Delta State

Delta State (2004–2005) is a cartoon about four young amnesiacs, who are searching for clues to their past by entering an alternate dimension called the Delta State.

First Contact (Part One)

 * Philip: A lot of good he does us, it's like calling a suicide help line and being put on hold.

First Contact (Part Two)

 * Philip: Brave knight save beautiful damsel, earns a well deserved… chicken wing!

The Reading

 * Claire: How dare you listen into my phone calls?!
 * Philip: 30 million people listened into your phone call. You were on T.V.

 * Chantal: To know the future is not to change it.

Fusion

 * Philip: You know what they say about starting at the bottom and working your way up? Well, I'm about five stories below the bottom.

 * Philip: Rifters! Ah man, I thought you were just an ordinary nutcase.

The Girlfriend

 * Philip: I had to go out. It was an emergency... Well, I went to go have a shower this morning but we were all out of soap. All we had left was that odorless stuff that Martin bought. So, that means the only smell I’d have would be my own and I’m not that comfortable about how I smell, so I had to go out and buy some cologne.

 * Luna: You bought cologne at a grocery store?
 * Philip: Well, it’s not actually cologne. It’s car freshener.

 * Claire: Oh, woah, woah, wait a minute, yesterday you were lying on the couch, in your sweat pants, all day, watching the monster truck rally on TV and today you’re smelling like a ’84 Chevy behind your ears for Ms. Right? That’s pretty fast work.

 * Philip: You are so busted. I can’t believe you guys would spy on me.
 * Claire: It’s not spying. It’s more like chaperoning.

 * Philip: It was like ... nothing, I dunno. Now that she's back to her old self I guess we just have nothing to talk about. I guess I was attracted to the rifter part.
 * Claire: It's always the bad girls.
 * Philip: I guess I'm just attracted to the 'dark side'!

Vote Rifter

 * Philip: I hate nametags.
 * Luna: You hate everything.
 * Philip: Hey, if I want a nametag, I’ll wear a bowling shirt.

Cabin Fever

 * Philip: Don’t pizza guys have to take some kind of oath or something, like neither rain, nor sleet something something?
 * Claire: That’s the post office, Philip.
 * Philip: Well, that’s brain dead. I mean, who’s more important: the pizza delivery guy or the mail delivery guy?

Mind Over Matter
Philip: Claire! That was my favourite mug! When it got hot, the girl's clothes came off.

Claire: (after having her rifter powers destroyed) : I felt like I wanted to destroy you all. Philip : Don't worry, we all have times like that. (everyone stares at him) Philip: What?

Blast From The Past

 * Martin: Look, I didn't wanna scare you.
 * Claire: Well, finding pictures of men in your underwear drawer is scary.

Awakening
Philip: I think they're trying to raise money for homeless...puppets...

Claire's Crack Up

 * Sven: What a pitiful way to die. And then again, what a pitiful way to live. How does the wolf find the weakened elk? Time to cull the herd.

Philip: Hello? Right... Yes, no, I didn't forget... No, yes, yes... Yes, I'm on my way... Yes, thank you. I have to go... I'm late with Mrs. Nosek's delivery... When her blood sugar goes up she goes into this coma and her cats start licking her face, and then she gets this rash... and it's just... it's really not pretty... Sorry for boring you with my problems you must be sick of that!

Road Not Taken
Philip: (Martin and Claire are arguing) I'm just going to go into my room and see if I can find some earplugs to... listen to...

Philip: (When Martin tries to take charge) Damn, I love when you talk like a mission commander.

Philip: Oh, great...reruns...

Couch Time
Martin: He's out of me sights matey!

Labyrinth

 * Claire: Anyone who wears sunglasses indoors is a dink.

 * Luna: We need to get leather recliners. This table is so uncomfortable.

A Mix Up Of Genres

 * Sven: Claire wore herself out transmitting her pathetic little message to you. Oh, don’t ask me if she’ll survive because, well, frankly, I don’t care.
 * Martin: Sven, I swear…
 * Sven: Oh, shut up!

 * Claire: The Delta State. I am through with it. I’m gonna go back to swimming.

 * Brodie: Your job is to go into the Delta State and come back from there alive. Please try to do that.

A Training Day

 * Philip: Prepare for boot camp in the Delta!

 * Philip: The Delta State didn’t control us. We controlled it. Neat, huh? Maybe we can learn to use this power to manipulate reality. You know, like control other people and how they feel about you…

Sweet Dreams

 * Claire: I am so sorry I didn’t reach the required fun quotient. I’ll really try harder to be more fun!

 * Luna: Hmm, Claire’s world. So she calls all the shots. And she holds it all together.

 * Philip: There are probably bears in those woods.

 * Luna: We all want our lives back, Claire, but our real lives not… not some life we made up and control. That’s not living. Real life is… is whatever comes your way and things you can’t control.

Brain Scan

 * Martin: What have you hacked into? And will knowing the answer to that make me an accomplice?
 * Dan: Probably.

 * Martin: And where do you fit in?
 * Dan: I don’t. I just figured I break into their system and win a bet with my buddy.
 * Martin: Ya! And maybe if I turn you in, I can strike a plea bargain.

 * Claire: (to Luna, regarding Luna and Dan) You guys are so cute. It’s sickening.

 * Philip: Rifters are a nice distraction from all the kissing going on over there.

False Identities

 * Luna: Pagers. Cell phone. We’re a generation that demands instant gratification.
 * Philip: Well, you know what, we’re busy. We’ve got a world to save.
 * Luna: You won’t be saving anything if you don’t give me back my burger.

 * Martin: What do we do about Brodie?
 * Philip: We should find him.
 * Martin: Wow. Wow, Phil. It’s a shame to let a strategic genius to go to waste.

 * Martin: Every great man need a clueless sidekick.

 * Jerzy: Luna you’re late.
 * Luna: I know. And I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.
 * Jerzy: You said that last week and the week before that. You can be replaced, you know.
 * Luna: Well, you said that last week and the week before that.

 * Philip: Brodie, what was that all about? I’m not proud of this but I was so scared I almost wet my pants.

 * Luna: What ya doin’?
 * Philip: I’m centering myself by practicing the ancient art of Yo-ga...
 * Luna: You’re not doing anything except lying there.
 * Philip: The tape got stuck in the VCR. This is as far as I got.

 * Philip: Looks like this Thomas guy is interested in Claire in a totally serial killer stalker kinda way.

 * Philip: (regarding Martin and Claire fighting) Oh, this is better than a soap.

The Orb

 * Brodie: Energy begets matter, begets time, begets that which is.

 * Philip: Just thinking about recoging where these towels have been is making me want to hurl.

Restraing Order

 * Martin: You know what I miss? I miss water that doesn’t taste like corroded metal.

Déjà Vu

 * Philip: Vote him off. He had no right to treat her like that.
 * Claire: How can you watch this drivel?
 * Philip: Easy, Claire. I open my eyes, I fix them on the little box and the rest just happens.

 * Philip: We should do something.
 * Martin: Banks aren’t our jurisdiction. They’ve got other super-crazy-super heroes for that.
 * Claire: What other crazy-super-crazy heroes?
 * Martin: I’m sure the mayor’s already activated his bat signal or something.
 * Philip: How come we don’t have a bat signal?

 * Philip: GUACAMOLE!

Full Circle

 * Philip: Shh, shh, don’t cry. It’s okay. Everything is going to be fine. Look, we turned out great. See?

