William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley

William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley (13 September 1520 – 4 August 1598) was an English politician, the chief advisor of Queen Elizabeth I for most of her reign (17 November 1558 – 24 March 1603), and Lord High Treasurer from 1572.

Quotes

 * England can never be ruined except by a parliament.
 * Famous sayings and their authors: a collection of historical sayings in English, French, German, Greek, Italian, and Latin, by Edward Latham, Sonnenschein, 1906.

 * [Spain seeks to] overthrow the Low Countries, which hitherto have been as a counterscarp to your Majesty's kingdom.
 * Walter Scott (ed.), A Collection of scarce and valuable tracts: Vol. II (London: 1809), p. 169.

 * The Queen of England has more cause to procure the preservation of the Low Countries in their ancient estate in the obedience of the house of Burgundy than any other place hath...Now if the Low Countries should either be subdued to the Spaniards or possessed by the French, England cannot continue this manner of league. For if the Spaniard shall possess this country by conquest, as otherwise they cannot, then must they also govern it as conquers—that is build in every country and special towns, forts and castles which must be kept and guarded with Spaniards...To maintain these the King must continue great taxes...and there will be no reason to stop him but he will set what tax he listeth upon the commodities of England and so shall England wax poor to make him rich. And then England will have no remedy.
 * Memorandum from approximately the beginning of 1576.
 * Conyers Read, Lord Burghley and Queen Elizabeth (London: Jonathan Cape, 1960), p. 166.

 * I doubt not but the fire illuminating heaven on Michelmas eve was seen there – such as I never saw for the time more fearful. God sendeth us such signs but for our erudition.
 * Letter to Sir Francis Walsingham, c. 1573-76.
 * Conyers Read, Lord Burghley and Queen Elizabeth (London: Jonathan Cape, 1960), p. 155.

 * ...for which I heartily thank you as she serveth me to great purpose. For she maketh my hunting very certain and speedy. She hath never failed me, for almost every day this week but brought me in the right way to a deer. And this last week she brought me to a stag which myself had stricken with my bow, being forced to the soil where, with the help of a greater water spaniel that forced him out of the water, your good brach helped to pluck him down.
 * Letter to the Earl of Leicester on a hunting dog he had given Burghley, c. 1580-81.
 * Conyers Read, Lord Burghley and Queen Elizabeth (London: Jonathan Cape, 1960), p. 257.

 * Upon this I sent to the Register who brought me the [twenty-four] articles, which I have read and find so curiously penned, so full of branches and circumstance, as I think the Inquisitors of Spain use not so many questions to comprehend and to trap their prey. … this kind of proceeding is too much savouring of the Roman inquisition, and is rather a device to seek for offenders than to reform any.
 * Letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Whitgift, criticising the Court of High Commission which was persecuting nonconformists (1 July, 1584).
 * Conyers Read, Lord Burghley and Queen Elizabeth (London: Jonathan Cape, 1960), p. 295.
 * Their Lordships of the Upper House...are one member of the Parliament; and also that the Knights, Citizens and Burgesses of this House representing the whole Commons of this Realm are also another member of the same Parliament; and her Majesty the Head; and that of these three Estates doth consist the whole body of Parliament able to make laws.
 * Said in 1585.
 * Simonds D'Ewes, The Journals of all the Parliaments during the Reign of Queen Elizabeth (1682), p. 350.

 * He [King Philip II of Spain] is the mightiest enemy that England ever had, mightier than his father, the emperor Charles, or any other monarch of Christendom was these many years. … Her Majesty's special and most proper defence must be by ships. For ships of England, her Majesty is of her own proper ships so strong as the enemy shall not be able to land any power where her Majesty's navy shall be near to the enemy's navy. The ships of her subjects are also at this day both in number, in strength, in all captains and mariners, stronger than ever they were in memory of man.
 * Memorandum of February, 1588.
 * Conyers Read, Lord Burghley and Queen Elizabeth (London: Jonathan Cape, 1960), pp. 418-9.

