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

Severe cleanup needed
This article has been flagged for cleanup for half a year for a variety of reasons, including: I have just added a much more serious flag, that of possible copyright violation. It appears that "The Full Tale of Tarzan and Arturo" is a complete transcription, which is not legal.
 * Not following dialogue formatting (see Templates/TV shows)
 * Failure to properly source quotes (in this case, no dates)
 * Failure to follow Manual of style

As this article seems to have regular contributors, I am asking them to address these issues. If the copyright issue remains for more than a week or so, this article may be flagged as a copyvio that must be rewritten from scratch. I highly recommend editors avoid this by addressing the short- and long-term issues immediately. I would be happy to answer any questions. Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Rhodri Morgan

Hywel Rhodri Morgan (29 September 1939 – 17 May 2017) was a Welsh politician and was the second First Minister of Wales. After heading the European Community's office in Wales, he was elected as Labour MP for Cardiff West in 1987. In 1999 he was elected to the National Assembly for Wales, and became First Secretary in February 2000 after the sudden resignation of Alun Michael. He remained head of a minority administration after the 2007 election.

Quotes

 * To say it is a dog's breakfast is an insult to the pet food industry.
 * James Landale, "Collected sayings of Morgan the mouth'", The Times, November 10, 1998, p. 8.
 * Comment on architectural plans for the National Assembly for Wales building.

 * Does a one-legged duck swim in circles?

 * Reply to Jeremy Paxman on BBC Newsnight when asked whether he still wanted to lead the Labour Party in the National Assembly for Wales.
 * Morgan was awarded the "Foot in Mouth" award by the Plain English Campaign on 11 December 1998 for this quote.

 * Morgan won the "Foot in Mouth" award for a second time for this statement, which refers to changes in policing arrangements in Wales.

 * Record of Proceedings, National Assembly for Wales, 14 March 2006.
 * This statement was nominated for, but failed to win, the "Foot in Mouth" award in 2006.

 * I also say to all of you listening in the Chamber and outside that I feel very proud to be slipping the captain’s armband onto my shirt sleeve again today. That is why, in all humility, I ask for your assistance as we seek to do our duty here. I say to this Assembly and to the people that I am not the boss – they, the people, are the boss.

N. G. L. Hammond

Nicholas Geoffrey Lemprière Hammond (November 15, 1907 – March 24, 2001) was a British historian.

Sourced

 * At the end of the bronze age a residue of Greek tribes stayed behind in Southern Macedonia[...] one of these, the "Makedones" occupied Aegae and expanded into the coastal plain of lower Macedonia which became the Kingdom of Macedon; their descendants were the Macedonians proper of the classical period and they worshipped Greek gods. The other Greek tribes became intermingled in upper Macedonia with Illyrians, Paeonians and Thracians[...] in the early 5th century the royal house of Macedon, the Temenidae was recognised as Greek by the Presidents of the Olympic Games. Their verdict was and is decisive. It is certain that the Kings considered themselves to be of Greek descent from Heracles son of Zeus. "Macedonian" was a strong dialect of very early Greek which was not intelligible to contemporary Greeks.
 * "A History of Greece to 323 BC", Cambridge University, 1986 (p 516)

 * What language did these Macedones speak? The name itself is Greek in root and in ethnic termination. It probably means highlanders, and it is comparable to Greek tribal names such as `Orestai' and `Oreitai', meaning 'mountain-men'. A reputedly earlier variant, `Maketai', has the same root, which means `high', as in the Greek adjective makednos or the noun mekos. The genealogy of eponymous ancestors which Hesiod recorded […] has a bearing on the question of Greek speech. First, Hesiod made Macedon a brother of Magnes; as we know from inscriptions that the Magnetes spoke the Aeolic dialect of the Greek language, we have a predisposition to suppose that the Macedones spoke the Aeolic dialect. Secondly, Hesiod made Macedon and Magnes first cousins of Hellen's three sons - Dorus, Xouthus, and Aeolus-who were the founders of three dialects of Greek speech, namely Doric, Ionic, and Aeolic. Hesiod would not have recorded this relationship, unless he had believed, probably in the seventh century, that the Macedones were a Greek speaking people. The next evidence comes from Persia. At the turn of the sixth century the Persians described the tribute-paying peoples of their province in Europe, and one of them was the `yauna takabara', which meant `Greeks wearing the hat'. There were Greeks in Greek city-states here and there in the province, but they were of various origins and not distinguished by a common hat. However, the Macedonians wore a distinctive hat, the kausia. We conclude that the Persians believed the Macedonians to be speakers of Greek. Finally, in the latter part of the fifth century a Greek historian, Hellanicus, visited Macedonia and modified Hesiod's genealogy by making Macedon not a cousin, but a son of Aeolus, thus bringing Macedon and his descendants firmly into the Aeolic branch of the Greek-speaking family. Hesiod, Persia, and Hellanicus had no motive for making a false statement about the language of the Macedonians, who were then an obscure and not a powerful people. Their independent testimonies should be accepted as conclusive.
 * "The Macedonian State" p.12-13)

