Old School

Old School is a 2003 comedy about three men who become disenchanted with their lives and try to recapture their college days.
 * Directed by Todd Phillips and written by Todd Phillips and Scot Armstrong.

All the fun of college, none of the education. Taglines

Mitch Martin

 * True love is hard to find. Sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show, ready to double-team your girlfriend...
 * At this point, you might be asking yourself, "Why am I holding this 30-pound cinder block in my hands?" You might also ask yourself, "Why does this cinder block have a long piece of string tied to it?" And finally, "Why is the other end of this string tied securely to your penis?"
 * All I want to do is get some fucking sleep.
 * This is my house. I live here, Beanie. I'm 30 years old. None of us are enrolled in the college.
 * Ah Denver, The sunshine state... Denver?! Gorgeous!

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard

 * [Leaving a message] I'll be in the neighborhood later on, and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get some frozen yogurt, or perhaps a whole meal of food, if that would be agreeable. Dammit. [Calls back] This is Frank Ricard...
 * You know I was thinking we could go back home...have some dinner and pop in the Sisqo CD...no? Weren't thinking that? Ok.
 * So what do you guys like better? Nurse or cheerleader? Oh, hi Nicole. Have fun at the wedding?
 * Thanks, she's OK
 * That's how you do it. That's how you debate.
 * All we are is dust in the wind...
 * [Voiceover.] Dear Mitch, if you're holding this letter you already know. The house has been boarded up. The doors. The windows. Everything. We're at the Comfort Inn. Room 112. I love you. Frank
 * Blue's over there. But he's wasted.
 * [Trying to talk over party noise.] Actually pretty nice little Saturday. We're going to Home Depot. Yeah buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed Bath and Beyond... I don't know! I don't know if we'll have enough time!
 * [Funnels a beer.] Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it's so good!
 * Don't worry. The pledges will clean it up.
 * No it's cool man, bring your green hat! We're going streaking!
 * [Sitting naked in the car.] Hey honey! Do you think KFC is still open?
 * In this corner, weighing in at 110 pounds and pushing 89 years of age and the recent recipient of a brand new plastic hip, Joseph "Blue" Polaski.
 * [Shot in neck with tranquilizer dart, voice morphs into slow motion.] You're crazy, man. I like you, but you're crazy.
 * I'm back! [Kicks a woman's shopping cart.] You know it!
 * Blue, do you understand I dont want you to die here tonight?
 * YOU'RE MA BOY BLUE!...You're Ma Boy!
 * I'm so cold...I think I see Blue! He looks glorious.
 * SNOOP!! SNOOP-A-LOOP!!! [upon seeing rapper Snoop Dogg perform at the fraternity party]
 * No, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool...bring-bring your green hat, let's go! [at the same party, to one of Snoop's entourage wearing a green hat]
 * Were GOIN STREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bernard 'Beanie' Campbell

