Original sin

Original sin is, according to Christian tradition, the general condition of sinfulness into which human beings are born.

Quotes

 * It is a question here not of ethical guilt (how could the child acquire it?) but rather of the natural kind, which befalls human beings not by decision and action but by negligence and celebration. When they turn their attention away from the human and succumb to the power of nature, then natural life, which in man preserves its innocence only so long as natural life binds itself to something higher, drags the human down. With the disappearance of supernatural life in man, his natural life turns into guilt, even without his committing an act contrary to ethics.
 * Walter Benjamin, "Goethe's Elective Affinities," Walter Benjamin: Selected Writings: Volume 1, 1913-1926 (1996), p. 308.

 * Evil does not approach us as pride any more, but on the contrary as slumber, lassitude, concealment of the "I." … It may make us so quickly contented, that any definitive fire will die down. The venomous, breathtaking frigid mist seems able … to harden hearts and fill them with envy, obduracy and resentment, with bloody scorn for the divine image and light, with all the causes of the only true original sin, which is not wanting to be like God.
 * Ernst Bloch, Man on His Own (1959), B. Ashton, trans. (1970), p. 62.

 * We take nothing from the womb but pure filth [meras sordes]. The seething spring of sin is so deep and abundant that vices are always bubbling up form it to bespatter and stain what is otherwise pure.... We should remember that we are not guilty of one offense only but are buried in innumerable impurities.... all human works, if judged according to their own worth, are nothing but filth and defilement.... they are always spattered and befouled with many stains.... it is certain that there is no one who is not covered with infinite filth.
 * John Calvin in John Calvin: A Sixteenth-Century Portrait, 1989, William J. Bouwsma, Oxford University Press, USA, ISBN 0195059514 ISBN 9780195059519, p. 36.

 * In scriptures of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the following explanation is given to Enoch by God: "And our father Adam spake unto the Lord, and said: Why is it that men must repent and be baptized in water? And the Lord said unto Adam: Behold I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden. Hence came the saying abroad among the people, that the Son of God hath atoned for original guilt, wherein the sins of the parents cannot be answered upon the heads of the children, for they are whole from the foundation of the world."
 * Enoch, a fourth great-grandson of Adam, in "Selections from the Book of Moses", Moses 6:53-54 in "The Pearl of Great Price", pp. 18-19, (c) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

 * Aquinas and Augustus of Hippo, both proposed this extraordinary idea that babies who were unbaptised would not know heaven. They also proposed the idea of purgatory which doesn’t exist in The Bible. There’s absolutely no evidence for it. However, what an extraordinary brilliant coup to imagine such a thing as purgatory. That a soul needs to be prayed for, in order to go to heaven. In order to turn left when he enters the aeroplane of heaven and get a first class seat. That, he needs to be prayed for. And many hundreds, indeed over a thousand years, you’ll be amazed what generous terms those prayers came at. Sometimes as little as two thirds of a year’s salary. Could ensure that a dead loved one would go to heaven. And money could ensure that your baby. Your dead child, your dead uncle, your dead mother, could go to heaven. And if you were rich enough, you could have a charm tree built and monks would permanently sing prayers so that that existence in heaven for the child would go up and up and up until they were at the table of the Lord themselves.
 * Stephen Fry, Intelligence Squared (2014)

 * Only Hope was left within her unbreakable house, she remained under the lip of the jar, and did not fly away. Before [she could], Pandora replaced the lid of the jar. This was the will of aegis-bearing Zeus the Cloudgatherer.
 * Hesiod, Theogony

 * [M]an cannot be wicked without being evil, nor evil without being degraded, nor degraded without being punished, nor punished without being guilty. In short … there is nothing so intrinsically plausible as the theory of original sin.
 * Joseph de Maistre, St. Petersburg Dialogues (1821), p. 38

 * Has any one ever clearly understood the celebrated story at the beginning of the Bible - of God's mortal terror of science? . . . No one, in fact, has understood it. This priest-book par excellence opens, as is fitting, with the great inner difficulty of the priest: he faces only one great danger; ergo, "God" faces only one great danger. The old God, wholly "spirit," wholly the high-priest, wholly perfect, is promenading his garden: he is bored and trying to kill time. Against boredom even gods struggle in vain. What does he do? He creates man - man is entertaining. . . But then he notices that man is also bored. God's pity for the only form of distress that invades all paradises knows no bounds: so he forthwith creates other animals. God's first mistake: to man these other animals were not entertaining - he sought dominion over them; he did not want to be an "animal" himself. So God created woman. In the act he brought boredom to an end - and also many other things! Woman was the second mistake of God.  "Woman, at bottom, is a serpent, Heva" - every priest knows that; "from woman comes every evil in the world" - every priest knows that, too. Ergo, she is also to blame for science. . . It was through woman that man learned to taste of the tree of knowledge.  What happened? The old God was seized by mortal terror. Man himself had been his greatest blunder; he had created a rival to himself; science makes men godlike - it is all up with priests and gods when man becomes scientific!  Moral: science is the forbidden per se; it alone is forbidden. Science is the first of sins, the germ of all sins, the original sin. This is all there is of morality.  "Thou shalt not know" - the rest follows from that.
 * Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist, §48 (H.L. Mencken trans.).

