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 Vincentscott. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vincentscott~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 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Changes to policy page reverted
I have reverted your use of the policy page Templates/People to create an article for William G. Young. The correct way to create such an article is either to use the link in the previous sentence to edit the page and add your material, or start with the "Add new person" input box (found at Help:Starting a new page) and follow the instructions there. (Please also note that Wikiquote collects succinct quotes, usually no more a few sentences per quote, and not long excerpts of entire speeches or writings.)

I've seen other folks make the mistake of editing this policy page directly, and do not understand what makes them take this approach. Could you help me help others by explaining how you went about creating this article and wound up editing a policy page instead? If there is a confusing set of instructions or advice somewhere on Wikiquote, I might be able to fix the problem. Thank you for your assistance. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Richard Behar

Richard Behar is an American investigative journalist. Since 2012, he has been the Contributing Editor of Investigations for Forbes magazine. From 1982 to 2004, he wrote on the staffs of Forbes, Time and Fortune. Behar's work has also been featured on BBC, CNN, PBS, FoxNews.com and Fast Company magazine. He coordinates Project Klebnikov, a media alliance to probe the Moscow murder of Forbes editor Paul Klebnikov. Behar is also editor of Mideast Dig.

Quotes

 * For the TIME story, at least 10 attorneys and six private detectives were unleashed by Scientology and its followers in an effort to threaten, harass and discredit me. Last Oct. 12, not long after I began this assignment, I planned to lunch with Eugene Ingram, the church's leading private eye and a former cop. Ingram, who was tossed off the Los Angeles police force In 1981 for alleged ties to prostitutes and drug dealers, had told me that he might be able to arrange a meeting with church boss David Miscavige. Just hours before the lunch, the church's "national trial counsel," Earle Cooley, called to inform me that I would be eating alone. Alone, perhaps, but not forgotten. By day's end, I later learned, a copy of my personal credit report -- with detailed information about my bank accounts, home mortgage, credit-card payments, home address and Social Security number -- had been illegally retrieved from a national credit bureau called Trans Union. The sham company that received it, "Educational Funding Services" of Los Angeles, gave as its address a mail drop a few blocks from Scientology's headquarters. The owner of the mail drop is a private eye named Fred Wolfson, who admits that an Ingram associate retained him to retrieve credit reports on several individuals. Wolfson says he was told that Scientology's attorneys "had judgments against these people and were trying to collect on them." He says now, "These are vicious people. These are vipers." Ingram, through a lawyer, denies any involvement in the scam. ––Richard Behar, The Thriving Cults of Greed and Power, Time Magazine, May 6, 1991, sidebar: "The Scientologists and Me".

 * I stand here before you in absolute awe of the fact that Congressman Ryan, Patricia's father, gave his life in an attempt to rescue victims from another dangerous cult. Looking at the politicians who serve in our Congress today, should make everyone realize what a rare man Leo Ryan was. I greatly admire him. ––Richard Behar, 1992 Conference, (OLD) Cult Awareness Network

 * What happens when bosses ignore memos from subordinates? The country is now learning the answer to that question in a most painful way.  On July 10, 2001, an FBI agent in Phoenix [Arizona] wrote a memo raising serious concerns about Middle Eastern men attending U.S. flight schools.  The memo never made its way up the chain of command, and no action was taken. ––Richard Behar, introd. to "FBI's 'Phoenix' memo Unmasked", Fortune [date?], [date accessed?].  (See (incomplete) list of Behar's Fortune articles in his section of his Publications [some defunct links].)

 * Evolution is a FACT God is just a theory
 * Christian Fundamentalists Are Proof That Evolution Does Not Exist

 * some great quotes at

 * Lord save me from your followers!

 * The last time religion ran the world, It was called the Dark Ages

 * If you believe you can tell me what to think I believe I can tell you where to go

 * We have the fossils. We win.
 * Evolution is both fact and theory. Creationism is neither.

In neurobiology lecture today, the professor mentioned that much of the data we were seeing was culled from studies of leeches. He said, "Now, a lot of you may think leeches are nasty creatures. The people working with these creatures are quite fond of them, however. It is also reported that the leeches often become attached to the researchers."

Enzymes are things invented by biologists that explain things which otherwise require harder thinking. -- Jerome Lettvin

Life is a sexually transmitted disease

Thesaurus: ancient reptile with an excellent vocabulary.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Why did chicken cross the road? Stephen Jay Gould: It is possible that there is a sociobiological explanation for it, but we have been deluged in recent years with sociobiological stories despite the fact that we have little direct evidence about the genetics of behaviour, and we do not know how to obtain it for the specific behaviours that figure most prominently in sociobiological speculation.

I have a hunch that [] the unknown sequences of DNA [will decode into] copyright notices and patent protections. -- Donald E. Knuth

 *

--It Ain't Necessarily So, Porgy and Bess (George Gershwin)
 * De t'ings dat yo li'ble To read in de Bible - It ain't necessarily so.

