Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Greg Buk

 * 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. —LrdChaos (talk) 17:23, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Greg Buk
Not notable. Only a dozen Google hits on the name, most of which appear to be as the result of a message board signature. There's also no current Wikipedia page; Greg Buk has been speedy-deleted five times in the last two weeks, though it looks like one of those was promptly undone by an undelete, but then deleted again. —LrdChaos 12:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed: Result: delete (six votes to delete, no accepted votes to keep). I have discounted two of the votes in favor of deletion (220.233.88.131 and 58.106.5.108) and all eleven on the non-struck votes to keep (203.134.35.43, 203.134.35.77, 220.237.2.199, 144.131.120.100, 203.134.25.137, 203.134.35.168, 203.134.35.1, 210.8.110.36, 60.225.69.39, 58.106.3.34, and 60.241.117.48) as they are all from anonymous users whose contribution history is entirely or almost entirely edits to this VFD and the article in question. —LrdChaos (talk) 17:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. —LrdChaos 12:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 17:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Additional info: not only has this subject been deleted as an article on Wikipedia, but there is now  a protection to prevent the article from being created again. - InvisibleSun 18:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I hadn't even noticed that (with the lowercase "b"); there were at least 19 deleted edits in "many" deletions for that version. —LrdChaos 18:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. I wish to say that people have been taking advantage of Wikipedia and Wikiquote to make fun of me (Yes, my name is Greg Buk). I wish for this article to be deleted and have protection for it to never be created again. I am guessing that this is an excuse for plargarism. 220.233.88.131 21:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. ~
 * Struck incorrectly signed vote. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have blanked the article per our informal practice of blanking libelous articles about unnotables under VfD. To forestall further mischief, I've also noted that we may block editors who attempt to restore this information to the article without justification and sourcing. Given the likely maturity level of the contributors, I doubt we'll see any meaningful rationale, if they respond at all. I also note that the two IPs contributing to this article thus far are both from dynamic ranges (apparently in Australia) that have given WP considerable trouble recently. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * These quotes I have placed on this website are commonly used on a school of 1000 students. This Greg Buk who has commented on this article is not one that I know, the Greg Buk we know supports this article and these quotes are used widely around the school, and are taken with good humour. I believe this article should be kept, as it is an important part of the identity of the school's culture, I beg you to not delete it and put all the information back.
 * The purpose of Wikiquote is to collect quotes from notable people and creative works, preferably citing reliable sources. The editors of this article have provided no reliable source for any of the quotes or claims made in the article or its talk page, and have not reliably identified the person being quoted, let alone shown that this is a notable person. Rather, it is suspected that this "Greg Buk" is a high-school student, and students are never considered notable for Wikimedia purposes without compelling notability evidence from published sources. The anonymous user posting the above comment has been blocked for 1 week after reposting the content to the article talk page, again without any sourced justification. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. 121a0012 03:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. ~ I believe that this article is important as Greg Buk is known as a local super-hero and his quotes increadibly popular among all who know him and are often used even among people who do not know Greg.
 * Struck incorrectly signed vote. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. 203.134.35.43 10:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC) This information is 100% true. i am an eye witness to what he has said. If u people actually met Greg u would agree that this is true. Greg is one of the local Superheroes who keeps his town going. He is crazy and the all the things he has said is true!!!!!!!!
 * It doesn't matter if there are 1000 people who claim to be "eyewitnesses" to a quote. Personal testimony is irrelevant. What we require is published information. If a person isn't sufficiently notable to have quotes published in some reliable form, they are not what Wikiquote is looking for. It doesn't mean that a person didn't say it, it just means that this is not something we include in this quote compendium. (By the way, thank you for signing properly.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. 203.134.35.77 12:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC) Yes it does, because eyewitness information is the only type that is belivable thats why all Law Courts require eyewitness accounts
 * I shall make my justification clear: that I wish to remain non-notable whatsoever, and that these people are total idiots who wish to attract and tarnish the good reputation of our school. Not only that, it is probably an excuse to create stupid articles. 220.233.88.131 01:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. 220.237.2.199 08:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC) I am Greg Buk and I wish to inform you that I totally support the publishing of this page on Wikiquote. Please keep it as I am now seen as cool to my fellow peers and I varify all the information on the page.
 * We have no way of knowing whether 220.237.2.199, 220.233.88.131, or even I am Greg Buk. No amount of unsupported claims or ballot stuffing will change the fact that what matters is published verification of notability and sourcing of quotes. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. For God's sake. So your telling me that a high school student isn't excepted on wikipedia but an animated character (David Tench) in Australia was qualified to be put on wiki. Wikipedia is nothing less than a blog- get over yourselves.
 * The user "220.233.88.131" is not me, Greg Buk but is that of a guy at school called Jack Daniels who hates me having anything at anytime in any way, also the IP "220.233.88.131" is the IP of our school and is used by all computors on the school's network -
 * Keep. 203.134.35.137 07:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC) I personally have a published book with only Greg Buk's quotes. This proves that this is for real
 * Delete. Attack page, and the sockpuppetry here is really just more evidence. David | Talk 21:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I beleive this article is complety legit, i have heard of Greg buk before and he is a very good and popular man. In my travels across the world i have heard of him more than once.
 * Struck unsigned vote from . ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The IP 220.233.88.131 is not me, greg buk and there is not sock puupertry going on, just me on differant IPsJaGuar 0041 09:30, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: It is abundantly clear that the activity related to this page and the one at Wikipedia is but the irresponsible whim of a few schoolchildren, or perhaps just one, and has no place here. ~ Kalki 20:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. 203.134.35.168 11:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC) Jeff Q has a page on wikiquote yet has no published sources to varify the information. Why is that different? Why souldn't Jeff Q be put up for deletion? This is very hippercritical.
 * I'm not sure why I'm bothering, but I'll try to explain. User pages are intended to be about Wikiquote users. They are significantly different from articles, which must be about notable subjects. Users are allowed and even encouraged to say something about themselves and their interests, to help readers know about them. They are not a formal part of the quote compendium. But even user pages have restrictions that apply to all content in Wikimedia projects, like not using them for personal attacks, libel, copyright violations, commercial enterprises, blogs, or any other non-project purpose. JaGuar 0041, for example, is entitled to a user page as a registered user, but he chose to post this kind of material on his user page, so it was removed. This is not hypocritical, it is Wikiquote (and Wikimedia) policy. We welcome participation from both registered and anonymous users, but they must adhere to the policies and practices of Wikiquote, which is true for any website. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Now i have seen gerg buk in the street and he was followed by FLOCKS of people asking him to say things because they have alot of depth and such! I cannot see WHY we cant have a qikiquote on such a notable person as Greg!
 * Struck yet another unsigned vote. My opinion of the students from this school is decreasing with every failure to follow policy or to show the slightest comprehension of the points we've tried to make above. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:26, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. 203.134.35.1 11:25, 10 September 2006 (UTC) I think wikiquote should put this page up so many people can have a good look at it and then more people can make their minds up about it. Then people power can provail.