 * Because this is a very big idea my friends. We're talking about a non-exclusive egalitarian brotherhood where community status and more importantly age have no bearing whatsoever.
 * What we need to do is throw a big kick off, kick ass party.
 * Max, can you earmuff for me? We are going to get so much ass here, it's going to be sick. I'm talking like crazy boy band ass.
 * I have a wife and kids. Do I seem like a happy guy to you, Frankie?
 * Alright, let me be the first to say congratulations to you man; you have one vagina for the rest of your life. Real smart Frankie. Way to think it through.
 * Well, why don't you give me your number in case anything happens to my wife.
 * [to Frank's father in law] It takes a man to give away an angel. Your sweetheart. [wink]
 * I know a really good sand guy.
 * Yeah, that's it. I got a student alt rock band coming on next. Mitch, I own six speaker cities. I am worth three a half million dollars that the government knows about, and I can barely read. I can't. I got more electronics up there than a damn KISS concert. You think I'm gonna roll out this type of red carpet for a fucking marching band? Just make sure you can see the stage.
 * I'd like to welcome you all to the Mitch Martin Freedom Festival. Now for those of you who don't know who Mitch Martin is, he's the very successful, very disease-free gentleman standing by the mini bar. Now, courtesy of Speaker City, which is slashing prices on everything from beepers to DVD players, give a warm Harrison welcome to my pal and your favorite, Snoop Dogg.
 * Frank here was staring at a white picket fence. Now he's single, he's broke, and has second degree burns all over his body. And I see a spark in his eye that I haven't seen in fifteen years.
 * Six weeks ago Abdul here had a one way ticket to an arranged marriage with a broad he never met in Bangladesh. Now he's crushing ass every Thursday night at our mixers.
 * You think I like avoiding my wife and kids to hang out with nineteen year old girls everyday?
 * He's playing hardball. And I got to admit. I'm impressed.
 * Guys this is a very special occasion. The Godfather himself has decided to grace us with his presence. This is his damn house. He sleeps twenty feet away.
 * Don't say sorry to me. You let down Frank. You let down me. Most importantly you let down Max. And right about now I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why I take time out of my schedule to help you get over... [to Max] Max can you earmuff it for me? [to Mitch] That whore you dated.
 * That party that we had last night has given us a lot of street cred.
 * What about Mitch here? He saw the wheels come off his life, guys. His whole world crumbled. Now he's the Godfather.
 * Don't beat yourself up over this, Mitch. It's not your fault. Dammit, Blue was old. That's what old people do. They die.
 * Good luck to everybody. Nice to know you all and I'll see you around campus.
 * Mitch is a lawyer, buddy. He'll find a way out for us.
 * You're the lady, Marissa! High five.
 * No. That's a piece of crap. What? We stopped selling that six months ago. Lotta Complaints, nice gesture though, I think.
 * [While performing the iron cross and smoking a cigarette] Still holding! STILL HOLDING!
 * Columbus wasn’t exactly looking for America, but that seemed to work out for everyone.

Garry, the Oral Sex Instructor

 * He left me with a little something called herpes. Which I then gave to the dog. But that's neither here nor there.
 * When I get back I'm going to show you something I like to call crouching tiger, hidden penis. [takes a drink of the water] You know I really liked that movie, 'cause of all the flying and the magic.
 * Oh, that's funny to you? You won't be laughing when someone prematurely pops in your face. It stings. And that is now why I have a lazy eye.
 * You can use a little teeth but we don't want to be a biter. Now ladies these carrots are not gonna ejaculate themselves. Get into it!
 * Ok ladies, the secret to a good BJ is focus. I don't care if we're talking about your husband of ten years or some hot sailor you met at TGI Fridays, who didn't call me back..
 * What are you doing? You're like Romulus sucking on the tit of the Motherwolf. If you know your Greek mythology.
 * Who's hungry? Who's hungry?

Others

 * Waiter: Love, it's a motherfucker, huh?
 * Waiter: And don't worry. For the Godfather, it's always on the house.
 * Waiter: You are beautiful. But no offense, he, he is the king. You are having coffee and pie with a living legend.
 * Wedding Singer: [singing] Fuckin' every now and then I fall apart and I need you now tonight. I fuckin' need you more than ever.
 * Mark: [to little girl] This is yesterday's paper. When are you going to use your goddamn brains for once in your life? Hello. What are you retarded?
 * Mark: [after being caught with another woman] What are you gonna do? Tell on me? You know you can't buddy. It's guy code. That's something chicks do. You're not a chick are you? Ok. Good talk. I'll see you out there.
 * Gordon Pritchard: Half these guys don't even go here and that one guy is like ninety.
 * Booker: We've been waiting all semester for you to ask us.
 * Dean Pritchard: I'm sorry is that funny? Are you a standup comic, is that what you do now? This is me leaving. This is me leaving.

Dialogue

 * Jerry: What will you have to do with the university?
 * Beanie: Legally speaking there will be a loose affiliation. But, we will give nothing back to the academic community. As well as provide no public service of any kind. This much I promise you.

