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

User talk:Sir James Paul~enwikiquote

Welcome

Wikiquote:Esperanza
''Why don't you join Esperanza? I'll make you its first vice president.--Sir James Paul 17:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)''

''Remember if you join wikiquote:Esperanza you can be the vice president and help me set up the project. The goal of Esperanza is to make wikiquote a more friendly place to work. I hope you will join.--Sir James Paul 19:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)''

 * I'm afraid I've nominated for deletion your effort to establish an Esperanza project here. There are so many reasons why this is inappropriate (some of which I describe in the VfD nomination), but the basic problem is that you are too inexperienced a wiki editor to be creating a project like this. In fact, you don't even currently qualify for membership in Wikipedia:Esperanza. Your lack of awareness of how it operates, and how Wikiquote operates, make this project untenable. It is incredibly important before one assumes meta-project responsibilities like this that one first gets considerable experience working on the basic project. Otherwise, one cannot expect to be taken seriously when advising others. Sorry to be the bearer of such bad tidings. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

''Check the members list on both Esperanzas because I am a member of both. Plus I'm going to bring in members of both esperanzas to help me out. I also stepped down as president. Take it off the deletion list please. --Sir James Paul 20:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)''

''Why don't you join this project and help make it great? You and me will make a great team. Come on, just join.--Sir James Paul 21:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)''

 * I had checked the list. The fact that people who don't meet the requirements can still add their names to the membership list reinforces my suspicion that Esperanza has some flaws that are being exploited by people who are much less interested in building an encyclopedia than they are in chatting with each other. (There's nothing wrong with the latter, if done in a MySpace context, but there is if it's using Wikimedia resources just to network.)

 * I believe you have only good intentions, but that's not enough. Creating and maintaining a project like Esperanza takes experienced editors willing to learn the rules of the projects they're working within and willing to devote the time to work within its policies to accomplish the stated goals. I know every single editor within Wikiquote who has the capability to do this — ir's a very small community by WP standards — and I believe there is no one willing to assume the helm of this particular project. The VfD discussion will show whether or not I am right, and if I'm wrong, we'll have the beginnings of a proper Esperanza. So there's no downside to the nomination.

 * By the way, another tip to a new editor: it's a good idea to compose your entire talk-page post before posting it, instead of making many small changes over time. If the person you're posting to is online, they will get an annoying message on every wiki page that they have a post, and will be encouraged to read it before they continue their work. If they try to respond while you are still tacking on additional notes, you will only step on each others' toes. As far as joining this project, I don't join projects unless I can commit to the responsibilities they incur. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:53, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

There is no qualifacations for simple english wikipedia.--Sir James Paul 21:56, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I am referring to your membership on en:Wikipedia, the flagship project, where Esperanza can and should be expected to be more diligent and functional than for any other project. This is also where, unsurprisingly, its actual operation is being called into question. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

''Trust me, I can make Esperanza work on wikiquote. I will encorage Esperanza members to work hard.--Sir James Paul 22:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)''

 * Hard work isn't enough. One must know what one is doing, and why. This is not so important in a MySpace context, because encouragement during hard times is something everyone might be expected to know how to do, calling on the life experiences we all share as we mature. But it would be foolish to presume one could encourage university professors through the challenges of acquiring tenure without understanding academia, and it would be pointless to try to counsel suicidal people without professional training or personal experience. If you can't see how this is analogous to trying to assistance Wikimedia editors with wiki cultural problems without understanding how wikis work, you are only strengthening my argument against this noble but misguided effort.

 * I don't doubt your earnestness, only your ability to help out before walking the walk. If other Esperanza members like yourself, with no better understanding of what they're trying to do, start joining Wikiquote solely to provide this ill-considered assistance, you will only be complicating the already great challenges that the few people who have walked the walk are struggling with. You're already doing so with me, as I spend all my available editing time right now trying to get you to understand the problem, rather than address critical policy issues, perfomance massive amounts of basic maintenance, and give new users informed assistance on how to work with Wikiquote. You are currently achieving exactly the opposite of your stated intentions with your insistence, giving us an unfortunate but excellent example of why this won't work. Trust me, because I know what I'm talking about and have the years of documented wiki experience to prove it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

''I will start to work hard at editing once I've got my idea off the ground. I am determined for this to do well. I have this project well figured out.--Sir James Paul 02:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)''

 * Sorry, but this isn't acceptable. One doesn't decide to become a train conductor and take charge of a locomotive just because one wishes to be the boss. One must first learn the ropes and demonstrate competence at the desired task. Please either demonstrate such competence or desist in your attempts. Your persistence in this effort is beginning to look like the enthusiasm of a child who decides he wants to be President of the United States without understanding what it is that a President does, or just how much work it is even to stand for the position. I'm sorry if this analogy upsets you, but I'm having trouble understanding why you are so insistent on doing something you clearly have no ability to do yet, and lack of maturity is the only reasonable explanation I can come up with at this point. Most adults are aware of the basic need to prove oneself before one assumes responsibilities, and you show none of this awareness, only an unwavering need to be in charge. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

''Will you take off the requst for deletion sign and give me till Christmas to work out the kinks. I beg of you, PLEASE.--Sir James Paul 02:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)''

''I know that I have the ability to do this. What you do not understand is that I have been asking people at wikipia Esperanza what the weaknesses are and I am going to make sure that does not happen here. --Sir James Paul 02:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)''

 * Remember what I said about composing your message first and then posting it? This not only would avoid the edit conflicts you are generating in this discussion, but is the same kind of mature thoughtfulness necessary to tackle the project you have assumed for yourself. You continue to fail to demonstrate that thinking, making your case worse with every post.

 * Have you read even one of the policies I urged you to read? Deletion policy, which anyone participating in a Votes for deletion discussion is supposed to read, makes clear that, once nominated in good faith, a discussion should run its proper length unless and until a sysop decides that a speedy deletion is justified. You haven't even tried to justify your position with evidence, only pleading and promises not backed up by your documented lack of experience.

