Quotes

 * Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.
 * As quoted in The Appraiser's Handbook : A Guide for Doctors (2007) by Nick Lyons, Susanne Caesar, Abayomi McEwen, p. 11.

1980s

 * The odds against becoming the next Frederick Forsythe are, of course, somewhere between merely exponential and astronomical-incredible. I’ll settle for a book-jacket with my name on it.
 * Personal correspondence, 5 February 1983. Published in "Becoming Tom Clancy: Letters from Tom -- Part 1," Pied Type (Oct 2, 2013)

 * I’ve made up stuff that’s turned out to be real, that’s the spooky part.
 * The New York Times (27 July 1986)

 * I like writing. It's the most fun I've ever had at anything. You can build your own little world and — like a kid with his toy trains, — except instead of trains I have tanks and ships and airplanes and things... I get to make them do all the things I want them to do, and if I don't like the way things work out, I start again.
 * Interview with Don Swaim (1986)

 * I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.
 * Interview with Don Swaim (1986)

 * Victory comes only to those prepared to make it, and take it.
 * Patriot Games (1987)

 * "If a hero must have an unmarked grave, it should at least be close to where his comrades fell."  "Comrades?"  "One way or another we all fight for the things we believe in. Doesn't that give us some common ground?"
 * Jack Ryan and MG Dalmatov, SA; The Cardinal of the Kremlin (1988), p. 796

1990s

 * There's two kinds of people in the world, the ones who need to be told and the ones who figure it out all by themselves.
 * Without Remorse (1993), p. 231

 * Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed.

 * Things rarely happen for a single reason. Even the cleverest and most skilled manipulators recognize that their real art lies in making use of that which they cannot predict.
 * Debt of Honor (1994), ch. 5

 * Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Your life may change, but your dream doesn't have to. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Your spouse and children need not get in its way, because the dream is within you. No one can take your dream away.
 * As quoted in Writers (1995) Published by A. Deutsch

 * Never ask what sort of computer a guy drives. If he's a Mac user, he'll tell you. If not, why embarrass him?
 * As quoted in Escape The Pace: 100 Fun And Easy Ways To Slow Down And Enjoy Your Life (2002) by Lisa Rickwood; this quote appears at least as early as 1996 online

 * Back then "cruel and unusual punishment" meant the rack and burning at the stake — both of those things that had been used in pre-Revolutionary America — but in more recent rulings it has been taken to mean the absence of cable television and denial of sex-change operations, or just overcrowding in the prisons.
 * Executive Orders (1996), p. 613

 * The difference between reality and fiction? Fiction has to make sense.
 * Attributed to an interview on Larry King Live; also quoted in Quotable Quotes (1997) edited by Deborah Deford Attributed variant: The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.
 * Clancy here expresses an idea evoked in similar statements made by others, all derived from the orignial made by Lord Byron: Lord Byron: Truth is always strange; stranger than fiction. Mark Twain: Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities, truth isn't. G. K. Chesterton: Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it. Leo Rosten: Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense. (attributed)

 * The difference between me and you is that I do good fiction.
 * Jokingly to news reporters. Speech at the National Press Club (18 May 1999).

Schafer interview (1995)

 * "Vonnegut and Clancy on Technology", by David H. Freedman and Sarah Schafer.

 * In case you haven't noticed, we live in a world that is for the first time in all of recorded human history unlikely to have a major war. There used to be this country called the Soviet Union; it's not there anymore. The reason is our technology was better than theirs. Probably what pushed the Russians over the edge was SDI. It was really a combination of SDI and CNN. They realized they couldn't beat us so they decided to change the ball game.

 * Democracy is spreading across the world. Democracy is only possible with easy access to information and good communications. And technology is a way of facilitating communications.

 * Look, this is simple. The good old days are now. OK? The human condition today is better than it's ever been, and technology is one of the reasons for that.

 * What underclass? I mean you know, what underclass? Do you know any of them? Do they have automobiles? Most of them probably do. Do most of them have television sets? Do most of them have telephones? Well, if they can afford automobiles, they can afford computers. And since they have television sets, they already have access to communications technology. And since they have telephones, they can talk to one another. Wherein are they deprived?

 * Look, technology is another word for tool. There was a time when nails were high-tech. There was a time when people had to be told how to use a telephone. We got past that. Technology is just a tool. People use tools to improve their lives.

 * Our tools keep getting better, and as a result of that, our lives keep getting better.

 * People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, they have more knowledge, they have more information. All this is the result of communications technology and the tools with which man has equipped himself. How is any of that bad?

 * I was one of the first generations to watch television. That's technology. TV is like any other kind of tool. TV exposes people to news, to information, to knowledge, to entertainment. How is it bad? Computers are going to be even bigger. TVs are one-way. You sit there and you watch it. Computers, you interact with.

 * No matter what you or anyone else does, there will be someone who says that there's something bad about it. Whenever somebody comes up with a good idea, there's somebody else who has never had a good idea in his life who stands up and says, "Oh, you can't do that..."

 * I'd rather talk to people who do things than complain about other people who do things. I say they're idiots.

 * Fighting wars is not so much about killing people as it is about finding things out. The more you know, the more likely you are to win a battle. Take the AEGIS system in the navy. It's a radar computer system for air-battle management. What it does is give the commander an extra 15 minutes to decide what he's going to do to fight a battle, and those 15 minutes are decisively important.

 * A field commander never has the information he needs. He has to go with his best hunch. The more information he has, the easier it is for him to win the battle.