 * Keep Greg buk is quite possibily the greatest man of our time. We must rise against the oppresors and fight for the life of this article, we will stand tall. We will fight Jeff Q! We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Wikipedia, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Greg Buk wikiquote page, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Greg Buk page or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Greg Buk Page Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Greg Buk Page. 210.8.110.36 23:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. 60.225.69.39 09:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC) Greg buk (aka Gregorius Bukus; General G-man; Jaguar_0041 (NOT the original)) is a local superhero in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. To many people he is much more than a legend, he is a lifesaver that is even more powerful in his own ways than superman. He is a great person and to delete this page is a complete mockery of every anti-predjudice thing he stands for (except for parking inspectors and indian telemarketers). If there is anyone who would like to help the cause to save greg, call the wildlife society as he is one of the last of an endangered species, the Gregorius Bukus.
 * Oh, how I look forward to September 14. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. 210.8.110.36 00:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC) Greg Buk is a legend in his own right. No one can take this away from him. Even after his deletion, his memory will live on forever. Long live Greg Buk!!!! p.s It is an outrage that the page was deleted and we will fight until we win!!!

 * Keep. 60.225.69.39 06:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)Greg Buk is even more helpful to anyone in need than many people I know. He is very attractive aswell and I think JeffQ should stop all of the nonsensicle crap that he is putting on wikiquote. If I wasn't so sure that Greg Buk was straight I would swear he was even more attractive than I already think he is. Also, JeffQ IS A HIPOCRIT!!!! He stops valuable information from being allowed on wikiquote but does allow information that nobody cares about on his user page. I mean COME ON JeffQ, get over yourself.

 * Keep.58.106.3.34

Keep If any page should be kept it should be the page for the greatest Australian, nay human ever to speak modern english: Greg Buk 60.241.117.48 12:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete I wish to state the fact that two students today were suspended at the school where this page is coming out of. They were suspended for creating pages on wikipedia and spreading inflammitory comments about fellow students. If you wish to be one of these students, continue to write more comments. However, I advise you, such bullying can warrant police involvement and school action. Do not for one second think that teachers don't know about this; they do. I hope that involvement by the school or headmaster doesn't need to be taken. Maristadmin 2:00, 13 September 2006
 * NB the above contribution, although signed by Maristadmin, was actually made by . David | Talk 08:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Struck the above vote. We have zero tolerance for forged votes. I will post a note to both newly registered users' pages. I have serious doubts as to whether either of these folks (assuming they aren't the same person) have any intent to contribute to Wikiquote, given John's forgery and Maristadmin's username, which may be intended to imply authority. Just like all the anon voters here, neither has done anything outside of this article and their user pages. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete 2 kids from out school were suspended so like yeah, it was a hoax, so just delete it....
 * Keep. 231.8.150.3608:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC) Come on Jeffery
 * This signature was forged by User:203.134.35.73 - InvisibleSun 10:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think we're just feeding the trolls at this point by reacting to these meaningless votes by different one-time IPs. In this case, "73" posted the vote, then changed it an hour later, twice, to completely different networks, apparently trying to see if we'd notice. At least one person using these addresses has already claimed to be editing using different addresses, so I think this has just become another game for bored children. I'd recommend to whoever closes this vote that they explicitly cite the total number of the votes to be dismissed because their editors did nothing but post votes and comments here and tweak the Buk article. (I'd prefer not to close it because of my significant involvement in this discussion. I'll be happy to archive it, though.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it would be useful to point out at this time that the page "Bert Newton" is coplemtly irrelivent as he has never said anything memorable and it is also also increadibly racist and discriminative, if that page is kept then the page made about the great Greg should become an icon for a religion. while Bert Newton has said nothing memorable and doesnt deserve a quote page Greg Buk has proven to haave said amazingly memorable quotes which you will never forget for the rest of your life. 60.241.117.48 12:13, 14 September 2006 (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 Mysticsaint. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mysticsaint~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:Ann Richards

Backwards and in high heels

 * "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels."

Ann Richards definitely said this at the 1988 convention, but it is not original to her. See Talk:Faith Whittlesey for further discussion. Blahedo 18:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the tip. I've restored the quote, but put it into a "Misattributed" section, in which we document common misquotations. It can also cover accurate ones that are not original with the quotee, as in this case. It's unfortunate that the source we have doesn't really make clear when this appeared. The only clear date information is the statement "© 1982 NEA, Inc.", but I don't see the connection between "NEA" and Bob Thaves. This could be a derivative copyright, with the original publication occurring earlier. A specific date and paper or other publication would be helpful. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to.

 * I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house.' I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, 'She opened government to everyone.'*
 * I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.*
 * I get a lot of cracks about my hair, mostly from men who don't have any.*
 * (On ineffective government programs) "You can put lipstick and earrings on a hog and call it Monique, but it's still a pig.*
 * Let me tell you that I am the only child of a very rough-talking father. So don't be embarrassed about your language. I've either heard it or I can top it.*
 * Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
 * Recommendation to former president George H. W. Bush in 1992
 * If you think taking care of yourself is selfish, change your mind. If you don't, you're simply ducking your responsibilities.
 * I have very strong feelings about how you lead your life. You always look ahead, you never look back.
 * I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it.*
 * Teaching was the hardest work I had ever done, and it remains the hardest work I have done to date.*
 * I haven't had this much fun since the pigs ate my brother (from an episode of the NPR radio program Wait Wait Don't Tell Me)

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 (Insert Name Here). To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name (Insert Name Here)~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 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

High Noon

High Noon is a 1952 film about a marshal who finds that his town refuses to help him when he is compelled to face a returning deadly enemy.
 * ''Directed by Fred Zinnemann. Written by Carl Foreman, based on a story by John W. Cunningham.