 * Philip: Minoan. Discovered by a British Archeologist in year 1657. And the museum attendant just threw his gum in it.

Sven: I am very disappointed in you Maria.

The Final Battle

 * Luna: I usually have flashes of the future but this is a vision of the past. And we were younger. And Martin even had dorky hair.

 * Claire: I hate to be the voice of reason but how are we going to time travel?

 * Martin: I guess we’ve just discovered a new group power.
 * Philip: Does that mean we need like matching costumes and a secret handshake?

 * Philip: What? I’m nervous. I crack jokes when I’m nervous.

 * Philip: It’s been a horrible day for all of us. But look at it this way; we get to start our new lives. Rifter free! Can you believe it?
 * Luna: No, I can’t.

Mary I of England

Mary I of England (February 18 1516 – November 17 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, and as "Bloody Mary" by her Protestant opponents, was Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death in 1558. She is best known for her vigorous attempt to reverse the English Reformation, which had begun during the reign of her father, Henry VIII. Her attempt to restore to the Church the property confiscated in the previous two reigns was largely thwarted by Parliament, but during her five-year reign, Mary had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions.

Quotes

 * Priest! Priest! Music! Music!
 * Said at the age of two to the organist Friar Memmo

 * I recognize no Queen but my mother. But if the King's Mistress would intercede with the King on my behalf, then I would be grateful.
 * Said referring to one of King Henry VIII's new wives.

 * While my father lives I shall be only the Lady Mary, the most unhappy lady in Christendom.
 * Said while her father was married to Anne Boleyn

 * This natural life of ours is but a pilgrimage from this wandering world, and exile from our own country: that is to say, a way from all misery to thee (Lord) which art our whole felicity. And lest the pleasantness and commodity of this life should withdraw us from the going to the right and speedy way to thee, thou dost stir and provoke us forward, and as yet ward prick us with thorns, to the intent we should covet a quiet rest, and end of our journey. Therefore sickness, weepings, sorrow, mourning, and in conclusion all adversities be unto us as spurs; with the which we being dull horses, or rather very asses, are forced not to remain long in this transitory way. Wherefore Lord, give us grace to forget this wayfaring journey, and to remember our proper and true country. And if thou do add a weight of adversity, add thereunto strength, that we shall not be overcome with that burden: but having our minds continually erected and lift up to thee, we may be able to strongly bear it. Lord! all things be thine; therefore do with all things, without any exception, as shall seem convenient to thine unsearchable wisdom. And give us grace never to will but as thou wilt. So be it.
 * A meditation touching adversity, written by Mary in 1549

 * Her majesty, being now in possession of her imperial crown and estate pertaining to it, cannot forsake that faith that the whole world knows her to have followed and practiced since her birth; she desires, rather, by God's grace, to preserve it till her death; and she desires greatly that her subjects may come to embrace the same faith quietly and with charity, whereby she shall receive great happiness.
 * Proclamation concerning Religion (1553-08-18).

 * When I am dead and opened, you shall find Calais lying in my head.
 * Said during her final illness, referring to England's loss of Calais to France.
 * Raphael Holinshed, The Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland, vol. III, page 1160 (1587).

 * And so am not I.
 * Reply to Jane Dormer telling her that she was no longer sick.

Quotes about Mary I of England

 * She never closde her eare to heare, the rightous man distrest, Nor never sparde her hande to helpe, wher wrong or power opprest. when all was wracke, she was the porte, from peryll unto joye, when all was spoyle, she spared all, she pitied to distroye.
 * Anonymous, The Epitaphe upon the Death of the Most Excellent and our late vertuous Quene Marie, deceased, augmented by the first Author (c. 1558–1559)

 * In greatest stormes she feared not, for God she made her shielde, And all her care she cast on him, who forst her foes to yelde. Her perfecte life in all extremes, her pacient hert dyd shoe, For in this worlde she never founde, but dolfull dayes and woe.
 * Anonymous, The Epitaphe upon the Death of the Most Excellent and our late vertuous Quene Marie, deceased, augmented by the first Author (c. 1558–1559)

 * It was an ancient and commonly received practice, (derived from the civil law, and which also to this day obtains in the Kingdom of France) that, as counsel was not allowed to any prisoner accused of a capital crime, so neither should he be suffered to exculpate himself by the testimony of any witnesses. And therefore it deserves to be remembered, to the honour of Mary I, (whose early sentiments, till her marriage with Philip of Spain, seem to have been humane and generous) that when she appointed sir Richard Morgan chief justice of the common-pleas, she injoined him, “that notwithstanding the old error, which did not admit any witness to speak, or any other matter to be heard, in favour of the adversary, her majesty being party; her highness' pleasure was, that whatsoever could be brought in favour of the subject should be admitted to be heard: and moreover, that the justices should not persuade themselves to sit in judgment otherwise for her highness than for her subject."
 * William Blackstone, Commentary on the Laws of England (1765-1769), Bk IV, ch. 27.

 * The English people had rallied to Mary because she was the offspring of Henry VIII and next in line for the throne, not because she was Catholic, or the daughter of Catherine of Aragon, and certainly not because she was a woman. Mary's great tragedy was that she failed to draw the obvious lessons from this. Her Tudor blood was an advantage to be exploited to the full while her Spanish lineage and gender were, at best, neutral factors in the eyes of most of her subjects. As for her Catholicism, it divided her people: some loved it, some hated it. But Mary subordinated her strong Tudor personality to the demands of her religion, her Spanish sympathies, and contemporary expectations of her gender. The result was the only Tudor reign that could truly be called tragic, even pathetic.
 * Richard Bucholz and Newton Key, Early Modern England, 1485-1714: A Narrative History (2009), p. 108

 * And yet, like her father and grandfather, Mary possessed many traits which should have fit her for a successful reign. Like all Tudors, she was intelligent, courageous, dignified, ad resilient. These qualities had ensured her survival during her father's and brother's reigns. She was well educated: in addition to her native tongue, she spoke Spanish, French, and Latin and could read Greek and Latin. Nor was she entirely serious: she danced and played the lute. Finally, Mary was not without mercy. Apart from Northumberland, few died for the plot to usurp the throne. Even Lady Jane Gray and Guildford Dudley were allowed to live, for the time being, albeit as close prisoners in the Tower. Unfortunately, she was at her accession naive in politics and inexperienced in government, having been repudiated by her father and, thus, never groomed to succeed. Without training or experience, she was forced to rely on her conscience and her faith. In the end, she had too much of the one and was too inflexible in the other for her own or the country's good. More specifically, she was half-Spanish and all Catholic and so saw it as her God-given duty to ally her country with the Spanish Empire and undo the "heresies" of the previous 20 years by restoring the Roman Catholic Church in England at any cost. Both policies would bring misery to her people.
 * Richard Bucholz and Newton Key, Early Modern England, 1485-1714: A Narrative History (2009), p. 108-109

 * The reign of Mary Tudor lasted only five years, but it left an indelible impression. Positive achievements there were none: Pollard declared that sterility was its conclusive note, and this is a verdict with which the dispassionate observer must agree. ... She was personally gentle and inclined to mercy. ... She was also sensible and generous. ... But all her good qualities went for nought because she lacked the essentials. Two things dominated her mind—her religion and her Spanish descent. In the place of the Tudor secular temper, cool political sense, and firm identification with England and the English, she put a passionate devotion to the catholic religion and to Rome, absence of political guile, and pride in being Spanish. The result cannot surprise. Welcomed by the nation as a Tudor and a relief from the ambitions of selfish politicians and the extravagances of reforming divines, she died only five years later execrated by nearly all. Her life was one of almost unrelieved tragedy, but the pity which this naturally excites must not obscure the obstinate wrong-headedness of her rule.
 * Geoffrey Elton, England Under the Tudors (3rd edn., 1991), pp. 214-215