 * The more information a guy has, the more likely he is to say, "Hey, King Charlie, you really blew that call." That's why democracy happened. The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.

 * Countries that do not control knowledge and information tend to do better because the average guy who is exposed to a lot of information can get ideas and profit from them.

 * America is the most inventive country in the world. Why? Because everybody has access to information. In the Soviet Union it was illegal to take a photograph of a train station. Look what happened to them. They tried to classify everything. The more information available to the average person, the greater the synergy that develops from it.

 * There are people in government who don't want other people to know what they know. It's just another example of elitism. And I spit on elitism. Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser.

CNN interview (1999)

 * Interview promoting Every Man a Tiger (1999), co-written with General Charles Horner. (12 May 1999)

 * My vision for this book and the others in the series is to let people know what kind of commanders we have. You don't pick generals off park benches. … They are experts at what they do and lot of thinking goes into it. And I want to get across to people the intellectual dimension of command, to let people know that it's hard to be a general. And the people we have with general stars on their shoulders are pretty smart and pretty good guys.

 * The thing you have to understand about fighter pilots is they never quite grow past the stage of little boys buzzing past girls on their bicycles.

 * That's the ultimate pornography... There's nothing more pornographic than glorifying war.

 * I think it's going to be remembered as the last major war on planet Earth, if we're lucky, if we maintain our foreign policy properly. … It will be remembered as the last time major countries had to put people in the field and put them in harm's way. It may be the last of all human nature wars, which is a nice way to remember any kind of a war, as the last one.
 * On the 1991 Gulf War

2000s

 * [...] The image superimposed on Ricci's field of view by his visor display showed a pair of guards in hooded parkas, goggles, and wool scarves taking relaxed strides along their patrol of the building's north side. Their shoulder-slung FN P90 assault weapons fired the same ammunition as his FN Five-seveN pistol: small rounds, big punch. [...]
 * With Jerome Preisler and Martin H. Greenberg; Bio-Strike (2000), p. 405

 * The hard part is discriminating between factual reporting and journalistic fiction. Last year at the National Press Club I said out loud and in public [C-SPAN was there] that the difference between me and a lot of reporters is that I do good fiction. Some were polite enough to chuckle.
 * "Clancy Speaks Again, Briefly" (12 February 2000)

 * People, I am actually fairly smart. Why has this not occurred to anyone? The information is all out there, if you go looking for it, and the classified stuff just comes from analyzing the unclassified stuff and connecting the dots...
 * "Clancy Speaks Again, Briefly" (12 February 2000)

 * The drafters of the Constitution had made one simple but far-reaching error. They'd assumed that the people selected by The People to manage the nation would be as honest and honorable as they'd been. One could almost hear the "Oops!" emanating from all those old graves. The people who'd drafted the Constitution had sat in a room dominated by George Washington himself, and whatever honor they'd lacked he'd probably provided from his own abundant supply, just by sitting there and looking at them. The current Congress had no such mentor/living god to take George's place, and more was the pity, Ryan thought.
 * The Bear and the Dragon (2000), Ch. 12 : Conflicts of the Pocket

 * Ending your own life is not something the average person does. Everybody's assuming these are Islamic terrorists. Well, if so they've defiled their own religion. Islam does not permit suicide. It says you go to hell if you do something like this... We saw people in Northern Ireland, Catholics acting like savages and Protestants acting like savages... We have people who call themselves Muslims acting like savages. It's not because of their religion, it's because they're fools.
 * Interview with Judy Woodruff (11 September 2001), CNN

 * Wars are begun by frightened men. They fear war, but more than that, they fear what will happen if they don't start one — or take equivalent action, I suppose.
 * Red Rabbit (2002)

CNN interview (2000)

 * Interview (22 August 2000) promoting The Bear and the Dragon (2000).

 * My wife will tell you I'm practically addicted to the History Channel … and I read a lot of history.

 * There's been historical conflict between China and Russia for well over 1,000 years. … People forget that the Mongols came all the way to the Baltic Sea and all the way to where St. Petersburg is today … And the Russians have a good sense of history and they remember that.

 * China has a lot of people and not enough space and the Russians have not too many people and a lot of space.

 * Certainly, we live in a different world … for the first time in all of known human history, we live in a world absent of the likelihood of superpower conflict. Now we live in a world in which there are superpowers, but we're not butting heads all the time. That's a very good thing for the world... but... there's still a few bad guys out there.

Larry King Live (2000)

 * Larry King Live Weekend (27 August 2000)

 * I'm a spy... I worked for the CIA 15 years. The cover was I worked for the insurance business.
 * Said Jokingly.

 * America is a country with a First Amendment, and you're allowed to publish just about anything you want, as long as it's not real secret information. Of course, nobody really does that except for, you know, you guys in the media.

 * There are things I know I know about I don't write about, which I could not responsibly put into my books. Interestingly enough, though, the scariest one of those things is not classified at all. But nevertheless, I don't write about it, because it would make the world a somewhat more dangerous place.

 * The People's Republic of China is still a Marxist, Leninist, Maoist nation. So, you know, communism is still involved there. They haven't figured their way out of that particularly ideological box yet and that's their misfortune.

 * "Rainbow Six" was sort of a spinoff of one my books, which did pretty well. … Interestingly enough, I never play the games. I just sort of — it's more fun for me to help formulate them than it is to play them.

