Talk:Democracy

Proudhon quote for real?

 * Democracy is nothing but the Tyranny of Majorities, the most abominable tyranny of all, for it is not based on the authority of a religion, not upon the nobility of a race, not on the merits of talents and of riches. It merely rests upon numbers and hides behind the name of the people.
 * Proudhon, Demokratie und Republik, S. 10.

Proudhon means Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, right? Why did a French anarchist supposedly write a book with a German title, when every bibliography of his only has titles in French? And why is "Democracy and Republic" or its French equivalent not on any list of Proudhon works? Is this quote for real? Is the sourcing correct?

 * I can't speak directly to the accuracy of the source at this moment, but I found the following information:

 * The U.S. Library of Congress has 38 editions of various works by Proudhon, in French (27), Spanish (5), Italian (1), Russian (1), German (2), English (1), and Hebrew (1), so not "every" bibliography of his has only French titles. It is conceivable that someone is quoting from a German edition of a work of his.
 * However, I found no mention of a book titled Demokratie und Republik by Proudhon in the LoC. Nor did I find any book titled Démocratie et république or Démocratie et la république, by anyone.
 * I did find two similarly titled books:
 * Demokratie und Republik (1928) by Ottokar Stauf
 * Demokratie Und Republik: Tocquevilles Theorie Des Politischen Handelns (1981) by Hans Arnold Rau
 * None of this is definitive, but without specific publication information (or even a proper identification of the quotee, for that matter), editors cannot verify the information, so this quote should go into the "Unsourced" section with a "Possibly from" qualifier until the specific data can be found. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I moved the quote in question from article to head of section here — agree that the quote is extremely dubious and seems a likely misattribution, and have removed the other insufficiently sourced quotes to this page. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 09:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

The quote seems to be in fact from "Solution du problème social", on p. 77 in this edition: https://books.google.fi/books?id=fbJDAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA75&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false In original French: "La démocratie n'est autre chose que la tyrannie des majorités, tyrannie la plus exécrable de toutes; car elle ne s'appuie ni sur l'autorité d'une religion, ni sur une noblesse de race, ni sur les prérogatives du talent et de la fortune: elle a pour base le nombre, et pour masque le nom du Peuple."

Churchill quote
Given that the Churchill quote is unsourced, I corrected the preposition (from → for) to reflect: I'd be happy to be overruled by a more authoritative source. –Cúthalion (talk) 15:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Democracy...is government by discussion.
 * -John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

 * Democracy is a system ensuring that the people are governed no better than they deserve.
 * -George Bernard Shaw

 * The strongest argument against democracy is a five minute discussion with the average voter.
 * -Sir Winston Churchill
 * This is spurious. Grover cleveland (talk) 00:33, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

 * I've Said it before, and I'll say it again, Democracy simply doesn't work.
 * -Kent Brockman

 * Democracy is more a verb than a noun.
 * Dr. Cornel West

 * In the case of a word like DEMOCRACY, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of régime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different.
 * -George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

 * The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.
 * -Alex Carey, Taking the Risk out of Democracy: Propaganda in the US and Australia

 * My definition of democracy is two wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for breakfast.
 * Dick Boddie, candidate for Libertarian Party Presidential nomination, C-SPAN, August 30, 1991 Call-in interview (at 23:20)

I believe this is the original. It's referred to on Usenet (e.g. here). There are no appearances of the quote on Usenet before August 30, 1991, as far as can be determined by Google group search. But Google group search has so many bugs, I don't know how much that means. Plus, I'm not sure how complete their database of Usenet postings is back then. I've sent an email to Dr. Boddie's .edu address to ask about this quote, but I don't know when/if he'll reply, especially as this is August.

Feel free to add this to the article page and/or Ben Franklin page as you wish. I'll be traveling over the next couple of weeks and don't have time to do it. —KHirsch 20:47, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

"Thank you", the lamb retorted. "I've read some Aesop."''
 * Good find. (I think he is more often named in the press as Richard rather than Dick.) This quote (including lamb/sheep variant) appears on several pages: James Bovard, Democracy, Benjamin Franklin, Government, Politics. I am not sure we will ever know the true origin of this modern adaptation of an ancient motif. My research turned up nothing older. I found some 21st century claims of people remembering it from the 1970s or 1960s, but they were wholly unreliable. During my search I found this amusing:
 * ''"Do stay, you don't disturb me", called the wolf.
 * Quoted by Marketa Goetz-Stankiewicz, "The sheep in wolf's clothing – thoughts on modern variations of an ancient fable" in From Sign to Text: a Semiotic View of Communication (1989), ed. Yishai Tobin. (I don't know who is quoted because the footnotes are not previewable at GoogleBooks.)

Grammatical error in a quote
There is a grammatical error in this quote: "Democracy will prevail when men believe the vote of Judas as good as that of Jesus Christ." It should be "Democracy will prevail when men believe the vote of Judas (to be) as good as that of Jesus Christ."

John F. Kennedy quote
There appears to be a (rather amusing) typographical error in the first line of the JFK quote on the main page (right column). I believe the quote should read: "The true democracy, living and growing and inspiring, puts its faith in the people..." instead of: "The true democracy, living and growing and poop, puts its faith in the people..." ~ S.Saul, 14:10, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I find nothing remotely amusing about this sort of childish vandalism. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:33, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Seeking the earliest source of "Democracy is the worst form of government except..."
We've got documentation for Winston Churchill's use of this famous line, but his use makes clear the idea had been around for a while. I was poking around to find an earlier version (difficult because there are so many synonyms for many of the words in Churchill's version), when I came across the following:

 * "A certain writer [Plato] is wrong in saying that democracy, although the worst of good constitutions, is the best of bad ones..."
 * B. Jowett, The Politics of Aristotle: Introduction and Translation, p. LXXII; Clarendon Press, 1885

We don't currently have any such quote in Plato, Aristotle, or Democracy, and I didn't find a better or earlier source in the time I had. I'm posting it here in case anyone would like to pursue it further. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:42, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, I regard Benjamin Jowett as a frequently unreliable source that always needs to be corroborated. Notwithstanding the popularity of his translations of the classics, they are notorious for idiosyncratic interpretations and are the source of many widespread misattributions to Plato of things he never wrote. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:59, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Excessive obscure quotes and pov pushing, quotes from "Newsclick" website
These quotes were recently added:

 * Without promoting fraternity, our democracy cannot survive. And the dangerous demonisation of minorities has to be countered, as it is this hate which gets transformed into intense violence.
 * Ram Puniyani, Combating Hate: Building Bridges of Love, 14 May 2020, NewsClick

 * The practice of democracy has the notorious tendency to become paradoxical. It begins in the name of the "demos" but goes on to construct the demos rather narrowly; oftentimes, sections of the population manage to ensconce themselves as "the people", they count as the public, their ideas masquerade as the people's ideas. This inevitably produces a layered citizenry. Democracy also starts off by investing agency in the individuals but sooner or later divests them of that agency as interference by the ignorant. Democracy inspires ideas of rights but allows the taming of rights for purposes of order. In short, it is these tensions between the elite and the masses, between active citizens and obedient citizens, between rights and order, that mark the life of democracies. This is not merely about the distance between theory and practice, between concept and its concrete life. It is about imagining that the course of democracy is predetermined. Democratic politics needs to be carved out with effort, rather than believing that adopting formal democracy automatically ensures vibrant democratic practice.
 * Suhas Palshikar, Will there be a George Floyd moment in India’s public life? (June 11, 2020),

The quote is also in 14 other wikiquote articles. Ram Puniyani is a former professor of biomedical engineering. Newsclick is a news blog/website which has no wikipedia page. Suhas Palshikar is an Indian academic.

The topic itself is fine. But this is a high level article about quotes on democracy. This article should have more quotes from books, rather than websites or newspapers, that have timeless quotability. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 10:08, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

There are unlimited quotes from newspapers like this quote but that are more quotable. The quotes need to be properly sourced with reliable secondary sources to demostrate notability.