 * Mary burned few as compared with continental practice, but for English conditions and traditions her activities were unprecedented and left an ineradicable memory. More than all the denunciations of Henry VIII, the fires of Smithfield and the like places all over southern England created an undying hatred of the pope and of Roman Catholicism which became one of the marked characteristics of the English for some 350 years. This in itself is an adequate comment on the activities of these earnest and good and rather stupid fanatics, and an answer to those who would always judge people's place in history by their personal morals rather than by the work they did.
 * Geoffrey Elton, England Under the Tudors (3rd edn., 1991), p. 220
 * Religious devotion led Queen Mary - the first woman to rule England in her own name - to commit the atrocities which have blackened her reputation and obliterated the memory of her many acts of clemency and generosity. Mary started life as a princess and heir to the throne, but fell into disgrace and saw her beloved Catholic church dismantled by her father and brother. As Queen, she was determined to restore Catholic worship, but her heavy-handed methods, combined with a bitterly unpopular marriage and her inability to produce an heir, doomed her to failure.
 * Clive Foss, The Tyrants: 2,500 Years of Absolute Power and Corruption (2006), p. 84

 * [W]e shall never find any reign of any prince in this land or any other, which did ever show in it (for the proportion of time), so many arguments of God's great wrath and displeasure, as were to be seen in the reign of this queen Mary; whether we behold the shortness of her time, or the unfortunate event of all her purposes, who seemed never to purpose any thing that came luckily to pass, neither did any thing frame to her purpose, whatsoever she took in hand, touching her own private affairs.
 * John Foxe, Actes and Monuments, Vol. VIII (1849), p. 625

 * Everyone who commented upon Mary's conduct of public affairs remarked upon her diligence and her piety. She rose before dawn, heard mass every day, ate frugally and transacted business incessantly, often until after midnight. ... She was generous to petitioners, and had the reputation for never turning away anyone with a story of grievance or oppression.
 * David Loades, Mary Tudor: A Life (1989), p. 315

 * Whatever the issue, her response was shaped and motivated by the dictates of her conscience. ... She was incapable of political manipulation, and of self-interest in the normal sense. Hysterically indecisive when her conscience was not engaged, she could be both obstinate and ruthless when she saw a clear path of duty before her.
 * David Loades, Mary Tudor: A Life (1989), p. 327

 * The essence of Mary's faith lay in the sacraments, and particularly in the mass.
 * David Loades, Mary Tudor: A Life (1989), p. 330
 * Mary Tudor, queen of England and Ireland from 1553 until 1558, the first woman to rule England in her own right, was the notorious ‘Bloody Mary’ who placed her realm at the feet of the Spanish king and presided over a pitiless religious terror, burning dissidents at the stake, to enforce and restore Catholicism. Bitterly preoccupied with the past, she tried to reverse the Protestant Reformation started by her father, Henry VIII. Yet her own life was tragic, her marriage childless, her health ultimately fragile, her mind increasingly deranged; while her reign, both in her repression and foreign policy, failed utterly.
 * Simon Sebag Montefiore, Monsters: History's Most Evil Men and Women (2009), p. 153

 * Commonwealth schoolchildren are often taught one of the key events in British history with the help of a mnemonic: "King Henry the Eighth, to six wives he was wedded: One died, one survived, two divorced, two beheaded." Beheaded! In 1536 Henry had his wife Anne Boleyn decapitated on trumped-up charges of adultery and treason because she gave him a son that did not survive, and he had become attracted to one of her ladies-in-waiting. Two wives later he suspected Catherine Howard of adultery and sent her to the ax as well. (Tourists visiting the Tower of London can see the chopping block for themselves.) Henry was clearly the jealous type: he also had an old boyfriend of Catherine’s drawn and quartered, which is to say hanged by the neck, taken down while still alive, disemboweled, castrated, decapitated, and cut into four. The throne passed to Henry’s son Edward, then to Henry’s daughter Mary, and then to another daughter, Elizabeth. “Bloody Mary” did not get her nickname by putting tomato juice in her vodka but by having three hundred religious dissenters burned at the stake. And both sisters kept up the family tradition for how to resolve domestic squabbles: Mary imprisoned Elizabeth and presided over the execution of their cousin, Lady Jane Grey, and Elizabeth executed another cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. Elizabeth also had 123 priests drawn and quartered, and had other enemies tortured with bone-crushing manacles, another attraction on display in the Tower. Today the British royal family is excoriated for shortcomings ranging from rudeness to infidelity. You’d think people would give them credit for not having had a single relative decapitated, nor a single rival drawn and quartered.
 * Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature (2012)

 * The nobility have gone off to the country, entirely disposed to take up arms as they know the people are harbouring evil intentions. When I ask the reasons of all this, I am told that the people say the King [Philip II] will not be served by Englishmen although this point was settled by the articles... They assert that the King is sending for 10,000 Germans and 10,000 Spaniards to land in this country; that it is intended to set up the monastaries again...and the Bishop of Rome is going to command in religious matters. The foreigners, they complain, are making Englishmen feel strangers in their own homes, and have taken to managing everything since they landed... They proclaim loudly that they see they are going to be enslaved, for the Queen is a Spanish woman at heart and thinks nothing of Englishmen, but only of Spaniards and bishops. Her idea, they say, is to have the King crowned by force and deprive the Lady Elizabeth of her right, making the operation of the law subject to her own will.
 * Simon Renard to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (18 September 1554), quoted in Calendar of Letters, Despatches and State Papers Relating to the Negotiations Between England and Spain: Philip and Mary, July, 1554—Nov., 1558 (1954), p. 49

 * The Queen, being born of a Spanish mother, was always inclined towards that nation, scorning to be English and boasting of her descent from Spain.
 * Giacomo Soranzo, Venetian ambassador, report of England made to the Senate (18 August 1554), quoted in Calendar of State Papers and Manuscripts Relating to English Affairs Existing in the Archives and Collections of Venice and in Other Libraries of Northern Italy, Vol. V. 1534—1554 (1873), p. 560

 * I verily believe the poorest creature in al this city feared not God more than she did. She had the love, commendation, and admiration of al the world. In this church she maried herself unto this realm, and in token of faith and fidelity did put a ring with a diamond upon her finger; which I understand she never put off after, during her life, whatsoever succes things had: for that is in the hand of God only. She was never unmindful or uncareful of her promise to her realm. She used singular mercy toward offenders. She used much pity and compassion towards the poor and oppressed. She used clemency among her nobles. She restored more noble houses decayed, than ever did prince of this realm, or I pray God ever shal have the like occasion to do hereafter. She restored to the church such ornaments as in the time of schism were taken away and spoiled. She found the realm poisoned with heresy, and purged it; and remembring herself to be a member of Christ's Church, refused to write herself head thereof.
 * John White, Bishop of Winchester, sermon preached at the funeral of Queen Mary (14 December 1558), quoted in John Strype, Ecclesiastical Memorials, Related Chiefly to Religion, and the Reformation of it, and the Emergencies of the Church of England, under King Hnry VIII. King Edward VI. and Queen Mary I., Vol. III. Part II (1822), p. 546

Edward VI of England

Edward VI (12 October 1537 – 6 July 1553) was King of England and Ireland from 28 January 1547 until his death in 1553. He was crowned on 20 February 1547 at the age of nine. The only surviving son of Henry VIII by his third wife, Jane Seymour, Edward was the first English monarch to be raised as a Protestant. During his reign, the realm was governed by a regency council because Edward never reached maturity. The council was first led by his uncle Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset (1547–1549), and then by John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland (1550–1553).