 * Historically, anything that gets information to people is good for the world. The most important human being who ever lived, if you want to leave out religious figures, would be Johannes Gutenberg... that's when the liberation of human thought happened, because people could read the thoughts of people across the world, and have thoughts of their own, and publish them and spread information around. Anything that gets information to people is good. America has prospered because we're the most information-friendly society in the world.

 * The average guy is smart enough to know the difference between what works and what doesn't, and if you have bad information, sooner or later, you figure it out and you get onto something else.

 * The average guy is fairly smart, if you give him the ability to make decisions for himself. That's the whole premise of America, and that's why America has prospered, and it prospers because if the average guy can get information, he can make his own decisions.

 * The Soviet Union is dead and gone and replaced by the Russian Federation, which is a country we can be friends with now, thank God — and we want the Russians to prosper, and should help the Russians prosper in every way we can within reason.

 * Fifteen years ago, there was this country called the Soviet Union that had over 10,000 nuclear warheads pointed at us... they're not there anymore. That's a good thing. And when people talk about how the world is more dangerous now than it was because we had these terrorists running around, my reply is, you know, a terrorist is like a buzzing mosquito. About 15 years ago, there was a great, big vampire bat; that's several orders of magnitude different from a mosquito. So the world is much safer — a lot safer than it was. It's not perfectly safe, but it's a heck of a lot safer than it was.

In Depth with Tom Clancy (2002)

 * "In Depth with Tom Clancy", C-SPAN (3 February 2002)

 * If you want to tell me I'm a bum, that's okay.

 * The military has always been a very introspective organization... One of the reasons why the army is so progressive is its always examining itself. The army is always looking for better ways to do its job.

 * The army led America in integration... The army recognized early on that, you know, black people are pretty much the same as white people; they just tend to be a little bit darker. They make just as good soldiers.

 * These are our kids... They're good kids... Joining the army or the Marine Corps does not make you into a crypto-alcoholic Nazi, it makes you into a child of America who is doing a job for his country... Those are our kids... They're our kids.

 * There's nothing that's ever happened in the world that didn't start in one human mind.

Kudlow & Cramer interview (2003)

 * Kudlow & Cramer interview (2 September 2003)

 * What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else.

 * I've been telling people for 12 years that if you want to get a nuclear device into the United States, just bring it through the port of Miami disguised as cocaine.

GameSpy interview

 * Interview with Sacha A. Howells

 * I wanted a different way in which to tell my stories. Coming up with concepts for computer games gives me another avenue of creative expression. It's not just me telling the story, it's me designing the idea for a story and letting the players write their own ending.

 * When the first mission of Rainbow Six was actually coming together we really started to realize that we might have a hit on our hands, but hadn't really expected the runaway success.

 * To truly feel like we're fighting terrorism, we need as much intelligence and infiltration as possible into known rivals of democracy. Once that information is collected, a sincere commitment must be made to thwart their effects through unified/joint military resolve.

 * I don't discuss works in progress...
 * Attributed variant: I don't discuss future works or works in progress.

2010s

 * Ansara was sprinting up the tunnel, increasing the gap, but Moore was beginning to slow as he heard the thundering boots of men coming down the staircase behind them. He stopped, spun around, and dropped onto his belly as, lit by the flickering light from the tunnel entrance, a figure rushed forward, arm extended. For just a heartbeat Moore glimpsed his assailant's face: the cartel truck's driver. Propped up on his elbows now, Moore fired once into the figure's chest, the round booting him sideways into the panels before he fell onto his back. From behind him came two more men, the rest of the weapons-transfer crew, their Belgian-made cop-killer pistols flashing, the shots booming through the tunnel as one 5.7x28-millimeter round struck the pipe near Moore's elbow.
 * With Peter Telep, Against All Enemies (2011), chapter 34

Quotes about Clancy

 * Clancy's got a very simple view of the world. Good versus evil. Evil seems to get the upper hand. Good triumphs with vastly superior automatic weapons!
 * Bill Bailey, as quoted in "Spooks, Kooks, Spies and Lies" by Les Marcott in Scene4 Magazine (May 2007)

 * Tom Clancy Treated Like He's Some Kind Of Terrorism Expert
 * Headline of a satirical article at The Onion (24 October 2001)

 * If all you want is plot, go and read a Tom Clancy novels.
 * Warren Ellis, in Bad Signal

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is a 2003 animated feature film in which the sailor of legend is framed by the goddess Eris for the theft of the Book of Peace and must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus.
 * Directed by Patrick Gilmore and Tim Johnson. Written by John Logan.

Sinbad

 * Look, this is the way it works. First, I actually commit a crime, then you get to blame me for it!

 * How can one woman do so much damage? [ship cracks] Uh...

 * [While going to rescue Marina from the giant snow bird] Oh, she couldn't see that bird? Everyone else saw it. Big as a freakin' ship. Marina? Marina's looking the other way.

 * Let's get rich!

 * Pray to the gods. We may be meeting them soon.

 * See, in the hands of an expert, a good knife has 1,001 uses.

 * [to Marina] Yes, we've done this sort of thing before, no, there is no other way, and yes, you have my permission to stand there quietly while I give you a free lesson in sailing.

 * [while it is cold and Kale is bare-chested] Woah! Get a shirt on before you poke someone's eye out!

 * [About a sailor on Proteus' ship who was spat up by the sea monster and kept fighting] Give that guy a raise!

 * [in an argument with Marina] A ship is no place for a woman.