The story of a man who was too proud to run. taglines

Martin Howe

 * [about being marshal] It's a great life. You risk your skin catchin' killers and the juries turn 'em loose so they can come back and shoot at ya again. If you're honest, you're poor your whole life, and in the end you wind up dyin' all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothin'. For a tin star.

 * [about no one volunteering to be a deputy] It figures. It's all happened too sudden. People gotta talk themselves into law and order before they do anything about it. Maybe because down deep they don't care. They just don't care.

Helen Ramirez

 * [to Harvey, about Will Kane] You're a good looking boy, you have big broad shoulders, but he is a man. It takes more than big broad shoulders to make a man, Harvey, and you have a long way to go. You know something? I don't think you will ever make it.

Dialogue

 * Kane: [while riding out of town] It's no good. I've got to go back, Amy.
 * Amy: Why?
 * Kane: This is crazy. I haven't even got any guns.
 * Amy: Then let's go on. Hurry.
 * Kane: No, that's what I've been thinkin'. They're making me run. I've never run from anybody before.
 * Amy: I don't understand any of this.
 * Kane: [after looking at his vest watch] Well, I haven't got time to tell ya.
 * Amy: Then don't go back, Will.
 * Kane: I've got to. That's the whole thing. [He turns the buggy around and rides back into town]

 * Barber: How many coffins we got?
 * Fred: Two.
 * Barber: We're gonna need at least two more, no matter how you figure. You'd better get busy, Fred.

 * Kane: I sent a man up five years ago for murder. He was supposed to hang. But up North, they commuted it to life and now he's free. I don't know how. Anyway, it looks like he's coming back.
 * Amy: I still don't understand.
 * Kane: He was always wild and kind of crazy. He'll probably make trouble.
 * Amy: But that's no concern of yours, not anymore.
 * Kane: I'm the one who sent him up.
 * Amy: Well, that was part of your job. That's finished now. They've got a new marshal.
 * Kane: He won't be here until tomorrow. Seems to me I've got to stay. Anyway, I'm the same man with or without this. [He pins his badge on his vest]
 * Amy: Oh, that isn't so.
 * Kane: I expect he'll come lookin' for me. Three of his old bunch are waiting at the depot.
 * Amy: That's exactly why we ought to go.
 * Kane: They'll just come after us, four of 'em, and we'd be all alone on the prairie.
 * Amy: We've got an hour.
 * Kane: What's an hour?...What's a hundred miles? We'd never be able to keep that store, Amy. They'd come after us and we'd have to run again, as long as we live.
 * Amy: No we wouldn't, not if they didn't know where to find us. Oh Will! Will, I'm begging you, please let's go.
 * Kane: I can't.
 * Amy: Don't try to be a hero. You don't have to be a hero, not for me.
 * Kane: I'm not trying to be a hero. If you think I like this, you're crazy.

 * Kane: Look Amy, this is my town. I've got friends here. I'll swear in a bunch of special deputies and with a posse behind me, maybe there won't even be any trouble.
 * Amy: You know there'll be trouble.
 * Kane: Then, it's better to have it here. I'm sorry, honey, I know how you feel about it.
 * Amy: Do you?
 * Kane: Of course I do. I know it's against your religion and all. Sure I know how you feel.
 * Amy: But you're doing it just the same. Oh Will, we were married just a few minutes ago. We've got our whole lives ahead of us. Doesn't that mean anything to you?
 * Kane: You know I've only got an hour and I've got lots to do. Stay at the hotel until it's over.
 * Amy: No, I won't be here when it's over. You're asking me to wait an hour to find out if I'm going to be a wife or a widow. I say it's too long to wait. I won't do it...I mean it. If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves here.
 * Kane: [resolutely] I've got to stay.

 * Judge Mettrick: In the 5th century B.C., the citizens of Athens, having suffered grievously under a tyrant, managed to depose and banish him. However when he returned some years later, with an army of mercenary, those same citizens not only opened the gates for him, but stood by while he executed members of the League of Government. A similar thing happened about eight years ago in a town called Indian Falls. I escaped death only through the intercession of a lady of somewhat dubious reputation - and uh, the cost of a very handsome ring which once belonged to my mother. Unfortunately, I have no more rings.
 * Kane: You're a judge!
 * Judge Mettrick: I've been a judge many times in many towns. I hope to live to be a judge again. Why must you be so stupid? Have you forgotten what he is? Have you forgotten what he's done to people? Have your forgotten that he's crazy? Don't you remember when he sat in that chair and said, 'You'll never hang me. I'll come back. I'll kill you, Will Kane. I swear it, I'll kill you.'

 * Judge Mettrick: This is just a dirty little village in the middle of nowhere. Nothing that happens here is really important. Now get out.
 * Kane: There isn't time.

 * Harvey: If you'd gone with a new Marshal not due here 'til tomorrow, I'd be in charge around here, right?...If I'm good enough to hold down a job when there's trouble, how come the city fathers didn't trust me with it permanently?
 * Kane: I don't know.
 * Harvey: Don't ya?
 * Kane: No.
 * Harvey: That's funny. I figured you carried a lot of weight.
 * Kane: Maybe they didn't ask me. Maybe they figured you were too young.
 * Harvey: Do you think I'm too young too?
 * Kane: You sure act like it sometimes. Come on.
 * Harvey: It's very simple, Will. All you've got to do is tell the old boys when they come that I'm the new marshal. And tomorrow, they can tell the other fella they're sorry but the job's filled.
 * Kane: You really mean it, don't ya?
 * Harvey: Sure.
 * Kane: Well, I can't do it.
 * Harvey: Why not?
 * Kane: If you don't know, it's no use me tellin' ya.
 * Harvey: You mean you won't do it.
 * Kane: Have it your way.
 * Harvey: All right. The truth is, you probably talked against me from the start. You've been sore about me and Helen Ramirez right along, ain't ya?
 * Kane: You and Helen Ramirez? It so happens I didn't know, and it doesn't mean anything to me one way or the other. You ought to know that.
 * Harvey: Yeah, you've been washed up for more than a year. You go out and get yourself married, only you can't stand anybody takin' your place there, can ya, especially me?