 * Delete unless evidence provided of originality. Jon Canter and Douglas Adams were both writers of the Cambridge Footlights Revue in 1974, in which Canter acted as well. It seems likely that Adams reused this line, perhaps only spoken by Canter in a role, in Hitchhiker's Guide four years later. However, without evidence that Canter actually wrote it, one must strongly suspect that it originated with Adams. Who is claiming Canter wrote it? I found nothing other than the usual-suspect websites making undocumented assertions, and a reference to an older version of the Wikiquote page. (I couldn't easily find which version, because its anon editors almost never use the edit summary like they're supposed to.) Anyone can claim originality; let's see the proof. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:05, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Serenity

Serenity is the feeling of inner peace, calmness, and tranquillity.
 * For the film, see Serenity (film)

Quotes

 * As you cannot have a sweet and wholesome abode unless you admit the air and sunshine freely into your rooms, so a strong body and a bright, happy, or serene countenance can only result from the free admittance into the mind of thoughts of joy and good will and serenity.
 * James Allen, in As A Man Thinketh (1902), Ch. 3 : Effect of Thought on Health and the Body

 * A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought. As he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.
 * James Allen, in As A Man Thinketh (1902), Ch. 7 : Serenity

 * The strong calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balanced life? It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture; it is the flowering of life, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money-seeking looks in comparison with a serene life — a life that dwells in the ocean of Truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the Eternal Calm!
 * James Allen, in As A Man Thinketh (1902), Ch. 7 : Serenity

 * What produced this divine serenity, subject to no moods, clouded by no depression, this perpetual Sunday of the heart? It was not merely good nature, not the accident of a happy organization. It was deeper than that. It was the perfect poise resulting from a Christian experience. It was the habit of looking to God in love and to man in love.
 * James Freeman Clarke, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 477

 * The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenalin but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.
 * Attributed to Glenn Gould, 1962 in Payzant (Glenn Gould: Music and Mind), p. 64

 * God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
 * Reinhold Niebuhr, The Serenity Prayer (ca. 1942). This statement, or variants of it, have often been attributed to others, including St. Francis of Assisi, but without sources. Though similar prayers may have existed, the work seems to be Niebuhr's. He never copyrighted the prayer, and it has been used in many variants, including the most common variant: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".

 * What moments divine, what rapture serene.
 * Cole Porter, in "Begin the Beguine" in Jubilee (1935)

Talent

Talent is generally considered to be an innate, personal gift possessed by relatively few people. In essence, someone with talent has an aptitude to do certain things.

Quotes

 * Talent must be protected, especially if it's viewed as a threat. And what's more threatening to the status quo than a visionary?
 * Hilton Als on Alice Neel, The New Yorker, 2021

 * Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.
 * Maya Angelou (b. 1928), American author and performer. Black Women Writers at Work, Ch. 1, by Claudia Tate (1983).

 * Talent is always queer-tempered.
 * Mary Elizabeth Braddon, The Cloven Hoof (London: John and Robert Maxwell, 1879), Vol. I, Ch. VI, p. 122.

 * Genius … means the transcendent capacity of taking trouble.
 * Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881). Life of Frederick the Great, Book iv. Chap. iii.

 * To THINK BIG and to use our talent doesn't mean we don't have difficulties on the way. We will - we all do. How we view those problems determines how we end up.
 * Ben Carson, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story. (p.232)

 * Anyone with a normal brain has the capacity to do almost anything, but when one has special gifts or talents (and everyone has) and takes advantage of and develops these talents – that person is likely to excel.
 * Ben Carson, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story. (p. 160)

 * Access to talented and creative people is to modern business what access to coal and iron ore was to steel-making.
 * Richard Florida, as quoted in The Talent Mandate, (2013) by Andrew Benett, p. 3

 * Es bildet ein Talent sich in der Stille, Sich ein Charakter in dem Strom der Welt. Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.
 * Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Torquato Tasso (1790) i, 2.

 * ...but talent is a dreadfully cheap commodity, cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work and study; a constant process of honing. Talent is a dull knife that will cut nothing unless it is wielded with great force...
 * Stephen King, Danse Macabre (1981).

 * Talent is that which is in a man's power; genius is that in whose power a man is.
 * James Russell Lowell, Among My Books (Boston: Fields, Osgood, & Co., 1870), "Rousseau and the Sentimentalists", p. 356.

 * I thought as a kid that talent was God-given, but it’s not. God gives you talent and you should use that talent with the real meaning of that word. I was stubborn. Maybe being young had something to do with it.
 * Darko Miličić, as quoted in "Storyline: Whatever Happened to Darko Milicic" (21 March 2016), HoopsHype

 * Medium talent.
 * Bill Murray on Chevy Chase, in Sam Gillette, "Bill Murray Remembers Punching Chevy Chase in the Face", People (May 30, 2019).

 * Just how rare is mathematical talent? Many observers believe that such talent is indeed rare and that we now come close to discovering all of it. According to them we cannot markedly increase the number of Ph.D.'s in mathematics if we wish to maintain traditional standards — the native ability just isn't there. Others (and might be in this group) believe that many more people could create mathematics if they had the proper instruction. It would be pretty hard to devise a controlled experiment to answer this question.
 * Robert A. Rosenbaum (1915–2017), (quote from p. 67) pdf at maa.org

 * It is a very rare thing for a man of talent to succeed by his talent.
 * Joseph Roux, Meditations of a Parish Priest (1886).

 * Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see. With people with only modest ability, modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent, it is hypocrisy.
 * Arthur Schopenhauer, as quoted in The Little Book of Bathroom Philosophy: Daily Wisdom from the Greatest Thinkers (2004) by Gregory Bergman, p. 137.

 * A man with talent eats, sweats, and cares for his children like any other. And if talent is a natural thing, remember that water is also, and fire, and wind; therefore flood and holocaust and hurricane are as natural as talent, and can consume and destroy you.
 * Theodore Sturgeon, To Marry Medusa (1958), Chapter 4

 * Punitis ingeniis, gliscit auctoritas.
 * When men of talents are punished, authority is strengthened.
 * Tacitus, Annales (AD 117), IV. 35.

 * Every one of us is born with some kind of talent. In early manhood or womanhood each individual begins to see a path, though perhaps dimly, that beckons to him or her. All of us have this leaning toward, or desire for doing ably, a certain kind of work, and only want an opportunity to prove our capacity in that direction. These hunches, these signs of one's natural trend, are usually right, and are not to be thrust aside without regret in later life.
 * Art Young: His Life and Times (1939)

Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations

 * Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 777.

 * Magni est ingenii revocare mentem a sensibus, et cogitationem a consuetudine abducere.
 * It is a proof of great talents to recall the mind from the senses, and to separate thought from habit.''
 * Cicero, Tusculanarum Disputationum, I. 16.

 * Occultæ musices nullus respectus.
 * Concealed talent brings no reputation.
 * Erasmus, Adagia; Suetonius, Nero, 20.