 * What is the nature of the guilt that your teachers call his Original Sin? What are the evils man acquired when he fell from a state they consider perfection? Their myth declares that he ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge — he acquired a mind and became a rational being. It was the knowledge of good and evil — he became a moral being. He was sentenced to earn his bread by his labor — he became a productive being. He was sentenced to experience desire — he acquired the capacity of sexual enjoyment. The evils for which they damn him are reason, morality, creativeness, joy — all the cardinal values of his existence. It is not his vices that their myth of man's fall is designed to explain and condemn, it is not his errors that they hold as his guilt, but the essence of his nature as man. Whatever he was — that robot in the Garden of Eden, who existed without mind, without values, without labor, without love — he was not man.
 * Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged," Part III, Chapter VII: "This Is John Galt Speaking".

 * Kings, priests and statesmen blast the human flower Even in its tender bud; their influence darts Like subtle poison through the bloodless veins Of desolate society. The child, Ere he can lisp his mother’s sacred name, Swells with the unnatural pride of crime, and lifts His baby-sword even in a hero’s mood. This infant arm becomes the bloodiest scourge Of devastated earth; whilst specious names, Learnt in soft childhood’s unsuspecting hour, Serve as the sophisms with which manhood dims Bright reason’s ray and sanctifies the sword Upraised to shed a brother’s innocent blood. Let priest-led slaves cease to proclaim that man Inherits vice and misery, when force And falsehood hang even o'er the cradled babe, Stifling with rudest grasp all natural good.
 * Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Fairy in Queen Mab (1813), Canto IV

 * We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
 * Joseph Smith, Jr., "The Articles of Faith" # 2, in "The Pearl of Great Price", p. 60, (c) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

 * A person of an honourable mind, Religiously devout, faithful and kind, Is doom'd to pay the lamentable score Of guilt accumulated long before— Some wicked ancestor's unholy deed. — I wish that it were otherwise decreed! For now we witness wealth and power enjoy'd By wicked doers ; and the good destroyed Quite undeservedly ; doom'd to atone, In other times, for actions not their own.
 * Theognis of Megara, Elegies, LV

 * Human nature is evil; its goodness derives from conscious activity. Now it is human nature to be born with a fondness for profit. Indulging this leads to contention and strife, and the sense of modesty and yielding with which one was born disappears. One is born with feelings of envy and hate, and, by indulging these, one is led into banditry and theft, so that the sense of loyalty and good faith with which he was born disappears. One is born with the desires of the ears and eyes and with a fondness for beautiful sights and sounds, and, by indulging these, one is led to licentiousness and chaos, so that the sense of ritual, rightness, refinement, and principle with which one was born is lost. Hence, following human nature and indulging human emotions will inevitably lead to contention and strife, causing one to rebel against one’s proper duty, reduce principle to chaos, and revert to violence. Therefore one must be transformed by the example of a teacher and guided by the way of ritual and rightness before one will attain modesty and yielding, accord with refinement and ritual, and return to order.
 * Xun Zi, "Human nature is evil," in Sources of Chinese Tradition (1999), vol. 1, pp. 179-180

Last 3 seasons gone??
OMG! The last 3 seasons of Ben 10 is gone??
 * I've identified the source of the problem. Apparently the article has somehow gotten too big.  If you go to the "Edit" section the text is all still there.  I'm working on breaking it down into smaller articles in hopes of solving it that way.  So far I've got season 1 done.  It might also help to delete trivial quotes, although that might lead to some dispute over what counts as trivial.  -- Ben 10 12:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