Marina

 * [to Sinbad] You... you egotistical, disrespectful, pretentious, pompous, self-centered, cantankerous, untrustworthy, ungrateful, impossible, insufferable....
 * Are you crazy! I saved your life!
 * [to Eris] You're wrong about him! You don't know what's in his heart!
 * [to Sinbad, heartbroken] I can't watch you die! [whispers] I love you.

Eris

 * [About Sinbad] He's so cute. And so gullible.

 * Enough talking! Time for some screaming.

 * [Has just impersonated Sinbad attacking the guard in charge of the Book of Peace] I love playing pretend.

Rat

 * [At the edge of the world] We are going to die!

 * [to Marina] Indeed, signorina. Only the most foolish of captains would dare sail through this.

Dialogue

 * Proteus: It's my responsibility to bring the Book of Peace safely to Syracuse.
 * Sinbad: Why, now I just feel bad, 'cause you're gonna get fired.

 * Sinbad: And you are?
 * Eris: Eris, the goddess of discord. You may have seen my likeness on the temple walls.
 * Sinbad: You know, they don't do you justice.

 * Kale: What happened down here?
 * Sinbad: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
 * Kale: Try me.
 * Sinbad: Okay, here goes. So I meet Eris, the goddess of chaos? She's got a major crush on me, and she invited me back to her place.
 * [Kale laughs at Sinbad.]

 * Proteus: Do you realize how serious this is?
 * Sinbad: Do you realize how many times I've heard that today?

 * Kale: Fiji?
 * Sinbad: Think of the beaches!
 * Kale: Oh, beautiful - if you like mosquitoes.
 * Sinbad: Think of the sun!
 * Kale: It's monsoon season!
 * Sinbad: Oh, and the women!
 * Kale: They're cannibals, Sinbad.
 * Sinbad: Exactly!

 * Marina: Knife, please.
 * Sinbad: Okay, right, like I'd give you a weapon.

 * [Everyone is seasick from being towed in the wake of a giant fish.]
 * Sinbad: Whose idea was that again?
 * Marina: I don't know, but he owes me lunch.

 * Marina: So, how do we get down?
 * Sinbad: I don't know. [She stares at him.] I don't know yet.
 * Marina: You scaled a thousand-foot tower of ice, and you don't know how to get down?
 * Sinbad: Of all the ungrateful-! Look, if you'd rather take your chances on your own, that can be arranged!

 * Sinbad: This has to be a little embarrassing for you, Eris.
 * Eris: Don't push your luck. You're cute. But not that cute.

 * Marina: You're rescuing me.
 * Sinbad: Yes, if that's what you want to call it. But this is going to cost you another diamond. Rescues are not part of the usual tourist package.

 * [after hooking onto the fish and everyone is seasick]
 * Sailors: No Spike... Don't...
 * [Spike vomits]
 * Sailor: Hey, where'd he get the carrots?

 * Sinbad: Who's bad? Sin-bad!
 * Marina: Agh, men!

 * Rat: It just ends, Captain! It's the edge of the world!
 * Gin: [To Li] Pay up, it's flat. [Li hands him some gold]

Rolf Gindorf

Dr. Rolf Gindorf (14 May 1939 – 26 March 2016) was a German sexologist.

Quotes

 * The dilemma of traditional sex research lay in the unconscious, but unquestioningly assumed division into opposing drives and hereditary factors... The division into heterosexuality and homosexuality, into heterosexuals and homosexuals, is also an artifact that rests on a grave error, namely, on the assumption that a fundamentally different model is necessary to explain heterosexual and homosexual behavior. The entire investigation of etiology was ideologically loaded beforehand because it separated a segment of the sexual continuum and attempted to make analyses with the help of fundamentally different concepts.
 * "Scientific ideologies in change: Fear of Homosexuality as an Intellectual Event," from The repressed sexes: Historical texts and commentaries on homosexuality, ed. J.S. Hohmann (Lollar: Achenbach, 1977), pp. 129-44

John Gagnon

John Gagnon (November 22, 1931 – February 11, 2016) was a sociologist and sexologist. He was Emeritus Professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Gagnon and William H. Simon developed the conecpt of sexual scripts. Their work is largely based on symbolic interactionism.

Quotes

 * "Appropriate patterns of reproductive, gender, and sexual conduct are all products of specific cultures and all can be viewed as examples of socially scripted conduct. Western societies now have a system of gender and sexual learning in which gender differential scripts are learned prior to sexual scripts, but take their origins in part from the previously learned gender scripts... There are two important points: The first is that both gender and sexuality are learned forms of social practice, and the second is that looking to "natural differences" between women and men for lessons about sexual conduct is an error."

The Addams Family (film)

The Addams Family is a 1991 film, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, that features the bizarre characters of American cartoonist Charles Addams's comic strip and television show of the same name. A satirical inversion of the ideal of the perfect American nuclear family, the Addamses are a bizarre family who delight in everything grotesque and macabre, and are never really aware of why people find them frightening, or simply don't care.

Morticia

 * [looking through Fester's suitcase] Crowbar... dynamite... cyanide. Fester- as if we'd run out.
 * And our credo, "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc"..."We gladly feast on those who would subdue us". Not just pretty words.
 * Wednesday, play with your food!
 * Thing, you're a handful.
 * Don't torture yourself, Gomez- that's my job.
 * Gomez, last night, you were unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me. [pause] Do it again!
 * [looking through an armoire] Uncle Nick-Nack's winter wardrobe... Uncle Nick-Nack's summer wardrobe... Uncle Nick-Nack...
 * They say she danced naked in the town square and enslaved a minister! But don't worry, we told Wednesday, "College first."
 * [watching Pugsley sleep] He looks so sweet... just like a little entrée.