 * If you don't believe I am treating you reasonably in this situation, you are welcome to ask any other sysop, or perhaps run this by an experienced Wikipedia editor you know. I'm afraid you'll get the same arguments from them. Esperanzans, who are part of the general problem, are not a reasonable source for advice in this matter. Even so, I suspect if you talk to Esperanzans with considerable Wikipedia editing experience, they will also advise you not to pursue this. The primary weakness in your idea is your own lack of experience, which you cannot fix in a few weeks.  ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Block warning
You deleted my post at Village pump and replaced it with your own text. This is considered vandalism on Wikimedia projects. Your lack of awareness of basic wiki etiquette has now taken you into disruptive editing. I am still trying to assume good faith, but your ignorance of basic policy, combined with your determination to make an uninformed point, is likely to get you blocked. I strongly advise you to read the links I provided when I posted the welcome message above. We provide these links to help new editors learn about how the community works, and someone whose stated goal is to help this community absolutely must understand these basic principles. If you have questions, please ask myself or someone else with experience. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. In case you aren't aware, the blue links you see in information and advice, like the ones I've been providing above, are there to encourage readers to read them to better understand what is being discussed. Please take this encouragement before you try to dole out your own encouragement. If for no other reason, surely you must understand that doling out advice and encouragement while ignoring the same given to you does not make for a good Esperanzan. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

How to help Wikiquote
If you're looking for something to do to help Wikiquote, there are lots of things that need doing. For instance, keep an eye on Special:Newpages, and then compare each article with the template for its type. If it doesn't follow the template, fix it so it does. If the new article looks like it is a non-notable subject, put it up for deletion. Better still, just prowl around articles looking for quotes which don't have a source listed, find the source and add it. This sort of work is really needed and will quickly earn you a lot of respect on Wikiquote. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 16:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I fear you have misunderstood me. My point is, given that you have signed up to a charter which states "I will make at least 21 articles a week, I will improve articles", it would be very nice to see this happening. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 17:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza
You wrote: ''I would like to tell you that wikiquote:Esperanza is not like the Esperanza on wikipedia. The goal of the Esperanza on wikipedia is to make the sense of community better while the Esperanza on wikiquote's mission is to make wikiquote a more friendly place, to fight vandalism and keep it from becoming a problem here, and to make the number of articles here grow and improve the quality of them. Another thing I would like to tell you is that all I am is the interm president, I am not making this so I can have power but to make wikiquote better all around. Have a nice week.--Sir James Paul 17:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)''

 * That may be all well and good, but I still do not see the point of having something like this. Rather than spending a lot of time talking, voting, and creating charter and goals, why not actually perform some edits, cleanup, or vandalism reversion? I don't see the need to create an artificial group just to do what any good editor would do anyway. It's nothing personal against you, I just don't see the value. ~ UDScott 17:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

deleted comment
why did you delete my comment? Unbelievable 04:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

One more try
Sir James Paul, I am posting this as my last attempt to win you over as a real contributor to Wikiquote. The goal of this project is to collect quotations from notable sources. In the end, all work done here must serve that purpose, and anything that interferes with it is discouraged, and can even result in blocks or bans if it is repeated without a project-related rationale.

You have frequently repeated statements about how Esperanza is necessary for a good working environment on Wikiquote. You have neither the knowledge of Wikiquote nor any evidence that this is true. This is simply your assumption, and it is a manifestly incorrect one. en:Wikiquote has many problems, but none of them can be resolved by trying to start a support group that no one here is interested in joining. If you could somehow do this all by yourself, you would not be taken seriously by anyone, because you have repeatedly demonstrated that you do not understand what it is that editors do here, or what problems they face. This relentless refusal to educate yourself before you try to push an adjunct project on an unwilling community worries me, because it suggests that you will not learn from people who are actively trying to help you. (I don't mean the editors coming from other Wikimedia projects, who I'm sorry to see have occasionally been rather unpolite in their own advice and criticisms. I'm talking about regular editors of Wikiquote like LrdChaos, Fys, UDScott, and myself, who are trying to give you the benefit of the doubt and to explain how things work here.)

One editor has claimed that you are [statement deleted per user request - JQ]. Wikimedia projects have many editors of this general age who are valuable contributors. But we do have an expectation that youthful editors will abide by the same policies and practices that adult editors must. It is not surprising that many young people are not ready for this challenge. But it's a very good idea — for anyone of any age, not just minors — to start small and gain experience with general work on a Wikimedia project before trying to do something as ambitious as participate in (let alone run!) a sub-project like Esperanza, regardless of how you wish to define it. The concept of apprenticeship is a very powerful and useful one in the Wikimedia projects, as most successful editors learn by doing. If you are unable or unwilling to learn by doing first, you can be sure that no one who has done this work will ever take you seriously here, any more than you would think much of the opinions of an art student about how a computer is built. The only way to gain credibility in a project like Wikiquote or Wikipedia is to prove to other editors that you know what you're doing, and the single best way to do this is to work on articles. Your work will show up, for everyone to see, in your edit history. This is the basis of any Wikimedian's reputation. Let your work, not your words, speak for you.

I hope you will find this information useful, and that you will decide to work with us here, on the Wikipedias, and elsewhere. Whether you do or not, I wish you the best. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:46, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Age
''I do not want my age to get out anywhere on the internet. Other than my talk page did you say what my age is, if you did please delete it. By the way the age that you said on the talk page is my age. Another thing I would like to ask you is if you can let me make a new account since my age got out. Is that ok with you?--Sir James Paul 20:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)''

 * You can create a new account for yourself at any time. Simply log out of your current one, click on the "Sign in / create account" in the upper right corner, and register a new account name. Your email address can be the same as the old one, or different, or you can leave it blank. (It's only used if you would like someone to be able to use the "E-mail this user" link.) Just make sure you aren't still logged in when you create the new account, or it will show up in the new-user log that "Sir James Paul" created the new account.

