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 Saa18. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Saa18~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.

West Bengal

West Bengal is a state in eastern India on the Bay of Bengal and is the nation's fourth-most populous state, with over 91 million inhabitants. It was formed during the partition of Bengal between India and Pakistan during the partition of India at the end of British rule. It is bordered by the countries of Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, and the Indian states of Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Sikkim, and Assam. The state capital is Kolkata (Calcutta), the seventh-largest city in India.

Quotes

 * "What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow."
 * Gopal Krishna Gokhle, from

 * It is obviously an advantage in the sixteenth century Bengal to be a Moor, in as much as the Hindus daily become Moors to gain the favour of their rulers.
 * Barbosa, The Book of Duarte Barbosa, II, p.148. quoted from Lal, K. S. (1990). Indian muslims: Who are they.

 * There’s nothing in common between the East Bengalis and the West Bengalis. Between us and the East Bengalis, on the other hand, there’s religion in common. The Partition of 1947 was a very good thing.
 * Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, April 1972 interview to Oriana Fallaci, as quoted in Interviews with History and Conversations with Power (2011).

 * One of the dreams that have inspired me and given a purpose to my life is that of a great and undivided Bengal … a Bengal that is above all sects and groups and is the home alike of the Muslim, the Hindu, the Christian and the Buddhist.
 * Nearly a decade before he formed the Indian National Army (INA), Netaji wrote this passionate message to his fellow Bengalis [1 ]

 * Haig writes that “it is evident, from the numerical superiority in Eastern Bengal of the Muslims… that at some period an immense wave of proselytization must have swept over the country and it is most probable that the period was the period of Jalaluddin Muhammad (converted son of Hindu Raja Ganesh) during whose reign of seventeen years (1414-1431)… hosts of Hindus are said to have been forcibly converted to Islam”.81 With regard to these conversions, Dr. Wise writes that “the only condition he offered were the Koran or death… many Hindus fled to Kamrup and the jungles of Assam, but it is nevertheless probable that more Muhammadans were added to Islam during these seventeen years (1414-31) than in the next three hundred years”.
 * Wolseley Haig, C.H.I., III, p. 267. quoted from Lal, K. S. (1992). The legacy of Muslim rule in India. New Delhi: Aditya Prakashan. Chapter 6

 * It is my firm belief that if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolator among the respectable classes of Bengal thirty years hence.
 * Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay, Letter written to his father in 1836. Quoted in Indian Church History Review, December 1973, p. 187. Quoted from Goel, S. R. (2016). History of Hindu-Christian encounters, AD 304 to 1996. Chapter 13. ISBN 9788185990354

 * This is where, between 1956-57 and 1966-67, 46.9 per cent of India’s exports left the country and where 30.4 per cent of the imports arrived… The Mogul rulers of India knew Bengal as their Paradise on earth, and this certainly was’nt because it was comfortable to live in. The British soon came to the same conclusion and Charles Stewart had decided by 1813 that ‘The province of Bengal is one of the most valuable acquisitions that was ever made by any nation.’ It has always been a source of profit. In 1964, West Bengal was producing 95 per cent of India’s jute, 92 per cent of its razor blades, 87 per cent of its electric fans, 80 per cent of its sewing machines, 78 per cent of its railway wagons, 74 per cent of its rubber shoes…
 * Geoffrey Moorhouse in Calcutta: the City Revisited, 1971, Penguin Books, p 133.

 * It is a fact that most of the corrupt come from OBCs and Scheduled Castes and now increasingly the Scheduled Tribes. I will give an example. One of the states with the least amount of corruption is state of West Bengal when the CPI(M) was there. And I must draw attention to the fact that in the last 100 years, nobody from OBC, SC and ST has come anywhere near to power. It is an absolutely clean state.
 * Ashis Nandy, 2013. Most of the Corrupt From SC/STs, OBCs: Ashis Nandy, Outlook India

 * I think that on the whole, the Muslim minority in West Bengal – which also, I think, suffers from from a feeling of frustration and a certain insecurity – is relatively more secure than the Hindu minority in East Bengal… Now take the proposal regarding exchange of population… it is completely opposed to our political economic, social and spirtual ideals. If you want to have an excahnge of population, then you must change the whole basis of not only this Government but of all that we have stood for these thirty odd years and during the movement for freedom in this country.
 * Jawaharlal Nehru in a speech in Parliament, New Delhi, on 7th August 1950.

 * This is the history of the people who speak Bengali, covering both present-day Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal and other Bengali-speaking areas of the country from the earliest recorded times to 1947 when the Indian subcontinent was partitioned into India and Pakistan, and nearly two-thirds of undivided Bengal went to Pakistan.
 * Nitish Sengupta in the Preface to the History of the Bengali-speaking People.

 * The extent to which this process of political organization of disadvantaged groups has occurred has varied a great deal between different parts of India… In West Bengal, for instance, effective organization of different groups under the leadership of the ‘left front’ parties has led to a significant change in the balance of political power, and this, in turn, has provided the basis for important social achievements, notably land reforms…West Bengal provides a good example of the possibility and rewards of land reform programmes (enhancing equity as well as the efficiency of local agriculture.)
 * Amartya Sen and Jean Dréze in India: Economic Development and Social Opportunity.

 * We investigated the working of a number of elementary schools from three districts of West Bengal… The problem is, in some ways, compounded by the fact that school teachers are now comparatively well paid – no longer the recipients of miserably exploitative wages... The salary of teachers in regular schools has gone up dramatically over recent years. This is an obvious cause for celebration at one level (indeed, I remember being personally involved, as a student at Presidency College fifty years ago, in agitations to raise the desperately low prevailing salaries of school teachers). But the situation is now very different. The big salary increases in recent years have not  only made school education vastly more expensive (making it much harder to offer regular school education to those who are still excluded from it), but have also tended to draw school teachers as a group further away from the families of children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. There is considerable evidence that the class barrier that deeply impairs the delivery of school education to the worst-off members of society is now further reinforced by the increase in economic and  between the teachers and the poorer (and less privileged) children
 * Amartya Sen,

 * “The fourteenth century was a period of expansion of Muslim authority in Bengal and the adjoining territories. A significant part was played in this process by the warrior saints who were eager to take up the cause of any persecuted community.  This often resulted (in clash) with the native authority, followed, almost invariably, by annexation…”  This also shows how elastic were the methods adopted by the Sufis.  They acted mostly as peaceful missionaries, but if they saw that the espousal of some just cause required military action, they were not averse to fighting.  “The Sufis… did not adopt the Ismaili technique of gradual conversion… They established their khanqahs and shrines at places which had already had a reputation for sanctity before Islam.  Thus some of the traditional i.e. (Hindu) gatherings were transformed into new festivals. (i.e. Muslim).  As a result of these efforts, Bengal in course of time became a Muslim land…”
 * Ishtiaq Husain Qureshi, The Muslim Community of the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent (610-1947), Monton & Co., S-Gravenhage, 1962, pp.70-71, 74-75. quoted from Lal, K. S. (1990). Indian muslims: Who are they.