 * Helen: What are you looking at? You think I have changed? Well, what do you want? Do you want me to help you? Do you want me to ask Frank to let you go? Do you want me to beg for you? Well, I would not do it. I would not lift a finger for you.
 * Kane: I came to tell ya he was comin'. I should have figured you'd know about it.
 * Helen: I know about it.
 * Kane: I think you ought to get out of town. I might not be able to, well...anything can happen.
 * Helen: I'm not afraid of him.
 * Kane: I know you're not, but you, you know how he is.
 * Helen: I know how he is. Maybe he doesn't know.
 * Kane: He's probably got letters.
 * Helen: Probably. Nothing in life is free. I'm getting out. I'm packing.
 * Kane: That's good.
 * Helen: Un año sin verte. ("One year without seeing you.")
 * Kane: Si, lo sé. ("Yes, I know it.")
 * Kane: Goodbye, Helen.
 * Helen: Kane, if you're smart, you will get out too.
 * Kane: I can't.
 * Helen: I know.

 * Coy: [the town has gathered in the church to discuss what is to be done] Yes, we all know who Miller is, but we put him away once. And who saved him from hanging? The politicians up North. I say this is their mess. Let them take care of it.
 * Sawyer: We've been payin' good money right along for a marshal and deputies. Now the first time there's any trouble, we're supposed to take care of it ourselves. Well, what have we been payin' for all this time? I say we're not peace officers. This ain't our job!
 * Man: I've been sayin' right along, we ought to have more deputies. If we did, we wouldn't be facin' this thing now.
 * Ezra: [stands] I can't believe I've heard some of the things that have been said here. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Sure, we paid this man and he was the best marshal this town ever had. It ain't his trouble, it's ours. I tell ya, if we don't do what's right, we're gonna have plenty more trouble. So there ain't but one thing to do now, and you all know what that is.
 * Jimmy: This whole thing's been handled wrong. Here's those three killers walking the streets bold as brass. Why didn't you arrest 'em, Marshal? Why didn't you put 'em in jail where they ought to be? Then we'd only have Miller to worry about instead of the four of 'em.
 * Kane: I haven't anything to arrest them for, Mr. Trumbull. They haven't done anything. There's no law against them sittin' on a bench at the depot.
 * Woman: [stands] What's the matter with you people? Don't you remember when a decent woman couldn't walk down the street in broad daylight? Don't you remember when this wasn't a fit place to bring up a child? How can you sit here and talk and talk and talk like this?
 * Dr. Mahin: The commandments say, 'Thou shalt not kill,' but we hire men to go out and do it for us. The right and the wrong seem pretty clear here. But if you're asking me to tell my people to go out and kill and maybe get themselves killed, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.
 * Mayor Henderson: What this town owes Will Kane here it can never repay with money - and don't ever forget it. He's the best marshal we ever had. Maybe the best marshal we'll ever have. So if Miller comes back here today, it's our problem, not his. It's our problem because this is our town. We made it with our own hands out of nothing. And if we want to keep it decent, keep it growing, we've got to think mighty clear here today. And we've gotta have the courage to do what we think is right, no matter how hard it is. All right. There's gonna be fighting when Kane and Miller meet and somebody's gonna get hurt, that's for sure. Now, people up North are thinking about this town - thinking mighty hard. Thinking about sending money down here to put up stores and to build factories. It'll mean a lot to this town, an awful lot. But if they're gonna read about shooting and killing in the streets, what are they gonna think then? I'll tell ya. They're gonna think this is just another wide-open town and everything we worked for will be wiped out. In one day, this town will be set back five years. And I don't think we can let that happen. Mind you, you all know how I feel about this man. He's a mighty brave man, a good man. He didn't have to come back here today. And for his sake and the sake of this town, I wish he hadn't. Because if he's not here when Miller comes, my hunch is there won't be any trouble, not one bit. Tomorrow, we'll have a new Marshal. And if we can all agree here to offer him our services, I think we can handle anything that comes along. And to me, that makes sense. To me, that's the only way out of this. Will, I think you'd better go while there's still time. It's better for you, and it's better for us.

 * Amy: That man downstairs, the clerk, he said things about you and Will. I've been trying to understand why he wouldn't go with me, and now all I can think of is that it's got to be because of you...Let him go, he still has a chance. Let him go.
 * Helen: He isn't staying for me. I haven't spoken to him for a year - until today. I am leaving on the same train you are...What kind of woman are you? How can you leave him like this? Does the sound of the guns frighten you that much?
 * Amy: I've heard guns. My father and my brother were killed by guns. They were on the right side but that didn't help them any when the shooting started. My brother was nineteen. I watched him die. That's when I became a Quaker. I don't care who's right or who's wrong. There's got to be some better way for people to live. Will knows how I feel about it.
 * Helen: I hate this town. I always hated it - to be a Mexican woman in a town like this.
 * Amy: I understand.
 * Helen: You do? That's good. I don't understand you. No matter what you say. If Kane was my man, I'd never leave him like this. I'd get a gun. I'd fight.
 * Amy: Why don't you?
 * Helen: He is not my man. He's yours.