 * Incidentally, you should be careful about giving out information about yourself. Please note that I had said that "one editor has claimed that you are" a certain age. I said it this way because we have no way of knowing this for sure, even if you agree that you are. Many people on the Internet these days claim to be something other than they are, and some of them have the ability to pass as older, younger, a different sex, etc. Even though I didn't think this was much of a revelation, as your writing style and other aspects of your posts strongly imply your age, I still preferred to write as if this information was not confirmed and was suspect. It's unfortunate that you chose to say this information was accurate. If you create a new account, I recommend that you avoid saying anything about your age to anyone you correspond with, even to agree with someone else's deductions. Wikimedia editors are not only not required to divulge their ages, they are encouraged not to do so, for privacy reasons. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikiquote Simple English
''This is a odd request, but can you become more active on wikiquote simple english. The project is in serious need of more articles. If the reason why you do not want to become a active editor is because it is up for deletion, well, that is not a great reason because I am going to try to get it undeleted if it gets deleted. Have a nice week.--Sir James Paul 00:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)''

 * Your request for assistance in building up Simple-English Wikiquote isn't odd at all. However, I don't feel I have the bandwidth necessary to do any work on SE Wikiquote just now. (I'm not even doing en:WQ justice at the moment.) Furthermore, as I've said in the discussion about closing SE WQ, I don't believe we can make a proper Wikimedia project out of SE WQ because its intent appears to be to explain quotes, and Wikimedia editors are not supposed to interpret things — they are required to write only what they have reliable sources for. (This would require that each quote include a source for the interpretation, not just a SE WQ user claiming a particular interpretation. Based on my long experience at en:WQ and en:WP, I don't think this has a snowball's chance of happening.)

 * The only potential I see for SE WQ is to cast it as a standard Wikiquote with simpler prose for the non-quote material (e.g., policy pages, article intros, maybe even a simple sourcing format). In that situation, there may be some way to automate the routine updating of quotes from en:WQ to SE WQ, leaving the simple-English prose untouched. But this would take considerable work, so I'm not interested in pursuing this unless and until the Wikimedia community decides the fate of SE WQ.

 * As far as getting SE WQ undeleted if it is voted down, I once again urge you to learn about Wikimedia before you charge into these situations. The only rationale for deletion reviews is if the deletion was done outside policy. Even if this happens, it is very likely that any case you attempt to bring will not be taken seriously because you have demonstrated virtually no understanding of the Wikimedia world. (Sorry to be so blunt, but my earlier communications seem not to have been blunt enough to register.) You would serve your cause much better to get a more seasoned WM editor, who supports your cause, to lead the effort. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

The sources given are all fan webpages, and two of them appear to be non-functional (one from account suspension — perhaps due to copyvio?). This subject has already failed one VfD (see Votes for deletion archive/Ferengi Rules of Aqusition), but since it's been 17 months since the last attempt, and the subject is noteworthy, I backed off of speedy-deleting it forthwith. However, I've blanked the quote content as a copyvio. If we get a select subset of quotes, each with a reliable source (e.g., the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode and character dialog and/or a reliable publication), we might craft a proper article.

Nintendo

Nintendo is a multinational corporation founded on September 23, 1889 in Kyoto, Japan by Fusajiro Yamauchi to produce handmade hanafuda cards. In the mid-twentieth century, the company tried several small niche businesses, such as a love hotel and a taxi company. Over the years, it became a video game company, growing into one of the most powerful in the industry.

Due to inherent difficulties in translating Japanese to English, the company's quotations have been grossly misconstrued.

Quotes

 * Nintendo is described much as Apple is today: obsessed with quality even at the expense of development speed, overbearing toward retailers and software developers, and highly litigious. Sega, like the free Android smartphone software Google pits against the iPhone, succeeded by offering friendlier terms to Nintendo's partners.
 * Tim Bradshaw, "'Console Wars' revisits the '90s clash between Sega and Nintendo" LA Times, (Aug, 24, 2014).

 * "ATTENTION NINTENDO CONSOLE OWNERS" say the ads running these past two weeks in newspapers and magazines. It seems Nintendo of America was sued by the attorneys general of all 50 states and the District of Columbia for allegedly fixing the price at which retailers could sell its game machines, or "consoles." To make amends for any overcharges, Nintendo is now offering "significant relief" to all who bought between June, 1988, and December, 1990. To government, significant relief is $5, though it's not much to people who paid $99.95 for a console set, and hundreds more for games ($20 to $60 each). They must spend more yet to get it: The relief isn't money, but a coupon for $5 off the purchase of more Nintendo games.
 * S. J. Diamond, "Nintendo Wins at Settlement Game", LA Times, (July 26, 1991.)

 * In February, 1989, Atari filed a $250-million suit against its huge rival, alleging that it has violated antitrust laws by preventing designers of software for its game consoles from selling their wares for other systems. Nintendo has said the suit is "meritless."
 * Martha Groves, "On Nintendo : Games: Atari may be crazy to confront the Japanese giant. But it plans to slug it out anyway.”, LA Times, (April 30, 1990).

 * A game that keeps a smile on the player's face is a wonderful thing. Nintendo's theme for 2006 will be 'Create new fun.' Spread the fun of games to everyone. To do this, we must return to the beginning, to recapture the essence that made people who enjoy games even now enjoy them in the first place.
 * Shigeru Miyamoto, Famitsu

 * Our competitors are always saying that Nintendo is just for children. To counter that, what we really need to do is explain to customers and potential customers [that we do not just make games for kids]."
 * Satoru Iwata in Kent, Steven L.. "Nintendo's New Direction" p. 2. GameSpy. Retrieved on 2007-03-03.

 * Iwata: In the first place, Sony and Microsoft are taking about the same approach for the future by making machines with powerful and sophisticated technology. Nintendo is taking a little bit different approach, and I think this is an interesting contrast. Of course, we are applying advances in technology. But when you use those advances just to boost the processing power, the trade-off is that you increase power consumption, make the machine more expensive and make developing games more expensive. When I look at the balance of that trade-off -- what you gain and what you lose -- I don't think it's good. Nintendo is applying the benefits of advanced technology, but we're using it to make our machines more power-efficient, quieter and faster to start. And we're making a brand-new user interface. I think that way of thinking is the biggest difference.
 * Q: Bill Gates said recently that he thinks Nintendo will be more of a niche player in the future, with Sony and Microsoft battling for the number one spot. What do you think of that characterization?
 * Iwata: Talking about the definition of the niche, or niche market, I really have the completely opposite opinion. The people the other companies are targeting are very limited to those who are high-tech oriented, and core game players. They cannot expand beyond that population. We are trying to capture the widest possible audience all around the world. (He cited the example of Nintendogs, a new virtual pet game for the Nintendo DS handheld machine that has taken off in Japan.) In other words, we are trying to capture the people who are even beyond the gaming population. So for that kind of company, we don't think the term "niche" is appropriate.