 * “It is no use belittling the fact that people are coming from East Bengal to West Bengal because they find life in East Bengal intolerable.”
 * October 25, 1948, Dr. B. C. Roy, Premier of West Bengal, in: **Talib, S. G. S. (1950). Muslim League Attack on Sikhs and Hindus inthe Punjab, 1947. Amritsar: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.   253

 * The administration is hopelessly inefficient and dishonest and as no improvement can be expected in the course of things, the future of the Hindus here (Calcutta or Bengal) is  unspeakably dark.
 * Sir Jadunath Sarkar, letter on 1946 to Padam Bhushan Dr. G. S. Sardesai

 * The whole state of West Bengal seemed like a huge refugee camp, with its muddy roads jammed with endless lines for inoculations or registration cards.
 * Nevin S. Scrimshaw. Scrimshaw, quoted in Bass, G. J. (2014). The Blood telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a forgotten genocide. ch 14

 * This is a vast country, abounding in rice, and nowhere in the world have I seen any land where prices are lower than there; on the other hand it is a gloomy place, and the people of Khurasan call it “A hell full of good things.” I have seen fat fowls sold there at the rate of eight for a single dirham, young pigeons at fifteen to the dirham, and a fat ram sold for two dirhams. I saw too a piece of fine cotton cloth, of excellent quality, thirty cubits long, sold for two dinars, and a beautiful slave-girl for a single gold dinar, that is, two and a half gold dinars in Moroccan money. The first city in Bengal that we entered was Sudkawan [Satgaon or Chittagong], a large town on the coast of the great sea. Close by it the river Ganges, to which the Hindus go on pilgrimage, and the river Jun [Jumna, here obviously the Brahmaputra] unite and discharge together into the sea. They have a large fleet on the river, with which they make war on the inhabitants of the land of Laknawti.

Destroy All Humans!

Destroy All Humans! is a video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by THQ. The player controls Cryptosporidium-137, a member of the Furon race of aliens, who has come to Earth to harvest DNA from humans to continue the cloning process of his species.

Cryptosporidium

 * Any of those baboons lay ONE hairy finger on ME, I'll rip 'em a new asshole!
 * [referring to a cow] But they're covered in nipples!

 * What's shakin', Pox? You look a little... what's the word... constipated.

 * Okay, monkeys. You want a war? You got a war.

 * Don't get mad, get sadistic.

 * I think this calls for the JUMBO PROBE.

 * A Cryptosporidium captured by a buncha monkeys?! We gotta go in! We gotta crack some craniums! We gotta rescue me - him - he's gotta rescue me - I mean, we gotta - I gotta - brains, man - WHEN DO I GET TO BLOW THINGS UP?!

 * [disguised as Mayor of Rockwell] Greetings, fellow human agricultural engineers. There is nothing going on here. Everything is normal. Carry on with your pathetic human lives. That is all.

 * [disguised as Mayor of Rockwell] I kid the flying saucer freaks - but seriously, they add a lot of local colour to the community, don't they? I mean, without them, we'd have nobody to ostracize but the inbreeders! Badda-bing! Is this thing on?

 * [disguised as President Huffman] The truth is, America has been attacked. Not by little green men, but red - and our invaders are most definitely of this Earth. Despite the efforts of this administration, our nation has been infiltrated by Communists.

 * Attention, humans: I am Cryptosporidium of the planet Furon. This planet is now a territory of the Furon Empire. Resist THIS. [crushes Silhouette's head underfoot]

 * No more... blowing stuff up?

 * Pathetic Humans!

 * Snack time.

 * It's probin' time!

Orthopox

 * Now, then. I know what you're thinking: "What can I, a lowly novice, do to help bring about the destruction of Earth and the inevitable reign of the Furon Empire?!" Well, I'll tell you. It was in the earliest days of the Empire that we realized our species was doomed. Eons of waging war on inferior races with unregulated atomic weaponry had mutated our genes. We could not propagate, due to a complete and utter lack of genitalia. Fortunately, a Furon ship happened upon Earth on its way back from destroying the Martians. Human society was young and... nubile. Sailors on a foreign planet, letting off steam, one thing led to another... Long story short: every human being alive today has, buried deep within his genetic code, a strand of Furon DNA. Over the eons we've learned to clone ourselves, but with each iteration the information degrades, and the results are increasingly unpredictable. The Furon genes in humanity's DNA are ancient, uncorrupted. They represent the future of the Furon race. If only we can get at them...

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) Oh, don't mind me. I'm only a fictional character in a simulated universe, after all. I haven't anything better to do, really. I'm just a bunch of electrons floating around inside your console, and a few hundred kilobytes of data stored on your DAS disk. DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO MEEEE!

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) Well, it's your electric bill. You could turn the console off, you know. Haven't you ever heard of global warming?

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) Take a step outside the mothership. There's a whole planet full of feeble humans just waiting to be stomped on!

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) Didn't anyone tell you? The name of the game is "Destroy All Humans!", not "Screw Around On The Mothership!"

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) You know, you should be out destroying humans right now, instead of twiddling your thumbs!

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) Why don't you hurry up and eat your fish and chips and watch your television?!

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) You know, this isn't much fun for me. But I don't suppose you ever stopped to consider that, did you?! Oh, no! You just wandered away from the TV to do whatever it is you're doing, leaving me here talking to myself like some kind of pathetic loser, while you eat your chips and dip!

 * (After letting the game sit for a while) Anybody there? No? Well, take your time. All the time in the world. Lots and lots of time... (starts snoring)

 * So what would you like to upgrade, you little ball of unbridled aggression?

 * Saucer upgrades - excellent choice! Chicks dig a souped-up ride!

 * [about the saucer] Here's the keys, and do be careful with this one, 00-- I mean, Crypto.
 * [if the player can't afford upgrades] If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.

 * [if the player can't afford upgrades] Oh, and I suppose you expect me to just hand over upgrades for a song?!

 * [if the player can't afford upgrades] We are living in a material world, Crypto, and I am a material... err, Furon.

 * [if the player can't afford upgrades] Grease my palm, capiche?

 * [if the player can't afford upgrades] No DNA, no upgrade. Dem's the rules, partner.

 * [if the player can't afford upgrades] There's a sucker born every minute! But I had mine removed.

 * [if the player can't afford upgrades] I must look like the most gullible Furon in the universe!

 * Crypto! That human law-enforcement officer is attempting an unauthorized entry of your spacecraft! If those peabrains were to get their hands on your Quantum Deconstructor, they could rip a hole in the spacetime continuum! Oh, the Furonity! Vaporize them, Crypto!

 * Roswell, Rockwell... Ugh! That's the last time I take directions from a Cryptosporidium!

 * If I'd known you were going to behave like this, I would have rung the humans up ahead of time! "Hi, how's the family? Everything's super here, we'll most likely be by to invade you in the morning!" BRAINS, CRYPTO, TRY TO BE DISCREET!

 * Oh no, the crackpot is dead! Now you have no choice, you'll just have to find Bert Wither on your own.