 * Harvey: Ya scared?
 * Kane: I guess so.
 * Harvey: Sure, it stands to reason. [Harvey saddles a horse]
 * Kane: Seems like all everybody and his brother wants is to get me out of town.
 * Harvey: Nobody wants to see you get killed. [Kane turns to leave] Hold it, where are you going?
 * Kane: I don't know. Back to the office, I guess.
 * Harvey: Oh no. You're gettin' on that horse and you're gettin' out. [He grabs Kane] What's the matter with you? You were ready to do it yourself. You said so.
 * Kane: Look, Harv. I thought about it because I was tired. You think about a lot of things when you're tired. But I can't do it.
 * Harvey: Why?
 * Kane: I don't know.
 * Harvey: Get on that horse, Will!
 * Kane: Why is it so important to you? You don't care if I live or die.
 * Harvey: Come on.
 * Kane: Don't shove me, Harv, I'm tired of being shoved.

 * Herb: Time's gettin' pretty short.
 * Kane: It sure is.
 * Herb: When are the other boys gonna get here? We gotta make plans.
 * Kane: The other boys? There aren't any other boys, Herb. It's just you and me.
 * Herb: [nervously smiles and chuckles] You're jokin'.
 * Kane: No, I couldn't get anybody.
 * Herb: I don't believe it. This town ain't that low.
 * Kane: I couldn't get anybody.
 * Herb: Then it's just you and me.
 * Kane: I guess so.
 * Herb: You and me against Miller and all the rest of them?
 * Kane: That's right. Do you want out, Herb?
 * Herb: Well, it isn't that I want out, no. You see. Look, I'll tell ya the truth. I didn't figure on anything like this, Will.
 * Kane: Neither did I.
 * Herb: I volunteered. You know I did. You didn't have to come to me. I was ready. Sure, I'm ready now - but this is different, Will. This ain't like what you said it was gonna be. This is just plain committing suicide and for what? Why me? I'm no lawman. I just live here. I got nothin' personal against nobody. I got no stake in this.
 * Kane: I guess not.
 * Herb: There's a limit how much you can ask a man. I got a wife and kids. What about my kids?
 * Kane: Go on home to your kids, Herb.

 * [Johnny wanders in on Marshal Kane, who is sitting at his desk, face buried in his arms, and appears to be crying. The marshal stops as soon as he hears Johnny coming in and looks up at him]
 * Kane: What do you want?
 * Johnny: I found them, all but Mr Henderson.
 * Kane: I found him, thanks.
 * Johnny: You're welcome. Marshal, let me fight with you. I ain't afraid.
 * Kane: No.
 * Johnny: Please, let me, Marshal!
 * Kane: You're a kid! You're a baby!
 * Johnny: I'm sixteen! I can handle a gun, too!
 * Kane: You're fourteen. What do you wanna lie for?
 * Johnny: I'm big for my age! Please, Marshal!
 * Kane: Well, you're big for your age, but no, go on, get out of here.

Yacht rock

Yacht rock is a neologism for a broad music style and aesthetic commonly associated with soft rock, one of the most commercially successful genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s.

Quotes

 * Young people today, when they mention our kind of band, they visualize us on our boats in the ’70s drinking Chardonnay, playing our guitars and sailing past Malibu...I never owned a sailboat in my life.
 * Peter Beckett, who co-wrote Player's 1977 song "Baby Come Back," quoted in "Can You Sail to It? Then It Must Be 'Yacht Rock'", The Wall Street Journal (October 11, 2015)

 * These "yacht rockers" that scored my early years seemed to clash with the artists I came of age with in my teens and 20s and were consigned to kitsch silliness along with fondue sets and Jello moulds quivering with mysterious canned fruit.
 * Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, "Cruise control: how yacht rock sailed back into fashion", The Guardian (April 20, 2016)

 * Yacht somehow became pigeonholed as an embarrassing relic of the overkill 80s, the silly, sad relative we want to ignore when we see them in public...It was hard to relate to Sailing away, Christopher Cross-style, on a gleaming boat, when you and your peers were drowning in student loans, recession and limited employment prospects.
 * Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, "Cruise control: how yacht rock sailed back into fashion", The Guardian (April 20, 2016)

 * Broadly speaking, yacht rock is an ocean of smooth, soft-listening music made in the late '70s and early '80s by artists like Toto, Hall & Oates and Kenny Loggins — music you can sail to.

 * David Dye, "That '70s Week: Yacht Rock" (March 15, 2017)

 * There's also a common misconception that just because it's about a boat, or the ocean, or sailing, that it's yacht rock. That is most definitely nyacht true.
 * JD Ryznar, quoted in "That '70s Week: Yacht Rock" (March 15, 2017)

Ernest Bevin

Ernest Bevin (9 March 1881 – 14 April 1951) was a British statesman, Labour politician, and trade union leader. He co-founded and served as general secretary of the powerful Transport and General Workers' Union from 1922 to 1940, and as Minister of Labour in Winston Churchill's coalition government during World War II. He succeeded in maximizing the British labour supply, for both the armed services and domestic industrial production, with a minimum of strikes and disruption. His most important role came as Foreign Secretary in Clement Attlee's post-war Labour Government of 1945–51, when the Cold War was beginning and when the United Kingdom had been weakened by World War II. He gained American financial support, strongly opposed Communism, and aided in the creation of NATO. Bevin's tenure also saw the end of the Mandate of Palestine and the creation of the State of Israel.

1920s

 * If the workers see themselves faced with defeat through starvation, they will prefer to go down fighting rather than fainting — and whether or not we leaders agree.
 * Message to the American Federation of Labor appealing for help in the General Strike, quoted in New York World (10 May 1926)

 * The most conservative man in the world is the British Trade Unionist when you want to change him.
 * Speech to the Trades Union Congress General Council (8 September 1927), quoted in Report of the Proceedings of the Trade Union Congress, 1927

1930s

 * What I say is this, and I am not afraid of saying it. I sit on a Colonial Development Committee under an Act passed by the Labour Government, and I see the expenditure of millions of pounds going on for the development of areas where native races have not yet begun to be industrialised. You talk about the coal trade. Ought there not to be some control against the possible development of coal in Tanganyika and in East Africa, which might come into competition with your coal here at a time when the world does not want it?
 * Speech to the Trades Union Congress (1930), quoted in Trades Union Congress, Annual Report (1930), p. 286 and Geoffrey Foote, The Labour Party's Political Thought: A History (1986), p. 166

 * It is placing the Executive and the Movement in an absolutely wrong position to be taking your conscience round from body to body asking to be told what you ought to do with it.
 * Speech to the Labour Party conference (1 October 1935), quoted in Labour Party Annual Conference Report 1935, p. 178. Bevin was criticising George Lansbury. Lansbury, a pacifist, was publicly agonising about the need to confront fascist Italy over Abyssinia; Bevin's speech convinced the conference to back sanctions, and when the vote went against him, Lansbury resigned as Leader of the Labour Party.

