Ian Kershaw

Sir Ian Kershaw (born 29 April 1943) is a British historian and retired University of Sheffield professor. He is a specialist in the study of Nazi Germany and a biographer of Adolf Hitler.

Popular Opinion and Political Dissent in the Third Reich, Bavaria 1933-1945 (1983)

 * I should like to think that had I been around at the time I would have been a convinced anti-Nazi engaged in the underground resistance fight. However, I know really that I would have been as confused and felt as helpless as most of the people I am writing about.
 * Preface

 * The road to Auschwitz was built by hate, but paved with indifference.
 * p. 277.

Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris (1999)

 * New York and London, W.W. Norton & Company, 1999

 * The question of 'historical greatness' was usually implicit in the writing of conventional biography — particularly so in the German tradition. The figure of Hitler, whose attributes — distinguished from his political aura and impact — were scarcely noble, elevating or enriching, posed self-evident problems for such a tradition.
 * Reflecting on Hitler

 * Hitler's power was of an extraordinary kind. He did not base his claim to power (except in a most formal sense) on his position as a party leader, or on any functional position. He derived it from what he saw as his historic mission to save Germany. His power, in other words, was 'charismatic', not institutional. It depended on the readiness of others to see 'heroic' qualities in him. And they did see those qualities — perhaps even before he himself came to believe in them.
 * Reflecting on Hitler

 * A history of Hitler has to be a history of his power — how he came to get it, what its character was, how he exercised it, why he was allowed to expand it to break all institutional barriers, why resistance to that power was so feeble. But these are questions to be directed at German society, not just at Hitler.
 * Reflecting on Hitler

 * For the Socialist and Communist left — with only minor differences between them in this regard — Hitler was portrayed as the hireling of big capitalism, the front-man for the imperialists, the political strike-force of the enemies, of the working class. Such views were to persist after 1933 in the left-wing underground resistance organizations, the underestimation of Hitler they contained hindering clear perceptions of the ideological dynamism of Nazism. For Catholics — the other sub-culture which Nazism found greatest difficulty in penetrating, before and after 1933 — Hitler was above all seen as the head of a ‘godless’, anti-Christian movement. In Protestant church-going circles, impression of Hitler varied. Some looked to the dangers of a neo-heathen movement which had roused the base instincts of the masses. Others saw the potential, at a time when church attendance was dwindling and moral and religious values were allegedly being undermined, of Hitler's 'national renewal' bringing in its wake ethical and religious revival. On the nationalist-conservative Right, the relatively sympathetic treatment of Hitler at the time of the Young Plan Campaign had given way to hostility. Hitler was portrayed for the most part as intransigent and irresponsible, a wild and vulgar demagogue, not a statesman, an obstacle to political recovery, the head of an extreme movement with menacing socialistic tendencies. Against these negative images had to be set the adulation of the third of the population that, despite the setbacks of summer and autumn, still saw in Hitler the only hope for Germany's future.
 * p. 412

Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis (2000)

 * Never in history has such ruination – physical and moral – been associated with the name of one man. That the ruination had far deeper roots and far more profound causes than the aims and actions of one man has been evident in the preceding chapters. That the previously unprobed depths of inhumanity plumbed by the Nazi regime could draw upon wide-ranging complicity at all levels of society has been equally apparent. But Hitler's name justifiably stands for all time as that of the chief instigator of the most profound collapse of civilization in modern times. The extreme form of personal rule which an ill-educated beerhall demagogue and racist bigot, a narcissistic, megalomaniac, self-styled national saviour was allowed to acquire and exercise in a modern, economically advanced, and cultured land known for its philosophers and poets, was absolutely decisive in the terrible unfolding of events in those fateful twelve years.
 * p. 841

To Hell and Back: Europe 1914-1949 (2015)

 * If Britain was solidly stable and France not much less so, Germany was more enigmatic. It fitted neatly into neither the model of relatively well-established democracies of the more economically advanced north-western Europe, nor the model of the newly created, fragile democracies of eastern Europe. In many ways, Germany was a hybrid. It looked both west and east.
 * pp. 191-192