 * Mitch: Who's this guy?
 * Beanie: Oh, that's Blue. He's an old navy vet who hangs around my store a lot. Don't worry about him, he's legit.
 * Mitch: He looks like he's one hundred years old and he wants to pledge?
 * Beanie: You kidding me? Old man river can't shut up about it.

 * Mitch: Sorry, your seatbelt seems to be broken. What do you recommend I do?
 * Cab Driver: I recommend you stop being such a faggot. You're in the backseat.

 * Woman: [holding a grocery bag] What are you doing?
 * Frank: You tell anyone about this and I'll fucking kill you. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, we'll have him home by midnight. [reaches into the grocery bag and takes out cheese balls]

 * Spanish: Damn, I gonna end up workin' at Red Lobster.
 * Frat Brother: You already work at Red Lobster.
 * Spanish: Yea, part time... dick.

 * Therapist: Frank, this is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of my office as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. We can say anything here.
 * Frank: Anything? Well, uh I guess I, deep down, am feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you get married, and you're supposed to be this entirely different guy. I don't feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for dinner, which was lovely. And uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I started thinking maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about. You know, and uh, and I started feeling... what? what I thought we were in the trust tree, in the nest, are we not?

 * Frank: I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time.
 * College Student: A big day? Doing what?
 * Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, get some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond,[then very excited] I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time!

 * Mitch: I've had a hell of a day and even worse week. And all I want to do is get some fucking sleep.
 * Beanie: I...I don't know why you gotta do it...in front of the kid, with the f'in. All you gotta do is say earmuffs to him, [to kid] "earmuffs", and you can say "fuck, shit, bitch"...whatever you want.
 * Frank: Cock. Balls.
 * Beanie: OK. I'm just proving a point. You don't have to celebrate it, Frank.

 * Frank: Blue, how come there's no ice in my lemonade?
 * [throws the lemonade into the pool]
 * Blue: Sorry, sir.
 * Frank: Drop down and give me ten. Now!
 * Blue: [bends down into a push-up position] Yes, sir.

 * [Two girls are topless in the pool of KY jelly, waiting to wrestle Blue]
 * Frank: Are you sure you're ok with this, Blue?
 * Blue: Just ring the fucking bell, you pansy.

 * Frank: BLUE! Do you trust that we have provided you with enough rope so that your cinder block will fall safely to the ground?
 * Blue: Y-Yes sir.
 * Frank: Blue do you trust that I do not want to see you die here tonight?
 * Blue: Yes sir.
 * Frank: Blue, you're my boy!
 * Blue: Thank you sir.

 * Weensie: [after learning he's going to be expelled] Listen, this is a serious situation. I mean, I'm kicked out of school. I don't know what I'm gonna do, man. My mom's gonna kill me.
 * Mitch: C'mon, she's not gonna kill you.
 * Weensie: Yes she is. See, I'm the first one to go to college in my family and when I left she said, "Weensie, if you screw this up, I'll kill you." She showed me the knife.

 * Mitch: [after catching Heidi with another man] Please be honest with me. Tell me this is the first time this has ever happened.
 * Heidi: Well, do you want me to be honest or do you want me to tell you this is the first time?

 * Man at door: Hello.
 * Mitch: Yeah?
 * Man at door: I'm here for the gangbang...

 * Frank: A little housewarming gift. To new beginnings.
 * Mitch: I actually gave this to you for your wedding.
 * Frank: This model?
 * Mitch: This exact one.
 * Frank: I'm sorry, I'm, I'm embarassed.
 * Mitch: I hope you like it.
 * Frank: I Love it... thank you.

