Okage: Shadow King

Okage: Shadow King is a RPG game released by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. in October 2001 exclusively for the PlayStation 2. Okage's story centers around a boy named Ari whose shadow becomes possessed by the evil king Stan. Ari is then forced into becoming Stan's avatar on a quest to take over the world.

Evil King Stan

 * "Don't get fresh with me, suckling! Do you know who you're talking to?!"
 * (To a villager) "The dark raging fire that is my unyielding evil freezes his soul."
 * (To Rosalyn) "Atta girl, fat legs! Attracting suspicious old men!"
 * "These villagers here, they conspire to infuriate me!"
 * "What is she going to do, providing dreams to humans? Why isn't she providing despair and pushing humans off into the black abyss?  Hmmmm.  Looks like she needs more coaching.  Heh, heh, heh.  You, slave.  Go to Linda.  I will train her so hot...  I mean, so hard!"
 * "This looks evil. Really evil. So evil I'm jealous. I should be like this."
 * (To a child of Tenel) "Gaze into my horrifying visage and fear it! Cry! Pee your pants!"
 * (To Annie) "Shut up! I said I'd cure you! I didn't say I wouldn't turn your shadow pink!"
 * "I am a purely evil, evil King. Let my malevolence and sheer badness awe and terrify you!"
 * "Yes, I have waited for three hundred years in a bottle due to some deplorable error..."
 * (To Kisling and Rosalyn) "Hey! Professor Crackpot and Bat Woman!"

Rosalyn

 * (Mocking Stan) "I'm Stan! I'm so evil! I'm sooo supreme! When I appear, the heavens quake with fear!"
 * "Oh, where the hell is he, that darn creep..."
 * "Pink, you know, pink! And not even a tasteful pink, but a fluorescent pink!"
 * (To Stan) "Co-dependent much?"
 * (To Stan) "Just because a pretty girl uncorked your bottle doesn't mean you need to cheerfully come out!"
 * (To Stan) "Y'know, you should just stop, because I'm starting to feel embarrassed for you."
 * (To Stan) "See, you wanted to step on it from the beginning. Denial is dorky."

Kisling

 * "Well, according to me, who possesses a linguistic sense as precious as true love or really good lasagne..."
 * "Brilliant! Using the threat of social stigma! A subtle but potent attack. Stan never would have thought of it."
 * (Talking about an evil machine in the sewers) "It makes the butt kicking powers of the one who stands on it, even more crankin'!"

Marlene

 * (To Julia) "There, there country girl. Cool down your temper. Would you like a cow?"
 * "How boring, to go gently about facing evil!"
 * "You who aspire to be a sophisticated villain with your housewife lies!"
 * "As long as I am princess, I will not tolerate the existence of such tacky evil!"
 * "Servant Ari. Prepare a cup of tea."

Linda

 * "It's okay. Linda is sad, but easily distracted."
 * "I dunno. I'm still cute, though."
 * (Talking about a door) "Thinking's hard. Let's just kill it!"
 * "Everyone's all brainwashed and happy!"
 * (Epros just floated away and Linda is Fantasizing about him.)"Epros Wait! You Said you would give me a bubbly and a Cuddly!"

Epros

 * "Um...yes, that was thrilling. Shall we then? Onto the killing..."
 * "Permit my hazard into your plight. Once life sucked, now 'tis alright?"
 * "Ah at last you arrive! Everything is as was contrived.  Pray mercy that at my hand thou dost survive..."
 * "(About what Linda Just said)Thy meaning I fear I cannot cipher. Plus you're too perky and overly hyper."
 * "My own plans, I reveal not, lest they add to thy Confusion. A Caveat bide! Corporeal Attacks will be futile As this Form is But an Illusion. Now enter Stage and draw Steel, For this Battle is nearing its Dark conclusion!"
 * "Who is this James? I fear I know him not by his name."

Big Bull

 * (To Rosalyn) "Hey sister, where's boss?"
 * (About Epros/Phantom Evil King) "He should be smashing and pounding people! Not being all floaty. That's not power!"

Other

 * "I'm starving. Can we eat?" - Ari (after Rosalyn threatens to kill him to get revenge on Stan)
 * "Uh huh, uh huh. That's right, honey." - Grandmother
 * "Ancient people used rocks to clip their toe-nails." - Ari's father

Dialogue

 * Big Bull: Yo, sister!
 * Rosalyn: I'm not your sister!!!

 * Epros: A tisket, a tasket, a caveat I bring. You can call me something like Phantom Evil King.
 * Stan: Hey, hey!! You are a fake Evil King too!?  They're everywhere!!  Like insects!
 * Rosalyn: So much for being a beautiful and unique snowflake. Hee hee!

 * Epros: I confess that... 'Twould that I could, a less vulgar entrance I'd have designed...  Alas, 'tis the only way I can warn thee within the range of "classification" I am assigned.
 * Stan: It's you again. You never learn.  And it's just like the last time.
 * Epros: Hush, cheeky king! Our act is nearly done!  'Twas at the Gear Tower foretold that this fight 'twould be won...  The key is at the Deep Grave Pit.  To war, to wit!  To our melee, run!
 * Rosalyn: Why do you need to say such a thing? Are you trying to show that you are calm?  You think you are the Evil King who can replace Stan over there?
 * Epros: Fortune may smile on I and thee... That I am not him and he is not me.  Mark my defeat and the Great Evil King candidate thou shalt see.  Ah, the intention in thy eyes...  Thou wishes to find it and beget its demise!  'Fore its great evil, the Great Evil King doth exercise!  I tell you this thus so that I may learn what I need to know...  My purpose is beyond vanity or show...  ...  Enough!  Lest such dalliance Beiloune's notice invite.  Fare thee well 'til our fight!
 * Kisling: Hey wait! What do you want to know...?  Oh, he's gone.
 * Stan: Strange man. I'm not happy with this, slave.  It seems like we're being led.
 * Linda: Oh, but he's, like, somewhat cool. Who is he?
 * Big Bull: He's not cool at all! Cool means being powerful and smashin' stuff!  Not being all floaty!  That's not power!
 * Stan: That's right, Bull! He's not cool!  I'm the coolest one here!  Good call!
 * Linda: Oh, Stan darling. Don't be jealous.

 * Rosalyn: Just because a pretty girl uncorked your bottle doesn't mean you need to joyfully come out!
 * Stan: Who's the pretty girl? That is quite enough of your lip! You fat butt!
 * Rosalyn: What the hell part of me is fat? You flat-butted, three-dimensionally challenged Evil King!

 * Stan:I Don't Believe it! All those Heroes Going after fake evil Kings When a real one is Right in front of them!
 * Ari:You want Heroes to go after You?
 * Stan: Humph!!

