Dialogue

 * Beltzer: Okay, Professor! Hang on there, I think I fixed it. I got it.
 * Jo: [almost gets electrocuted by a short in the portable Doppler radar unit] Fuck me, this thing is USELESS!
 * Beltzer: Whoops. Sorry, Jo.

 * Bill: Hiya, Jo.
 * Jo: Hey, Bill. I'm happy you found us.
 * Bill: How're you doing?
 * Jo: [Briefly looks up at the gathering storm clouds and smiles wide] It's going good. Did you see the sky today?
 * Bill: Yeah, she's, uh, she's really talking.
 * Jo: Catch. [Tosses some electrical cables to Bill, who only catches them at the last second] It's the biggest series of storms in 12 years; one lined up right after another. NSSL says they've never seen anything like it.

 * Rabbit: Look, all I'm saying is don't fold the maps.
 * Sanders: I didn't fold the maps.
 * Rabbit: Yeah, well Kansas is a mess, there's a big crease right through Wichita. ROLL THE MAPS.

 * [Bill and Jo are talking about Melissa]
 * Bill: YES, she's very nice. NO, she does not work at the station, she...she's a therapist.
 * [pause]
 * Jo: Oh.
 * [another pause]
 * Jo: Yours?
 * Bill: CHRIST, [Jo: What?!] you couldn't resist, could you?
 * Jo: I'm not saying you [Bill: Come on.] need therapy!
 * Bill: [missing Jo's point] What? [Jo: I'm not--] Wait, wait, wait, wait, I need therapy?
 * Jo: I didn't say that!
 * Bill: I need a therapist? [Jo: I didn't say that!] What could I possibly need a therapist for?
 * Jo: I don't know.
 * Bill: You're the doctor, tell me.
 * Jo: I don't know! Um... inability to finish things? Maybe rushing into things you can't quite commit to?
 * Bill: Commitment?
 * Jo: You asked me. [Bill: Look...] YOU ASKED ME!
 * Bill: NO, that is BULLSHIT. Look, I may [Jo: You asked--] have walked out, [looks away from the road and at Jo] but at least I showed up in the first place...
 * Jo: [while Bill is rambling] Okay, THERE'S A WHOLE ROAD THING GOING ON OUT HERE, OKAY?
 * Bill: You never had the slightest idea about commitment - what being married means! [truck veers into the grass] Like-like... stability, supportiveness, and a house, and all kinds of neat stuff like that!
 * Jo: Can I drive?
 * Bill: NO.
 * Jo: [notices Bill about to hit a parked combine] Then would you?
 * Bill: WHOA!! [steers the car to safety] Damn...
 * Jo: Somebody should warn her about your temper.
 * Bill: Jo, I swear to--
 * Jo: She obviously has no idea what she's getting herself into.
 * [Cuts to Beltzer & Haynes driving, listening to Bill & Jo's arguement]
 * Bill: [over radio] Stay the hell out of it. I know exactly what I'm doing! [Jo: What exactly are you doing?] What am I doing?
 * Haynes: I think they're getting better at this.
 * [Cuts back to Bill & Jo]
 * Jo: You know what? As long as you're happy...
 * Bill: THANK YOU. I am happy. I'm a happy person. I'm happy with my life. I'm happy with the way things are going in my life. I'm happy with... [falls apart] with-- with-- with-- with--
 * Jo: Melissa?
 * Bill: [trying to cover up his messup] I KNOW HER NAME. Yes! I'm happy with MELISSA.
 * Jo: You look happy. You're happy.
 * Bill: I AM.

 * [During Bill and Jo's argument, Beltzer notices a tornado forming ahead of them)
 * Beltzer: Shit. Shit! [on the radio] Hey, are you guys gonna wrap this up pretty soon?
 * Bill: WHAT?
 * Beltzer: [obviously sarcastic] Oh, nothing [clears his throat] I was just wondering if we were gonna chase this tornado, or just catch the next one.
 * Bill: SHIT!!

 * Jo: (when Bill hesitates to drive towards a tornado) Have you lost your nerve?
 * Bill: (laughs) Tighten your seatbelt! (tightens Jo's seatbelt and drives down the ditch)

 * Bill: Why can't we spend a normal day together?

 * [Jo and Jonas' chaser teams drive alongside one another on the same road to intercept a tornado. Bill, driving lead with Jo and Melissa, looks up at the tornado, then suddenly steps on the brake, stopping his truck and the rest of the team following]
 * Jo: What're you doing? What're you doing?!
 * [Jonas and his driver Eddie briefly look back in confusion, but keep driving]
 * Bill: Look at the updraft, the angle. It's gonna shift its track.
 * Jo: Are you sure?
 * Bill: Oh yeah, it's definitely a sidewinder...It'll move left.
 * Melissa: Is that bad?
 * Bill: Wasn't there a road back there–?
 * Jo: [Sees what Bill saw] You're right. Go, go, go, go, go!
 * [Bill quickly reverses, then turns left onto another road, the rest of the team following]
 * Melissa: [Her phone rings. She answers] Hello? Donald, now's not a very good time for me, I'm – okay, put Julia on...
 * [In his truck, Jonas is calculating the track of the tornado. Eddie's watching the tornado, sees it starting to turn.]
 * Jonas: Looking good, looking very good. Alright, now about four miles south, hang a right, let's deploy, and we'll be done.
 * Eddie: Uh, Dr. Miller?
 * Jonas: [Looks up and sees the tornado's new heading] Shit, shit, IT'S MOVING AWAY! God!
 * Eddie: [Sees Bill's team down a different road] Looks like they're gonna intercept.
 * Jonas: [Looks with his binoculars in surprise at where Bill's team is] Dammit, Tony, I thought you told me this thing was gonna stay on the same heading!

 * Jo: (after finding a barn full of sharp instruments) Oh my God, who are these people?!
 * Bill: I don't think so!

 * (a house crashes in front of Bill and Jo and they have no choice but to drive through it)
 * Bill: I think we're going in! (they scream as they drive through the house and out the other side) ...Maybe we should get off this road.
 * Jo: I think you're right.

 * Dusty: (after Jo and Bill drive through an explosion) Jo, Bill did you see that explosion?
 * Jo: ...We saw it.

 * Rabbit: Try to find this road. It's like Bob's Road...

 * Dusty: (realizes a tornado is coming) Jo, Bill, it's coming! It's headed right for us!
 * Bill: (staring at the nearby tornado with Jo and Mellisa) It's already here! (to everyone nearby) Everybody underground now!