 * The concern is of course not because the quote is from a particular country or newsblog. I would have (almost) the same concern if random quotes from the NYT are quoted. There is an overabundance of quotes from newspapers when timeless quotes from books should be preferred at least in high level articles like this one. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 11:21, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Badlands (film)

Badlands is a 1973 film about a teenage girl and her twenty-something boyfriend who slaughters her father and several others in the Dakota badlands. It was loosely based on the Starkweather-Fugate killing spree of the 1950's.
 * Written and directed by Terrence Malick.

In 1959 a lot of people were killing time. Kit and Holly were killing people. taglines

Holly Sargis

 * My mother died of pneumonia when I was just a kid. My father had kept their wedding cake in the freezer for ten whole years. After the funeral, he gave it to the yardman. He tried to act cheerful, but he could never be consoled by the little stranger he found in his house. Then, one day, hoping to begin a new life away from the scene of all his memories, he moved us from Texas to Ft. Dupree, South Dakota.
 * Little did I realize that what began in the alleys and backways of this quiet town would end in the Badlands of Montana.
 * He was handsomer than anybody I'd ever met. He looked just like James Dean.
 * Kit went to work in the feedlot while I carried on with my studies. Little by little we fell in love. As I'd never been popular in school and didn't have a lot of personality, I was surprised that he took such a liking to me, especially when he could've had any other girl in town if he'd given it half a try. He said that I was grand, though, that he wasn't interested in me for sex and that coming from him, this was a compliment. He'd never met a fifteen year-old girl who behaved more like a grownup and wasn't giggly. He didn't care what anybody else thought. I looked good to him, and whatever I did was okay, and if I didn't have a lot to say, well, that was okay, too. Of course, I had to keep all this a secret from my dad. He would've had a fit, since Kit was ten years older than me and came from the wrong side of the tracks, so called. Our time with each other was limited and each lived for the precious hours when he or she could be with the other, away from all the cares of the world.
 * In the stench and slime of the feedlot, he'd remember how I looked the night before, how I ran my hand through his hair and traced the outline of his lips with my fingertip. He wanted to die with me, and I dreamed of being lost forever in his arms....I didn't mind telling Kit about stuff like this, cause strange things happened in his life, too, and some of the stuff he did was strange. For instance, he faked his signature whenever he used it, to keep other people from forging important papers with his name.
 * And as he lay in bed, in the middle of the night, he always heard a noise like somebody was holding a seashell against his ear. And sometimes he'd see me coming toward him in beautiful white robes, and I'd put my cold hand on his forehead.
 * Did it go the way it was supposed to?...Is that all there is to it?...Gosh, what was everybody talking about?...Well, I'm glad it's over. For a while, I was afraid I might die before it happened. Had a wreck, or some deal like that.
 * Kit made a solemn vow that he would always stand beside me and let nothing come between us. He wrote this out in writing, put the paper in a box with some of our little tokens and things, then sent it off in a balloon he'd found while on the garbage route. His heart was filled with longing as he watched it drift off. Something must've told him that we'd never live these days of happiness again, that they were gone forever.
 * Then sure enough, Dad found out I'd been running around behind his back. He was madder than I'd ever seen him. As punishment for deceiving him, he went and shot my dog. He made me take extra lessons every day after school and wait there till he came to pick me up. He said that if the piano didn't keep me off the streets, maybe the clarinet would.
 * Kit left a record playing over and over for the District Attorney to find. He was gambling for time.
 * Kit made me get my books from school, so I wouldn't fall behind. We'd be starting a new life, he said. And we'd have to change our names. His would be James. Mine would be Priscilla. We'd hide out like spies, somewhere in the North, where people didn't ask a lot of questions. I could have snuck out the back or hid in the boiler room, I suppose, but I sensed that my destiny now lay with Kit, for better or for worse, and it was better to spend a week with one who loved me for what I was than years of loneliness.
 * We hid out in the wilderness down by a river in a grove of cottonwoods. It being the flood season, we built our house in the trees, with tamarisk walls and willows laid side by side to make a floor. There wasn't a plant in the forest that didn't come in handy. We planned a huge network of tunnels under the forest floor, and our first order of business every morning was to decide on a new password for the day. Now and then, we'd sneak out at night and steal a chicken or a bunch of corn or some melons from a melon patch. Mostly, though, we just lay on our backs and stared at the clouds and sometimes it was like being in a big marble hall, the way we talked in low voices and heard the tiniest sound. They hadn't found but one set of bones in the ashes of the house, so we knew they'd be looking for us. Kit made sure we'd be prepared. He gave me lectures on how a gun works, how to take it apart and put it back together again, in case I had to carry on without him. He said that if the Devil came at me, I could shoot him with a gun.
 * We had our bad moments, like any couple. Kit accused me of only being along for the ride, while at times I wish he'd fall in the river and drown, so I could watch. Mostly though, we got along fine and stayed in love. I grew to love the forest. The cooing of the doves and the hum of dragonflies in the air made it always seem lonesome and like everybody's dead and gone. When the leaves rustled overhead, it was like the spirits were whispering about all the little things that bothered 'em.
 * One day, while taking a look at some vistas in Dad's stereopticon, it hit me that I was just this little girl, born in Texas, whose father was a sign painter and who had only just so many years to live. It sent a chill down my spine, and I thought - Where would I be this very moment if Kit had never met me? Or killed anybody? This very moment? If my Mom had never met my Dad? If she'd have never died? And what's the man I'll marry gonna look like? What's he doing right this minute? Is he thinking about me now, by some coincidence, even though he doesn't know me? Does it show on his face? For days afterwards, I lived in dread. Sometimes, I wished I could fall asleep and be taken off to some magical land, but this never happened.
 * Kit felt bad about shooting those men in the back, but he said they'd come in like that, and they would've played it as down and dirty as they could. And besides, he'd overheard them whispering about how they were only interested in the reward money. With lawmen, it would've been different. They were out there to get a job done and they deserved a fair chance. But not a bounty hunter.
 * Kit never let on why he'd shot Cato. He said that just talking about it could bring us bad luck and that right now, we needed all the luck we could get.
 * Suddenly, I was thrown into a state of shock. Kit was the most trigger happy person I'd ever met. He claimed that as long as you're playing for keeps and the law is coming at ya, it's considered OK to shoot all witnesses. You had to take the consequences, though, and not whine about it later. He never seemed like a violent person before, except for once, when he said he'd like to rub out a couple of guys whose names he didn't care to mention. It all goes to show how you can know a person and not really know him at the same time.
 * At this moment, I didn't feel shame or fear, but just kind of blah, like when you're sitting there and all the water's run out of the bathtub.
 * The whole country was out looking for us, for who knew where Kit would strike next. Sidewalks cleared out, stores closed their doors and drew their blinds. Posses and vigilance committees were set up from Texas to North Dakota. Children rode back and forth to school under heavy guard. A famous detective was brought in from Boston. He could find no clues. People left their lights on when they went to sleep. My clarinet teacher said I probably wasn't responsible, but others said I was. Then, on Thursday, the Governor of Oklahoma sent out the National Guard to stand watch at the Federal Reserve Bank in Tulsa when word got out that Kit meant to rob it. It was like the Russians had invaded.
 * The day was quiet and serene but I didn't notice, for I was deep in thought, and not even thinking about how to slip off. The world was like a faraway planet to which I could never return. I thought what a fine place it was, full of things that people can look into and enjoy.
 * Sometimes he acts like there's something wrong with his bean. Hope nothing ever goes wrong with mine...He's kind of odd. They claim I've got him wrapped around my little finger, but I never told him to shoot anybody.
 * Fearing there'd be roadblocks on the highways, we took off across that region known as the Great Plains. Kit told me to enjoy the scenery - and I did. "Rumor: Pat Boone is seriously considering giving up his career so he can return to school full-time and complete his education. Fact: Pat has told intimates that so long as things are going well for his career, it's the education that will have to take a back seat...Rumor: Frank Sinatra and Rita Hayworth are in love. Fact: True, but not with each other." Through desert and mesa, across the endless miles of open range, we made our headlong way, steering by the telephone lines toward the mountains of Montana. Kit would sometimes ram a cow to save on ammo, and we'd cook it. Once we had to eat a bunch of salt grass. It tasted like cabbage. For gas, we used the leakage from the valves of the pipelines we found along the way. Drip gas is what it's called in that part of the country. Little by little, we approached the border. Kit was glad to leave South Dakota behind and cursed its name. He said that if the Communists ever dropped the atomic bomb, he wished they'd put it right in the middle of Rapid City.
 * We lived in utter loneliness, neither here nor there. Kit said that solitude was a better word, 'cause it meant more exactly what I wanted to say. Whatever the expression, I told him we couldn't go on living this way... "I feel like a, kind of like an animal living out here. There's no place to bathe and not any place to get anything good to eat."...In the distance, I saw a train making its way silently across the plain, like a caravan in The Adventures of Marco Polo. It was our first taste of civilization in weeks, and I asked Kit if we could have a closer look.
 * He took and buried some of our things in a bucket. He said that nobody else would know where we'd put 'em, and that we'd come back someday, maybe, and they'd still be sitting here, just the same, but we'd be different. And if we never got back, well, somebody might dig 'em up a thousand years from now and wouldn't they wonder!
 * We took off at sunset, on a line toward the mountains of Saskatchewan, for Kit a magical land beyond the reach of the law. He needed me now more than ever, but something had come between us. I'd stopped even paying attention to him. Instead, I sat in the car and read a map and spelled out entire sentences with my tongue on the roof of my mouth, where nobody could read them. That night we moved closer to the border, and clear across the prairie, at the very edge of the horizon. We could make out the gas fires of the refineries at Missoula, while to the south, we could see the lights of Cheyenne, a city bigger and grander than I'd ever seen. I felt all kind of things looking at the lights of Cheyenne, but most important, I made up my mind to never again tag around with a hell-bent type, no matter how in love with him I was. Finally, I found the strength to tell Kit this. I pointed out that even if we got to the Far North, he still couldn't make a living.
 * Kit knew the end was coming. He wondered if he'd hear the doctor pronounce him dead, or if he'd be able to read what the papers would say about him the next day, from the other side. He dreaded the idea of being shot down alone, he said, without a girl to scream out his name. Then, for an instant, the sight of the mountains in the dawn light got his hopes back up.
 * Often, I've wondered what was going through Kit's head before they got him, and why he didn't make a run for it while he still had the chance. Did he figure they'd just catch him the next day? Was it despair? He claimed to having a flat tire, but the way he carried on about it, I imagine this is false.
 * Kit and I were taken back to South Dakota. They kept him in solitary, so he didn't have a chance to get acquainted with the other inmates, though he was sure they'd like him, especially the murderers. Myself, I got off with probation and a lot of nasty looks. Later, I married the son of the lawyer who defended me. Kit went to sleep in the courtroom while his confession was being read, and he was sentenced to die in the electric chair. On a warm spring night, six months later, after donating his body to science, he did.