 * James:"NONSENSE BUTLER CHOP!"(breaks open a door)
 * Linda:"That was like, Totally cool!!"
 * Epros:"Um....Yes, that was thrilling. Shall we then? Onto the killing..."

 * Epros:(after being defeated) "Ugh...That Rhyming is infuriating...Where'd He learn that?"
 * Stan:"Yes, the power! It's Returning!" Another step towards the Revival of my Invincible power!"
 * Epros:"Yes...! Now....!!"
 * Rosalyn:"Disappeared!? Phantom Evil King?"
 * Stan:"Bah!, Let him go if he wants! You Boorish, Hair-splitting Hero! The Powerful are supposed to laugh and gloat when they win! Right Slave!? Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!"
 * Linda: "Yeeek! Stan Darling, Excellent!"
 * Big Bull:"Excellent Brother!"
 * Linda:"Phantom Evil King's way of Losing was Totally Cool, Too!"
 * Stan:"Whaaat!?!?"

(The group arrives in the highlands)
 * Stan:"Hmmm. Is this Where Beiloune Was bragging that He'll make an evil king to match me? My Irresistible Power Will Attack and overpower him and..."
 * Kisling:"Hold on, King Stan. I Do feel that an evil king is awaiting us around here."
 * Rosalyn:"It's Kind of Peaceful. I didn't Know a village existed in Such an Out of the way Place...."
 * Big Bull:"I don't smell Heated combat."
 * Mysterious voice:"'Tis a shame That a Former Evil king Can't tell, Evil's far More Subtle, sinister Smell..."
 * Stan:"Huh? Who Are you?"
 * Epros:"Though defeated, I will not be denied. By a Hero, A party of an Evil King, and a "Not classified"."
 * Stan:"You again!? Didn't I already Teach you a lesson!?"
 * Rosalyn:"You want to do it again? I'll take you on, Anytime!"
 * Epros:"Bide Hero! I have a proposal to Make... I am Here Neither for King nor Hero's Sake. 'Tis for Knowledge of Ari's Power I Ache. Beiloune influences all, Unbated! But Whatever you possess makes Beiloune Frustrated.... To the world Library, Advance! That I may see. Though I admit it's location is Unbeknownst To me.... Upon your arrival, Awaits another Evil King raised by Beiloune. Thy Chances Be slim, if thy Go'est alone. A truce then! An Alliance! Might I, your Consent? Allow me to create a Victory, Imminent!"
 * Linda:"Umm... That means, In short..."
 * Kisling:"You Want to join our Party?"
 * Epros: ..........
 * Stan: "Um. If that's the reason, It's fine! But from now on, you'll Follow my orders! got it?"
 * Epros:"I Follow no Liege... No Trick of the light. I am Known as Epros. By Thy Side i Shall Fight."
 * Linda:"I'll Remember, Epros! Linda's so Happy! Like, I'm Totally Psyched!"
 * Epros:"That name. A bell Doth ring. Ah, yes. You are the former Teen Idol Evil King...
 * Linda:"No way! Don't Label Me with such a dorky name! If you dare to take me away from my Stan, Just Call me "Linda" and gimme a Cuddly and a Bubbly!"
 * Epros:"Wh-What!?! Um...Thy Meaning I fear I cannot Cipher. Plus you're to Perky and Overly Hyper!"
 * Rosalyn:"I don't Know why, but I'm surrounded By former Evil Kings...Are you okay? Are you Really okay, Rosalyn?"
 * Kisling:"It's okay Ms.Rosalyn. Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

 * A little weary guy:"I'm so depressed and I have no motivation to do anything. Recently, everyone in my family is like that."
 * Big bull:"It's due to a lack of fighting and your body not being hot enough! Why don't you start a fight with me?"
 * Epros:"This lack of bliss, what's amiss?"

 * Rosalyn:"This building. Did you see this during the day?"
 * Stan:"Hmm.If anything should happen, it must be somewhere like this. Correct? Clearly it is inviting us."
 * Epros:"This strange phantasm even I cannot snare. Mind Beiloune's hand. On guard, Beware."

 * Eerie voice:"Whooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
 * Epros:"Hark! Listen!"
 * Stan:"Where did it come from?"

 * Stan:"A road that opens only during the night seems to be luring us."
 * Rosalyn:"We have to be careful. Anything could happen..."
 * Mysterious voice:"Night provides the means for a clever ambush...but as I am an evil king of honor, I would not surprise you as such."
 * Epros:"A revelation. Sir, your Appellation?"
 * Mysterious Monster:"I guess I would call myself...The "vampire evil king" self-contemptuously by the way I accumulate my power."
 * Linda:"Ooo, someone has angst."
 * Stan:'Bei-what's-his-name was claiming he'll generate an evil king that'll replace me... And is that you?"
 * Vampire evil king:"yes, it is I. I am an evil being who is "classified" as evil. and now...compelled by the power of classification to be the sumpreme evil king...and gather my power here."
 * Epros:"Blood in sleep, it flows so sweet..."
 * Rosalyn:"What? Blood? What do you mean?"
 * Kisling:"Um, the ways of the villagers...probably it is because the evil king repeatedly sucks their blood. This village is for feeding."
 * Vampire evil king:"Correct, "Party that threatens the "classified" world headed by a fearful boy". Villagers are "classified" as being "innocent and simple people easily controlled by my power". That is their existence. They have no other function. Alas, there is no way to resist regardless of whether one is aware of the truth. What I cannot resist, I shall thus embrace! I will become as evil as I can be...and suck your blood to become the ultimate evil."
 * Stan:"Those are bold words blood-sucker! But they are even more foolish.you address the great evil king Stan! I'll suck your power to be mine! That's how it's going to be! Slave! Squash this lipless parasite!"
 * Epros:" Wary be! He has strong magic. A clever means we must devise. Defeat would be tragic...A direct attack 'twould be fatal to receive. Alas, We'd be goners 'fore we had time to grieve!"

(The Group arrives in the Pospos snowfield and sees the Phantom evil king)
 * Stan:"Huh? Who are you?"
 * ???:"I warn thee that beyond here is "not the world" you know...Actors should not venture too far backstage, lest curtain call the ruler's show..."
 * Rosalyn:"Cute, but uses cheesy metaphors."
 * Stan:"Whaat!? what is this!?"
 * ???:"Ha ha ha ha ha... Poor shadow, the world nigh belongs to thee...A shame! Yours,Perhaps it never will be. For a new evil king awakes and soon shall be free..."
 * Stan:"What!? Another fake evil king!?"
 * ???:"It would serve well thy wish to ascend, if thy attended the beast "stead o" the depths descend."
 * Rosalyn:"Nigh this, Nigh that. Who are you and why is your poetry so bad?"
 * Kisling:"We have not told him our names either Ms. Rosalyn."
 * ???:"A tisket, a tasket, a caveat I bring. You may call me something like Phantom evil king...
 * Stan:"Hey, Hey!! You are a fake evil king too? They're Everywhere! Like insects!"
 * Rosalyn:"So much for being a beautiful and unique snowflake. Hee hee!"
 * Stan:"urrrgggh!! Oh you will pay, charlatan! You needn't Worry! I'm coming!"

