 * The only light in the darkness was the administration of Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal in the United States.
 * Isaiah Berlin, "The Natural" The American Idea: The Best of the Atlantic Monthly (1955), p. 230.

 * The New Deal also came to the rescue of mortaged farmers and city-dwellers by taking steps to prevent foreclosures, then dreadfully common; the federal government, in essence, underwrote both the lenders and the borrowers.
 * Hugh Brogan, The Penguin History of the United States of America, 1990.

 * The resemblances between Adolf Hitler's speech to the newly elected Reichstag on March 21, 1933, and Roosevelt's inaugural address are indeed a great deal more striking than the differences. Yet it almost goes without saying that the United States and Germany took wholly different political directions from 1933 until 1945, the year when, both still in office, Roosevelt and Hitler died. Despite Roosevelt's threat to override Congress if it stood in his way, and despite his three subsequent re-elections, there were only two minor changes to the US Constitution during his presidency: the time between elections and changes of administration was reduced (Amendment 20) and the prohibition of alcohol was repealed (Amendment 21). The most important political consequence of the New Deal was significantly to strengthen the federal government relative to the individual states; democracy as such was not weakened. Indeed, Congress rejected Roosevelt's Judiciary Reorganization Bill. By contrast, the Weimar Constitution had already begun to decompose two or three years before the 1933 general election, with the increasing reliance of Hitler's predecessors on emergency presidential decrees. By the end of 1934 it had been reduced to a more or less empty shell. While Roosevelt was always in some measure constrained by the legislature, the courts, the federal states and the electorate, Hitler's will became absolute, untrammelled even by the need for consistency or written expression.

 * The Green New Deal is modeled after FDRʼs New Deal, which is always celebrated as progressive action that lifted the US out of economic depression through infrastructure development projects like dams and extractive industries that put people to work. Whatʼs far less acknowledged, however, is how much environmental and cultural death and destruction all that development wreaked on Indian country. We see a similar pattern occurring globally in the realm of “sustainable” development, which has given rise to a modern global land rush that impacts Indigenous communities the most. Ultimately, unchecked capitalism is the problem and we need to heed the research that connects cultural diversity with biodiversity if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
 * Dina Gilio-Whitaker Interview (2019)

 * Even today-in blithe disregard to his actual philosophy- Smith is generally regarded as a conservative economist, whereas in fact, he is more avowedly hostile to the motives of businessman then most New Deal economists.
 * Robert Heilbroner, The Worldly Philosophers, 1953.

 * This is what the "New Deal" means to me, an era of acute social consciousness and realization of mutual responsibility, a time of reciprocal helpfulness, of greater understanding and willingness to work together for the good of all.
 * Harold L. Ickes, Speech to the Associated General Contractors of America (Jan. 31, 1936) as quoted by Jason Scott, Building New Deal Liberalism: The Political Economy of Public Works, 1933-1956 2006.

 * Woodrow Wilson's New Freedom promised our nation a new political and economic framework. Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal promised security and succor to those in need. But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises--it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook--it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security.
 * John F. Kennedy, "The New Frontier" speech, 1960.

 * A critical aspect of the operation of the New Deal system was the long history of incremental change and resistance to more fundamental modification. This incremental adjustment orientation was apparent in government policy, managerial practice, and union bargaining objectives.
 * Thomas A. Kochan,, and Robert B. McKersie. The transformation of American industrial relations. Cornell University Press, 1986. p. 45

 * At the end of February we were a congeries of disorderly panic-stricken mobs and factions. In the hundred days from March to June we became again an organized nation confident of our power to provide for our own security and to control our own destiny.
 * Walter Lippmann, quoted in Arthur M. Schlesinger, The coming of the New Deal, 1933–1935, Houghton Mifflin, 2003.

 * Just as he was sensitive to the broad geographic appeal of the Corps, so too was Franklin Roosevelt aware that the CCC could bring together often competing special interests under the banner of New Deal liberalism. The president consciously used the CCC's popularity among both the working and upper classes, on the local and the national levels, and on the political Left and political Right, to knit together an ideologically diverse political constituency that supported the New Deal.
 * Neil M. Maher, Nature's New Deal:The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement, Oxford University Press, 2008.

 * The New Deal began, like the Salvation Army, by promising to save humanity. It ended, again like the Salvation Army, by running flop-houses and disturbing the peace.
 * H. L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy (1949)

 * The effect of every sort of New Deal is to increase and prosper the criminal class. It teaches precisely what all professional criminals believe, to wit, that it is neither virtuous nor necessary to suffer and to do without.
 * H. L. Mencken, Minority Report (1956), p. 91

 * We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work…I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started, and an enormous debt to boot!
 * Henry Morgenthau, as quoted in Repeating the New Deal’s Old Mistakes, Foundation for Economic Education

 * You want to know what fascism is like? It is like your New Deal!
 * Benito Mussolini in Mr. New York: The Autobiography of Grover A. Whalen by Grover Aloysius Whalen, G.P. Putnam’s Sons, (1955), p. 188.

 * Fascism was really the basis for the New Deal. It was Mussolini's success in Italy, with his government-directed economy, that led the early New Dealers to say "But Mussolini keeps the trains running on time."
 * Ronald Reagan in May 17, 1976 Time Magazine.

 * Such terms as communism, socialism, Fabianism, the welfare state, Nazism, fascism, state interventionism, egalitarianism, the planned economy, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, the New Republicanism, the New Frontier are simply different labels for much the same thing.
 * Leonard E. Read, Elements of Libertarian Leadership (1962), pp 62-63

 * I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.
 * Franklin D. Roosevelt, accepting the Democratic nomination for President - July 2, 1932.

 * Plausible self-seekers and theoretical die-hards will tell you of the loss of individual liberty. Answer this question out of the facts of your own life. Have you lost any of your rights or liberty or constitutional freedom of action and choice? Turn to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution, which I have solemnly sworn to maintain and under which your freedom rests secure. I have no question in my mind what your answer will be. The record is written in the experiences of your own personal lives. Read each provision of that Bill of Rights and ask yourself whether you personally have suffered the impairment of a single jot of these great assurances. I have no question in my mind what your answer will be. The record is written in the experiences of your own personal lives.

 * A few timid people, who fear progress, will try to give you new and strange names for what we are doing. Sometimes they will call it "Fascism", sometimes "Communism", sometimes "Regimentation", sometimes "Socialism". But, in so doing, they are trying to make very complex and theoretical something that is really very simple and very practical.

 * The similarities of the economics of the New Deal to the economics of Mussolini's corporative state or Hitler's totalitarian state are both close and obvious.
 * Norman Thomas As quoted in Three New Deals: Reflections on Roosevelt's America, Mussolini's Italy, and Hitler's Germany, 1933-1939, Wolfgang Schivelbusch, (2006) Metropolitan Books, pp. 28-29.