Kit Carruthers

 * Somebody dropped a bag on the sidewalk. Everybody did that, the whole town'd be a mess.
 * I got it all planned - and, uh, I'm taking Holly off with me.
 * [to Mr. Sargis] Suppose I shot you. How'd that be?
 * [on a recording] My girl Holly and I have decided to kill ourselves, same way I did her Dad. Big decision, huh? Uh, the reasons are obvious, and I don't have time to go into them right now. But uh, one thing, though. He was provoking me when I popped him. That's what it was like, a Pop! We're sorry, I mean, uhm, nobody's coming out of this thing happy, especially not us. I can't deny we've had fun, though. I mean, uhm, that's more than I can say for some. That's the end of the message. I run out of things to say. Thank you.
 * I'll give you a dollar if you eat this collie.
 * [on a recording] Listen to your parents and teachers. They got a line on most things, so don't treat 'em like enemies. There's always an outside chance you can learn something. Try to keep an open mind. Try to understand the viewpoints of others. Consider the minority opinion, but try to get along with the majority of opinion once it's accepted. Of course, Holly and I have had fun, even if it has been rushed, and uh, so far, we're doing fine, hadn't got caught. Excuse the grammar.
 * You get a little money in your pocket, you think all your problems are solved. Well, let me tell you, they're not.
 * Name's Carruthers. Believe I shoot people every now and then. Not that I deserve a medal.
 * [to his arresting officers] Well, you boys have performed like a couple of heroes. And don't think I'm not gonna pass it around when we get to town.
 * Don't worry now, I'm gonna get you off these charges. There's a whole lot of other boys out there waitin' for ya. You're gonna have a lot of fun. Boy, we rang the bell, didn't we? I'll say this though, that guy with the deaf maid? He's just lucky he's not dead, too. Course, uh, too bad about your dad...We're gonna have to sit down and talk about that sometime.

Dialogue

 * Kit: Just thought I'd come over and say hello to ya. I'll try anything once....Listen, Holly, you, uh, I don't know, want to take a walk with me?
 * Holly: What for?
 * Kit: Aw, I got some stuff to say. Guess I'm kind of lucky that way. Most people don't have anything on their minds, do they? Oh, incidentally, my last name is Carruthers. Sounds a little too much like 'druthers,' huh?
 * Holly: It's OK.
 * Kit: Ah, well, nobody asked me what I thought. They just hung it on me.
 * Holly: You still in school?
 * Kit: Nah, I have a job.
 * Holly: Doin' what?
 * Kit: Well, I don't mind getting up early, so I got a job throwing garbage. I'm not in love with the stuff, OK?
 * Holly: I know what my daddy's gonna say...well, that I shouldn't be seen with anybody that collects garbage.

 * Clerk: Why did you leave?
 * Kit: I just felt like it.
 * Clerk: What kind of work do you think you'd be qualified for? I just gotta get this.
 * Kit: I can't think of anything at the moment. I want you to write me out a slip, though, proving I came down here.

 * Kit: Hi.
 * Holly: Well, stop the world.
 * Kit: Hey, I quit my job.
 * Holly: Great.
 * Kit: It seemed like the right move...Well, I'm gonna work as a cowboy now... or thinking about it. It's a routine, like anything. What do you think?
 * Holly: I don't know.

 * Kit: [after suggesting they crunch their hands with a rock] That way, we'd never forget what happened today.
 * Holly: But it would hurt.
 * Kit: Well, that's the point, stupid.
 * Holly: Don't call me stupid.
 * Kit: OK, but I'm gonna keep it for a souvenir - or maybe one that's lighter.

 * Kit: You know Holly, well, she means an awful lot to me, sir...Look, I got a lot of respect for her, too, sir. That's about as good a one as I know to tell ya.
 * Mr. Sargis: Well, it's not good enough...I don't want you to hang around any more. I don't want to see you again. Do you understand? You're something.

 * Holly: Listen, maybe we ought to tell somebody about this.
 * Kit: You said that once already. Too late now.
 * Holly: Why?
 * Kit: They're not gonna listen to me. You either. Are you kidding?
 * Holly: Suppose the neighbors heard the noise?
 * Kit: Wouldn't be funny. Listen, uh, I'll be back after a while. Oh, uh, you want to call the police, that's fine. Just won't be so hot for me.

 * Holly: [about Cato, after Kit shoots him] How is he?
 * Kit: I got him in the stomach.
 * Holly: Is he upset?
 * Kit: He didn't say nothing to me about it.

 * Girl: What's going to happen to Jack and me?
 * Holly: You have to ask Kit. He says 'frog,' I jump.
 * Girl: OK.
 * Holly: What's your friend's name?
 * Girl: Jack.
 * Holly: You love him?
 * Girl: I don't know.
 * Holly: I've got to stick by Kit. He feels trapped.
 * Girl: Yeah, I can imagine.
 * Holly: Well, I've felt that way, hadn't you?

 * Kit: You tired?
 * Holly: Yeah.
 * Kit: Yeah, you look tired... Listen, honey. when all this is over, I'm going to sit down and buy you a big, thick steak.
 * Holly: I don't want a steak.
 * Kit: Well, we'll see about that.

 * Deputy: Hell, he ain't no bigger than I am.
 * Kit: You're gonna give me a cauliflower ear, Sheriff.
 * Deputy: He should've thought about that before he got caught. Shouldn't he?