 * Brains? ... Healthy green glow? ... Those human fools! Clearly, they've genetically altered these pathetic gasbags and turned them into radioactive, exploding zombie cows! Show them the folly of their mad science!

 * Robo-Prez is getting away! It looks like he's heading for the Coolidge Memorial! Or is that the Rutherford B. Hayes Monument? Oh, I should have kept a hold on that tourist map.

 * ROBO-PREZ! ROBO-PREZ! He's heading for the white building! No, the "other" white building! You know, the one with the statue of the tall ugly guy with the beard, he's, like, Amish or something!

 * Oh, how cute! Robo-Prez is all hurt, and he's picking up his brain-stem and heading home! Poor little Robo-Prez, everybody's so mean to him! FOLLOW HIM TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND CRUSH HIM LIKE A TIN CAN IN A TRASH COMPACTOR!

 * We cannot allow Sleepy Ernst to turn humanity into his own supply of science guinea pigs! They should be OUR guinea pigs!

 * Look out, it's an ambush! Circle the wagons! Throw me a shotgun! Get the womenfolk inside! Oh, I really must stop watching human television. Doh, screw it. DESTROY THEM ALL!

 * Crypto, the humans are trying to stop the movie! KILL THE BASTARDS! Have they no respect for art?

 * We can subjugate the humans to the reign of the Furon Empire! AHAHAHAHAHA- [coughs]

 * It's time to capture one of those Men in... Really-Dark-Brown, and give him a good probing. What do you say... up for a little fun?

 * Hmmm... passengers and compounds appear to made of carbon components. They must have gotten the soylent-green leather interior. Pricey option.

 * They've sent in their cyborgs! Can Steve Austin be far behind?

 * I detect military units approaching from the south with my... Military Unit Detector-O-Tron! Oh, just take my word for it!

 * We can peer into the minds of lower lifeforms via the cortex scan. Rip the illiterate thoughts from their pathetic little brains!

 * [after Crypto scans a cow] "Moo"? Primitive, yet profound. Scan another one!

 * What we need to do is find the dumbest, most malleable human in the area. Admittedly, the competition will be fierce. You'll just have to scan them all!

 * [in reference to the zombie cows] They must have gathered them for study. Can't imagine what they hope to learn.

Majestic Agents

 * In the name of Joe McCarthy and everything that's holy!

 * The truth is right here, biotch!

 * Aww, dammit, this fire's gonna ruin my suit!

 * Come back, so I can slap you on a dissection table!

 * Polly wanna goddamn cracker?!

 * Bite me!

 * [if shot at with anal probe] Ahh! You freak, leave my butt alone!

 * I know what you're thinking, ladies. And yes, I'm available.

 * What am I thinking? I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

 * Boy do I look good-- Scratch that, I look REAL good!

 * Man, I feel good. How good? Mmm, SO good!

 * I could take that guy. And that guy. And her.

 * Wonder what I'd look like in some other colour? I hear brown is the new black!

 * What if the other guys notice? Oh, who cares? Lace feels so comfortable under this suit!

 * I have to report to Hoover again. Please, GOD, let him be wearing pants this time!

 * Why does Silhouette give me these jobs? I wonder if it's because I hit on her at the Majestic Christmas Party?... Wait! No one's even supposed to know Silhouette's a chick! Scratch that thought!

 * (Checking the situation) Keep it together, it will be okay up there.
 * (Searching for Crypto) It's only matter of time.
 * (Searching for Crypto) After this is all over, you wanna get a drink or something?
 * (Fighting against Crypto) Don't move stop right there.
 * (Fighting against Crypto) Don't make me call Hoover.
 * (Standing by front) Yes.
 * (Standing by front) What?
 * (Standing by front) You're up to something?
 * (Standing by front) Can I help you?
 * (Standing by front) Please, step away from me.
 * (Bumping toward him) Look out or I'll make you look out.
 * (Bumping toward him) Watch it pal.
 * (Bumping toward him) Watch where you going.

Silhouette

 * Are you peeking into my head, little alien? Well, this cat's got claws, see, and I'm going to scratch your beady eyes out!

 * You can look, you little space freak, but you better not touch. Go on, just try it!

 * Nice pants. I hear white spandex wearing midgets are all the rage on Proxima Centauri.

 * I have double indemnity against these little space freaks, and it's time to collect on my policy!

 * All this power... and I still only make 76 cents for every dollar a man makes.

 * When I said domination, little did they know I meant GLOBAL domination - ruling the world, crushing all men under my boot heel, that sort of thing.

 * What am I doing? Oh yeah, the same thing I do every night - TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Bert Whither

 * [broadcasting from the SMCBS station] SMCBS will bring you further news as it unfolds. Good day, John and Jane America, from north to south, from sea to shining sea. This is Bert Whither, coming to you live from a secure SMCBS studio at an undisclosed location of America's sunshine capital, Santa Modesta, with a special news bulletin. For years, America has been a beacon of hope to the world. But today comes disturbing proof: our very way of life is under attack! Our great nation devoured from within by a malignant tumor of corruption! Yes, you heard it here first. The very heart of power in the United States of America is now cancerous! Its malevolent might, bent to a crooked will! The insidious nature of this cancer, right after a word from our sponsor.

 * Unease sweeps the country like a fever! Police flout civil liberties, arrest people without cause, even brazenly engage in criminal and unconstitutional behavior! I have here a secret affidavit, signed by the chief of the Santa Modesta police department, attesting not only to the existence of these abuses, but to their orchestration by an agency of our own federal government! Up to now, many Americans believed such a thing could never happen here in the land of liberty. But happen it has! More to come, after these commercial messages.

 * The federal agency behind the new terror on our streets, the terror of cops gone bad! But if power is corrupt, what of the government responsible? SMCBS has acquired extensive documentary footage: shadowy agents in reasonably-priced black suits in Rockwell, Santa Modesta, even Capitol City, shown here abducting innocent citizens in unmarked black sedans! No arrest records exist, yet to date, over eleven hundred people have disappeared, their families kept in the dark, and still the U.S. government remains silent! It refuses to acknowledge these abductions ever took place! Why has our government deserted us?! Stay tuned!

 * We have only a few moments until the army destroys our building. They're deploying tanks and-- Good Lord, giant robots! We cannot survive for long! But in these moments, I want to share a new hope. SMCBS correspondents have uncovered something incredible! For the first time in history, proof that an alien race has visited Earth, and apparently, repeated attempts to communicate their message, to "befriend all humans". Tragically, these gentle, intelligent creatures are being systematically exterminated by government agencies. Are these interstellar ambassadors our last hope for a peaceful human future? Could they help us take back America?! May providence smile upon us all! This is Bert Whither saying... goodbye.

 * Crazy Hobo: There is no God! I am God! God of stinky poopy pants!

 * Crazy Hobo: What if God doesn't really exist? What if he's just a... an existential manifestation of our collective cultural yearning for a sense of parental power over a chaotic universe?! ...Nah.