 * (Bill pulls Jo to the truck as she fights)
 * Jo: Beltzer will tell us if drops near us!
 * Bill: It's not gonna drop near us, its gonna drop right on us!
 * (they get out just as the tornado drops where they just were)

 * Jo: Where's the road Rabbit?!
 * Rabbit: It should be any second!
 * (the group come out on the road a moment later and nearly crash into Jonas' convoy)
 * Preacher: HELLO. Shit.

 * Mellisa: (after being caught in a tornado while chasing it with Bill and Jo; frightened to tears) When you told me you used to chase tornados, deep down I always thought it was a metaphor!

 * (Jo and Bill are arguing about Melissa, and don't notice a tornado)
 * Beltzer: Hey, are you gonna wrap this up?
 * Bill: WHAT?
 * Beltzer: [obviously sarcastic] Oh, nothing, I was just wondering if we were going to chase this tornado or just catch the next one.
 * Bill: SHIT!!

 * [Melissa is giving therapy to a patient over the phone.]
 * Melissa: She did not marry your penis. Ok, she didn't ONLY marry your penis.

 * Dusty: Bill, she just missed the truck!

 * [After their first attempt to launch Dorthy fails. Jo is picking up parts, while Dusty is chuckling]
 * Dusty: Well, there's some good news. It DID fly. What was it like?
 * Jo: ...It was windy.
 * Dusty: Windy. [Chuckles] That's intense.
 * Jo: Alright, get out of the way, Dusty.
 * Dusty: That's intense. That's intense.

 * Jo: [After her truck is destroyed, looking over at Bill's truck] Do you have full coverage on that truck?
 * Bill: Liability only.
 * Jo: Liability only...Well, it's a very pretty truck.
 * Melissa: Thank you.
 * [Bill smiles and realizes what she is thinking]
 * Bill: Don't even think about it. [Jo looks at him] NO WAY.

 * Rabbit: Y'know, in a severe lightning storm, you want to grab your ankles and stick your butt in the air.
 * Haynes: He's right. If you're gonna get hit it's the safest orifice.
 * Joey: Yeah, I'd like to get hit by lightning once, y'know, see what it's like.

 * Rabbit: God Meg, you got alot of beef. Where'd you get all this beef?
 * Aunt Meg: Did you see my cows out front?
 * Rabbit: No.
 * Aunt Meg: Op...aaah!
 * [laughter from everyone]
 * Rabbit: Oh.
 * Dusty: You slaughter your own cows! Meg, nice!

 * Melissa: I was just wondering why do you call Billy "The Extreme"?
 * Dusty: 'Cause Billy is The Extreme.
 * Preacher: Bill is most out-of-control sonofabitch in the gang!
 * Bill: No, I think I came in 2nd. [Gives Jo a look, who smirks back]
 * Dusty: Oh, I've seen The Extreme in high gear.
 * Jo: You guys need to come up with some new stories. I'm gonna go clean up. [Leaves to take a shower]
 * Dusty: So we get this one near Daleton right?
 * Rabbit: Oh, god.
 * Dusty: And we are way too close. And Jo's got the vid on it right, she's filming it. And all of the sudden outta nowhere, this shitty lookin' green Valiant comes pulling up right in the way.
 * Beltzer: [points to Bill] And this loser stumbles out of the car, he's got like a bottle of Jack Daniel's in his hand...
 * Dusty: He is naked!
 * Rabbit: He is buck naked.
 * Beltzer: Naked!
 * Bill: NOT naked! [laughter] I was not naked!
 * Beltzer: [whispering into Melissa's ear] He was without apparel.
 * Bill: Half naked.
 * Dusty: Naked. Ok, so Jo's yelling at him to get out of the way, right? [laughter] And he just strolls up to the twister, says 'have a drink', and he chucks the bottle into the twister, and it NEVER hits the ground.
 * Beltzer: The twister caught it and sucked it right up!
 * Bill: Honey, this is a tissue full of lies. See, there was another Bill, an evil Bill, and I killed him.
 * Dusty: I LOVE THIS GUY!

 * Preacher: No, that was a good size twister. What was it, an F-3?
 * Bill: Solid F-2.
 * Melissa: See, now you've lost me again.
 * Bill: It's the Fujita Scale. It measures the intensity of a tornado by how much it eats.
 * Melissa: Eats?
 * Bill: Destroys.
 * Lawrence: The one we encountered back there was a strong F-2, F-3 maybe.
 * Beltzer: Maybe we'll see some F-4's today.
 * Haynes: That would be sweet!
 * Bill: 4 is good. 4 will relocate your house very efficiently.
 * Melissa: Is there an F-5? [silence falls over the group] What would that be like?
 * Preacher: ...The Finger of God.
 * Melissa: None of you has ever seen an F-5?
 * Bill: ...Just one of us.

 * [A combine has just been dropped from a tornado.]
 * Jo: Debris! Dusty, we have Debris!
 * Bill: DEBRIS!!
 * Jo: RIGHT!!
 * [Bill swerves around the combine, more things drop in front of them]
 * Jo: LEFT! [Bill continues swerving] RIGHT! LEFT!
 * [They finally evade their truck getting destroyed]
 * Bill: What now?!
 * Jo: [breathlessly] I have no idea!

 * Jo: :[during an argument] Can I drive?
 * Bill: No!
 * Jo: Then will you? :[the truck is about to hit a tractor]
 * Bill: WOAH! [Swerves away] GODDAMN!

 * Jo: Where's my truck? [Jo's truck falls from the sky in the way of Melissa. Melissa screams hysterically, while at the same time able to swerve around it] There it is.
 * Bill: Melissa?!
 * [Melissa stops the truck, panting and in shock. The rest of the team goes to meet her. Dusty is there first]
 * Dusty: Did you just miss that truck? That's AWESOME! That's AWESOME!

 * Rabbit: Uh... yeah, trust me. Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wise.

 * Jo: :[cow flies by in the storm] Cow.
 * Melissa: [On the phone] I gotta go Julia, we got cows.
 * Jo: Another cow.
 * Bill: Actually I think that was the same one.

 * [Aunt Meg is being loaded into an ambulance]
 * Jo: Is she going to be OK?
 * Paramedic: We'll probably keep her overnight just to be safe.
 * Aunt Meg: Overnight? Forget it, I'm all right.
 * Jo: You're going to the hospital.
 * Aunt Meg: OK, I'll go, but I'm gonna drive myself.
 * Rabbit: Honey, your car is in a tree around the corner.
 * Aunt Meg: UUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

 * Rabbit: You know, Jo, some of us couldn't help but notice how close we are to Wakita.
 * Jo: No.
 * Sanders: Aunt Meg wouldn't mind a pit stop, right?
 * Jo: No!
 * Dusty: Red meat! We crave sustenance!
 * Jo: Guys, we are NOT invading my aunt!
 * Dusty: F-food!
 * Rest of the Team: Food! FOOD!
 * Jo: Hey! We're absolutely not going!