 * The terrible famine of 1932 was still a searing memory. The heavy hand of Stalinist oppression had not receded since then. ... There was, then, good reason for the deep and widespread hatred for the Soviets among the Ukrainian population, and little wonder that the Germans were welcomed as liberators. Only downright idiocy could have converted that into even greater hatred of the Germans than the Soviets. But that is what the German conquerors achieved.
 * pp. 366-367

Personality and Power (2022)
Such an assessment is too dismissive. European as well as Spanish history would certainly, in indefinable ways, have been different had the republic survived after 1936. That it did not survive owed much to Franco's leadership in the Civil War. Moreover, the importance of that war was such that it drew in- in different measure- Europe's major powers and attracted the participation of volunteer fighters from across the continent. Franco's dealings with the Axis powers during the Second World War and then with the West during the Cold War also gave his long dictatorship a significance not confined to Spain. Moreover, the character of the subsequent transition to pluralist democracy, and the impact of Franco's era on Spanish memory and political culture and on the divisive question of regional separatism in one of Europe's biggest countries, additionally make Franco a figure of relevance to European, not just Spanish, history. Not least, Franco demonstrates how an individual with recognized qualities as a military commander but no experience of political leadership could benefit from the historical conditions that made his assumption of power possible in the first place and enabled him to go on to 'make his own history.'
 * Franco, it is tempting to think, is too peripheral a figure to be ranked as a 'maker of twentieth-century Europe'- central to Spanish history of the era, naturally, but not necessarily of wider importance. It is, of course, obvious that Franco's wider impact scarcely compares with that of Hitler and Mussolini, or Lenin and Stalin. He presents a case-study in the role and impact of the individual in history at the lower end of the scale. And it is fair to say that for much of the twentieth century Spain was on the periphery of the key developments in Europe. It has been judged that Franco 'at best influenced world history during the 1930s. But the twentieth century would not have been much different without him.'
 * p. 235-236

Charles Moore concluded his monumental three-volume biography by describing Mrs Thatcher as "the greatest genius ever to direct the affairs of the United Kingdom." The accolade is surely unwarranted. But, like her or loathe her, she was without doubt an extraordinary political leader.
 * The last years before her death on 8 April 2013 were spent in increasing isolation, suffering from the tragic onset of dementia. Her funeral was held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, something accorded only to outstanding national figures. Sir Winston Churchill's in 1965 united practically the whole country. Mrs Thatcher had, however, been a deeply divisive Prime Minister, who had elicited unusually strong devotion, but had also inspired not just dislike, but hatred, at the other end of the spectrum. Attitudes toward her death and subsequent state funeral duly reflected the polarization. More than thirty years after she left 10 Downing Street for the last time, the name Magaret Thatcher still retains the capacity to engender the full range of emotions. The scars felt by the many who had borne the brunt of her government's economic policies are to this day still not healed.
 * p. 326

Template talk:Cite web

Improving access date
At least for our purposes here in WQ, I think the "access date" in this template would be better presented more like cite news (in smaller type, without linking the date). Not linking the date helps to keep "What links here" on the date pages useful, since the access date of a Web citation is not going to be relevant for QotD purposes. 121a0012 06:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd go along with the smaller type, but I'd prefer to keep the date links. Their primary purpose is to provide preference-based date formatting. Yes, the dates show up in "What links here", but frankly, we don't exactly have many sources in articles at this point for them to be more than a minor inconvenience. I expect we'll have year articles to provide blue links long before we have more than a desultory collection of properly cited web pages, and we're not likely ever to feel the "What links here" problem as much as Wikipedia, which nevertheless uses the date links. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Georges St. Pierre

Georges "Rush" St. Pierre (born May 19, 1981), often referred to as GSP, is a French Canadian mixed martial arts fighter and former UFC Welterweight and Middleweight Champion.

MMA

 * "People often say, 'Ah, ultimate fighting is so violent,' but it's rooted in martial arts. Martial arts incarnate respect. You can't walk into a dojo and say to your sensei, 'Hey, salut tabarnac!' After every one of my fights I go and shake the hand of my opponent. I don't need to hate the other fighter to fight him well. It's a sport." **Interview with Isa Tousignant

 * "A guy, a fighter is going to tell you that, ooh, he's not nervous, that he believes in himself 100%. I think he's a liar, or I think he's just not all there. Before [you] fight, you always have some little doubt about yourself, and I think that's what keeps you sharper. So yes, I was confident, but at the same time I was worried. I think that little feeling makes me sharper and makes me stronger."
 * UFC 65 post fight press conference.