 * A Pack of Spanish Lies sent abroad in the world, first printed in the Spanish tongue, and translated out of the original. Now ripped up, unfolded and by just examination condemned, as containing false, corrupt and detestable wares worthy to be damned and burned.
 * Title of a pamphlet published by Burghley on Spanish claims over what happened during the Spanish Armada's attempted invasion of England in 1588.
 * Conyers Read, Lord Burghley and Queen Elizabeth (London: Jonathan Cape, 1960), pp. 433-4.

Quotes about Cecil

 * Cecil had been trained as a lawyer, was associated with the Commonwealthmen, and had served as secretary to Lord Chancellor Somerset. He had proved himself an able and industrious administrator and diplomat under Elizabeth's brother and sister. Upon her accession she named him secretary of state and, in 1572, lord treasurer of England. Early in the reign he advocated foreign intervention in support of Protestant causes; but as he grew in age, experience, and responsibility, he became, like the queen herself, more prudent and cautious. From about 1570, he tended to favor diplomacy as less dangerous and more frugal than war. Consequently, he saw the need to work with, or at least avoid offending, the Catholic powers of Spain and France. His vast circle tended to attract equally cautious men interested in bureaucratic careers, like Sir Nicholas Bacon (1510-79), Elizabeth's keeper of the Great Seal; Sir Francis Knollys (1511/1512-96), vice-chamberlain, then treasurer of her household; and Thomas Radcliffe, earl of Sussex (1526/7-83), lord president of the North.
 * Richard Bucholz and Newton Key, Early Modern England, 1485-1714: A Narrative History (2009), p. 119

 * Where Cecil was sober and careful, [Robert] Dudley was fun and exciting and brought with him a circle of soldiers and poets, including the courtly Sir Christopher Hatton (ca. 1540-91), who served her as lord chancellor and parliamentary "mouthpiece"; and the cunning Sir Francis Walsingham (ca. 1532-90), who, as secretary of state from 1573, oversaw her spies and espionage. These men tended to favor an aggressive foreign policy in support of Protestant causes abroad.
 * Richard Bucholz and Newton Key, Early Modern England, 1485-1714: A Narrative History (2009), p. 119

 * Because many of of the men in both Cecil's and Dudley's circles also held local offices ranging from lord lieutenant down to JP, theirs were truly national networks of patronage, Elizabethan counterparts to medieval affinities. Each circle tended to be linked by ties of blood and marriage as well as temperament and religious orientation, and sons succeeded fathers in their service. Usually, these two groups agreed on general aims and they got along well with each other socially. But at times of crisis, they tended to divide. Where Cecil and his allies increasingly urged caution, pacifism, and thrift, Dudley and his followers advocated bold military intervention against what they saw as a growing threat to English interests and the Protestant cause from the Catholic powers. Where Cecil and his circle appealed to the queen's head, Dudley and his group appealed to her heart. The latter attraction produced a crisis almost as soon as the reign began.
 * Richard Bucholz and Newton Key, Early Modern England, 1485-1714: A Narrative History (2009), p. 119-120

 * Sir William Cecil...was arguably the greatest statesman not only of Tudor England but of sixteenth-century Europe. He was Elizabeth's de facto prime minister for the first forty years of her forty-five year reign.
 * Curtis C. Breight in Arthur Kinney (ed.), Tudor England: An Encyclopedia (2000), p. 119

 * I give you this charge, that you shall be on my privy council and content yourself to take pains for me and my realm. This judgement I have of you: that you will not be corrupted with any manner of gift, and that you will be faithful to the state, and that, without respect of my private will, you will give me that counsel that you think best. And if you shall know anything necessary to be declared unto me of secrecy, you shall show it to myself only, and assure yourself I will not fail to keep taciturnity therein. And therefore herewith I charge you.
 * Queen Elizabeth I to Cecil, appointing him her personal secretary (20 November 1558), quoted in Sir John Harington, Nugae Antiquae (1769; 1804 edition), Vol 1., pp. 68-9

 * As your Majesty knows, it is Burghley who rules the whole of this country.
 * Antonio de Guaras to the Duke of Alva (26 March 1572), quoted in Conyers Read, Lord Burghley and Queen Elizabeth (1960), p. 70