 * Ne forçons point notre talent; Nous ne ferions rien avec grâce: Jamais un lourdaud, quoi qu'il fasse, Ne saurait passer pour galant.
 * Let us not overstrain our talents, lest we do nothing gracefully: a clown, whatever he may do, will never pass for a gentleman.
 * La Fontaine, Fables, IV. 5.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)
Quotes reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895).

 * The way to attain to larger gifts is to employ the gifts you have. Give Jesus the one talent, and then He may trust you with two. If you cannot speak glibly in a prayer-meeting, then stammer out your heart's thanks in the best fashion you can. It may be that your few broken words may accomplish more than another man's fluent harangues.
 * Theodore L. Cuyler, p. 575.

 * Men of splendid talents are generally too quick, too volatile, too adventurous, and too unstable to be much relied on; whereas men of common abilities, in a regular, plodding routine of business, act with more regularity and greater certainty. Men of the best intellectual abilities are apt to strike off suddenly, like the tangent of a circle, and cannot be brought into their orbits by attraction or gravity — they often act with such eccentricity as to be lost in the vortex of their own reveries. Brilliant talents in general are like the ignes fatui; they excite wonder, but often mislead. They are not, however, without their use; like the fire from the flint, once produced, it may be converted, by solid, thinking men, to very salutary and noble purposes.
 * John Trusler, p. 575.

 * The man that wrapped up his talent in the napkin and said, "Lo, there thou hast that is thine," was too sanguine. There was never an unused talent rolled up in a handkerchief yet, but when it was taken out and put into the scales, it was lighter than when it was committed to the keeping of the earth.
 * Alexander Maclaren, p. 576.

 * "Take therefore the talent from him." It is being taken away rapidly, and the shreds of it will very soon be all that is left. Your religious nature will finally become a virtually exterminated organ. The purpose you have at some future time to use your talent avails nothing. It is going from you, and, before you know it, will be utterly, irrevocably gone. My friends, there is not an hour to lose. Only with the greatest difficulty will you be able, now, to gather up yourself and open your closing gates to the entrance of God and His salvation.
 * Horace Bushnell, p. 576.

Secret of Mana

Secret of Mana, originally released in Japan as (|聖剣伝説 "Legend of the Sacred Sword 2"), is a 1993 action role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the SNES.

Dialogue

 * Thanatos: I need life energy to create a new, peaceful world, understand? Soon, the Mana Fortress will bring the people of the world together!

 * Thanatos: For ages I have been searching... for a human with the power to conquer this world... one born in the shadow of darkness, and raised in the light of Mana. Dyluck is the one. I cannot wait any longer. My body has grown weak! It is time! Using his body I will take the Mana Fortress, and rule the world!

 * Mana: The Mana Fortress is using up most of the world's Mana. Soon all the beasts of will be transformed into one giant creature. Only the great Mana Beast can bring back Mana. But the Beast has little control over its rage. If it were to attack the fortress, the world would be finished.

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

Peter Pan

Peter Pan is a novel written by British novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie (1860–1937). Originally titled Peter and Wendy, it is an adaptation of the stage play Peter Pan about the same characters. It is a story of a mischievous little boy who refuses to grow up. Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the island of Neverland as leader of his gang, the Lost Boys.

Quotes from the play Peter Pan

 * The night nursery of the Darling family, which is the scene of our opening Act, is at the top of a rather depressed street in Bloomsbury. We have a right to place it where we will, and the reason Bloomsbury is chosen is that Mr. Roget once lived there.
 * Act I

 * WENDY: (driven to it by something within). What are your exact feelings for me, Peter?

 * PETER: Those of a devoted son, Wendy.

 * WENDY: (turning away). I thought so.

 * PETER: You are so puzzling. Tiger Lily is just the same; there is something or other she wants to be to me, but she says it is not my mother.

 * WENDY: (with spirit). No, indeed it isn’t.

 * PETER: Then what is it?

 * WENDY: It isn’t for a lady to tell.

 * pg 106

 * "Her light is growing faint, and if it goes out, that means she [Tinker Bell] is dead! Her voice is so low I can scarcely tell what she is saying. She says - she says she thinks she could get well again if children believed in fairies!"
 * Act IV

 * "Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe! If you believe, clap your hands!" (Many clap, some don't, a few hiss. But Tink is saved.)
 * Act IV

 * HOOK. (Communing with his ego.) "How still the night is; nothing sounds alive. Now is the hour when children in their homes are a-bed... Compare with them the children on this boat about to walk the plank. Split my infinitives, but 'tis my hour of triumph!"
 * Act V

 * HOOK. (With curling lip.) "So, Pan, this is all your doing! PETER. "Ay, Jas Hook, it is all my doing." HOOK. "Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet thy doom." "Dark and sinister man, have at thee."
 * Act V

 * "I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg."
 * Act V

 * At this sight the great heart of Hook breaks. That not wholly unheroic figure climbs the bulwarks murmuring "Floreat Etona," and prostrates himself into the water, where the Crocodile is waiting for him open-mouthed. Hook knows the purpose of this yawning cavity, but after what he has gone through he enters it like greeting a friend.
 * Act V

 * If he could get the hang of the thing his cry might become "To live would be an awfully big adventure!" but he can never quite get the hang of it, and so no one is as gay as he.
 * Act V

 * With rapturous face he produces his pipes, and the Never birds and the fairies gather closer till the roof of the little house is so thick with his admirers that some of them fall down the chimney. He plays on and on till we wake up.
 * Act V

Quotes from the novel Peter and Wendy

 * All children, except one, grow up.
 * Ch.1: Peter Breaks Through

 * Two is the beginning of the end.
 * Ch.1: Peter Breaks Through

 * Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John’s, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it.
 * Ch.1: Peter Breaks Through

 * Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact; not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. When you play at it by day with the chairs and tablecloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very nearly real. That is why there are night-lights.
 * Ch.1: Peter Breaks Through

 * "Can anything harm us, Mother, after the night-lights are lit?" "Nothing, precious" she said; "they are the eyes a mother leaves behind her to guard her children."
 * Ch.2: The Shadow

 * "What’s your name?" he asked. "Wendy Moira Angela Darling," she replied with some satisfaction. "What is your name?" "Peter Pan." She was already sure that he must be Peter, but it did seem a comparatively short name. "Is that all?" "Yes," he said rather sharply. He felt for the first time that it was a shortish name. ‘I’m so sorry,’ said Wendy Moira Angela. "It doesn’t matter," Peter gulped. She asked where he lived. "Second to the right," said Peter, "and then straight on till morning." "What a funny address!" Peter had a sinking feeling. For the first time he felt that perhaps it was a funny address.
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "How clever I am!" he crowed rapturously, "oh the cleverness of me!"
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "Wendy, one girl is more use than twenty boys."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "I don't want ever to be a man," he said with passion. "I want always to be a little boy and to have fun. So I ran away to Kensington Gardens and lived a long long time among the fairies."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "And so," he went on, "there ought to be one fairy for every and girl." "Ought to be? Isn't there?" "no. You see children know such lot now, they soon don't believe in fairies, and every time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies," there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "She is quite a common fairy," Peter explained apologetically; "she is called Tinker Bell because she mends the pots and kettles."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "But where do you live mostly now?" "With the lost boys." "Who are they?" "They are the children who fall out of their perambulators when the nurse is looking the other way. If they are not claimed in seven days they are ent far away to the Neverland to defray expenses. I'm captain."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "Do you know," Peter asked, "why swallows build in the eaves of houses? It is to listen to the stories."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "I'll teach you how to jump on the wind's back, and then away we go."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "Wake up," she cried, "Peter Pan has come and he is to teach us to fly."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "You just think lovely wonderful thoughts," Peter explained, "and they lift you up in the air."
 * Ch.3: Come Away, Come Away!

