The Associated Press reports that this quip brought the crowd of mourners to its feet.

 * I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag.

 * I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.

 * Of the Reagan Administration, she said, “Half of it was under average—the other half was under indictment.”

 * Of Pat Buchanan’s culture war speech at the 1992 Republican convention, she said, it “probably read better in the original German.”

 * I don’t have an agenda, I don’t have a program. I’m not a communist or a socialist. I guess I’m a left-libertarian and a populist, and I believe in the Bill of Rights the way some folks believe in the Bible.

 * On How to survive Newt Gingrich: “Ah, my friends, rejoice. These are frabjous days. Our nation survived eight years of Ronald Reagan as President. We can survive this, too. We can even laugh. All it takes is a strong stomach.”

 * On Rush Limbaugh: "I'm not entirely neutral in this regard. I've been attacked on his show. It doesn't particularly hurt, but it kind of leaves you with a slimy feeling afterward. Kind of being nibbled on the ankle by a slug." (speech broadcast on NPR)

 * On Deregulation: “When last we left that merry band of Republican brothers in Congress, they were deregulating shit on beef.”

 * On Clinton’s sex scandal: “I do not believe the President’s sex life is any of our business. After thirty years of political reporting, I have been unable to establish a link between marital fidelity and high performance in public office. It really doesn’t matter who they screw in private, as long as they don’t screw the public.”

 * On Clinton’s sex scandal: “With all due respect to the President’s private parts, we do have bigger problems in this country.”

 * On the Failure of Democracy: “One reason I really like living in a democracy is that the citizens get what they want. I know you’ve all noticed the widespread grassroots movement surging with people rallying behind banners that say, ‘We want banks and stockbrokers to merge,’ ‘We love this system of campaign financing,’ ‘We want dirtier air and dirtier water,’ ‘We demand tax breaks for the rich,’ ‘We want fewer services for the rest of us,’ ‘Don’t fix our schools,’ ‘More downsizing,’ and ‘Tax breaks for corporations moving to Mexico.’
 * These Gore people have no idea how to steal an election. What happened to the Democrats? They used to have some skill at this.

 * I’ve been trying to find the depths in Bush’s shallow. . . . Maybe we should add a rule that we can’t invade any country the President can’t pronounce.

 * My worry is that Bush is painting himself into a corner with his rhetoric. This is not a war; it’s a gigantic police operation in the face of a crime beyond all understanding. . ..

 * Back home in Texas, and the sign outside our neighborhood strip joint says, “Hot Babes, Cold Beer, Nuke ’Em, GW.

 * Despite frequent reports from patriotic news media, I am unpersuaded that since September 11, George W. Bush has become a giant among men. . . . A year ago, he couldn’t tell the Grecians from the Timorians, and now he’s stuck with the mother of all foreign policy crises. . . . I’m praying for him. Mostly what I pray is, ‘Dear Lord, please don’t let Dubya screw this one up.’

 * It’s hard to convince people you are bombing that you’re doing it for their own good.

 * Enron is the gift that keeps on giving. Yes, there is joy in Mudville. Wallow away.

 * Bush is the mascot of crony capitalism.

 * There are three things one must not do in the face of electoral disaster. Whine. Despair. Or fall for that specious old radical crap: ‘Things have to get worse before they can get better.’ The only possible response to that one is, ‘Not with my child’s life.’ Nor is it helpful to sit around hoping that given enough rope, the R’s will hang themselves. They’ll hang us along with them. The only thing to do is to fight harder and smarter.

 * You have to admit: The corporations are getting prompt service from Republicans in return for their donations.

 * Well, beloveds, it looks like war. I want to talk to all of you who tried to stop this. You did not fight in vain.

 * So constant is the reiteration of the words ‘coalition,’ ‘coalition forces,’ and ‘coalition position’ that you might assume one actually exists. . . . Eritrea and Ethiopia do not a coalition make.

 * We knew going in this was going to be the peace from hell, and so far the Administration has made every misstep possible.

 * I have a suggestion for a withdrawal deadline: Let’s leave Iraq before we’ve killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein did.