Gomez

 * [to Tully] Dirty pool, old man. I like it!
 * [Watching Morticia sleep] Look at her. I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss.
 * "How do you take it off?" That's absurd! That finger trap was a party favor at his 10th birthday! He wore that finger trap for two years! Mother had to teach him to eat with his feet!
 * Spirits above me, give me a sign! Shall I be joyous, or shall I be damned?
 * Taught to us by our Cossack cousins, the Mamushka has been an Addams family tradition since God knows when. We danced the Mamushka while Nero fiddled. We danced the Mamushka at Waterloo. We danced the Mamushka for Jack the Ripper. And now, Fester Addams, this Mamushka is for you.
 * That's the spirit, Thing! Lend a hand!
 * They say that a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client. And, with God as my witness, I am that fool!
 * 2, 10, 11- eyes, fingers, toes!
 * [Listening to Thing's Morse Code] Morticia in danger stop. Send help at once stop.

Wednesday

 * [when asked about her Halloween costume] This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac- they look just like everyone else.
 * [Pugsley is tied up, an apple in his mouth. He mumbles something to her] Don't be a baby. I know what I'm doing. [Raises and aims her crossbow]
 * [upon seeing that Fester is actually Gordon] I knew it! You are a fake!

Other

 * Grandma: Dinner's gonna be late. [goes outside chasing a cat] Here, boy! Here, boy!
 * Fester: Three parts dynamite, with a nitroglycerin cap. It's perfect for small homes, carports and toolsheds.

Dialogue

 * Wednesday: [hooking up an electric chair] Pugsley, sit in the chair.
 * Pugsley: Why?
 * Wednesday: So we can play a game.
 * Pugsley: What game?
 * Wednesday: [strapping him in] It's called, "Is There a God?"

 [Wednesday finishes strapping Pugsley into the electric chair and goes over to the controls]
 * Wednesday: It has to warm up.
 * Pugsley: Why?
 * Wednesday: So it can kill you.
 * Pugsley: I knew that.

 * Morticia: Children, what are you doing?
 * Wednesday: I'm going to electrocute him.
 * Morticia: But we're late for the charity auction.
 * Wednesday: But, Mother!
 * Morticia: [firmly] I said no.
 * Pugsley: Pleeaaaase?
 * Morticia: [smiling indulgently] Oh, all right.

 * Girl Scout: Is this made from real lemons?
 * Wednesday: Yes.
 * Girl Scout: I only like all-natural foods and beverages, organically grown, with no preservatives. Are you sure they're real lemons?
 * Pugsley: Yes.
 * Girl Scout: I'll tell you what- I'll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious Girl Scout cookies. Do we have a deal?
 * Wednesday: Are they made from real Girl Scouts?

 * Wednesday: Pass the salt.
 * Morticia: And what do we say?
 * Wednesday: [sternly] Now.

 * Gomez: How long has it been since we waltzed?
 * Morticia: Oh, Gomez...hours.

 * Dr. Pinder-Schloss: The human spirit, it is a very difficult thing to kill.
 * Grandma: Even with a chainsaw!

 * Dr. Pinder-Schloss: Love/hate, hate/love. Like for mama, no?
 * Gomez: But I didn't hate my mother- it was an accident!

 * [Morticia and Grandma examine a valuable heirloom Morticia is donating to charity]
 * Grandma: Let's keep it!
 * Morticia: Hush, mama! It's for charity! Widows and orphans. We need more of them.

Chariots of Fire

Chariots of Fire is a 1981 film about two British track athletes, one a determined Jew, and the other a devout Christian, who compete in the 1924 Olympics. The film was the winner of four Academy Awards including best picture.
 * Directed by Hugh Hudson. Written by Colin Welland.

Two men chasing dreams of glory!taglines

Eric Liddell

 * You came to see a race today. To see someone win. It happened to be me. But I want you to do more than just watch a race. I want you to take part in it. I want to compare faith to running in a race. It's hard. It requires concentration of will, energy of soul. You experience elation when the winner breaks the tape - especially if you've got a bet on it. But how long does that last? You go home. Maybe your dinner's burnt. Maybe you haven't got a job. So who am I to say, "Believe, have faith," in the face of life's realities? I would like to give you something more permanent, but I can only point the way. I have no formula for winning the race. Everyone runs in her own way, or his own way. And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within. Jesus said, "Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. If with all your hearts, you truly seek me, you shall ever surely find me." If you commit yourself to the love of Christ, then that is how you run a straight race.

 * I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure.

 * [to a competitor] Good luck. Don't suppose I'll see you 'til after the race...

Harold M. Abrahams

 * I am a Cambridge man, first and last. I am an Englishman, first and last. What I have achieved – what I intend to achieve – is for my family, my university, and my country.

 * You, Aubrey are my most complete man. You're brave, compassionate, kind: a content man. That is your secret, contentment; I am 24 and I've never known it. I'm forever in pursuit and I don't even know what I am chasing.

 * And now in one hour's time, I will be out there again. I will raise my eyes and look down that corridor; 4 feet wide, with 10 lonely seconds to justify my existence. But will I?

 * That was the miscalculation of my life.

 * He is a strong man but is unsure about his religion.

 * Aubrey, I've known the fear of losing but now I am almost too frightened to win.