 * "Second to the right, and straight on till morning." That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland; but even birds, carrying maps and consulting them at windy corners, could not have sighted it with these instructions. Peter, you see, just said anything that came into his head.
 * Ch.4: The Flight

 * "Do you want an adventure now," he said casually to John, "or would you like to have your tea first?"
 * Ch.4: The Flight

 * Peter was alone on the lagoon. The rock was very small now; soon it would be submerged. Pale rays of light tiptoed across the waters; and by and by there was to be heard a sound at once the most musical and the most melancholy in the world: the mermaids calling to the moon. Peter was not quite like other boys; but he was afraid at last. A tremor ran through him, like a shudder passing over the sea; but on the sea one shudder follows another till there are hundreds of them, and Peter felt just the one. Next moment he was standing erect on the rock again, with that smile on his face and a drum beating within him. It was saying, "To die will be an awfully big adventure."
 * Ch.8: The Mermaids' Lagoon

 * "Bad form," he [Hook] cried jeeringly; and went content to the crocodile. Thus perished James Hook.
 * Ch.15: Hook or Me This Time.

 * As you look at Wendy you may see her hair becoming white, and her figure little again, for this happened long ago. Jane is now a common grown-up, with a daughter called Margaret; and every spring-cleaning time, except when he forgets, Peter comes for Margaret and takes her to the Neverland... When Margaret grows up she will have a daughter, who is to be Peter's mother in turn; and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.
 * Ch.17: When Wendy Grew Up

Tom Baker

Thomas Stewart "Tom" Baker (born 20 January 1934) is an English actor. He is best known for his role as the fourth incarnation of the Doctor in the science fiction television series Doctor Who, which he played from 1974 to 1981.

Who On Earth is Tom Baker? (1997)

 * Baker's autobiography published by HarperCollins.

 * "Would you like to go to New Zealand to do a commercial?" That's the sort of question an actor likes to hear from his agent in freezing mid -January.

 * But it was drama, high drama: fires at night, the fires that burned people's houses away; bombs fell and left exotically shaped fragments in the form of shrapnel. And we collected it and traded it. As long as we were not hurt -- and I wasn't -- life seemed wonderful.
 * Describing The Blitz

 * We even copied the way the Americans walked, though Father Leonard didn't like that bit of admiration. He disapproved of rolling buttocks.

 * These days when I see a child in Waitrose and smile and say, "Hello, are you going to visit your Mum in her sheltered accommodation when you grow up?" it provokes glistening eyes and hollow laughter. And if you pursue it with, "Or are you going to be a drug dealer?" it may result in a snub.

 * The chaos of our lives suited me; I don't think I wanted it to end.

 * The notion that God was everywhere put paid to any possible peace of mind by the time I was six.

 * One tortured soul I know who suffers from amazingly premature ejaculation — I mean so premature that he hasn't got any children after eleven years of marriage — was told by the priest that it was probably a blessing in disguise. What a piece of advice to give to a poor sod who comes off at the sound of his wife's car in the drive.

 * Tom Fleming, the eldest, was said to look like King George V, and indeed, was often mistaken for His Majesty when in the vicinity of Scotland Road, Anfield Road or Lime Street. Why people would suspect that the King might be working in Tate and Lyle's sugar factory is beyond me, but there you are.

 * Of course, for a lot of people, death was a welcome change. Grinding poverty takes the edge off most things, including life.

 * The theatre couldn't match what was going on in a court of law or at football grounds. The theatre has never been able to match what goes on anywhere, that's why so few people go.

 * Who was it that designed brown envelopes? I feel sure that he hated people whoever he was. I wonder where he's buried?

 * It was in the church that I got to love shadows and dark corners, musty cupboards and creaking floorboards. I was a perfect recruit for the Addams family. Cobwebs made me whimper with joy.

 * I didn't care as an ex-ballet dancer wrote and told me she had seen the production and fallen in love with my legs. She said that in other circumstances she could have lived happily with my legs but that she only had a small flat in Holland Park.

 * "Stay calm, sir," I cried. "Don't excite yourself, it could mean death." He took me at my word and instantly fell inert. I didn't know whether he was obeying me or had died.
 * While working as a hospital orderly.

 * Once a man next to me found the handle of a radiator in his mashed potato; he said nothing, merely moving it to the side of his plate after sucking the mashed potato off it first. Nobody else said anything either. If the truth was known several of us were probably jealous.
 * Describing army food.

 * She smiled at me, arsenically.

 * Being poor is a little like having an earache over a Bank Holiday. All you can think about is the pain and how long it will be before a healing hand can be found to take away the anguish.

 * Poverty can curdle the libido and corrode civilized thoughts. One's sense of humour vanishes, to be replaced by a curry-spoiling sarcasm as one's Mr Hyde emerges from the swamp of the subconscious.

 * The poor don't really like that ticket. They are desperate to get away and join the rich, and have glossy hair, bright eyes and white teeth. The rich live longer and can afford to be charming.

 * All my life I have felt myself to be on the edge of things. All my life I have suffered from bad dreams. All my life I have had difficulty in knowing whether I am awake or in a nightmare.

 * All my life I have entirely missed the point; and the turning, as I also have no sense of direction. This long period of uncertainty in the twilight land of the fuddled (it is now more than sixty years) has taken its toll.

 * One of the astounding qualities of that family was their capacity to fill innocent bystanders with thoughts of murder.
 * Describing one set of his in-laws.

 * When the doctor was there, Alfred refused to believe that he'd had a stroke. "I can't have had a stroke," he grated, in a terrible rage, "I've got 93,000 pounds in my current account."

 * I was honestly very nervous of Constance Wheatcroft. And I wasn't the only one. Her entire family was afraid of her. Dogs were afraid of her. Bindweed in the hedge would wither as she passed; birds would forget their nesting instincts and fly back to north Africa at the sound of her hideous cries.

 * Waiting for a 136 bus from Highgate station to Muswell Hill Broadway on a misty evening in February is a bit like lurking outside the gates of purgatory.

 * I've been pretty wary of street sweepers since, though it is true that since we left the European Exchange Rate Mechanism some sweepers are really quite dashing to glance at.

 * But we can't escape into the future like we can escape into the past. So those of us who are not certain of things, and there are an awful lot of us, often rush back to the past. And each one has a particular past he prefers to the present. Sometimes I feel that any past is preferable to the present.

 * About ten days later, it being the time of year when the National collected down and outs to walk on and understudy I arrived at the head office of the National Theatre in Aquinas Street in Waterloo.

 * The only imperfection in life then was that we didn't really have much money.

 * Living in an institution, rumours of change can make life more bearable, and starting rumours can be a wonderful pleasure for those without much hope. The National Theatre was like that.

 * My old skill at self-delusion overrode my doubts as I told myself that Dexter probably believed in me. I could believe anything then. I still can as long as it is improbable.

 * Playing Doctor Who came as a great surprise to me. I had no idea that I would enjoy it so much. All that was required of me was to be able to speak complete gobbledygook with conviction.

 * It was no problem for me to say I came from another world and could go back and forth in time in my emphysemic old Tardis which was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. Problem? For me who believed in Guardian Angels and was convinced that pigs were possessed by devils after their New Testament encounter with God's son? It was easy and I loved it.