 * Roosevelt's New Deal was not the best alternative, but it certainly was a better alternative than had been offered to the problems of our times, and it was offered with an elan, a spirit that made things go and which tended to lift up people's hearts. In retrospect, I wouldn't change many of the criticisms I then made. Yet the net result was certainly the salvation of America, and it produced peacefully, after some fashion not calculated by Roosevelt, the Welfare State and almost a revolution.
 * Norman Thomas, Interview in 1967. Quoted in Harry Fleischman, Norman Thomas; a Biography: 1884-1968: With a New Chapter - The Final Years. Harry Fleischman, Norton, 1969. Also quoted in Alden Whitman, Come to Judgment, Penguin Books, 1981.

 * I'm a professor all right. But I was always violently anti-New Deal.
 * Dan Throop Smith starting at Harvard in 1930, as cited in: Ronald Sullivan. "Dan T. Smith Dies; Tax Policy Expert," in: New York Times, June 2, 1982

 * The dichotomy that existed between the domestic elite view of the United States as being under pressure from within and without, and the international view of America as superabundant and expanding, was replicated from the 1930s onwards in the fissures that the Great Depression created in American politics. Roosevelt’s New Deal and the state-led reforms that followed were greeted by some as a necessary concession to collectivism, while others feared the administration’s initiatives and saw them as confirming the political, cultural, and moral decline that had been forced on America by ‘‘foreign’’ influences. Both directions – ‘‘liberal’’ and ‘‘conservative’’ – were anti-Communist, but the latter was considerably more skeptical to direct military intervention in the 1930s and through most of the Cold War. Both saw international affairs as an extension of their interpretation of America’s domestic role, with the conservatives accusing their opponents of being ‘‘soft on Communism’’ and the liberals claiming that the conservatives were unwilling to pay the price of ‘‘making the world safe for democracy.’’
 * Odd Arne Westad, The Global Cold War: Third World Intervention and the Making of Our Times (2012), p. 19

 * The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive "policies" and "Plans" of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word "socialism", but what else can one call it?
 * H.G. Wells, The New World Order (1939).

Quotes

 * A lot of joblessness in the black community doesn't seem to be reachable through fiscal and monetary policies. People have not been drawn into the labor market even during periods of economic recovery. Our study clearly shows that employers would rather not hire a lot of workers from the inner city. They feel people from the inner city are not job-ready, that the kids have been poorly educated, that they can't read, they can't write, they can't speak.
 * Interview with Mother Jones magazine, September/October 1996 issue..

 * Affirmative action has to be combined with a broader program of social reform that would emphasize social rights: the right to employment, the right to education, the right to good health. Over the years, black leaders have been slow to recognize the need for a very, very progressive agenda. Anytime someone has talked about putting America back to work, blacks should have said yes, but they didn't. They were so preoccupied with affirmative action that they didn't provide the kind of leadership that would help some of the other progressive folks. Only now are black leaders beginning to realize the impact of economic issues.
 * Interview with Mother Jones.

 * Liberals were intimidated by the Reagan administration and did not want to appear naive by talking about programs that called for government support. I just said, 'The hell with that. I'm out there. I'm exposed with this book.'
 * Interview with Mother Jones.

 * Racism should be viewed as an intervening variable. You give me a set of conditions and I can produce racism in any society. You give me a different set of conditions and I can reduce racism. You give me a situation where there are a sufficient number of social resources so people don't have to compete for those resources, and I will show you a society where racism is held in check. If we could create the conditions that make racism difficult, or discourage it, then there would be less stress and less need for affirmative action programs. One of those conditions would be an economic policy that would create tight labor markets over long periods of time. Now does that mean that affirmative action is here only temporarily? I think the ultimate goal should be to remove it.
 * Interview with Mother Jones.

 * The problems we see today are going to be a hell of a lot worse in 10 years if we're not willing to face up to them. These kids are just not going to be absorbed into the economy, so what are they going to be doing? Well, we know. They're going to be making life pretty miserable for a lot of people.
 * Interview with Mother Jones.

Quotes

Nobody knows — or if they do, they don’t know for long.''' I mean, you don’t want the same thing long enough for it to be What You Want From Life in capital letters. Well, maybe some people do. Maybe there's a few simple folks — or maybe a few million, I don't know — who fix their hearts, and their minds, and their everlasting souls on a thing, and keep on all their lives hoping for it. Living for it. Wanting It From Life. But these are the people who never get it.

 * "I want everything" in What I Want from Life (1934) edited by Edmund George Cousins, p. 108

 * I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water — I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.

 * No man worth his salt, no man of spirit and spine, no man for whom I could have any respect, could rejoice in the identification of Tallulah's husband. It's tough enough to be bogged down in a legend. It would be even tougher to marry one.

 * I'm as pure as the driven slush.

 * It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work — the night watchman.

Quotes about Tallulah Bankhead

 * In alphabetical order by author or source

 * The most outrageous actress on either side of the Mason-Dixon Line is indisputably Tallulah Bankhead. With a career that spanned fifty years, she appeared in fifty-one plays, eighteen movies, and made countless radio, television and nightclub appearances; but she is best known for "molding her life into a stunning theatrical role," as Notable American Women puts it. Named for Tallulah Falls in her native Alabama, her throaty rasp, golden-blond hair, ripping wit, and absolute scorn for convention conquered everybody she encountered in real life, on screen, and especially on stage where she triumphed brilliantly playing her naturally quick wit and sterling rapport with others. … Nobody, past or present, could beat the stunning beauty, with huge expressive eyes, to a punch line.
 * Seale Ballenger, in Hell's Belles: A Tribute to the Spitfires, Bad Seeds & Steel Magnolias of the New and Old South (1997), p. 54

 * Tallulah Bankhead is a wicked archangel with her flowing ash-blonde hair and carven features. Her profile is perfectly Grecian, flow of line from forehead to nose like the head on a medallion. ... She is a Medusa, very exotic, with a glorious skull, high pumice-stone cheek bones, and a broad brow, and was equally interesting sculpturally when she was plump as she now is cadaverously thin. Hers is the most easily recognizable face I know and the most luscious. ... Miss Bankhead's cheeks are like huge acid-pink peonies, her eyelashes are built out with hot liquid paint to look like burnt matches, and her sullen, discontented, rather evil rosebud of a mouth is painted the brightest scarlet and is as shiny as Tiptree's strawberry jam.
 * Cecil Beaton, in The Book of Beauty (1930), p. 41

 * That's because Tallulah's always skating on thin ice, and they want to be there when it breaks.
 * Mrs Patrick Campbell, explaining the glut of celebrities attending Bankhead's performance in Thornton Wilder's ; as quoted in "The Lyon's Den" by Jeffrey Lyons, Dayton Daily News (March 4, 1943), p. 25

 * On The Little Foxes I begged the producer, Samuel Goldwyn, to let Tallulah Bankhead play Regina because Tallulah was magnificent on the stage. He wouldn't let her. … A great admirer of hers, I wanted in no way to be influenced by her work. It was Willie's intention that I give a different interpretation of the part. I insisted that Tallulah had played it the only way it could be played. Miss Hellman's Regina was written with such definition that it could only be played one way. I had to do that part exactly the way Tallulah did it, because that's the way Lillian Hellman wrote it. But I was always sad that Tallulah couldn't record Regina from the theatre, because she was marvelous.
 * Bette Davis, on playing the role of Regina Giddens in The Little Foxes, which Tallulah had originated on Broadway, much to Tallulah's chagrin.