 * Deputy: You like people?
 * Kit: They're OK.
 * Deputy: Then why'd you do it?
 * Kit: I don't know. I always wanted to be a criminal, I guess. Just not this big a one. Takes all kinds, though.
 * Deputy: [to Sheriff] You know who that sombitch looks like? You know, don't you?
 * Sheriff: No.
 * Deputy: I'll kiss your ass if he don't look like James Dean.

 * Voice: Hey, Kit, who's your favorite singer?
 * Kit: Eddie Fisher. Who's yours?
 * Voice: Eddie Fisher.
 * Kit: Damn...
 * Voice: How old are you?
 * Kit: Don't you read the papers?
 * Voice: You ever been married?
 * Kit: No sir, I hadn't.
 * Voice: You afraid of death?
 * Kit: I hadn't thought about it much.

 * Kit: [about the Trooper's hat] Boy, I'd like to buy me one of them.
 * Trooper: You're quite an individual, Kit.
 * Kit: Think they'll take that into consideration?

Dustin Gawrylow
Non-notable person, and this is probably a vanity page, since the creator is. I've posted vanity-warn on their talk page. —LrdChaos 22:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (five votes to delete, one undecided vote). —LrdChaos 14:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. —LrdChaos 22:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Undecided for now. It seems quite likely that this is a vanity article, but Gawrylow may actually be notable. His WP article (also created by a User:Dgawrylow whose sole edits are for his article) lists some accomplishments and publications. I suspect a WP notability review would reveal him not to rise above the thousands of political bloggers and activists who don't merit their own articles (especially as a 2005 college grad), but I don't have time at the moment to do enough basic research to feel comfortable nominating his WP article for AfD to initiate such a review. On the other hand, w:Wikipedia:Autobiography's current policy says:
 * Avoid writing or editing articles about yourself, since we all find objectivity especially difficult when we ourselves are concerned. Such articles frequently violate neutrality, verifiability, and notability guidelines.
 * and
 * Creating or editing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it will likely be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself.
 * which may be enough to warrant a fast AfD on WP, regardless of the documentation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:09, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Five Easy Pieces

Five Easy Pieces is a 1970 film about a trashy oil rigger who returns home to comfort his dying father, where he is confronted with the past he ran away from: a successful career as a classical pianist.
 * Directed by Bob Rafelson. Written by Carole Eastman and Bob Rafelson.

He Rode The Fast Lane On The Road To Nowhere.

Robert 'Bobby' Dupea

 * If you wouldn't open your mouth, everything would be just fine.
 * [to his father] Are you cold? I don't know if you'd be... particularly interested in hearing anything about me. My life, I mean... most of it doesn't add up to much... that I could relate as a way of life that you'd approve of...I'd like to be able to tell you why, but I don't really...I mean, I move around a lot because things tend to get bad when I stay. And I'm looking...for auspicious beginnings, I guess...I'm trying to, you know, imagine your half of this conversation... My feeling is, that if you could talk, we probably wouldn't be talking. That's pretty much how it got to be before... I left...Are you all right? I don't know what to say...Tita suggested that we try to... I don't know. I think that she... seems to feel we've got... some understanding to reach... She totally denies the fact that we were never that comfortable with each other to begin with. The best that I can do, is apologize. We both know that I was never really that good at it, anyway...I'm sorry it didn't work out.
 * I move around a lot, not because I'm looking for anything really, but 'cause I'm getting away from things that get bad if I stay.
 * I said don't point at her, you pompous celibate!
 * [out of his car during a traffic jam, yelling at other motorists] Ants! Why don't we all line up like a goddamned bunch of ants! Its the most beautiful part of the day!

Rayette Dipesto

 * [to Dupea] I'll go out with you, or I'll stay in with you, or I'll do anything that you like for me to do, if you tell me that you love me.
 * There isn't anybody gonna look after you AND love you, as good as I do.

Others

 * Palm Apodaca: People. Animals are not like that. They're always cleaning themselves. Did you ever see, umm... pigeons? Well, he's always picking on himself and his friends. They're always picking bugs out of their hair all the time. Monkeys too. Except they do something out in the open that I don't go for.
 * Catherine Van Oost: You're a strange person, Robert. I mean, what will you come to? If a person has no love for himself, no respect for himself, no love of his friends, family, work, something - how can he ask for love in return? I mean, why should he ask for it?
 * Betty: When I was four, just four years old, I went to my mother and I said, "What's this hole in my chin?" - I saw this dimple in my chin in the mirror, and didn't know what it was. And my mother said - get what my mother says - she says, "When you're born, you go on a assembly line past God, and if He likes you, He says, [grabs her cheeks with both her hands] "You cute little thing!" and you get dimples there. And if He doesn't like you, He goes, [presses one finger on her chin] "Go away." So about six months later, my mother found me saying my prayers, and I was going, [holds one hand over her chin] "Now I lay me down to sleep..." My mother says, "What are you covering up your chin for?" And I said, "Because if I cover up the hole, maybe He'll listen to me."

Dialogue

 * Dupea: You're just gonna sit here?
 * Rayette: Yes.
 * Dupea: Okay. I hope no one hits on you.
 * Rayette: I hope they do.

 * Rayette: That was real good, wasn't it? I finally did it!
 * Dupea: Great. You throw the big Z's for 19 frames, and then you throw a strike on the last ball of a losing game. Wonderful. Just wonderful. [Turns around to bowlers at next lane] Isn't that wonderful, ladies?
 * Twinky: Are you talking to us?
 * Dupea: Wonderful.

 * Rayette: You love me, Bobby?
 * Bobby: What do you think? [they kiss]

 * Palm Apodaca: Hey, follow that truck. They know the best places to stop.
 * Rayette: That's an old maid's tale.
 * Palm Apodaca: Bullshit! Truck drivers are the only ones that know the best places to stop on the road.
 * Rayette: Salesmen and cops are the ones. If you'd ever waitressed, honey, you'd know that.
 * Palm Apodaca: Don't call me honey, mac.
 * Rayette: Don't call me mac, honey.

 * Dupea: I'd like a, uh, plain omelette, uh, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.
 * Waitress: No substitutions.
 * Dupea: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?
 * Waitress: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two - a plain omelette.  It comes with cottage fries and rolls.
 * Dupea: Yeah, I know what it comes with, but it's not what I want.
 * Waitress: Well, I'll come back when you make up your mind.
 * Dupea: Wait a minute. I have made up my mind.  I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes on the plate, a cup of coffee, and a side order of wheat toast.
 * Waitress: I'm sorry. We don't have any side orders of toast.  I'll give you an English muffin or a coffee roll.
 * Dupea: What do you mean you don't make side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don't you?
 * Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?
 * Palm Apodaca: Hey, Mac . ..
 * Dupea: [to Apodaca] Shut up. [to the waitress] You've got bread and a toaster of some kind?
 * Waitress: I don't make the rules.
 * Dupea: Okay, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce, and a cup of coffee.
 * Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san, hold the butter, the lettuce, and the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
 * Dupea: Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
 * Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
 * Dupea: I want you to hold it between your knees. [Palm and Terry smirk]
 * Waitress: You see that sign, sir? Yes, you'll all have to leave.  I'm not taking any more of your smartness and sarcasm.
 * Dupea: You see this sign? [sweeps all the water glasses and menus off the table]

 * Palm Apodaca: Fantastic that you could figure that all out and lie that down on her so you could come up with a way to get your toast. Fantastic!
 * Dupea: Yeah, well, I didn't get it, did I?
 * Palm Apodaca: No, but it was very clever. I would have just punched her out.

 * Palm Apodaca: You know, I read where they, uh, invented this car that runs on, ummm... that runs on, ummm... when you boil water?
 * Terry: Steam.
 * Palm Apodaca: Right, steam. A car that you could ride around in and not cause a stink. But do you know they will not even let us have it? Can you believe it? Why? Man! He likes to create a stink! I mean, I've seen filth that you wouldn't believe. Ugh! What a stink! I don't even want to talk about it.

 * Dupea: That's dangerous, you know.
 * Catherine: Riding?
 * Dupea: Mm-hmm. You play the piano all day and then jump on a horse, you could get cramps.

 * Dupea: What are you doing screwing around with all this crap?
 * Catherine: I do not find your language very charming.
 * Dupea: It isn't. It's direct.
 * Catherine: I'd like you to leave so that I can take a bath. Is that direct?