 * Robert Novak and Charles Krauthammer both claim to have “never seen anything like the detestation of Bush. . . . Oh, I stretch memory way back, so far back, all the way back to—our last President. Almost lost in the mists of time though it is, I not only remember eight years of relentless attacks from Clinton-haters, I also notice they haven’t let up yet. . . . ‘The puzzle is where this depth of feeling comes from,’ mused the ineffable Krauthammer. Gosh, what a puzzle that is. How could anyone not be just crazy about George W. Bush?

 * I realize this is not breaking news, but we are looking at something exceptional in political history with this race. . . . The Internet is breaking open old power structures and set ways of doing things. Most campaign consultants have no idea what do with it or about it. How delightful.

 * Being curious, taking an interest in other cultures, and enjoying travel were all characteristics of Bill Clinton. . . . Bush pretty much embodies the reverse. . . . He’s not bright enough to be President. . . . He neither reads, nor writes, nor speaks well. It turns out that a C average is not good enough for the Presidency.

 * No one can spin away a mess as big as Iraq. Recognizing reality may not solve a problem. but it has to be the start of any solution.

 * Then there’s Bush’s slightly alarming claim to the Amish on July 9 that God speaks through him. That’s what he said, God speaks through him. This raises some troubling prospects. First of all, I think God has a better grasp of subject-verb agreement than George W. Bush do. Also, when Bush changes his mind, as he frequently does, do we conclude that God had to rethink things after the polls came out?

 * I can think of nothing more likely to convince the people not to vote for Republicans again for a long, long time than four more years of George W. Bush. . . . Of course we’ll laugh again, progressives. But I am into action now. So let’s have at ’em.

 * Friends, soulwise, these are trying times. Now is the time for all good citizens to come to the aid of our country, and it won’t help if you all cower in places like Madison and the Upper West Side, having hot fantods over the approach of fascism. To the barricades, team. And for Lord’s sake, don’t leave your sense of humor behind.

 * On Tom Delay: "The guy smells like a slop jar.”

 * You can stick a fork in Bush, he’s done. It’s all over except for the next three years, and if that doesn’t scare the bejeezus out of you, you haven’t got a lick of sense.”

 * Either we figure out how to keep corporate cash out of the political system, or we lose the democracy.”

 * On Immigration: “The Fence will not work. No fence will work. The Great darn Wall of China will not work. Undocumented immigrants will come anyway. Over, under, or through. Anyone who says a fence can fix this problem is a demagogue and an ass.”

 * Listen, a populist is someone who is for the people and against the powerful, and so a populist is generally the same as a liberal—except we tend to have more fun.”

 * "Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful. I only aim at the powerful. When satire is aimed at the powerless, it is not only cruel -- it's vulgar."

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 1984 American slasher film about a spectral child murderer who stalks, in their dreams, the children of the members of the lynch mob that killed him.
 * Written and directed by Wes Craven.

Sleep Kills. taglines

Freddy Krueger

 * I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy.

Children

 * [singing] One, two, Freddy's coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab your crucifix. Seven, eight, gonna stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again.

Dialogue

 * Nancy: Fingernails? That's amazing, you saying that. It made me remember the dream I had last night.
 * Tina: What'd you dream?
 * Nancy: I dreamed about this guy in a dirty red and green sweater.
 * Tina: But what about the fingernails?
 * Nancy: He scraped his fingernails along things. Actually, they were more like finger-knives or something, like he'd made them himself. Anyway, they made this horrible sound. [imitates screeching sound]
 * Tina: Nancy. You dreamed about the same creep I did, Nancy.
 * Glen: That's impossible.

 * Tina: Please God...
 * Freddy: [revealing his knives] This... is God.

 * Nancy: [about Krueger] What'd he look like? You get a look at him?
 * Rod: No.
 * Nancy: Well then how can you say somebody else was there?
 * Rod: Because somebody cut her. While I watched.
 * Nancy: And you didn't get a look at the guy?
 * Rod: I couldn't see the fucker. You could just see the cuts happening, all at once.
 * Nancy: What do you mean all at once?
 * Rod: I mean it was as if there were four knives [looking down at his hand] cutting at the same time. But invisible ones. I probably could've saved her if I'd moved sooner. But I thought it was just another nightmare, like the one I had the night before. There was this guy who had knives for fingers.