--Francis S. Collins, Director National Human Genome Research Institute, writing in Faith and the Human Genome
 * The tragedy of young-earth creationism is that it takes a relatively recent and extreme view of Genesis, applies to it an unjustified scientific gloss, and then asks sincere and well-meaning seekers to swallow this whole, despite the massive discordance with decades of scientific evidence from multiple disciplines. Is it any wonder that many sadly turn away from faith concluding that they cannot believe in a God who asks for an abandonment of logic and reason?

--Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
 * Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

--Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
 * Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

--Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Renaissance author, courtier, and father of deductive reasoning
 * Books must follow sciences, and not sciences books.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American transcendentalist philosopher, essayist and lecturer
 * The religion that is afraid of science dishoners God and commits suicide.

--Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) American scientist and science-fiction writer
 * Though science can cause problems, it is not by ignorance that we will solve them.

--Sally Carrighar, Wild Heritage
 * A preacher thundering from his pulpit about the uniqueness of human beings with their God-given souls would not like to realize that his very gestures, the hairs that rose on his neck, the deepened tones of his outraged voice, and the perspiration that probably ran down his skin under clerical vestments are all manifestations of anger in mammals. If he was sneering at Darwin a bit (one does not need a mirror to know that one sneers), did he remember uncomfortably that a sneer is derived from an animal's lifting [of] its lip to remind an enemy of its fangs? Even while he was denying the principle of evolution, how could a vehement man doubt such intimate evidence?

--Tom Scharle
 * 1996 presidential contender, Pat Buchanan, said something along the lines of "You may believe that you're descended from monkeys, but I believe you're a creature of God". I guess that Buchanan hadn't considered that one of the basic tenets of Christianity is that God is the Creator of everything, including "monkeys". It seems to me that one of the basic reasons behind the so-called "creationism" is the feeling that somehow parts of God's creation are not worthy of being our ancestors.

--Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
 * I do not feel obliged to believe that same God who endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect had intended for us to forgo their use.

--Kenneth R. Miller, ActionBioscience.org interview
 * Most scientists who are religious look for God in what science does understand and has explained. So the way in which my view is different from the creationists or intelligent design proponents is that I find knowledge a compelling reason to believe in God. They find ignorance a compelling reason to believe in God.

--Albert Einstein
 * The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

--Susan B. Anthony, 1820-1906, Quaker, teacher, temperance and abolition organizer and women's rights leader
 * I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

--Anonymous reviewer of Eugenie Scott's Evolution vs. Creationism : An Introduction. See ScienceDaily
 * Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon - it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flys [sic] back to its flock to claim victory.

--Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, 1871, Part I, Chap. IV
 * Looking to future generations, there is no cause to fear that the social instincts will grow weaker... the social instincts, - the prime principle of man's moral constitution - with the aid of active intellectual powers and the effects of habit, naturally lead to the golden rule, "As ye would that men should do to you; do ye to them likewise"; and this lies at the foundation of morality.

--Dr Alex Ritchie, BSc. (Hons) Geology, Ph.D in Sydney Morning Herald Webdiary Debate, 15- 24 June 2005
 * In a year when humans have slotted a spacecraft neatly through a gap in the rings of Saturn and fired a projectile into a comet 135 million kilometres away, surely it isn't too much to ask that our scientific techniques should be able to determine the correct age of the earth to within a small margin of error?

--Mark Twain, God of the Bible vs. God of the Present Day
 * God made all the animals in a single day; he could have swept them all away in the flood and re-created them in one day when they were again needed. Therefore it was an odd idea to save specimens of them for eleven months in the ark, whilst aware that eight persons could not feed or water them by any human possibility. If they were to be preserved by miracle, the ark was not necessary -- to let them swim would have answered the purpose and been more indubitably miraculous.

--Voltaire, Dictionary of Theology\
 * The Deluge: A punishment inflicted on the human race by an all-knowing God, who, through not having foreseen the wickedness of men, repented of having made them, and drowned them once for all to make them better -- an act which, as we all know, was accompanied by the greatest success.

--George Gaylord Simpson (1964)
 * If a sect does officially insist that its structure of belief demands that evolution be false, then no compromise is possible. An honest and competent biology teacher can only conclude that the sect's beliefs are wrong and that its religion is a false one.

--Adelard of Bath Quaestiones Naturales, 1116
 * I do not detract from God. Everything that is, is from him, and because of him. But [nature] is not confused and without system, and so far as human knowledge has progressed it should be given a hearing. Only when it fails utterly should there be recourse to God.

