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 Lucanus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lucanus~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 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 05:52, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Capitalism

Unsourced

 * The possibility of co-ordination through voluntary co-operation rests on the elementary - yet frequently denied - proposition that both parties to an economic transaction benefit from it, provided the transaction is bi-laterally voluntary and informed. Exchange can therefore bring about co-ordination without coercion. A working model of a society organized through voluntary exchange is a free private enterprise exchange economy - what we have been calling competitive capitalism.
 * Milton Friedman.

Definitions
Just wondering the division of definitions by people to "Notable Individuals" and then some other groups. This suggests that the other groups are not "notable" individuals. Unless all the persons under "notable individuals" can be put under a different label, maybe move them lower and under "Other Notable Individuals"? 130.232.196.223 11:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Too many definitions
The quotes in "definitions" read like an essay, not like a quote collection. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 16:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Blah, instead of cleanup, we now also got dictionary definitions dumped in here, way to go, RJII... Do these dictionary definitions belong to wikiquote, or wiktionary? One would assume wiktionary, but I'm not familiar with it, and when I browsed it a little now, they don't seem to include sources for the origin of each definition, unlike the ones that were added here... Opinions? Sams 00:21, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, if I recall correctly, Wiktionary provides us with a definition, as a dictionary, not collection of (other) dictionary definitions... personally I found the dictionary definition section redundant and wonder if we need it, but anyway it is a sort of "collection of quotations". And some of definitions on dictionary or encyclopedia would be worthy to keep, specially historically notable ones (e.g. L'encyclopedie, though it lacks the capitalism article presumably). I admit the former "definition" section is too huge and need to cleanup, but not sure if it should be completely deleted. Any opinions? --Aphaia 03:20, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

My opinion is that all the definitions should be deleted. The excessive number of definitions seem to me to be a subtle way to sabotage the page. The wiktionary link should be enough if anyone wants a definition. --Teabeard 13:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Minarchists??
What the hell does that even mean? Surely there is a better word to use. --Kennyisinvisible 02:46, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Minarchism means a minimalist government. But perhaps a better word would be "Libertarian"? --Teabeard 01:21, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Adam Smith quote
"All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind." ~ Adam Smith

I fail to see what this quote has to do with capitalism. It rather seems to me to be extending from whoever added its' views of capitalism and the results of capitalism, not capitalism itself. I'm removing it for that reason. If someone wants to put it back please give a valid reason for doing so.

I removed this quote AGAIN for the same reason. Again I will ask anyone who wants to put it back to give a valid reason for it being on this page. -JRocket

Bias
Maybe it's just me, but is this page horribly biased in favor of left-wing economics? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.163.146.6 (talk • contribs) 04:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC) In favor of?! This is horribly, horribly biased against it! 66.235.51.50 06:11, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Bias
These quotes are horribly, horribly biased. I propose closer restrictions on the posting of left wing quotes (while not removing those already there), at least until the discrepancy is resolved. Either that or (as I shall attempt now) divide the article into two halves: pro-capitalist or anti-capitalist.
 * I find any current complaints about the supposed bias of this article rather amusing... whoever did the postings might have been biased in various ways, but even after moving a couple quotes that weren't previously categorized into the anti-capitalist section during my recent cleanup the result is 16 anti-capitalist quotes and 29 pro-capitalist... hardly a ratio that supports the contention that it is "horribly, horribly biased" against capitalism or that there is need for a pruning of "left wing" quotes. To quote the great libertarian capitalist Milton Friedman: "A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both." ~ Kalki 10:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I see a bias too. It seems that anti-capitalist quotes are given precedence at the moment. – Illegitimate Barrister, 10:01, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Some of these quotes are not directly about Capitalism
I will cite this one by John Stuart Mill as an example: "Since the state must necessarily provide subsistance for the criminal poor while undergoing punishment, not to do the same for the poor who have not offended is to give a premium on crime."

This quote clearly advocates government entitlements to the poor; but this article is not on the topic of entitlements, but rather on the economic system known as capitalism. By almost all accounts the United States would be considered a capitalist system, and yet the USA provides entitlements to the poor. So the fact is, the two are not mutually exclusive and this quote would perhaps better be placed in an article on entitlements rather than here?

Capitalism -- by the definition in the first paragraph of the article -- is an economic system where the means of production are privately owned and is largely unregulated. It says nothing in it about entitlements one way or the other, so I don't see how that particular quote has anything to do with capitalism.
 * I agree this quote is not directly enough about capitalism and have removed it. ~ Kalki 21:28, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Capitalism (Sechrest: "You know, a free economy!") is the natural default state of voluntary human action. Every alternative to capitalism proposed — most emphatically socialism —involves coercive violent force imposed upon participants in exchanges of goods and/or services by |nonparticipants who intervene to compel conduct that none of the parties directly involved require to undertake their transactions. The "largely unregulated" qualification stipulated just above is vague to the point of nonsense, inasmuch as voluntary transactions are exquisitely "regulated" by the willing participants in such exchanges, else those exchanges don't happen at all. It is for this reason that "compare and contrast" quotations matching capitalism against its predominant modern enemy — socialism — are (contrary to Ningauble's extirpative arrogance) necessary in the consideration of capitalism, its nature, and its superiority to the violent coercion and "calculational chaos" of socialism.  Thus the following quote should be restored to the section on capitalism:

 * As we know, socialism is calculational chaos. Rational appraisement and allocation are eternally elusive. It is a gigantic negative-sum game in which each player quickly grabs a piece of the pie, and all the while the pie shrinks before the players' eyes. The welfare/warfare state, the interventionist state, is no improvement. Each intervention begets yet another. Bureaucracy is the only 'industry' guaranteed to experience growth. Each new regulation taxes the private sector, relentlessly shifting resources out of the hands of the productive, and into the hands of the unproductive. Capitalism is the only positive-sum game in town.