 * Peppers: She's a beauty, ain't she?
 * Frank: Yeah, what kind of gun is this?
 * Peppers: That's a tranquilizer gun. If any of these little fuckers decide to freak out on the kids, I get to take them down. Ain't that right? [yanks on the mule's reigns] Oh, what? That's what I thought. Shut up.
 * [Frank cocks the gun]
 * Peppers: Hey, hey. Be careful with that. That's the most powerful tranq gun on the market. Got her in Mexico.
 * Frank: Cool.
 * Peppers: Yeah, it is cool. They say it can puncture the skin of a rhino from...
 * [Frank shoots himself in the neck with the dart]
 * Peppers: YES! That's awesome!
 * Frank: What?
 * Peppers: You just took one in the jugular, man.
 * Frank: What? I did? [feeling his neck]
 * Peppers: YES!
 * Frank: Oh my god. Is this bad? Is this bad?
 * Peppers: You better pull that shit out man. That shit is not cool.
 * Frank: Wait. Wait? Pull what out?
 * Peppers: You got a fucking dart in your neck man.
 * Frank: [laughing] You're... you're crazy man. I like you, but you're crazy.

 * Marissa: Listen, I'm sorry I didn't call you on your birthday.
 * Frank: My birthday? What do you mean?
 * Marissa: Yeah, last Thursday. Oh, you forgot your birthday, didn't you, Frank?
 * Frank: Damn it. I'm such an idiot.

 * Marissa: That's really, loud.
 * Frank: Yeah, thanks. Took the restrictor plate off, thought I'd give the Red Dragon a little more juice, but lets keep that on the downlow, she's not exactly street-legal  [waving to a neighbor] Hey Mike!

 * Beanie: Spanish what the hell are you doing?
 * Spanish: I'm just going to get some water. This suit is crazy hot, yo.
 * Beanie: Put your head back on. That can be very traumatic for the kids.
 * Spanish: You're right, I'm sorry, sir.
 * Beanie: Don't sorry me, babe. And shake the tail when you walk. You're better than that.

 * Jerry: That was great.
 * Frank: What happened? I blacked out.

 * Beanie: Girls love a guy who's in your situation.
 * Mitch: What situation?
 * Beanie: Mitch. You're on the rebound. You're like an injured young fawn who's been nursed back to health and is finally going to be released back into the wilderness.

 * Frank: Yea, I'm cool either way. I just have to run it by Marissa.
 * [Mitch and Beanie give him a weird look]
 * Frank: I'm messing with you guys.
 * Beanie: Not funny. Not funny. And now the baby is upset.

 * Marissa: Just as long as you promise to take it easy.
 * Frank: What do you mean?
 * Marissa: You know exactly what I mean. You've come along way since Frank the Tank and we don't want him coming back do we?
 * Frank: Honey, Frank the Tank is not coming back, ok? That part of me is over. Water under the bridge. I promise.

 * Mitch: I wasn't looking for a girl like that.
 * Beanie: Well Columbus wasn't looking for America my man, but that seems to have worked out for everybody didn't it?

 * Frank: I just wanna tell you guys thanks for being here. Best day ever.
 * Beanie: Frank, you need to walk away from this right now.

 * Mitch: A professor lived here for like thirty years and died.
 * Beanie: That's awesome.

 * Beanie: Don't say sorry to me, Frank. Say it to the baby.
 * Frank: Sorry, baby.

 * Mitch: So what are you? Campus security?
 * Dean Pritchard: Try again.
 * Beanie: Jehovah's Witness?
 * Dean Pritchard: I'm the Dean. Dean Pritchard.
 * Mitch: Wow. Cheese. Is that you?
 * Dean Pritchard: Hello, Mitch. Bernard. I see you guys haven't changed much.
 * Beanie: Who's this guy?
 * Mitch: Beanie, you remember Cheese, Rodney's kid brother?
 * Dean Pritchard: Actually, my name's not Cheese anymore. It's Gordon Pritchard.
 * Beanie: Oh yeah. Cheeeeeese. Yeah, didn't we lock you in a dumpster one time?
 * Dean Pritchard: Yea, I got out.
 * Beanie: Cool man. Good. Glad you did.
 * Beanie: Cool man. Good. Glad you did.

 * Beanie: Weensie, you're on lifeguard duty.
 * Weensie: Sir, I can't swim, sir.
 * Frank: Speak when spoken to.