 * "I am very glad you won that fight Matt, but I was not impressed by your performance and I look forward to fighting you in the near future"
 * To Matt Hughes at UFC 63 after Matt beat BJ Penn in the 3rd round.

 * "...and now, everybody, I want you to listen to me. I'm going to go to my knees, like that, and ask the UFC, my next match, to give me a world title shot. Please! I want the belt so bad! Please give it to me!"
 * UFC 56 Post fight interview

 * "I knew I hurt him, because when I threw my first elbow... he said 'UGGH!'"
 * After fight with Sean Sherk at UFC 56, on breaking Sherk's nose.
 * "I fought Hughes the first time, he beat me fair and square- fairly squarely, sorry."
 * After fight with Sean Sherk at UFC 56, pleading for a rematch with Hughes.

 * "Today I'm doing boxing in the morning, tonight I'll do my sprints. Tomorrow it's jiu-jitsu in the morning, Olympic wrestling in the evening, and Friday it's Muay Thai and then techniques or swimming in the evening, something like that. Every day I've got a routine that enables me to diversify my training. In this sport the most important thing is to be as complete a fighter as possible."

 * "I went to a school where it was pretty rough - I'd get my clothes stolen, my cash. And at home life was pretty hard too. I had a difficult childhood, and I'm not saying that that's why I do ultimate fighting, but it helped shape my character."

Eliza Farnham

Eliza Farnham (November 17, 1815 – December 15, 1864) 19th-century American novelist, feminist, abolitionist, and activist for prison reform, her fame as a writer rests upon her work as a nature writer. Life in Prairie Land (1846), an account of life on the Illinois prairie near Pekin between 1836 and 1840.

Quotes

 * San Francisco, I believe, has the most disagreeable climate and locality of any city on the globe. If the winter be not unusually wet, there is some delightful weather to be enjoyed. If it be, you are flooded, and the rainy season closes to give place to what is miscalled summer — a season so cold that you require more clothing than you did in January; so damp with fogs and mists that you are penetrated to the very marrow; so windy that if you are abroad in the afternoon it is a continual struggle. Your eyes are blinded, your teeth set on edge, and your whole person made so uncomfortable by the sand that has insinuated itself through your clothing, that you could not conceive it possible to feel a sensation of comfort short of a warm bath and shower. . . . What sort of end the unfortunates, who spend their lives there, can expect under such circumstances, one does not easily foresee.
 * California, In-doors and Out (1856)

 * Each of the Arts whose office is to refine, purify, adorn, embellish and grace life is under the patronage of a Muse, no god being found worthy to preside over them.
 * Woman and Her Era (1864), pt. 2, ch. 1

 * Our own theological Church, as we know, has scorned and vilified the body till it has seemed almost a reproach and a shame to have one, yet at the same time has credited it with power to drag the soul to perdition.
 * Woman and Her Era (1864), pt. 1, ch. 1

 * The human face is the organic seat of beauty.... It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.
 * Woman and Her Era (1864), pt. 1, ch. 1

Removed copyvio text
I've removed the text originally copied to this article because it was apparently copied verbatim from H.I.M. Haile Selassie I, from BobMarley.com, as could be seen by the identical introductory text. The speech itself may not be covered by copyright, and may be able to be transwikied to Wikisource. (See s:Portal:Speeches/Copyright for more information.) Interested editors can use the page history to extract the speech text (without the copyvio intro) for this purpose. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Added sources
I've now added preliminary sources for all the current quotes in this article. They aren't completely satisfactory, but I hope they'll do for now until we can get better ones. In particular, the Reggae.com website has a 525k Alexa rating, which is insufficiently reliable, but it does offer the full text without unmarked editorializing, unlike the BobMarley.com website. The Harvard Rhetorical Society page comes from the Harvard Computer Society (Alexa rank 1039), but it includes an attribution of the material to "William Safire's Lend me Your Ears (Cobbett Corp., 1997)", which doesn't make clear whether only the prefacing paragraph is what is excerpted, or if the entire webpage, which includes both an "Edited Speech" and a "Full-Length Speech" section, is pulled from the book. (That's a rather disappointing ambiguity coming from such a prestigious university.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Friendly advice on notability issues
I noticed that several articles you created are now at Votes for deletion because they don't meet Wikiquote criteria: William Henry Duryea, Max N. Lindauer, and Abraham Kershaw. It can be painful when others find fault with one's work, but learning from those discussions will help you in the long run. HouseOfChange (talk) 04:23, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Henry K. Lattin
I have added a "" template to the article Henry K. Lattin, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but it may not satisfy Wikiquote's criteria for inclusion, for the reasons given in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikiquote is not" and Wikiquote's deletion policy).