 * Rosalyn:"Wh...what... ...Beiloune!? ...Princess!? What happened...!?"
 * Marlene:"Ah... Ari... I can't breathe... Help..."
 * Stan:"Well this looks interesting!"
 * Father:"Oh! Ari! Rosalyn! you came just in time! that man...! This isn't good at all, but some interesting findings may come out of all this commotion."
 * Mother:"Honey, what are you talking about!? This is horrible! Someone please do something! The princess is...!"
 * Beiloune:"You came huh? what timing. Is this the power of "classification" that makes a hero be a hero? What a bother..."
 * Stan:"What are you talking about?"
 * Marlene:"arrrgh... oh..."
 * Big bull:"Looks like she's in trouble! Bad trouble!"
 * Linda:"Omigod! What an evil meanie, making a girl suffer like that!"
 * Ari:"Leave Marlene alone!"
 * Kisling:"Are you insane!? You're the Princess' steward! Aren't you? Are you trying to kill her!?"
 * Beiloune:"No need to worry, This girl is not my lady. Besides, she won't die like a regular human..."
 * Rosalyn:"What is this man talking about? Anyway...!"
 * Beiloune:"...anyway I am here to talk to Marlene. Could you leave us alone?"
 * Marlene:"Bei- Beiloune... Argh... You.........."
 * Beiloune:"...(Sigh)... Marlene? I have done everything for you. Remember? In the perfect world I created, I've let you play a variety of roles. So why don't you live up to my expectations?"
 * Marlene:"..............?"
 * Stan:"Eh? What was that?"
 * Kisling:"The world you created...?"
 * Beiloune:"Humph...Yes it is, Outsiders. This small world was separated by me from the universe by the power of "classification". And you too, Were let live in this small world with the power of "classification". To play the roles that I gave. It was all for my dearest daughter Marlene. To enjoy her eternal life without any boredom...It was... What is "classification" to begin with...? What are heroes evil kings and ghosts? You've never thought about it, have you? you cannot. You are "classified" as naive residents who don't think intelligently. However, for some reason, over time, deviants appear. And one of them is now in front of me."
 * Marlene:"Oh...Ari...help...Ari...Ari..."
 * Ari:"Beiloune, leave her alone!"
 * Beiloune:"........ ...It is after all due to a mere doll. No matter how strongly "classified", It cannot replace my daughter, who disappeared in this world! Then, Damn this!"
 * Rosalyn:"Oh no!"
 * Mother:" No! no!"
 * Kisling:"A doll!? How!?"
 * Linda:"What? A doll!?"

(After the final battle against Beiloune)
 * Beiloune:(after being defeated) "...If you want to kill me, kill me. This world is, no longer...
 * Stan:(To Beiloune) "Hmm. I wanted to see you like this. But I won't kill you. It's too much work. Now, I'm satisfied. You're free. Go!
 * Beiloune:......... Erasing the classification of the world. Isn't that what you desired? I am leaving for the vast open world in search of Marlene........ Marlene will no longer be able to find our home by herself... To find me in the unmeasured spreadout world... So, I must search for her... The time is finite now. No matter how long it takes, not a doll but a true........ (walks away and vanishes)

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 and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to.

 * Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure, there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence…

 * In previous centuries, the Church was the great controller, dictating morality, stifling free expression and posing as conservator of all great art and music. Today we have television dictating fashions, thoughts, attitudes, objectives as once did the Church, using many of the same techniques but doing it so palatably that no one notices. Instead of 'sins' to keep people in line, we have fear of being judged unacceptable by our peers (by not wearing the right running shoes, not drinking the right kind of beer or wearing the wrong kind of deodorant), and fear of imposed insecurity concerning our own identities. Borrowing the Christian sole salvation concept, television tells people that only through exposure to TV can the sins of alienation and ostracism be absolved.

 * Even if a person is no longer struggling under the burden of religiously-induced guilt (or thinks he isn't), modern man still feels shame if he yields to his masturbatory desires. A man may feel robbed of his masculinity if he satisfies himself auto-erotically rather than engaging in the competitive game of woman chasing. A woman may satisfy herself sexually but yearns for the ego gratification that comes from the sport of seduction. Neither the quasi Casanova nor bogus vamp feels adequate when "reduced" to masturbation for sexual gratification; both would prefer even an inadequate partner. Satanically speaking, though, it is far better to engage in a perfect fantasy than to cooperate in an unrewarding experience with another person. With masturbation, you are in complete control of the situation.

 * Vandals, those who destroy and deface objects and property other than their own, should, when apprehended, be destroyed, or at least punished in a fitting manner. If a painting hanging in a museum is slashed, the perpetrator of that act should be eviscerated. If paint is used to deface, the defacer's countenance should be permanently dyed in an irregular and repellent manner. If a carefully tended shrub or plant is wantonly ripped up by the roots, the culprit's arm should be ripped out of its socket.

 * There is a beast inside of man that should be exercised - not exorcised.

 * A little child learns that if he wishes for something hard enough, it will come true. This is meaningful. Wishing indicates desire, whereas prayer is accompanied by apprehension. Scripture has twisted desire into lust, covetousness, and greed. Be as a child, and do not stifle desire, lest you lose touch with the first ingredient in the performance of magic.

 * The dream state is the birthplace of much of the future. Great thoughts are manifest upon awakening, and the mind that retains, in conscious form, these thoughts, shall produce much. But he who is guided by thoughts unrecognized is led into situations that will later be interpreted as "fate", "God's will", or accident.

 * Satanism does advocate sexual freedom, but only in the true sense of the word. Free love, in the Satanic concept, means exactly that - freedom to either be faithful to one person or to indulge your sexual desires with as many others as you feel is necessary to satisfy your particular needs.

 * A masochist derives pleasure from being hurt; so denying the masochist his pleasure-through-pain hurts him just as much as actual physical pain hurts the non-masochist. The story of the truly cruel sadist illustrates this point: The masochist says to the sadist, "beat me." To which the merciless sadist replies, "NO!" If a person wants to be hurt and enjoys suffering, then there is no reason not to indulge him in his wont.

 * The term "sadist" in popular usage describes one who obtains pleasure from indiscriminate brutality. Actually, though, a true sadist is selective. He carefully chooses from the vast reserve of appropriate victims, and takes great delight in giving those who thrive on misery the fulfillment of their desires. The "well-adjusted" sadist is epicurean in selecting those on whom his energies will be well-spent!

 * Distrust "experts" unless it is obvious that their expertise is paying.

 * Be wary of advice from one who is less successful than yourself.