 * Bill: Jonas!  Son of a bitch!
 * Melissa: Who is that honey?
 * Bill: Jonas Miller.  He's a nightcrawler.  We all started out working in the same lab, but Jonas went out and got some corporate sponsors.  He's in it for the money not the science.  He has a lot of high tech gadgets, but he's got no instincts, and he doesn't have Dorothy.

 * Dusty: It's the wonder of nature baby!

 * [Bill sees Jonas talking to a camera crew about his D.O.T.3 system, then starts angrily walking toward him]
 * Jo: Bill?
 * Bill: Why didn't you tell me?
 * Jo: Bill, don't!
 * Joey: Uh, what?
 * Jonas: And what will soon be the center of all studies- [Bill punches Jonas off his hat and slams him against his D.O.T.3 system] Hey! Hey! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
 * [Bill's team goes to stop Bill arguing with Jonas]
 * Bill: You son-of-a-bitch! What, did you think I wasn't gonna find out?
 * Jonas: Hey guys, get this loser off of me!
 * [Bill's team comes to pull Bill off of Jonas, so as Jonas's team pushing Bill away]
 * Jonas's team member #1: Alright! Back off! Back off!
 * Jonas's team member #2: Put your malfunction, man!
 * Joey: Come on, he's not worth it!
 * Jonas: What is the matter with you?!
 * Bill: [Tries to push at Jonas again] You stole my design, you son of a bitch!
 * Joey: Calm down!
 * Jonas: [Pushes Bill back] What the hell are you talking about?!
 * Bill: DOROTHY. You took her, you damn THIEF!
 * Jonas: [Realizes what Bill is talking about and smiles] Oh, I get it. You wanna take credit for my designs, is that it?
 * Bill: You're a liar. She was our idea and you know it!
 * Jonas: Unrealized idea. Unrealized.
 * Bill: That thing ain't worth shit! [Tries to attack Jonas again, Jo helps stop it]
 * Jo: Hey! Hey, guys! Bill! Guys! GUYS!!! Oh my guys! Get a grip on yourselves. We both know they'll never get that thing up in the air.
 * Joey: That's right!
 * Jonas: Well, let me enlighten you people. This baby has satellite com-link. We've got an onboard pulse Doppler, and we've got NEXRAD real-time. Today, we're gonna make history. So stick around, 'cause the days of sniffing the dirt are over.
 * Rabbit: Better than what you sniff.
 * Bill: We'll see who gets it first, PAL.
 * Jonas: Oh, and by the way...[Referring to Bill's new weatherman job] I really enjoy your weather reports. [Laughs and walks away]
 * [Some of Jonas's team members laugh]
 * Bill: [Tries to go after Jonas again] JEEZ, YOU SLIME!!! I'm not through with you, yet!

''[Melissa sees the commotion. Jo's team holds Bill back until Jonas leaves, so as Jonas's team pushing Bill away. Bill then shoves them away, though still fuming]''
 * Rabbit: Alright! Alright!
 * Bill: Come on! Come here! Come on! Come on! Get your hands off of me! Let go of me! OKAY!!!
 * Sanders: He's a corporate kiss-butt, man!
 * Jo: [Walks to Bill] I'm sorry. I should've told you.
 * Bill: [Glaring at Jo] ONE DAY. I'll give you one day. Whether she flies or not, I'm gone.

 * [last lines]
 * Allan: Hey, Jo, Bill, check out that sky!
 * Jo: You know what? I think we've seen enough. [Turns to kiss Bill]

Lawrence Eagleburger

Lawrence Eagleburger (August 1, 1930 – June 4, 2011), also known as Lawrence of Macedonia, was an American statesman and career diplomat, who served briefly as the Secretary of State under President George H. W. Bush. Previously, he had served in lesser capacities under Presidents Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and as Deputy Secretary of State under George H. W. Bush.

Quotes

 * I think Scowcroft has done us all a great favor by his article saying don't do it. My own personal view is that basically General Scowcroft is correct. Unless the president can make a very compelling case that Saddam Hussein has his finger on a weapon of mass destruction and is about ready to use it, I do not think that now is the time to go to war against Saddam Hussein.

Talk:Truth

Pope Pius V quote
I've removed this quote, attributed to Pope St. Pius V: "He who knows the truth and does not speak it is a miserable coward and not a Christian!" from the article. I can't find anything to support that he's ever said it; a Yahoo search turns up one result (a heavily biased article about genocide in Armenia) and a Google search yields only eight hits, of which only two are in English, and one is the same as the result from the Yahoo search. The other is a user signature in a comment to an editorial piece about Bush and Kerry. Without any evidence to support that the quote was actually said, and said by Pius V, it has no place on the page. —LrdChaos 20:30, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Djinati
I was looking for a quote from Sanskrit: Sabadanam dhamadanam djinati, or something like that, perhaps spelled different, with the meaning "Greatest of all gifts is Trouth". Could somebody help me with this?

Scruton quote reviewed
'When truth cannot make itself known in words, it will make itself known in deeds' is not present on page 22 of The New Criterion, Jan 2006. Nor elswhere in Scruton's essay Limits to democracy as it appears in that publication.

it is in SEPTEMBER 2006 "Should he have spoken?"

 * There are but few saints amongst scientists, as among other men, but truth itself is a goal comparable with sanctity.
 * George Sarton (1884–1956)

 * Basically, I have this theory that there are five kinds of truth. (This is Joe's Theory of the Five Truths.) There is the truth you tell to casual strangers and acquaintances. There is the truth you tell to your general circle of friends and family members. There is the truth you tell to only one or two people in your entire life. There is the truth you tell to yourself. And finally, there is the truth that you do not admit even to yourself. And it's that fifth truth that provides some of the most interesting drama ...

Even after I removed some duplicate images (and one broken image), this page has 55 images on it - which seems to be to be far beyond what is necessary. Anyone agree or disagree? ~ UDScott (talk) 18:30, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

An image with an unsourced quotation is unhelpful decoration. Is there a source for "Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt". It does not appear on the linked Roosevelt page. --Bill Freese (talk) 18:08, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The source is provided in the body text of this article page; I have also added that quote to the FDR article page as well. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 18:25, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Pius V quote
I've just put up an explanation at the talk page for Truth about why I've removed the quote you've attributed to Pope St. Pius V from the page. In short, there's no evidence to support that the quote was ever uttered by him. If you can provide a respectable source that also attributes or sources the quote, feel free to re-add it.