 * When the developments of the 1570's raised the specter of open war, he became more and more the embodiment of caution, chary of risk-taking, the first to point out England's poverty of resources, the most insistent opponent of foreign entanglements. As far as one can see, his preference would have been an isolationist stance, a “fortress England,” relying on a strong navy, coastal fortifications, and a resolute neutrality. When war came, he sought to limit the war effort to the narrowest limits consistent with state security.
 * Wallace T. MacCaffrey, Elizabeth I: War and Politics, 1588–1603 (1992), p. 556

 * For forty years, Burghley had dominated English political life, more powerful than anyone except the Queen herself. He had largely fulfilled her estimate of him at the beginning of the reign. Cautious in his approach, meticulous in his knowledge of affairs and his handling of detail, he, together with his royal mistress, supplied the continuity which was an essential feature of the reign.
 * Penry Williams, The Later Tudors: England, 1547–1603 (1995), p. 365

A Race on the Edge of Time

A Race on the Edge of Time: Radar - The Decisive Weapon of World War II (1987) by David E. Fisher ISBN 0070210888 is an account on the development and deployment of Radar.

Quotes

 * To put it bluntly, it was seen as morally permissible to bomb the natives in the hills of Africa, but reprehensible to use those same airplanes to bomb the citizens of Berlin or London.

 * Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, Commander-in-Chief, RAF Fighter Command was asked if their only hope was to pray to God and trust in radar. He replied, "At this stage I would rather pray for radar, and trust in God."
 * Reflecting on the readiness of the British radar in 1939.

 * When he [Michael Faraday] demonstrated his apparatus [dynamo] to His Majesty's Government, the prime minister, Sir Robert Peel, asked, "Of what use is it?" To which Faraday replied: "I don't know, but I'll wager that some day you'll tax it."

 * England was a the height of her powers as an empire; the virtually instantaneous transmission of information to colonies around the world without the expense and upkeep of laying suboceanic and intercontinental cables seemed to His Majesty's officials to be one more indication of a just God who had the interests of the Empire at heart.
 * On the invention of radio.

 * It was obvious that he couldn't ask any pilot to put his aircraft intentionally into a spin in order to test his theory, so he decided that he should learn to fly. The Superintendent turned down his request, on the grounds that it would "weaken the position" of the professional pilots "who were the recognized experts in flying," but he allowed him to send a written request to the War Office, which surprisingly gave permission - if, of course, the stringent physical examination could be passed.

 * The ground staff, who didn't quite trust him because of his Germanic accent, kept an unofficial but firm limit on the amount of fuel they would put into his plane, never enough to allow him to fly across the Channel. He was never aware of this, so it was lucky he didn't try.

 * Taylor evidently got this scenario from his friend Lord Beaverbrook, who was present, but Dowding later said that the remark about the Cabinet cringing was "really very absurd," although he admitted to perhaps having "thrown down the pencil in exasperation."

 * Robert Wright, in his biography of Dowding, writes: "When the question was raised [after the war] about the curious distortion of the decisions reached about the fighters that is found recorded by Churchill in his own account of those times, Dowding commented: 'You couldn't very well expect him to admit that he came within a hair's breadth of wrecking Fighter Command before the Battle of Britain ever started.'"

 * It pulled Newall to his feet; he sent it on to the other chiefs of staff with his strong recommendation, adding that "it can be said with absolute certainty that while the collapse of France would not necessarily mean the ultimate victory of Germany, the collapse of Great Britain would inevitably do so."

Talk:Pablo Picasso

Disputed quotes
Everything you can imagine is real

Great quote, always attributed to Picasso. But where is it from? --Siorale 15:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * First hit I can find is from "Control applications and ergonomics in agriculture" (1998) Grover cleveland (talk) 23:46, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

For a long time I limited myself to one color — as a form of discipline.

Art Critics and Artists
Endlessly attributed to Picasso:

 * "When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine."

I had read of it as sourced to an interview conducted late in Picasso's life. Can anyone reading here fine that down to tell us which interview, if so?

Learning by Doing
This quote pops up all over the web:

 * I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

It is almost invariably attributed to Picasso but one site attributes an extremely minor variation to van Gogh. I have seen no source for it. Rather than add ignorance, I'd rather gain knowledge. Editors in WQ should be sourcing quotes regularly; I'd like to see if this can be sourced -- or not.