 * The toponyms of the Macedonian homeland are the most significant. Nearly all of them are Greek.
 * "The Macedonian State" (1989)

 * Hesiod first mentioned 'Makedon', the eponym of the people and the country, as a son of Zeus, a grandson of Deukalion, and so a first cousin of Aeolus, Dorus, and Xuthus; in other words he considered the 'Makedones' to be an outlying branch of the Greek-speaking tribes, with a distinctive dialect of their own, 'Macedonian'.
 * "Oxford Classical Dictionary", 3rd ed. (1996), pp.904,905

 * All in all, the language of the Macedones was a distinct and particular form of Greek, resistant to outside influnces and conservative in pronunciation. It remained so until the fourth century when it was almost totally submerged by the flood tide of standardized Greek.
 * "A History of Macedonia" Vol ii, 550-336 BC

 * Philip was born a Greek of the most aristocratic, indeed of divine, descent... Philip was both a Greek and a Macedonian, even as Demosthenes was a Greek and an Athenian...The Macedonians over whom Philip was to rule were an outlying family member of the Greek-speaking peoples.
 * "Philip of Macedon" Duckworth Publishing, February 1998

 * As subjects of the king the Upper Macedonians were henceforth on the same footing as the original Macedonians, in that they could qualify for service in the King's Forces and thereby obtain the elite citizenship. At one bound the territory, the population and wealth of the kingdom were doubled. Moreover since the great majority of the new subjects were speakers of the West Greek dialect, the enlarged army was Greek-speaking throughout.
 * "Philip of Macedon" Duckworth Publishing, February 1998

 * The first sentence of the actual Life of Alexander lives up to Plutarch's warning words. 'Alexander's descent, as a Heraclid on his father's side from Caranus, and as an Aeacid on his mother's side from Neoptolemus, is one of the matters which have been completely trusted.' While the Heraclid and Aeacid descent went unquestioned by ancient writers, the citation of Caranus as the founding father in Macedonia and so analogous to Neoptolemus in Molossia was not only controversial but must have been known to be controversial by Plutarch. For he was conversant with the histories of Herodotus and Thucydides. which had looked to Perdiccas as the founding father in Macedonia. Caranus was inserted as a forerunner of Perdiccas in Macedonia only at the turn of the fifth century: he appeared as such in the works of fourth-century writers, such as Marsyas the Macedonian historian (FGrH 135/6 i- 14) who on my analysis was used by Pompeius Trogus (Prologue 7 'origines Macedonicae regesque a conditorc gentis Carano'). Thus the dogmatic statement of Plutarch, that Caranus was the forerunner, should have been qualified, if he had been writing scientific history. But because the statement conveyed a belief which Alexander certainly held in his lifetime it was justified in the eyes of a biographer and in the eyes of those who were more concerned with biographical background than with historical facts. If Plutarch had been challenged, he would no doubt have claimed that his belief was based on his own wide reading of authors who had studied the origins of Macedonia and provided 'completely trusted' data.
 * "Sources for Alexander the Great: An Analysis of Plutarch's 'Life' and Arrian's 'Anabasis Alexandrou'", p.5, Cambridge Classical Studies

 * There were two parts of the Greek-speaking world at this time which did not suffer from revolution and did not seek to impose rule over the city states. In Epirus there were three clusters of tribal states, called Molossia, Thesprotia and Chaonia[...]the other part of the Greek-speaking world extended from Pelagonia in the north to Macedonia in the south. It was occupied by several tribal states, which were constantly at war against Illyrians, Paeonians and Thracians.
 * "The Genius of Alexander the Great", p.11, Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd (November 26, 2004)