 * A day away from Tallulah is like a month in the country.
 * Howard Dietz, as quoted in Tallulah: My Autobiography (1952), Ch. 15 Affidavit of the Accused

 * But everybody loves Tallulah! Who'd have the heart not to!
 * Helen Hayes, as quoted in "I Dare Say : Tallulah Is Coming!" by Florence Fisher Parry in The Pittsburgh Press (5 February 1939)

 * The whole point about Tallulah was that she had no inhibitions. Now some people can take this, others can't.
 * Alfred Hitchcock, on working with her in the film Lifeboat as quoted in The Dark Side of Genius : The Life of Alfred Hitchcock (1999) by Donald Spoto, p. 269

 * Tallulah never bored anyone, and I consider that humanitarianism of a very high order indeed.
 * Anita Loos, as quoted in "'Humanitarian Tallulah' Never Bored Anyone", in St. Petersburg Times (18 December 1968), p. 2-A; also in The Ottawa Journal (28 December 1968), p. 6

 * My first memory of the great lady — for that she was, above all — was a college boy invitation I sent her to attend the Yale-Princeton game. Never a thought entered my mind that the lady would answer the telegram, but she did, and altho it was in the negative, she had a devoted fan forever. Later, I not only came to know her, but worked with her in radio and on the screen — and fan I still was, to the end.
 * Vincent Price, in "Tallulah: A 'Work of Art'" in The Chicago Tribune (13 April 1969)

 * She was magnificent. There ain't nobody like her. In her heyday nobody had a bigger ball. She had that magnificent beauty that is ugly in a funny way. Judith Anderson and Laurette Taylor had it too. They came off being the most beautiful women in the world through an illumination of their own personality. I've seen Tallulah look absolutely dreadful, then take a shot of ammonia and Coca-Cola and turn into a beauty.
 * Vincent Price, as quoted in Vincent Price : A Daughter's Biography (2011) by Victoria Price.

She has forgiven me for it, but I am not yet ready to forgive myself.
 * Tallulah has never hesitated to speak what she feels to be the truth, no matter about the possible hurt to herself, because when you speak the truth it is you, the speaker, who is most likely to be hurt. Tallulah is the strongest of all the hurt people I've ever known in my life. And of hurt people I've known a remarkable number, Including some I have hurt myself, and one of them is Tallulah.
 * Tennessee Williams, in "T. Williams View of T. Bankhead", in New Selected Essays: Where I Live (2009), edited by John S. Bak, p. 135

 * I heard someone calling out "Five minutes, Miss Bankhead." There was a response to the call, and this response was delivered in a voice that, having once heard, I would never stop hearing inside my head as I wrote lines for ladies that somehow resulted from the fantastic crossbreeding of a moth and a tiger. Here was the voice for which I had written the part of Myra Torrance in Battle of Angels, and written it for that voice without ever having heard it except in films. I went backstage after the play that night and she received me in her dressing room with that graciousness that has nothing to do with her Southern origin and genteel breeding but with her instinctive kindness to a person in whom she senses a vulnerability that is kin to her own. I suppose I simply mean that she saw or sensed immediately that I was meeting, for the first time in my life, a great star, and that I was more than just properly awed. I was virtually dumb-struck.
 * Tennessee Williams, in "T. Williams View of T. Bankhead", in New Selected Essays: Where I Live (2009), edited by John S. Bak, p. 135
 * Williams' play Battle of Angels (1940) was later rewritten as Orpheus Descending (1957).

 * By Gunning-King, 24 October 1906, Volume 131, page 297.
 * Quoted by Nigel Rees in his book Why Do We Say ...?. This is the origin of the saying Sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits.  Used by Lucy Maud Montgomery in Anne of the Island.  And perhaps as Sometimes I just sits as an inscription on a china figurine of a boy on a lavatory.

 * Nick Brophy: I'm not bullshittin' ya. Got stinkin' shit-faced on the bus, Louise left me, and that son of a bitch over there keeps playin' me, when he knows I'm shit-faced.
 * Reggie Dunlop: Geez, I'm really sorry.
 * Nick Brophy: Anybody throws me against the boards, I'm gonna piss all over myself.

 * Reggie Dunlop: What are you guys doing?
 * Steve Hanson: Puttin' on the foil!
 * Jeff Hanson: Every game!
 * Jack Hanson: Yeah, you want some?

 * [Following a pre-game brawl instigated by the Hanson brothers, during the National Anthem]
 * Referee: I got my eye on the three of you. You pull one thing, you're out of this game. I run a clean game here. I have any trouble here, I'll suspend you–
 * Steve Hanson: I'M LISTENING TO THE FUCKING SONG!

 * [After the Chiefs win on a forfeit after Reggie baited the opposing goalie into a fight, when the opponent had no other goalies available]
 * Mo Wanchuk: Hey, Reg! Reg! What did you say to him?
 * Reggie Dunlop: I told him his wife was a dyke.
 * Mo Wanchuk: NO!
 * Reggie Dunlop: Yeah!
 * Mo Wanchuk: Fuuuck!
 * Jim Mahern: Jesus Christ, no wonder he flipped his lid.
 * Johnny Upton: Anybody called my old lady a dyke, I'd go fucking bananas!
 * Reggie Dunlop: His wife is a dyke!

