied his work to the realm of politics.

Quotes

 * We know that someone who has channeled his anger into something constructive has not had a cow. How do we know these things?
 * Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things (1987)

 * Do we really think that the United States will have the protection of innocent Afghans in mind if it rains terror down on the Afghan infrastructure? We are supposedly fighting them because they immorally killed innocent civilians. That made them evil. If we do the same, are we any less immoral?
 * Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate — The Essential Guide for Progressives (2004) as quoted in the Washington Monthly (November 2004)

 * The Democrats had begun to use the basics of framing issues in terms of their own values and principles... Had they continued to argue with unity on the difference between 911 and Iraq, and on the fact that George Bush betrayed our troops and is weakening our country, they might have made it impossible for Bush to once again link Iraq with 911. Then they lost it. Karl Rove outsmarted the Democrats again. And he used the most basic trick in the book to do it... This time John Kerry stepped in to help Bush, basically supporting the president’s position but offering policy-wonk modifications. The message: Bush is basically right, except for some minor twiddles.
 * "Rove Rides Again — With the Help of the Democrats" in The Huffington Post (29 June 2005)

 * The moral of Katrina is mostly being missed. It is not just a failure of execution (William Kristol), or that bad things just happen (Laura Bush). It was not just indifference by the President, or a lack of accountability, or a failure of federal-state communication, or corrupt appointments in FEMA, or the cutting of budgets for fixing levees, or the inexcusable absence of the National Guard off in Iraq. It was all of these and more, but they are the effects, not the cause. The cause was political through and through — a matter of values and principles. The progressive-liberal values are America's values, and we need to go back to them. The heart of progressive-liberal values is simple: empathy (caring about and for people) and responsibility (acting responsibly on that empathy). These values translate into a simple principle: Use the common wealth for the common good to better all our lives. In short, promoting the common good is the central role of government.
 * "The Post-Katrina Era" at Alternet.org (6 September 2005)

It seems happiness is something that cannot be sought after, but something we all discover through the course of life and don't realize what it is until the end.