--Karen Bartelt, Skeptics visit the "Museum of Creation and Earth History
 * Well, there sure is a lot of independent confirmation of that [the present human populations of the world have all descended from Noah], isn't there? What about the Egyptians, whose history stretches from at least 3100 BC -- well before the Flood -- through the pyramid builders of the Old Kingdom (2770-2200 BC) -- which includes the time of the Flood -- to the end of the New Kingdom (1087 BC) (Lerner et al 1993). Definably Egyptian art, architecture, and documents exist continuously through these ages. The earliest evidence of the Egyptians diverting the Nile for irrigation dates to 3100 BC, and by 1750 BC they had established river gauging stations to predict the height of the Nile flood (Officer and Page 1993:63). This civilization was obviously "tuned in" to floods. How come the Egyptians seem not to have noticed a global flood?

 * Intelligent design is emphatically not that theory, as it has systematically failed to stand up to any scrutiny. But, like a turd in the u-bend, it just won't go away. Adam Rutherford, Nature magazine Editor, April 15, 2008.

Jackie Speier

Karen Lorraine Jacqueline "Jackie" Speier (born May 14, 1950) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the U.S. representative for California's 14th congressional district, serving in Congress from 2008 to 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, Speier represented the northern two-thirds of San Mateo County and the southwest quarter of San Francisco.

Quotes

 * We were about to board the planes for the flight back to the United States. Jim Jones didn't want us to leave, at least not alive. A tractor trailer loaded with men armed with shotguns and rifles pulled up and opened fire on us at that airstrip. Congressman Ryan was gunned down, having been shot 40 times. The first and only congressman in the history of this country to be assassinated during the line of duty. I was shot five times and left to bleed on that airstrip for 22 hours. Back at Jonestown, over 900 people lost their lives in a mass murder and suicide that night. This is what I awoke to on that long day. I was 28 years old, and I was waiting to die. I laid awake all night fearing some of the gunmen would come back and finish us off. Time passed, and local Guyanese people offered me rum to try and get me through the night. I had a lot of time to think.  I promised God that if I lived, I would make every day count. I promised that I would make something out of my life if I was allowed to keep my life. Well, here I am. I have chosen a career as a public servant. One, I hope many of you will contemplate as you move forward in your lives.
 * Commencement Speaker, San Francisco State University, 2006

 * Leo Ryan's life and his deeds are about a life that was so much more than Guyana. He was relentless in his search for answers, answers that were not readily available by just asking questions...We remember him today because his story is so much like those of most Americans; we want to believe the best and we sometimes hear the worst.
 * "Tribute to congressman Leo Ryan held in Foster City", San Francisco Chronicle (November 18, 2003).

I lost the baby [...] And for you to stand on this floor and suggest that somehow this is a procedure that is either welcomed or done cavalierly or done without any thought, is preposterous. [...] Planned Parenthood has a right to operate. Planned Parenthood has a right to provide services for family planning. Planned Parenthood has a right to offer abortions [...] Last time I checked, abortions were legal in this country.
 * I really planned to speak about something else but the gentleman from New Jersey just put my stomach in knots because I'm one of those women he spoke about just now [...] I had a procedure at 17 weeks pregnant with a child who moved from the vagina into the cervix. And that procedure that you just described is a procedure that I endured.
 * Cited by Lucy Madison in "Dem Rep. Jackie Speier reveals abortion story on House floor" CBS News (February 21, 2011).
 * Speaking against a motion to end any federal funding for Planned Parenthood proposed by Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) Pence's amendment passed.

 * It's time to be more than a weekend wife and mother and friend and it's time to pass the torch to a new generation.
 * on retirement

 * "Forty-three years ago this week, I was lying on an airstrip in the jungles of Guyana with five bullet holes in my body. I vowed that if I survived, I would dedicate my life to public service. I lived, and I served. It's been a remarkable journey that has surpassed my wildest dreams."
 * on when she was ambushed on an airstrip by followers of Jim Jones, the group’s leader

 * "I know what it’s like to lie in bed at night, wondering if I was the one who had done something wrong. I know what it’s like years later to remember that rush of humiliation and anger.
 * she said in 2017, encouraging other women who worked at the Capitol and who had been subjected to harassment to come forward.

 * "There are more chapters in my life book. And I look forward to writing those chapters with the people l know and love"
 * Speier said at the end of her video message.

Quotes about her

 * "Her courageous and values-based leadership, particularly on behalf of the women, survivors and the vulnerable, has made a difference in the lives of countless Americans and has strengthened our nation"
 * Pelosi said

 * "I had the privilege of closely observing [Speier] in action as her Senate district director and Assembly district aide before that. I was awed by her ability to stand up to powerful interests regardless of potential political consequences"
 * Kevin Mullin, a Democrat who lives in her district and will be termed out next year said

Margaret Singer

Margaret Thaler Singer Ph.D. (29 July 1921 – 23 November 2003) was a clinical psychologist and adjunct professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.