 * Beanie: Whose life is ruined?
 * Mitch: Let's see. Blue's dead. Frank's divorced. I've lost my house. Nicole thinks I'm a total jackass. And we got nine kids who are gonna get expelled from school and you're not even gonna help them out.

 * Frank: I had an awesome time!
 * Beanie: Frank, I know that you had an awesome time. I think the entire town knows you had an awesome time. I'm trying to ask our friend Mitch if he had a good time.

 * Nicole: I heard one of your pledges died. Is that true?
 * Mitch: Well, yes but Blue was really old. And I feel pretty confident when we get the autopsy back it'll say natural causes.

 * Frank: Actually, I'd like to jump in and take that one, Jimmy, if you don't mind.
 * James Carville: Have at it, hoss.

 * Mitch: I see Frank's dad made it out, I haven't seen him in like eight years.
 * Frank: I love you dad.

 * Frank: Jerry, are you a statistics major or something?
 * Jerry: Actually I am. Minoring in Hebrew science.
 * Frank: Well, I didn't know that. Because you didn't tell me. Now I look like a jackass.

 * Beanie: Can you do me a favor and tell Mitch it's perfectly okay to have sex with a 17-year-old?
 * Lara Campbell: Oh, yeah. It's fine, if you're 18 or you live in Louisiana.

User talk:Hyad~enwikiquote

~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:49, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

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 Hyad. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hyad~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 23:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Women

First post from 2009 (2005?)
Why, oh why, do most of the quotations on this page seem horribly stereotypical and misogynistic...? Pounce (Talk) 20:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC) this a terrible page   so anti woman

I moved the following quote here. It is seem to be by an unnotable person. Please add it back if you disagree. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 08:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * "Women have something in common with the Universe. That is they are both constantly expanding with time." ~ Richard Dias-Wanigasekera

What a dispicable collection of quotations on women! I came to this site looking for inspiration and instead, was enraged. Surely some notable people out there, past and present, have something more intelligent and more respectable to say about the fairer sex than we are baby-making machines. Napoleon... go figure.

 * It is a fact of life that men, even the most enlightened and egalitarian among them, are woefully ignorant of how consistently and universally women are discriminated against merely because they are women.

 * It is equally true that woman are consistently and universally ignorant of the psychological advantages they have by being born women, potential mothers of the future.

 * The bigoted suppression of a woman's talents because she is a woman is as ultimately futile as attempts to win so called 'equality' with men: men and women will never be biologically 'equal' - so it is time to stop gender-stereotyping and start judging each and every human being on their own merits and abilities.

I am proudly and humbly a woman. Shir-El too 22:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

PS This should remain a separate catagory if male 'aviators' are differentiated from 'men'. Shir-El too 22:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Use of Quotes
I'm using these quotes for a history project and they fit right in with my topic. However, I'd suggest that they add some quotes from Jaqueline Cochran, the founder and director of the WASP organization. Some Nancy H. Love quotes might be nice also. I think that these quotes would help any project on this topic..quotes always do. Any project on women pilots could use quotes like these.

And, on the contrary, These quotes bring out the admirable qualities in women and their accomplishments. These women achieved something that had never been accomplished before, and, ultimately, helped future women gain the well-deserved liberties we have today. Which is an amazing and inspiring accomplishment.24.131.136.96 22:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Cleaned up
Cleaned up format - but I agree with previous posters that the current quote selection has an emphatically hostile bias. Gordonofcartoon 13:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced

Misattributed quote of the Buddha
In this entry, the Buddha is wrongly quoted as saying, "Women, with their two-fingered wisdom [i.e. stupid], have a difficult time [understanding what I teach]." This paraphrase is taken completely out of context, however. If one were to read the sutta in question (SN 5.2, Soma), one would see that this is a line from Mara (the Buddhist equivalent of the Devil) who, desiring to make a bhikkhuni named Soma 'fall away from concentration,' voices an ancient bias, saying:

"That state so hard to achieve Which is to be attained by the seers,

Can't be attained by a woman With her two-fingered wisdom"

But Soma's response shows not only her wisdom, but counters this bias by replying:

"What does womanhood matter at all

When the mind is concentrated well,

When knowledge flows on steadily

As one sees correctly into Dhamma.