 * Every religion in the world that has destroyed people is based on love.

 * I've always been timid. I wait for the mating signal, yet I want to show my interest, but I'm too goddamn bashful to go for it! I have no sympathy for wolves. Why can't a man wait and see if there is any interest in them? Every woman wants to be pursued, it's a courting dance, a mating game and it should be that way, played out. The world is full of creeps.

 * Even though times have changed, and always will, man remains basically the same. For two thousand years man has done penance for something he never should have had to feel guilty about in the first place. We are tired of denying ourselves the pleasures of life which we deserve.

 * Mad dogs are destroyed, and they need help far more than the human who conveniently made froths at the mouth when irrational behavior is in order! It is easy to say, "So what! - these people are insecure, so they can't hurt me." But the fact remains - given the opportunity they would destroy you! Therefore, you have every right to (symbolically) destroy them, and if your curse provokes their actual annihilation, rejoice that you have been instrumental in ridding the world of a pest! If your success or happiness disturbs a person - you owe him nothing! He is made to be trampled under foot! If people had to take the consequences of their own actions, they would think twice!

 * My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born.

 * What good are friends if they can't do you any good?

 * Just as no two people are exactly the same in their choice of diet or have the same capacity for the consumption of food, sexual tastes and appetites vary from person to person. No person or society has the right to set limitations on the sexual standards or the frequency of sexual activity of another. Proper sexual conduct can only be judged within the context of each individual situation. Therefore, what one person considers sexually correct and moral may be frustrating to another. The reverse is also true; one person may have great sexual prowess, but it is unjust for him to belittle another whose sexual capacity may not equal his own, and inconsiderate for him to impose himself upon the other person, i.e., the man who has a voracious sexual appetite, but whose wife's sexual needs do not match his own. It is unfair for him to expect her to enthusiastically respond to his overtures; but she must display the same degree of thoughtfulness. In the instances when she does not feel great passion, she should either passively, but pleasantly, accept him sexually, or raise no complaint if he chooses to find his needed release elsewhere - including auto-erotic practices.

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

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/T-shirts

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was: delete. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

T-shirts
Orphan stub, could be made into a theme article. But it's not clear to me that this is worth keeping; certainly at a minimum we ought to require that the T-shirts quoted here meet some standard of notability, and I don't think these meet that standard. (If we don't insist on notability, this page has all the problems of Anonymous and the proverbs pages with little reward.) 121a0012 02:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closed. Result: delete (6 deletes, incl. 1 implicit; no dissent; no concerns addressed). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete unless "quotes" sourced. Sure, everyone has seen "I'm with stupid →", but how many have seen "186,000 miles per second is not only a good idea, it's the law"? (The latter usually includes Einstein in police garb — very amusing, in a science-geek way.) No sourcing makes it possible for anyone to claim a slogan or witticism as a T-shirt or bumper sticker, which I believe is totally unacceptable. (I won't even get into how easy it is these days to create your own T-shirts and bumper stickers, making it possible for people to add vanity quotes from their own county-fair products.) I'm sure there are books out there that collect such sayings, so the task is not impossible. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 13:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with nominator - none of these are really notable T-shirt slogans. I think this article is also an advert spam magnet. David | Talk 13:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 23:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't know of any reasonable way to "source" quotes to a T-shirt, and as Jeff said, it's a simple matter for anyone to have a T-shirt made with whatever slogan they want. —LrdChaos (talk) 02:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Not notable. Google doesn't even find this guy at all, although it seems to know several other people of the same name. No WP entry. 121a0012 03:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closed. Result: delete (6 deletes, incl. 1 implicit; no dissent). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article claims this person is an assistant dean at "Vermont Academy", which I suspect is this private college-prep school. (I can't confirm it just now, as I can't seem to get a response from the school's website.) College is usually the minimum level at which faculty may be considered notable, unless there is substantial evidence otherwise. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Laurent
No way to determine notability of subject. "Laurent" is a common French given name (equivalent to "Lawrence"). The first quote given returns only this page in Google. The second quote given is normally attributed to Chief Seattle. 121a0012 03:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closed. Result: delete (4 deletes, incl. 1 implicit; no dissent). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I was going to recommend "SD Unremarkable subject", as this really sounds like notes from a student whose native tongue is not English ("Englishlesson" implying a Germanic native tongue, "Chiefton" instead of "Chieftain", and the oddity of the "Saad" quote). But I couldn't resist a little multilingual searching. Given the French name, I dug up two French versions of this quote:
 * Ceci nous le savons, la terre n'appartient pas aux Êtres humains, ce sont les Êtres humains qui appartiennent À la terre.
 * [roughly] This we know: the Earth does not belong to human Beings; it is human Beings who belong to the Earth.
 * … a Terre n'appartient pas à l'Homme, l'Homme appartient à la Terre…
 * … the Earth doesn't belong to Man, Man belongs to the Earth…
 * The first was from a Canadian conservation project whose site no longer had the quote, and the second was from a discussion board. Neither said anything about "Laurent" or gave any attribution or source. I poked around fr:WP, de:WP, and de:WQ, but found nothing obvious. (fr:WQ is still shut down, of course.). The closest thing I found in Google was a mention of a Dr. Eugene C. Laurent, a member of the Environmental Commission of Trinidad and Tobago, but I found no quotes attached to this person. I'll let it go for now. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Czar Nicholas II
Only one quote, unsourced; the only two sources Google knows about are an Armenian Web site of unclear reliability, and this WQ article. It has a rather apocryphal feeling to me. 121a0012 03:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

About Me
H ello there. Very nice to meet you. I'm Cade. I'm currently engaged to a wonderful guy named Kevin who I met thanks to our mutual love of books. I'm a vegetarian and I am an avid collector of many, many things. In fact I like to say that I am a collector of collections as a whole because there is just too many things to list. I'm pretty open-minded to all walks of life but I live by the conviction that those who deserve respect will also offer respect. This is my Wikipedia user page.

Joseph Banks

Sir Joseph Banks, 1st Baronet, PRS (February 13, 1743 – June 19, 1820) was an English naturalist and botanist.

Sourced

 * [General literacy would] teach [the poor] to despise their lot in life, instead of making them good servants in agriculture, and other laborious employment to which their rank in society has destined them;... it would enable them to read seditious pamphlets, vicious books, and publications against Christianity; it would render them insolent.

A.D. Patel

Ambalal Dahyabhai Patel (March 13, 1905 – October 1, 1969) was an Indo-Fijian politician, farmers' leader and founder and leader of the National Federation Party. Patel was uncompromisingly committed to a vision of an independent Fiji, with full racial integration. He was one of the first to advocate a republic, an ideal not realized in his lifetime. He also advocated a common voters' roll and opposed the communal franchise that characterized, and continues to characterize, Fijian politics.