Lord Andrew Lindsay

 * [about the Prince of Wales] Protocol, Monty, protocol. He is here to show us what may be done, and, more essentially, what may not be.

Dialogue

 * Sybil Gordon: Why running?
 * Harold M. Abrahams: Why singing?
 * Sybil Gordon: My job. [pause] No. No, that's silly. I do it because I love it.
 * [Harold nods]
 * Sybil Gordon: You love running?
 * Harold M. Abrahams: I'm more of an addict.

 * Harold M. Abrahams: If I can't win, I won't run!
 * Sybil Gordon: If you won't run, you can't win.

 * Harold M. Abrahams: [About Eric Liddel] I've never seen such drive, such devotion in a runner. He runs like a wild animal. He unnerves me.
 * Sam Mussabini: As well he should. He frightens the living daylights out of me. [chuckles]
 * Harold M. Abrahams: Yes, well, I want you to help me take him on.
 * Sam Mussabini: [thinks a moment] Tell me, Mr. Abrahams, are you married?
 * Harold M. Abrahams: No. Why?
 * Sam Mussabini: Well, when the right woman comes along, how would you feel if she pops the question? [quiet laugh] Ya'see, Mr. Abrahams, like the bridegroom, it's the coach should do the asking.
 * Harold M. Abrahams: [very serious] Mr. Mussabini...I can run fast. With your help I believe I can run even faster. I want that Olympic medal. Now I can see it there. It's waiting for me. But I can't get it on my own.

 * Sam Mussabini: Eric Liddell? He's no real problem...
 * Harold M. Abrahams: You could have fooled me.
 * [Eric has already beaten Harold once]
 * Sam Mussabini: Yeah, he's fast! But he won't go any faster; not in the dash, anyway. He's a gut runner, all heart, digs deep! But a short sprint is run on nerves. It's tailor-made for neurotics.
 * Harold M Abrahams: [deadpan] Thanks very much.

 * Sam Mussabini: Do you want to know why you lost today?
 * [Harold nods]
 * Sam Mussabini: You're over striding. Just a couple of inches.
 * [Sets coins in a row]
 * Sam Mussabini: Now these coins represent the steps in your sprint.
 * [Pushes coin together]
 * Sam Mussabini: Have you got another two coins, Mr. Abrahams? Well, maybe we can find 'em.
 * [Harold looks up]
 * Sam Mussabini: Remember, over striding – death for the sprinter.
 * [shakes his head]
 * Sam Mussabini: Slap in the face, each step you take. Knocks you back.
 * [Slaps Harold across the cheek. Harold winces]
 * Sam Mussabini: Like that!
 * [Slaps Harold again]
 * Sam Mussabini: And that!
 * [Sam laughs and grabs Harold by the arm]

 * Sam Mussabini: [to Harold in training] I want you to pretend you're running on hot bricks: if you leave your feet too long on the ground, they'll get burned! Pop, pop, pop! Light, light, light as a feather!

 * [The athletes are playing cricket in the ballroom of their hotel. Henry Stallard is the umpire; Aubrey Montague bowls a delivery to Eric Liddell, batting]
 * Henry Stallard: No ball!
 * Harold M. Abrahams: [desperate to get into bat] Come on, Aubrey, the old leg-break!
 * [Aubrey bowls another delivery, which deceivingly appears to have gotten Eric out]
 * Harold M. Abrahams: How zat!
 * Henry Stallard: Not out!
 * Harold M. Abrahams: What do you mean, not out? You could have heard it from bloody Bournemouth! Come on, Liddell, my innings.
 * Eric Liddell: I didn't touch it, I swear; it must've been the crack of my wrist!
 * Harold M. Abrahams: He's out I tell you, you're all deaf - deaf and bloody blind! Aubrey I ask you, for God's sake!
 * [No response from Aubrey, dramatic pause]
 * Harold M. Abrahams: [punching the air] It's not FAIR!
 * [The athletes break into laughter, Abrahams eventually joining them]

 * Lord Birkenhead: Ah, Liddell! I was afraid you weren't here.
 * Eric Liddell: I'm afraid I am, sir.

Taglines

 * This is the story of two men who run... not to run... but to prove something to the world. They will sacrifice anything to achieve their goals... Except their honour.

 * Two men chasing dreams of glory!

 * With Wings on their Heels and Hope in their Hearts.

Quotes and talk page contents
Hi, FinalGamer. I see that you weren't sure about personal quotes and added them to your talk page. First of all, it's fine to have personal quotes at Wikiquote, as long as they are in your User space. One thing I'd recommend is moving them to your actual user page, because talk pages are supposed to provide a forum for you to discuss Wikiquote stuff with other users (like I'm doing here with you). Talk pages aren't typically used for relatively static content. Some people (like myself) put quotes on their main user page; some create subpages (especially those who have a lot to say and like to organize such things). Basically, it's up to you, but we do recommend using talk pages solely for interuser discussions. (You may also find that frequent communication will eventually make you want to archive your talk pages.)

I'm glad you enjoy the Mystery Science Theater 3000 article. Being my favorite TV show ever, I've poured a lot of effort into making it useful, pithy, and accurate, and I'm glad that you and many others have joined me in this effort. (Some probably find my attention to it obsessive. ;-) I hope you are finding the rest of Wikiquote intruiging and entertaining as well. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:51, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Getting MST3K stuff

 * ''May I ask if you know of any free ways to get MST3K stuff? I found a few free clips but no proper downloads barring torrents that always fail me or are too slow for my limited daily net time.  And please, no DAPcentral, I got pissed off with their stupid instructions to get their stuff.