One to whom it might occur,

'I'm a woman' or 'I'm a man'

Or 'I'm anything at all' —

Is fit for Mara to address."

A rejoinder that, in the words of Bhikkhu Bodhi, "is a forceful reminder that enlightenment does not depend on gender but on the mind's capacity for concentration and wisdom, qualities accessible to any human being who earnestly seeks to penetrate the truth" (Discourses of the Ancient Nuns). The sutta is actually saying the opposite of what this misattribution is implying.

Quotes requiring additional source information

 * Pleasure is like a food of the senses. Japanese women hunger for this food and seek to satisfy themselves by cultivating shunjo (sexuality)...They bring about the perils of weakening their body and mind and passing (their weakness) down hereditarily to their children. Although there are some that claim to be healthy, they are diseased...They suffer from hysterias, uterine illnesses, and neuroses...Women all over Japan will suffer from these traumas and pass down this peril to their children and descendants, preventing the development of our race.
 * On Japanese Women by Fukuzawa Yukichi

 * Because both man and woman have roles indispensable for life, without them the world cannot endure even a day. Their capabilities are about the same, but men are generally stronger than women. If a strong man fights a woman he will always win.
 * An Encouragement of Learning by Fukuzawa Yukichi

Z

 * Women hold up half the sky.
 * Mao Zedong

Merge Misogyny into Women
I recommend we merge both articles because:
 * These quotes about misogyny are all about women and just as there is no page specifically for racism, or racists, just race, we could consolidate these into a single page. The pages for circumcision features sections for pro, con and neutral quotations, while the page for drugs consolidates, education about, medical, legal, and philosophical views of into a single page making the quotes easier to find.
 * Maintaining separate pages for misogyny, women and female supremacy requires too much subjective categorization as to whether a quote ascribing X trait to women as a whole is misogynist or supremacist and none of the quotes specifically use either of those terms. CensoredScribe (talk) 03:27, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * On Wikipedia, Misogyny and Woman (to which "Women" redirects) are separate articles. BD2412 T 13:50, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment also of note, Wikipedia doesn't have a page for female supremacy but does have pages for both patriarchy and feminism, feminism is defined as advocacy for gains for men in society, while with matriarchy women are in control of society, I believe that technically quotes simply stating women are superior with no comment on their position in society would be neither and fall more appropriately under supremacy. I'm also not sure what the difference between matriarchy and gynocentrism is, or whether it would be of benefit to Wikiquote to create a separate page for that concept as well, in keeping with Wikipedia. We also have a page for masculinity, but not femininity, which given is also the redirect for effeminacy appears more to do with cultural attitudes and aesthetic values than it does chromosomes. There is also, Men's liberation and Women's movements, though not Women's rights movement as there is with Men's rights movement, providing more pages to divvy up quotes between, should it be determined to be in our best interest to do so. Although it is not something Wikipedia recognizes, as historically children aren't themselves active in politics and lack the voting rights of adults in what appears to be every country, (depending on the varying legal definition of child), further distinctions could be made between women and girls as well, though typically, unlike their adult counterparts, boys and girls are grouped together under the term child advocacy by Wikipedia and not given further distinction. Also, unlike Wikipedia, the current name of this page is women, not woman, which I believe should be changed in keeping with Wikipedia as to to maintain equivalency.

Review help request
Hello greetings,

I had created a stub article named Aurat, wanted and want to expand it further. I had already given my justification of creating separate article Talk:Aurat(further updated talk page comment today).

Some one deleted my earlier content claiming to be non notable and redirected the article page to women which is already overflowing beyond 134000 bytes. I am not sure the user who deleted my content checked my talk page comment.