 * Iwata: First of all, I've never once been embarrassed that children have supported Nintendo. I'm proud of it. That's because children judge products based on instinct. Everyone wants to appeal to people's instincts, but it's not easy. That doesn't mean we're making products just for children. We believe that there's interactive entertainment that people in their 60s, 70s and 80s can enjoy, so we're doing various things.
 * Satoru Iwata, "Q&A: Video-game industry maverick promises a Revolution" by Todd Bishop, Seattle Post, (May 19, 2005).

 * Meanwhile, Nintendo holds such a commanding lead in the American computer game market that it is occasionally accused of monopolistic practices. Last December, for example, Rep. Dennis Eckhart (D-Ohio) asked the Justice Department's antitrust division to investigate Nintendo's "significant intimidation in the retail market," which supposedly stifles competition.
 * Karl Schoenberger, "Nintendo to Fund Learning Project at MIT", LA Times, (May 16, 1990).

 * Nintendo, though, prefers to compare itself to Walt Disney Co. rather than International Business Machines or Apple Computer. And if it can maintain anything near its recent success, the most important U.S. entertainment company owned by a Japanese firm may not, in the future, be located in Hollywood.
 * Jonathan Weber, "Video Game Maker Nintendo Is Facing New Challenges", LA Times, (January 14, 1991).

 * We teamed up with MIT's Media Lab because we want to go beyond entertainment. We think children ought to learn while they're having fun.
 * Hiroshi Yamauchi in "Nintendo to Fund Learning Project at MIT", Karl Schoenberger, LA Times, (May 16, 1990).

 * There's a whole culture that was established at Nintendo of humility in the face of the enormity of game design, and it's a very respectful approach to the field.
 * Mike Bithell in Zelda & Players Over-Thinking Puzzles | Play, Watch, Listen #133, Play, Watch, Listen podcast, (May 31, 2023).

Nintendo DS

 * If we can increase the scope of the industry, we can re-energise the global market and lift Japan out of depression - that is Nintendo's mission.". Regarding lukewarm GameCube sales which had yielded the company's first reported operating loss in over 100 years, Yamauchi continued: "The DS represents a critical moment for Nintendo's success over the next two years. If it succeeds, we rise to the heavens, if it fails, we sink into hell."

Wii

 * I suppose I could give you a list of the technical specs. I believe you would like that, but I won't for a simple reason: they really don't matter.
 * Satoru Iwata

Jerry Goldsmith

Jerrald King Goldsmith (February 10, 1929 – July 21, 2004) was an American film score composer from Los Angeles, California. Goldsmith was nominated for eighteen Academy Awards (winning only one, for The Omen), and also won five Emmy Awards.

Quotes

 * I admit it worked fairly well but my first reaction was to get up and walk away from the job, but I couldn't. Once you've heard music like that with the picture, it makes your own scoring more difficult to arrive at, it clouds your thinking. Later, as an inside joke, I included a snippet of the Strauss in the score-and some critic pounced on me for stealing. You can´t win.
 * Tony Thomas, Music for the Movies (1973), p. 209

 * The fact that certain composers have been able to create first-class music within the medium of film proves that film music can be as good as the composer is gifted.
 * ibid., p. 209

 * Working to timings and synchronising your musical thoughts with the film can be stimulating rather than restrictive. Scoring is a limitation but like any limitation is can be made to work for you. Verdi, except for a handful of pieces, worked best when he was 'turned on' by a libretto. The most difficult problem in music is form, and in a film you already have this problem solved for you. You are presented with a basic structure, a blueprint, and provided the film has been well put together, well edited, it often suggests its own rhythms and tempo. The quality of the music is strictly up to the composer. Many people seem to assume that because film music serves the visual it must be something of secondary value. Well, the function of any art is to serve a purpose in society. For many years, music and painting served religion. The thing to bear in mind is that film is the youngest of the arts, and that scoring is the youngest of the music arts. We have a great deal of development ahead of us.
 * ibid., p. 209

 * You read reviews by top reviewers of films that not only had remarkably interesting scores, but films whose effectiveness was absolutely enhanced, and frequently created by the music, yet the reviewers seem unaware that their emotions and their nervous reactions to the films have been affected by the scoring. This is a serious flaw. Any film reviewer owes it to himself, and the public, to take every element of the film into account
 * ibid., p. 209
 * On Goldsmith's irritation at the lack of response from responsible critics

 * It's nice to think about the Golden Age of Hollywood, with the big studios and their fabulous music departments and the hundreds of films coming out every year. But it's gone. In some ways the composer today is more fortunate, provided he can find a good film, because he can attempt more than he could two decades ago. Twelve-tone music was unheard of during Max Steiner's heyday, as were any other avant-garde techniques. Finally, the future of film music rests with the composers themselves. lf they take their work seriously and turn out the best that is within them, then perhaps we can persuade not only the public, but the filmmakers that good music is valuable in films. The public is not stupid. If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it will be because it is good.
 * Tony Thomas, Film Score: The Art & Craft of Movie Music (1991), pp. 285–295

 * Originally I was supposed to do Grand Prix, but I was under contract to 20th Century Fox at that time and Alex North was supposed to do Sand Pebbles, but he got sick, so Fox preempted me out of Grand Prix, and to my good fortune, I got to do Sand Pebbles. It was my first time working with Robert Wise and it was a great experience.
 * AOL Online Host (1995-07-11)

About

 * Jerry Goldsmith is an artist who meets all the demands upon the composer in films. He communicates, integrates, subordinates, supports, and designs with discipline.