1970s

 * The term "cult" is always one of individual judgment. It has been variously applied to groups involved in beliefs and practices just off the beat of traditional religions; to groups making exploratory excursions into non-Western philosophical practices; and to groups involving intense relationships between followers and a powerful idea or leader. The people I have studied, however, come from groups in the last, narrow band of the spectrum: groups such as the Children of God, the Unification Church of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the Krishna Consciousness movement, the Divine Light Mission, and the Church of Scientology. I have not had occasion to meet with members of the People's Temple founded by the late Reverend Jim Jones, who practiced what he preached about being prepared to commit murder and suicide, if necessary, in defense of the faith.
 * Coming Out of the Cults, Psychology Today (January 1979)

1990s

 * While everyone is influenced and persuaded daily in various ways, vulnerability to influence fluctuates. The ability to fend off persuaders is reduced when one is exhausted, rushed, stressed, uncertain, lonely, indifferent, uninformed, aged, very young, unsophisticated, ill, brain- damaged, drugged, drunk, distracted, fatigued, frightened, or very dependent.
 * "Undue Influence and Written Documents: Psychological Aspects", Journal of Questioned Document Examination, Vol. 1, No. 1 (1992), the official publication of the Independent Association of Questioned Document Examiners, Inc.

 * Thought reform is accomplished through the use of psychological and environmental control processes that do not depend on physical coercion. Today's thought reform programs are sophisticated, subtle, and insidious, creating a psychological bond that in many ways is far more powerful than gun-at-the-head methods of influence.  The effects generally lose their potency when the control processes are lifted or neutralized in some way.  That is why most Korean War POWs gave up the content of their prison camp indoctrination programs when they came home, and why many cultists leave their groups if they spend a substantial amount of time away from the group or have an opportunity to discuss their doubts with an intimate.
 * Thought Reform Exists: Organized, Programmatic Influence, The Cult Observer, Vol. 11 No. 6 (1994)

 * An estimated 5,000 economic, political, and religious groups operate in the United States alone at any given time, with 2.5 million members. Over the last ten years, cults have used tactics of coercive mind control to negatively impact an estimated 20 million victims in the last ten years. Worldwide figures are even greater.
 * Cults in Our Midst

 * Hundreds of other cult leaders have gathered far more followers than Jones by promising new psychological and spiritual utopias. They have succeeded by combining various ages-old psychological and social persuasion techniques in an atmosphere os Madison Avenue soft-sell approaches. Because most of the followers have been youthful or poor, little attention and credence has been given to reports from ex-members, families and friends who report the effects of the techniques of manipulation used by the groups.
 * The "Not Me" Myth: Orwell and the Mind, Idea Journal, Vol.2, no.2, (19 January 1996) ISSN 1523-1712

2000

 * I do not endorse them [Landmark Education] - never have. The SOBs have already sued me once.  I'm afraid to tell you what I really think about them because I'm not covered by any lawyers like I was when I wrote my book.
 * Quoted in "Drive through Deliverance", Phoenix New Times (19 October 2000)

2002

 * Just look up to the sky and talk to God yourself. You don't need an organization to do that. …They're all the same, really, these groups — they prey on the most lonely, vulnerable people they can find, cage you with your own mind through guilt and fear, cut you off from everyone you knew before, and when they're done doing that, they don't need armed guards to keep you. You're afraid that if you leave, your parents will die, you will die, your life will be ruined.  Flim-flam men, pimps, sharpsters — that's what they are.  Liars. Tricksters. It's been the same ever since Eve got the apple, and I doubt it will ever change. A real religion is truthful, you can come or go from it if you wish.  And most importantly, there is no one leader claiming he is a god. Big, big difference.
 * "Psych Sleuth : Margaret Singer has made history delving into the psychology of brainwashing", in The San Francisco Chronicle (26 May 2002)

2003

 * I started hearing from families who had missing members, many of them young kids on our campus, and they all would describe the same sorts of things. A sudden change of personality, a new way of talking...and then they would disappear. And bingo, it was the same sort of thing as with the Korean War prisoners, the same sort of thought-reform and social controls.  You find it again and again, any time people feel vulnerable.  There are always sharpies around who want to hornswoggle people.
 * Margaret Singer - expert on brainwashing, San Francisco Chronicle (25 November 2003)

2004

 * The public takes care of their fear by thinking only crazies and stupid people wind up in cults. I've interviewed over 4000 ex-cult members. There's no one type of person who is vulnerable.
 * The Philadelphia Inquirer, 1997, as cited in Margaret Thaler Singer, The Lancet (31 January 2004)

Quotes about Singer

 * Psychologist Margaret Singer, 69, an outspoken Scientology critic and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, now travels regularly under an assumed name to avoid harassment.
 * Richard Behar, The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power, Time Magazine (6 May 1991)