 * [Chiefs fashion show]
 * Jim Ahern: I look like some cock-sucking faggot in this thing.
 * Joe McGrath: Have you seen Reg or Braden?
 * Jim Ahern: Joe, I don't care man. Enough is enough. Nowhere in my contract does it say I gotta make a fool out of myself. Am I right?
 * [McGrath walks toward Upton]
 * Joe McGrath: Have you seen Dunlop or Braden–
 * Johnny Upton: I'm gonna flash 'em, Joe!
 * Joe McGrath: Aw, now, son...
 * Johnny Upton: I'm gonna walk down that stinkin' aisle, I'm gonna open up this faggot bathrobe and wiggle my dick at 'em!
 * Joe McGrath: You will not.
 * Johhny Upton: Yes I am, Joe, and you know why? Because I want you to have a heart attack and die so that we never have to do this shit again. You and your fucking fashion shows.
 * Joe McGrath: It's good publicity! You boys just haven't been bringing in the crowds like you used to.
 * Johnny Upton: I'm gonna wiggle it at 'em, you cheap bastard. I'm telling you, ya better be prepared, because when I yank it out, everybody in that audience with the exception of my wife is gonna be runnin' for the exits!
 * [Upton storms out]
 * Announcer: Ensemble #8, as we watch Chiefs defenseman, Johnny Upton, modelling #8...
 * Joe McGrath: [on the phone] Joe McGrath, just checking on Dunlop–
 * [The audience can be heard screaming at Upton, who apparently flashed the crowd; McGrath slowly hangs the phone up]

 *  Reggie Dunlop: You guys triplets or something?
 * Jack Hanson: Nah, I am in the middle... Steve's 20 and Jeff's 18.
 *  Reggie Dunlop: Where ya from?
 * Jack Hanson: Iron League.
 *  Reggie Dunlop: The Iron League, huh? Lotta fights?
 * Jack Hanson: Nah... Hey I want a a soda.
 *  Reggie Dunlop: We paid for you here for a week then you gotta find a room of your own.
 * Jack Hanson: Okay, coach. Gimme a grape or an orange and none of that stinkin' root beer.

 * [after meeting the Hansons]
 * Reggie Dunlop: You cheap son of a bitch. Are you crazy? Those guys are retards!
 * McGrath: I got a good deal on those boys. Scout said they showed a lot of promise.
 * Reggie Dunlop: They brought their fuckin' toys with 'em!
 * McGrath: I'd rather have them playing with their toys than playing with themselves.
 * Reggie Dunlop: They're too dumb to play with themselves! Boy, every piece of garbage that comes into the league, you gotta buy it.
 * McGrath: Reg... Reg, that reminds me, I was coaching in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who's a terrible masturbator. Couldn't control himself.  He would get deliberate penalities so he could get all by himself in the penalty box, and damned if he wouldn't, you know... [pantomimes masturbation]
 * Reggie Dunlop: [disgusted] Aw, Jesus, Joe...
 * McGrath: Now what was that again...? [continues masturbating gestures]

 * Reggie Dunlop: She underlines the fuck scenes for ya? Jesus, if she underlines the fuck scenes for ya, she must worship the ground you walk on.
 * Ned Braden: They teach you how to underline in college.
 * Reggie Dunlop: Not the fuck scenes, they don't. Braden, you gotta learn to put out more, you know what I mean?

 * Reggie Dunlop: You know, your son looks like a fag to me. You better get married again, 'cause he's gonna wind up with somebody's cock in his mouth before you can say "Jack Robinson".
 * Anita McCambridge: How dare you. How DARE you!

 * Johnny Upton: They're horrible looking.
 * Reggie Dunlop: Don't look at me; it was McGrath's doing, not mine.
 * Johnny Upton: What the old man trade for these assholes, a used puck bag? Watch Braden, he's gonna do something.
 * Ned Braden: Hi. Are you guys brothers?
 * Johnny Upton: Are you guys brothers... [laughs] What a life!

 * Tim McCracken: Dunlop, you suck cock.
 * Reggie Dunlop: All I can get.

 * Joe McGrath: You can't put a bounty on a man's head.
 * Reggie Dunlop:  I just did.

 * Reggie Dunlop: Let 'em know you're there!  Get that stick in their side, let 'em know you're there!  Put some lumber in their teeth, let 'em know you're there!
 * Ned Braden: [sarcastically] Bleed all over 'em, let 'em know you're there.

 * Reggie Dunlop: Lard ass Barkley Donaldson. You all saw what happened. Stick down, gloves off, he challenged the Chiefs. Called us names, CALLED US NAMES! But Dave was there.
 * The Hansons: [in unison] Dave's a killer!
 * Johnny Upton: Dave's a mess...
 * Reggie Dunlop: But Dave's out. Who's gonna take his place?
 * Ned Braden: Is the answer Jesus?
 * Reggie Dunlop: [glares at Braden] Okay, guys. [looks directly to the Hansons] Show us what you got!

 * [The Chiefs play normal, less raucous hockey in the championship game, only to get hammered in the first period ]
 *  Joe McGrath: They've come tonight.. to scout the Chiefs, the toughest team in the Federal League. Not this... bunch of... pussies. [stomps out of locker room]

Talk:A. E. Housman

name
is there any reason for the space between Housman's initials in the title of this article? I have only seen his name written 'A.E. Housman' with no space between the initals.--168.122.219.157 09:19, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

The Great Paradox
What exactly is this? A Google search throws a range of stuff including a lot of christian sites. At least one of these suggests that it is the paradox (or contradiction) between divine sovereignty and human free will. If that is a standard usage then it might be worth a short Wikipedia article on its own.

 * DC was my first webcomic attempt. Not too shabby, but the dialogue format is definitely useful in general, and is good policy. Must check how DC can deal with dialogue.
 * Comics usually have more strips/issues than can fit into a classic TOC easily.

Random stuff
All quotations but 1 are sorted, all quotations follow following format:

 * [url-to-strip Month Day, Year "Strip Title"]
 * Character1: Lalalla
 * Character2: Lolololo

Sections are by year, subsections are by month. Inside each month, quotations are separated using a half-width rule:

In the case there are two quotations from the same strip, the second time the quotation header should again have the same text, but without a link:

 * [url-to-strip Month Day, Year "Strip Title"]
 * Character1: Lalalla
 * Character2: Lolololo

Talk:Anti-Polonism

Zeit quote
I'm going to remove the Zeit-quote since it is not related to "anti-polonism". Whoever filed it under this subject hasn't quite understood the article. It is an essay about a trip to Poland, playing with and subtly mocking Polish clichés. Besides, it could easily be a copyright issue but I'm not an expert on this.

 * "I have issued the command — and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by firing squad — that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly I have placed my Totenkopf Units in readiness — for the present only in the East — with orders to them to send to death, mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish race and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" — Adolf Hitler.

 * "All Poles will disappear from the world.... It is essential that the great German people should consider it their major task to destroy all Poles."  — Heinrich Himmler.

 * "[Poles are] more animals than human beings." — Joseph Goebbels, Nazi German propaganda minister.

 * "Hammer the Poles until they despair of living. [...] I feel sorry for their situation, but if we want to exist we have no choice but to exterminate them. Wolves are only what God made them, but we shoot them all the same when we can get at them." — Otto von Bismarck.