Xiong 02:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Xiong, the source is actually listed on Wikipedia itself: The Potato Eaters. Van Gogh in a letter to Anthon van Rappard September 1885: "I am always doing what I can't do yet in order to learn how to do it". Picasso would have been four years old at the time. Should we perhaps be making note of this on the Picasso page? I'm not sure it should be attributed to Picasso at all. Davidkturner (talk)

 * It's nice to have a note on "misattributed quotes" section; there are quotes frequently attributed to a wrong person, and having such a note on these quotes would avoid future mistakes. --Aphaia (talk) 19:09, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

http://vangoghletters.org/vg/letters/let528/letter.html "But I keep on making what I can’t do yet in order to learn to be able to do it."

I've just removed this quotation from the main article. The source that was given, Richard Alan Krieger's "Civilizations Quotations: Life's Ideal" is not a legitimate source -- it's no different that a quote farm of unvalidated sources except it got published. Van Gogh certainly is more likely. And Aristotle said something similar in the Nichomachean Ethics Book II.1: "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." But I can track down no credible source that Picasso said this.

 * I saw your edit, and have placed the quote into a "Misattributed" section. This is preferable to removing the quote entirely, as it permits people to learn more about the Vincent Van Gogh source, and prevents it from being re-added as a Picasso quote. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 02:10, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

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 Pablo Picasso. --Antiquary 09:37, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Cuando me dicen que soy demasiado viejo para hacer una cosa, procuro hacerla enseguida.
 * When they tell me I'm too old to do something, I attempt it immediately.

 * El arte es una mentira que nos acerca a la verdad.
 * Art is a lie that leads us closer to the truth.
 * This link contains a mention of a source for the above quote. The source is still unverified however, and no archived version seems to exist online. --50.46.148.155 05:47, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

 * El camino de la juventud lleva toda una vida.
 * The path of youth takes a whole life.

 * Genio es personalidad con dos duros de talento.
 * Genius is personality with two pennies of talent.

 * Hace falta mucho, mucho tiempo para ser joven.
 * A long, long time is needed to be young.

 * La calidad de un pintor depende de la cantidad de pasado que lleve consigo.
 * The quality of a painter depends on the amount of the past he carries with him.

 * La pintura es más fuerte que yo, siempre consigue que haga lo que ella quiere.
 * The painting is stronger than me, it always gets me to do what it wants.

 * Me gusta vivir pobre... pero con mucho dinero.
 * I like to live poor... but with a lot of money.

 * Si se sabe exactamente lo que se va a hacer, ¿para qué hacerlo?.
 * If it is known exactly what is going to be done, why do it?

 * Si hubiera una sola verdad, no se podrían hacer cien lienzos sobre un mismo tema.
 * If there were only one truth, it wouldn't be possible to do 100 variations on the same theme.

 * Un pintor es un hombre que pinta lo que vende. Un artista, en cambio, es un hombre que vende lo que pinta.
 * A painter is a man who paints what he sells. An artist, however, is a man who sells what he paints.

 * Yo no digo todo, mas pinto todo.
 * I do not say everything, but I paint everything.

 * Yo no evoluciono, yo soy.
 * I do not evolve, I am.

 * Yo no pinto las cosas como las veo, yo pinto como las pienso.
 * I do not paint things as I see them, I paint how I think of them.

 * Yo no trabajo según la Naturaleza, sino delante de ella, con ella. Un pintor debe observar la Naturaleza, pero jamás confundirla con la pintura.
 * I don't work according to Nature, but in front and together with it. An artist must observe Nature, but never confuse it with the painting.

 * If they took away my paints I’d use pastels. If they took away my pastels I’d use crayons. If they took away my crayons I’d use pencils. If they stripped me naked and threw me in prison I’d spit on my finger and paint on the walls.
 * I've added what I presume is the original of this to the main page, with a source. It has been considerably expanded from the original. Grover cleveland (talk) 20:34, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Ah, good taste -- what a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

 * All I ever made was made for the present and in the hope it will always remain in the present.

 * Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.
 * Reported last words

 * God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things.

 * Good art bristles with razor blades.

 * I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn.

 * It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.

 * North Pole, South Pole.
 * Referring to himself and his friend Henri Matisse

 * Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

 * The smell of opium is the least stupid smell in the world.