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Votes for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ~ UDScott (talk) 19:08, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Eriksene. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Eriksene~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Request for usurpation
Hello, Abhinav. A request is being made at Changing username/Usurpation to usurp, or "take over", your username because another user would like to use it to edit. The changing username guideline allows a username that is not being actively used to be usurped if the user is given an opportunity to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request may be filled shortly, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and erase this notification, or make an edit (either to this page or to Changing username/Usurpation) clearly stating that you object to usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. BD2412 T 15:50, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Sourced

 * The consequences of the behavior of the BATF in these kinds of cases (events such as Waco) is that they are not trusted. They are detested, and I have described them properly as jackbooted American fascists.  They have shown no concern over the rights of ordinary citizens or their property.  They intrude without the slightest regard or concern.

 * My old daddy used to say "kill the closest snake first".
 * PBS Online NewsHour, August 18, 2003.

 * I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah, or for or against Israel.
 * In response to a question from a Detroit TV reporter, August 2006
 * Quoted in

 * Let me remind you this has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.
 * From the live telephone interview which he gave to Paul W. Smith on his show Monday morning (on Detroit WJR News/Talk 760), March 22, 2010 about universal health care legislation.

Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm, Jakob Ludwig Karl Grimm (January 4 1785 – September 20 1863) and Wilhelm Karl Grimm (February 24 1786 – December 16 1859), were both giants in the field of Germanic philology, though they are best remembered by the general reading public for their Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales). This title is often, rather inaccurately, translated as Grimm's Fairy Tales.

For the film of the same name see The Brothers Grimm (film).

Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812–1857)
English quotations and page-numbers are taken from Ralph Mannheim (trans.) The Penguin Complete Grimms' Tales for Young and Old ([1977] 1984).

 *  Wenn die Zauberin hinein wollte, so stellte sie sich unten hin und rief: "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Laß mir dein Haar herunter!" Rapunzel hatte lange, prächtige Haare, fein wie gesponnen Gold. Wenn sie nun die Stimme der Zauberin vernahm, so band sie ihre Zöpfe los, wickelte sie oben um einen Fensterhaken, und dann fielen die Haare zwanzig Ellen tief herunter, und die Zauberin stieg daran hinauf.
 * Translation: When the witch wanted to come in, she stood down below and called out: "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair for me." Rapunzel had beautiful long gorgeous hair, as fine as spun gold. When she heard the witch's voice, she undid her braids and fastened them to the window latch.  They fell to the ground twenty ells down, and the witch climbed up on them.
 * "Rapunzel", p. 47: Sometimes this is quoted as "Rapunzel, let down your hair," and sometimes "Rapunzel, let your hair down".

 * Und als sie ganz nahe herankamen, so sahen sie, daß das Häuslein aus Brot gebaut war und mit Kuchen gedeckt; aber die Fenster waren von hellem Zucker.
 * Translation: When they came closer, they saw that the house was made of bread, and the roof was made of cake and the windows of sparkling sugar.
 * "Hänsel und Gretel" ("Hansel and Gretel"), p. 59.