 * Nancy: What I learned in the dream clinic. That's what I'm trying to prove, Mother. Rod didn't kill Tina and he didn't hang himself. There's this guy; he's after us in our dreams.
 * Marge: But that's just not reality, Nancy.
 * Nancy: [pulling Krueger's hat out of a drawer] It's real, Momma. Feel it.
 * Marge: Give me that damn thing!
 * Nancy: His name is even in it, written right in here: Fred Krueger. Fred Krueger! Do you know who that is, Mother? Because if you do you better tell me 'cause he's after me now.
 * Marge: Nancy, trust your mother for once. You'll feel better as soon as you sleep.
 * Nancy: Feel better?! You call this feeling better?! Or should I grab a bottle and veg out with you. Avoid everything happening to me by just getting good and loaded.
 * [Marge slaps her]
 * Marge: Fred Krueger can't be after you, Nancy. He's dead! Fred Krueger is dead. Dead and gone. Believe me, I know. Now go to bed. I order you, go to bed.
 * Nancy: You knew about him all this time, and you've been acting like he was someone I made up!
 * Marge: You're sick, Nancy. Imagining things. You need to sleep, (picks up bottle of gin) it's as simple as that.
 * Nancy: [throws bottle of gin onto floor] Screw sleep!
 * Marge: Nancy! It's only a nightmare!
 * Nancy: That's enough!

 * Nancy: Mother! What's with the bars?
 * Marge: Security.
 * Nancy: Security? Security from what?
 * Marge: Not from what - from whom. Come down to the cellar. You want to know who Fred Krueger was? He was a filthy child murder who killed at least twenty kids in the neighborhood. Kids we all knew.
 * Nancy: Oh mom.
 * Marge: It drove us crazy when we didn't know who was doing it, but it was even worse after they caught him.
 * Nancy: Did they put him away?
 * Marge Well, the lawyers got fat and the judge got famous, but someone forgot to sign a search warrant in the right place and Krueger was free, just like that.
 * Nancy: What did you do, mother?
 * Marge : A bunch of us parents got together and tracked him down. We found him in old abandoned boiler room, where he used to take his kids.
 * Nancy: Go on.
 * Marge : We took gasoline and poured it all around the place and made a trail of it out the door. We lit the whole thing up and watched it burn. He's dead now. He's dead because Mommy killed him. [unwraps a cloth, showing Krueger's glove] I even took his knives. So it's okay. You can sleep now.

 * Nancy: [on the phone, about Glen] Hi, Daddy. I know what happened.
 * Lt. Thompson: I haven't been upstairs yet.
 * Nancy: Yeah, but you know he's dead, right?
 * Lt. Thompson: Yeah, apparently he's dead.
 * Nancy: Listen, Daddy, I've got a proposition for you. Listen very carefully, please.
 * Lt. Thompson: Nancy.
 * Nancy: I'm going to go and get the guy who did it, and I want you to be there to arrest him when I bring him out. Okay?
 * Lt. Thompson: Just tell me who did it. I'll go get him, baby.
 * Nancy: Fred Krueger did it, Daddy, and only I can get him. It's my nightmare he comes to.

 * Nancy: I know you're there, Krueger.
 * Freddy: You think you was gonna get away from me?
 * Nancy: I know you too well now, Freddy.
 * Freddy: And now you die.
 * Nancy: It's too late, Krueger. I know the secret now. This is just a dream. You're not alive. This whole thing is just a dream. I want my mother and friends again.
 * Freddy: You what?
 * Nancy: I take back every bit of energy I ever gave you. You're nothing. You're shit.

Apsley Cherry-Garrard

Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard (January 2, 1886 – May 18, 1959) was an English explorer of Antarctica.