 * Crazy Scientist: I love Bert Whither, even though he called me a crackpot on that TV interview. He said lukewarm fusion wouldn't work, but I know it would if only I'd have gotten the funding, but I didn't, thanks to Bert Whither. Bastard.

 * Crazy Scientist: I heard that the dolphins are doing a good job keeping in touch with the extraterrestrials. I heard that from one of the mice! (a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

 * Crazy Scientist: They were like astronauts on some sort of a star trek in a galaxy far, far away, but it turned out they were all DAMN DIRTY APES! YOU MANIACS!

 * Crazy Scientist: Oh my God, I'm having an internal monologue... about an internal monologue!

 * Scientist: If you believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. Heh.

 * Scientist: I'm working on something called the Internet, but I'm worried it won't catch on...

 * Scientist: [in reference to the nuclear bomb] I fervently hope that we never need to use this fearsome instrument of death. On the other hand, if we do, IT'S GOING TO LOOK WICKED COOL!

 * Scientist: [in reference to the nuclear bomb] This device could kill a million Communists in the blink of an eye! Papa would be so proud...

 * Scientist: Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and I can't get lucky to save my life!

 * Scientist: God does not play dice with the universe. He does, however, hit the blackjack tables.

 * Scientist: Wait a minute - what if E equaled mc cubed?.... MY GOD! I just saw the hole in my pants by looking around the curvature of space and time!!!

 * Scientist: I've got it! The solution to Fermat's Last Theorem! It's... oh, wait, wait... ah crap, I just had it!

 * Scientist: Uncertainty principle? Give me a break! Grow some balls, Heisenberg!

 * Scientist: I could call them... quarks! Nah, it's not commercial enough. Leptons? Hmm, nope, nope. Mesons? No, that sounds like a stupid alien race in some sort of child's game! Gluons? Now that's just plain silly!

 * Tannoy: Attention, space freak. You are completely surrounded. You have exactly ten seconds to drop your weapons and hypnotize yourself into a coma. 10... 9... 8... 7654321! HOT DAMN, FIRE!

 * Capitol City Civilian: This town is getting way too crowded. A million people is just too much. It would be great if something just came along and swept everything away with, say, a super-heated deathray...

 * Soldier: [while on fire] Requesting permission to roll around in the dirt, SIR!

 * Soldier: [while on fire] Soldier would wish to report he is on fire, SIR!

 * Soldier: [lifted into the air by Crypto] If I wanted to fly, I'd have joined the frickin' Air Force!

 * Soldier: [seeing Crypto in area 42] No children allowed here!

 * Farmer: Think about baseball. Think about baseball. Oh, Rock Hudson. NO, DAMMIT! Think about baseball! Think about baseball!...

 * Soldier: Y'know, it occurs to me. What if we shouldn't be messing around with nuclear explosives? What if we're just not ready? Maybe man was not meant to flirt with his own annihilation in such a cavalier way without at least first developing the ethical maturity to use such awesome power... Aw, what the hell? Nuke 'em all and let God sort it out!

 * Cop:: Attention, please step away from the flaming police officer. That is all, thank you for your cooperation.

 * Cop:: Ice! Ice! Not with ice! Ocean of ice! Ice! Ice!

 * Cop:: Attention citizens, please stand by back. This is police burning.

 * Cop: [spots Crypto] Do it now boy-o.

 * Cop: [spots Crypto] Go ahead, make my day!

 * Cop: [fighting against Crypto] Hold it right there!

 * Cop: [fighting against Crypto] Don't move, stop right there!

 * Cop: [fighting against Crypto] Stop, I'm warning you!

 * Cop: [fighting against Crypto] Drop me now, or you're under arrest!

 * Cop: [fighting against Crypto] YAAAH!

 * Cop: [if Crypto flees] Come on back, so I can read you a delight.

 * Cop: [if Crypto flees] Where are you going?! We were having a perfectly good fight!

 * Cop: [if Crypto flees] Where did you think you're going?

 * Cop: [if Crypto flees] If I catch ya, you're running away for a long time!

 * Cop: [if Crypto flees] You can run, but you can't hide.

 * Cop: [if Crypto flees] You weren't getting away from me!

 * Cop: [if Crypto flies off] Turn off that jetpack right now!

 * Cop: [if Crypto flies off] [tutting] Flying away. Typical cowardly criminal behavior!

 * Cop: [Searching for Crypto] Come out and put your hands up.

 * Cop: [Searching for Crypto] Come out, come out, whatever you are.

 * Cop: [Standing by front] Can I help you?

 * Cop: [Standing by front] You're on to something?

 * Cop: [Standing by front] Yes.

 * Cop: [Standing by front] What?

 * Cop: [Standing by front] Please, step away from me, sir.

 * Cop: [Bumping toward] Look out!

 * Cop: [Bumping toward] Watch it pal!

 * Cop: [Bumping toward] Be careful!

 * Cop: [Bumping toward] Watch where you going!

 * Cop: [Bumping toward] Don't get lift me any weight!.

 * Cop: Respect the badge, biotch!

 * Cop: To serve and protect, to serve and protect, to serve and protect, to swerve and defect, to... curve and perfect... dammit, I lost it!

 * Cop: Calling all backup! We have a 1052: officer being levitated!

 * Cop: Like answers, smart guy? What... is your name?

 * Cop: Bill of Rights? Who the hell needs a Bill of Rights?! I'm Bill, and I'm right!

 * Cop: Nightstick: check! Taking bribes from local gangster: check! Sense of moral superiority over fellow citizens: check! Time to arrest me some peeps!

 * Cop: Now if only I could find a cowboy, an Indian and a construction worker, I could form that new singing group down at the village. What would we call ourselves, I wonder? "The City People", "The Village Folks", or something...

 * Cop: What would Eliot Ness do? Never carry a knife to a gunfight? No, that's not it...

 * Cop: I wanna ride a motorcycle! How come I never get to ride a motorcycle? Motorcycle cops have all the fun!

 * Suburban Male: Shiny new automobile: check! Wife cooking meatloaf, taking valium: check! Monotonous job as a filing clerk: check! Unbridled inner rage hidden just below the surface of normalcy: check!

 * Suburban Male: So this is what Eliot meant by "a life of quiet desperation". Thanks a lot, you limey bastard.

 * Suburban Male: Hmm, what would Brando do? ... STELLA! STEEELLAAAAAAAA!!

 * Suburban Female: If only there were some way to electronically facilitate the private viewing of illicit photography, like some sort of computing device with a screen... Ah, it'll never happen.

 * Farmer: [when firing at Crypto] Say hello to my little friend!

 * Farmer: I loves my Bessie... but I loves my steak. Bessie, steak, steak, Bessie... Oh Lord, why do you make me choose?!

 * Crazy Woman: Redrum! Redrum!

 * Crazy Woman: Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top... When the wind blows, the SCREAMING will stop...

 * Crazy Woman: Is it just me or is the sidewalk oozing? No, no, it's just me!

 * Crazy Woman: A mind is a beautiful thing to lose. I should know, I've done it - twice!