If you'd like to reply, you can do so here, at the Truth talk page, or on my talk page. —LrdChaos 20:33, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Quote
Right now, only a single quote ("The United States is not without guilty") is listed. I think it's wrong, as a search for that exact phrase (which doesn't make grammatical sense) doesn't turn up anything, and a search for the phrase "The United States is not without guilt" turns up very few results, none from Eagleburger. Also, there needs to be some context presented with the quote (the US is not without guilt for what?). —LrdChaos 20:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Lawrence Eagleburger
I've just made a comment about the quote you've put on the Lawrence Eagleburger page on its talk page. Basically, I'm a little confused by the quote, which doesn't seem to turn up any hits in a search, and seems almost like it was cut off short. If you could take a look there, I'd appreciate it. If you have any questions, you can reply here, on that talk page, or on my talk page. Thanks. —LrdChaos 20:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bottom (TV series)

Edited the layout. Moved the quotes from here into the page. Still have one unidentified episode. I found the scripts for the TV series so I assume its from one of the live shows.

You've got to be sh***** me; I enhanced a quote - which made it far more comical; the one where Eddie rents a video from the Hussein brothers and is at home watching it (any decent Bottom fan knows this scene!) and it got reverted back to measly two sentances ...and there isn't even this funny quote: "Spudgun: Merry Christmas everyone. Richie: Yes, Merry Christmas one and all! [Spudgun and Richie gulp their drinks down; Eddie throws his over his shoulder.] Hedgehog: What, is it Christmas? Today? Oh, Merry Christmas then. That must be why that woman gave me that after-shave this morning. Eddie: What woman? Hedgehog: Oh, you know, that old woman who keeps hanging around the place. You know Eddie, what's her name; my wife. Andrea. No no, Avril, that's it. No, what am I thinking of, Susan! That's the one!" ...needless to say I won't be adding to this site anymore.

Saki

Saki (18 December 1870 – 13 November 1916) was the pen name of British author Hector Hugh Munro, whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirised Edwardian society and culture.

Quotes

 * We all know that Prime Ministers are wedded to the truth, but like other married couples they sometimes live apart.
 * The Unbearable Bassington (1912), Ch. 13

 * I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.
 * The Unbearable Bassington (1912)

 * Put that bloody cigarette out!
 * His last words, before being shot by a German sniper who'd heard the remark, as reported in The Square Egg (1924), p. 102

Reginald (1904)

 * Reginald in his wildest lapses into veracity never admits to being more than twenty-two.
 * "Reginald"

 * I found everyone talking nervously and feverishly of the weather and the war in South Africa, except Reginald, who was reclining in a comfortable chair with the dreamy, far-away look that a volcano might wear just after it had desolated entire villages.
 * "Reginald"

 * It is an admitted fact that the ordinary tomtit of commerce has a sounder aesthetic taste than the average female relative in the country.
 * "Reginald on Christmas Presents"

 * I am not collecting copies of the cheaper editions of Omar Khayyám. I gave the last four that I received to the lift-boy, and I like to think of him reading them, with FitzGerald's notes, to his aged mother. Lift-boys always have aged mothers; shows such nice feeling on their part, I think.
 * "Reginald on Christmas Presents"

 * To die before being painted by Sargent is to go to Heaven prematurely.
 * "Reginald on the Academy"

 * You can't expect the fatted calf to share the enthusiasm of the angels over the prodigal's return.
 * "Reginald on the Academy"

 * "To have reached thirty," said Reginald, "is to have failed in life."
 * "Reginald on the Academy"

 * The fashion just now is a Roman Catholic frame of mind with an Agnostic conscience: you get the mediaeval picturesqueness of the one with the modern conveniences of the other.
 * "Reginald at the Theatre"

 * "Which reminds me of the man I read of in some sacred book who was given a choice of what he most desired. And because he didn't ask for titles and honours and dignities, but only for immense wealth, these other things came to him also." "I am sure you didn't read about him in any sacred book." "Yes; I fancy you will find him in Debrett."
 * "Reginald at the Theatre"

 * Mother, may I go and maffick, Tear around and hinder traffic?
 * "Reginald's Peace Poem"

 * And the sleeper, eye unlidding, Heard a voice for ever bidding Much farewell to Dolly Gray; Turning weary on his truckle- Bed he heard the honey-suckle Lauded in apiarian lay.
 * "Reginald's Peace Poem"

 * Reginald, in his way, was a pioneer. None of the rest of his family had anything approaching Titian hair or a sense of humour, and they used primroses as a table decoration. It follows that they never understood Reginald, who came down late to breakfast, and nibbled toast, and said disrespectful things about the universe. The family ate porridge, and believed in everything, even the weather forecast.
 * "Reginald's Choir Treat"

 * And like every woman who has ever preached repentance to unregenerate youth, she dwelt on the sin of an empty life, which always seems so much more scandalous in the country, where people rise early to see if a new strawberry has happened during the night.
 * "Reginald's Choir Treat"

 * I always say beauty is only sin deep.
 * "Reginald's Choir Treat"

 * I think she must have been very strictly brought up, she's so desperately anxious to do the wrong thing correctly.
 * "Reginald on Worries"

 * And they tried to rag me in the smoking room about not being able to hit a bird at five yards, a sort of bovine ragging that suggested cows buzzing round a gadfly and thinking they were teasing it. So I got up the next morning at early dawn – I know it was dawn, because there were lark-noises in the sky, and the grass looked as if it had been left out all night.
 * "Reginald on House-Parties"

 * Think how many blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretions of other people.
 * "Reginald at the Carlton"

 * The revenge of an elder sister may be long in coming, but, like a South-Eastern express, it arrives in its own good time.
 * "Reginald on Besetting Sins"

 * Children are given us to discourage our better emotions.
 * "Reginald on Besetting Sins"

 * Madame was not best pleased at being contradicted on a professional matter, and when Madame lost her temper you usually found it afterwards in the bill.
 * "Reginald on Besetting Sins"

 * The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go she went.
 * "Reginald on Besetting Sins"

 * Women and elephants never forget an injury.
 * "Reginald on Besetting Sins"

 * Reginald closed his eyes with the elaborate weariness of one who has rather nice eyelashes and thinks it useless to conceal the fact.
 * "Reginald's Drama"

 * It occurred to me that I would like to be a poet. The chief qualification, I understand is that you must be born. Well, I hunted up my birth certificate, and found that I was all right on that score.
 * "Reginald's Rubaiyat"

 * People talk vaguely about the innocence of a little child, but they take mighty good care not to let it out of their sight for twenty minutes.
 * "The Innocence of Reginald"

 * I might have been a goldfish in a glass bowl for all the privacy I got.
 * "The Innocence of Reginald"