 * "Ei, Großmutter, was hast du für große Ohren!" "Daß ich dich besser hören kann." "Ei, Großmutter, was hast du für große Augen!" "Daß ich dich besser sehen kann." "Ei, Großmutter, was hast du für große Hände" "Daß ich dich besser packen kann." "Aber, Großmutter, was hast du für ein entsetzlich großes Maul!" "Daß ich dich besser fressen kann."
 * Translation: "Oh, grandmother, what big ears you have!" "The better to hear you with". "Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!" "The better to see you with". "Oh, grandmother, what big hands you have!" "The better to grab you with". "But, grandmother, what a dreadful big mouth you have!" "The better to eat you with".
 * "Rotkäppchen" ("Little Red Cap"), p. 100.

 * Der erste sprach: "Wer hat auf meinem Stühlchen gesessen?" Der zweite: "Wer hat von meinem Tellerchen gegessen?" Der dritte: "Wer hat von meinem Brötchen genommen?" Der vierte: "Wer hat von meinem Gemüschen gegessen?" Der fünfte: "Wer hat mit meinem Gäbelchen gestochen?" Der sechste: "Wer hat mit meinem Messerchen geschnitten?" Der siebente: "Wer hat aus meinem Becherlein getrunken?" Dann sah sich der erste um und sah, dass auf seinem Bett eine kleine Delle war, da sprach er: "Wer hat in meinem Bettchen gelegen?" Die anderen kamen gelaufen und riefen: "In meinem hat auch jemand gelegen!" Der siebente aber, als er in sein Bett sah, erblickte Schneewittchen, das lag darin und schlief. Nun rief er die anderen, die kamen herbeigelaufen und schrien vor Verwunderung, holten ihre sieben Lichtlein und beleuchteten Schneewittchen.
 * Translation: The first said: "Who has been sitting in my chair?" The second: "Who has been eating off my plate?" The third: "Who has taken a bite of my bread?" The fourth: "Who has been eating some of my vegetables?" The fifth: "Who has been using my fork?" The sixth: "Who has been cutting with my knife?" And the seventh: "Who has been drinking out of my cup?" Then the first looked around, saw a little hollow in his bed and said: "Who has been lying in my bed?" The others came running, and cried out: "Somebody has been lying in my bed too". But when the seventh looked at his bed, he saw Snow White lying there asleep.
 * "Schneewittchen" ("Snow White"), p. 186.

 * Die Königin...trat vor ihren Spiegel und sprach: "Spieglein, Spieglein, an der Wand, Wer ist die Schönste im ganzen Land?"  Da antwortete der Spiegel:  "Frau Königin, Ihr seid die Schönste hier, Aber Schneewittchen über den Bergen Bei den sieben Zwergen Ist noch tausendmal schöner als Ihr."
 * Translation: The queen...went to her mirror and said: "Mirror, mirror, here I stand. Who is the fairest in the land?"  And the mirror replied:  You, O Queen, are the fairest here, But Snow White, who has gone to stay With the seven dwarfs far, far away, Is a thousand times more fair".
 * "Schneewittchen" ("Snow White"), pp. 186-7.

 * Und wie sie hineintrat, erkannte sie Schneewittchen, und vor Angst und Schrecken stand sie da und konnte sich nicht regen. Aber es waren schon eiserne Pantoffel über Kohlenfeuer gestellt und wurden mit Zangen hereingetragen und vor sie hingestellt. Da mußte sie in die rotglühenden Schuhe treten und so lange tanzen, bis sie tot zur Erde fiel.
 * Translation: The moment she [i.e. the queen] entered the hall she recognized Snow White, and she was so terrified that she just stood there and couldn't move. But two iron slippers had already been put into glowing coals. Someone took them out with a pair of tongs and set them down in front of her. She was forced to step into the red-hot shoes and dance till she fell to the floor dead.
 * "Schneewittchen" ("Snow White"), p. 191.
 * This happy ending of the Grimms' "Snow White" was not used by Disney.

 * "Nun, Frau Königin, wie heiß' ich?" Fragte sie erst: "Heißest du Kunz?" "Nein." "Heißest du Heinz?" "Nein." "Heißt du etwa Rumpelstilzchen?" "Das hat dir der Teufel gesagt, das hat dir der Teufel gesagt," schrie das Männlein.
 * Translation: "Well, Your Majesty, what's my name?" She started by asking: "Is it Tom?" "No". "Is it Dick?" "No". "Could it be Rumpelstiltskin?" "The Devil told you that! The Devil told you that!" the little man screamed.
 * "Rumpelstilzchen" ("Rumpelstiltskin"), p. 198.