 * Crazy Woman: My mind says Pistachio, but my body says Rocky Road... MY STOMACH SAYS PEANUT BRITTLE, HAHAHA!

 * Crazy Woman: I saw the finest minds of my generation consumed by madness. I also saw the feeblest minds of my generation consumed by madness! There's nothing to howl about, really.

 * Huffman: As long as I live, I'll never forget the look on that alien's face... squeal, Crypto 136, squeal like a pig! And he did, dammit! [he is vaporized]

 * Mayor: Now that you are all here, I'd like to say, err... please stay in your homes.

 * Farmer: It's a good day to die, you little bastard!

 * Farmer: You know, sometimes I think about some poor damn bastard who has to wake up at 4 in the morning to do menial work for no pay, and... oh, wait a minute... THAT'S ME! Aw, shoot!

 * Cowboy: I guess there's nothin' wrong with animals peaceably organisin'. After all, it IS an animal farm...

 * Santa Modesta Female: If my kitchen is not the cleanest and shiniest in this whole town, I'll crush anyone who disagrees... with my dainty manicured fist.

 * Santa Modesta Male: It's like we travelled to a future where TV was in color, and they made a program of our happy days in Santa Modesta.

 * Soldier: Keep on the lookout for any significant occurrences, no matter how insignificant they may seem.

 * Sleepy Ernst: Soon I'll prove the human mind can be controlled by televised propaganda and then I'll start my own cable news network, haha! Where the heck are those Majestic Agents? America ain't gonna brainwash itself!

 * Capitol City Male: That Rock Hudson... what a dreamboat... DID I JUST THINK THAT?! Ummm... uh lumberjacks... uh football... Ah, that's better.

 * Air Force Commander: I AM THE GOD OF THUNDER!

 * Soldier: Olive this, khaki that. What the hell's wrong with fuchsia?

 * Soldier: Don't ask, don't tell. Works for me.

 * Soldier: "March here, march there!" March it yourself, jerk-off!

 * Rural Male: I wonder what's for dinner tonight. Oh, yeah, steak. I WANT A SALAD! Is that so wrong?!

Dialogue

 * Orthopox: Shall I tell you a secret? Few of our people know this, but the DNA patterns in our clone banks are becoming more and more degraded with each new clone.
 * Cryptosporidium: That's bad, right?
 * Orthopox: Only if we want to retain our immortality through cloning. OF COURSE IT'S BAD!

 * Cryptosporidium: You're a smart cookie. But there's a time for thought and a time for action! And this is one of those times!
 * Orthopox: Which?
 * Cryptosporidium: The second one!

 * Cryptosporidium: [to himself] They eat with their mouths? Ugh! I think I'm going to be violently ill! [to the cow] Attention, Earth creature. This planet is now part of the Furon Empire. Your benevolent masters welcome you.
 * Cow: Moo!
 * Cryptosporidium: At this time, we wish to abduct you for the purpose of scientific research. The procedure will be protracted and invasive. Do you have any objections?
 * Cow: Moo!
 * Cryptosporidium: Earth creature, I am addressing you! Respond or be vaporized!
 * [cow unloads its bowels]
 * Cryptosporidium: I don't care how many stomachs you have, I don't have time for this!

 * Mrs. Turnipseed: AAAAHHHHH! Little green space men!
 * Cryptosporidium: I. Am. Not. Green!

 * Majestic Agent 1: Did you see what I saw?
 * Majestic Agent 2: You bet your sweet ass I did! What did you see?
 * Majestic Agent 1: Little green man in a flying saucer wiping out the best infantry unit in the U.S. Army.
 * Majestic Agent 2: Right! Good. Me too. … Green? Not grey?
 * Majestic Agent 1: Don't be a stiff. You know what it means?
 * Majestic Agent 2: Absolutely! What?
 * Majestic Agent 1: It means the papers got it right for once. Get on the horn to Silhouette. We've got the worst case scenario.
 * Majestic Agent 2: The eggheads were actually onto something? I don't believe it.
 * Majestic Agent 1: Believe it. Roswell was only the beginning. The invasion is on.

 * Suburban Male 1: What a great guy. He must really love pool parties.
 * [Crypto scans the Mayor]
 * Mayor: You'd think with all the power I have in this town, I could ban these stupid pool parties.

 * Crypto: [disguised as mayor; someone asks about glowing cows] Why the hell do you think they're glowing?! They've been probed!
 * Rural Male: That's a stinkin' lie! I never touched them cows - especially not like that! That's sick! And anyway, Dr. Kinsey says it's normal! So just get your judgmental bourgeois attitudes outta my bedroom! ... I mean, my barn... What?

 * Rural Male: Now wait just a second. How in the world does any of that explain the destruction at the fair?
 * Crypto: [disguised as mayor] It doesn't! Hahahahaha!

 * Rural Female: Well now, hold on! How come no one in Santa Modesta's seen anything like this?
 * Crypto: [disguised as mayor] Because we're real Americans and they're not. Next.

 * Majestic Agent 1: Subliminal TV messages. What will Majestic think of next?
 * Majestic Agent 2: Search me.
 * Majestic Agent 1: Do you have any idea what a rhetorical question is?
 * Majestic Agent 2: Nope, not a clue.

 * Orthopox: This human 'Whither' says the President will appear before his subjects today. This 'President' must be more integral to their social society than I expected. I have noticed a significant increase of activity in front of the White House.
 * Cryptosporidium: Right on. Just tell me where he is and what he looks like.
 * Orthopox: I... eh... aah... uhm... the mothership's tracking system is broken. I think he uses those convoys of long black vehicles for transit.
 * Cryptosporidium: You think?
 * Orthopox: I can't exactly pinpoint the President from orbit, Crypto. It's not like he walks around with a big red arrow over his head!

 * Orthopox: All right, Crypto. I've analyzed the data that you've collected, and I've found the perfect candidate for you to-
 * Crypto: Probe and vaporize?
 * Orthopox: No... abduct and bring back to the mothership.
 * Crypto: My way's more fun.
 * Orthopox: Abduct. Not vaporize.
 * Crypto: Okay, but humanity ain't gonna annihilate itself, all I'm saying.
 * Orthopox: Can I finish?
 * Crypto: Can I stop you?

 * Air Force Commander: General Armquist, good of you to come. Thought you might be too busy running damage control out in California.
 * Armquist: Never too busy to watch the Air Force fall flat on its face, Jack.
 * Air Force Commander: Corporal Patterson, let's show our guests what this bottle rocket can do. [Patterson gives a signal as a UFO shaped Air Force plane takes off] VERTICAL TAKE OFF AND LANDING! How do you like them apples? [the UFO plane crashes hardly to the ground and begins smoking]
 * Armquist: That's it? That's your ultimate weapon?
 * Air Force Commander: PATTERSON! GET OVER THERE AND TELL MCGILLICUDDY TO GET THAT BIRD IN THE AIR RIGHT THIS SECOND, OR HE'LL BE TESTING GO-KARTS FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS!
 * Armquist: Forty-million dollars for that?