Reginald in Russia (1910)

 * Reginald sat in a corner of the Princess's salon and tried to forgive the furniture, which started out with an obvious intention of being Louis Quinze, but relapsed at frequent intervals into Wilhelm II.
 * "Reginald in Russia"

 * Temptations came to him, in middle age, tentatively and without insistence, like a neglected butcher-boy who asks for a Christmas box in February for no more hopeful reason than that he didn't get one in December.
 * "The Reticence of Lady Anne"

 * The Western custom of one wife and hardly any mistress.
 * "A Young Turkish Catastrophe"

 * The death of John Pennington had left his widow in circumstances which were more straitened than ever, and the Park had receded even from her notepaper, where it had long been retained as a courtesy title on the principle that addresses are given to us to conceal our whereabouts.
 * "Cross Currents"

 * But, good gracious, you've got to educate him first. You can't expect a boy to be vicious till he's been to a good school.
 * "The Baker's Dozen"

The Chronicles of Clovis (1911)

 * Poverty keeps together more homes than it breaks up.
 * "Esmé"

 * You needn't tell me that a man who doesn't love oysters and asparagus and good wines has got a soul, or a stomach either. He's simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed.
 * "The Match-Maker"

 * "I think oysters are more beautiful than any religion," [Clovis] resumed presently. "They not only forgive our unkindness to them; they justify it, they incite us to go on being perfectly horrid to them. Once they arrive at the supper-table they seem to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the thing. There's nothing in Christianity or Buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster."
 * "The Match-Maker"

 * All decent people live beyond their incomes nowadays, and those who aren't respectable live beyond other people's. A few gifted individuals manage to do both.
 * "The Match Maker"

 * You evidently feel that brevity is the soul of widowhood.
 * "The Match Maker"

 * Eleanor hated boys, and she would have liked to have whipped this one long and often. It was perhaps the yearning of a woman who had no children of her own.
 * "The Jesting of Arlington Stringham"

 * The people of Crete unfortunately make more history than they can consume locally.
 * "The Jesting of Arlington Stringham"

 * Sredni Vashtar went forth, His thoughts were red thoughts and his teeth were white. His enemies called for peace, but he brought them death. Sredni Vashtar the Beautiful.
 * "Sredni Vashtar"

 * I love Americans, but not when they try to talk French. What a blessing it is that they never try to talk English.
 * "Adrian"

 * By insisting on having your bottle pointing to the north when the cork is being drawn, and calling the waiter Max, you may induce an impression on your guests which hours of laboured boasting might be powerless to achieve. For this purpose, however, the guests must be chosen as carefully as the wine.
 * "The Chaplet"

 * Whenever a massacre of Armenians is reported from Asia Minor, every one assumes that it has been carried out "under orders" from somewhere or another; no one seems to think that there are people who might like to kill their neighbours now and then.
 * "Filboid Studge, the Story of a Mouse That Helped"

 * Mrs. Troyle paused again, with the self-applauding air of one who has detected an asp lurking in an apple-charlotte.
 * "The Secret Sin of Septimus Brope"

 * His socks compelled one's attention without losing one's respect.
 * "Ministers of Grace"

 * I came here to get freedom from the inane interruptions of the mentally deficient, but it seems I asked too much of fate.
 * "The Recessional"

Beasts and Super-Beasts (1914)

 * Romance at short notice was her speciality.
 * "The Open Window"

 * A beautifully constructed borsch, such as you are going to experience presently, ought not only to banish conversation but almost to annihilate thought.
 * "The Blind Spot"

 * Sophie Chattel-Monkheim was a Socialist by conviction and a Chattel-Monkheim by marriage.
 * "The Byzantine Omelette"

 * Waldo is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.
 * "The Feast of Nemesis"

 * Cyprian was a boy who carried with him through early life the wondering look of a dreamer, the eyes of one who sees things that are not visible to ordinary mortals, and invests the commonplace things of this world with qualities unsuspected by plainer folk – the eyes of a poet or a house agent.
 * "The Dreamer"

 * The sacrifices of friendship were beautiful in her eyes as long as she was not asked to make them.
 * "Fur"

 * To be among people who are smothered in furs when one hasn't any oneself makes one want to break most of the Commandments.
 * "Fur"

The Square Egg (1924)

 * The animal which the Egyptians worshipped as divine, which the Romans venerated as a symbol of liberty, which Europeans in the ignorant Middle Ages anathematised as an agent of demonology, has displayed to all ages two closely blended characteristics — courage and self-respect. No matter how unfavourable the circumstances, both qualities are always to the fore. Confront a child, a puppy, and a kitten with a sudden danger; the child will turn instinctively for assistance, the puppy will grovel in abject submission to the impending visitation, the kitten will brace its tiny body for a frantic resistance. And disassociate the luxury-loving cat from the atmosphere of social comfort in which it usually contrives to move, and observe it critically under the adverse conditions of civilisation — that civilisation which can impel a man to the degradation of clothing himself in tawdry ribald garments and capering mountebank dances in the streets for the earning of the few coins that keep him on the respectable, or non-criminal, side of society. The cat of the slums and alleys, starved, outcast, harried, still keeps amid the prowlings of its adversity the bold, free, panther-tread with which it paced of yore the temple courts of Thebes, still displays the self-reliant watchfulness which man has never taught it to lay aside.
 * "The Achievement of the Cat"

 * A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanation.
 * "Clovis on the Alleged Romance of Business"

Quotes about Saki

 * If only Saki – the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro – were still alive. The age of Trump needs his brutal dismantling of human stupidities. Despite a coterie of literary fans, Saki’s icy, perfectly constructed short stories have been relatively little read over the past 50 years – years of smug belief in endless progress — but his tales, by turns malevolent and macabre, may be due a revival in our new age of exigency. … He was a glorious pyromaniac let loose in the genteel upper-middle-class Edwardian world he knew so well. In many of his stories, stuffy authority figures are set against forces of nature – polecats, hyenas, tigers. Even if they are not eaten, the humans rarely have the best of it.
 * Stephen Moss, in "Why Saki's stories are due a revival", The Guardian (14 November 2016)

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

Henry Martyn Robert

General Henry M. Robert (May 2, 1837 – May 11, 1923) was a Brigadier General in the United States Army. He was the author of Robert's Rules of Order, which became the most widely used manual of parliamentary procedure and remains today the most common parliamentary authority in the United States.