 * Dupea: What else do you do?
 * Catherine: Well, there's fishing, boating, and concerts on the mainland. [Laughs] I feel funny telling you this. This is really your home. You probably know better than I what there is to do.
 * Dupea: Nothing.
 * Catherine: Nothing?
 * Dupea: Nothing.
 * Catherine: Well, it must be very boring for you here.
 * Dupea: That's right.
 * Catherine: I find that very hard to comprehend. I don't think I've ever been bored. Excuse me.

 * Betty: That's a wig you wear, isn't it?
 * Dupea: Me?
 * Betty: Yeah, I told her it was you but that you were wearin' a wig because on the TV you're mostly all, uh - [pats him on the head] bald up there! [laughs]
 * Dupea: [laughs] Your, your little friend's real, real sharp. Uh, I don't, uh, I don't wear the wig on TV because if you're gonna be out there in front of two and a half million people, you've got to be sincere. I mean, I like to wear it when I'm in bowling alleys and slipping around, stuff like that. I think it gives me a little class. What do you think?

 * Truck driver: Where we're goin', it's gonna get colder than hell.
 * Dupea: Nah, it's okay. I'm fine. Fine. I'm fine.

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 AnnaKucsma. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AnnaKucsma~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

The Simpsons/Season 1

The Simpsons (1989–present) is an American animated sitcom broadcast by the Fox Broadcasting Company created by Matt Groening. The series is a satirical depiction of American life, epitomized by the Simpson family.

Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire

 * [First lines. One winter's night, a text reading "The Simpsons Christmas Special" appears. Then, we fade to a road that's been cleared of snow]
 * Marge: [off-camera] Ooh, careful, Homer.
 * [We then see a car driving on the road]
 * Homer: There's no time to be careful, we're late.
 * [And inside this car are Marge and Homer Simpson, but Homer is the one doing the driving. Soon, they arrive at Springfield Elementary School and drive into a small pile of snow in the road. They get out as Marge holds their baby, Maggie. Next, they walk past a sign that reads "Springfield Elementary School, Annual Christmas Pageant "1/2" Springfield Shopper". Inside the school, a choir of children are singing as Marge and Homer come in to take their seats]
 * Marge: Sorry, 'scuse me. Pardon me.
 * Homer: [to a man named Norman] Hey, Norman, how's it going? [to another person] So you got dragged out here, too, huh? [to another man] How you doing, Fred? 'Scuse me. [steps on a woman's foot by accident] Pardon my galoshes. [he and Marge sit down] Heh, heh.
 * [The choir of children conclude their song and Seymour Skinner, the principal of Springfield Elementary, walks onto the stage to make the next announcement]
 * Principal Skinner: [chuckles] Wasn't that wonderful? And now, "Santas of... [reads the piece of paper] Many...Lands", as presented by the entire second grade class.
 * [The camera cuts to Marge and Homer]
 * Marge: Ooh, Lisa's class!
 * [We then see a girl dressed as Santa on the stage]
 * Girl dressed as Santa: Fröhliche Weihnachten. That's German for "Merry Christmas". In Germany, Santa's servant, Ruprecht, gives presents to good children, and whipping rods to the parents of bad ones.
 * [Everyone claps while Maggie sucks on her pacifier. Next, we see a boy clad with Red and orange clothing]
 * Hotei Oshi: Merry Kurisumasu. I am Hotei Oshi, a Japanese priest who acts like Santa Claus. I have eyes in the back of my head, so children better behave when I'm nearby. [turns round, but one of the eyes on the back of his head springs out, making everyone gasp. Then, they clap]
 * [Next, we see Dewey Largo, the music teacher]
 * Dewey Largo: Now, presenting Lisa Simpson as Tawanga, the Santa Claus... [the curtain opens to reveal Tawanga] ...of the South Seas.
 * Homer: Ooh, it's Lisa! That's ours!
 * [The light shines on Tawanga. Tawanga performs a skilled dance with lit torches, performing tricks such as throwing it around herself, surprising everyone. She is also wearing see-through clothing before unmasking herself as Lisa Simpson, the middle child of Marge and Homer. Everyone claps]
 * [Principal Skinner makes the next announcement via his piece of paper and microphone]
 * Principal Skinner: And the 4th grade will now favor us with a melody... [checks his paper] Uh, medley of Holiday Favorites.
 * [The curtains open to reveal the 4th grade students who are singing Jingle Bells. Among this group of students is Bart Simpson, the eldest child and only son of Homer and Marge]
 * 4th Grade Students: [singing] Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go; Laughing all the way, ha ha ha; Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright...
 * [The camera cuts to Marge, Maggie and Homer]
 * Marge: Isn't Bart sweet, Homer? He sings like an angel.
 * [Homer nods proudly as Bart's class sings the song correctly]
 * Bart: [singing while using alternate lyrics] Oh Jingle Bells, Batman smells. Robin laid an egg. The Batmobile broke it's wheel. The Joker got Aw... [Principal Skinner takes him away from the choir] AAAAAAHHHH!
 * Homer: [annoyed grunt] D'oh!
 * 4th Grade Students: [singing] Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all...
 * [Soon, Homer has become bored]
 * Principal Skinner: [clears throat] The fifth grade will now favor us with a scene from Charles...Dickens' "A Christmas Carol".
 * Homer: [groans] How many grades does this school have?

 * Homer: [dressed as Santa with Bart on his lap] And what's your name, Bart...ner....uh, little partner?
 * Bart: I'm Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?
 * Homer: [angry] I'm Jolly Old Saint Nick!
 * Bart: Oh, yeah? We'll just see about that. [tries to pull off Homer's fake Santa beard]
 * [The photographer takes a picture of Homer looking at Bart furiously]
 * Homer: D'oh!

 * Bart and Barney: [singing] We're in the money. We're in the money. We got a lot of what it takes to get along!

Bart the Genius

 * [The family is playing Scrabble]
 * Bart: My turn. Kwyjibo. K-W-Y-J-I-B-O, 22 points, plus triple word score, plus 50 points for using all my letters. Game's over, I'm outta here. [about to leave]
 * Homer: [grabs Bart's arm] Wait a minute, you little cheater! You're not going anywhere until you tell me what a kwyjibo is.
 * Bart: Kwyjibo. Uh... [looks at Homer, who lets go of his arm] a big, dumb, balding North American ape. With no chin.
 * [Homer is offended and angrily looks down at Bart more]
 * Marge: And a short temper.
 * Homer: [turns red in anger] I'll show you a big, dumb, balding ape! [angrily chases Bart]
 * Bart: Uh-oh! Kwyjibo on the loose!

 * Principal Skinner: [sees the writing on the school wall about him saying he's a wiener, but in an incorrect sentence] Whoever did this is in very deep trouble.
 * Martin: And a sloppy speller, too. The preferred spelling of "wiener" is W-I-E-N-E-R. Although, "I-E" is an acceptable ethnic variant.
 * Principal Skinner: Good point. Boys, let's see your hands. [checks Lewis's hands] Mm-hmm. [checks Milhouse's hands] Good. [checks Richard's hands] Clean. [goes to Bart] Simpson?
 * [Bart shows Skinner his red painted hands]
 * Martin: You might say you caught him red-handed.
 * Principal Skinner: Simpson, you and I are going to have a little talk.
 * Bart: Same time, same place?
 * Principal Skinner: Yes. In my office after school.
 * Milhouse, Lewis, and Richard: Ooh!
 * [Bart gulps]

 * Bart: [singing] Toreador, oh, don't spit on the floor. Please use the cuspidor. That's what it's for.
 * [Bart and Homer laughing]
 * Marge: Bart, stop fooling around. Homer, stop encouraging him.
 * Homer: Don't stifle the boy, Marge. We're supposed to encourage him.
 * Marge: Shush!