 * Over the decades, cult operatives have fished through Singer's trash, sent her death threats and picketed her lectures. They've released dozens of live rats at her house, put dead ones on her doorstep (hearts skewered with lollipop sticks) and hacked into her computer so many times she doesn't use one any more. Once a cultist talked her way into working in Singer's campus office, then stole a sheaf of term papers and sent bizarre notes to the students.
 * Margaret Singer has made history delving into the psychology of brainwashing, San Francisco Chronicle (26 May 2002)

 * She is the most recognized expert in her field in the whole world, and that's why I sought her out. She's also a real doll, and a very decent human being, above and beyond everything else.
 * San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Dennis Morris, quoted in Margaret Singer has made history delving into the psychology of brainwashing, San Francisco Chronicle (26 May 2002)

 * She's one of a kind, the foremost authority on brainwashing in the entire world. She is a national treasure.
 * Paul Morantz, attorney, quoted in Margaret Singer - expert on brainwashing, San Francisco Chronicle (25 November 2003)

 * She was a remarkable person -the only genius I ever met in our business. There are simply very few people anywhere who had the clinical skills that she had - period. In addition, she was a world-class researcher.  She was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize for her work in schizophrenia. That work revealed that the best indicator of the disordered mind was the schizophrenic's odd and peculiar use of language.
 * Daniel Goldstine, chief psychologist of the Berkeley Therapy Institute,

 * Margaret Thaler Singer stands alone in her extraordinary knowledge of the psychology of cults
 * Robert Lifton, M.D., foreword to ''Cults in Our Midst'
 * In this era of clichés, the word “giant” is bandied about all too frequently. But Margaret was a genuine giant. She made enormous contributions to the psychological understanding of cults, including the Unification Church, Heaven’s Gate, and the Branch Davidians; and cult therapies, including Synanon and Scientology.
 * In Memoriam: Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer, The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice, Spring/Summer 2004 Volume 3., Number 1., by Scott O. Lilienfield, Emory University

 * One of those groups went through my mom's mail and knew everything about us - my girlfriend's name, where we went, what we bought, all kinds of stuff. We all put up with a lot, but nobody more than her.
 * Sam Singer (son), Margaret Singer has made history delving into the psychology of brainwashing, San Francisco Chronicle (26 May 2002)

 * In addition to her high-profile work on cults, Singer was also an authority on schizophrenia, and was nominated twice for a Nobel Prize for her research.
 * "Margaret Thaler Singer" Biography Resource Center Online (2004)

 * Her testimony would help people understand the clinical impact of a cult's manipulation and exploitation. There was a constant stream of people who would go into these organizations and end up in psychiatric emergency rooms.
 * Dr. Richard Ofshe, a sociology professor at the University of California at Berkeley who worked with Dr. Singer for 20 years, in report by Anahad O'Connor in The New York Times (7 December 2003)

 * But not everyone agreed with her views on the subject, and Singer paid a price for her work. Cult "operatives" dug through her trash, went through her mail, picketed her lectures and sent her death threats. They also hacked into her computer countless times, once released dozens of live rats in her house, and frequently left dead rats on her doorstep with threatening notes.

Johann Hari

Johann Hari (born 21 January 1979) is a British journalist and writer. He was a columnist for The Independent, but left the paper in 2011 after admitting multiple charges of plagiarism and making malicious edits of several of his critics' Wikipedia pages using a pseudonym. He has also been a columnist for the Evening Standard and a regular arts critic on the BBC's Newsnight Review. He is a self-described "European social democrat". Hari won the Orwell Prize for Journalism in 2008, but the award was revoked in 2011 after his plagiarism was revealed.

Quotes

 * The truth emerging from this scattered picture of nuclear proliferation is simple: there is a stronger chance of a nuclear bomb being used now than at almost any point in the Cold War.
 * "Will we wake from our nuclear coma?", The Independent (20 October 2004)

 * The climate-change deniers are rapidly ending up with as much intellectual credibility as creationists and Flat Earthers... They are denying the reality of a force that — unless we change the way we live pretty fast — will kill millions.
 * "The shame of the climate change deniers", The Independent (24 April 2005)

 * We are entering a world of rapidly multiplying nuclear stand-offs like this. India vs Pakistan. Iran vs Israel. America vs. China. Within decades, North Korea vs Japan and South Korea. Not one Cold War, but many - and the risk is doubled each time.
 * "From hot spots to Cold Wars", The Independent (27 July 2005)

 * There is an emerging scientific consensus that global warming is making hurricanes more intense and more destructive. It turns out that Katrina fits into a pattern that scientists and greens have been trying to warn us about for a long time.
 * "New Orleans is a frightening glimpse of the future", The Independent (3 September 2005)