The Three Musketeers (1993 film)

The Three Musketeers is a 1993 film about three Musketeers - Athos, Porthos, and Aramis - who, after the Musketeers are disbanded, join a young would-be-Musketeer, D'Artagnan, to stop the Cardinal Richelieu's evil plot: kill King Louis and form an alliance with England by way of the mysterious Milady DeWinter.

 * Directed by Stephen Herek. Written by David Loughery, based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas.

All for one and one for all!(taglines)

Porthos

 * [to D'Artagnan] You, boy, are arrogant, hot-tempered and entirely too bold. I like that. It reminds me of me.

Aramis

 * [finds Richelieu's hidden treasure chest in his carriage] Is he a man of God or a man of gold?

Cardinal Richelieu

 * [about MiLady DeWinter] A remarkable woman. The most beautiful I've ever known... and the deadliest. Which would explain my attraction.

King Louis

 * [honoring a kneeling D'artagnan] This world is an uncertain realm, filled with danger. Honor undermined by the pursuit of power, freedom sacrificed when the weak are oppressed by the strong. But there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor and freedom. These men are known as Musketeers. Rise, D'Artagnan, and join them.

Dialogue

 * Aramis: [to Porthos] Only the wrong words are a complete waste of time. The right words can leave a more lasting impression than a thousand of Porthos' kisses.
 * Barmaid: Not likely.
 * Aramis: Shall I demonstrate? [to barmaid] As morning hues of sunswept fire caress your passioned face, alone with thee a pure desire to worship untold grace. My soul would cry in silent prayer to an hour swept apart. Your essence warms the evening air as I dance into your heart. [kisses Barmaid's hand]
 * D'Artagnan: Shakespeare.
 * Aramis: Aramis.
 * Porthos: Fleeting.
 * Barmaid: It was beautiful.
 * Aramis: Oh, thank you. [Barmaid gets up and kisses Aramis]

 * Milady: I don't believe you've suffered the burden of chastity.
 * Cardinal Richelieu: Perhaps you're right.
 * [He pulls back her cloak and moves to embrace her. Milady pulls out a dagger and holds it to his groin.]
 * Milady: I was making an observation, not an offer.
 * Cardinal Richelieu: A word of caution, Milady. A snap of my fingers and you could be back on the block where I found you!
 * Milady: And with a flick of my wrist... [inches the blade closer] I could change your religion.

 * Porthos: Athos, you cannot fight this boy.
 * Athos: Why not?
 * Porthos: I'm fighting him.
 * D'Artagnan: Not until one o'clock.
 * Aramis: I have a duel with him, too.
 * D'Artagnan: Not until two o'clock.

 * [Athos and D'Artagnan are driving Richelieu's carriage away while being chased by his guards. A loud pop is heard]
 * D'Artagnan: They're shooting at us!
 * Porthos: [Stands up with a foaming bottle] Champagne?
 * Athos: We're in the middle of a chase, Porthos!
 * Porthos: You're right. Something red. [Goes back down to find a bottle of wine]

 * [Cardinal Richelieu's been unmasked over his plot to assassinate King Louis]
 * King Louis: You have failed!
 * Cardinal Richelieu: [laughs] You are so naive. But things couldn't have gone more perfectly if I'd planned them myself. The King of France dies at the hands of his own personal guards! [heads to throne dais] Grief-stricken, terrified, the huddled masses turn for comfort to their devout spiritual leader... [hands together in prayer, then sits on the throne] who, ever so humbly, assumes the throne... [flays cape across queen's throne] with a queen by his side.
 * Queen Anne: I would rather die.
 * Richelieu: [kicks stool and stands up] That can be arranged!

Taglines

 * They're Scoundrels, Playboys, Outlaws . . . The Greatest Heroes Who Ever Lived.
 * All for one and one for all!
 * A Place Of Betrayal. The Fate Of The King. A Time For Heroes.

Citizenship

Citizenship is membership in a political community. The term derives from membership of a city (as was the term citizen), but now normally refers to a nation. Citizenship carries with it rights of political participation; many also consider it brings duties to exercise those rights responsibly.

Quotes

 * Is not true that, in this world, before being paper citizens we are our mother's sons in the flesh. What is a human being in reality? To start from the beginning: What are peoples, cultures and what are then custom-houses, parliaments and states? Everybody carries a nursery rhyme in the soul, but nobody carries a passport or a custom-house in the soul.
 * Joxe Azurmendi, Demokratak eta biolentoak (1997), p. 48.

 * This is not a contest between persons. The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to speak to you in defence of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty—the cause of humanity.
 * William Jennings Bryan, Cross of Gold Speech at the Democratic National Convention, Chicago, Illinois, (9 July 1896)

 * In time of trouble we are citizens. Shall we be citizens in war, and aliens in peace? Would that be just?
 * Frederick Douglass, "What the Black Man Wants", speech in Boston, Massachusetts (1865).

 * The effects of the late civil strife have been to free the slave and make him a citizen. Yet he is not possessed of the civil rights which citizenship should carry with it. This is wrong, and should be corrected. To this correction I stand committed, so far as Executive influence can avail.
 * Ulysses S. Grant, Second Inaugural Address (1873).

 * Good roads, good schools and good churches are a sure sign of the best citizenship produced by a free republic. How about our roads?
 * Author unknown; reported in "Sign of Citizenship", Good Roads, A Monthly Journal Devoted to Our National Highways (December 1906), p. 176; Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations (1989).

 * Citizenship is no light trifle to be jeopardized any moment Congress decides to do so under the name of one of its general or implied grants of power.
 * Hugo Black, Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 267–68 (1967).

 * The power of citizenship as a shield against oppression was widely known from the example of Paul's Roman citizenship, which sent the centurion scurrying to his higher-ups with the message: "Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman".
 * Robert H. Jackson, Edwards v. California, 314 U.S. 160, 182 (1941).