Quotes

 * Communal franchise is wrong in principle and harmful in practice; the time has come in Fiji for all races to get out of the thin water-tight compartments and start thinking in terms of residents of Fiji.
 * Statement in defense of common roll (1929).

 * First and foremost must come the recognition and the realization that education is not a luxury in colonial areas, but it is as much a necessity as in free countries. It is an amenity to which every citizen has a right. It is a social service which should be the first charge on the finances of a country. And in advanced countries it is not uncommon for the state to spend as much as 25 per cent of their revenue on education.
 * 1954 statement calling for more spending on education.

 * There is a clear acknowledgement all over the world that we should not teach people to read and then to leave them without literature. For they would then relapse into a dreary and ultimately dangerous state of half-education, in which they would be easily satisfied by crude semi-pictorial approximations of the strip cartoon and by the abundant supply of degenerate literature which destroys, rather than promotes, a capacity to face the problems of the world with skill and courage
 * His argument for the introduction of a colony-wide library system in 1955.

 * I believe that it is of the utmost importance that we all should feel and inculcate among the people and circulate amongst them what I call a sense of compatriotism. We should all feel that we are all nationals of one country, whatever our race, colour, creed, or sect…
 * January 1964 call for “One Country, One Nation, One People”

 * We need university education in Fiji and must seriously think about starting post secondary education in Fiji. In the near future we hope to see a university college in Fiji and ultimately a fully fledged university
 * During 1964 budget debate, he called for the establishment of a university in Fiji.

 * B. V. Lal, A vision for change: AD Patel and the politics of Fiji, Australian National University, ACT, 1997.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (film)

The Adventures of Robin Hood is a 1938 film about Prince John and the Norman Lords who begin oppressing the Saxon masses in King Richard's absence, and a Saxon lord who fights back as the outlaw leader of a rebel guerrilla army.
 * Directed by Michael Curtiz and William Keighley. Written by Norman Reilly Raine and Seton I. Miller.

Only the rainbow can duplicate its brilliance! taglines

Prologue

 * In the year of Our Lord 1191, when Richard the Lion-Heart set forth to drive the infidels from the Holy Land, he left the regency of his kingdom to his trusted friend Longchamps, instead of to his treacherous brother, Prince John.
 * Bitterly resentful, John hoped for some disaster to befall Richard, so that he, with the help of his Norman barons, might seize the kingdom for himself. And then, on a luckless day for the Saxons...

Dialogue

 * Sir Guy: What's your name, you Saxon dog?
 * Much: A better one than yours!
 * Dickon Malbête [shaking Much]: Look to your manners! This is Sir Guy of Gisbourne.
 * Much: Sir Guy or the Devil! There's little to choose between them.
 * Sir Guy: What's your name?
 * Much: Much the Miller's Son.
 * Sir Guy: Don't you know it's death to kill the King's deer?
 * Much: Yes, and death from hunger if I don't, thanks to you and the rest of you Norman cutthroats at Nottingham Castle.
 * Dickon Malbête [striking him]: Be quiet, you!
 * Much: I won't be quiet! You can kill me if you like, but not till I've had my say. You can beat and starve us poor Saxons now, but when King Richard escapes, he'll take you by the scruff of the neck and fling you into the sea!
 * [Guy raises his mace to kill Much, but an arrow dashes his weapon aside]
 * Sir Guy: What the devil?
 * Robin Hood: Come now, Sir Guy. You'd not kill a man for telling the truth, would you?
 * Sir Guy: If it amused me, yes!

 * Prince John: Well, this is what we Normans like - good food, good company, and a beautiful woman to flatter me. Eh, Lady Marian? Was it worth while, coming up from London with me to see what stout fellows our Nottingham friends are? Take Sir Guy of Gisbourne now, one of our most renowned defenders of the realm.
 * Lady Marian: Must I take him, Your Highness?
 * Prince John: Why, you like him, don't you?
 * Lady Marian: Well, he's a Norman, of course.
 * Prince John: Is that the only reason for liking him?
 * Lady Marian: Isn't that reason enough for a royal ward, who must obey her guardian?
 * Prince John: Nay, I'd not force you, my lady. But he's our most powerful friend in these shires...and he's already in love with you. If I could promise him marriage to a royal ward, it might help my plans.
 * Lady Marian: Perhaps when I know him better.
 * Prince John: Of course. You're a very wise young woman.

 * Prince John: Any more objections to the new tax from our Saxon friends?
 * Noble: Objections, Your Highness? With a Saxon dangling from every gallows tree between here and Charnwood?
 * Prince John: Well said, Sir Knight - but not too many, mind, else we'll have nobody left to till our land or pay the tax.

 * Robin Hood [to Prince John, carrying a deer over his shoulders]: Greetings, Your Highness! You know, you really should teach Gisbourne hospitality. No sooner do I enter his castle doors with a bit of of meat than his starving servants try to snatch it from me! You should feed them, Gisbourne; they'll work better. [flinging the deer down onto the table in front of Prince John] With the royal compliments of your brother King Richard, God bless him!
 * Prince John: By my faith, but you're a bold rascal. Robin... I like you.

 * Robin Hood: I hope my lady had a pleasant journey from London?
 * Lady Marian: What you hope can hardly be important.
 * Robin Hood: Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity her manners don't match her looks, Your Highness!
 * Prince John: [laughing] Do you hear that, gentlemen? Here's poor Gisbourne so in love with Marian that he daren't say "Boo!" to her, and this saucy fellow gives her better than she sends!

 * Prince John: Bring Sir Robin food! At once, do you hear? Such impudence must support a mighty appetite.
 * Robin Hood: True enough, your Highness. We Saxons have little to fatten on by the time your tax gatherers are through.
 * Sheriff of Nottingham: So, you think you're overtaxed, do you?
 * Robin Hood: Overtaxed, overworked, and paid off with a knife, a club, or a rope.
 * Lady Marian: Why, you speak treason!
 * Robin Hood: Fluently.

 * Robin Hood: What else do you call a man who takes advantage of the King's misfortune to seize his power? Now, with the help of this sweet band of cutthroats, you'll try to grind a ransom for him out of every helpless Saxon, a ransom that will be used, not to release Richard, but to buy your way to the throne.
 * Sir Guy: Let me ram those words down his throat, Your Highness!
 * Prince John: Oh, no. Later. Let him spout for the moment. [To Robin] And what do you propose to do?
 * Robin Hood: I'll organize a revolt, exact a death for a death, and I'll never rest until every Saxon in this shire can stand up free men, and strike a blow for Richard and England.
 * Prince John: Have you finished?
 * Robin Hood: I'm only just beginning! From this night on, I'll use every means in my power to fight you!