Off-topic quotes, moved here from the article

 * How is property given? By restraining liberty; that is, by taking it away so far as necessary for the purpose. How is your house made yours? By debarring every one else from the liberty of entering it without your leave.
 * Jeremy Bentham, "A Critical Examination of the Declaration of Rights; Article II" in The Works of Jeremy Bentham, Vol. II (1839), p. 503

 * LAND, n. A part of the earth's surface, considered as property. The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society, and is eminently worthy of the superstructure. Carried to its logical conclusion, it means that some have the right to prevent others from living; for the right to own implies the right exclusively to occupy; and in fact laws of trespass are enacted wherever property in land is recognized. It follows that if the whole area of terra firma is owned by A, B and C, there will be no place for D, E, F and G to be born, or, born as trespassers, to exist.
 * Ambrose Bierce in The Devil's Dictionary

 * We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.
 * Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice from 1916-1939, according to Raymond Lonergan in Mr. Justice Brandeis, Great American (1941), p. 42

 * A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it [...] gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want.
 * Milton Friedman, Capitalism & Freedom, 1962

 * Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread.
 * Thomas Jefferson, Memoirs of Thomas Jefferson (1821), collected in Memoirs, correspondence and private papers of Thomas Jefferson, vol. 1, edited by T. J. Randolph, 1829, p. 70

 * Corporations care very much about maintaining the myth that government is necessarily ineffective, except when it is spending money on the military-industrial complex, building prisons, or providing infrastructural support for the business sector.
 * Michael Lerner in The Politics of Meaning

 * Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital producing mutual benefits.
 * Abraham Lincoln, First State of the Union Address (3 December 1861)

 * The meaning of economic freedom is this: that the individual is in a position to choose the way in which he wants to integrate himself into the totality of society.
 * Ludwig von Mises, Economic Policy: Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow (1979), p. 17

 * There are two methods, or means, and only two, whereby man's needs and desires can be satisfied. One is the production and exchange of wealth; this is the economic means. The other is the uncompensated appropriation of wealth produced by others; this is the political means.
 * Albert Jay Nock, Our enemy, the State (1946), p. 59

 * It cannot be said too often — at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough — that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamed of. Professor Hayek is also probably right in saying that in this country the intellectuals are more totalitarian-minded than the common people. But he does not see, or will not admit, that a return to 'free' competition means for the great mass of people a tyranny probably worse, because more irresponsible, than that of the State.
 * George Orwell in a review of The Road to Serfdom (1944) by Friedrich Hayek

 * It is the value of the improvement, only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor, therefore, of cultivated lands, owes to the community a ground-rent ... for the land which he holds. ...  Man did not make the earth, and, though he had a natural right to occupy it, he had no right to locate as his property in perpetuity any part of it; neither did the Creator of the earth open a land-office, from whence the first title-deeds should issue.
 * Thomas Paine, "Agrarian Justice" (1796), in Writings of Thomas Paine vol. 3, edited by Moncure Daniel Conway, 1895, p. 330

 * Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear.
 * Ayn Rand, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal (1966), p. 48

 * The first man who, having enclosed a piece of land, thought to himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this imposter; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself belongs to nobody.
 * Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Dissertation On the Origin and Foundation of the Inequality of Mankind

 * Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all.
 * Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations (1776), V.i.b.12 (Part II)

 * It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.  Nobody but a beggar chooses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow citizens.
 * Adam Smith, in Wealth of Nations (1776)

 * Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.
 * Thomas Sowell, Knowledge and Decisions (1980), p. 80 (page # from 1996 edition)

 * The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.
 * Thomas Sowell, Is Reality Optional?: And Other Essays (1993), p. 131

 * In most parts of our country men work, not for themselves, not as partners in the old way in which they used to work, but generally as employees,—in a higher or lower grade,—of great corporations. There was a time when corporations played a very minor part in our business affairs, but now they play the chief part, and most men are the servants of corporations.
 * Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom - A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People

Further comment
Multiple quotes are about markets/ the free market, and are added in the new article market -- Mdd (talk) 17:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Those (nine) quotes are used to start the article Market, see result, and removed from the listing above. -- Mdd (talk) 18:16, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Merge Definitions of capitalism into this article
After the 2005 discussion Too many definitions (see above), this article is split in two in 2006. This has lead to multiple problems. For example in this article quotes were added, not directly related to capitalism; And in the Definitions of capitalism article quotes are added which were no definition.

Now before the split in 2006 this article had a thematic division in multiple chapters, see here. The nowadays regular solution can be implemented here, to arrange all the quotes in one division by author/source. -- Mdd (talk) 17:46, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Some thoughts on neutrality
I think there is inevitably going to be some contention about the ordering of the quotations in the photo sidebar for such a contentious and important topic. My attempt in the revision of January 9, 2016 was to place quotes that described characteristics of capitalism, or synthesized the arguments for and against capitalism, earlier in the page before contentious quotes for or against capitalism. I had hoped that this approach might make the page into something more than merely a battle-ground between opposing positions.

I am concerned that with the revision of January 26, 2016 the page has become far more contentious, and in particular that the proposed new ordering places ten quotes arguing contentiously in favor of capitalism in the first ten positions. It seems to me that this ordering does not show a good faith attempt to achieve ideological neutrality, and I would like to try to achieve a consensus as to what a better ordering might be. If we can't achieve consensus, maybe it would make sense to just put the quotes in alphabetic order.

What do other editors think? ~ Peter1c (talk) 13:43, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Alphabetical order seems best. – Illegitimate Barrister, 08:09, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Only fitting to have some anti communist-pro capitalist ones as well, such as Communism is the most painful path between capitalism and capitalism. by Scott Adams. --2001:8003:412B:6300:988A:1B7B:BB1C:989B 03:49, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in Wikiquote. Content on Wikiquote is determined by consensus. Obtaining an account will permit meaningful participation in the consensus process. The Scott Adams quote is a valuable addition, but since it already appears first in the text column, I see no reason for it also to appear first in the image column. The quotations from Adam Smith and Bernard Mandeville represent the founding ideas in the Enlightenment rationalization of capitalism, an attempt to lift capital accumulation from the ignominious position of mammonolatry it had earned in the Middle Ages. I'm not sure what criteria you are using in your classification: what is more canonically pro-capitalist than Adam Smith? Thanks again for your interest. I advise you that it is not likely to have meaningful participation in consensus process without signing up for a (free) account. ~ Peter1c (talk)

Excessive obscure quotes and pov pushing
These quotes by PRabat (who is of doubtful notability, he has no wikipedia page) were recently added, the quotes are obscure and only published once in a news blog. (NewsClick website blog)

The quote is also in about 10 other wikiquote articles.

This is a high level article. This article should have more quotes from books, rather than websites or newspapers, that have timeless quotability. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

The Fifth Element

The Fifth Element (1997) is a science-fiction film from Columbia Pictures. The movie's plot is focused on an extraterrestrial object set on a collision course with Earth, and a group of humans moving to stop it.
 * Written and directed by Luc Besson. Starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman.

Korben Dallas

 * Listen lady, I only speak two languages: English and bad English.

Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg

 * My dear Aknot, what about those two little planes you borrowed? [sees Aknot's human face] Aknot, is that you? What an ugly face. It doesn't suit you. Take it off. [Aknot's face transforms into a Mangalore's] Much better. Never be ashamed of who you are. You're warriors, be proud. So what if the Federal Government scattered your people into the wind? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Your time for revenge is at hand. Voila! The ZF-1. [activates a ZF-1 and holds it] It's light; handle's adjustable for easy carrying; good for righties and lefties; breaks down into four parts; undetectable by X-ray; ideal for quick discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger; 3000-round clip with bursts of 3 to 300. And with the replay button, another Zorg invention, it's even easier. [lights reveal a mannequin in police gear] One shot... [shoots mannequin]...and replay sends every following shot to the same location. [turns around, shooting in the direction of the Mangalores; bullets curve their trajectory and hit the mannequin instead] And to finish the job, all the Zorg oldies-but-goldies. [fires every weapon at the mannequin as he mentions them] Rocket launcher... arrow launcher, with exploding or poisonous gas heads, very practical... our famous net launcher... the always-efficient flamethrower, my favorite... [winks to the Mangalores] and for the grand finale, the all-new 'Ice-cube System'! [fires a cloud of liquid nitrogen which freezes the remains of the mannequin. Mangalores applaud politely by carnage and were very impressed]

 * I don't like warriors. Too narrow-minded, no subtlety, and worse, they fight for hopeless causes. Honour? Huh! Honour's killed millions of people and hasn't saved a single one. I'll tell you what I do like, though: a killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold-blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, he would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun. [Aknot is shown looking confused about the red button; he pushes it, and the room with the Mangalores blows up; Zorg casually smokes a cigarette] Bring me the priest.

Leeloo

 * You humans act so strange. Everything you create is used to destroy.
 * Multi-pass
 * I don't know love. I was built to protect, not to love.
 * You no trouble. Me, fifth element. Supreme being. Me protect you.

Dialogue

 * [at an Egyptian temple in 1914]
 * Billy: [nervously aiming gun at Mondoshawan; shouting] D-DON'T MOVE! I-I-I HAVE A GUN!
 * Priest: Please understand. They are our friends.
 * Billy: Friends? [points at Professor Pacoli] Father, they killed the professor. They're monsters!
 * Priest: I'll explain everything. Just listen to me.
 * Billy: You're with them?!
 * Priest: Look at me, look at me. I am your friend, Billy.
 * Billy: No, father.
 * Priest: BILLY, LOOK AT ME! [gently] Please, put the gun down.
 * Billy: No. [trips over bag; falls back as he accidentally fires shots at Mondoshawan; Priest shouts]
 * [Walls activate and begin to close with Mondoshawan in it]
 * Priest: [to Mondoshawan] Hurry! The wall is closing!
 * Mondoshawan: [tries to walk out the chamber] Here is your mission: pass down our knowledge to the next priest just as it was passed down to you.
 * Priest: I-I'll do as you command, but please, hurry! You're running out of time!
 * Mondoshawan: [raises hand past the closing wall, extending a finger that has a special key] Time, not important. Only life is important. [wall closes trapping the hand]

 * Robot: Are you human?
 * Koren Dallas: Negatory - I am a meat popsicle.

 * Korben Dallas: What's your name?
 * Leeloo: Leeloo Minaï Lekatariba-Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat.
 * Dallas: Good. That... that whole thing's your name, huh? Do you have, uh... a shorter name? Not [speaks gibberish; whistles, brings fingers together] short.
 * Leeloo:...Leeloo.

 * General Munro: [after telling Korben about the mission] Any questions?
 * Korben Dallas: Yeah. Just one. Why me? I retired six months ago. You remember?
 * Munro: Three reasons. One: as a member of the elite special forces unit of the Federated Army, you are expert in the use of all major weapons and spacecraft needed for this mission. [unravels a list five feet long] Two: of all the members of your unit, you were the most highly decorated.
 * Dallas: And the third one?
 * Munro: Of all the members of your unit, you're the only one left alive.

 * Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg: This case is empty.
 * [Switches to conversation between Cornelius and Leeloo; Leeloo is laughing]
 * Father Vito Cornelius: What do you mean, empty?
 * [Back to conversation between Zorg and Aknot]
 * Zorg: Empty. The opposite of full. This CASE is supposed to be FULL! Anyone care to explain?
 * [Back to Leeloo, speaking in the Divine Language]
 * Cornelius: The guardians... gave the stones.. to someone they could trust... who-who another route... she's supposed to contact this person... in a hotel... and she's looking for the address. Easy.
 * Leeloo: [points to the computer screen] Dot.
 * David: It's-it's planet Fhloston, in the Angel Constellation!
 * Cornelius: [sighs in relief] We're saved.
 * [back to Zorg and Aknot]
 * Zorg: I'm screwed!
 * Aknot: You asked for a case. We brought you a case.
 * Zorg: A CASE WITH FOUR STONES IN IT! NOT ONE OR TWO OR THREE, BUT FOUR! FOUR STONES! W-WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH AN EMPTY CASE?!
 * Aknot: We are warriors, not merchants.
 * Zorg: BUT YOU CAN STILL COUNT! Look, it's easy. Look at my fingers. Four stones, [Aknot looks away; Zorg slaps his face back into position] four crates [of guns]. Zero stones, ZERO CRATES! [To his men] Pack everything up! We're outta here!
 * [Mangalores hoist their guns with a roar]
 * Aknot: We risked our lives! I believe a little compensation is in order.
 * Zorg: Oh, so you are merchants after all. Leave them one crate...for the cause.

 * Leeloo: Leeloo Dallas mul-ti-pass. Mul-ti-pass.
 * Korben Dallas: [to check-in attendent] Yeah, this is my wife, Leeloo.
 * Leeloo: Mul-ti-pass.
 * Dallas: Yeah, multipass, she knows it's a multipass. Leeloo Dallas. This is my wife.
 * Leeloo: Mul-ti-pass.
 * Dallas: We're newlyweds. Just met. You know how it is. We bumped into each other, sparks happen...
 * Leeloo: Mul-ti-pass.
 * Dallas: Yes, she knows it's a multipass! Anyways, we're in love.

 * President Lindberg: Major Dallas, I first would like to salute a warrior. You are a shining example of this army's might. In the name of the Federation and its territory—
 * Korben Dallas: Mister President, Mister President. Any idea when you're gonna be getting to the point?
 * Lindberg: [sighs] Okay. There's a ball of fire 1,200 miles in diameter heading straight for Earth, and we have no idea how to stop it. That's the problem.
 * Dallas: How much time do we have?
 * Scientist's aide: If its speed remains constant, an hour and fifty-seven minutes.
 * Dallas: I'll call you back in two hours. [hangs up]
 * Lindberg: Hello? Hello? Hello?

 * Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg: It's nice to see you again, Father.
 * Father Vito Cornelius: Ah, I remember you now. The so-called art dealer.
 * Zorg: I'm glad you got your memory back. Because you're gonna need it. [directs his men out of his office] Where are the stones?
 * Cornelius: I don't know. And even if I did know, I wouldn't tell somebody like you.
 * Zorg: Why? What's wrong with me?
 * Cornelius: I try to serve life. But you only…seem to want to destroy it.
 * Zorg: Oh, Father, you're so wrong. Let me explain. [closes office door, places an empty glass on desk] Life, which you so nobly serve, comes from destruction, disorder and chaos. Take this empty glass. Here it is, peaceful, serene and boring. But if it is [Pushes glass off table] destroyed… [robot cleaners move to clean broken glass] Look at all these little things. So busy now. Notice how each one is useful. What a lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created them. Technicians, engineers, hundreds of people who'll be able to feed their children tonight so those children can grow up big and strong and have little teeny weeny children of their own, and so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain…of life. [Desk prepares a glass of water and a bowl of fruit] You see, Father, by creating a little destruction, I'm actually encouraging life. In reality, you and I are in the same business. Cheers.
 * [He drinks the water with cherry, only to choke when the cherry sticks in his throat. Zorg frantically presses all the buttons on his desk in an attempt to get something to clear his throat]

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh (22 June 1906 – 7 February 2001), born Anne Spencer Morrow, was a pioneering American aviator, and the wife of Charles Lindbergh

Quotes

 * The punctuation of anniversaries is terrible, like the closing of doors, one after another between you and what you want to hold on to.
 * Diary entry on the first anniversary of the kidnapping and death of her son Charles Augustus Lindbergh III (1 March 1932); later published in Locked Rooms and Open Doors (1974) ISBN 0156529564

 * There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.
 * North to the Orient (1935) Ch. 1

 * One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay "in kind" somewhere else in life.
 * North to the Orient (1935) Ch. 19

 * Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.
 * The Wave of the Future (1940)

 * The wave of the future is coming and there is no fighting it.
 * The Wave of the Future (1940)

 * Lost time was like a run in a stocking. It always got worse.
 * The Steep Ascent (1944)

 * Dearly beloved — late again!
 * Dearly Beloved (1962) First lines. ISBN 1556524900

 * When the wedding march sounds the resolute approach, the clock no longer ticks, it tolls the hour…. The figures in the aisle are no longer individuals, they symbolize the human race.
 * Dearly Beloved (1962)

 * Him that I love, I wish to be Free —  Even from me.
 * "Even—" (1966)

 * I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable. All these and other factors combined, if the circumstances are right, can teach and can lead to rebirth.
 * Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead: Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1929-1932 (1973), p. 3

 * I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
 * Locked Rooms and Open Doors (1974)

 * Charles was a stubborn Swede, you know, and he himself never felt the need to explain his feelings about where he stood and about past statements. But I feel free now to elaborate on his actual attitudes. He never wanted to be regarded as a hero or leader, and he never had political ambitions. His prewar isolationist speeches were given in all sincerity for what he thought was the good of the country and the world... He was accused of being anti-Semetic, but in the 45 years I lived with him I never heard him make a remark against the Jews, not a crack or joke, and neither did any of our children.
 * On her husband, Charles Lindbergh, in The New York Times (20 April 1980)

 * So dazzling was the spread of constellations that it had the impact of a vision, of some hidden insight. I drove home saying to myself: The dead, too, are like this, blazing within us — invisibly.
 * As quoted in No More Words : A Journal of My Mother, Anne Morrow Lindbergh (2001) by Reeve Lindbergh, p. 41

The Unicorn in Captivity (1955)

 * For a page with the entire poem online click here

 * Here sits the Unicorn In captivity; His bright invulnerability Captive at last

 * Here sits the Unicorn In captivity, Yet free.

 * He could leap the corral, If he rose To his full height; He could splinter the fencing light, With three blows Of his porcelain hoofs in flight — If he chose. He could shatter his prison wall, Could escape them all — If he rose, If he chose.

 * Here sits the Unicorn; The wounds in his side Still bleed

 * Dream wounds, dream ties Do not bind him there In a kingdom where He is unaware Of his wounds, of his snare.

 * Here sits the Unicorn; Leashed by a chain of gold To the pomengranate tree. So light a chain to hold So fierce a beast; Delicate as a cross at rest On a maiden's breast. He could snap the golden chain With one toss of his mane, If he chose to move, If he chose to prove His liberty. But he does not choose What choice would lose. He stays, the Unicorn, In captivity.

 * Yet look again — His horn is free, Rising above chain, fence, and tree, Free hymn of love; His horn Bursts from his tranquil brow Like a comet born; Cleaves like a galley's prow Into seas untorn; Springs like a lily, white From the Earth below; Spirals, a bird in flight To a longed-for height; Or a fountain bright, Spurting to light Of early morn — O luminous horn!

 * Here sits the Unicorn — In captivity? In repose.

 * Forgotten the strife; Now the need to kill Has died like fire, And the need to love Has replaced desire

 * Quiet, the Unicorn, In contemplation stilled, With acceptance filled; Quiet, save for his horn; Alive in his horn; Horizontally, In captivity; Perpendicularly, Free.

Gift from the Sea (1955)

 * ISBN 0679406832

 * I … understand why the saints were rarely married women. I am convinced it has nothing inherently to do, as I once supposed, with chastity or children. It has primarily to do with distractions … Women's normal occupations in general run counter to creative life, or contemplative life or saintly life.
 * Ch. 2

 * I find I am shedding hypocrisy in human relationships. What a rest that will be! The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere. That is why so much of social life is exhausting; one is wearing a mask. I have shed my mask.
 * Ch. 2; part of this statement has often been paraphrased: "The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere."

 * When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others.

 * Rollers on the beach, wind in the pines, the slow flapping of herons across sand dunes, drown out the hectic rhythms of city and suburb, time tables and schedules. One falls under their spell, relaxes, stretches out prone. One becomes, in fact, like the element on which one lies, flattened by the sea; bare, open, empty as the beach, erased by today’s tides of all yesterday’s scribblings.

 * The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach — waiting for a gift from the sea.