 * The terms for the Phocians were mild by Greek Standards (one Greek state proposed the execution of all the men) disarmament, division into village-settlements, payment of all indemnity to Apollo and expulsion from the Amphictiony. In their place the Macedonians were elected members. The two votes of Phocis on the council were transferred to the Macedonian state.
 * "The Genius of Alexander the Great", p.18, Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd (November 26, 2004)

 * The Balkan situation was far from secure, with the Odrysians and Scythians only recently defeated and with the Triballi still defiant. Yet Philip was confident of success in the interest of the Greek-speaking world and of Macedonia in particular.
 * "The Genius of Alexander the Great", p.21, Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd (November 26, 2004)

 * "The language spoken by these early Macedonians has become a controversial issue in modern times. It seems not to have been so in antiquity. As we have seen, Hesiod made Magnes and Macedon first cousins of the Hellenes, and he therefore regarded them as speakers of a dialect (or dialects) of the Greek language. That he was correct in the case of the Magnetes has been proved by the discovery of early inscriptions in an Aeolic dialect in their area of eastern Thessaly. Then, late in the fifth century a Greek historian, Hellanicus, who visited the court of Macedonia, made the father of Macedon not Zeus but Aeolus, a thing which he could not have done unless he knew that the Macedonians were speaking an Aeolic dialect of Greek. A remarkable confirmation of their Greek speech comes from the Persians, who occupied Macedonia as part of their conquests in Europe c.510-480. [...] Disagreements over this issue have developed for various reasons. In the second half of the fifth century Thucydides regarded the semi-nomadic, armed northerners of Epirus and western Macedonia as "barbarians", and he called them such in his history of events in 429 and 423. The word was understood by some scholars to mean "non-Greek-speakers" rather than "savages." They were shown to be mistaken in 1956, when inscriptions of 370-68, containing lists of Greek personal names and recording in the Greek language some acts of the Molossians, were found at Dodona in Epirus. This discovery proved beyond dispute that one of Thucydides "barbarian" tribes" of Epirus, the Molossians, was speaking Greek at the time of which he was writing. Demosthenes too called the Macedonians "barbarians" in the 340s. That this was merely a term of abuse has been proved recently by the discovery at Aegae (Vergina) of seventy-four Greek names and one Thracian name on funerary headstones inscribed in Greek letters.

It says about the Fish and Food... Laozi said the same and is extremely commonly attributed to him. I'd doublecheck the source for the Egyptian version. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime." Laozi

A monkey in its mother's eyes
" القرد فى عين امه غزال" literal translation: "A monkey is a gazelle in its mother’s eyes." "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" The correct proverb should be: "A monkey in its mother's eyes is a Gazzelle"

The beholder is the monkey's mother who sees her child as a beautiful gazzelle.
 * I have acted on the above editor's suggestion and changed "monkey" to "gazelle". Egyptian-speakers will be able to judge whether this is correct. --Antiquary 18:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

King Arthur (film)

King Arthur (2004) is a demystified take on the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
 * Directed by Antoine Fuqua. Written by David Franzoni

Rule your fate - (taglines)

Lancelot

 * [to Gawain] Wondering at your good fortune that all your children look like me?
 * Arthur. This is not Rome's fight. It is not your fight. All these long years we've been together, the trials we've faced, the blood we've shed... What was it all for, if not for the reward of freedom? And now when we are so close! When it is finally within our grasp - look at me! Does it all count for nothing?
 * [voiceover] For two hundred years knights have fought and died for a land not our own. But on that day at Badon Hill, all who fought put our lives in service of a greater cause: Freedom. And as for the knights who gave their lives, their deaths were cause for neither mourning nor sadness. For they live forever, their names and deeds handed down from father to son, mother to daughter, in the legends of King Arthur and his knights.