 * Theories are lies that help us to see the truth.

 * There are two kinds of women — goddesses and doormats.

 * The three most astonishing things in the past half-century were The Blues, Cubism and...Polish Vodka.

 * Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don’t start measuring her limbs.

 * Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.

 * If there is something to steal, I steal it!.

 * People want to find a "meaning" in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age, an age that is anything but practical but believes itself to be more practical than any other age.

 * Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.

compare to "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" by Berthold Auerbach. "Berthold Auerbach Quotes." Quotes.net. STANDS4 LLC, 2014. Web. 29 May 2014. .
 * Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

 * Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

 * Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.

 * Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!

 * I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.

 * There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.

 * Give me a museum and I'll fill it.

 * Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist.

 * The meaning of life is to find you gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

 * Painting isn't an aesthetic operation; it's a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.
 * Quoted in Mario Livio, The Golden Ratio (2002), p. 159

New Quote
I thought this was pretty good:

"The chief enemy of creativity is good taste."

Could that be added to the article? I don't have a reliable source, but I'm sure someone else could find it online that he really said that, or something along the lines of it.

If there were only one truth, you couldn’t paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Is this quote really from Picasso? 80.71.142.166 05:01, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

 * We don't wanna leave you, but...but we got to...wish this point right here, wish it could last forever right now! Yeah...it's kinda like one big orgasm!
 * Spoken before the performance of Only A Lad from Oingo Boingo's farewell concert on October 31, 1995 (which was released on CD, VHS and DVD).

 * You'll never get me into a tux. Not until I'm dead and I have no choice because that's what the undertaker put me in.
 * From an interview in Entertainment Weekly #422, March 13, 1998.

 * It'll say, 'Danny Elfman, who wrote the theme to 'The Simpsons,' etcetera...That's what I'll be remembered for.
 * On what he believes will be his obituary, from the Los Angeles Times cover story, "A Different Beat", 1999.

About Elfman

 * For a while, I was friends with Danny Elfman. He is certainly talented and has done some great music for film. But after talking with him several times when I was having trouble dealing with a movie producer or the agents that we shared, I realized his true genius was dealing with these people.
 * John Lurie (2021). The History of Bones, Random House.

Nawal El Saadawi

Nawal El Saadawi (Arabic: نوال السعداوى) (born October 27, 1931 – March 21, 2021) is an Egyptian feminist writer, activist and physician, and an advocate of equal rights for women.

Quotes

 * Many people think that female circumcision only started with the advent of Islam. But as a matter of fact it is well known and widespread in some areas of the world before the Islamic era, including the Arabian peninsula. Mohammad the Prophet tried to oppose this custom since he considered it harmful to the sexual health of the woman.
 * The Hidden Face of Eve (1980)

 * The hijab has nothing to do with moral values. A woman's moral values are reflected in her eyes, in the way she talks, and in the way she walks. They put on a hijab and go dancing, wearing high heels and lipstick. They wear tight jeans that show their bellies.
 * Statement on Al-Arabiya TV (3 March 2007), as quoted in "The Hijab: Is it Religiously mandated?" by Farzana Hassan and Tarek Fatah at  Islamic Research Foundation International, Inc.

 * I’m surrounded by young people, day and night. Thousands of them. The government is afraid of the young, and they won’t touch me because they know I have the power of the young people behind me.
 * On how writers like her are protected by the younger generation since the 2011 revolution in Egypt in “Nawal El Saadawi: ‘Do you feel you are liberated? I feel I am not’” in The Guardian (2015 Oct 11)

 * …This is everyone’s struggle—whether against men in the family, or against capitalism. It’s power. I don’t think that people in power can be convinced by words or articles. They will never give it up by choice. Even a husband in the house, no—power has to be taken with power…
 * On struggles against oppression in “An Interview With Nawal El Saadawi” in The Nation (2011 Mar 21)

 * …Nobody can help anybody. Nobody can help us in Egypt—we did our revolution alone, we liberated ourselves alone. I don’t believe in charity or “helping.” I believe in the equal exchange of ideas, and networking.
 * On how Egyptians cannot rely on Western allies in “An Interview With Nawal El Saadawi” in The Nation (2011 Mar 21)

 * We're not living in three worlds, we're living in one.
 * On her overview of life despite being involved in various causes in “An Interview with Nawal el Saadawi, Egypt's Most Fiery Feminist” in Vice (2015 Nov 12)

 * “Life is very hard. The only people who really live are those who are harder than life itself.”
 * “All the men I did get to know, every single man of them, has filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face.”