 * My feeling about the war was — given a choice between these two things — obviously I want to see a world with much better choices than that — but given that was the choice we were confronted with, the best way through it was to try to find out what Iraqis prefer.
 * Interviewed by Matt Kennard, as cited in "Interview from the Leeds Student: Part One: About Chomsky, Hitchens and more", JohannHari.com (27 November 2005)

 * The bombs held in current nuclear arsenals are seventy times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. If we don’t begin opposing the drift towards more and more of them, we will live in the shadow of the mushroom cloud for the rest of our lives — and millions may die there.
 * "And the solution to the Iran crisis is...a return to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty", JohannHari.com (''The Independent, 22 January 2006)

 * For all the chatter that Britain has moved beyond class, recent studies have found that it determines the life chances of British people more today than at any point since the Second World War... A child born into a rich family in Britain will almost certainly live and die rich, while a child born into a poor family will almost certainly live and die poor.
 * "Class still rules in Britain - as the Lib Dems should remember when choosing their leader", The Independent (30 January 2006)

 * The greatest trick the rich — and their cheerleaders on the right — ever pulled was convincing the world that class didn’t exist. Out here in the real world, it is more real and more rigid than it has been for a century.
 * "Class still rules in Britain - as the Lib Dems should remember when choosing their leader", The Independent (30 January 2006)

 * The lamest defence I could offer - one used by many supporters of the war as they slam into reverse gear - is that I still support the principle of invasion, it's just the Bush administration screwed it up. ... The evidence should have been clear to me all along: the Bush administration would produce disaster.
 * "I was wrong, terribly wrong - and the evidence should have been clear all along", The Independent (20 March 2006)

 * We have been living in an ideological bubble — one of market fundamentalism. From the trauma of the Great Depression to 1973, there was a broad consensus across the democratic world that markets were absolutely essential to generate wealth, but they will also cause all sorts of problems if they are left unregulated. Economists like JM Keynes and JK Galbraith taught us that if you abolish markets, you get starvation; but if you abolish all the democratic checks and balances on markets, you get a system that eats itself. Unregulated businesses will cause unsustainable levels of pollution and inequality, and ultimately start pursuing unhinged business models that cause the whole system to collapse.
 * "Has market fundamentalism had its day?", The Independent (20 March 2008)

 * We now have a global business system that is virtually unregulated, with trade unions crippled and politicians largely bought by the super-rich to serve their interests. And what is the result? Inequality has returned to 1920s levels, and movement between the classes has collapsed. We have bank runs unseen in a century. And now even senior Wall Street figures mutter — with only a hint of hyperbole — about a looming Depression and "the worst crisis since 1929." All we need now is rising unemployment and Zelda and F Scott Fitzgerald boozily waltzing through Wall Street, and we are back where this story began.
 * "Has Market Fundamentalism Had Its Day?", The Independent (20 March 2008).

 * The outbreak of cholera in Zimbabwe became a symbol of that country's collapse — but who noticed the spread of cholera across Iraq? The McCainiacs chorused that "the surge worked" — but a study by the journal Environment and Planning found the truth. Between 2003 and 2007, Iraq was ripped by a massive ethnic cleansing. The mixed Sunni-Shia areas were destroyed. By the time the surge started, there was nobody left to purge: the country was carved into ethnically homogeneous neighbourhoods. All the surge did was build vast concrete walls between the collapsing hoods, cementing the cleansing. That's success?
 * "What did we misjudge in 2008?", The Independent (18 December 2008).

About Hari

 * Oddly, the person I feel sorriest for isn't Brand himself – although he certainly comes across as a rather pitiable figure, projecting his own brokenness on to the world around him – but Johann Hari. Drummed out of Fleet Street for plagiarism, the former Independent columnist has washed up as "my mate Johann, who's been doing research for this book". For a genuinely talented polemicist, it would have been a humbling experience to have to treat this sub-undergraduate dross as the scintillating wisdom of a philosopher-king.
 * Robert Colville "Revolution by Russell Brand, review: 'sub-undergraduate dross'", The Telegraph (23 October 2014)
 * From a review of Revolution by Russell Brand which had recently been published.

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Commentary on Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

Commentary on Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid
Much like the case of Fernando Alonso (post-archiving link), this page contains no quotes that are actually from the main subject (in this case, Carter's book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid) and instead contains solely quotes from other people talking about it. While I think it's find to include a few such quotes as part of a larger page about the specific person or work, I strongly feel that such things should not be the only content of a page, or in this case, the subject of a separate page (for a book we don't have anything from). In this case, the page amounts to an incredibly highly-specific theme page; the closest analog I could find here is Nepenthes rajah, a page for a specific plant species. I think that this new page is even more specific than that, confined to talking about a single book, and not even the larger issue (the subject of the book). Very little, if any, of the content is likely to be considered important by most people after a few months; while the reaction to the book has been strong, I don't think that it's going to be remembered in history as starting any sort of movement, and before long it'll just be another book written by an ex-U.S. President and none of this commentary will matter.