What happened to the Washington B.C quotes?--82.33.33.213 10:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Can you find out some quotes for the ben 10 theme, I don't even know what were the words. 82.17.140.55 11:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Area of Improvement
This article was put up for vote rather than speedy deletion because of the group's Wikipedia page, short-lived though it will likely be. The group, who has no album, nevertheless has a discography: its songs are described as "sung at a practice session," "still being composed" and — yes — "still in the thinking stage." Is anyone still in the thinking stage about what to do with this article?. - InvisibleSun 05:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Google can't really prove notability, only indicate non-notability. One must consider the actual links provided to find reliable notability evidence. In this case, it's obvious from the Google search that it's the common phrase "area of improvement" and its many other common uses, not the band that chose this name, that is the major contributor to Google hits. In addition to the implication of non-notability from our and WP's articles' content (they have two songs, no released albums, and the quotes are from undocumented practice sessions and school classes, for heaven's sake!), they have no trace (neither the band nor any of the members except the nondescript "Boss", almost certainly not the one here) in All Music Guide, which any notable (and many unnotable) Ohio bands would have. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:58, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

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 Eddiejunior. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Eddiejunior~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.

Garth Brooks

Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7 1962) is an American country music singer and songwriter.

Song lyrics
All songs written by Garth Brooks, except as noted.

Garth Brooks (1989)

 * Not counting you I've never had a heartache. Not counting you I never have been blue. There's no exceptions to the rule; I've never been nobody's fool. I've never lost at love not counting you.
 * Not Counting You.

 * If tomorrow never comes, Will she know how much I loved her? Did I try in every way to show her every day That she's my only one? And if my time on earth were through, And she must face the world without me, Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last? If tomorrow never comes.
 * If Tomorrow Never Comes, written by G. Brooks and Kent Blazy.

 * And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold. I'm much too young to feel this damn old. All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole, I'm much too young to feel this damn old.
 * Much Too Young, written by G. Brooks and Randy Taylor

No Fences (1990)

 * The thunder rolls, And the lightnin' strikes. Another love grows cold On a sleepless night. As the storm blows on Out of control, Deep in her heart The thunder rolls.
 * The Thunder Rolls, written by G. Brooks and Pat Alger

 * 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away. And I'll be okay. I'm not big on social graces; Think I'll slip on down to the oasis. Oh, I've got friends in low places.
 * Friends in Low Places, written by DeWayne Blackwell and Earl "Bud" Lee.

 * Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs, That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
 * Unanswered Prayers, written by Pat Alger, Larry Bastian, and G. Brooks.

Ropin' the Wind (1991)

 * Well it's bulls and blood, It's dust and mud, It's the roar of a Sunday crowd. It's the white in his knuckles, The gold in the buckle, He'll win the next go 'round. It's boots and chaps, It's cowboy hats, It's spurs and latigo. It's the ropes and the reins, And the joy and the pain, And they call the thing rodeo.
 * Rodeo, written by Larry Bastian.

 * 'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart, Fillin' up my mind and emptyin' my heart. I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows, And I wonder if she knows...what she's doin' now.
 * What She's Doing Now, written by Pat Alger and G. Brooks.

 * Mama was a looker, Lord, how she shined. Papa was a good'n, But the jealous kind. Papa loved Mama; Mama loved men. Mama's in the graveyard; Papa's in the pen.
 * Papa Loved Mama, written by Kim Williams and G. Brooks.

 * You know a dream is like a river, Ever changin' as it flows. And a dreamer's just a vessel That must follow where it goes. Trying to learn from what's behind you, And never knowing what's in store Makes each day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores...and I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry. Like a bird upon the wind, These waters are my sky. I'll never reach my destination If I never try. So I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry.
 * The River, written by Victoria Shaw and G. Brooks.

The Chase (1992)

 * When the last child cries for a crust of bread; When the last man dies for just words that he said; When there's shelter over the poorest head, We shall be free. When the last thing we notice is the color of skin, And the first thing we look for is the beauty within, When the skies and the oceans are clean again, Then we shall be free.
 * We Shall Be Free, written by Stephanie Davis and G. Brooks.

 * Somewhere other than the night She needs to hear I love you. Somewhere other than the night She needs to know you care. She wants to know she's needed, She needs to be held tight Somewhere other than the night.
 * Somewhere Other Than the Night, written by Kent Blazy and G. Brooks.

 * She had a need to feel the thunder, To chase the lightning from the sky, To watch a storm with all its wonder Written in her lover's eyes. She had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright, Rushing headlong in the wind Now where only dreams have been, Burning both ends of the night.
 * That Summer, written by Pat Alger, Sandy Mahl-Brooks, and G. Brooks.

In Pieces (1993)

 * Standing outside the fire; Standing outside the fire. Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire.
 * Standing Outside the Fire, written by Jenny Yates and G. Brooks.