 * ''"Was hast du gelernt? Wieviel Künste verstehst du?" "Ich verstehe nur eine einzige," antwortete bescheidentlich die Katze. "Was ist das für eine Kunst?" fragte der Fuchs. "Wenn die Hunde hinter mir her sind, so kann ich auf einen Baum springen und mich retten." "Ist das alles?" sagte der Fuchs, "Ich bin Herr über Hundert Künste und habe überdies noch einen Sack voll Liste".
 * Translation: "What have you ever learned? What arts have you mastered?" "Only one", said the cat modestly. "And what is that, pray?" asked the fox. "When dogs are after me, I can save myself by climbing a tree". "Is that all?" said the fox. "I am the master of a hundred arts, and furthermore I have a whole bag of tricks".
 * "Der Fuchs und die Katze" ("The Fox and the Cat"), pp. 267-8.
 * Cf. Archilochus: "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing".

 * Zur Zeit, wo das Wünschen noch geholfen hat, ward ein Königssohn von einer alten Hexe verwünscht, dass er im Walde in einem großen Eisenofen sitzen sollte.
 * Translation: In the days when wishing still helped, an old witch with her magic imprisoned a prince in a cast-iron stove deep in the forest.
 * "Der Eisenofen" ("The Cast-iron Stove"), p. 432.

Quotes about Grimms

 * Entertainment written for children was no less grisly. In 1815 Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published a compendium of old folktales that had gradually been adapted for children. Commonly known as Grimm’s Fairy Tales, the collection ranks with the Bible and Shakespeare as one of the bestselling and most respected works in the Western canon. Though it isn’t obvious from the bowdlerized versions in Walt Disney films, the tales are filled with murder, infanticide, cannibalism, mutilation, and sexual abuse—grim fairy tales indeed. Take just the three famous stepmother stories: During a famine, the father and stepmother of Hansel and Gretel abandon them in a forest so that they will starve to death. The children stumble upon an edible house inhabited by a witch, who imprisons Hansel and fattens him up in preparation for eating him. Fortunately Gretel shoves the witch into a fiery oven, and “the godless witch burned to death in a horrible way.”  Cinderella’s stepsisters, when trying to squeeze into her slippers, take their mother’s advice and cut off a toe or heel to make them fit. Doves notice the blood, and after Cinderella marries the prince, they peck out the stepsisters’ eyes, punishing them “for their wickedness and malice with blindness for the rest of their lives.” Snow White arouses the jealousy of her stepmother, the queen, so the queen orders a hunter to take her into the forest, kill her, and bring back her lungs and liver for the queen to eat. When the queen realizes that Snow White has escaped, she makes three more attempts on her life, two by poison, one by asphyxiation. After the prince has revived her, the queen crashes their wedding, but “iron slippers had already been heated up for her over a fire of coals.... She had to put on the red-hot iron shoes and dance in them until she dropped to the ground dead.” As we shall see, purveyors of entertainment for young children today have become so intolerant of violence that even episodes of the early Muppets have been deemed too dangerous for them.

The Continental
This was originally tagged for speedy deletion (unremarkable subject) by. However, given that there's no introduction, and a search for "The Continental" turns up over 3 million results, it's very difficult to make any quick judgement about the notability (or lack thereof) of this subject. The third quote mentions camera action, and suggests a film or television show; two Wikipedia pages match this, a 1950s television show and a recurring parody of said show on Saturday Night Live. A search on the quote turns up nothing helpful. Two of the three only show up on this Wikiquote page, while the other ("The view from here...") is only listed in two distinct places, both of which quote it, but don't provide any source. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Bright Lights, Big City (musical)

Bright Lights, Big City (1999) is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Paul Scott Goodman. It is based on the movie by the same name, which is based on the book of the same name.