 * It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.
 * Robert H. Jackson, American Communications Association v. Douds, 339 U.S. 382, 442-43 (1950).
 * Rome was not by any means unique in fostering this concept of legal and social privilege – there were citizens in ancient Greece, Carthage and numerous other Mediterranean states of the era. But Rome was unique in the way it developed and extended the concept of citizenship over its long history to help sustain its own imperial dominion. The root purpose of the empire was to funnel wealth to be spent in Rome: in that sense it was a racket based on rampant exploitation. Yet through the promise of citizenship – a share in the plunder – conquered aristocrats could usually be brought alongside. Accordingly, during the first two centuries of empire, as the imperial provinces expanded, citizenship was gradually rewarded to high-status groups outside Italy. Noblemen and magistrates, auxiliaries who had completed their service in the army, retired officials and their freed slaves could all acquire citizenship – either full-status or one of the numerous qualified forms which came with a limited but still desirable slew of rights. Finally, in AD 212, the emperor Caracalla finished what Claudius started and decreed that all free people across the provinces could claim citizenship in some form. The entire populace, announced Caracalla, ‘should share in the victory. This edict will enhance the majest of the Roman people.
 * Dan Jones, Powers and Thrones: A New History of the Middle Ages (2021), p. 24

 * If citizenship is a matter of shared beliefs, then I believe in the democracy of species. If citizenship means an oath of loyalty to a leader, then I choose the leader of the trees. If good citizens agree to uphold the laws of the nation, then I choose natural law, the law of reciprocity, of regeneration, of mutual flourishing.
 * Robin Wall Kimmerer,

 * Our government was designed to be run by informed, engaged citizens. We have an incredibly dangerous form of government for people who don't know how it works.
 * Dennis Kruse, "Indiana mulls putting high schoolers to same civics test immigrants take" (January 2, 2015), FoxNews.com. Note: Indiana State Senate Education Committee Chairman Kruse was recommending a high-school student requirement to pass an immigrant civics test.

 * Before Man made us citizens, great Nature made us men.
 * James Russell Lowell, "On the Capture of Certain Fugitive Slaves Near Washington", Boston Courier, 19 July 1845; anthologized in Poems (1848)

 * Each one of us is... called upon to give a judgment upon an immense variety of problems, crucial for our social existence. If that judgment confirms measures and conduct tending to the increased welfare of society, then it may be termed a moral, or, better, a social judgment. It follows, then, that to ensure a judgement's being moral, method and knowledge are essential to its formation. ...[T]he formation of a moral judgment—that is, one which the individual is reasonably certain will tend to social welfare—does not depend solely on the readiness to sacrifice individual gain or comfort, or on the impulse to act unselfishly: it depends in the first place on knowledge and method. The first demand of the state upon the individual is not for self-sacrifice but for self-development. ...[T]he man who gives a vote... in the choice of a representative, after forming a judgement based upon knowledge, is... acting socially, and is fulfilling a higher standard of citizenship.
 * Karl Pearson, The Grammar of Science (1900) Introductory, p. 28.

 * The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight
 * Theodore Roosevelt, Speech at New York (11 November 1902).
 * Regardless of their formal standing within this system, the one thing all involved parties had in common was the obligation to contribute military manpower under Roman leadership and to fund military operations: citizens paid a direct tax (tributum) specifically for this purpose while allied communities were expected to support their own levies. Scale and mobilization intensity were the two critical variables. Scaling-up was achieved by aggressive co-optation. Unlike in Greek city-states, where citizenship was often viewed as a prized privilege, Rome readily bestowed citizen status on outsiders, many of whom were defeated former enemies. Also unlike among the Greeks, citizenship thus became “divorced from ethnicity or geographical location.” The effectively oligarchic nature of Roman government appears to have sufficiently devalued citizen status to ensure this unusual openness. The fact that Romans who resettled in most colonies forfeited citizenship also reflects the relatively low value of formal membership in the Roman state. Allied polities retained their existing governmental arrangements and merely contributed military resources without being incorporated into the republic.
 * Walter Scheidel, Escape from Rome: The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity (2019), p. 59

 * It may be laid down, as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency.
 * George Washington, in "Sentiments on a Peace Establishment" in a letter to Alexander Hamilton (2 May 1783); published in The Writings of George Washington (1938), edited by John C. Fitzpatrick, Vol. 26, p. 289.
 * The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

 * What does naturalization give? All that belongs to the character of a British Subject. What does it take away? All that does not appertain to that character. It makes the party ipso facto a British Subject, to all intents and purposes.

Wikiquote:Notability

Wikiquote exists to provide a free, online, searchable, dictionary of quotations. All entries must meet a minimum threshold of notability, importance, or significance in order for an article on that topic to remain.

 * Articles on Wikiquote should refer to people or things that are well-known.
 * Articles on Wikiquote should be verifiable. This means they should identify the reliable sources which give a quote so that others can check it is being quoted accurately.
 * Wikiquote is not an indiscriminate directory of anything said by anybody.

Generally, if a topic is notable on Wikipedia, then it is notable enough for Wikiquote. Conversely, if an article about the topic has been deleted from Wikipedia on grounds of non-notability, then it is likely to be considered not notable on Wikiquote.

One of the simplest tests for notability of a subject, and of a quote, is to check whether other people have quoted it. They may have been approving or dissenting, said it was well-put or badly-written, but if a quote is often retold by others, then it is notable. If, on the other hand, no-one has thought it worth repeating, then the quote is probably not notable.

Types of notability of articles
Wikiquote articles generally fall into three classes:

 * 1) People
 * 2) Works
 * 3) Themes

People articles
Unlike Wikipedia, Wikiquote articles about people are expected to have some relevance to an English-speaking audience. While Wikipedia considers major figures in non-English speaking countries as notable, if they have not produced remarks which are quoted among English speakers (whether in translation or not), they may not be notable in Wikiquote. Conversely, if they have produced notable quotations (quoted by reliable secondary sources such as dictionaries of quotations) they are notable for WQ purposes.

Works articles
''This section is a stub. You can help by [ expanding it] .''