Any info is greatly appreciated on Mystery_Science_Theater_3000, thank you.User:FinalGamer (talk) 12:37, 5 August 2005 (GMT)''

I'm not big on obtaining creative works for free unless their creators specifically allow or encourage it. Best Brains Inc., the people behind MST3K, had a policy of encouraging tape swapping among fans in the early years of the show (noted by the admonition at the end of each shows credits: "Keep circulating the tapes"). BBI discontinued its encouragement quite a while ago (perhaps as MST3K climbed into Hollywood radar). I believe tape swapping is still discussed at Old Timer Billy Slater's Tape Tradin' Post, but I've not looked in on that for years. You might give that a try. (I looked at DAPcentral myself a while back, and couldn't figure out how to use it, so I gave up.) Of course, the stuff that's been released on Rhino DVDs is verboten for swapping, so the pool of "free" material continually shrinks. (Personally, I'm glad; I figure the more I spend on DVD episodes, the more funding and notice BBI will get for any future enterprises, including the unspoken possibility of revisting the SOL sometime down the road.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:42, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

MST3K quotes
I hate to discourage anyone's enthusiasm for my favorite TV show, but I'm a little concerned about the number of quotes you've been adding to individual episodes and shorts in Mystery Science Theater 3000. Quote encyclopedias like Wikiquote are allowed to cite copyrighted works on the rather nebulous basis of "fair use", which tends to vary in effect in different parts of the world. But one general principle is that one shouldn't excerpt a substantial amount of material. Since we typically have dozens of people editing any popular article, one of the informal principles we try to encourage is for each editor not to add more than 3-4 quotes themselves, to try to keep the total quoted material under the fair-use radar. There's no enforcement of this, of course, but we've so far managed to avoid trimming quotes, which is rather hard to do with any objectivity anyway. Might I ask that you try to limit yourself to a few of your most favorite quotes from each episode or short? Thanks for your help. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Peter Cain

Peter J. Cain is a British historian, and Emeritus Professor of History at, known for his work on the economic writings of.

J. A. Hobson's Imperialism: A Study: A Centennial Retrospective (2002)
Lecture introduced by, Yale University, and Delivered on September 17, 2002 at Yale University. Available online (PDF)

 * By 1910-14, Hobson had drifted far from the arguments of Imperialism: A Study and was now writing of imperialism as a phase in the extension of a benign, global capitalist network and one that would eventually lead to an economic convergence between the developed and underdeveloped worlds, to world peace and eventually to some form of world government.
 * p. 3.

 * In 1938 and at the age of eighty, Hobson decided to republish Imperialism: A Study. By the late 1930s, public opinion was becoming much more critical of empire and imperialism: one prominent imperial historian of the time, W. K. Hancock, wrote that 'to...an increasing proportion of the ordinary public the "imperialist" is a robber and a bully'. Under growing Marxist influence there was also an increasing tendency to offer economic interpretations of imperial expansion and control. Encouraged by these trends and convinced that the looming conflict between Britain and France on the one side, and Germany, Italy and Japan on the other, was basically an attempt to re-divide the imperial spoils, Hobson decided that his ancient text was worth reprinting. But in republishing it, and despite adding a long preface, Hobson gave no indication that he had ever held different views.
 * p. 3.

 * However, in that autobiography Hobson did confess that he now thought that the emphasis on economic causation in Imperialism: A Study was overdone and that more emphasis should have been placed on the 'lust for power' with economic gains seen as a means of exercising power rather an end in themselves.
 * p. 3-4.

 * He was also extraordinarily sensitive to the ways that imperialists could cloak essentially materialist concerns in the language of morality, mission and destiny. Yet in the process and on more than one occasion he provided evidence to show that the financiers too were prisoners of imperial ideology, that they were as much wedded to causes like 'the civilising mission', as much mislead by hightened imperial rhetoric, as anyone else.
 * p. 8

 * He came back to England convinced that Rhodes and his fellow mining capitalists had engineered the war in order to removed the leaders of the Boer republics who stood in the way of the rationalisation of the black labour supply in the gold mines."
 * p. 9

 * Yet it must be remembered that the essential theoretical core of the book - the relationship between oversaving, foreign investment and imperialism - appeared in an article written in 1898, before his South African trip.
 * p. 9.

 * The Chinese economy would be brutally transformed into the mightiest manufacturing nation based on western capital and on an abundance of cheap, highly submissive labour.
 * p. 10.

 * In tropical Africa, on the other hand, Hobson talked of 'lower races' who could only progress under western leadership
 * p. 11.

Wangari Maathai

Wangari Muta Maathai (1 April 1940 – 25 September 2011) was a Kenyan environmental and social activist who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize of 2004.

Quotes

 * "We must resist the notion that there is only one way to be a woman, one way to be African, and one way to be human."

 * "I think what the Nobel committee is doing is going beyond war and looking at what humanity can do to prevent war. Sustainable management of our natural resources will promote peace."
 * Interview in TIME (10 October 2004)

Interview in TIME (10 October 2004)
 * (WHAT'S THE PLANET'S BIGGEST CHALLENGE?) The environment. We are sharing our resources in a very inequitable way. We have parts of the world that are very deprived and parts of the world that are very rich. And that is partly the reason why we have conflict.