Jamie

 * I am not the kind of guy who should be in a place like this at this time of the morning, Sunday morning, 6 am. --"Bright Lights, Big City"

 * I'm a menace to myself, dancing this close to heartbreak. --"Bright Lights, Big City"

 * And all you need is one more popper, one more vodka, one more topsy-turvey, hunky-dory, manic, panic, magic high. --"Back in the City"

 * Battered and bruised as this carton of milk. --"Sunday Morning, 6 AM"

 * I'm just a boy in the city, Clara -- give a boy a break. --"Fact and Fiction"

 * I hate the French. I hate them all. From Toulouse Lau-fucking-Trec to Charles de Gaulle. I can't stand the way they put that little thing above the "e", I hate the French... --"I Hate the French"

 * From out of the blue, it's green for go, I'm in the pink... Kissing a philosopher really colors the way you think. --"What a Perfect Feeling"

 * It's that psycho-killer look, it's the fact that I mistook myself for someone else. --"Camera Wall"

 * If I lie down, I might die. --"Camera Wall"

 * Isn't it amazing? Isn't it incredible? Quite alarming, this feeling of not feeling anything at all. --"Stay in My Life"

 * One day there's a Sunday coming up when my typer might be hyper with the fire of a novel once again. -- "Wordfall"

Tad

Barfly (film)

Barfly is a 1987 film about a a drunk man's experience as he travels from bar to bar. It is a semi-autobiography of poet/author Charles Bukowski during the time he spent drinking heavily in Los Angeles.
 * Directed by Barbet Schroeder. Written by Charles Bukowski.

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.

Henry Chinaski

 * Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.
 * [to Eddie] Your mom's cunt smells like carpet cleaner.
 * I remember ordering a draught, barkeep. What, are you out of brew, or has that lobotomy finally taken hold?
 * So you hired a dick to find an asshole?
 * It's hatred. It's the only thing that lasts.
 * [Voice over] And as my hands drop the last desperate pen, in some cheap room, they will find me there and never know my name, my meaning, nor the treasure of my escape.
 * [to his own bloody face as reflected in the bathroom mirror] Nothing but the dripping sink. Empty bottle. Euphoria. Youth fenced in, stabbed and shaved. Taut words propped up to die

Eddie

 * I'd hate to be you if I were me.

Dialogue

 * Wanda: I can't stand people, I hate them.
 * Henry: Oh yeah?
 * Wanda: Do you hate them?
 * Henry: No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

 * Tully: You can really write. Why do you live like a bum?
 * Henry: I am a bum. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to write about the sufferings of the upper classes?
 * Tully: This may be news to you but they suffer too.
 * Henry: Hey baby, nobody suffers like the poor.

 * Tully: Why did you send your stuff to us?
 * Henry: Well, I liked the title of the mag. It boggled my scrotum.
 * Tully: Why don't you stop drinking? Anybody can be a drunk.
 * Henry: Anybody can be a non-drunk. It takes a special talent to be a drunk. It takes endurance. Endurance is more important than truth.

 * Henry: This is a world where everybody's gotta do something. Y'know, somebody laid down this rule that everybody's gotta do something, they gotta be something. You know, a dentist, a glider pilot, a narc, a janitor, a preacher, all that. [sighs] Sometimes I just get tired of thinking of all the things that I don't wanna do. All the things that I don't wanna be. Places I don't wanna go, like India, like getting my teeth cleaned. Save the whale, all that, I don't understand that.
 * Jim: You're not supposed to think about it. I think the whole trick is, not to think about it.

 * Henry: That's it.
 * Wanda: That's what?
 * Henry: I'm broke. Can't buy another drink.
 * Wanda: You mean you don't have any money?
 * Henry: No money, no job, no rent. Hey, I'm back to normal.

 * Henry: Why did it have to be Eddie? He symbolizes everything that disgusts me. Obviousness. Unoriginal macho energy. Ladies man...
 * Wanda: You're right. He's not much.

 * Eddie: All you gotta do is beg for a little mercy.
 * Henry: Quittin' to you would be like swallowin' piss for eternity.

 * Henry: Some guys really know how to get the women.
 * Jim: Now, you don't know how?
 * Henry: Hey, I can get one for ten minutes. That's my limit.

 * Tully: You know, in the guest house, you could write in peace.
 * Henry: Hey, Tully baby, nobody who could write worth a damn could ever write in peace...Jesus.