 * Crypto: Silhouette, I presume. You don't look like a general.
 * Silhouette You don't look like a little green man.
 * Crypto: Thank you. [puts weapon away] So, wavin' the white flag, huh? All the monkeys got together, scratched their heads, accepted the inevitable?
 * Silhouette That sense of humor; just like your-
 * Crypto: Like my what?
 * Silhouette Er... file. Your dossier, Crypto. Said you were quite the joker.
 * Crypto: I think I never told you my name.
 * Silhouette No, I suppose I have your brother to thank for that.

 * Rural Male: It looked like someone had stuck some sort of device up the poor thing's...
 * Fair Worker: ... clap-trap, and after all that I didn't even get to see Miss Rockwell, she just walked right on by with her...
 * Rural Female: ... bales laid out flat in circles like Fourth of July pinwheels.

 * [after all antenna are bent]
 * Orthopox: All right, I'm increasing the power...[antennae start shaking rapidly] Wait, Crypto! The signal is too strong! Humans are weak, their minds can't take that kind of amplitude! Quickly, Crypto, you've got to bend the antennae before they- [human heads start exploding] - oooh, that has to hurt... ewwww, disgusting... [pause] Crypto? Crypto? Where did you go?
 * Crypto: [shot of Crypto running down a street, screen goes black] Snack time.

 * Worker: L-l-little green men!
 * Crypto: Not again, colorblind moron! [points Disintegrator Ray at worker] Die, pea-brain! [Disintegrator Ray doesn't fire] Hey, where's the - What did you do with my clip, monkey boy?
 * Worker: Phew.
 * Crypto: So much for wholesale carnage. I guess I'll just have to settle for ripping your limbs off one by one with my bare hands, until I find it... with my bare hands.
 * Worker: AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 * Orthopox: Now that their President is dead, the human senators are voting for a new leader. The vote is agonizingly close!
 * Cryptosporidium: Doesn't the Vice President become President?
 * Orthopox: Just shut up and kill those senators before they get inside the Capitol!

 * [Crypto has successfully brought a nuclear bomb to the Area 42 airfield and detonated it there]
 * Silhouette: [speaking to General Armquist via TV] Armquist! You want to explain to me why our troops are abandoning Area 42?!
 * General Armquist: They're not leaving, they're regrouping. Everything's under control.
 * Silhouette: Really? So the airfield hasn't been destroyed by one of our own nukes?
 * General Armquist: It's that Commie spy from Santa Modesta! He got in somehow; messed with one of our experiments. Don't worry, I'll catch him!
 * Silhouette: That's what you said in Santa Modesta. Frankly, General, I'm beginning to question your resolve.
 * General Armquist: Oh, I'm resolved all right! That explosion was meant to take me out!
 * Silhouette: You're saying this "Communist spy" has a personal vendetta against you?
 * General Armquist: Maybe you don't get the mindset we're up against!
 * Silhouette: No, no, General, I'm taking you very seriously. The President should hear this. Get back to Capitol City.
 * General Armquist: I don't take orders from you!
 * Silhouette: In this matter, I speak for the President. You know that.
 * General Armquist: [hangs his head and sighs] Oh, Majestic...

 * [After overhearing Silhouette's plan to unite the American defense branches]
 * Cryptosporidium: So, huh? Majestic and the army gettin' it on? Hmm, I shoulda known. Those sly dogs...
 * Orthopox: Bit cavalier about this, aren't you?
 * Cryptosporidum: Why the hell not? I don't think it makes any difference.
 * Orthopox: I didn't clone you to think. And it may make a very big difference indeed!

 * General Armquist: Aargh! Go on, you commie punk, finish it.
 * Cryptosporidium: It didn't have to be this way, Armquist.
 * General Armquist: What do-- [coughs] What do you mean?
 * Cryptosporidium: I mean, this ridiculous war. We could've worked together, you and I, to forge a new future - a common future, of peace and prosperity for our two peoples.
 * General Armquist: Just... put me out of my misery, will ya?
 * Cryptosporidium: I'm serious.
 * General Armquist: You... you didn't want to destroy us?
 * Cryptosporidium: Of course not. We were as scared of you as you were of us. Deep in our hearts, I think what we really wanted was to be just like you.
 * General Armquist: Really?
 * Cryptosporidium: Really.
 * General Armquist: I guess... at the end of the day... we really are all just... human beings.
 * Cryptosporidium: [disintegrates Armquist] Psyche. [walks away] Pathetic human.

<hr width=50%/>
 * Crypto: [after Silhouette reveals herself] YOU'RE A CHICK?!
 * Silhouette: I'm a patriot! If you had to put up with politicians playing grab-ass all day long, you'd wear a mask too.

 * [After destroying the Roboprez]
 * Cryptosporidium: Man, I love the smell of presidential brains in the morning.
 * Orthopox: Just remember who set that giant POTUS of destruction upon you!
 * Cryptosporidium: Riiight...
 * Orthopox: You know who I mean!
 * Cryptosporidium: Oh, that Silhouette guy, right? Or chick.
 * Orthopox: Could you do me a favor and NOT creep me out?!
 * Cryptosporidium: Sure.
 * Orthopox: In any case, he-- I mean, she ran from the Capitol. I lost sight of him-- her-- SILHOUETTE, near the--
 * Silhouette: Attention, Furons! Attention, Furons! Is this thing on? Oh, whatever. I know you little grey freaks can hear this. I'm sure you're out there listening... gloating.
 * Cryptosporidium: Pretty much, yeah.
 * Orthopox: It seems only fair.
 * Silhouette: Credit where credit is due. You did it. You beat my beautiful Roboprez, and now you're probably sitting around fantasizing about "destroying all the humans". Typical. Sure you handled the boys: Armquist, Huffman. Oh, that was a challenge. [chuckles] But everybody knows which sex is dominant on this planet! There's still plenty of time to get your asses handed to you! That is, if you're not too scared to fight a girl.
 * Cryptosporidium: Nah, I'm not hung up on the whole pudenda thing.
 * Silhouette: So come on, Crypto. Let's dance. I'll even let you lead... I'm at the Octagon. Don't keep me waiting.

 * [After the final boss fight with Silhouette]
 * Silhouette: You beat me... I can't believe... you... actually... BEAT me...
 * Crypto: They never do. You know, you don't look so hot.
 * Silhouette: Majestic will never... give up... the struggle... to... resist... you... alien FREAKS!
 * Crypto: Struggle's over, babe. Furons: one; humans: ziperooni.
 * Silhouette: You think... you've won? You think America is the only human civilization on Earth?
 * Crypto: That's what all the Americans seem to think. [mumbling] At least the ones I scanned...
 * Silhouette: Smug little insect... There are three billion people on this planet... and everywhere there are humans... there is... Majestic!
 * Crypto: Sorry, dollface. Without you, Majestic's just a bunch of dudes in crappy black suits.
 * Silhouette: Majestic... MJ-12... The twelve... all over... all... over... the world... [dies]
 * Crypto: Attention, humans: I am Cryptosporidium of the planet Furon. This planet is now a territory of the Furon Empire. Resist THIS! [stomps on Silhouette's head, a squish is heard]

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

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

Talk:Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

These three:

*I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.