Quotes

 * For a joint scientific and geographical piece of organization, give me Scott; for a Winter Journey, Wilson; for a dash to the Pole and nothing else, Amundsen: and if I am in the devil of a hole and want to get out of it, give me Shackleton every time.
 * The Worst Journey in the World (1922), Volume One, Preface, p. viii

 * They are extraordinarily like children, these little people of the Antarctic world, either like children, or like old men, full of their own importance and late for dinner, in their black tail-coats and white shirt-fronts — and rather portly withal.
 * The Worst Journey in the World (1922), Volume One, Chapter IV, p. 64
 * Personification of penguins.

 * Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised.
 * The Worst Journey in the World (1922), Volume One, Introduction, p. xvii

 * Written and directed by Michel Gondry.

Close your eyes. Open your heart. taglines

Stéphane Miroux

 * I am your neighbor and a liar. By the way, do you have Zoe's number?
 * Tonight I'll show you how dreams are prepared,............. love, friendships, relationships. All those ships.
 * Would you marry me when we are seventy? You have nothing to lose.
 * I like your boobs. I think they're very friendly and unpretentious.
 * Are you trying to mock me on the air?
 * P. S. R. Parallel Synchronized Randomness. An interesting brain rarity and our subject for today. Two people walk in opposite directions at the same time and then they make the same decision at the same time. Then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it. Basically, in a mathematical world these two little guys will stay looped for the end of time. The brain is the most complex thing in the universe and it's right behind the nose. [plays drums] Fascinating!
 * I like it when you cry, because it means you have to wear your glasses. No, actually I don't like it when you cry. I find it horrible. Especially when it's not for me.
 * I love her because she makes things. You know? She makes things with her hands. It's as if her synapses was married directly to her fingers. [wiggles fingers] Like this. In this way.
 * This girl is at once all the women that broke my heart. She is so beautiful and generous and she is asking me to leave because she is dumping me. She is dumping me because I am a cheap drug dealer. And I am a drug dealer because she wants to leave me.
 * I am collecting beautiful objects. A pair of shoes. Some glasses. Telephone. Typewriter. They are made from wool and felt. With apparent stitches. Their delicate, unfinished appearance is friendly. And they are quiet.
 * No, I can't speak French with you. I'm too shy. The only thing I can say is: "I like your tit. It erects me in my pants."
 * Well in my case the problem is that I don't have a girlfriend. And I'm not dead.
 * Stephanie, can you hold my hand? I cannot sleep...She takes it.
 * I'm exhausted, I'm going to wake up now.

Stéphanie

 * (1:06:11): Distraction is an obstruction to the construction.
 * (1:20:48): Things will turn out the way you want, if you could just stop doubting that I love you. Call me home, next door. Doot. Doot. Doot. Doot.

Dialogue

 * Stephane: [Shows 3-D glasses] You can see real life in 3-D.
 * Stéphanie: Isn't life already in 3-D?
 * Stephane: No but, yeah but, come on.

 * Stephane: It's like touching your penis with your left hand.
 * Stéphanie: I don't have a penis.
 * Stephane: But you have a left hand.

 * Stéphanie: Randomness is very difficult to achieve... organization always merges back if you don't pay attention.
 * Stephane: Death to organization.

 * Stéphanie: How's your head?
 * Stephane: It's okay. It's not normal though...
 * Stéphanie: It's never going to be.

 * Stéphanie:I'm not sure I should accept this gift. Why do I deserve a present anyway?
 * Stephane: Because...for the occasion that you are pretty.

 * Guy: [after throwing his TV into the canal] It floats!
 * Stephane: Yeah, it floats.
 * Guy: Maybe the fish will enjoy that crap.

 * Stéphanie: I have big hands.
 * Stephane: That means you have a large penis. [embarrassed] ...That was inappropriate.

 * Stéphanie: Why me?
 * Stephane: Because everyone else is boring. And because you're different. You don't like me, Stéphanie.