 * "It must become clear to everybody in Germany, even to the last milkmaid, that Polishness is equal to sub-humanity. Poles, Jews and Gypsies are on the same inferior level. This must be clearly outlined [...] until every citizen of Germany has it encoded in his subconsciousness that every Pole, whether a farm worker or intellectual, should be treated like vermin". — A directive No. 1306 by Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda from October 24th 1939.

 * "In the basement here there's an incinerator for disposing of corpses. It's kept now for the exclusive use of the Gestapo. The Poles shot by them are brought here at night and incinerated. If only the whole of Polish society could be eliminated in this way! The Polish people must be exterminated, otherwise there'll be no peace here in the East." - Hermann Voss

 * "In Prague, big red posters were put up on which one could read that seven Czechs had been shot today. I said to myself, 'If I had to put up a poster for every seven Poles shot, the forests of Poland would not be sufficient to manufacture the paper." — Hans Frank

 * "Liquidate all Polish traces. Destroy all walls in the Catholic Church and other Polish prayer houses. Destroy orchards and trees in the courtyards so that there will be no trace that someone lived there. Pay attention to the fact that when something remains that is Polish, then the Poles will have pretensions to our land." — An OUN order from early 1944.

 * "[Poland is] an historic failure, which has won her freedom not by her own exertions, but by the blood of others." — David Lloyd George.

 * "[Poles] suck [anti-Semitism] with their mothers' milk. This is something that is deeply imbued in their tradition, their mentality. Like their loathing of Russia. The two things are not connected, of course. But that, too, is something very deep, like their hatred of Am Yisrael. Today, though, there are elements [in Poland] that are cleansed of this anti-Semitism." — Yitzhak Shamir.

 * Poland: "the monstrous bastard of the Treaty of Versailles." — Vyacheslav Molotov.

 * "A hen is not a bird, Poland is not abroad." — 18th century Russian saying, justifying the Partitions of Poland. In original Russian this sentence rhymes.

 * "Driving through Brandenburg, one can delight in direction signs showing, instead of Stettin, strange words that look as if some software had replaced the German name with many c's and z's to make it look Polish: something like Szczetzctczin. [...] The obsession to call all places which once were German - that is mostly places in Poland and the Czech Republic - exclusively by their Polish or Czech names, and to use the former German name, if at all, only in brackets, is a wonderful spawn of the German guilty conscience." — Writer Florian Illies in his best-selling book.

The Manchurian Candidate (1962 film)

The Manchurian Candidate is a 1962 film about a Korean War hero who returns to America after having been unwittingly brainwashed to carry out an assassination.
 * Directed by John Frankenheimer. Written by Richard Condon, George Axelrod and John Frankenheimer.

If you come in five minutes after this picture begins, you won't know what it's all about! taglines

Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw

 * You know how much the guys in the outfit hated me. Well, not as much as I hated them, of course.
 * Twelve days of Christmas! One day of Christmas is loathsome enough!
 * My mother, Ben, is a terrible woman. A terrible, terrible woman... You know, Ben, it's a terrible thing to hate your mother. But I didn't always hate her. When I was a child, I only kind of disliked her. But after what she did to Jocie and me, that's when I began to hate her... Jocie Jordan - Senator Jordan's daughter... Thomas Jordan's daughter and Johnny Iselin's step-son... Years later, I realized, Ben, that I am not very loveable... Some people are loveable and some people are not loveable. I am not loveable. Oh, but I was very loveable with Jocie. Ben, you can't believe how loveable I was.
 * You just cannot believe, Ben, how loveable the whole damn thing was. All summer long, we were together. I was loveable, Jocie was loveable, the Senator was loveable, the days were loveable, the nights were loveable, and everybody was loveable - except, of course, my mother.
 * [Of his mother, Mrs. Iselin] She won, of course. She always does. I could never beat her. I still can't... I'm not loveable. But I loved her. I did love her. I do love her.
 * We flew to Maryland last night. We got married. We just got back...There we were, the Queen of Diamonds and me looking like, I don't know, like Gaucho Marx... Ben, I just made a joke. Not a very good joke, I admit, but a joke. Ben, in all the years that you've known me, have you ever heard me make a joke? Well, I just made one. Gaucho Marx! Me! Ha! Big day! Mark that down in your book. Raymond Shaw got married and he made a joke. Gaucho Marx.
 * Have you noticed that the human race is divided into two distinct, irreconciliable groups? Those who walk into rooms and automatically turn television sets on, and those who walk into rooms and automatically turn them off. You know, the problem is, they usually marry each other which naturally causes a great deal of...
 * [Of Sen. Iselin] I'm gonna beat that vile, slandering, son-of-a-numbskull to a bloody pulp.
 * [To Ben, after killing his mother and Senator Iselin] You couldn't have stopped them, the army couldn't have stopped them. So I had to.

Major Bennett "Ben" Marco

 * Intelligence officer. Stupidity officer is more like it. Pentagon wants to open a Stupidity Division, they know who they can get to lead it.
 * [Repeated line] Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
 * [Hypnotized] I will make my report on the patrol... I will recommend urgently that Raymond Shaw be posted to the Medal of Honor. He saved our lives and took out a complete company of Chinese infantry.
 * I tell ya, there's something phony going on. There's something phony about me, about Raymond Shaw, about the whole Medal of Honor business... I said: 'Raymond Shaw is the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life,' and even now I feel that way - this minute. And yet, somewhere in the back of my mind, something tells me it's not true. It's just not true. It isn't as if Raymond's hard to like. He's impossible to like. In fact, he's probably one of the most repulsive human beings I've ever known in my whole - all of my life.
 * [Shouting, to Chunjin, as they fight] What was Raymond doing with his hands?... How did the old ladies turn into Russians?... What were you doing there?
 * [To Jocelyn Jordan] Raymond is sick, Mrs. Shaw, in a kind of a special way. He doesn't even realize it himself.
 * Raymond Shaw shot and killed his wife early this morning... It wasn't Raymond that really did it. In a way, it was me.
 * Remember, Raymond, the wires have been pulled. They can't touch you anymore. You're free.
 * [To Colonel Milt] I tell ya, there's a bomb here, a time bomb that's set waiting to go off.
 * I can see that Chinese cat standin' there smiling like Fu Manchu.
 * [Last lines] Poor Raymond. Poor friendless, friendless Raymond. He was wearing his medal when he died. You should read some of the citations sometime. Just read them. [Reading from U.S. Army book of Medal of Honor citations] Taken, eight prisoners, killing four enemy in the process while one leg and one arm was shattered and he could only crawl because the other leg had been blown off - Edwards. Wounded five times, dragged himself across the direct fire of three enemy machine guns to pull two of his wounded men to safety amid sixty-nine dead and two hundred and three casualties - Holderman. [Puts book down] Made to commit acts too unspeakable to be cited here by an enemy who had captured his mind and his soul, he freed himself at last and in the end, heroically and unhesitatingly gave his life to save his country. Raymond Shaw... Hell... Hell. [Thunder claps].