 * Robin Hood: I've called you here as freeborn Englishmen, loyal to our king. While he reigned over us, we lived in peace. But since Prince John has seized the regency, Guy of Gisbourne and the rest of his traitors have murdered and pillaged. You've all suffered from their cruelty - the ear-loppings, the beatings, the blindings with hot irons, the burning of our farms and homes, the mistreatment of our women. It's time to put an end to this! Now, this forest is wide. It can shelter and clothe and feed a band of good, determined men - good swordsmen, good archers, good fighters. Men, if you're willing to fight for our people, I want you! Are you with me?
 * Merry Men: Aye!
 * Robin Hood: Then kneel, and swear this oath: that you, the free men of this forest, swear to despoil the rich only to give to the poor; to shelter the old and the helpless; to protect all women, rich or poor, Norman or Saxon; and swear to fight for a free England; to protect her loyally until the return of our king and sovereign, Richard the Lion-Heart; and swear to fight to the death against our oppressors!
 * Merry Men: We do! We solemnly swear!

 * Little John: He's well named "Friar Tuck". It would take half the deer in Sherwood Forest to fill that cavern.
 * Friar Tuck: And twice that to fill your empty head!

 * Robin Hood: [to Will Scarlet, referring to Friar Tuck] It's all right; he's one of us.
 * Will Scarlet: [about Friar Tuck] One of us? He looks like three of us!
 * Friar Tuck: [Drawing his sword truculently] Ay - and equal to a full dozen!

 * Robin Hood: Are you really interested in learning why I turned outlaw? Or are you afraid of the truth, or of me perhaps?
 * Lady Marian: I am afraid of nothing, least of all you.

 * Lady Marian: But you've taken Norman lives.
 * Robin Hood: Yes, those that deserved it, cruel and unjust.
 * Lady Marian: You're a strange man.
 * Robin Hood: Strange? Because I can feel for beaten, helpless people?
 * Lady Marian: No. You're strange because you want to do something about it. You're willing to defy Sir Guy, even Prince John himself, to risk your own life. And one of those men was a Norman!
 * Robin Hood: Norman or Saxon, what's that matter? It's injustice I hate, not the Normans.
 * Lady Marian: But it's lost you your rank, your lands. It's made you a hunted outlaw when you might have lived in comfort and security. What's your reward for all this?
 * Robin Hood: Reward? You just don't understand, do you?
 * Lady Marian: I'm sorry. I do begin to see... a little... now.
 * Robin Hood: You do? Then that's reward enough. [he kisses her hand]

 * Sir Guy: Now that you've robbed us and had your fill of insulting us, we wish to leave. Come, Lady Marian.
 * Robin Hood: My own men will escort my Lady. But before you take leave of her, it might be as well if you thanked her for saving your life.
 * Sir Guy: My life?
 * Robin Hood: Do you think you would've left this forest alive if it hadn't been for her presence here? Peter! Errol! Take six men guide our loyal host and his nervous friend to the Nottingham road.
 * Sheriff of Nottingham: But our... our horses? Our... our clothes?
 * Robin Hood: You'll return to Nottingham as you are, on foot. This, Sir Guy, will at least be a lesson to you in humility if not in mercy. The rest of your people will be returned tomorrow.
 * Sir Guy: But the Lady Marian?
 * Robin Hood: You'd best be started, before I've a change of mind.
 * [Robin's men draw their swords]
 * Sheriff of Nottingham: [to Sir Guy] I think we'd better go!

 * Lady Marian: He is different from anyone I've ever known. He's, well he's brave and he's reckless, and yet he's...gentle and kind. He's not brutal like...tell me, when you are in love, is it, well, is it hard to think of anybody but, but one person?
 * Bess: Yes, indeed my lady, and sometimes it's a bit of trouble sleeping.
 * Lady Marian: I know, but it's a nice kind of not sleeping.
 * Bess: And it affects your appetite too. Not that I've noticed it's done that to you, except when he was in the dungeon waiting to be hanged.
 * Lady Marian: And does it make you want to be with him all the time?
 * Bess: Yes, and when he's with you, your legs are as weak as water. Tell me, my lady. When he looks at you, do you feel a kind of prickly feeling like goosey pimples running all up and down your spine?...Then there's not a doubt of it.
 * Lady Marian: Doubt of what?
 * Robin Hood: [entering] That you're in love. I couldn't help overhearing about that 'prickly feeling.' I'm very glad I did come.
 * Lady Marian: That, that was a game. Now you've got to go at once.
 * Robin Hood: Game, eh? Well, couldn't I join in? Of course, I probably wouldn't be as good at it as, uh, [he playfully pinches Bess' chin] this pretty young girl, but I could do my best.
 * Lady Marian: Bess, will you leave us? Please.
 * Robin Hood: Now let's see, where does this game begin? Oh, I know. It's simple. We'll start where you are in love with me. You are, aren't you? Because I am with you. Terribly. That's why I came. I had to see you.
 * Lady Marian: You must go at once and I don't love you.
 * Robin Hood: Oh! You sure?
 * Lady Marian: Yes.
 * Robin Hood: Very well then, I'll go. [Robin retreats to the window to descend the ivy.] This is rather unfriendly of you, exposing me to my enemies like this....Goodbye, my lady.
 * Lady Marian: Robin!
 * Robin Hood: Yes?
 * Lady Marian: Please.
 * Robin Hood: Then you do love me, don't you? Don't you?
 * Lady Marian: You know I do.
 * Robin Hood: Well, that's different. [Robin re-enters the window and they share an embrace and kiss.]
 * Lady Marian: You know you're very impudent.
 * Robin Hood: Me?
 * Lady Marian: You are. And when my real guardian King Richard finds out about your being in love with me...
 * Robin Hood: I know, he'll make me court jester.
 * Lady Marian: He won't. He'll stick your funny head on London Gate.
 * Robin Hood: And a very fine decoration it will be, my bold Norman beauty.
 * Lady Marian: I'm not bold.
 * Robin Hood: But you're a Norman...And you are a beauty. You are the most beautiful...
 * Lady Marian: And you're leaving here at once. Please darling! Every minute you're here, you're in danger.
 * Robin Hood: I'll go...

 * Robin Hood: ...Marian, will you come with me?
 * Lady Marian: To Sherwood?
 * [He nods]
 * Robin Hood: I've nothing to offer you but a life of hardship and danger. But we'd be together.
 * Lady Marian: But, Robin, dear.
 * Robin Hood: I know. It's asking a lot. But who knows how long it will be before Richard returns. Friar Tuck could marry us. Will you?
 * Lady Marian: Because I love you Robin, I'd come. Even the danger would mean nothing if you were with me.
 * Robin Hood: Then you will.
 * Lady Marian: No...I could help much more by watching for treachery here and leaving you free to protect Richard's people until he returns. Now do you see why you have to go back to your men alone?

 * Sir Guy: You're a very charming woman, Marian, but not exactly clever.