 * Stéphanie: Stephane, wait. Do you feel better?
 * Stephane: I'm going to work
 * Stéphanie: I just wanted to know if you're okay.
 * Stephane: Yeah I'm super fine thanks.
 * Stéphanie: So I get it, so you dont want to be my friend anymore?
 * Stephane: No! I don't want to be your friend anymore!I don't want to be your friend anymore! Do I have to nail it on your door? "I don't want to be your friend."
 * Stéphanie: No you, you can't, you can't stop being my friend. It's not something people can decide.
 * Stephane: Oh yeah they can. People have an argument and they stop talking to each other.
 * Stéphanie: Okay then lets have a date or something and we can talk about things if thats whats you want.
 * Stephane: Whats the point you'll just want me as your friend and then you'll have a really nice boyfriend and that will kill me.

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 Donald. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Donald~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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

David Fincher

David Leo Fincher (born August 28, 1962) is an American music video and film director known for his dark and stylish portraits of the human experience.

Gavin Smith goes one-on-one with David Fincher (1999)
Interview with Film Comment magazine, October/November 1999 issue

 * A stylized version of our IKEA present. It is talking about very simple concepts. We're designed to be hunters and we're in a society of shopping. There's nothing to kill anymore, there's nothing to fight, nothing to overcome, nothing to explore. In that societal emasculation this everyman is created.
 * About Fight Club

 * We wanted a title sequence that started in the fear center of the brain. [When you hear] the sound of a gun being cocked that's in your mouth, the part of you brain that gets everything going, that realizes that you are fucked - we see all the thought processes, we see the synapses firing, we see the chemical electrical impulses that are the call to arms. And we wanted to sort of follow that out. Because the movie is about thought, it's about how this guy thinks. And it's from his point of view, solely. So I liked the idea of starting a movie from thought, from the beginning of the first fear impulse that went, Oh shit, I'm fucked, how did I get here?
 * About the opening shot of Fight Club

 * You want to be able to provide something, and you're pissing down a fucking well. It will suck you dry and take everything you have and, like being a parent, you can pour as much love as you want, and your kid still says, "Just let me right out here, you don't have to take me all the way." You're working to make yourself obsolete. I'm not going to make Persona - my movies are fairly obvious in what the people want and what it is that's happening; it;s not that internalized. What's internalized is how you process the information from the singular, subjective point of view. And that becomes the subtext of it.
 * About directing films

 * Film-making encompasses everything, from tricking people into investing in it, to putting on the show, to trying to distill down to moments in time, and ape reality but send this other message. It's got everything. When I was a kid I loved to draw, and I loved my electric football sets, and I painted little things and made sculptures and did matte painting and comic books and illustrated stuff, and took pictures, had a darkroom, loved to tape-record stuff. It's all of that. It's not having to grow up. It's four-dimensional chess, it's strategy, and it's being painfully honest, and unbelievably deceitful, and everything in between.

Fightin Words (1999)
Interview with drDrew.com about Fight Club

 * The movie is not that violent. There are ideas in the movie that are scary, but the film isn't about violence, the glorification of violence or the embracing of violence. In the movie, violence is a metaphor for feeling. It's a film about the problems or requirements involved with being masculine in today's society.

 * Violence shouldn't be presented as drama. I think people looking for an easy way out often write scenes where characters come into violent conflict as opposed to looking for the true drama in the situation. That's a shortcoming of a lot of films and television shows. I think certain presentations of violence are not immoral, but amoral.

 * I find it amoral if you're making a movie where the problem is solved with a guy standing in the back of pickup truck firing a machine at the bad guys. The morality of it is questionable because the repercussions of violence are incredibly far-reaching.

 * I do like movies that take a toll on the audience. I want to work the subconscious. I want to involve you in ways in which you might not necessarily want to get involved. I want to play off those things that you're expecting to get when the lights go down and the 20th Century Fox logo comes up. There's an audience expectation and I'm interested in how movies play with--and off--that expectation. That's what I'm interested in.

A Talk With David Fincher (1999)
Interview with dvdtalk.com

 * I always feel ill-prepared for commentaries and it had been so long I was afraid I'd forget everything that happened on the film. But having everybody come together for it was really great. It was like a high school reunion. We all reminisced and just had a great time.