Theme articles
The main page of Wikiquote states:

 * Wikiquote is a free online compendium of sourced quotations from notable people and creative works in every language, translations of non-English quotes, and links to Wikipedia for further information. Visit the help page or experiment in the sandbox to learn how you can edit nearly any page right now; or go to the Log in to start contributing to Wikiquote.

If a person has a page at either Wikipedia or at Wikiquote, then chances are that the person is "notable". Of course inclusion on either is no guarantee of notability, and lack of an entry on either is by no means proof of non-notability.

Publication within a notable creative work does not necessarily make a particular quote notable (e.g. a letter to the editor of the Baltimore Sun is not necessarily notable even though the Baltimore Sun is itself notable). A sentence in David Copperfield is not necessarily notable, unless it has been quoted seprately from its context.

Even if a person is notable (e.g. has a non-trivial Wikipedia or Wikiquote page), that doesn't mean that everything such a person says on a theme topic should go in Wikiquote. One factor to consider is whether the quote has been quoted by others.

However, for theme articles in particular, quotations from notable people or notable publications that discuss the theme can be especially appropriate regardless of the frequency of the material having been quoted elsewhere, especially obscure or forgotten quotations that speak directly to the theme - this is one way Wikiquote is unique as compared to conventional compendia.

Just because a quotation has not been frequently quoted recently does not mean it was not quoted at some time in the past, but a quote that has never been singled out for quotation should be especially suspect. Inclusion of such a quote at a Wikiquote theme page should be especially disfavored if the quote is relatively long at a theme page that is already large.

Notability of individual quotes
Notability of an individual quote is established on the basis of (1) notability of the quote itself and (2) notability of the source.

1.Criteria for the notability of quotes may include:

 * 1.1 The quote has been widely quoted
 * 1.2 The quote tells the audience something new and interesting about the article topic.

2. Criteria for notability of sources may include:

 * 2.1 The quote is from a notable person
 * 2.2 The quote is from an expert on the article topic and appears in a notable publication.

The following are not considered notable sources for criterion 2.2 above:
 * Blogs and twitter feeds (unless the author is well established to be a notable person).
 * Comments on amazon.com and other online venues.

Non-notability as a reason for deletion
Articles on non-notable subjects can be put up in Votes for deletion, where the article's merits are discussed. It is also possible for administrators to speedily delete articles about real people, groups of people, bands, or clubs where the introduction does not assert the importance or significance of its subject.

Wikiquote talk:Notability

Testing Notability of Quotes
Although we recommend that quotations be notable in themselves, we have allowed in practice that the notability of a person or a work may trump the notability of a quotation. If someone reading Paradise Lost, for example, is pleased by a certain line or passage, it may be added as a quotation regardless of whether those words have been quoted much or at all. In this case, the notability of the author and/or the work is sufficient. Sometimes we pay the price for this: unremarkable or even trite remarks clogging the pages of notable people. There are readers who are enraptured by just about anything written by a loved or admired author. (They're the same individuals, I imagine, who underline almost every other sentence in library books.) And yet, though we regret this, we indulge it because the alternative is worse: namely, sticking to only the tried and true among quotes, which would make us, for all our efforts, not essentially different from compilers of Familiar Quotations; and why merely duplicate what others have done?

Keeping in mind that you were not intending to indicate policy or guidelines, what would you say about this as it applies to your essay? Would you have a problem with a quote which, after being checked on Google or the like, yields little or nothing although it's from a notable source? - InvisibleSun 20:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I've no problem with the 'personal favourite' type of quote (so long as it's a notable person), and indeed I've added one or two myself. I'm still working on the essay but want to play out general standards of notability under the three categories of article, and then go on to selection of quotes. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 21:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I've added some ideas regarding theme articles.Ferrylodge 18:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Quoting legal texts
Chinese wiki quotes more legal texts, like from legislative laws, executive orders, and judicial cases. As I see nothing about notability of works, any comments before I quote legal texts?--Jusjih (talk) 22:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Significant legal texts of major nations are certainly quotable, and how notable they might seem would largely depend on many factors. I see nothing wrong with venturing to put forth what you find notable among them, wherever they might be appropriate. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 23:37, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Verbatim Transcription of Jeffery Goines' Theory
Hello, it's November 2006. The transcription of the Jeffery Goine's theory in the dialouge section has many errors. I am going to correct the transcription.

Jeffery Goines Soliloquy Now Transcribed Verbatim
Hello, I have now completed a verbatim transcription of this classic soliloquy where Jeffery explains how Dr. knows what he is going to do. Very funny and worth having a verbatim copy of. If you google for a sound clip of this scene, it always starts with - "What's goin' on? Well, see here's my theory on that..." So the preface from other characters and Jeffery himself immeadiatly preceeding this hilarious diatribe are never included, it is the speech itself that is so hilarious and it stands on it's own very handsomely. Anybody wants to play a .wav or .mp3 of this scene and double check that would be great. I am also open to suggestions on the description of his cough, as he was describing a "thorough examination" i.e. an internal body cavity search, but the strength of his cough might even preclude any such description (eg. even someone unfamiliar with the movie might could guess what he is pantomiming). It's a great scene.

Aga Khan IV

The Āgā Khān IV (or His Highness Prince Karīm al-Ḥussaynī Āgā Khān IV) KBE CC GCC (born 13 December 1936) is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismaili Muslims, comprised of ethnically and culturally diverse peoples living in over 25 countries around the world. A Harvard graduate in Islamic history, the Aga Khan succeeded his grandfather as Imam of the Ismailis in 1957. He is the founder and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network.