Interview (2004)

 * The veil is a political symbol and has nothing to do with Islam...They are using women as a political tool in a political game. Many people are aware of that, but the educational system puts a veil on the mind. The veiling of the mind is more serious. Our slogan at the Arab Women’s Solidarity Association is "Unveil the Mind."

 * Feminism to me is to fight against patriarchy and class and to fight against male domination and class domination. We don’t separate between class oppression and patriarchal oppression. Many so-called feminists don’t. We can’t be liberated under American occupation, for example.

 * These days, there is also a phenomenon I call "false awareness." Many women who call themselves feminists today wear makeup, high heels, tight jeans and they still wear the hijab. It is very contradictory. They are victims of both religious fundamentalism and American consumerism. They have no political awareness. They are unaware of the connection between the liberation of women on the one hand and of the economy and country on the other. Many consider only patriarchy as their enemy and ignore corporate capitalism.

 * Sadat put me in prison along with some other men. Under Mubarak, I’ve been "gray-listed." Although there is no official order banning me, I can’t appear in the national media–it’s an unwritten rule. There is no chance for people like me to be heard by the people.

 * Progressive groups should unite. We are divided and scattered. There must be efforts for unity. Women and men fighting against the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the World Bank should fight together. Local and global resistance should not be separated. We must give a lot of attention to organization and unveiling of the mind. The new superpower of the people should be organized.

 * A progressive Muslim is a Muslim who respects all religions. He doesn’t politicize his God. God is not a book. God is justice and freedom and love and honesty. That is what my father taught me–to be honest.

Interview in The Guardian (2009)

 * You ask me if I regret anything I've written. No, I regret none of my 47 books. If I started my life again I would write the same books. They are all very relevant even today: the issues of gender, class, colonialism (although of course that was British and is now American), female genital mutilation, male genital mutilation, capitalism, sexual rape and economic rape. My books have always taken on taboos – political, economic, sexual, religious taboos – but my most radical was my last play: God Resigns at the Summit Meeting. It will never be put on in a theatre, and of course it is totally banned in Egypt...as for my actions, I don't regret any of them either. What I did I had to do, whether it was running in the presidential election against [President] Mubarak [in 2005], divorcing two husbands, or challenging the system. What I regret was that I was not too radical. I compromised to live; my name was on death lists. You have to be a bit – but not too – diplomatic in order to survive in life. Nobody can tolerate the truth. The truth is very savage.

 * I describe myself as like a horse jumping obstacles, obstacle after obstacle. I am a winning horse. I insist on it; winning brings me energy. I lose sometimes, of course, like when I went to prison, but you need a dose of pain, challenges to develop your power and energy.

 * I get great pleasure from creativity and writing, especially novels. It gives me a lot of energy, and for me it is more pleasurable than sex or food or anything. And I am a happy person because of this pleasure.

 * Hope, too, is power.

 * The solution can only come from us, from the people who were beaten by the system. But we were beaten because we were not organised, not powerful. All of the demonstrations, against the Iraq war, at Davos, against the Israeli attack on Gaza: why didn't we win? I have to answer that it is because young people are not organised; they don't represent a political power.

 * Veiling and nakedness, they are two faces of the same kind. To see a woman naked, that does not mean she is liberated. It means the woman is just a body, not a mind. Traditional education, even postmodern education, veils the mind; the media veils the mind.

 * My dream is a world without religion, with real morality and one standard for men and women, poor and rich. A world with no war, with equality and justice between genders and classes, real freedom and democracy. That would be to finish with patriarchy and capitalism and class, to have a really human society, to unveil the mind.

Interview with Progressive Magazine (2011)

 * (What role did women play in the revolution last spring?) El Saadawi: Women were everywhere in the revolution. Women participated in it, and many women were killed. Then we had the right to speak up and gain some more rights, but what happened was there was a backlash. Why? Because we have the Salafists, Muslim Brothers, religious groups.