 * "As I conclude I reflect on my childhood experience when I would visit a stream next to our home to fetch water for my mother. I would drink water straight from the stream. Playing among the arrowroot leaves I tried in vain to pick up the strands of frogs’ eggs, believing they were beads. But every time I put my little fingers under them they would break. Later, I saw thousands of tadpoles: black, energetic and wriggling through the clear water against the background of the brown earth. This is the world I inherited from my parents. Today, over 50 years later, the stream has dried up, women walk long distances for water, which is not always clean, and children will never know what they have lost. The challenge is to restore the home of the tadpoles and give back to our children a world of beauty and wonder."
 * Nobel lecture (10 December 2004)

 * "Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree, you water it and make it survive, you haven't done a thing. You are just talking."
 * Speech at Goldman Awards, San Francisco (24 April 2006)

 * "In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground- a time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now."
 * Quoted in Woman power to the fore, by R.S. Binuraj, The Hindu (1 July 2017)

 * Human rights are not things that are put on the table for people to enjoy. These are things you fight for and then you protect.
 * Wangari Maathai quotes from Goodreads
 * The generation that destroys the environment is not the generation that pays the price. That is the problem.
 * I’m very conscious of the fact that you can’t do it alone. It’s teamwork. When you do it alone you run the risk that when you are no longer there nobody else will do it.
 * Wangari Maathai quotes from Goodreads
 * Education, if it means anything, should not take people away from the land, but instill in them even more respect for it, because educated people are in a position to understand what is being lost. The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. As I told the foresters, and the women, you don't need a diploma to plant a tree.
 * Wangari Maathai quotes from Goodreads

 * “There are opportunities even in the most difficult moments.”

 * “In trying to explain this linkage, I was inspired by a traditional African tool that has three legs and a basin to sit on. To me the three legs represent three critical pillars of just and stable societies. The first leg stands for democratic space, where rights are respected, whether they are human rights, women's rights, children's rights, or environmental rights. The second represents sustainable and equitable management and resources. And the third stands for cultures of peace that are deliberately cultivated within communities and nations. The basin, or seat, represents society and its prospects for development. Unless all three legs are in place, supporting the seat, no society can thrive. Neither can its citizens develop their skills and creativity. When one leg is missing, the seat is unstable; when two legs are missing, it is impossible to keep any state alive; and when no legs are available, the state is as good as a failed state. No development can take place in such a state either. Instead, conflict ensues.”

 * “What people see as fearlessness is really persistence.”

 * “Hallowed landscapes lost their sacredness and were exploited as the local people became insensitive to the destruction, accepting it as a sign of progress.”

 * “You would see me there now, cultivating the earth and carrying firewood on my back up the hills to my home, where I would light a fire and cook the evening meal. I would not tell stories, because they have been replaced by books, the radio, and television”

 * “You don't need a diploma to plant a tree.”

 * No matter how dark the cloud, there is always a thin, silver lining, and that is what we must look for. The silver lining will come, if not to us then to next generation or the generation after that. And maybe with that generation the lining will no longer be thin.
 * Wangari Maathai quotes from Goodreads

The Challenge for Africa (2009)

 * nobody knows the solution to every problem; rather than blindly following the prescriptions of others, Africans need to think and act for themselves, and learn from their mistakes.

 * We all share one planet and are one humanity; there is no escaping this reality.

Unbowed (2006)

 * Trees are living symbols of peace and hope. A tree has roots in the soil yet reaches to the sky. It tells us that in order to aspire we need to be grounded and that no matter how high we go it is from our roots that we draw sustenance. It is a reminder to all of us who have had success that we cannot forget where we came from. It signifies that no matter how powerful we become in government or how many awards we receive, our power and strength and our ability to reach our goals depend on the people, those whose work remain unseen, who are the soil out of which we grow, the shoulders on which we stand.

Wangari Maathai:"You Strike The Woman..." by Priscilla Sears (1991)
published in the quarterly In Context #28 (Spring 1991)

 * "I don't really know why I care so much. I just have something inside me that tells me that there is a problem, and I have got to do something about it. I think that is what I would call the God in me. All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet. It must be this voice that is telling me to do something, and I am sure it's the same voice that is speaking to everybody on this planet — at least everybody who seems to be concerned about the fate of the world, the fate of this planet."

 * "I kept stumbling and falling and stumbling and falling as I searched for the good. 'Why?' I asked myself. Now I believe that I was on the right path all along, particularly with the Green Belt Movement, but then others told me that I shouldn't have a career, that I shouldn't raise my voice, that women are supposed to have a master. That I needed to be someone else. Finally I was able to see that if I had a contribution I wanted to make, I must do it, despite what others said. That I was OK the way I was. That it was all right to be strong."
 * As quoted in the article Wangari Maathai:"You Strike The Woman ..."  by Priscilla Sears in the quarterly In Context #28 (Spring 1991)

 * "The people are starving. They need food; they need medicine; they need education. They do not need a skyscraper to house the ruling party and a 24-hour TV station."
 * On her opposition to the construction of a skyscraper in Nairobi, Kenya, as quoted in the article Wangari Maathai:"You Strike The Woman ..." by Priscilla Sears in the quarterly In Context #28 (Spring 1991)

Quotes about Maathai

 * Peace on earth depends on our ability to secure our living environment. Maathai stands at the front of the fight to promote ecologically viable social, economic and cultural development in Kenya and in Africa. She has taken a holistic approach to sustainable development that embraces democracy, human rights and women's rights in particular. She thinks globally and acts locally.
 * The Norwegian Nobel Committee official announcement (8 October 2004)