For example today I wanted to add a relatively recent much debated quote from Pakistan ""Jo aurat hoti hai woh bewafa nahi hoti, aur jo bewafa hoti hai woh aurat nahi hoti’ (A woman is not a cheater, and the one who cheats, is not a woman)." Ref But more than this cultural experiences of Women are much associated with word 'Aurat', though I am not a old generation or far from being conservative but I do not want to suppress PoVs and life experiences do not match with mine. As student of south Asian studies I feel it would be justifiable to have a separate article for Aurat though I am not sure how much Wikiquote rules allow for the same.

This is a kind request to review possibilty for indipendent article for word 'Aurat'; if that is not at all possible I will start adding those to Main article Women

Please do keep me informed

Thanks and Warm regards

Keith Olbermann

Keith Olbermann (born January 27, 1959) is an American journalist and former sportscaster, who hosted Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC from 2003 through January 2011, an hour-long nightly newscast that counts down the top news stories of the day.

Quotes

 * It's such a simple thing, really. It's an awareness that the other people in the world are other people, and that you are one of them. That every time you have a chance to help somebody out, to do what's right instead of what you think you're supposed to do, you should do it.
 * "Senior Convocation Speech," Cornell University (1998-05-23)

 * I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. If you're in a public media setting and you're not expressing something of yourself, turn it over to someone who will. Just get out. Just go away and put somebody on who has a point of view, because the most dangerous thing about TV is its equalizing factor, its lowest common denominator factor. And that's what I fight against all the time.
 * "Inside Story: Knowing It All" by David Davis, L.A. Times (2000-11-26)

 * This is the exact definition of my ego. When Fox had my head 40 feet high at Shea Stadium they said to me, "We're going to give out 100,000 temporary tattoos of your face at the Super Bowl." And I just swallowed and said, "No. God. Don't. You're not going to, you can't possibly — what do you mean, temporary?"
 * "Angry Sportscaster Keith Olbermann has Piazza's Bat—and is Keeping it!" by Jason Gay, New York Observer (2001-03-19)

 * If you make a decision in your life, even one as eminently logical and self-improving as "Why'd you start washing your hair every day?" and you start getting questioned hourly about it, you're going to start second-guessing yourself.
 * "Mea Culpa: My Apology to ESPN," Salon.com (2002-11-17)

 * I just think if you're 44 years old and you're not smarter than you were when you were 35 years old or 25 years old, just stay in your room.
 * "Making up hard to do for Olbermann" by Bob Wolfley, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2003-02-16)

 * Without humor, a sports fan is a religious fanatic. Without humor, a newscast is a terrible, depressing, unpalatable thing.
 * "News duo thinking young" by David Bauder, Deseretnews.com (2003-12-09)

 * The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' — they may not be smart enough to say "yes."
 * "The Way I See It," Starbucks Coffee Cups (2005-02-01)

 * The format of the nightly newscasts is still very much 1981 — "Tremble, onlookers! I am the anchorman and now here is a miracle: a report by satellite from many thousands of miles away. I will return to introduce another one in due course."
 * "As Rather signs off 'Evening News,' the 'voice of God' anchor era ends" by Bill Goodykoontz, The Arizona Republic (2005-03-09)

 * Without [hatred] Michelle Malkin would just be a big mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it.
 * October 2009.

 * "You know the Art Rule: Do something that entertains/interests YOU, if you're lucky it'll do (the) same for others"
 * [From Twitter]

 * "Courage is a mutual thing."
 * [From Twitter, November 13, 2010]

 * "An uprising of the reasonable is our only chance."
 * [From Twitter, July 22, 2010]

 * "I do know without fear of contradiction what the definition of life is and it is 12 words long. 'Life is defined by how much you improve the lives of others.' "
 * "Senior Convocation Speech," Cornell University (1998-05-23)

 * The terrorists have won... What was their goal 15 long, sad years ago? To strip from the world's greatest power, their traditions of growing tolerance. To hamstring the international interests of a country that barely stuck to the international double-white line of the moral road, but came closer than any other. To take our energies from trying... to help the world move forward, and instead make us direct those energies inward, at one another, within our own borders.
 * "The Terrorists Have Won" (November 2016), The Closer, YouTube

Catch Phrases