*A mind stretched by a new idea can never go back to its original dimensions.

*Insanity is the logic of an accurate mind overtaxed.

are also listed on OWH Sr.'s page. Which one is correct? -203.219.227.6 15:00, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) "Insanity is the logic of an accurate mind overtaxed." This is already correctly sourced on the Holmes Sr page as "Insanity is often the logic of an accurate mind overtaxed" (from The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, ch. II). I'll remove it from the Holmes Jr page (Unsourced section). 2) "A mind stretched by a new idea can never go back to its original dimensions." This also turns out to be from The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table (ch. XI) as the following: "Every now and then a man's mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions." I'll add this quote to its appropriate place on the Holmes Sr page and will remove it from the Holmes Jr page (I didn't see it already on the Holmes Sr page, by the way). 3) "I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity." This quote, which on the Holmes Sr page has "my right arm" instead of "my life," is one for which I haven't found the source so far, and so I will leave this quote as it is on both pages.  - InvisibleSun 18:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 *If I were dying, my last words would be, Have faith and pursue the unknown end. This quote is listed instead as his father's, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., on ThinkExist.com.

*A moment's insight is somtimes worth life's experience appears also in Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. To whom should it be attributed?
 * Dror dori 16:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

"The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins."
Did he actually say this? It's a common quotation attributed to him but doesn't appear on the main page. If he did indeed say it, it should be there! Hanxu9 13:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The quote's by Zechariah Chafee. Its exact form is "Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other man’s nose begins." See Z Chafee 'Freedom of Speech in Wartime' (1919) 32 Harvard Law Review 932 at p. 957.  Its context in his piece is somewhat different from what it's usually taken to be.  But you're right - this is frequently attributed to Holmes.  Perhaps it merits an entry in the 'misattributed' section. -- Arvind 00:12, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, done. BD2412 T 00:40, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced

 * These require citations to adequate sources before being placed into the main article.

 * There's a great deal of difference between a little bit and a lot.
 * Justice Holmes' comment on judging, quoted by Harvard Law Professor Arthur Sutherland, who has been personal secretary to Justice Holmes.

I removed this as probably a hoax edit at this point — an brief internet search provides no corroboration of this.

Date of OWH, Jr. quote
The only simplicity for which I would give a straw is that which is on the other side of the complex — not that which never has divined it. "Holmes-Pollock Letters : The Correspondence of Mr. Justice Holmes and Sir Frederick Pollock, 1874-1932" (2nd ed., 1961), p. 109.

Just trying to understand why the following quote is listed under 1930s, when the letter cited is dated October 24, 1902. Laschoenfeld (talk) 17:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Boris Sidis

Boris Sidis (October 12, 1867 – October 24, 1923) was a Ukraine-born American psychologist and psychiatrist who studied under William James at Harvard University. His areas of study included hypnosis, suggestion, and the subconscious; multiple personality, sleep, laughter, and the treatment of psychopathic disease.

Quotes

 * Suggestibility varies as the amount of disaggregation, and inversely as the unification of consciousness.
 * The Psychology of Suggestion: a Research into the Subconscious Nature of Man and Society (1889), p. 90

 * The principle of recognition of evil under all its guises is at the basis of the true education of man.
 * Philistine and Genius (1919)

Multiple Personality: an Experimental Investigation into Human Individuality (1904)

 * The course of evolution is to a greater integration of similarly functioning ganglia.
 * p. 16

 * The general tendency of evolution is from structure to function, from bondage to freedom of the individual elements.
 * p. 26

The Foundations of Normal and Abnormal Psychology (1914)

 * Science is the description of phenomena and the formulation of their relations.
 * p. 11

 * Psychology is the science of psychic states both as to content and form, regarded from an objective standpoint, and brought in relation to the living corporeal individual.
 * p. 39

 * The psycho-physiological hypothesis is both inductively and deductively the sine qua non of the science of psychology.
 * p. 86

 * The man of genius whether as artist or thinker requires a mass of accidental variations to select from and a rigidly selective process of attention.
 * p. 98

 * Not purpose but chance is at the heart of mental life.
 * p. 100

 * The fact that psychology postulates an external material world and studies it in so far as it comes to be reflected in consciousness, points to another postulate which psychology must assume in addition, namely, the existence of an inner world consciousness.
 * p. 106

 * Psychology must postulate uniformity of interrelation of physical, physiological, and psychic processes.
 * p. 112

 * Mental synthesis of psychic content in the unity of a moment-consciousness is a fundamental principle of psychology.
 * p. 117

The Causation and Treatment of Psychopathic Diseases (1916)

 * The main source of psychopathic diseases is the fundamental instinct of fear with its manifestations, the feeling of anxiety, anguish, and worry.
 * p. 33

 * Superstitions, and especially the early cultivation of religion, with its “fear of the Lord” and of unknown mysterious agencies, are especially potent in the development of the instinct of fear. Even the early cultivation of morality and conscientiousness, with their fears of right and wrong, often causes psychoneurotic states in later life. Religious, social, and moral taboos and superstitions, associated with apprehension of threatening impending evil, based on the fear instinct, form the germs of psychopathic affections.
 * p. 37

The Source and Aim of Human Progress (1919)

 * It is not the citizen, or a taxpayer, or voter, or office-holder, but the cultivated, free individual who is the true aim of all social progress.

 * No opinion should be disdained and scorned.

 * If society is to progress on a truly humanistic basis, without being subject to mental epidemics and virulent social diseases to which the subconscious falls an easy victim, the personal consciousness of every individual should be cultivated to the highest degree possible.

 * Greatness of individuality is inversely proportional to the mass of the social aggregate.

 * A social aggregate which has chosen the fatal path of organic evolution must succumb to the same law of organic development to which all organisms are subject, namely greater and greater organization, increase of structure, greater differentiation, decrease of critical, personal, consciousness, loss of individual liberty, increased activity of the subconscious forces, falling into a state of somnambulism which can only be redeemed by revolution or by death.

 * If ceaseless vigilance is the price of liberty, more so is it true that ceaseless criticism of ever new opinions and ever new views, however distasteful, bizarre, and paradoxical, is the price of truth.

 * The freedom of the seemingly false opinion and our tolerance of it and our willingness to meet with it in the open help test the validity of truth while keeping alive the critical sense which is the main spring of all advancement of human thought and is the vital point, the very soul, of all human progress.

Nervous Ills their Cause and Cure (1922)

 * Self-preservation is the central aim of all life-activities.
 * p. 20

 * The tendency of life is not the preservation of the species, but solely the preservation of each individual organism, as long as it is in existence at all, and is able to carry on its life processes.
 * p. 20

 * The recognition, the diagnosis, and the preservation of psychopathic individuals account for the apparent increase of neurotics in civilized communities.
 * p. 275

 * It is time that the medical and teaching profession should realize that functional neurosis is not congenital, not inborn, not hereditary, but is the result of a defective, fear-inspiring education in early child life.
 * p. 285

 * Human institutions depend for their existence and stability on the impulse of self-preservation and its close associate, — the fear instinct.
 * p. 311

Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence

Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence is a 1996 novel by Doris Pilkington Garimara. It concerns the author's mother, and two other young mixed-race Aboriginal girls, who ran away from a Western Australian settlement at Moore River. It was made into a film in 2002, entitled Rabbit-Proof Fence.