Arthur

 * O merciful God, I have such need of Your mercy now. Not for myself, but for my knights, for this is truly their hour of need. Deliver them from their trials ahead and I will pay You a thousand fold with any sacrifice You ask of me. And if in Your wisdom, You should determine that sacrifice must be my life for theirs; so that they can once again taste the freedom that is so long been denied to them, I will gladly make that covenant. My death will have a purpose. I ask no more than that.
 * What, that some men are born to be slaves? No, that isn't true.
 * Deeds in themselves are meaningless unless they are done for some higher purpose. We have waged a war to protect a Rome that doesn't exist. Is that the deed I am to be judged by?
 * Pelagius told me once there is no worse death than the end of hope.
 * You be my friend now and do not dissuade me. Seize the freedom you have earned and live it for the both of us. I cannot follow you, Lancelot. I now know that all the blood I have shed, all the lives I have taken have led me to this moment.
 * Knights! The gift of freedom is yours by right. But the home we seek resides not in some distant land. It's in us! And in our actions on this day! If this be our destiny, then so be it. But let history remember that as free men, we chose to make it so.
 * My brave knights, I have failed you! I neither took you off this island...nor shared your fate.
 * Let every man, woman, child bear witness that from this day, all Britons will be united in one common cause.

Others

 * Merlin: That sword you carry is made of iron from this earth, forged in the fires of Britain. It was love of your mother that freed the sword, not hatred of me. Love, Arthur.
 * Jols: Arthur says for men to be men, they must first all be equal.

Dialogue

 * Lancelot: [voiceover] By 300 AD, the Roman Empire extended from Arabia to Britain. But they wanted more. More land. More peoples loyal and subservient to Rome. But no people so important as the powerful Sarmatians to the east. Thousands died on that field. And when the smoke cleared on the fourth day, the only Sarmatian soldiers left alive were members of the decimated but legendary cavalry. The Romans, impressed by their bravery and horsemanship, spared their lives. In exchange, these warriors were incorporated into the Roman military. Better they had died that day.
 * Young Lancelot: Father. They are here.
 * Lancelot: For the second part of the bargain they struck indebted not only themselves...
 * Lancelot's Father: The day has come.
 * Lancelot: ...but also their sons, and their sons, and so on, to serve the empire as knights. I was such a son.

 * Arthur: Knights... Brothers and arms... Your courage has been tested beyond all limits.
 * Bors: Yes.
 * Arthur: But I must ask you now for one further trial.
 * Bors: Drink.
 * Arthur: We must leave on a final mission for Rome before our freedom can be granted. Above the wall, far north, there is a Roman family in need of rescue. They are trapped by Saxons. Our orders is to secure their safety.
 * Bors: Let the Romans take care of their own.
 * Gawain: Above the wall is Woad territory.
 * Galahad: Our duty to Rome, if it ever was a duty, is done. Our pact with Rome is done.
 * Bors: Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you. For you. And instead of freedom you want more blood? Our blood? You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours?
 * Arthur: Bors! These are our orders. We leave at first light, and when we return your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can embrace with honour.
 * Bors: I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate!
 * Tristan: Yeah, yeah, we're all going to die someday. If it's a death from a Saxons hand that frightens you, stay home.
 * Galahad: Listen, if you're so eager to die, you can die right now! I've got something to live for!
 * Lancelot: Enough. Enough!
 * Dagonet: The Romans have broken their word. We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough. I'll prepare. Bors, are you coming?
 * Bors: OF COURSE I'M COMING! I CAN'T LET YOU GO ON YOUR OWN, YOU'LL ALL GET KILLED! I'M JUST SAYING WHAT YOU'RE ALL THINKING!

 * Merlin: So Rome is leaving. The Saxon is come. The world we have known and fought for is ended. Now we must make a new world.
 * Arthur: Your world, Merlin, not mine. I shall be in Rome.
 * Merlin: To find peace? The Saxon will come to Rome.
 * Arthur: My knights trust me not to betray them to their enemy!
 * Merlin: Rome was my enemy. Not Arthur. We have no fight between us now.
 * Arthur: You tell that to the knights you've killed before my eyes, whose bones are buried in this earth.
 * Merlin: We have all lost brothers-
 * Arthur: [furious] YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THE LOSS I SPEAK! Shall I help you remember? An attack on a village. The screams of an innocent woman [Arthur sees a flashback of his mother's death]...I ran to the burial mound of my father to free her, to kill you. [Arthur hold his sword to Merlin's throat] I feel the heat of that fire on my face even now.
 * Merlin: I did not wish her dead. She was of our blood...as are you.
 * Guinevere: If you were so determined to leave us to slaughter, why did you save so many? [Arthur slowly lowers his blade]
 * Merlin: My men are strong, but they have need of a true leader. They believe you can do anything. To defeat the Saxon, we need a master of war; why do you think I spared your life in the forest? That sword you carry is made of iron from this earth forged in the fires of Britain. It was love for your mother that freed the sword, not hatred of me. Love, Arthur.
 * Guinevere: It is your destiny.
 * Arthur: There is no destiny. There is only free will.
 * Merlin: And what of the free will of your knights? Did they die in vain?