 * The shape of my life today starts with a family. I have a husband, five children and a home just beyond the suburbs of New York. I have also a craft, writing, and therefore work I want to pursue. The shape of my life is, of course, determined by many other things; my background and childhood, my mind and its education, my conscience and its pressures, my heart and its desires. I want to give and take from my children and husband, to share with friends and community, to carry out my obligations to man and to the world, as a woman, as an artist, as a citizen. But I want first of all — in fact, as an end to these other desires — to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact — to borrow from the languages of the saints — to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible. I am not using this term in a strictly theological sense. By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony. I am seeking perhaps what Socrates asked for in the prayer from Phaedrus when he said, "May the outward and the inward man be at one." I would like to achieve a state of inner spiritual grace from which I could function and give as I was meant to in the eye of God.

 * I believe most people are aware of periods in their lives when they seem to be "in grace" and other periods when they feel "out of grace," even though they may use different words to describe these states. In the first happy condition, one seems to carry all one’s tasks before one lightly, as if borne along on a great tide; and in the opposite state one can hardly tie a shoe-string. It is true that a large part of life consists in learning a technique of tying the shoe-string, whether one is in grace or not. But there are techniques of living too; there are even techniques in the search for grace.

 * I have learned by some experience, by many examples, and by the writings of countless others before me, also occupied in the search, that certain environments, certain modes of life, certain rules of conduct are more conducive to inner and outer harmony than others. There are, in fact, certain roads that one may follow. Simplification of life is one of them.

 * I mean to lead a simple life, to choose a simple shell I can carry easily — like a hermit crab. But I do not. I find that my frame of life does not foster simplicity. My husband and five children must make their way in the world. The life I have chosen as a wife and mother entrains a whole caravan of complications.

 * By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.

 * Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.
 * Variant: Good communication is just as stimulating as...

 * We must relearn to be alone.

 * One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
 * p. 114

Bring Me a Unicorn (1971)

 * Bring Me a Unicorn: Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1922-1928 (1971) ISBN 0156141647

 * I kept looking at the flowers in a vase near me: lavender sweet peas, fragile winged and yet so still, so perfectly poised, apart, and complete. They are self-sufficient, a world in themselves, a whole — perfect. Is that then, perfection? Is what those sweet peas had what I have, occasionally in moments like that? But flowers always have it — poise, completion, fulfillment, perfection; I only occasionally, like that moment. For that moment I and the sweet peas had an understanding.

 * I saw standing against the great stone pillar — on more red plush — a tall, slim boy in evening dress — so much slimmer, so much taller, so much more poised than I expected. A very refined face, not at all like those grinning 'Lindy' pictures — a firm mouth, clear, straight blue eyes, fair hair, and nice color. Then I went down the line very confused and overwhelmed by it all. He did not smile — just bowed and shook hands.
 * On first meeting Charles.

 * We were high above fields, and there far, far below, was a small shadow as of a great bird tearing along the neatly marked off fields. It gave me the most tremendous shock to realize for the first time the terrific speed we were going at and that that shadow meant us — us, like a mirror! That "bird" — it was us.
 * On her first flight.

 * The feeling of exultant joy that there is anyone like that in the world. I shall never see him again, and he did not notice me, or would ever, but there is such a person alive, there is such a life, and I am here on this earth, in this age, to know it!
 * On Charles.

 * Don't wish me happiness — I don't expect to be happy; it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor — I will need them all.
 * Letter to Corliss Lamont on her engagement (1928)

 * People don't want to be understood — I mean not completely. It's too destructive. Then they haven't anything left.

 * I wonder why I bother to tell the truth when people ask me what I think of this and that and how I feel about this and that. I get so complicated and introspective that people often don't understand and are frankly puzzled and (naturally enough) bored. So why bother! It would be so much easier to say what they expected you to, and everything would be easy and pleasant.

 * I want to write — I want to write — I want to write and never never never will. I know it and I am so unhappy and it seems as though nothing else mattered. Whatever I'm doing, it's always there, an ultimate longing there saying, "Write this — write that — write —" and I can't. Lack ability, time, strength, and duration of vision. I wish someone would tell me brutally, "You can never write anything. Take up home gardening!"

 * 'It doesn't matter that it can't last, that we don't find it more often. To know that there is such perfection, that there has been such perfection — it is worth living for. It exists. It has been — it is''. One can contemplate it and feel complete peace.

 * I have come to believe that you can get along without anyone — that is, without the close contact of any one person. That is a terrible shock to me, but I think it is true. You do need companionship, but wherever you go, in whatever new environment, you will find people who, to a large degree, take the place of those you left...The intimate companionship goes, I think, when you leave a friend, but friendship stays. It is an inherent possibility of relationship that, once admitted — well, there it is.

War Within and Without (1980)

 * ISBN 015694703X

 * Life itself is always pulling you away from the understanding of life.

 * Marriage is tough, because it is woven of all these various elements, the weak and the strong. "In love-ness" is fragile for it is woven only with the gossamer threads of beauty. It seems to me absurd to talk about "happy" and "unhappy" marriages.

 * I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light. … Those fields of daisies we landed on, and dusty fields and desert stretches. Memories of many skies and earths beneath us — many days, many nights of stars.

 * Charles is life itself — pure life, force, like sunlight — and it is for this that I married him and this that holds me to him — caring always, caring desperately what happens to him and whatever he happens to be involved in.

 * He was naming the groups that were pro-war. No one minds his naming the British or the Administration. But to name "Jew" is un-American — even if it is done without hate or even criticism. Why?

"First, they [Nazis] came for the Jews. I was silent. I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists. I was silent. I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists. I was silent. I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me. There was no one left to speak for me." (Martin Niemoller, given credit for a quotation in The Harper Religious and Inspirational Quotation Companion, ed. Margaret Pepper (New York: Harper &Row, 1989), 429 -as cited on page 44, note 17, of Religious Cleansing in the American Republic, by Keith A. Fornier, Copyright 1993, by Liberty, Life, and Family Publications.