Quotes

 * Where there is no law, but every man does what is right in his own eyes, there is the least of real liberty.
 * Robert's Rules of Order Revised, 1915, preface

Tiktaalik

Tiktaalik is a monospecific genus of extinct sarcopterygian (lobe-finned fish) from the late Devonian period, with many features akin to those of tetrapods (four-legged animals). The Tiktaalik is understood as representative of the evolutionary transition from fish to amphibians. It is an example from several lines of ancient sarcopterygian fish developing adaptations to the oxygen-poor shallow-water habitats of its time, which led to the evolution of tetrapods.

Quotes

 * Our emergence on to the land is one of the more significant rites of passage in our evolutionary history, and Tiktaalik is an important link in the story.
 * Richard Dawkins sourced trom The Guardian's article on Tiktaalik roseae

 * This is a fossil that blurs the distinction between fish and land-living animal because when you look at it, it has bits and pieces of its anatomy that are like a fish and whole bits and pieces of its anatomy that are like a land-living animal
 * Neil Shubin sourced from Toronto Sun article on Tiktaalik roseae

 * Tiktaalik blurs the boundary between fish and land animals. This animal is both fish and tetrapod; we lovingly call it a 'fishapod.'
 * Neil Shubin sourced from Scientific American article

 * When we took the fin of Tiktaalik apart, we found something truly remarkable: all the joint surfaces were extremely well preserved. Tiktaalik has a shoulder, elbow and wrist composed of the same bones as an upper arm, forearm and wrist in a human.
 * Neil Shubin - Your Inner Fish (2008)

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable, precise and verifiable source for any quote on this list please move it to Charles de Montesquieu. --Antiquary 09:22, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Happy the people whose annals are tiresome.

(NOTE: This quote is attributed to Montesquieu by Thomas Carlyle in The French Revolution: a History (1837). The reference is found at the beginning of Book II, Chapter 1, wherein Carlyle writes, "A paradoxical philosopher, carrying to the uttermost length that aphorism of Montesquieu's, 'Happy the people whose annals are tiresome,' has said, 'Happy the people whose annals are vacant.'") 2601:14B:4480:70:DC1C:F5A6:F1E8:A6DE 00:37, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

 * When two nations come into contact with one another, they can either fight or trade. If they fight, both lose; if they trade both gain.

 * Financiers support the state as the rope supports the hanged man.

Two quotes from Pensees (Kindle Edition) by Montesquieu, Basil Gentleman (trans)

 * What is not useful to the swarm is not useful to the bee.
 * My Thoughts, Basil Gentleman, trans. (2013)
 * Love for the successor is nothing but hatred for the predecessor.
 * My Thoughts, Basil Gentleman, trans. (2013)

These quotes are temporary removed because: Some improvements are needed here, before one or both quotes can be added back. -- Mdd (talk) 09:43, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) The first quote is attributed to, see The New World Vol. 3, (1894), p. 119
 * 2) The book title, according to Amazon.com is "Pensee" and not "My thought"
 * 3) Also, a preview of this work on Amazon shows that the second quote is the first mentioned
 * 4) This is listed at Amazon as "Kindle Edition", whatever this means.

Disputed: "power [...] check to power"
Under the heading "Disputed", the quote "Power ought to serve as a check to power" as quoted in Hostile Takeover (2004) by S. Andrew Swann, is said to not have been located in Montesquieu's works, although a reference to De l'Esprit des Lois Book V Chapter 14 is given, which alludes to a similar concept in completely different words. However, earlier on the same page, the quote from Swann is reported almost exactly to have been given in De l'Esprit des Lois Book XI Chapter 4: "[To prevent this abuse, it is necessary from the very nature of things that] power should be a check to power."

Therefore, it is an error for this quote to be disputed; the correct source is known. 73.53.61.168 14:15, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Who said something like this quote? "Man will never be free until the last King has been hung by the entrails from the last Priest." I thought I ran across in it Edward Abbey's journals "Confessions of a Barbarian", but I can't find it. I think the story was that when he was editor of the school newspaper at University of New Mexico, he (Abbey) attributed the quote to Lousia May Alcott, but that it was really Voltaire. I can't find it anywhere, so far...

John Garland Pollard

John Garland Pollard (August 4, 1871 – April 28, 1937) was a Virginia lawyer and American Democratic politician, who served as the 21st Attorney General of Virginia (1914-1918) and as the 51st Governor of Virginia (1930 to 1934), as well as on the Federal Trade Commission (1919-1921) and as chairman of the Board of Veterans Appeals (1934-1937).

Misattributed

 * Worry: Interest we pay on trouble before it is due.
 * Although this appears in Pollard's Connotary in 1932, the aphorism was already in general circulation decades earlier, e.g., it features in an advertisement in The Grape Belt, 2 October 1906, p. 5. It is also widely misattributed to Dean Inge.

Midnight Run is a 1988 Canadian-American action-comedy film about an accountant who is chased by bounty hunters, the F.B.I., and the Mafia after jumping bail.
 * Directed by Martin Brest. Written by George Gallo.

Jonathan Mardukas

Marvin Dorfler

 * Jack, nothing personal, but fuck off.

Jimmy Serrano

 * Is this moron number one? Put moron number two on the phone.

 * So I'm finally in the presence of greatness, huh? The Duke. The guy that steals money from the scum of the earth and gives it to the unfortunates of the world. I wanted to meet you face-to-face. Did you actually think you were gonna steal my money and get away with it? I stopped by here to tell you two things. Number one is that you're gonna die tonight. Number two, I'm gonna go home, have a nice hot meal, I'm gonna find your wife, and I'm gonna kill her too.

 * Let me tell you two stupid motherfuckers something. I don't want to get another phone call like this because if I do I'm gonna get on a fucking plane and I'm going to blowtorch the both of you. You understand?

Dialogue

 * Jack Walsh: Where am I? I'm in Boise, Idaho. No, no, no, wait a minute, I'm in Anchorage, Alaska. No, no, wait, I'm in Casper, Wyoming. I'm in the lobby of a Howard Johnson's and I'm wearing a pink carnation.
 * Eddie Moscone: What the fuck are you talking about?
 * Jack Walsh: I am not talking to you, I am talking to the other guys.
 * Eddie Moscone: What other guys?
 * Jack Walsh: Well, let me describe the scene to you. There are these guys, see? They've probably been up for like two days. They stink of B.O., they have coffee breath, they're constipated from sittin' on their asses for so long, they're sitting in a van, and they're probably parked right up the street from your office, Eddie. YOUR PHONE IS TAPPED!

 * Jonathan Mardukas: I got money, y'know.
 * Jack Walsh: I'm sure you do.
 * Jonathan Mardukas: I'll give you whatever you want.