There is also the issue of a potential GFDL violation, in that the content for this page was copy/pasted from Wikipedia's w:Commentary on Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, including (and especially) the portions of it that are not direct quotes. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (seven votes to delete, no dissent). —LrdChaos (talk) 13:55, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, concur with LrdChaos. The only way I see the need for this is if a page is created with quotes from this work (in which case some of these quotes about it can be moved there). ~ UDScott 16:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: has now created Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid (is that even the correct capitalization?) which includes the content of this page under discussion.  This user has also expressed disinterest in fixing the new article to conform to Wikiquote standards.  121a0012 04:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * "This user...standards" is not correct. I have said that after having spent all this time constructing a new page to replace this one, I do not have time to convert the notes to Wikiquote source citation format.  Someone else or some other editors more familiar with Wikiquote style will have to do that.  I've done my part, I believe.  See the new page: the capitalization of the title is correct:  see Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid before posing such questions.  Answers to such a question may be found by reading that article and those linked to it, including the talk page (w/ 4 archives) and the talk pages of the related articles.  Re: "if a page is created with quotes from this work (in which case some of these quotes about it can be moved there)": I have now done that. I would like this page deleted in favor of the new page, which other editors can help to revise.--NYScholar 07:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)  Hence:

 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 04:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as bad transwiki. Wikipedians, who outnumber Wikiquotians by at least 100 to 1, ought to learn the proper means to transwiki material, which was established at Wikipedia in the first place. If they don't have the time to follow GFDL requirements, they can hardly expect us to clean up the mess. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as violating GFDL license. If someone wants to correctly transwiki it then we can debate the merits of the article, but right now it's pretty much a moot point. Koweja 04:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Perhaps form a delegation to Wikipedia to tell transwiki'ers what exactly we are interested in and what we are not, because Wikiquote is not a book review site. Pithy single comments might be added to an article about the book (which concentrated on quotes from it) or possibly to Jimmy Carter. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 11:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced quotes from an unidentified person. There is no corresponding WP page. The subject's notability hasn't been demonstrated and, given that Google doesn't know any of the quotes, seems open to doubt. Antiquary 21:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

The Sonnets
This began life as an ordinary WQ page of quotations from Shakespeare's sonnets, but in June 2005 it was expanded to include the entire texts of all 154 of them. Later this complete text was split between eight new articles, and The Sonnets was turned into a navigation page. And yet the complete Sonnets had all along been available at Wikisource. Since our version of The Sonnets is completely redundant I suggest that it be deleted, along with the eight pages it directs us to, so that someone can start collecting quotes again from scratch. The only alternative seems to be for someone to go through all 2156 lines cutting out the duff ones. Antiquary 23:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

—LrdChaos (talk) 14:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: keep (seven votes to keep). My recommendation is to redirect the aux. pages instead of outright deleting them, and the overall consensus was to restore actual content but generally not fulltexts. I'll leave a note on the Talk page to that effect.
 * Well, it looks like that was already done beforehand I just didn't notice. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:22, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep this page, but delete the auxiliary pages which merely duplicate the compilation which belongs at Wikisource. I will work on this page sometime in the next week, from the base upon which it was begun, and try to compile a page of quotes from the sonnets, with perhaps a couple of the more famous sonnets quoted in full, as copyright is not an issue. Kalki 23:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

 * By all means keep on those terms. Antiquary 23:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. - InvisibleSun 04:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Kalki. ~ UDScott 13:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kalki. I have a concern about full sonnet quotation, even without copyright concerns, because our focus should be pithy excerpts, not entire works. But sonnets and many poems (and some songs) are short enough to make it hard to draw a line, so I've typically overlooked the question. I see this generating more content disputes as Wikiquote expands, but we've got enough to worry about as it is, eh? ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Ruggedman
While this might a notable-enough person (Ruggedman indicates a Nigerian rapper), I'm not sure that this page (created without an intro) is actually for him. I found nothing in a quick search that would connect this person with the quote on the page, and the WP article doesn't mention this song or album, and there are but a few search results that connect the two, and even fewer that connect them as artist/album. —LrdChaos (talk) 23:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm inclined to keep it based on this link, which includes the song "Peace or War" (track 4 of Thy Album Come). I played the song on the link and heard the quote several times. - InvisibleSun 05:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems to be notable. Koweja 04:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, although I have reservations about the verifiability of this subject. The "official site" listed on WP is big on flash (literally) and low on accessible substance. All Music Guide currently doesn't seem to have any info on him. The museke.com link InvisibleSun cites currently returns a "403 Forbidden" HTTP error. The Wikipedia article has no cited sources, is full of redlinks, and has inconsistencies (claims a CD in 1991, but states "years active" as 2004 onward, while our single quote claims "Peace or War" is from 2003). I don't care enough to pursue this, but I did reformat the article, properly cite the song source, and correct the quote based on an audio sample I found (which I won't cite here because I didn't check to see if it's fair-use) and two lyrics websites, which all agreed. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Friedrich Kellner