 * From the day Hitler came to power, I have felt that the democratic countries would have to face war... I cannot see any way of stopping Hitler and the other dictators except by force.
 * Speech to the Executive Council of the Transport and General Workers' Union (March 1937), quoted in Alan Bullock, Ernest Bevin: Trade Union Leader, 1881–1940 (1960), p. 592

1940s

 * The kind of middle-class mentality which actuates both those responsible for strategy and government has little knowledge of the new psychology and organizing ability of the totalitarian States. The forces we are fighting are governed neither by the old strategy nor follow the old tactics.
 * Speech at Stoke-on-Trent (1 May 1940), quoted in "Complacent Conduct of the War", The Times (3 May 1940), p. 3

 * They say Gladstone was at the Treasury from 1860 to 1930. I'm going to be Minister of Labour from 1940 to 1990.
 * Remark after being appointed Minister of Labour (c. 13 May 1940), quoted in Francis Williams, Ernest Bevin (1952), p. 217

 * If anyone asks me who was responsible for the British policy leading up to the war, I should, as a Labour man myself, make a confession and say: "All of us". We refused absolutely to face the facts. When the issue came of arming or rearming millions of people in this country...we refused to face the real issue at a critical moment. But what is the good of blaming anybody? We cannot make our action retrospective whatever we do. We have to start from now and try to do the best we can.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (29 July 1941), quoted in Hansard, House of Commons, 5th series, vol. 373, col. 1362

 * The fact of it is that all of us agreed to save 6d. in the Income Tax by breaking up the Army in peace-time and not having it prepared when war broke out...I will never be a party to it again.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (4 December 1941), quoted in Hansard, House of Commons, 5th series, vol. 376, col. 1336

 * So long as I have any power at all I will never be a party to treating the Army in the future as it has been treated in the past. They broke up in peace-time the very foundations of the Army structure, and expected to build it up during war-time with the enemy at the gates.
 * Western Daily Press (30 March 1942)

 * We need 720,000 men continuously employed in this industry... This is where you boys come in... [O]ur fighting men will not be able to achieve their purpose unless we get an adequate supply of coal.
 * Broadcast to sixth-form boys (12 November 1943), quoted in British Information Services, British Speeches of the Day, Volume 1 (1943), p. 23. Bevin had introduced a system whereby some men conscripted for National Service would be transferred to working in coal-mining; because of this speech, they were known as 'Bevin Boys'.

 * There should be a study of a house directly elected by the people of the world to whom the nations are accountable.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (23 November 1945)

 * I think that in the little argument going on now in New York and the differences that have arisen there are emerging three very fundamental principles. One is that it is improper to negotiate or attempt to negotiate or attempt to gain concessions by a great Power out of a little Power by means of occupying that country with your forces. It is the tradition — and I am not saying of one or other country only they have done it — but it is nineteenth-century imperialism that really must be left behind, and I believe that a solution will be found and the principle accepted that those of us who represent the great Powers will not do that.
 * Speech at Bristol (30 March 1946), referring to the negotiations over the United Nations Charter, quoted in "Mr. Bevin on World Politics", The Times (1 April 1946), p. 4

 * If I may again refer to the different political concepts, there is, I think rather unfortunately, running through all the speeches and writings of our Soviet friends the theory that they alone represent the workers — that they alone are democratic.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (4 June 1946), quoted in Hansard, House of Commons, 5th series, vol. 423, col. 1827

 * I come now to the question of diplomatic personnel... It is said that I am admitting to the service Eton and Harrow. I am not one of those who decry Eton and Harrow. I was very glad of them in the Battle of Britain—by God, I was!—those fellows paid the price in the Royal Air Force on those fatal days. If the Universities are to be criticized, well, put up a vote of censure on Harold Laski, because it is the product of the Universities I have got to accept.
 * Speech to the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth (12 June 1946), quoted in British Information Services, British Speeches of the Day, Vol. IV (1946), pp. 423-424

 * That won't do at all .. we've got to have this .. I don't mind for myself, but I don't want any other Foreign Secretary of this country to be talked to or at by a Secretary of State in the United States as I have just had in my discussions with Mr Byrnes. We've got to have this thing over here whatever it costs .. We've got to have the bloody Union Jack on top of it.
 * Remarks at Cabinet Committee GEN75 (25 October 1946), about the development of the British atomic bomb, quoted in Peter Hennessy, Cabinets and the Bomb (2007), p. 48

 * His Majesty's Government have thus been faced with an irreconcilable conflict of principles. There are in Palestine about 1,200,000 Arabs and 600,000 Jews. For the Jews the essential point of principle is the creation of a sovereign Jewish State. For the Arabs, the essential point of principle is to resist to the last the establishment of Jewish sovereignty in any part of Palestine.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (18 February 1947)

 * [T]his Pact is a purely defensive arrangement for the common security of the countries who join it, and it is not directed against anyone. If we are accused of ganging up against any country or group of countries I should say simply: "Examine the text. There is no secrecy about it, and there are no secret clauses. You will not find in the text any provision which threatens the security or the well-being of any nation." No nation innocent of aggressive intentions need have the slightest fear or apprehension about it.
 * Speech in the House of Commons on NATO (18 March 1949)

 * [T]he Pact must be regarded as a concrete expression of the identity of view long held among the Western nations. It recognises the common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law between nations. It is not elaborate; its simplicity is apparent, but I can assure the House that it is based on an understanding and determination to preserve our way of life.
 * Speech in the House of Commons on NATO (18 March 1949)

 * My policy is to be able to take a ticket at Victoria station and go anywhere I damn well please!
 * Bevin's definition of his foreign policy. attributed to Bevin in the Spectator (20 April 1951). Variously quoted as "to be able to buy a ticket at Victoria Station to anywhere I damn please!"