 * Women are suffering because they are being excluded. The high military council excluded women from the committee to change the constitution. We cannot be liberated as women in a society built on class oppression or gender oppression or religious oppression...Women are half the society. You cannot have a revolution without women. You cannot have democracy without women. You cannot have equality without women. You can’t have anything without women. You cannot have dignity. The slogan of the revolution was dignity, social justice, and freedom. You cannot have dignity or social justice or freedom without women.

 * All revolutions in history have obstacles. There is not a revolution that succeeded in a few months. It takes years, even decades, to fulfill its goals. I am very hopeful because I trust the revolution and feel nobody can really conquer a nation that has decided to be united and to fight, and we decided to fight. The revolution is there, inside the Egyptians by the millions.

Interview (2014)

 * The oppression of women in Egypt cannot be traced to traditions, Islam and fundamentalism, but rather to the slavery system – a system of the patriarchal class society that is supported by the religions.

 * There are many people today who say that the Islamic religion oppresses women. I say to them: no, it's Christianity and Judaism. Islam merely adopted this practice.

 * I spent ten years comparing the Old and New Testaments with the Koran – they are very similar; the differences are minimal. So we can say that the root of the oppression of women lies in the global post-modern capitalist system, which is supported by religious fundamentalism. This is because they need a god to justify oppression, their political hypocrisy, colonialism and the killing of people. How can the invasion of Palestine or Iraq be justified?! How can it be that today, 50 per cent of Egyptian people live below the poverty line while two percent have billions of dollars? How can we justify this? You need God in order to justify it.

Quotes about El Saadawi

 * She is a reminder that feminism is indigenous to the region and not something we need to import..She inspired me to be savage and dangerous in telling the truth as her life clearly showed
 * Mona Eltahawy quoted in NPR obituary (2021)

All Canadian women have at some time in their lives, chosen to wear a head cover. In blinding snow storms or in freezing rain, the covering of the head, irrespective of what religion one practices, is crucial to one's survival in a harsh winter. Halfway across the world, in the deserts of Arabia, whether one was a Muslim or a pagan, the covering of one's head and face was at times an absolute necessity, not just when facing a blistering sandstorm, but anytime one stepped out of the home in the searing sun. What was essentially attire necessary for a particular climate and weather, has today been turned into a symbol of defiance and at best a show of piety by Islamists and orthodox Muslims.  There is not a single reference in the Quran that obliges Muslim women to cover their hair or their face. In fact the only verse that comes close to such a dress code is (33: 59) which asks women to "cover their bosoms".
 * The words of 75-year old Nawal Al-Sa'dawi, Egypt's leading feminist on Al-Arabiya TV on March 3, 2007, reflected her bitterness at how the covering of a women's head has been misrepresented as an act of piety and the most defining symbol of Islam.
 * Farzana Hassan and Tarek Fatah, in "The Hijab: Is it Religiously mandated?" at  Islamic Research Foundation International, Inc.

But it’s very often the case with revolutionary moments that women are present but then they’re drummed out of it afterwards.
 * The Arab Spring did a great deal for women because the person who spread the word in the first place was a woman. Women participated in it; they were fully out there in the street. Nawal El Saadawi is a founding figure of Egyptian and Middle Eastern feminism who wrote a book opposing female genital mutilation (of which she is a victim). She’s been banned. She’s been in prison. She’s now in her eighties and during the Arab Spring she was like the wise woman of Liberation Square, sitting in the middle of it as young women and young men came to her for instruction, for blessings, and so on.
 * Gloria Steinem, in "The Humanist Interview with Gloria Steinem" in The Humanist (September / October 2012)

Mahdi Akef

Sheikh Mohammed Mahdi Akef (Arabic: محمد مهدي عاكف) (July 12, 1928 – September 22, 2017) was the head of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Egypt-based Islamic political movement.

Quotes

 * The Arab and Islamic countries suffer from severe backwardness, and the Western world wants to make them even more backward.
 * Arab and Islamic Countries Should Obtain Nuclear Technology "For Military Purposes" (June 2006)

 * The Muslim Brotherhood is a global movement whose members cooperate with each other throughout the world, based on the same religious worldview - the spread of Islam, until it rules the world.
 * The Progress of Hassan al-Banna's Vision (November 2006)

 * In no country and under no circumstances is it possible to launch resistance unless the government approves of this.