August Friedrich Kellner (1 February 1885 – 4 November 1970) [[Media:Friedrich Kellner pronunciation.ogg|(pronounce)]] was a justice inspector during the Nazi period in Germany. As a Social Democrat, he campaigned against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. During the Second World War, Kellner kept a secret diary to record Nazi crimes. He referred to his diary as “Mein Widerstand,” meaning My Opposition. His diary was published in its original language in 2011 under the title, Vernebelt, verdunkelt sind alle Hirne (Clouded and darkened are all the minds), by Wallstein Verlag in Göttingen, Germany. The English translation was published in 2018 by Cambridge University Press: My Opposition: The Diary of Friedrich Kellner -- A German against the Third Reich. .

Diary (1939 - 1945)

 * The following quotes from the Cambridge University English edition are in chronological order

 * To trample democracy with one’s feet and give power to a single man over almost eighty million people is so terrible one can really tremble over the things that will come.
 * September 17, 1939; p. 43.

 * Terror is trump. Methods of common brutal suppression are considered sanctified laws. "Old Fighters" are saints, and from the district leader upwards there are only Gods!
 * October 7, 1939; p. 43.

 * If the Jews, who over the centuries contributed demonstrable achievements in the economy for the total development of the nation, can be made a people without rights, then that is an act unworthy of a cultured nation. The curse of this evil deed will indelibly rest on the entire German people. The authors, the National Socialists, will have disappeared some day; their deeds, however, will live on
 * October 13, 1939; p. 48

 * This "Conqueror of Berlin," as he [Joseph Goebbels] has named himself, has completely conquered Germany. And not only that: many Germans living abroad--all too many of them, unfortunately--have fallen for the cunning propaganda.
 * October 14, 1939; p. 49.

 * Why only hate? Where does love remain? Or at least a little decency toward other people? We think we can behave against everyone in the exact same rabid way we did against the Jews: to smash, crush--and even exterminate.
 * March 30, 1940; p. 65.

 * The carnage will eventually come to an end, but the Western powers will carry the historical guilt for not promptly providing the most intensive preventative measures against Germany's incessant politics of aggression. Possibilities existed, but no actions were taken.
 * May 29, 1940; p. 73.

 * Spineless politics do not change the mind of a tyrant. The sharpest means would still be too mild.
 * May 29, 1940; p. 73.

 * Hitler knew weapons alone would not be decisive, he focused on molding the people’s spirit, breeding something singular in history: bravado, blind obedience, ruthlessness, and brutality. There was contempt for every noble human emotion; contemptible disregard for the thinking of others; destruction of religion and religious establishments -- and there was the extermination of the Jews because they were wiser than the German people.
 * July 15, 1941, p. 131.

 * The world will rightfully be outraged over so much inhumanity, and it will ignite a hatred that can never be extinguished. . . . How long will this reign of terror continue?
 * October 26, 1941; p. 144.

 * There is no punishment that would be hard enough to be applied to these Nazi beasts. Of course, in the case of retribution the innocent will have to suffer along with them. Ninety-nine percent of the German people, directly or indirectly, carry the guilt for the present situation. Therefore we can only say this: Those who travel together, hang together.
 * October 28, 1941; p. 145.

 * Under the category, "Air Force aided by Hitler youth," the children wear military uniforms and become used to handling the artillery. Fifteen- and sixteen-year-old children as warriors! If the war still continues to last for a long time, perhaps infants also will be used. Total war!
 * December 14, 1943; p. 299.

 * The Party uses the lies up to the last moment as a cover-up. Thus it intimidates the political opponents and provides its Party comrades with sedatives. It is so unbelievably simple for the current gang to lie to this German people and to lead these fools around by the nose.
 * March 26, 1945; p. 399.

 * We can hold up under everything if only we have the certainty the monster Hitler with his insatiable bloodletting and plundering will have committed soon his last shameful deed.
 * March 28, 1945; p. 400.

 * Adolph Hitler, "the most ingenious field marshal of all time," the all-powerful ruler over the 1,000 Year Reich-- which collapsed after twelve years --- has disappeared from the scene. The NSDAP has come to a complete and inglorious end.
 * May 1, 1945; p. 405.

 * If now, after the collapse, any of these lackeys of Adolf Hitler has the insolence to want to be considered as a harmless onlooker, then one can only wish he immediately feels the scourge of avenging mankind. . . . Whoever cries about having lost the totalitarian system or wants to resurrect National Socialism is to be treated as an incorrigible lunatic.
 * May 8, 1945; p. 409-10.