(Actually, they may not have come for the Jews first, as it's far more likely they came for the prisoners, mentally handicapped, and other so-called "inferiors" first -as historians tell us -so they could get "practiced up;" But, they did come for them -due to the silence of their neighbors -and due, in part, to their own silence. So the general idea is correct: "Speak up now, or forever hold your peace." --Gordon)

Wikipedia RfA
Hi, Gordon. I got your request for support on your Wikipedia request for administrator status. I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline. One of the essential criteria I use for contemplating potential admins on Wikiquote is the breadth of both article and adminstrative edits that a user has done, and I'd use the same principles for any WP RfA. In fact, that's a major reason I haven't asked to be a WP admin myself — to date, the majority of my article edits have been on song lists and TV episode articles (not a great indicator of a broad encyclopedic editing practice), and my adminstrative edits (e.g., moves, VfDs) have been relatively rare. I see that you are being rather unfortunately savaged by quite a few folks who are bringing up the concentration of your votes around a fairly narrow set of topics (however conscientious you've been on these), which is the same pattern of edits I've seen for your work here on Wikiquote. The best I could manage at this time would be a Neutral vote, as I've been impressed by your research and your diplomacy here, but even so, my input would probably not be any real help. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:37, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Images
Hi, Gordon. None of your personal images have copyright tags. I would appreciate it if you uploaded those pictures to commons under a suitable free license if you want to use them here. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 12:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Abortion
Thanks for your support, I guess? It's nice to know that sometimes people can be respectful even when they don't agree with you on an issue like this. Catamorphism 05:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Your pages
Will you at least upload your images to Commons instead of here?  Cbrown1023  talk  10:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You certainly may, if you wish. I am sure the licensing permits you to do so. However, I do not understand the advantages to having it on commons as opposed to where it is now. Is it not the same difference legally and practically, as it applies to us? (I have heard that commons is sometimes used but forget the differences and specifics -and I don't want to make a simple situation more complicated than necessary.) Thank you in advance for your clarification here -and thank you for your concern and attention to detail.--GordonWattsDotCom 11:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Two points on the images. First, the advantage to Wikiquote of moving images to Commons is that Commons gets the responsibility for policing license issues. Considering our tiny admin staff and plethora of maintenance issues, this is a major benefit, which is a significant reason Wikiquote has been removing images for the past year. Second, as I mentioned at Votes for deletion/GordonWattsDotCom, only Image:GordonWatts.jpg appears to be a likely non-copyvio. The other 2 images seem to be from copyrighted works, but do not have an explicit source provided. (As a lawyer, I'm sure you realize that "image of me" is not a legal statement of who owns the image.) Image:GordonThen.jpg appears to be a montage of yearbook pictures. You may have assembled the montage (although even this is not actually stated) and therefore claim a derivative copyright, but the original images are probably copyrighted as well, limiting your legal right to assert GFDL. Likewise, Image:GordonEnhancedPicRally.jpg appears to be from a newspaper, which is almost certainly copyrighted by someone else. The only argument you might make is "fair use", but the Wikimedia Board of Trustees has declared it rejects fair-use arguments for images used only in the user namespace, as they do not provide a necessary illustration of the project's content, only of its auxiliary (courtesy) pages. Consider also that it should be no challenge for a user to provide their own free image of themselves, voiding any argument about irreplaceability of a copyrighted image. Other images used just because they say something about the user's activities are not necessary to the project's purposes. This is even more apparent when the images include the user's activity in controversial events, which are what earn the label of "soapboxing". In short, there is no need for such images, especially on pages which are provided to users as a courtesy but which are still required to serve the interests of the project. As far as being singled out, I am not aware of any other users we currently have these problems with, but any such brought to the attention of the community should be pursued as well. In practical terms, solving problems on a 10000-article project with only a few frequent editors is basically a game of Whac-A-Mole — we deal with them as we find them and have time to address them. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * One other point: Cbrown1023 is not asking if we can upload to Commons, but if you will. As there are no specific sources stated, no one else can be asked to make the required claim of right to assert GFDL. Without explicit source statements, we are now required to delete images, even without a formal policy about where they should go or what license they should be provided under. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 12:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Jeff expressed my sentiments pretty well (although he was expressing his :) ).  Cbrown1023  talk  21:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you both for the replies. I just took a look at one of my yearbooks, and it does not show any copyright info at all, but I agree that this is a borderline gray area, so I would not object to the yearbook montage (Image:GordonThen.jpg) being deleted. The "GordonEnhancedPicRally.jpg" was emailed to me by someone as a gift. I don't recall who, but it was not under copyright to my knowledge. This image can go both ways. I don't mind if it is deleted, but I don't see any harm in keeping it. GordonWatts.jpg is a picture that a friend took of me with my camera. I would vote to delete the yearbook pics, to keep the business suit pic and to enter a "Neutral" vote on the Rally pic. I shall cast my votes after I see all the latest posts on that page. That should take care of the Commons upload issues, I hope.--GordonWattsDotCom 02:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Result
Per our compromise, I have closed the VfD discussion, delete the images, and have had your renamed (to User:GordonWatts).  Cbrown1023  talk  14:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I saw also that you deleted the practical joke links on the top of my page. I thought they were funny, but I can live without them, so I am OK with that. "I am Gordon Watts, and I approve this message." I only wish that Wikipedia was more fair and flexible like this. (If you peruse my WikiPedia activities, you will see a small number of admins violating numerous rules -and a large number of admins and arbiters doing nothing.) I think the compromise here, at WikiQuote, is OK for all parties.--GordonWatts 02:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called GordonWatts. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GordonWatts~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.

Toy Story

Toy Story is a CGI film produced by Pixar Animation Studios, released by Walt Disney Pictures in 1995. It was directed by John Lasseter, and is the first feature length CGI film ever made. Don't yank my string! (taglines)

Buzz Lightyear

 * To infinity and beyond!

Sheriff Woody

 * Reach for the sky!
 * There's a snake in my boot.
 * [while Sid is surrounded by his own toys, through voice box] From now on, you must take good care of your toys! Because if you don't, we'll find out, Sid. We toys can see... [his head spins itself] everything! [comes to life] So Play Nice.

Dialogue

 * [Mr. Potato Head rearranges his facial features crazily]
 * Mr. Potato Head: Hey, Hamm. Look, I'm Picasso!
 * Hamm: I don't get it.
 * Mr. Potato Head: You uncultured swine! What're you lookin' at, ya hockey puck?

 * [Rex roars at Woody]
 * Woody: [in a bored tone] How ya doin', Rex?
 * Rex: [stops roaring; calmly] Were ya scared? Tell me honestly.
 * Woody: I was close to being scared that time.
 * Rex: I'm going for fearsome here, but I just don't feel it. I think I'm just coming off as annoying.