 * Jim Acheson, our designer, told me I looked like his Auntie Wyn and I have never forgotten it. I wondered if it was the way I walked or wore my hat, but Jim just said that I had some indefinable air of an aunt. It was then I began to hope that one day I might play Lady Bracknell.

 * Bob Holmes, the script editor, did laugh and filled his pipe so that he could create a smoke screen between us while he turned the idea down.

 * Most of my ideas were rejected and I got used to it. One can get fond of almost anything, even rejection.

 * He told me he was having the time of his life and then fell to the floor unconscious. I didn't take this too personally, although he was not the first person to collapse while talking to me; to tell the truth it has happened quite often.

 * It is part of my duty as a decent member of my local hamlet to mow the grass in front of the church. It's a pleasant little task and mowing is a favorite activity of mine; it gives me a lot of pleasure to make the churchyard look tidy. I sometimes pause at the grave of someone or other and speculate what he might have been like when he was alive, but gravestones don't tell much.

 * Not everybody knows that looking at people in 'a funny way' is the commonest cause of sudden murder. I happen to know that because I read a Home Office brochure once.

 * I am used to being mistaken for Miriam Margolyes; Private Eye noticed that, and once I was even taken for Gertrude Stein. But that was at Chelsea Flower Show where uncertainty of identity is in the air.

 * We are all quite capable of believing in anything as long as it's improbable.

All Quiet on the Western Front (film)

All Quiet on the Western Front is a 1930 American film about the horrors of the First World War and the deep detachment from civilian life felt by many German men returning from the frontline. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1930.
 * Directed by Lewis Milestone. Written by Erich Maria Remarque, Maxwell Anderson, George Abbott, Del Andrews, C. Gardner Sullivan, Walter Anthony and Lewis Milestone, based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque.

Paul Bäumer

 * [While on a mission with his comrades, Paul takes cover in a shell hole to protect himself from gunfire] I say "You must [get out of this hollow], it is your comrades, it is not an idiotic command," and again: "What does it matter to me, I have only one life to lose—"
 * I saw him die. I didn't know what it was like to die before! And then, then I came outside and it felt so good to be alive, that I started in to walk fast. I began to think of the strangest things like bein' out in the fields, things like that. You know — girls. Then it felt as if there were something electric running from the ground up through me. And I started. And I began to run hard and I passed soldiers, and I heard voices calling to me, and I ran and I ran, and I felt as if I couldn't breathe enough air into me. And now I'm hungry.
 * Out of 20, three are officers, nine dead, Müller and three others wounded, and one in the mad house. We'll all be dead someday so let's forget it.
 * [Paul is trapped in a shell crater with the body of a French soldier who was just mortally wounded.] I want to help you. I want to help you... [the soldier screams] Stop that! Stop it! I can bear the rest of it. I can't listen to that! Why do you take so long dying? You're going to die anyway. Oh, no. Oh, no. You won't die. Oh, no. You won't die. They're only little wounds. You'll get home. You'll be all right. You'll get home long before I will.

 * You know I can't run away. That's why you accuse me. I tell you, I didn't want to kill you. I tried to keep you alive. If you jumped in here again, I wouldn't do it. You see, when you jumped in here, you were my enemy — and I was afraid of you. But you're just a man like me, and I killed you. Forgive me, comrade. Say that for me. Say you forgive me! Oh, no. You're dead! Only you're better off than I am. You're through. They can't do any more to you now. Oh, God, why did they do this to us? We only wanted to live, you and I. Why should they send us out to fight each other? If we threw away these rifles and these uniforms, you could be my brother just like Kat and Albert. You'll have to forgive me, comrade. I'll do all I can. I'll write to your parents. I'll write to — I'll write to your wife. I'll write to her. I promise she'll not want for anything. And I'll help her and your parents, too. Only forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me! Forgive me! [sobbing]

Sergeant Stanislaus "Kat" Katczinsky

 * Sometime I'm gonna take one of you volunteers apart — find out what makes you leave school and join the army. Hey, this is no parade ground.
 * [to new recruits] Now you're gonna see some shell fire, and you're gonna be scared... [a shell explodes nearby and they all duck for cover; one terrified recruit soils his pants] Never mind. It's happened to better men than you. And it's happened to me. When we come back, I'll get you all some nice, clean underwear!
 * That cannon shell you don't have to pay much attention to. Those big fellas just make a lot of noise and land about five miles behind the line. The things we've got to watch out for are them black ones. They don't give you much warning... Mother Earth — press yourselves down upon her! Bury yourselves deep into her! Just keep your eyes on me. When you see me flop, you flop, only try to beat me to it.
 * There's 80 of us left. The rest is in dressing stations or pushing up daisies

Tjaden

 * [to Paul on his return] It's gonna be a real war again.
 * There used to be some food in the sawdust. Now it's all sawdust. No joke either.
 * Replacements are all like that. Not even old enough to carry a pack. All they know how to do is die.
 * [of Katczinsky] If he were out, the war would be over. You remember what he always said: 'They're savin' him for the last.'

Professor Kantorek

 * [to class] You are the life of the Fatherland, you boys. You are the iron men of Germany. You are the gay heroes who will repulse the enemy when you are called upon to do so. It is not for me to suggest that any of you should stand up and offer to defend his country. But I wonder if such a thing is going through your heads? I know that in one of the schools, the boys have risen up in the classroom and enlisted in a mass. But, of course, if such a thing should happen here, you would not blame me for a feeling of pride. Perhaps, some will say that you should not be allowed to go yet, that you are too young, that you have homes, mothers, fathers, that you should not be torn away.

 * Are your fathers so forgetful of their Fatherland that they would let it perish rather than you? Are your mothers so weak that they cannot send a son to defend the land which gave them birth?! And after all, is a little experience such a bad thing for a boy? Is the honor of wearing a uniform something from which we should run? And if our young ladies glory in those who wear it, is that anything to be ashamed of? I know you have never desired the adulation of heroes. That has not been part of my teaching. We have sought to make ourselves worthy and let acclaim come when it would. But to be foremost in battle is a virtue not to be despised. I believe it will be a quick war, that there will be few losses. But if losses there must be, then let us remember the Latin phrase which must have come to the lips of many a Roman when he stood embattled in a foreign land: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. 'Sweet and fitting it is to die for the Fatherland.'

 * Some of you may have ambitions. I know of one young man who has great promise as a writer, and he has written the first act of a tragedy which would be a credit to one of the masters. And he is dreaming, I suppose, of following in the footsteps of Goethe and Schiller, and I hope he will.

 * But now our country calls! The Fatherland needs leaders!! Personal ambition must be thrown aside in the one great sacrifice for our country! Here is a glorious beginning to your lives! The fields of honor call you.

 * [about Paul] Here is one of the first to go, a lad who sat before me on these very benches who gave up all to serve in the first year of the war. One of the iron youth who have made Germany invincible in the field. Look at him, sturdy and bronze and clear-eyed, the kind of soldier every one of you should envy.