 * Cerdic: Arthur. Wherever I go on this wretched island, I hear your name. Always half-whispered, as if you were a god. All I see is flesh and blood, no more god than the creature you're sitting on.
 * Arthur: Speak your terms, Saxon.
 * Cerdic: The Romans have left you. Who are you fighting for?
 * Arthur: I fight for a cause beyond Rome's or your understanding.
 * Cerdic: You come to beg a truce. You should be on your knees. [Arthur levels his sword at Cerdic's face]
 * Arthur: I came to see your face, so that I alone may find you on the battlefield. And it would be good for you to mark my face, Saxon, for the next time you see it, it will be the last thing you see on this earth! [Arthur rides off]
 * Cerdic: Ah... Ah, finally. A man worth killing.

King Arthur

King Arthur is a legendary British leader of the late 5th and early 6th centuries, who, according to medieval histories and romances, led the defence of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early 6th century. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention, and the roles of historical figures who might have provided the basis for some of these legends are debated and disputed by modern historians.

Quotes

 * Quotes of Arthur, as portrayed in various works of fiction, sorted alphabetically by source

 * Camelot (1960; 1967) written by Alan Jay Lerner, based on The Once and Future King (1958) by T.H. White

 * It seems some of the drops sparkle, Pelly. Some of them do sparkle!
 * Camelot (1960; 1967) by Alan Jay Lerner

 * Ready my knights for battle. They will ride with their king once more. I have lived through others for far too long. Lancelot carried my honor, and Guenevere, my guilt. Mordred bears my sins. My knights have fought my causes. Now, my brother, I shall be... king.
 * Excalibur (1981), written by Rospo Pallenberg and John Boorman, based on Le Morte d'Arthur by Thomas Malory

 * I must ride with my knights to defend what was, and the dream of what could be.
 * Excalibur (1981), written by Rospo Pallenberg and John Boorman, based on Le Morte d'Arthur by Thomas Malory

 * One day, a King will come, and the Sword will rise... again.
 * Excalibur (1981), written by Rospo Pallenberg and John Boorman, based on Le Morte d'Arthur by Thomas Malory

 * What happiness to reign a lonely king, Vext — O ye stars that shudder over me, O earth that soundest hollow under me, Vext with waste dreams? for saving I be joined To her that is the fairest under heaven, I seem as nothing in the mighty world, And cannot will my will, nor work my work Wholly, nor make myself in mine own realm Victor and lord. But were I joined with her, Then might we live together as one life, And reigning with one will in everything Have power on this dark land to lighten it, And power on this dead world to make it live.
 * Idylls of the King (1856–1885) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, The Coming of Arthur

 * I found Him in the shining of the stars, I marked Him in the flowering of His fields, But in His ways with men I find Him not. I waged His wars, and now I pass and die.
 * Idylls of the King (1856–1885) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, The Passing of Arthur

 * O me! for why is all around us here As if some lesser god had made the world, But had not force to shape it as he would, Till the High God behold it from beyond, And enter it, and make it beautiful? Or else as if the world were wholly fair, But that these eyes of men are dense and dim, And have not power to see it as it is: Perchance, because we see not to the close; — For I, being simple, thought to work His will, And have but stricken with the sword in vain; And all whereon I leaned in wife and friend Is traitor to my peace, and all my realm Reels back into the beast, and is no more. My God, thou hast forgotten me in my death; Nay — God my Christ — I pass but shall not die.
 * Idylls of the King (1856–1885) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, The Passing of Arthur

 * The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfils himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
 * Idylls of the King (1856–1885) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, The Passing of Arthur

 * If thou shouldst never see my face again, Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend?
 * Idylls of the King (1856–1885) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, The Passing of Arthur

 * O merciful God, I have such need of Your mercy now. Not for myself, but for my knights, for this is truly their hour of need. Deliver them from their trials ahead and I will pay You a thousand fold with any sacrifice You ask of me. And if in Your wisdom, You should determine that sacrifice must be my life for theirs; so that they can once again taste the freedom that is so long been denied to them, I will gladly make that covenant. My death will have a purpose. I ask no more than that.
 * King Arthur (1995), written by David Franzoni

 * Knights! The gift of freedom is yours by right. But the home we seek resides not in some distant land. It's in us! And in our actions on this day! If this be our destiny, then so be it. But let history remember that as free men, we chose to make it so.