 * Homer: Who's the lard butt?
 * Lisa: He's the bullfighter.
 * Bart: No way a bull's gonna miss a target that big, man.
 * [Lisa, Bart, and their father laughing]

 * Bart: Dad, I got to tell you something, hope you won't be too mad.
 * Homer: What is it, son?
 * Bart: I'm not a genius, dad.
 * Homer: What?
 * Bart: I cheated on the intelligent test. I'm sorry. But I just wanna say that the past few weeks have been great! Me and you've done stuff together, you've helped me out with things, we're closer than we've ever been. I love you, dad, and I think if something can bring us that close, it can't possibly be bad.
 * Homer: [pauses; turns red in anger] Why you little...! [chases his son angrily]
 * Bart: Uh-oh! [runs screaming]
 * Marge: What's going on out there?
 * Lisa: I think Bart's stupid again, Mom.
 * Marge: Oh, well.
 * [Bart runs into his room and closes the door]
 * Homer: [pounding on the door] You can't stay in there forever!
 * Bart: [locks the door] I can try!
 * Homer: [pounding] March your butt right out here! Now!
 * Bart: [hops on his bed] No way, man!
 * Homer: [continues pounding] Bart! I-! [stops himself with a crafty smile] Son, if you don't come out, I can't hug you and kiss you and make you feel all better.
 * Bart: [sits on his bed, reading comic books and drinking soda] You think I'm dumb enough to fall for that?! I'm insulted!
 * [Homer turns red, howls in rage and continues pounding at the door]

Homer's Odyssey

 * [The cartoon character Smilin' Joe Fission informs Bart's class about nuclear energy.]
 * Smilin' Joe Fission: Uh-oh. Whoops. Looks there's a little leftover nuclear waste. No problem.
 * [Smilin' Joe tucks the waste under a rug.]
 * Smilin' Joe Fission: I'll just put it where nobody'll find it for a million years.

 * Moe: Moe's Tavern.
 * Bart: Is Mr. Freely there?
 * Moe: Who?
 * Bart: Freely, first initials I. P.
 * Moe: Hold on, I'll check. Uh, is I. P. Freely here? Hey, everybody! I pee freely! [the customers laugh] Wait a minute...Listen to me you lousy bum. When I get a hold of you, you're dead. I swear I'm gonna slice your heart in half!
 * [Bart and Lisa laugh, before Moe hangs up]
 * Homer: You'll get that punk someday, Moe.
 * Moe: I don't know. He's tough to catch. He keeps changing his name.

There's No Disgrace Like Home

 * Homer: Afternoon, Mr. Burns!
 * Mr. Burns: Ah, hello there, uh..uh....
 * Homer: [whispers to Smithers] Simpson, Homer.
 * Smithers: [gives cue card] Here you go, sir.
 * Mr. Burns: Ah! Oh, yes. Oh, and this must be your lovely wife... [reads] Marge. Oh, and look a little...Lisa. Why, she's growing like a weed. And this must be... [lifts his thumb covering Bart's name] Brat!
 * Bart: Bart.
 * Homer: Don't correct the man, Brat!

 * [Dr. Monroe diagnoses the Simpsons' problem when he sees the rest of the family drawing Homer as they see him. Not paying attention to their disgust, he gets lost and draws an airplane with bombs on them]
 * Dr. Monroe: [to Homer] Well, if you had been paying attention, perhaps you would have noticed that your family sees you as a rather stern authority figure, an ogre, if you will.
 * Marge: Now, Doctor, that's not true.
 * Lisa: Ogre is such a strong word.
 * Bart: Right on, Doc! Another successful diagnosis.
 * Homer: That does it!
 * [Homer grabs a lamp and tries to hit Bart with it]
 * Dr. Monroe: Whoa! [takes the lamp from Homer with a chuckle] Okay, you want to kill each other. That's good. That's healthy.

Bart the General

 * Homer: Do I smell cupcakes? [Homer opens the oven] Ooh, do I ever!
 * Marge: Uh-uh, Homer. Lisa's making these for her teacher.
 * Homer: Ah. Say no more. [closes it and seconds later Bart opens it]
 * Bart: Yum! Don't mind if I do!
 * Marge: Bart! [drags him back into the kitchen]
 * Bart : Oh, man!

 * Bart: [daydream begins] Okay, Nelson. Put up your dukes! [a big shadow looms over him] Whaaaa! [runs into a school hall and closes the door, getting punched by a big hand, Nelson stomps the door down] Yikes! [throws a knives at Nelson, as he drags them off]
 * Nelson: Ha, ha, ha! [Bart grabs a machine gun and fires at Nelson] Ha, ha, ha!
 * Bart: Oh! [throws a machine gun at Nelson, who catches and eats it whole. He screams as he runs up some stairs, which he's followed by Nelson, the stairs stops at a dead end and Nelson is about to pick him up] Uh-oh.
 * Nelson: Mmmmmm, lunchtime! Ha, ha, ha! Lunchtime!
 * [As Nelson swallows him whole, Bart screams while he travels down Nelson's esophagus. The nightmare ends as Milhouse wakes Bart up, telling him that it's lunchtime]
 * Milhouse: Lunchtime, Bart. It's lunchtime.
 * Bart: I ain't gonna get out of the fourth grade alive.

 * Marge: Well, Bart, I hope you're going straight to the principal about this!
 * Bart: I guess I should do that.
 * Homer: What?! And violate the code of the schoolyard?! I'd rather Bart die!
 * Marge: What on Earth are you talking about, Homer?!
 * Homer: The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy how to be a man! Let's see: Don't tattle, always make fun of those different from you, never say anything unless you're sure everyone feels exactly the same way you do, and what else...?

 * Bart: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, contrary to what you've just seen, war is neither glamorous nor fun. There are no winners, only losers. There are no good wars, with the following exceptions: The American Revolution, World War II, and the Star Wars trilogy. If you'd like to learn more about war, there's lots of books in your local library, many of them with cool, gory pictures. Well, good night, everybody! Peace, man.

Moaning Lisa

 * Homer: Lisa! What did I tell ya about playing that saxamah-thing in the house?!
 * Lisa: I was just playing the blues...Dad. [sobs]
 * Homer: [now feeling sorry] Lisa, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. Go ahead, play your blues if it'll make you happy.
 * Lisa: No, that's okay, Dad. [sniff] I'll just work on my fingering, unless my fingers clacking on the keys is too loud for you.
 * Homer: Let's hear it. [Lisa starts clacking for a while] You just clack as loud as you want, Lis.

 * Homer: Where the hell are my keys? Who stole my keys? Come on, I'm late for work! [lifts Maggie and looks underneath]
 * Marge: Oh, Homer, you'd lose your head if it weren't securely fastened to your neck.
 * Bart: Did you check the den?
 * Homer: The den! Great idea! [heads into the den with Bart following him and he begins to pull couch apart]
 * Bart: Warm. No, cold. Colder. Ice cold.
 * Homer: You know where my keys are?
 * Bart: No, I'm talking about your breakfast. [laughs]
 * Homer: GRRRRH!!!
 * Bart: Did you check the rumpus room?
 * Homer: Rumpus room? Great idea! [runs to front door] Huh?
 * Lisa: Oh, Dad? [points. The keys are still in the door lock]
 * Homer: D'oh!

The Call of the Simpsons

 * Lisa: Remember, Dad. The handle of the Big Dipper points to the North Star.
 * Homer: That's nice, Lisa, but we're not in astronomy class. We're in the woods.
 * [Marge and Lisa groan in disgust, knowing Homer has ignored their attempts to try and help him navigate the woods]

 * [Bob the RV salesman checks Homer's credit on a computer, and a siren wails when the results come back]
 * Homer: Is that a good siren? Am I approved?
 * Bob: You ever known a siren to be good? [chuckles] No, Mr. Simpson, it's not. It's a bad siren. That's the computer in case I went blind, telling me, "Sell the vehicle to this fella, and you're outta business." That's what the siren says. It seems that the Ultimate Behemoth is a wee bit out of your price range. And wee bit is me being polite, you couldn't afford this thing even if you lived to be a million.
 * Homer: Don't you have something that isn't out of my price range? I don't want to go away empty handed, Bob.
 * Bob: Take it easy, there. Don't ruin this feeling I'm getting from you. Perhaps I can show you something a little more you.