Others

 * Title card: This story is neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war...
 * Himmelstoss: You're not much to begin with, but I'll do my best. The first thing to do is to forget everything you ever knew, everything you ever learned - Forget! See. Forget what you've been, and what you think you're going to be. You're going to be soldiers, and that's all. I'll take the mother's milk out of you, I'll make you hard-boiled. I'll make soldiers out of you, or kill you!
 * Franz Kemmerich: They've cut my leg off. Why didn't they tell me?...I can't walk any more.
 * Soldier: They never taught us anything really useful, like how to light a cigarette in the wind, or make a fire out of wet wood, or bayonet a man in the belly.
 * Albert Kropp: [after discovering that his leg was amputated] I won't be a cripple. I won't live, I tell you...I'll kill myself the first chance I get! I won't live! I won't live!
 * Mrs. Bäumer: Oh, Paul. You're a soldier now, aren't you? Somehow, I don't seem to know you... Are you really here Paul? You won't disappear, will you?
 * Mr. Bäumer: But we know how to honor the soldier who goes on in spite of love and death. [a truck full of coffins pulls up] Hey, look, new coffins. [a truck full of recruits pulls up] And they even sent us the stuff to fill 'em with!

Dialogue

 * Paul: You see, we haven't eaten since breakfast, we thought maybe you could tell us what we ought to do about it.
 * Tjaden: Eat without further delay. It's a bad town to bring an appetite to, soldier. We've been here since yesterday morning and we've been living on a bale of hay and razor blades.

 * Soldier: Dead. He
 * Katczinsky: Why did you risk your life bringing him in?
 * Soldier: But it's Behm, my friend.
 * Katczinsky: It's a corpse, no matter whose it is. Now, don't any of ya ever do that again.

 * Tjaden: Well, how do they start a war?
 * Soldier #1: Well, one country offends another.
 * Tjaden: How could one country offend another? You mean there's a mountain over in Germany gets mad at a field over in France?
 * Soldier #1: Well, stupid. One people offends another.
 * Tjaden: Oh, that's it. I shouldn't be here at all. I don't feel offended.
 * Katczinsky: It don't apply to tramps like you.
 * Tjaden: Good. Then I can be going home right away...The Kaiser and me...Me and the Kaiser felt just alike about this war. We didn't neither of us want any war, so I'm going home. He's there already.
 * Soldier #1: Somebody must have wanted it. Maybe it was the English. No, I don't want to shoot any Englishman. I never saw one 'til I came up here. And I suppose most of them never saw a German 'til they came up here. No, I'm sure they weren't asked about it.
 * Soldier #2: Well, it must be doing somebody some good.
 * Tjaden: Not me and the Kaiser.
 * Soldier #1: I think maybe the Kaiser wanted a war.
 * Tjaden: You leave us out of this.
 * Katczinsky: I don't see that. The Kaiser's got everything he needs.
 * Soldier #1: Well, he never had a war before. Every full-grown Emperor needs one war to make him famous. Why, that's history.
 * Paul: Yeah, Generals too. They need war.
 * Soldier #3: And manufacturers. They get rich.
 * Soldier #1: Nobody wants it in particular. And then all at once, here it is. We didn't want it. The English didn't want it. And here we are fighting.
 * Katczinsky: I'll tell ya how it should all be done. Whenever there's a big war comin' on, you should rope off a big field.
 * Soldier #1: And sell tickets.
 * Katczinsky: Yeah, and, and, on the big day, you should take all the kings and their cabinets and their generals, put them in the center dressed in their underpants and let 'em fight it out with clubs. The best country wins.

 * Katczinsky: You couldn't do anything about it. We all have to kill. We can't help it. That's what we are here for... Now don't you lose any more sleep over this business.
 * Paul: Maybe it was because I was out there with him so long, huh?...After all, war is war.

 * Old Man: And how are things out there? Terrible, eh? Terrible. But we must carry on. After all, you at least get decent food out there. Naturally it's worse here. Naturally but the best for our soldiers all the time. That's our motto: 'The best for our soldiers.' But you must give the Frenchies a good licking. [looks at map of the Front] There's the line. It runs so. Shove ahead out there, and don't stick to that everlasting trench warfare.
 * Paul: When you get in it, war isn't the way it looks back here.
 * Old Man: Oh! You don't know anything about it. Of course, you're needed. But this relates to the whole, and you can't judge that. Of course, you do your duty and you risk your life. But for that, you receive the highest honor.

 * Professor: You must speak to them. You must tell them what it means to serve your Fatherland.
 * Paul: No, no, I can't tell them anything.
 * Professor: You must Paul, just a word. Just tell them how much they're needed out there. Tell them why you went and what it meant to you.
 * Paul: I can't say anything.
 * Professor: Can't you remember some deed of heroism, some touch of nobility to tell about?
 * Paul: I can't tell you anything you don't know. We live in the trenches out there. We fight. We try not to be killed. Sometimes we are. That's all.
 * Professor: No, no Paul.
 * Paul: I've been there. I know what it's like.
 * Professor: But that's not what one dwells on, Paul.
 * Paul: I heard you in here reciting that same old stuff, making more iron men, more young heroes. You still think it's beautiful and sweet to die for your country, don't you? We used to think you knew. The first bombardment taught us better. It's dirty and painful to die for your country. When it comes to dying for your country, it's better not to die at all. There are millions out there dying for their country, and what good is it?
 * [Some of the boys boo Paul]
 * Paul: You asked me to tell them how much they're needed out there. He tells you, 'Go out and die,' you know. But if you'll pardon me, it's easier to say 'go out and die' than it is to do it.
 * Boy #1: Coward.
 * Paul: And it's easier to say it than to watch it happen.
 * Entire class: You're a coward.
 * Professor: No! No! Boys! Boys! [To Paul] I'm sorry about that, but I must say...
 * Paul: It's no use talking like this. You won't know what I mean. Only, it's been a long while since we enlisted out of this classroom. So long, I thought maybe the whole world had learned by this time. Only now, they're sending babies, and they won't last a week! I shouldn't have come on leave. Up at the front, you're alive or you're dead, and that's all. You can't fool anybody about that very long. Up there, we know we're lost and done for, whether we're dead or alive. Three years we've had of it -- four years. And every day a year, and every night a century. And our bodies are earth. And our thoughts are clay. And we sleep and eat with death. And we're done for, because you can't live that way and keep anything inside you. I shouldn't have come on leave. I'll go back tomorrow. I've got four days more, but I can't stand it here! I'll go back tomorrow. Sorry.
 * Paul: It's no use talking like this. You won't know what I mean. Only, it's been a long while since we enlisted out of this classroom. So long, I thought maybe the whole world had learned by this time. Only now, they're sending babies, and they won't last a week! I shouldn't have come on leave.

 * Mrs. Bäumer: There's something I want to say to you, Paul. It's just be on your guard against the women out there. They're no good.
 * Paul: Where we are, there aren't any women, Mother.
 * Mrs. Bäumer: Be very careful at the front, Paul...I'll pray for you every day and if you could get a job that's not quite so dangerous.

 * Paul: Oh, I'm no good for back there any more, Kat. None of us are. We've been in this too long. The young men thought I was a coward because I told them that we learned that death is stronger than duty to one's country. The old men said: 'Go on! Push on to Paris!' My father even wanted me to wear my uniform around him. It's not home back there anymore. All I could think of was: 'I'd like to get back and see Kat again.' You're all I've got left, Kat.
 * Katczinsky: I'm not much to have left. I missed you Paul.
 * Paul: At least we know what it's all about out here. There are no lies here.
 * Katczinsky: 'Push on to Paris'? You ought to see what they've got on the other side. They eat white bread over there. They've got dozens of airplanes to our one. And tanks that'll go over anything. And what have we got? Guns so worn they've dropped shells on our own men. No food, no ammunition, no officers. 'Push on to Paris'? So that's the way they talk back there.