 * Jonathan Mardukas: I'm sorry you're hurt.
 * Jack Walsh: I'm not hurt.
 * Jonathan Mardukas: You just said you were hurt.
 * Jack Walsh: I'm not hurt.
 * Jonathan Mardukas: You just said you were hurt!
 * Jack Walsh: I didn't say I was hurt, YOU said I was hurt.
 * Jonathan Mardukas: I asked you if you were hurt and you said "Yeah, I'm hurt."
 * Jack Walsh: That's because you made me say it. Startin' to put words in my mouth.
 * Jonathan Mardukas: Jack, you're a grown man. You're in control of your own words.
 * Jack Walsh: You're goddamn right I am. Now here come two words for you: Shut the fuck up.

 * Jack Walsh: I can't keep you cuffed on a commercial flight, and I gotta check my gun with my luggage, but you fuck with me once and I'm gonna break your neck.
 * Jonathan Mardukas: I can't fly.
 * Jack Walsh: What?
 * Jonathan Mardukas: You heard me, I can't fly.
 * Jack Walsh: No, no, no. You're going to have to do better than that, pal.
 * Jonathan Mardukas: No, I don't have to do better than that, because it's the truth, I can't fly: I suffer from aviaphobia.
 * Jack Walsh: What does that mean?
 * Jonathan Mardukas: It means I can't fly. I also suffer from acrophobia and claustrophobia.
 * Jack Walsh: I'll tell you what: if you don't cooperate, you're gonna suffer from "fistophobia".

 * Jack Walsh: I know my rights. You owe me phone calls.
 * Alonzo Mosely: What should be of paramount importance to you right now is not the phone calls. It's the fact that you're gonna spend ten years for impersonating a federal agent.
 * Jack Walsh: Ten years for impersonating a fed, huh?
 * Alonzo Mosely: Ten years.
 * Jack Walsh: How comes no one's after you?

 * Alonzo Mosely: Let me tell you something, asshole. I've been working on this Jimmy Serrano thing for about six years; Mardukas is my shot. I'm gonna bring him into federal court, and I don't want any third-rate rent-a-thug who couldn't cut it as a cop in Chicago bringing him to LA on some bullshit local charge. Do I make myself understood?
 * Jack Walsh: Can I ask you something? These sunglasses, they're really nice: are they government-issued, or all you guys go to the same store to get them?

 * Jonathan Mardukas: You lied to me first!
 * Jack Walsh: What the - -YOU LIED TO ME FIRST!
 * Jonathan Mardukas: Yes! Yes. But you didn't know I was lying to you when you lied to me down by the river. So as far as you knew, you lied to me first!
 * Jack Walsh: How can I argue with this guy? I don't know what the fuck he's talking about.

 * Jonathan Mardukas: Come on, cigarettes are killers.
 * Jack Walsh: So are women.

 * Jack Walsh: [In a payphone talking to Eddie Moscone] We are driving now, and I only have enough cash to get to Amarillo. We had to scrap the bus.
 * Eddie Moscone: Fuck the bus! I wanna know what happened to the goddamn plane!
 * Jack Walsh: He doesn't like to fly.
 * Eddie Moscone: He doesn't like to fly?! What the fuck does that mean?! Listen to me, Jack! You gotta be back here in less than two and a half fuckin' days! A half $1,000,000 of my money, what the fuck is goin' on there?!!
 * Jack Walsh: Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, I swear to God, don't start with me now or I will shoot him and I will dump him in a fuckin' swamp! [vigorously shakes his head at Mardukas]

 * The Duke: How much are you getting for me?
 * Jack Walsh: I don't think that's any of your concern, but I'll tell you, just... to tell you. $100,000.
 * The Duke: $100,000? Does that mean you'll take $100,000 to let me go?
 * Jack Walsh: Not by a long shot.
 * The Duke: $200,000?
 * Jack Walsh: I never took a payoff in my life, and I'm not gonna start with someone like you.
 * The Duke: Why not?
 * Jack Walsh: Because you're a fucking criminal, and you deserve to go where you're going. I'm gonna take you there. And if I hear any more shit outta you, I'm gonna fucking bust your head, and I'm gonna put you back in that fucking hole, and I'm gonna stick your head in that fucking toilet bowl and I'm gonna make it stay there.

 * Jack Walsh: Jimmy. There's something I've been wanting to say to you for ten years.
 * Jimmy Serrano: Yeah, and what's that!?
 * Jack Walsh: [smiling] You're under arrest!

 * Jimmy Serrano: I thought you said this guy was gonna be on the plane.
 * Tony Darvo: That's the information we got.
 * Jimmy Serrano: "That's the information we got." I'm gonna tell you something. I want this guy taken out, and I want him taken out fast. You and that other dummy better start getting more personally involved in your work, or I'm gonna stab you through the heart with a fucking pencil. You understand?

 * [Jack arrives at Los Angeles before the deadline with Mardukas in custody, and calls Eddie on a pay phone]
 * Jack Walsh: Guess who I'm with? I'm with the Duke.
 * Eddie Moscone: Where the hell are you?
 * Jack Walsh: Where am I? I'm at the airport. And guess who I'm with? I'm with the Duke!

Introduction à l'Étude de la Médecine Expérimentale (1865)
An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine, trans. Henry Copley Green (New York: Henry Schuman, Inc., 1949)
 * Considered in itself, the experimental method is nothing but reasoning by whose help we methodically submit our ideas to experience,—the experience of facts.
 * Preface, p. 2

 * [T]he science of life […] is a superb and dazzlingly lighted hall which may be reached only by passing through a long and ghastly kitchen.
 * Part I, Ch. I, p. 15

 * In sciences of observation, man observes and reasons experimentally, but he does not experiment; and in this sense we might say that a science of observation is a passive science. In sciences of experimentation, man observes, but in addition he acts on matter, analyzes its properties and to his own advantage brings about the appearance of phenomena which doubtless always occur according to natural laws, but in conditions which nature often has not yet achieved. With the help of these active experimental sciences, man becomes an inventor of phenomena, a real foreman of creation: and under this head we cannot set limits to the power that he may gain over nature through future progress in the experimental sciences.
 * Part I, Ch. I, p. 18

 * Men who have excessive faith in their theories or ideas are not only ill prepared for making discoveries; they also make very poor observations.
 * Part I, Ch. II, p. 38

 * [T]hey make poor observations, because they choose among the results of their experiments only what suits their object, neglecting whatever is unrelated to it, and carefully setting aside everything which might tend toward the idea they wish to combat.
 * Part I, Ch. II, p. 38

 * [T]he experimental method draws from within itself an impersonal authority which dominates science. It forces this authority even on great men.[…] Every period has its own sum total of errors and of truths. Certain mistakes are, in a sense, inherent in their period, so that only the subsequent progress of science can reveal them.… [T]he further science advances, the more it takes an impersonal form and detaches itself from the past.
 * Part I, Ch. II, p. 42

 * A contemporary poet has characterized this sense of the personality of art and of the impersonality of science in these words,—"Art is myself, science is ourselves."
 * Part I, Ch. II, p. 43
 * Bernard's aphorism (alternate translation: "Art is I, science is we") is actually a creative paraphrase of a longish passage in Victor Hugo's William Shakespeare (1864), Book III, Ch. IV. See in the English translation (London: George Routledge & Sons, Limited, 1910), pp. 82–83.