 * Oh, yeah, I love DVD's. I don't have what you'd call an extensive collection, maybe a couple of hundred or so. But I have something on almost all the time.

 * There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of. I'll put one of those on and be puttering around the house. Then a certain scene will come on and I'll just have to go over and watch.

 * You know, I don't think I've ever listened to someone's commentary. Ever.

 * I tend to over-intellectualize things, to come at them from a structural point.

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)
By Brian Mockenhaupt, Esquire Magazine, March 2007 issue

 * I don't have the Tom Hanks fans. When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people.

 * You can do something that walks a line, and invariably, whatever that line is, it will be crossed by people who don't know any better and want to ape the success.

 * I want to make a movie that has enough impact that it's going to do what it needs to do. But I don't want to make a film that serial killers masturbate to.
 * About the film, Zodiac

 * For me, the scariest thing about a serial killer is that there's somebody who lives next door to you, running power tools late into the night, and you don't know he has a refrigerator full of penises.

 * As much as people pretend 'I fit in, I understand, I get the rules,' there are always times spent away from that where you go, 'I thought I knew. It seemed so clear to me, and then...' That sense of loneliness, or the sense of not fitting in or being out of depth, is probably the most common denominator.

 * Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine. Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything's not okay.

 * You have a responsibility for the way you make the audience feel, and I want them to feel uncomfortable.

 * Hollywood is great. I also think it's stupid and small-minded and shortsighted. I'm sure there are people who get into movies so they can get nice tables at restaurants.

 * You can either look at your career as the things you're going to leave behind, and they have to be executed flawlessly and you have to know exactly what it is that you're doing. Or you can be realistic about the fact that you're going to learn as you practice what you do.

2011 Golden Globe Award Ceremony (2011)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_ycoQbhOD8

 * About the film, The Social Network

 * I thought it was so strange because I normally make these pitch-black studies of misanthropes or the occasional movie about serial killers, sowhat could the possibly see in this material for me.

 * Thank you to the stellar collection of photographers, designers, editors, musicians, costumers, painters, researchers, electricians and craftspeople who without whom I'd just be a bitter man with a lot of opinions

About David Fincher

 * He's just scary smart, sort of smarter than everyone else in the room. There's just a handful of these people who know absolutely everything about the process. They could do everyone's job brilliantly. Every aspect is under their control.
 * Producer Laura Ziskin, The Curious Case of David Fincher, By Brian Mockenhaupt, Esquire Magazine, March 2007 issue

Wikiquote:Why create an account?

'''Create an account now (secure server) '''

You do not have to log in to read Wikiquote. You don't have to log in even to edit articles on Wikiquote —  just about anyone can edit almost any article at any given time, even without logging in, and many long-time contributors do not log in. Nevertheless, creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, and it's generally considered a good idea to do so for a variety of reasons.

Blocked?
Shared IP addresses such as school and company networks or proxy servers are frequently blocked for vandalism which often affects many innocent editors on the same network. However, registered users in good standing can request existing blocks on their IP address be modified to only affect anonymous editors so that they can continue contributing to Wikiquote. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, we suggest the following:
 * Try again after the block on your IP address expires. Go to my contributions and follow the Block log link at the top of that page to find the length of the block.
 * Create an account at home and then log in at your school or workplace, if you are blocked there or vice versa.
 * Ask a trusted friend on a different network to create an account for you. Be sure to change your password once you are logged in.
 * Use Wikimedia's secure server at https://secure.wikimedia.org/, this may bypass your network's proxy server.

Abilities given to users with account

 * The ability to start new pages, including your user page.
 * The ability to edit semi-protected page (your account must be at least four days old to do this, but these pages can never be edited by unregistered users).
 * The ability to rename pages.

Other benefits

 * The use of a username of your choice, provided that it is appropriate and available.
 * The ability to easily review all your contributions via a "My contributions" link.
 * The use of your own personal Wikiquote page watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you.
 * The ability to customize the appearance and behavior of the website for your viewing.
 * Become eligible for potentially taking on the role of a Wikiquote administrator.
 * The right to be heard in elections and have your vote count.
 * Your IP address will no longer be visible to other users meaning you will have greater privacy. (However, your IP address is still saved and accessible to users with Checkuser permission.)