 * [Woody walks over to the podium (a Playskool Tinkertoy container) and stands. Mike, a speaker with a microphone attached, clears his throat to get Woody's attention and held out his microphone]
 * Woody: Oh, thanks, Mike.
 * [He picks up the microphone. Feedback is heard]
 * Woody: Okay, whoa. Step back.
 * Hamm: [Off-screen] For crying out loud.
 * [Mike steps back until the feedback fades away]
 * Woody: Okay. Thank you. [blows into the microphone] Hello. Check. That better? Great. Everybody hear me? Up on the shelf, can you hear me? Great. Okay, first item today: uh, oh, yeah... has everyone picked a moving buddy?
 * [The other toys are surprised]
 * Other toys: What?
 * Hamm: Moving buddy? You can't be serious.
 * Rex: Well, I didn't know we were supposed to have one already.
 * Mr. Potato Head: [holding one of his arms] Do we have to hold hands?
 * [The other toys laugh]
 * Woody: Oh, yeah. You guys think this is a big joke. We've only got one week left before the move. I don't want any toys left behind. A moving buddy. If you don't have one, get one! All right, next. Uh, oh, yes. Tuesday night's plastic corrosion awareness meeting... was, I think, a big success, and we want to thank Mr. Spell for putting that on for us. Thank you, Mr. Spell.
 * Mr. Spell: You're welcome.
 * Woody: Okay. Uh, oh, yes. One, uh, minor note here. [reads quietly] Andy's birthday party has been moved to today. Uh, next we have...
 * [The other toys are shocked]
 * Rex: What do you mean the party's today? His birthday's not 'til next week!
 * Hamm: What's goin' on down there? Is his mom losin' her marbles?
 * Woody: Well, obviously, she wanted to have the party before the move. [to the other toys] I'm not worried. You shouldn't be worried.
 * Mr. Potato Head: Of course Woody ain't worried. He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarten.
 * Slinky: Hey, hey. Come on, Potato Head. If Woody says it's all right, then, well, darn it, it's good enough for me. Woody has never steered us wrong before.
 * [Mr. Potato Head looks at Mr. Spell, pointing at Slinky's butt then pulls out his mouth and tap his butt with it. Mr. Spell laughs]
 * Woody: Come on, guys. Every Christmas and birthday we go through this.
 * Rex: But what if Andy gets another dinosaur, a mean one? I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection!
 * Woody: Hey, listen. No one's getting replaced. This is Andy we're talking about. It doesn't matter how much we're played with.
 * [Woody gestures Mike to move to him since the microphone's wire is stretched too far]
 * Woody: What matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us. That's what we're made for, right?
 * Hamm: Pardon me. I hate to break up the staff meeting, but... THEY'RE HERE!! BIRTHDAY GUESTS AT THREE O'CLOCK!!
 * [The other toys scream]
 * Woody: Stay calm, everyone!
 * [The toys run to the window passing Woody in a panic]
 * Other toys: Hey!
 * [Mike even joins in the panic, taking the microphone out of Woody's hand]
 * Woody: Uh, meeting adjourned.
 * [The other toys get to the window to see what's going on]
 * Hamm: Ho, boy, will you take a look at all those presents?
 * Mr. Potato Head: I can't see a thing.
 * [He pick out his two eyes and lifts them above the toys to see Andy's friends bringing in presents]
 * Hamm: Yes, sir. We're next month's garage sale fodder for sure.
 * Rex: Any dinosaur shaped ones?
 * Hamm: Oh, for crying out loud. They're all in boxes, you idiot.
 * Rex: They're getting bigger!
 * Slinky: Wait, there's a nice little one over there.
 * Child: Hi!
 * [The boy holding the present turns to the other kid, revealing his present to be really long and making the toys panic. All toys scream in the process]
 * Mr. Spell: Spell: trash can.
 * Rex: We're doomed!
 * Woody: All right. All right! If I send out the troops, will you all calm down?
 * Rex: Yes! Yes! We promise!
 * Woody: Okay! Save your batteries.
 * Hamm: Eh, very good, Woody. That's using the old noodle.

 * [Woody jumps onto the bed and looks at Sarge]
 * Woody: Sergeant, establish a recon post downstairs. Code Red! You know what to do.
 * Sarge: Yes, sir! [jumps down from the table and onto one of the drawers] All right, men. You heard him. Code Red! Repeat, we are at Code Red. Recon plan Charlie. Execute! Let's move! Move, move, move, move!

 * Hamm: So, where you from? Singapore? Hong Kong?
 * Buzz: Well, no. I'm actually stationed at the Gamma Quadrant, Sector Four. As a member of the elite Universe Protection Unit of the Space Ranger Corps, I protect the Galaxy from the threat of invasion from the evil Emperor Zurg, sworn enemy of the Galactic Alliance!
 * Mr. Potato Head: Oh, really? I'm from Playskool.
 * Rex: And I'm from Mattel. Well, I'm not really from Mattel. I'm actually from a smaller company that was purchased in a leverage buyout.

 * Woody: All right. That's enough! Look, we're all very impressed with Andy's new toy.
 * Buzz: Toy?
 * Woody: T-O-Y. Toy!
 * Buzz: Excuse me. I think the word you're searching for is "Space Ranger."
 * Woody: The word I'm searching for; I can't say, because there's preschool toys present.
 * Mr. Potato Head: Gettin’ kinda tense, aren’tcha?

 * Buzz: I just want you to know that even though you tried to terminate me, revenge is not an idea we promote on my planet.
 * Woody: Oh. Well, that's good.
 * Buzz: [puts his head against Woody’s] But we're not on my planet. Are we?
 * Woody: No.
 * [Buzz tackles Woody and the two start fighting]

 * [after Woody and Buzz were left behind at a Dinoco gas station]
 * Woody: Doesn't he realize that I'm not there? [gasps loudly and knees on ground, sobbing] I’m lost! I'm a lost toy!
 * [pause; as Woody sobs]
 * Buzz: [to his "intercom"] Buzz Lightyear mission log. The local sheriff and I seem to be at a huge refueling station of some sort.
 * Woody: [growling] YOU!
 * [Woody angrily starts running to Buzz, but a Dinoco oil tanker truck's honking noise is heard and they look up. Buzz hides while Woody lays down. The truck stops, inches from Woody. He gets up and bumps into Buzz from behind.]
 * Buzz: According to my navi-computer, the...
 * Woody: [quietly] Shut up! Just shut up, you idiot!
 * Buzz: Sheriff, this is no time to panic! [closes his "intercom"]
 * Woody: This is the perfect time to panic! I'm lost, Andy is gone, they're gonna move from their house in two days, and it's all your fault!
 * Buzz: My fault?! If you hadn't pushed me out of the window in the first place...
 * Woody: Oh, yeah?! Well, if you hadn't shown up in your stupid little cardboard spaceship and taken away everything that was important to me...
 * Buzz: Don't talk to me about importance! Because of you, the security of this entire universe is in jeopardy!
 * Woody: WHAT?! What are you talkin’ about?!
 * Buzz: Right now, poised at the edge of the galaxy, Emperor Zurg has been secretly building a weapon with the destructive capacity to annihilate an entire planet! I alone have information that reveals his weapon's only weakness. And you, my friend, are responsible for delaying my rendezvous with Star Command!
 * Woody: YOU... ARE... A... TOY!!! You aren't the real Buzz Lightyear! You're an action figure! You are a child's plaything!
 * Buzz: You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. Farewell. [salutes and exits]
 * Woody: Oh, yeah? Well, good riddance, ya loony! [sarcastically] "Rendezvous with Star Command."