 * [I]t is important to determine at what point to apply doubt, so as to distinguish it from scepticism, and to show how scientific doubt becomes an element of the greatest certainty. The sceptic disbelieves in science and believes in himself; he believes enough in himself to dare deny science and to assert that it is not subject to definite, fixed laws. The doubter is a true man of science; he doubts only himself and his interpretations, but he believes in science; in the experimental sciences, he even accepts a criterion of absolute scientific principle.
 * Part I, Ch. II, p. 52

 * Indeed, proof that a given condition always precedes or accompanies a phenomenon does not warrant concluding with certainty that a given condition is the immediate cause of that phenomenon. It must still be established that, when this condition is removed, the phenomenon will no longer appear.
 * Part I, Ch. II, p. 55

 * [A] living organism is nothing but a wonderful machine.
 * Part II, Ch. I, p. 63

 * [S]cience, in humbling our pride, proportionately increases our power.
 * Part II, Ch. I, p. 82
 * Alternate translation: Science increases our power in proportion as it lowers our pride.

 * [P]articular facts are never scientific; only generalization can establish science.
 * Part II, Ch. II, p. 91

 * A great surgeon performs operations for stone by a single method; later he makes a statistical summary of deaths and recoveries, and he concludes from these statistics that the mortality law for this operation is two out of five. Well, I say that this ratio means literally nothing scientifically and gives us no certainty in performing the next operation; for we do not know whether the next case will be among the recoveries or the deaths. What really should be done, instead of gathering facts empirically, is to study them more accurately, each in its special determinism. We must study cases of death with great care and try to discover in them the cause of mortal accidents so as to master the cause and avoid the accidents.
 * Part II, Ch. II, p. 137

 * When we meet a fact which contradicts a prevailing theory, we must accept the fact and abandon the theory, even when the theory is supported by great names and generally accepted.
 * Part III, Ch. I, p. 164

 * [T]heories are only hypotheses, verified by more or less numerous facts. Those verified by the most facts are the best; but even then they are never final, never to be absolutely believed.
 * Part III, Ch. I, p. 165

 * Our language, in fact, is only approximate, and even in science it is so indefinite that if we lose sight of phenomena and cling to words, we are speedily outside of reality.… [W]e must always cling to phenomena and see in words only expressions empty of meaning, if the phenomena they represent are not definite, or if they are absent.
 * Part III, Ch. II, p. 188

 * Ardent desire for knowledge, in fact, is the one motive attracting and supporting investigators in their efforts; and just this knowledge, really grasped and yet always flying before them, becomes at once their sole torment and sole happiness.… [A] man of science rises ever, in seeking truth; and if he never finds it in its wholeness, he discovers nevertheless very significant fragments; and these fragments of universal truth are precisely what constitutes science.
 * Part III, Ch. IV, pp. 221–222

Bulletin of New York Academy of Medicine, Vol. IV (1928)

 * True science teaches us to doubt and to abstain from ignorance.

 * Science increases our power in proportion as it lowers our pride.

 * If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.

 * A modern poet has characterized the personality of art and the impersonality of science as follows: Art is I: Science is We.

 * Man can learn nothing unless he proceeds from the known to the unknown.

 * We must never make experiments to confirm our ideas, but simply to control them.

Abandon (film)

Abandon is a 2002 film about a college student trying to deal with a police investigation into her boyfriend's disappearance while also preparing for life after graduation.

Embry Larkin

 * You have no grace.

 * Sopranos, this piece was written by monks who believed in God. They're singing not to other monks but to God. They're singing about God to God. And you think I'm a tough audience.
 * This is the spirit dissolving in the music carrying up to God. Open up and let her rip. Don't perform... create. Say, 'Muse, I hate you, but I hate you on my knees.' Scream, 'I am the infantile center of the goddamn universe!' Everyone!

 * I go away for a while a look what happens. You let the whole place fall apart.

 * I won't make stupid threats but your not gonna run away with this guy because wherever you go, I can follow you.... even if it's to the woods in New Hampshire.

 * Why won't you yell....Come on I dare you.

Samantha Harper

 * They want Vietnamese orphans... and engineers. God, why wasn't I born a Vietnamese orphan?

 * I'll have a double order of escape fantasy and a side order of running away.

Dialogue

 * Male Interviewer: Tell us about a problem you've encountered.
 * Katie: My guidance counselor tried to keep me from applying to good schools. I thought she was my friend. She said she understood me and that I would be happier staying close to home, junior college or secretarial school. She hated me.
 * Male Interviewer: What action did you take?
 * Katie: I invited a senator who attended college here to speak at our school.
 * Male Interviewer: And what was the result?
 * Katie: I got a strong letter of recommendation from a U.S. Senator, was accepted early decision and they gave me lots of financial aid.
 * Male Interviewer: And what did you learn from this experience?
 * Katie: Truthfully?
 * Male Interviewer: Of course.
 * Katie: Mrs. Castleman was a sneaky bitch. It was the first time I was betrayed by someone I trusted. I looked up to her. I didn't come close to understanding the depth to which she resented me. I learned that people who help me, who invest in me become my partners, and my success is their success that relationships are symbiotic. I learned responsibility based on others' faith in me. I hope to be able to pay some dividends to those investors.

 * Female Interviewer: How many pennies do you think it would take to fill this room?
 * Katie: With or without us in it?

 * Amanda: Word is, you slaughtered it. I talked to Brian whose brother dates that cold fish, Susan. Did you really call some lady a bitch?
 * Katie: Slight exaggeration.
 * Amanda: Yeah, they saw sixty people and liked exactly two - you and a North Korean girl who speaks eight languages.
 * Katie: They said that?

 * Katie: Do you know where Harrison is?
 * Embry: The tree hugger? I don't really keep tabs on him
 * Katie: Have you seen him lately?
 * Embry: Wouldn't you like to know?
 * Katie: You piss me off like nobody else, you know that?
 * Embry: Yeah?
 * Katie: Yeah.
 * Embry: What are you gonna do about it, I want you to come away with me to the country house.
 * Katie: Where is Harrison?
 * Embry: I'll tell you at the country house.

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 Mox. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mox~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 23:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 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.