Quotes about Ernest Bevin

 * I should like to see in any reconstructed Government a strong Labour leader like Bevin.
 * Stanley Baldwin in conversation with Thomas Jones (27 February 1934), quoted in Thomas Jones, A Diary with Letters, 1931–1950 (1954), p. 123

 * There is no doubt that the continuity of foreign policy—which caused one Labour man to remark of Ernest Bevin, "Hasn't Anthony Eden grown fat?"—blunted the blood-letting edge of party warfare during much of the Attlee government's tenure. Bevin was among several prominent Labour politicians who in the 1945 election had promised that Anglo-Russian relations would be better with a left-wing British Government: "Left can speak to left in comradeship and confidence", he had claimed. In office he proved a man big enough to eat his own unguarded words, and will rank high in history as one of the chief organisers of Western resistance against the advance of revolutionary Communism from the East. Particularly in the latter part of the 1945–50 Parliament I spoke with some frequency on foreign affairs against Bevin―or, rather, with Bevin; for, not only was our private relationship friendly, but on the major public issues arising from the "cold war" there was rarely much between us save a difference of emphasis or detail. I remember his taking me into the Smoking Room one evening and saying, "’Ave a beer, Rab, I'm worried about the A-rabs."
 * R. A. Butler, The Art of the Possible (1971), p. 131

 * Bevin will, I think, do well. He knows a good deal, is prepared to read any amount, seems to take in what he does read, and is capable of making up his own mind and sticking up for his (or our) point of view against anyone. I think he's the best we could have had. He effaces Attlee, and at Big 3 meetings he does all the talking while Attlee nods his head convulsively and smokes his pipe.
 * Alexander Cadogan, diary entry (31 July 1945), quoted in The Diaries of Sir Alexander Cadogan O.M., 1938–1945, ed. David Dilks (1971), p. 778

 * [Bevin is] far the most distinguished man the Labour Party have thrown up in my time.
 * Winston Churchill in conversation with Anthony Eden (5 October 1944), quoted in John Colville, The Fringes of Power: Downing Street Diaries 1939–1955 (1985), p. 522

 * Ernest Bevin had many of the strongest characteristics of the English race. His manliness, his common sense, his rough simplicity, sturdiness and kind heart, easy geniality and generosity, all are qualities which we who live in the southern part of this famous island regard with admiration.
 * Winston Churchill's remarks on unveiling a bust of Bevin in the Foreign Office, quoted in "Sir W. Churchill on 'a great Englishman'", The Times (5 November 1953), p. 5

 * Tizard was fond of describing an incident round a conference table at which the technical pros and cons of Britain starting her own nuclear power industry were being debated. It appeared that the cons were winning when Bevin suddenly intervened: “What!” he said. “Do you mean to say that our kids are going to have to grow up without the benefits of nuclear energy?” Tizard, explaining that no-one could really avoid answering such blunt questions, would add: “Fine man, Bevin.”
 * Ronald W. Clark, Tizard (1965), p. 391

 * [T]he [Labour] Party's success electorally has depended upon its historical identification with working-class interests. Sidney and Beatrice Webb helped, but it was the trade unions that made Labour a major party of state. Ernest Bevin, not Methodism or Marxism, is Labour's heritage.
 * Stephen Haseler, The Gaitskellites: Revisionism in the British Labour Party 1951–64 (1969), p. 1

 * Ernest Bevin died in April. I was deeply moved. By then I had come to regard him, as I still do, as one of the two greatest democratic politicians this century; the other is Franklin Roosevelt. The American patrician and the British trade unionist had two things in common – a powerful sense of direction which was rooted in moral principle, and a street-wise pragmatism in choosing the best route forward. Both men, too, had a constructive approach to politics. They were builders, not destroyers.
 * Denis Healey, The Time of My Life (1989; 1990), pp. 125–126

 * Hitherto I had regarded him with great admiration: from now onwards, I regarded him with great affection. He was intensely human, warm-hearted, simple and brave, and his common sense was as massive as his shoulders. He threw his whole heart and soul into the war, and no Englishman of any political party had a deeper love for his country, a greater pride in her past, or a surer faith in her future. At the same time he loved his fellow men the world over, and was very internationally minded. As Foreign Secretary in the years of Soviet expansion westwards he was one of the principal architects of the North Atlantic Alliance.
 * Hastings Ismay, The Memoirs of General The Lord Ismay, K.G., P.C., G.C.B., C.H., D.S.O. (1960), p. 354

 * [H]e was in every sense a big man, who concerned himself only with essentials. "You know my mind" meant that one could go away and take the necessary action without any further reference to him. If the subsequent telegrams and despatches did not quite meet his views, he never complained so long as they conformed broadly to his instructions. This made him very easy and pleasant to work for. He was equally magnanimous in negotiation. When dealing with the Russians he never pulled his punches, but he showed the utmost consideration for his Western associates... But he never allowed himself to be bounced into doing anything against his better judgement. Indeed it was misguised to try to bounce him into anything at all. "I will not be rushed", was his reply. He required time to read the files and to subject his experts to a penetrating cross-examination. Since he had the memory of an elephant, it behoved the expert to be careful. "That's not what you told me a year ago", might be his retort to an ill-considered piece of advice.
 * Ivone Kirkpatrick, The Inner Circle (1959), pp. 202-203

 * He was interested in his predecessors in office and particularly Lord Curzon. He saw clearly that what hampered him most in the field of foreign affairs was the precarious state of our economy. So he envied his predecessors and he often asked me: "What would Lord Curzon do if he were in my shoes?" This led to reminiscences of the old Foreign Office, and I once told him a story of Lord Curzon's witty reply to an inappropriate telegram from an Ambassador abroad. More than a year later I went to see him on some Nato problem, but before I could broach my subject he said with a wicked grin: "I behaved like Lord Curzon this morning." "Oh, indeed," I replied. "What did you do?" "I saw a telegram from our Ambassador in Ruritania, reporting that reputable people in Ruritania were criticising the King's matrimonial antics. So I telegraphed back, 'Where have you found reputable people in Ruritania?'"
 * Ivone Kirkpatrick, The Inner Circle (1959), p. 203