 * Woody: No, wait, you don't understand! Buzz is out there! WE'VE GOTTA HELP HIM!!
 * [Woody throws and suddenly bangs Mr. Potato Head's Toy Parts falling and on his floor]
 * Mr. Potato Head: Toss him overboard!
 * Woody: No, no, no! Wait! Ah!
 * [The toys throw Woody away into the road. The toys cheered as the truck rolled away]
 * Rex: Hooray!
 * Mr. Potato Head: So long, Woody!
 * [Woody sighs and the Blue Car coming towards him. Woody getting hit as the Auto passes over him. Woody looks Buzz and RC arrives]
 * Buzz Lightyear: Whoa! Woody!
 * [RC hops up Woody and keeps driving. Woody found themselves sit in front of Buzz holds the remote]
 * Woody: Well, thanks for the ride.
 * Buzz Lightyear: [pointing ahead] Look out!
 * [They slam into the rear tire of the Auto in front of them. Woody screams and quickly turns the Tire on the Remote Control]
 * Woody: Now let's catch up to that truck!
 * [Woody switches from the remote control and RC speeds up towards the Moving Truck, The toys are busy congratulating one another when Lenny glances and looks Woody and Buzz]
 * Lenny: Guys, guys, Woody riding RC, and Buzz is with them!
 * Toys: WHAT?!!
 * [The toys rush to the edge of the open truck. Bo lifts Lenny up to look through him]
 * Bo Peep: It is Buzz! Woody was telling the truth!
 * [The toys including Mr. Potato Head gasps and horrified]
 * Slinky Dog: What have we done?!
 * Rex: Great. Now I have guilt.
 * Woody: We're almost there.
 * [RC is gaining on the moving truck]
 * Bo Peep: Rocky, the Ramp!
 * [Rocky rush over to a Lever and push down the lever and the ramp starts to lower down. Woody and Buzz look up and come down]
 * Buzz Lightyear: Look out!
 * [RC sped back just before the ramp slams down and sparks flew from the flashing in a road]
 * Slinky Dog: [to other toys] Quick, hold on to my tail!
 * [Mr. Potato Head and Rex grab on to Slinky's tail, allowing Slinky leaps off the truck and onto the ramp. Slinky stretches out to Woody. Woody hands the remote to Buzz and leans forward to grab Slinky's paw]
 * Mr. Potato Head: Atta Boy Slink!
 * [Then all of a sudden, RC starts to slow down, pulls Slinky's front end off the ramp]
 * Slinky Dog: Woody! Woody! Speed up!
 * Woody: [to Buzz] Speed up!
 * Buzz Lightyear: The batteries, they're Running Out!
 * [RC's headlight eyes sag as he slows down even more]
 * Slinky Dog: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
 * [Inside the minivan as the Hakuna Matata song from The Lion King plays, Molly look at the sideview mirror and saw RC with Woody, Buzz in it and Molly squeals. Slinky screams]
 * Slinky Dog: I can't hold on much longer!
 * Woody: Slink, hang on!
 * [Slinky's paws slips out, sends his front shooting back into the truck and knocks over the toys]
 * Slinky Dog: [screams] Ouch!
 * [RC slows down and sputters to the stop]

 * [Woody lights the rocket]
 * Buzz Lightyear: You did it! Next stop ― Andy!
 * Woody: Wait a minute... I just lit a rocket, rockets explode!

 * [the rocket Woody and Buzz are strapped to launches into the air, taking the two into the sky]
 * Woody: [screams] This is the part where we blow up!
 * Buzz Lightyear: Not today! [activates his wings, breaking free from the rocket, and soars with Woody]
 * Woody: Hey, Buzz! You're flying!
 * Buzz Lightyear: This isn't flying. This is falling… with style!
 * Woody: [laughs] To infinity and beyond!

About Toy Story

 * I think the subject matter lends itself to the medium very much. When we started "Toy Story" back in 1991, computer graphics tended to make everything look like they were made of plastic, and so it was a natural subject matter. But with computer animation, we were also able to get the detail: the seams on Buzz Lightyear – the little screwheads holding the parts together. There was an embossed '© Disney' on his butt. All those things made it feel like the audience was looking at it going, "Yeah, I believe those are toys."
 * John Lasseter, "(Part 1 of 2) Toy Story", by Adrian Hennigan, BBC. December 19, 2001.
 * It was the hardest work I've ever done, purely as an actor.
 * This is how you make these movies, you stand there in front of a microphone and you scream your head off for the better part of six hours, that's my recollection of what it was.
 * Tom Hanks, "Tom Hanks Interview: Toy Story"

Category talk:Heads of state

I moved Heads of state into the category occupation & out of political leaders as it seems better to have this as a subcategory of its own rather than a subsubcategory (especially we have categories for both political leaders & politicians & HOS was only in the former). I wouldn't consider Heads of State to necessarily be political leaders either, especially in democratic constitutional monarchies where the Head of State role is purely that of a figurehead.

Iris Murdoch

Dame Jean Iris Murdoch (15 July 1919 – 8 February 1999) was an Anglo-Irish novelist and philosopher, famed for her series of novels that combine rich characterization and compelling plotlines usually involving ethical or sexual themes. Her life-story was filmed in 2001 as Iris.

Quotes

 * He felt neither guilt nor distress at the pleasure with which he was now filled by the proximity of this young creature, and when he discovered in himself even physical symptoms of his inclination he did not take fright, but continued cheerfully and serenely to see Nick whenever the ordinary run of his duties suggested it, congratulating himself upon the newly achieved solidity and rational calm of his spiritual life.
 * The Bell (1958) p. 91

 * The chief requirement of the good life... is to live without any image of oneself.
 * The Bell (1958), ch. 9; 2001, p. 119.

 * We can only learn to love by loving.
 * The Bell (1958), ch. 19; 2001, p. 219.