Quotes

 * There are those... who enter the world in such poverty that they are deprived of both the means and the motivation to improve their lot. Unless these unfortunates can be touched with the spark which ignites the spirit of individual enterprise and determination, they will only sink back into renewed apathy, degradation and despair. It is for us, who are more fortunate, to provide that spark.
 * Speech at the Innauguration of the Aga Khan Baug, Versova, India (17 January 1983)

 * The right to hope is the most powerful human motivation I know.
 * Baccalaureate Address at Brown University Delivered by His Highness the Aga Khan, Providence, Rhode Island, United States of America (26 May 1996)

 * I think there is a massive gulf in the understanding and knowledge between Muslims and non-Muslims — I mean particularly the West and the Islamic world. What we are talking about in reality is a strong minority of people committed to their own particular interpretation of Islam, who seek to impose it on others. I do not believe that the totality of the Islamic world recognizes the Taliban interpretation of the faith as being representative of its own view. There is no unanimity in Islam with regard to this interpretation. Generally you will see as much diversity in the Islam as you do in the Christian world today. But the West does not really understand the pluralism of the Islamic world.
 * Interview with Robert Ivy (FAIA), in Architectural Record (31 August 2001)

 * Conflict situations are driven by concepts of victory, power, and elimination of inherited culture, and not by the underlying values of civilization. There are many interpretations of Islam within the wider Islamic community, but generally we are instructed to leave the world a better place than it was when we came into it.The Aga Khan Award for Architecture seeks to make a better place in physical terms. This means trying to bring values into environments, buildings, and contexts that improve the quality of life for future generations.
 * Interview with Robert Ivy (FAIA), in Architectural Record (31 August 2001)

 * Pluralism is no longer simply an asset or a prerequisite for progress and development, it is vital to our existence.
 * Speech at the Ceremony to Inaugurate the Restored Humayun's Tomb Gardens, New Delhi, India (15 April 2003)

 * What students know is no longer the most important measure of an education. The true test is the ability of students and graduates to engage with what they do not know, and to work out a solution. They must also be able to reach conclusions that constitute the basis for informed judgements. The ability to make judgements that are grounded in solid information, and employ careful analysis, should be one of the most important goals for any educational endeavor. As students develop this capability, they can begin to grapple with the most important and difficult step: to learn to place such judgements in an ethical framework. For all these reasons, there is no better investment that individuals, parents and the nation can make than an investment in education of the highest possible quality. Such investments are reflected, and endure, in the formation of the kind of social conscience that our world so desperately needs.
 * Foreword to Excellence in Education (2003)

 * A secure pluralistic society requires communities that are educated and confident both in the identity and depth of their own traditions and in those of their neighbours.
 * Address at the Leadership and Diversity Conference Gatineau, Quebec, Canada (19 May 2004)

 * Canada has an experience of governance of which much of the world stands in dire need. It is a world of increasing dissension and conflict in which a significant contribution is the failure of different ethnic, tribal, religious, or social groups to search for, and agree upon, a common space for harmonious co-existence.
 * Address by His Highness the Aga Khan at the Leadership and Diversity Conference, Gatineau, Canada (19 May 2004)

 * Pluralist societies are not accidents of history. They are a product of enlightened education and continuous investment by governments and all of civil society in recognizing and celebrating the diversity of the world’s peoples.
 * In a speech on Democratic Development, Pluralism and Civil Society delivered at the Nobel Institute, Oslo, Norway (7 April 2005). Transcript online at the.

 * I believe leadership everywhere must continuously work to ensure that pluralism, and all its benefits, become top global priorities. In this effort, civil society has a vital role. By its very nature, civil society is pluralist because it seeks to speak for the multiple interests not represented by the state. I refer, for example, to organisations which ensure best practices such as legal societies and associations of accountants, doctors and engineers. The meritocracy they represent is the very foundation of pluralism. And meritocracy is one of the principles of democracy itself.
 * In a speech on Democratic Development, Pluralism and Civil Society delivered at the Nobel Institute, Oslo, Norway (7 April 2005). Transcript online at the.

 * Civil society organisations make a major contribution to human development, particularly when democracies are failing, or have failed; for it is then that the institutions of civil society can, and often do, carry an added burden to help sustain improvements in quality of life. I believe strongly that a critical part of any development strategy should include support for civil society. I know that Norway supports this approach and works actively with its own civil society organizations to build capacity in the developing world.

 * Address by His Highness the Aga Khan to the Tutzing Evangelical Academy Upon Receiving the "Tolerance" Award, Tutzing, Germany (20 May 2006)

 * The spirit of the Knowledge Society is the spirit of Pluralism—a readiness to accept the Other, indeed to learn from him, to see difference as an opportunity rather than a threat.
 * Address by His Highness the Aga Khan to the 2006 Convocation of the Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan (2 December 2006)]

 * If we judge from Islamic history, there is much to encourage us. For century after century, the Arabs, the Persians, the Turks and many other Islamic societies achieved powerful leadership roles in the world — not only politically and economically but also intellectually... The fundamental reason for the pre-eminence of Islamic civilizations lay neither in accidents of history nor in acts of war, but rather in their ability to discover new knowledge, to make it their own, and to build constructively upon it. They became the Knowledge Societies of their time.

 * The search for justice and security, the struggle for equality of opportunity, the quest for tolerance and harmony, the pursuit of human dignity – these are moral imperatives which we must work towards and think about on a daily basis.

 * The Muslim world, with its history and cultures, and indeed its different interpretations of Islam, is still little known in the West… The two worlds, Muslim and non-Muslim, Eastern and Western, must, as a matter of urgency, make a real effort to get to know one another, for I fear that what we have is not a clash of civilisations, but a clash of ignorance on both sides.
 * Closing Address by His Highness the Aga Khan at the "Musée-Musées" Round Table Louvre Museum, (17 October 2007)

 * You start with an idea, and then you let it grow. I think at the moment, there is a tendency to want to see political change occur in the developing world very rapidly, and I think this notion of consultation and democracy is all excellent, but I simply don't believe that Western forms of democracy are necessarily replicable throughout the developing world that I know, and indeed I would go so far as to say that, at the moment, one of our risks is to see democracies fail. … I think you have to be patient, careful, analytical, thoughtful, prudent, and build step-by-step. I don't think it can be done like mixing a glass of Nescafé.
 * Interview with the Aga Khan, BBC World News America, (13 November 2007)

I'm Stardust8212 over on wikipedia and a member of the Futurama wikiproject there. As such I am trying to move the various quotes sections from those pages to this obviously more appropriate sister project. Any additions I make will likely be directly taken from there so if they are wrong don't blame me!