Narrator

 * This nation jealously guards its highest award for valor - the Congressional Medal of Honor. In the Korean War, with five million, seven hundred and twenty thousand personnel engaged, only seventy-seven men were so honored. One of these seventy-seven men was Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw. Raymond Shaw was returned from combat and flown directly to Washington to be decorated personally by the President of the United States. This is why his presence, or the presence of any Medal of Honor winner is sufficient to bring generals to their feet saluting.
 * On the afternoon of his arrival in Washington, Raymond Shaw was decorated at the White House by the President of the United States. His citation attested to by his commanding officer, Captain Bennett Marco, and the nine surviving members of his patrol, read in part: 'Displaying valor above and beyond the call of duty did single-handedly save the lives of nine members of his patrol, capturing an enemy machine gun nest and taking out in the process a full company of enemy infantry. He then proceeded to lead his patrol which had been listed as missing in action for three days back through the enemy lines to safety.'
 * The war in Korea was over. Captain, now Major Bennett Marco had been reassigned to Army Intelligence in Washington. It was, by and large, a pleasant assignment, except for one thing. Night after night, the Major was plagued by the same re-occurring nightmare.

Doctor Yen Lo

 * Allow me to introduce our American visitors. I must ask you to forgive their somewhat lackadaisical manners, but I have conditioned them - or brain-washed them, which I understand is the new American word. They believe that they are waiting out a storm in the lobby of a small hotel in New Jersey where a meeting of the ladies' garden club is in progress.
 * Ah, yes. Yak dung...tastes good. Like a cigarette should.
 * I am sure you've all heard the old wives' tale that no hypnotized subject may be forced to do that which is repellant to his moral nature, whatever that may be. Nonsense, of course.
 * [To Raymond] Do you realize, Comrade, the implications of the weapon that has been placed at your disposal?... A normally-conditioned American, who has been trained to kill and then to have no memory of having killed. Without memory of his deed, he cannot possibly feel guilt. Nobody, of course, has any reason to fear being caught. Having been relieved of those uniquely American symptoms, guilt and fear, he cannot possibly give himself away. Ah, now Raymond will remain an outwardly-normal, productive, sober, and respected member of the community. And I should say, if properly used, entirely police-proof.
 * Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?
 * His brain has not only been washed, as they say, it's been dry-cleaned.
 * The Queen of Diamonds is reminiscent in many ways of Raymond's dearly loved and hated mother and is the second key to clear the mechanism for any other assignment.

Mrs. Iselin

 * [repeated line, to Raymond] Why don't you pass the time with a game of solitaire?
 * Raymond, if we were at war, and you were suddenly to become infatuated with the daughter of a Russian agent, wouldn't you expect me to come to you and object, and beg you to stop the entire thing before it was too late? Well we are at war. It's a Cold War, but it will get worse and worse until every man, woman, and child in this country will have to stand up and be counted, to say whether they are on the side of right and freedom or on the side of the Thomas Jordans of this country. I will go with you to Washington, tomorrow if you like, and I will show you documented proof that this man stands for evil, that he is evil, and that his whole life is devoted to undermining everything that you and I and Johnny, and every freedom-minded American—
 * [To her husband, Sen. Iselin] It has occurred to me that Tom Jordan's daughter Jocelyn... so I might have been a little hasty. Anyway, times change. I now think she would make Raymond an excellent wife. She's been living in Paris for the past two years. I have word she'll be coming home soon and when she does, I think we should give a little party.
 * [To Sen. Iselin] I keep telling you not to think. You're very, very good at a great many things, but thinking, hon', just simply isn't one of them. You just keep shouting "Point of Order, Point of Order" into the television cameras and I will handle the rest.
 * [To Raymond] It's been decided that you will be dressed as a priest to get away in the pandemonium afterwards. Chunjin will give you a two-piece Soviet Army's sniper's rifle that fits nicely into a special bag. There's a spotlight booth that won't be in use. It's up under the roof on the 8th Avenue side of the Garden. You will have absolutely clear, protected shooting. You are to shoot the Presidential nominee through the head. And Johnny will rise gallantly to his feet and lift Ben Arthur's body in his arms, stand in front of the microphones and begin to speak. The speech is short, but it's the most rousing speech I've ever read. It's been worked on here and in Russia on and off for over eight years. I shall force someone to take the body away from him. And Johnny will leave those microphones and those cameras with blood all over him, fighting off anyone who tries to help him, defending America even if it means his own death, rallying a nation of television-viewers into hysteria to sweep us up into the White House with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy. Now this is very important. I want the nominee to be dead about two minutes after he begins his acceptance speech, depending on his reading time under pressure. You are to hit him right at the point that he finishes the phrase, "nor would I ask of any fellow American in defense of his freedom that which I would not gladly give myself - my life before my liberty." Is that absolutely clear?
 * I know you will never entirely comprehend this, Raymond, but you must believe I did not know it would be you. I served them. I fought for them. I'm on the point of winning for them the greatest foothold they would ever have in this country. And they paid me back by taking your soul away from you. I told them to build me an assassin. I wanted a killer from a world filled with killers and they chose you because they thought it would bind me closer to them. [She places the sides of his face in her outstretched hands.] But now, we have come almost to the end. One last step. And then when I take power, they will be pulled down and ground into dirt for what they did to you. And what they did in so contemptuously under-estimating me.

Senator John Yerkes Iselin

 * I have here a list of the names of 207 persons who are known by the Secretary of Defense as being members of the Communist Party... I demand an answer, Mr. Secretary. There will be no covering up, sir, no covering up. You are not going to get your hands on this list. And I deeply regret having to say...
 * [To party guests, after cutting into a serving of caviar styled like the American flag] It's all right, it's Polish caviar!

Joycelyn "Jocie" Jordan

 * [Of Raymond] He's tied up inside in a thousand knots. I know that but... You've got to believe me and trust me. I can make him well.