 * In general his attitude was robust and British; and one could foretell exactly what it would be in any given circumstance. He was a rock.
 * Ivone Kirkpatrick, The Inner Circle (1959), pp. 204-205

 * One thing which left its mark upon him was the bellicose attitude of the German Social Democrats in 1914, for which he never forgave them. He felt betrayed and it made him more anti-German than anything else the Germans ever did. His post-war experience confirmed him in his gloomy view of German Social Democracy and he found Dr. Adenauer much less difficult than Dr. Schumacher. But to the end he remained just as suspicious and resentful of Germany as he had ever been, although he never allowed his feelings on this subject to take command of his head.
 * Ivone Kirkpatrick, The Inner Circle (1959), p. 205

 * He is a powerful fellow, with a bull neck and a huge voice – a born leader...if there is trouble, mark my words! You will hear more of Bevin!
 * David Lloyd George in conversation with George Riddell (1 March 1919), quoted in J. M. McEwen (ed.), The Riddell Diaries 1908-1923 (1986), p. 258

 * Some of us do not think that passports are the same since they were introduced by the words, "We, Ernest Bevin".
 * Hansard HL 5ser vol 565 col 405 (22 June 1995)
 * Lord McIntosh of Haringey. Similar sentiments have also been voiced by Robert Robinson.

 * Putting all this together during March 1945, British and American leaders detected a fundamental and sinister shift of Soviet policy. Why it had happened, however, seemed less clear. Most attempts at explanation took as their premise the continued good faith of Stalin himself: that seemed to be one of the lessons of Yalta, indeed of wartime summitry as a whole. Therefore the change of heart was presumed to lie with his advisors—those sinister forces supposedly swirling around in the shadowy recesses of the Kremlin. British Cabinet Minister Ernest Bevin (soon to become foreign secretary) suggested that blame for the turnaround should be ascribed to Molotov. Alternatives postulated by the Foreign Office were the “Party bosses behind the scenes” or “Army marshals at the front” who were throwing their weight about amid the chaos of Eastern Europe. Churchill was similarly unwilling to blame Stalin. On 5 April he wrote darkly to FDR about “the Soviet leaders, whoever they may be.”
 * David Reynolds, Summits: Six Meetings That Changed the World (2007), pp. 149-150

 * One of the biggest surprises the Soviets got in 1945 was the Labour Party victory in the British general election. Stalin may have distrusted Winston Churchill and seen in him the embodiment of British upper-class rule, but Winston was the devil he knew, just as he knew, through his spies, that the old Conservative had formed a bit of a sentimental relationship with Stalin as a fellow survivor and victor in World War II. Besides, there was already bad blood between British Labour and Soviet Bolshevism. The leaders of the Labour Party—Clement Attlee, who now became prime minister, and Ernest Bevin, who became foreign secretary—detested the Communists within their own trade union movement; Moscow’s supporters were responsible, both thought, for splitting the movement in the 1920s and 1930s. Bevin, an unskilled worker who had come to prominence as the head of the biggest of the British trade unions, the Transport and General Workers’ Union, had fought Communist influence there and elsewhere relentlessly. In his postwar dealings with Stalin and Molotov, Bevin saw many of these battles repeated on an international scale. Molotov, said Bevin later, was like a Communist in a local Labour Party branch: if you treated him badly, he made the most of the grievance, and if you treated him well, he put up the price next day and abused you. A cabinet colleague viewed Bevin as “full of bright ideas, as well as earthy sense, but dangerously obsessed with Communists."
 * Odd Arne Westad, The Cold War: A World History (2017)

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

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 05:59, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Anna Comnena

Anna Comnena (December 1, 1083 – 1153) was a Byzantine princess and writer of the Alexiad, an account of the life and reign of her father, Emperor Alexios I.

Preface

 * The stream of Time, irresistible, ever moving, carries off and bears away all things that come to birth and plunges them into utter darkness, both deeds of no account and deeds which are mighty and worthy of commemoration; as the playwright [Sophocles] says, it 'brings to light that which was unseen and shrouds from us that which was manifest.' Nevertheless, the science of History is a great bulwark against this stream of Time; in a way it checks this irresistible flood, it holds in a tight grasp whatever it can seize floating on the surface and will not allow it to slip away into the depths of Oblivion.

 * I, having realized the effects wrought by Time, desire now by means of my writings to give an account of my father's deeds, which do not deserve to be consigned to Forgetfulness nor to be swept away on the flood of Time into an ocean of Non-Remembrance; I wish to recall everything...

 * It is extraordinary that nobody nowadays under the stress of great troubles is turned into stone or a bird or a tree or some inanimate object; they used to undergo such metamorphoses in ancient times (or so they say), though whether that is myth or a true story I know not. Maybe it would be better to change one's nature into something that lacks all feeling, rather than be so sensitive to evil. Had that been possible, these calamities would in all probability have turned me to stone.

 * Even now I cannot believe that I am still alive and writing this account of the emperor's death. I put my hands to my eyes, wondering if what I am relating here is not all a dream - or maybe it is not a dream: perhaps it is a delusion and I am mad, the victim of some extraordinary and monstrous hallucination. How comes it that when he is dead I am still numbered among the living?

Book 1

 * One such was that braggart Robert, notorious for his power-lust, born in Normandy, but nursed and nourished by manifold Evil.
 * Of the Norman adventurer Robert Guiscard

 * Constantine was Nature's masterpiece, a triumph, as it were, of God's handiwork. One look at him would convince anyone that here was a descendant of the mythical Golden Age of the Greeks, so infinite was his charm.
 * Of Constantine Doukas

 * While the abominable pope with his spiritual peace and evangelic peace, this despot, marched to make war on his own kindred with might and main - the man of peace, too, and disciple of the Man of Peace!
 * Of Pope Gregory VII

 * Father and son you might liken to caterpillars and locusts, for what was left by Robert, his son fed on and devoured.
 * Of Robert Guiscard and his son Bohemund