 * Ain't going down 'til the sun comes up; Ain't givin' in 'til they get enough. Going 'round the world in a pickup truck, Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up.
 * Ain't Goin' Down, written by Kent Blazy, Kim Williams, and G. Brooks.

 * Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine,Two shadows starting to softly combine. The picture they're painting Is one of the heart; And to those who have seen it, It's a true work of art. Oh, the red strokes, Passions uncaged; Thundering moments of tenderness rage. Oh, the red strokes, Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn), Burning the night like the dawn.
 * The Red Strokes, written by Jim Garver, Lisa Sanderson, Jenny Yates, and G. Brooks.

Fresh Horses (1995)

 * He asked her twice to come along; They said good-bye at the break of dawn. 'Cause you can't hold back the wind, If it's meant to be again, Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms.
 * That Ol' Wind, written by Leigh Reynolds and G. Brooks.

 * He was up in Wyoming, And drew a bull no man could ride. He promised her he'd turn out, Well it turned out that he lied. And their dreams that they'd been livin', In the California sand, Died right there beside him in Cheyenne.
 * The Beaches of Cheyenne, written by Dan Roberts, Bryan Kennedy, and G. Brooks.

 * It's midnight Cinderella time that you should know, There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes. It's midnight Cinderella but don't you worry none, 'Cause I'm Peter Peter the Pumpkin Eater And the party's just begun.
 * It's Midnight Cinderella, written by Kim Williams, Kent Blazy, and G. Brooks.

 * She's anything but typical; She's so unpredictable. Oh but even at her worst it ain't that bad. She's as real as real can be And she's every fantasy. Lord she's every lover that I've ever had. And she's every lover that I've never had.
 * She's Every Woman, written by Victoria Shaw and G. Brooks.

Sevens (1997)

 * After seven years of marriage, He wanted out. Now after seven months of freedom, It's clear that there's no doubt. She's gonna make it, And he never will. He's at the foot of the mountain, And she's over that hill. He's sinkin' at sea, And her sails are filled. She's gonna make it, And he never will.
 * She's Gonna Make It, written by Kent Blazy, Kim Williams, and G. Brooks.

 * In another's eyes I'm afraid that I can't see This picture perfect portrait that they paint of me. They don't realize and I pray they never do, 'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you In another's eyes.
 * In Another's Eyes, written by Bobby Wood, John Peppard, and G. Brooks, duet with Trisha Yearwood.

 * And what they don't see, Is what is killing me. It's blessing and a curse That love is blind.
 * In Another's Eyes.

Scarecrow (2001)

 * For that river of red could be the death of me. God, give me strength and keep reminding me That blood is thicker than water. Oh, but love is thicker than blood. And if blood is thicker than water, Then what are we fighting for? We're all sons and daughters Of something that means so much more.
 * Thicker Than Blood, written by Jenny Yates and G. Brooks.

 * On a prayer, In a song, I hear your voice, And it keeps me hanging on. Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out, 'Till we reach the circle's end. When you come back to me again.
 * When You Come Back to Me Again, written by Jenny Yates and G. Brooks.

Page Beginning
I just created this page with quotes that were already listed on the Garth Brooks wikipedia page. I don't know where they came from before that. Karanacs 15:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced

 * Come on, let's be realistic.... No one will ever touch Elvis.
 * After being compared to Elvis Presley

 * Every time I sing this song, it teaches me the same lesson... happiness isn't getting what you want, it is wanting what you've got.
 * On the song Unanswered Prayers

 * I don't talk very well, but hopefully in my music we can get something across.

 * I truly believe if country music had the accessibility pop and rock has been granted it would be the biggest musical format on the planet.

 * I want to thank the good Lord, because He's done a heck of a lot for me.

 * If you do it for the money you won't last very long, because money is the opposite of music.

 * No matter where in the world we go, from the countries it was released as a single to the countries that it wasn't, it doesn't seem to matter, people just know that opening, no doubt about it, 'Friends in Low Places' is the most recognised Garth Brooks song.

 * Sometimes you just can't be afraid to wear a different hat. If Columbus had complied, this whole world might still be flat.

 * There have been hundreds of people before me in this seat who will never be up here again and that's because the people were through with them, so I hope I can see it coming, so I can either retire gracefuly and go out with some kind of class, I'll be faced with that decision to either do that or either hang in for one more album and see what happens.

 * Well I hope I was, 'cause if there's something else I'm meant to be doing I'm missing the boat.
 * After being asked if he felt he was "born to sing and entertain people."

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 The Nigger Raping Police. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name The Nigger Raping Police~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 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 05:59, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