Username
If you create an account, you can pick a username provided it is available and unique. Edits you make while logged in will be assigned to that name. That means you will get full credit for your contributions in the page history (when not logged in, the edits are just assigned to your IP address). You can also view all your contributions by clicking the "My contributions" link, which is visible only when you are logged in.

You will have your own permanent user page where you can write a bit about yourself. Many users use their user page to maintain a list of the articles they are most proud of, or to collect other valuable information from Wikiquote.

You will have a permanent user talk page you can use to communicate with other users. You will be notified whenever someone writes a message on your talk page. If you choose to give an e-mail address, other users will be able to contact you by e-mail. This feature is anonymous; the user who emails you will not know your e-mail address.

Mandy.arms@icloud.com ===Reputation and privacy=== You don't need to reveal your offline identity, but having an account gives you a fixed Wikiquote identity that other users will recognize. While we welcome anonymous contributions, logging in lets you build trust and respect through a history of good edits. It is also easier to communicate and collaborate with an editor if we know who you are (at least, who you are on Wikiquote). It is also easier for veteran users to assume good faith from new users who take the effort to create an account (and you may well become a veteran user yourself some day!). You may well be afforded a great deal less leeway if you do not go to the trouble of making up a username.

Please understand that Wikiquote gets vandalized, spammed, and information gets uploaded by people who just want to advertise. Information sources need to be verified and Wikiquote needs a way to distinguish reliable contributors and sources.

If you are not logged in, all your edits are publicly associated with your IP address at the time of that edit. If you log in, all your edits are publicly associated with your account name, and are internally associated with your IP address. See Wikiquote's privacy policy for more information on this practice.

You are actually more anonymous (though more pseudonymous) logged in than you are as an "anonymous" editor, owing to the hiding of your IP. You might want to consider various factors, including privacy and the possibility of offline harassment, when selecting a username.

The privacy implications of this vary, depending on the nature of your Internet Service Provider, local laws and regulations, and the nature and quantity of your edits to Wikiquote. Be aware that Wikiquote technologies and policies may change.

New editing options
The MediaWiki software that powers Wikiquote provides several features only registered users can use. Registered users may mark edits as "minor". Editors can choose to filter minor edits from the list of recent changes. Anonymous members don't have the privilege to mark edits as minor because the persons behind the IP Address can be multiple users, so a basis of trust cannot be built.

One very important feature which active contributors will likely use a lot are watchlists. You will get a new link "Watch this page" (or a new tab "watch") on every page you view. If you click that link, a page will be added to your watchlist. This list is basically a filtered view of the "Recent changes" page which shows only changes that were recently made to items in your watchlist. This way you can keep track of pages you work on without having to follow all changes.

To maintain structure and consistency on Wikiquote, only registered users can create or rename pages.

Many user preferences
Aside from these features, you can customize the way MediaWiki behaves in great detail by altering your Preferences at special:preferences. There you can change the following display settings:
 * Under skin: choose between various options as to the appearance of the website.
 * Under math: how mathematical formulas are displayed.
 * Under files: how large image thumbnails are displayed

And various editing preferences:
 * How to sign your name
 * How large the editing box should be
 * How pages should be displayed in recent changes
 * and many others (they're pretty self-explanatory),

Administrator status
Administrators (sometimes known as sysops, short for System Operator) can delete and restore pages, protect them from being edited, edit protected pages, and block users for violation of our policies. They generally carry out the will of the Wiki community on pages such as Votes for deletion.

Only signed-in users can become administrators. Although individual standards vary, any user who has contributed regularly for several months in a positive way will be seriously considered for the role; although any user may apply at any point, very new users will find promotion impossible. For a rough guide to the standards some users expect of administration candidates see this page.

If you are a signed-in user and want to be an administrator, see Requests for adminship for more information.