 * Sir Guy: Not only has she consorted with this Saxon rebel, found guilty of outlawry, theft, murder, abduction, and high treason, but she has betrayed her own Norman people. Are you not ashamed, my Lady Marian?
 * Lady Marian: Yes, I am, bitterly, but it's the shame that I'm a Norman, after seeing the things my fellow countrymen have done to England. At first, I wouldn't believe. Because I was a Norman, I wouldn't let myself believe that the horrors you inflicted on the Saxons were just and right. I know now why you tried so hard to kill this outlaw whom you despise. It's because he was the one man in England who protected the helpless against a lot of beasts who were drunk on human blood. And now you intend to murder your own brother.
 * Prince John: You'll be sorry you interfered.
 * Lady Marian: Sorry? I'd do it again if you killed me for it.
 * Prince John: A prophetic speech, my lady, for that is exactly what is going to happen to you.
 * Lady Marian: You wouldn't dare. I am a royal ward of King Richard, and no one but the King himself has the right to condemn me to death.
 * Prince John: You are quite right, my dear... and it shall be a king, who will order your execution for high treason, exactly forty-eight hours from now. Take her away.

 * Little John: [to the King, who is disguised as an abbot] What? Are you friendly to our good King Richard?
 * King Richard: I love no man better.

 * Robin Hood: Did I upset your plans?
 * Sir Guy: You've come to Nottingham once too often.
 * Robin Hood: When this is over, my friend, there'll be no need for me to come again.

 * King Richard: And I further banish from my realm all injustices and oppressions which have burdened my people. And I pray that under my rule, Normans and Saxons alike will share the rights of Englishmen. What about you Robin?
 * Robin Hood: My sword is yours, sire, now and always.
 * King Richard: Is there nothing England's king can grant the outlaw who showed him his duty to his country?
 * Robin Hood: Yes, your majesty: a pardon for the men of Sherwood.
 * King Richard: Granted with all my heart!
 * [the men cheer]
 * King Richard: But, uh, is there nothing for yourself?
 * Robin Hood: [looking at Marian] There's but one thing else, sire.
 * King Richard: [to Marian] And, uh, do you too wish...?
 * Lady Marian: More than anything in the world, sire.
 * King Richard: Kneel, Robin Hood. Arise, Baron of Locksley, Earl of Sherwood and Nottingham, and lord of all the lands and manors appertaining thereto.  My first command to you, my Lord Earl, is to take in marriage the hand of the Lady Marian. What say you to that, Baron of Locksley?
 * Robin Hood: May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, Sire!

Rupert Brooke

Rupert Chawner Brooke (3 August 1887 – 23 April 1915) was an English poet.

Quotes

 * "And when we die, All’s over that is ours; and life burns on Through other lovers, other lips," said I —"Heart of my heart, our heaven is now, is won!" "We are earth’s best, that learnt her lesson here, Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!" we said.
 * "The Hill" (1910)

 * Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
 * Reported in The Complete Works of Rupert Brooke (Delphi Classics, 2013), p. 123

 * Oh! Death will find me, long before I tire Of watching you; and swing me suddenly Into the shade and loneliness and mire Of the last land! There, waiting patiently, One day, I think, I'll feel a cool wind blowing, See a slow light across the Stygian tide, And hear the Dead about me stir, unknowing, And tremble. And I shall know that you have died, And watch you, a broad-browed and smiling dream, Pass, light as ever, through the lightless host, Quietly ponder, start, and sway, and gleam— Most individual and bewildering ghost!— And turn, and toss your brown delightful head Amusedly, among the ancient Dead.
 * "Sonnet" (1908–1910)

 * And in my flower-beds, I think, Smile the carnation and the pink.
 * "The Old Vicarage, Grantchester" (1912)

 * Stands the Church clock at ten to three? And is there honey still for tea?
 * "The Old Vicarage, Grantchester" (1912), concluding lines

 * Fish (fly-replete, in depth of June, Dawdling away their wat'ry noon) Ponder deep wisdom, dark or clear, Each secret fishy hope or fear. Fish say, they have their Stream and Pond; But is there anything Beyond? This life cannot be All, they swear, For how unpleasant, if it were! One may not doubt that, somehow, Good Shall come of Water and of Mud; And, sure, the reverent eye must see A Purpose in Liquidity. We darkly know, by Faith we cry, The future is not Wholly Dry. Mud unto mud!—Death eddies near— Not here the appointed End, not here! But somewhere, beyond Space and Time, Is wetter water, slimier slime! And there (they trust) there swimmeth One Who swam ere rivers were begun, Immense, of fishy form and mind, Squamous, omnipotent, and kind; And under that Almighty Fin, The littlest fish may enter in. Oh! never fly conceals a hook, Fish say, in the Eternal Brook, But more than mundane weeds are there, And mud, celestially fair; Fat caterpillars drift around, And Paradisal grubs are found; Unfading moths, immortal flies, And the worm that never dies. And in that Heaven of all their wish, There shall be no more land, say fish.
 * "Heaven" (1913)

 * Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead! There’s none of these so lonely and poor of old,  But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold. These laid the world away; poured out the red Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be  Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene,  That men call age; and those who would have been, Their sons, they gave, their immortality.Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us, for our dearth,  Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain, Honour has come back, as a king, to earth,  And paid his subjects with a royal wage; And Nobleness walks in our ways again;  And we have come into our heritage.
 * "The Dead" (1914)

 * If I should die, think only this of me: That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be  In that rich earth a richer dust conceal’d; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,  Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England’s, breathing English air.  Wash’d by the rivers, blest by suns of home.And think, this heart, all evil shed away,  A pulse in the eternal mind, no less    Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;  And laughter, learnt of friends, and gentleness,    In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
 * "The Soldier" (1914)

Quotes about Rupert Brooke

 * You ask about Rupert Brooke. Considering we were on Christian name terms, I did not know him well, though enough to contradict the legends that the press are weaving round his name him. He was serene, humorous, intelligent and beautiful—as charming an acquaintance as one could desire—and latterly most friendly. But he was essentially hard; his hatred of slosh went rather too deep and affected the eternal water-springs, and I don't envy anyone who applied to him for sympathy. The sonnets, on which his reputation is evidently to be based, differ from all his previous work, which was rebellious and unorthodox. They were inspired by his romantic thoughts about war, not by his knowledge of it; that also, had he been spared to gain it, he was hoping to express, and, knowing his grim and grotesque realism, I feel sure that he would have expressed something besides the Holiness in which—to me so inappropriately—his work concludes. I don't know whether the above conveys anything to you. If it errs on the side of unkindness he himself wouldn't like it the less, for he was extraordinarily free of conceit and sincerely desired to be done by as he did. But he goes down to posterity as a sort of St Sebastian, haloed by the Dean of St Paul's, and hymned by the Morning Post as the evangelist of anti-Germanism. As far as I dare speak for Rupert, how he would hate it, or rather laugh at it.
 * E. M. Forster to Malcolm Darling (2 August 1915), quoted in Selected Letters of E. M. Forster. Volume One, 1879–1920, eds. Mary Lago and P. N. Furbank (1983), p. 227