The Telltale Head

 * [Bart skateboards down to the movie theater]
 * Jimbo: Hey, hot dog.
 * Bart: What? [crashes into a lamp post]
 * Jimbo: Nice dismount, man. [he and his friends laugh]
 * Bart: Didn't hurt.
 * Kearney: Oh, yeah? Well, do it again!
 * Bart: Nah. Might land on my face and end up looking like you.

 * [Chief Wiggum leads a press conference about the town statue]
 * Chief Wiggum: [clears throat] Well, we have no witnesses, no suspects, and no leads. If anyone has any information, please dial "0" and ask for the police. That number again, "0."

Life on the Fast Lane

 * Jacques: It is nice to meet you... [looks at name on Marge's bowling ball] Homer.
 * Marge: Oh, no, no..."Homer" is my...ball's name. I'm Marge.
 * Jacques: [chuckles to himself] Your fingers are so slender, so feminine. They're far too tapered for the ball you are using. You need something lighter. More delicate. Here. Use my ball.
 * Marge: Hmm...No, no, thank you, Mister - um - [looks at Jacques' ball] Brunswick.
 * Jacques: Call me Jacques.
 * Marge: Jacques.
 * Jacques: Marge.
 * Marge: Hmm...I'll just use my ball.
 * Jacques: As you wish. Many people have senseless attachments to heavy, clumsy things, such as this "Homer" of yours.

 * Jacques: Marge, Darling, I...I want to see you tomorrow. Not at Barney's Bowl-a-Rama. Away from the thunderous folly of clattering pins. Meet me tomorrow for brunch!
 * Marge: What's brunch?
 * Jacques: You'll love it. It's not quite breakfast, it's not quite lunch. But it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end! You don't get completely what you would at breakfast, but you get a good meal!

Homer's Night Out

 * Homer: [weighs himself again after six months] OH, NO! 239 lbs?!? I'm a whale! Why was I cursed with this weakness for snack treats? [more serious] Well from now on, exercise every morning, Homer! [stretches in front of the bathroom mirror]
 * Marge: [enters] Ohhh...Don't strain yourself, dear.
 * Homer: Good idea, Marge.

 * [Homer pays a visit to the Kwik-E-Mart, after he has unknowingly become famous from his photo with Princess Kashmir being posted all over town]
 * Homer: One glazed, and one Scratch-'N-Win, please.
 * Apu: You look familiar, sir. Are you on the television or something?
 * Homer: Sorry, buddy. You got me confused with Fred Flintstone. [chuckles; Apu hands him his lottery ticket and he starts to scratch it off] Oh. Liberty Bell. [scratches some more and gasps] Another Liberty Bell! One more and I'm a millionaire. Come on, Liberty Bell, please, please, please, please, please, please! [scratches to reveal a plum] D'oh! That purple fruit thing. Where were you yesterday?

 * [Homer gets out of his car, whistling, arrives home, Marge furiously opens a door, Homer gasps]
 * Marge: [holding up a picture of Homer and Princess Kashmir] What is the meaning of this?!
 * Homer: Meaningless, Marge. Don't even attempt to find meaning in it. There's nothing between me and Princess Kashmir.
 * Marge: Princess who?!
 * Bart: [walks by] Hey, my photo!
 * Homer and Marge: Your photo?!
 * Bart: Uh-oh.
 * Homer: Why you little- [about to choke Bart]
 * Marge: Why you big- [chokes Homer] Bart, go to your room!
 * Bart: I'm outta here. [leaves]
 * Homer: Look, Marge, honey, baby, doll, I-
 * Marge: Homer, I don't even want to look at you right now.
 * Homer: What are you saying, honey? But where will I sleep?
 * Marge: My suggestion...is for you to sleep in the filth you created!
 * Homer: Would a motel be okay? [Marge slams the door in Homer's face. Sadly, he walks away from his house and heads for his car. Marge opens the house door] Oh, I knew you'd come to your-
 * Marge: [throws a suitcase at Homer] Here. If you have any soul left, you'll need these. I know I will. [closes the door as she goes back inside]
 * [Homer sitting in tears in the front of his house]

 * Homer: [speaks on a phone] Marge! Marge! We're gonna try one more place, the Sapphire Lounge. [turns to Bart] Bart! I said look at the floor!

The Crepes of Wrath

 * [Principal Skinner offers a solution to Bart's problems at school]
 * Principal Skinner: Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, we have transcended incorrigible. I don't think suspension or expulsion will do the trick. I think it behooves us all to consider deportation.
 * Marge: Deportation?! You mean kick Bart out of the country?!
 * Homer: Hear him out, Marge.

 * [Adil and Lisa debate at the dinner table]
 * Adil: How can you defend a country where five percent of the people control 95 percent of the wealth?
 * Lisa: I'm defending a country where people can think, and act, and worship any way they want!
 * Adil: Can not.
 * Lisa: Can too.
 * Adil: Can not!
 * Lisa: Can too!
 * Homer: Please, please, kids, stop fighting. Maybe Lisa's right about America being the land of opportunity, and maybe Adil's got a point about the machinery of capitalism being oiled with the blood of the workers.

Krusty Gets Busted

 * Apu: What's the matter, sir? Never have I seen you look so unhappy while purchasing such a large quantity of ice cream.
 * Homer: The reason I look unhappy is that tonight I have to see a slideshow starring my wife's sisters. Or as I call them "The Gruesome Twosome."
 * (Homer and Apu chuckles. Homer turns around to head back to the car and accidentally steps on Sideshow Bob's foot)
 * Sideshow Bob:[disguised as Krusty] Ow! My foot, you lousy stupid clumsy...!!!
 * Homer: Sorry, pal. [gasps in horror when he notices Krusty holding a handgun and dives head first into a potato chip display]
 * Sideshow Bob: [disguised as Krusty and drawing his gun at Apu] Hand over all your money in a paper bag!
 * Apu: Yes, yes, I know the procedure for armed robbery. I do work in a convenience store, you know. [hands over a paper bag after which Krusty flees] You can emerge now from my chips. [Homer peaks his head] The opportunity to prove yourself a hero is long gone.
 * [Homer gasps with relief]

 * [Outside the studio, Sideshow Bob is arrested by the police. Everyone else watches on, while Bart, Lisa and the other children have their arms folded in anger over what he done to Krusty]
 * Sideshow Bob: [in handcuffs] Yes, I admit it. I hated him! His hackneyed shenanigans robbed me of my dignity for years. I played the buffoon, while he squandered a fortune on his vulgar appetites. That's why I framed Krusty! And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for these meddling kids!
 * Bart: Take him away, boys.
 * Sideshow Bob: [being carted off to jail] Treat kids like equals, they're people too. They're smarter than what you think! They were smart enough to catch me!

Some Enchanted Evening

 * Lisa: Aw, come on, Bart, not again!
 * Bart: [dialing the phone] Aw, where's your sense of humor?
 * Moe: Moe's Tavern.
 * Bart: Hello, is Al there?
 * Moe: Al?
 * Bart: Yeah, Al. Last name: Coholic.
 * Moe: Lemme check. [calls]  Phone call for Al! Al Coholic! Is there an Al Coholic here?! [bar denizens laugh] Wait a minute... [to the phone] Listen, you little yellow-bellied rat jackass, if I ever find out who you are, I'll kill you! [hangs up]
 * [Bart and Lisa laugh]
 * Homer: [depressed] I hope you do find that punk someday, Moe. Fill 'er up.

 * Bart: A little pre-dinner entertainment.
 * Moe: [answering the phone] Moe's Tavern.
 * Bart: Is Oliver there?
 * Moe: Who?
 * Bart: Oliver Klozoff.
 * Moe: Hold on, I'll check. [calls] Oliver Clothesoff, call for Oliver Clothesoff!
 * Bart and Lisa: [laugh]

 * [Marge picks up the phone]
 * Moe: [on the phone] Listen, you lousy bum, if I ever get a hold of you, I swear I'll cut your belly open!
 * Marge: [hangs up] Goodness, must be a crossed wire.