Chapter 6- The Journey South

 * All they knew was that they were going to the settlement to go to school. Rain clouds were gathering and by the time they reached the bend where large grey boulders loomed along either side of the road, the sky was black with rain clouds.
 * Pg. 50

 * George told them about the many the races of people in the world.
 * Pg. 53

 * If you go to the school you don’t see your family for years and years.
 * Pg. 60

Chapter 7-The Moore River Native Settlement, 1930

 * They lay feeling cold and lonely, listening to the sound of rain bouncing off the tin roof.
 * Pg. 64

 * "I don’t feel like climbing the hill," said Martha. "But if you go I guess I’ll go too."
 * Pg. 69

 * It was more like a concentration camp, then a residential school for aboriginal children.
 * Pg. 72

 * "We all know it’s awful," said Martha. "But we all got over it."
 * Pg. 73

 * "We’d better hurry, it’s going to rain again." They stood briefly on the verandah to watch the thunder clouds rumbling in the west. There was a flash of lightning, followed by another. "Quick, run," urged Martha. "It’s going to rain."
 * Pg. 74

David Boaz

David Boaz (August 29, 1953 – June 7, 2024) was the executive vice president of the influential libertarian U.S think tank the Cato Institute. He played a key role in the development of the Cato Institute and the libertarian movement.

Quotes

 * A Justice Department survey reports that 70 percent of those arrested for serious crimes are drug uses, which may mean that "drugs cause crime." A more sophisticated analysis suggests that the high cost of drugs, a result of their prohibition, forces drug users to turn crime to support an unnecessarily expensive habit. Drug prohibition, by giving young people the thrill of breaking the law and giving pushers a strong incentive to find new customers, may actually increase the number of drug users. Moreover, out policy of pressuring friendly governments to wipe out drug cultivation has undermined many of those regimes and provoked resentment against us among their citizens and government officials. We can either escalate the war on drugs, which would have dire implications for civil liberties and the right to privacy, or find a way to gracefully withdraw. Withdrawal should not be viewed as an endorsement of drug use; it would simply be an acknowledgment that the cost of this war- billions of dollars, runaway crime rates and restrictions on our personal freedom — is too high.
 * "Let's Quit the Drug War" in The New York Times (17 March 1988)

 * One difference between libertarianism and socialism is that a socialist society can't tolerate groups of people practicing freedom, but a libertarian society can comfortably allow people to choose voluntary socialism. If a group of people — even a very large group — wanted to purchase land and own it in common, they would be free to do so. The libertarian legal order would require only that no one be coerced into joining or giving up his property.
 * "The Coming Libertarian Age" in Cato Policy Report (January/February 1997)

 * Libertarianism offers an alternative to coercive government that should appeal to peaceful, productive people everywhere. No, a libertarian world isn't a perfect one. There will still be inequality, poverty, crime, corruption, man's inhumanity to man. But, unlike the theocratic visionaries, the pie-in-the-sky socialist utopians, or the starry-eyed Mr. Fixits of the New Deal and Great Society, libertarians don't promise you a rose garden. Karl Popper once said that attempts to create heaven on earth invariably produce hell. Libertarianism holds out, not the goal of a perfect society, but of a better and freer one. It promises a world in which more of the decisions will be made in the right way by the right person: you.
 * Libertarianism: A Primer (1997) Ch. 1 : The Coming Libertarian Age"; A Note on Labels: Why "Libertarian"?

 * In the libertarian view, all human relationships should be voluntary; the only actions that should be forbidden by law are those that involve the initiation of force against those who have not themselves used force—actions like murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, and fraud. Libertarians believe this code should be applied to actions by governments as well as by individuals.
 * Libertarianism: A Primer, Free Press, (1998) p. 2

 * Libertarians see the individual as the basic unit of social analysis. Only individuals make choices and are responsible for their actions. Libertarian thought emphasizes the dignity of each individual, which entails both rights and responsibility. The progressive extension of dignity to more people — to women, to people of different religions and different races — is one of the great libertarian triumphs of the Western world.
 * "Key Concepts of Libertarianism" (1 January 1999)

 * Libertarianism is not libertinism or hedonism. It is not a claim that "people can do anything they want to, and nobody else can say anything." Rather, libertarianism proposes a society of liberty under law, in which individuals are free to pursue their own lives so long as they respect the equal rights of others. The rule of law means that individuals are governed by generally applicable and spontaneously developed legal rules, not by arbitrary commands; and that those rules should protect the freedom of individuals to pursue happiness in their own ways, not aim at any particular result or outcome.
 * "Key Concepts of Libertarianism" (1 January 1999)

 * Libertarians have always battled the age-old scourge of war. They understood that war brought death and destruction on a grand scale, disrupted family and economic life, and put more power in the hands of the ruling class — which might explain why the rulers did not always share the popular sentiment for peace. Free men and women, of course, have often had to defend their own societies against foreign threats; but throughout history, war has usually been the common enemy of peaceful, productive people on all sides of the conflict.
 * "Key Concepts of Libertarianism" (1 January 1999)

John McKay

John Harvey McKay (July 5, 1923 – June 10, 2001) was an American football coach. He was the head coach of the USC Trojans from 1960 to 1975, and of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1976 to 1984.

Quotes

 * I think it's a good idea.
 * Asked about his team's "execution" in a loss.
 * McKay knew how to win, crack wise

Sourced from NFL Films

 * These guys are almost gutless, and the ones that aren't that are brainless.

 * Can't stop the pass or the run. Otherwise, we're in great shape.

 * [To the media after a game] Well, we couldn't block...but we made up for it by not tackling.

 * We've proven that we can't win on the road or in front of our home crowd.

 * What we should do is go down and get their champagne, but we'll drink our beer!
 * To his players after their first playoff win.

Mary Schmich

Mary Theresa Schmich (born November 29, 1953) is a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. Her June 1, 1997 column, commonly referred to as "Wear sunscreen", was widely attributed on the Internet to a Kurt Vonnegut commencement address at M.I.T.  It was later published as a book and released as a popular recording.

Quotes

 * Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.
 * "Now Boarding At Any Newspaper, Magazine Or Book", Chicago Tribune, 28 October 1998; reprinted in The Best of Mary Schmich (2012) as "A Discount Ticket to Everywhere".

"Wear Sunscreen" (1997)
 newspaper colummn originally published in the Chicago Tribune as "Advice, like youth, probably wasted on the young" (June 1, 1997)

 * Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. ... [T]rust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
 * Do one thing every day that scares you.

 * Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with those who are reckless with yours.

 * Don't waste time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

 * Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

 * Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either of them might run out.

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

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