 * I began Rupert Brooke's poems and the memoir at the beginning. I was extraordinarily impressed, particularly by the letters – they, I think, bring out more than anything the situation I have tried to show in my editorial, that the beauty of living has gone out of the youngest generation... I felt very envious reading, particularly the parts about Rugby and friendship. I do honestly think that that is something that went out of the world in 1914, at least for one generation.
 * Evelyn Waugh, diary entry (22 November 1921), quoted in The Diaries of Evelyn Waugh, ed. Michael Davie (1976), p. 147

 * We laid him in a cool and shadowed grove One evening in the dreamy scent of thyme Where leaves were green, and whispered high above— A grave as humble as it was sublime;There, dreaming in the fading deeps of light— The hands that thrilled to touch a woman's hair; Brown eyes, that loved the Day, and looked on Night, A soul that found at last its answered Prayer. ...There daylight, as a dust, slips through the trees. And drifting, gilds the fern around his grave— Where even now, perhaps, the evening breeze Steals shyly past the tomb of him who gaveNew sight to blinded eyes; who sometimes wept— A short time dearly loved; and after,—slept.
 * John Gillespie Magee Jr., "Sonnet to Rupert Brooke" (1938)

Talk:Fact

Misplaced quote
Seems to me that the quote:

 * "If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect, then why practice?" - Unknown

Has nothing to do with Fact and Theory - the word 'practice' in this context means 'systematic training by multiple repetitions' rather than 'a customary way of operation or behavior'.

Move to fact - proposal
I propose to move this article Fact and theory and theory to fact. There seems to be enough quotes to have to articles here, on the subject of fact and on theory. Both have separate Wikipedia articles and also separate articles in other Wikiquotes.

Now I already adjusted the interwiki's, see here, and will start a separate article on theory. -- Mdd (talk) 19:33, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

 * In theory, you are right. In fact, there are some good quotes about the relation between the two concepts which might appear of either or both of the resulting pages. I support the theory of splitting this article into what are, in fact, two different subjects. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:07, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

''The television page is a theme page. Theme pages have a different layout from other Wikiquote people pages. Please feel free to read for yourself. You may also want to create an Archive for your User talk page. Sweet Pinkette 06:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)''
 * Guide_to_layout Sweet Pinkette 06:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Ah, that's where that came from! I'm afraid you've run afoul of one of many problems we have at Wikiquote due to a shortage of regular editors. Despite the fact that Guide to layout, clearly marked as an unfinished draft, is included in our standard welcome message, it isn't as current or well-maintained as Templates and its subpages, which have been the de facto formatting guidelines for all genre pages for nearly two years. The discrepancies between the Guide and actual practice are obviously a serious oversight. Thank you for calling attention to this.

 * Please review Templates and Templates/Themes for the most current formatting guidelines. Meanwhile, I will see what we can do about bringing the two sets of guidelines into sync. I apologize for the confusion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * By the way, I do have a set of user-talk archives, with an "ARCHIVE INDEX" at the top of my user talk page, providing direct links to every discussion since I first came here in 2004. I frequently use it to consult old discussions. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Hey there. Thanks for your timely response.  Early this morning I did in fact come across a page that contained a similar template, but I thought it was no longer in effect since the Template page that is currently in its editing stages was newer, ostensibly.  Although I do like the former template better I can see how the latter is more consistent with Wikiquote guidelines and pages.  Thanks for setting me straight.  By the by, I have a question about some quotes in bold text featured in some Wikiquote pages.  Is there are any particular reason for that?  And is that standard practice?  It isn't very pleasing to the eye and I've seen a few pages like this (see Marilyn Monroe), but I didn't want to act on them because I felt I should make sure first.  Thanks a billion, have a great week!  ☺  ~Sweet Pinkette , 16:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Bolding selected quotes based on users' preferences has been around since the early days of Wikiquote. I'm not particularly happy about it myself, but it's fairly popular and not likely to change in the foreseeable future. The most recent substantive discussion on this issue that I recall can be found at Village pump archive 9. One problem this creates is that some editors believe our style is to bold all quotes, but not bold source and context information. Any time you see that, you are invited to be bold yourself and "reset" the formatting so that no quotes are bolded. It's too easy to get carried away with this POV (IMHO) styling. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I personally feel it's a bad idea, especially since, as Wikiquote grows, there will probably be more problems arising from the neutrality of certain quotes. I mean neutrality is already the case with the Television page and it only has one bolded quote.  I can't imagine why it's allowed, especially since the templates already call for organization, alphabetization, chronologication (that's probably not a word but you know what I mean).  The whole thing seems a little folly to me.  I guess we'll see what happens.  Anyway, thanks for everything.  I'll stop bugging you now. ^__^  ~Sweet Pinkette , 2:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Signature formatting causing talk page problems
I just noticed that the signatures in your talk page postings from around 13 March are creating formatting problems for the pages you've posted to. When you sign a post, the following HTML appears on the page:

I've marked in red the fact that surrounding your username you have two font elements, but only one closing font tag. Since that last tag closed the color but not the style and size, everything that follows one of your posts is rendered in size 2 ("small") and presumably in "Comic Sans" (although I don't see that in my browser). You can see an example of this on a previous version of my talk page (after your second post under "Television quotation marks"). I see that it is currently occurring on your talk page as well.

I would recommend you use the following instead:

or better yet, the HTML 4.0 / XHTML version:

Note that I replaced the HTML bold tags with wiki markup. I said I would recommend this, except that my experiments with this signature seem to lose the "Pink" color, and don't respond either to hexadecimal color codes or the use of the HTML 4.0 standard "Fuschia" instead of "Pink". This may be because the style for wiki links overrides the surrounding font or span tags, although I don't understand why it doesn't do this for your use of two separate font elements. This is the kind of problem one faces when one tries to use fancy HTML markup in one's signature. One cannot expect it to look the way it's intended except solely in one's own browser, because of the incredibly variable implementations of pre-XHTML element rendering. (Even XHTML implementation and anything but the most common typefaces can be iffy. In Firefox 2 on my system, I don't even see the "Comic Sans" face, despite having it installed on my system and working for some sites and pages.)

In any case, I most definitely do recommend that, if you are going to experiment with fancy markup in your signature, you do some sandbox testing first, including text before and after your signature, to avoid the basic problem of unmatched tags that can alter an entire talk page following your post. I also ask that you check your signed posts from 13 March onward and correct any other signatures that are currently messing up those pages.

Let me know if you have any questions about this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:50, 12 April 2007 (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 Sweet Pinkette. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sweet Pinkette~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 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