 * [Marge dials the babysitting service. At the Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper Babysitting Service, there are three older women, including Ms. Botz]
 * Receptionist: Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper Babysitting Service.
 * Marge: This is Marge Simpson. I'd like a babysitter for the evening.
 * Receptionist: Wait a minute. The Simpsons? [looks over at a bulletin board with Bart, Lisa and Maggie's faces on it, warning their employees not to babysit them due to their countless misbehavior] Lady, you've got to be kidding! [slams the phone, continues writing, phone rings seconds later] Rubber Baby Buggie Bumper Babysitting Service.
 * Homer: Hello, this is Mr. S...Sampson.
 * Receptionist: [sensing something fishy] Did your wife just call a second ago?
 * Homer: No, I said Sampson, not Simpson.
 * Receptionist: [visibly relieved] Thank God! Those Simpsons, what a bunch of savages! Especially that big ape father!
 * Homer: [angrily] D'oh! [trying to keep calm] Actually, the Simpsons are neighbors of ours and we found them to be a quite misunderstood and underrated family.

It appears this is a hoax (see its AFD nomination on Wikipedia). User:Netsnipe requested that the page be speedy-deleted, but Wikipedia's patent nonsense page specifically says that hoaxes are not considered patent nonsense, and this are not speedy-deletable. —LrdChaos 15:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: Hoaxes are classed as vandalism, and vandalism may be speedily deleted. JzG 15:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Please do not strike my sig. The above was a comment for information from a WP admin, not a vote. All the Wikipedia articles have now been rmeoved as "simple vandalism" (speedy G3). JzG 09:48, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The above two posts were made by . (We have no way of knowing whether you are the identified WP user, but your point about commenting is taken.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * JzG was the admin on wikipedia who speedied the articles and blocked the sockpuppets. I think here we can use common sense and assume good faith that it is the same person and he is being helpful and informative. Tyrenius 17:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I hesitate generally to combine anon sig with a certain registered user on another project, so I'd like to think it anon's comment as usual: it could be hardly proven and the identification is not the matter of "assume good faith". Note that I don't say if it is impostoring or not; we will take his or her comment based on assuming good faith, but it isn't relevant principally who said that.
 * So I prefer to stroke "faked sigs" rather keep them, since I convince we shouldn't encourage anon editors to comment in such a manner. However I can accept a compromise to put a remark like JeffQ made.
 * As for the latter part of his second comment, I can't simply understand why he should input it. VfD is not a place to change policy at all and there is no reason a EN WP policy should instantly be appliable to other projects. I appreciate your information though, but feel the autonomy of our project threaten and ignored. Even on good faith, it could be still very annoyable. --Aphaia 05:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Not sure of the procedure here, but I thought I'd mention all the other articles in this batch have been speedy deleted on wikipedia via a creative interpretation of "blatant vandalism". Tyrenius 17:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. If even Wikipedia is having to interpret its rules loosely to SD a hoax, we, with our 2-year-older limited rules, are pretty much stuck with a VfD, I think. Google search currently shows only 4 hits for "Satchel Cohen", the first two of which are WP (now defunct) and WQ (soon to be so). I don't think this merits a blanking to avoid propagating the hoax during the VfD. In fact, watching Google hits in the next two weeks might make for an interesting case study in how quickly Wikiquote gets mirrored to other quote websites. (For reference, the other two currently are at HomestayFinder and Pessac Panthêres (French).) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Swami Vivekananda

Censored quotes

 * Quotes added recently were not moved to talk. I am moving them here for  to save him this work, since he repeatedly refuses to do it despite being asked MANY times by many users.

 * But MonsterHunter32 still needs to give full reasoning (for each removed quote) on the talkpage.

 * All deleted quotes must at the very least be moved by him to the article talkpage with a note that they were removed from the article, giving full reasoning (for each removed quote), as required by Template:Remove.

Now you are again doing deliberate misrepresenations when you claim you have discussed the quotes. You have almost never yourself moved quotes to the talkpage with full reasoning as was asked dozens of time by mulitple users.

What I ask as a minimal first step from you is that you move all your deleted quotes to the article talkpages with a note that they were removed from the article, giving full reasoning.

This is a minimal first step that is required to enable the further discussion of the removed quotes, and that you have refused to do despite being asked so many times by multiple users. Until you do that, what you say are just poor excuses. You have failed to provide your reasoning for each deleted quote on the talkpage despite being told many times by many users. And in most cases you did not even move the censored quotes to the talkpage.

 * All quotes censored by MonsterHunter32 must at the very least be moved by him to the article talkpage with a note that they were removed from the article, giving full reasoning (for each removed quote), as required by Template:Remove. Otherwise, the status quo (uncensored) version should be kept.

 * As long as you refuse to even move the censored quotes to the article talkpage with a note that they were removed from the article, giving full reasoning, which was asked by many people many times, you are just giving poor excuses to avoid open discussion where other editors are also involved. --Jedi3 (talk) 08:47, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Here you see an overview with the current status (which does not even include all of the deleted quotes):

Quote

 * Swami Vivekananda's close associate Sister Nivedita testifies that Swamiji was a great devotee of the Buddha: 'Again and again he would return upon the note of perfect rationality in his hero. Buddha was to him not only the greatest of Aryans but also 'the one absolutely sane man' that the world had ever seen.  How he had refused worship! (...) How vast had been the freedom and humility of the Blessed One!  (...) He alone was able to free religion entirely from the argument of the supernatural, and yet make it as binding in its force, and as living in its appeal, as it had ever been." Sister Nivedita also relates that Swamiji's first act after taking Sannyas was to "hurry to Bodh Gaya, and sit under the great tree"; and that his last journey, too, had taken him to Bodh Gaya.

Anyone have an authoritative source that Swami Vivekananda wrote:

"Like me or Hate me, both are in my favor, If you like me I am in your Heart, If you hate me I am in your mind."

MonsterHunter32's deletions
As was told to you multiple times by mulitiple editors, you have to have move quotes to the talkpage that you want to blank from the article, with an explanation. See Template:Remove --Jedi3 (talk) 17:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Template:Remove: Quotes should never be removed without a comment in the edit summary, and should almost always be moved to the Talk page with a note that they were removed from the article, giving full reasoning. Otherwise the deletions can be reverted on that ground alone. --Jedi3 (talk) 20:20, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Due to the continued refusal of User:MonsterHunter32 to move deleted quotes to the talkpage with full reasoning, as was told to him by many users many times, I am copying them here in one place (they are all India-related), so that others interested in the same topic area can comment on it in one place.

He was warned many times by multiple users that per Template:Remove the following is valid and must be observed:

 * All deleted quotes must at the very least be moved by him to the article talkpage with a note that they were removed from the article, giving full reasoning (for each removed quote), as required by Template:Remove. Otherwise, the status quo (uncensored) version should be kept.

See Talk:India

He has done dozens of blankings of my additions, most of them without ANY discussion on the talkpage, without moving the censored quotes to talk, and with very poor excuses (like that he only needs to "explain" his mass-blanking of many quotes in the same edit in his edit summary). .He refuses to discuss to discuss his censorship on talk, and just continues edit-warring.

The deleted quote is very eloquently written, and as the quote makes clear it describes an imporant part of Vivekanandas beliefs and life. Sister Nivedita was a very important disciple of Vivekanda, her view on Vivekananda deserve to be quoted. This quote strings her views on Vivekandana relationship with Buddhism together in one short, concise and apt memorable quote that is also eloquent. But if you can find a better quote about the same topic that is equally eloquent, concise and apt, we can discuss it. --Jedi3 (talk) 19:39, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

I offered BD2412 to move quotes instead of him. The only reason I didn't move them earlier because I thought it would be better to discuss one article and one quote at a time. I removed them because I thought of them as non-notable:

 * Swami Vivekananda's close associate Sister Nivedita testifies that Swamiji was a great devotee of the Buddha: 'Again and again he would return upon the note of perfect rationality in his hero. Buddha was to him not only the greatest of Aryans but also 'the one absolutely sane man' that the world had ever seen.  How he had refused worship! (...) How vast had been the freedom and humility of the Blessed One!  (...) He alone was able to free religion entirely from the argument of the supernatural, and yet make it as binding in its force, and as living in its appeal, as it had ever been." Sister Nivedita also relates that Swamiji's first act after taking Sannyas was to "hurry to Bodh Gaya, and sit under the great tree"; and that his last journey, too, had taken him to Bodh Gaya.