 * Psychiatrist: Human fish, swimming at the bottom of the great ocean of atmosphere, develop psychic injuries as they collide with one another. Most mortal of all are those gotten from the parent fish.
 * Secretary of Defense: Since no great naval power menaces the free world today, the Navy's overwhelming preponderance of surface ships seems to be superfluous, hence the cuts in budget.
 * Bartender: [overheard by Raymond, who had just primed himself to receive a command by dealing the Queen of Diamonds] Why don't you go and take yourself a cab and go up to Central Park and go jump in the lake?
 * Rosie: [To Ben] ...You were a pretty solid type yourself, according to Washington - with whom they had apparently checked. So I figured if they were willing to go to all the trouble to get a comment on you out of George Washington, why - you must be somebody very important indeed. And I must say it was rather sweet of the General with you only a Major. I didn't even know you knew him. If they were the tiniest bit puzzled about you, they could have asked me. Oh yes, indeed, my darling Ben. They could have asked me and I would have told them. [They kiss]
 * Senator Thomas Jordan: [To Raymond] I once found it necessary to sue your mother for defamation of character and slander... One of your mother's more endearing traits is her tendency to refer to anyone who disagrees with her about anything as a Communist.
 * Senator Thomas Jordan: [To Mrs. Iselin] I despise John Iselin and everything that Iselin-ism has come to stand for. I think if John Iselin were a paid Soviet agent, he could not do more to harm this country than he's doing now.
 * TV News Broadcast: ...Jocelyn Jordan, daughter of Senator Thomas Jordan and Korean war hero Raymond Shaw, step-son of Senator John Iselin. It appears, however, that this Montague-Capulet note would have little effect on the feud now raging between the two party leaders. From his campaign headquarters this morning, Senator Iselin stepped up his charges against the leader of the group attempting to block his nomination.

Dialogue

 * Mrs. Whittaker: Tell me Raymond, have you ever killed anyone?
 * Raymond: No, ma'am.
 * Mrs. Whittaker: Not even in combat?
 * Raymond: In combat? Yes, ma'am, I think so.
 * Yen Lo: Of course you have, Raymond. Raymond has been a crack shot since childhood -
 * Mrs. Whittaker: A marvelous outlet for his aggressions.

 * Rosie: Maryland's a beautiful state.
 * Ben: [Looking away] This is Delaware.
 * Rosie: I know. I was one of the original Chinese workmen who laid the track on this stretch. But nonetheless, Maryland is a beautiful state. So is Ohio, for that matter. [Lights her own cigarette.]
 * Ben: I guess so. Columbus is a tremendous football town. You in the railroad business?
 * Rosie: Not anymore. However, if you will permit me to point out, when you ask that question you really should say, 'Are you in the railroad line?' Where's your home?
 * Ben: I'm in the Army. I'm a major. I've been in the Army most of my life. We move a good deal. I was born in New Hampshire.
 * Rosie: I went to a girls' camp once on Lake Francis.
 * Ben: That's pretty far north.
 * Rosie: Yeah.
 * Ben: What's your name?
 * Rosie: Eugenie.
 * Ben: [Finally looks at her] Pardon?
 * Rosie: No kidding, I really mean it. Crazy French pronunciation and all.
 * Ben: [Looks away] It's pretty.
 * Rosie: Well, thank you.
 * Ben: I guess your friends call you Jenny.
 * Rosie: Not yet they haven't, for which I am deeply grateful. But you may call me Jenny.
 * Ben: What do your friends call you?
 * Rosie: Rosie.
 * Ben: [Looks at her] Why?
 * Rosie: My full name is Eugenie Rose. (He looks away) Of the two names, I've always favored Rosie because it smells of brown soap and beer. Eugenie is somehow more fragile.
 * Ben: Still, when I asked you what your name was, you said it was Eugenie.
 * Rosie: It's quite possible I was feeling more or less fragile at that instant.
 * Ben: I could never figure out what that phrase meant: more or less. (He looks at her) You Arabic?
 * Rosie: No.
 * Ben: [Reaches to shake her hand] My name is Ben, really Bennett. Named after Arnold Bennett.
 * Rosie: The writer?
 * Ben: No, a lieutenant colonel who was my father's commanding officer at the time.
 * Rosie: What's your last name?
 * Ben: Marco.
 * Rosie: Major Marco. Are you Arabic?
 * Ben: No, no.
 * Rosie: Let me put it another way. Are you married?
 * Ben: No. You?
 * Rosie: No.
 * Ben: What's your last name?
 * Rosie: Chaney. I'm a production assistant for a man named Justin, who had two hits last season. I live on 54th Street, a few doors from the modern museum of art, of which I'm a tea-privileges member, no cream. I live at 53 West 54th Street, Apartment 3B. Can you remember that?
 * Ben: Yes.
 * Rosie: ELdorado 5-9970. Can you remember that?
 * Ben: Yes.
 * Rosie: Are you stationed in New York? Or is stationed the right word?
 * Ben: I'm not exactly stationed in New York. I was stationed in Washington, but I got sick, and now I'm on leave, and I'm going to spend it in New York.
 * Rosie: ELdorado 5-9970.
 * Ben: I'm gonna look up an old friend of mine who's a newspaper man. We were in Korea together.

 * Sen. Iselin: I mean, the way you keep changing the figures on me all the time. It makes me look like some kind of a nut, like an idiot.
 * Mrs. Iselin: Well, you're going to look like an even bigger idiot if you don't get in there and do exactly what you're told...Who are they writing about all over this country and what are they saying? Are they saying: "Are there any Communists in the Defense Department?" No, of course not, they're saying: "How many Communists are there in the Defense Department?" So just stop talking like an expert all of a sudden and get out there and say what you're supposed to say.

 * Mrs. Iselin: Would it really make it easier for you if we settled on just one number?
 * Sen. Iselin: Yeah. Just one, real, simple number that'd be easy for me to remember.
 * [Mrs. Iselin watches Sen. Iselin pour Heinz Tomato Ketchup (with its "57 Varieties" slogan on its label) onto his dinner plate]
 * [Cut to Senate chamber]
 * Sen. Iselin: There are exactly 57 card-carrying members of the Communist Party in the Department of Defense at this time!

 * [At Ben's request, Raymond is playing solitaire - with a deck of 52 Queens of Diamonds's]
 * Ben: All right, let's start unlocking a few doors. Let's begin with the patrol. You didn't save our lives and take out an enemy company or anything like that, did you Raymond, did you?
 * Raymond: No.
 * Ben: What happened?
 * Raymond: The patrol was taken by a Russian Airborne Unit and flown by helicopter across the Manchurian border to a place called Tomwa. We were worked on for three days by a team of specialists from the Pavlov Institute in Moscow. They developed a technique for descent into the unconscious mind, part light-induced, part drug—
 * Ben: Never mind all that. Not now. Tell me what else happened at Tomwa.
 * Raymond: We were drilled for three days. We were made to memorize the details of the imaginary action... And I strangled Ed Mavole and shot Bobby Lembeck.
 * Ben: One red Queen works pretty good. Let's see what we get with two of 'em. Keep playing.
 * Raymond: Then I killed Mr. Gaines. It was just a test. It didn't matter who I killed. They picked him to see if all the linkages still worked before they turned me over to my American operator. That business about jumping in the lake - it really did happen. It was an accident. Something somebody said in the bar accidentally triggered it.
 * Ben: Keep playing!
 * Raymond: Then I killed Senator Jordan and after that...
 * Ben: You are to forget everything that happened at the Senator's house. Do you understand, Raymond? You'll only remember it when I tell you so. You are to forget about it. Do you understand?
 * Raymond: Yes sir.
 * Ben: Now, Raymond. Now the big one. Why, why is all of this being done? What have they built you to do?
 * Raymond: I don't know. I don't think anybody really knows except Berezovo in Moscow and my American operator here. But whatever it is, it's supposed to happen soon, right at the convention. Maybe, [pause], I don't know. They can make me do anything, Ben, can't they? Anything.
 * Ben: We'll see, kid, we'll see what they can do and we'll see what we can do. So the red Queen is our baby. Well, take a look at this, kid... and while you're looking, listen. This is me, Marco talking. Fifty-two red Queens and me are telling you - you know what we're telling you? - it's over. The links, the beautifully-conditioned links are smashed. They're smashed as of now because we say so, because we say they ought to be smashed. We're bustin' up the joint, we're tearin' out all the wires, we're bustin' it up so good all the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men will never put ol' Raymond back together again. You don't work anymore. That's an order. Anybody invites you to a game of solitaire - you tell 'em: "Sorry, buster, the ball-game is over!"