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 Heraclitus. --Antiquary 19:30, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 * One good secondary source: http://www.classicpersuasion.org/pw/heraclitus/herpatu.htm – 6birc (talk) 09:23, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

 * A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one.
 * Variant: Invisible harmony is better than visible.

 * Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.

 * Big results require big ambitions.

 * Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire.

 * Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.

 * If it were not for injustice, men would not know justice.

 * Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, one living the others death and dying the others life.

 * It is in changing that things find purpose.

 * Justice will overtake fabricators of lies and false witnesses.

 * Men who are lovers of wisdom must be inquirers into many things.
 * Variants: Men who love wisdom should acquaint themselves with a great many particulars. Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.

 * Much learning does not teach understanding.

 * No one that encounters prosperity does not also encounter danger.

 * One must know that war is common, justice is strife, and everything happens according to strife and necessity.

 * One must talk about everything according to its nature, how it comes to be and how it grows. Men have talked about the world without paying attention to the world of their own minds, as if they were asleep or absent-minded.

 * Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.

 * Poor witnesses for men are their eyes and ears if they have barbarian souls.
 * Variants: Eyes and ears are poor witnesses to people if they have uncultured souls. Evil witnesses are eyes and ears of men, if they have souls that do not understand their language.

 * Is http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heraclitus/, https://books.google.pl/books?id=14muxtEiBG0C&printsec=frontcover&hl=pl&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false or http://www.classicpersuasion.org/pw/heraclitus/herpatu.htm a good enough reference? They all list it as credible, with Κακοὶ μάρτυρες ἀνθρώποισι ὀφθαλμοὶ καὶ ὦτα, βαρβάρους ψυχὰς ἐχόντων from Sextus Empiricus adv. Math. vii. 126. ; in context: >>He (Heraclitus) casts discredit upon sense perception in the saying, "Eyes and ears are bad witnesses to men having rude souls." Which is equivalent to saying that it is the part of rude souls to trust to the irrational senses.<<, Stobaeus Floril. iv. 56., Compare Diogenes Laert. ix. 7. - so we have both primary and sources of good quality here.

 * The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.

 * The eyes are more exact witnesses than the ears.

 * The Lord whose oracle is at Delphi neither reveals nor conceals, but gives a sign.

 * The most beautiful ape is ugly when compared to a human. The wisest human will seem like an ape when compared to a god with respect to wisdom, beauty, and everything else.

 * The most perfect mind is a dry light.

 * The phases of fire are craving and satiety.

 * The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny — it is the light that guides your way.

 * The sun is new each day.

 * The world is nothing but a great desire to live and a great dissatisfaction with living.

 * There is exchange of all things for fire and of fire for all things, as there is of wares for gold and of gold for wares.

 * To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.
 * Variant: To do the same thing over and over is not only boredom; it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.

 * To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
 * Variant: To God all things are beautiful, good, and right; human beings, on the other hand, deem some things right and others wrong.

 * Uncomprehending when they have heard, they are like the deaf. The saying describes them: though present they are absent.

 * War is the father and king of all: some he has made gods, and some men; some slaves and some free.

 * We are most nearly ourselves when we achieve the seriousness of the child at play.
 * Variant: Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.

 * Where there is no strife there is decay: The mixture which is not shaken decomposes.

 * Wisdom is one thing — to know how to make true judgment, how all things are steered through all things.

 * All men are deceived by the appearances of things, even Homer himself, who was the wisest man in Greece; for he was deceived by boys catching lice, they said to him, "What we have caught and what we have killed we have left behind, but what has escaped us we bring with us."

Misattributed
Where is the evidence that the quote that "the only constant is change" is being misattributed to Heraclitus? If he didn't write it, then who did? 184.145.48.225 18:02, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

The "He will bring the others back" quote is verifiably in Suarez' book, but according to this forum Suarez claims to have gotten it from "Warrior Words," a 1992 book of military quotations by Peter Tsouras Slingstone (talk)

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 Jennica. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jennica~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 23:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