 * General: Congratulations, son. How do you feel?
 * Raymond: Like Captain Idiot in Astounding Science comics.

 * Chairlady: You will notice that I have told them they may smoke. I've allowed my people to have a little fun in the selection of bizarre tobacco substitutes... Are you enjoying your cigarette, Ed?
 * Ed Movole: Yes ma'am.
 * Dr. Yen Lo: Yak dung!... hope tastes good - like a cigarette should!

 * Jocie: Darling.
 * [Pause]
 * Raymond: What?
 * Jocie: Nothing, Just... Darling.

 * Col. Milt: [Gesturing towards a pile of books] You read them all?
 * Ben: Yeah, they also make great insulation against an enemy attack! But the, uh, truth of the matter is that I'm just interested, you know, in, uh, Principles of Modern Banking and, History of Piracy. [Picking up books] Paintings of Orozco. Modern French Theater. The... Jurisprudential Factor of Mafia Administration. Diseases of Horses and novels of Joyce Cary and... Ethnic Choices of the Arabs. Things like that.

 * Dr. Yen Lo: Attractive plant you have here.
 * Zilkov: Thank you, doctor. It's actually a rest home for wealthy alcoholics. We were able to purchase it three years ago. Except for this floor and the floor above it, which is sealed off for security purposes, the rest functions quite normally. In fact it's one of the few Soviet operations in America that actually showed a profit at the end of the last fiscal year.
 * Dr. Yen Lo: Profit? Fiscal year? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Beware, my dear Zilkov, fires of capitalism are highly infectious. Soon you'll be lending money out at interest. [Chuckles] You must try, Comrade Zilkov, to cultivate a sense of humor. There's nothing like a good laugh now and then to lighten the burdens of the day. [To Raymond] Tell me, Raymond, do you remember murdering Mavole and Lembeck?

"Others" section is not organized according to either variant in GtL ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is. KSava 19:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Concerning Clean-up
The graduation bit with Daria is from the U.S. History episode, so if someone decides to make it have a proper format keep this in mind. Other people can also post here what episode each quote is from. KSava 19:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Whoaa, you're getting this all mixed up, please have headlines that show which episode these quotes come from.

cleanup tag
I added the cleanup tag, as the page needs a couple of things: half-width dividers between quotes and wiki character links the first time in each episode a character speaks. ~ UDScott 19:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Merge Cornholio here
As much as I love Cornholio, it makes sense to merge those quotes into the main Beavis & Butthead article. However, I think it'd be better to keep the long list of Cornholio quotes together. Maybe just add a "Cornholio" heading to the end of the article and merge the list in there?

Paul Miller

Merge???? Surely it needs to be split? Maybe rearranged...but the pages are definately too long at the moment.

Boxing Helena
"That movie where the dude had a chick in the basement and he wanted to cut her skin off" Isn't it more likely that they're talking about The Silence Of the Lambs?

The fat dude on Seinfeld
There are two "fat dudes" on Seinfeld - George and Newman. I am not sure which one Beavis is referring to, but given his repeated fat jokes, probably Newman. - 220.237.167.106 08:14, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Limits on quotations
Each episode runs 5–11 minutes (3–6 minutes without music videos). According to Limits on quotations, there should be at most one quote per episode. There should not be two sections for each episode, with one for "dialogue" and one for "music video segments". ~ Ningauble 12:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

442 kb

 * What's happening with this page? It's huge; more than ten times the recommended limit (32kb).
 * Is it being split? Soph 21:27, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Perhaps a disambiguation page leading to seperate sections would be better, like I've done with [One Tree Hill]. My suggestion would be at least four pages, if not more for the 'music video segments':
 * Pilots & Seasons 1-7
 * Specials
 * Music Video Segments
 * Movie and game

Removing Quotes

 * Seeing as there has been no reply regarding this page, and that the number of quotes far exceeds the limit on quotations (and therefore probably violates copyright) I am going to start reducing this page by removing poorer, unquoteworthy quotes. Although the limit per episode should be one (as it is under thirty minutes run-time) I will keep more if necessary.
 * I will be doing this shortly: as soon as I've finished with the Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy page.
 * Once this is done I will cleanup and split if necessary.
 * Please don't undo the changes, and I just want to say that trying to edit this page crashed my computer: it's twelve times bigger than recommended.
 * Sounds like somebody needs a new computer.

Could we maybe get a subpage or something for the music videos?
Please? --69.136.96.78 01:25, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Very basic. If you know how to clean it up perhaps, feel free to do so.--SamuraiMaster (talk) 09:10, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Splitting into subpages
I began the process of splitting the seasons off into subpages. But it's late/early, and I need rest. Obviously, this is a work in progress. allixpeeke (talk) 09:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Category:Television series on DVD
On 21 June 2015, Stephanie.molnar edited the page in good faith to add it to the category Television series on DVD. Considering that there are so many episodes that have never been released on DVD, I began wondering whether this edit should stay. The category itself specifically says, "To be more exact, this category is for shows that have had at least one entire season released, not shows that have only had a collection of a small number of episodes released."

Thus far, the following episodes have not been released on any of the Mike Judge collection DVD volume: {| class="wikitable" border="1" style="font-size:smaller;"

Season Seven
That said, the entirety of season eight was released as Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-head: Volume 4. So, there is technically "at least one entire season released" on DVD. As such, it currently seems to merit inclusion in the above-mentioned category.
 * Butt, Butt, Hike
 * Evolution Sucks
 * Cyber-Butt
 * Nothing Happening
 * Shortcuts
 * The Future of Beavis and Butt-head
 * Our Founding Losers

To leave a message

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 Constanz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Constanz~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 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