Quotes about Arthur

 * Sorted alphabetically by author or source

 * At that time, the Saxons grew strong by virtue of their large number and increased in power in Britain. Hengist having died, however, his son Octha crossed from the northern part of Britain to the kingdom of Kent and from him are descended the kings of Kent. Then Arthur along with the kings of Britain fought against them in those days, but Arthur himself was the military commander [dux bellorum]. His first battle was at the mouth of the river which is called Glein. His second, third, fourth, and fifth battles were above another river which is called Dubglas and is in the region of Linnuis. The sixth battle was above the river which is called Bassas. The seventh battle was in the forest of Celidon, that is Cat Coit Celidon. The eighth battle was at the fortress of Guinnion, in which Arthur carried the image of holy Mary ever virgin on his shoulders; and the pagans were put to flight on that day. And through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the power of the blessed Virgin Mary his mother there was great slaughter among them. The ninth battle was waged in the City of the Legion. The tenth battle was waged on the banks of a river which is called Tribruit. The eleventh battle was fought on the mountain which is called Agnet. The twelfth battle was on Mount Badon in which there fell in one day 960 men from one charge by Arthur; and no one struck them down except Arthur himself, and in all the wars he emerged as victor.
 * Anonymous author of Historia Brittonum (c. 828, traditionally credited to Nennius), this is the first historical reference to Arthur, as translated by Alan Lupack in The History of the Britons (Historia Brittonum) · The Camelot Project

 * On a lonely sword leaned he, Like Arthur on Excalibur In the battle by the sea.
 * G. K. Chesterton in The Ballad of the White Horse (1911)

 * King Arthur had a dream, too. Of a world where might served right, instead of subjugating it. His knights of the Round Table were the agents of that dream … and his sword, Excalibur, the Symbol of it. He died, the table was destroyed, his knights mostly slain — yet the dream survived. They became legend — and the sword, the means of keeping the legend alive and vital through the ages. … The sword Excalibur, represented Hope. It was light in the darkness of fear and ignorance and hate. Do we want — have we the right — to snuff it out?
 * Chris Claremont, in Excalibur : The Sword is Drawn (1987), Rachel Summers (Phoenix) to the other mutants, p. 46 - 47

 * My father told me great tales of you. … Fairy tales. The kind you hear about people so brave, so selfless, that they can't be real. Arthur and his knights. A leader both Briton and Roman.
 * David Franzoni, in King Arthur (1995); Guinevere to Arthur

 * For two hundred years knights have fought and died for a land not our own. But on that day at Badon Hill, all who fought put our lives in service of a greater cause: Freedom. And as for the knights who gave their lives, their deaths were cause for neither mourning nor sadness. For they live forever, their names and deeds handed down from father to son, mother to daughter, in the legends of King Arthur and his knights.
 * David Franzoni, in King Arthur (1995); Lancelot

 * I picked up and balanced them all... and found there the blade that suited me the way Excalibur suited Arthur.
 * Robert A. Heinlein, in Glory Road (1963), Ch. 5

 * You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
 * Monty Python, in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) "Dennis The Constitutional Peasant" to King Arthur

 * For many a petty king ere Arthur came Ruled in this isle, and ever waging war Each upon other, wasted all the land; And still from time to time the heathen host Swarmed overseas, and harried what was left.
 * Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in Idylls of the King (1856–1885), The Coming of Arthur

 * And so there grew great tracts of wilderness, Wherein the beast was ever more and more, But man was less and less, till Arthur came.
 * Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in Idylls of the King (1856–1885), The Coming of Arthur

 * Sir, there be many rumours on this head:  For there be those who hate him in their hearts, Call him baseborn, and since his ways are sweet, And theirs are bestial, hold him less than man: And there be those who deem him more than man, And dream he dropt from heaven
 * Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in Idylls of the King (1856–1885), The Coming of Arthur

 * And Arthur and his knighthood for a space Were all one will, and through that strength the King Drew in the petty princedoms under him, Fought, and in twelve great battles overcame The heathen hordes, and made a realm and reigned.
 * Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in Idylls of the King (1856–1885), The Coming of Arthur

 * Know ye not then the Riddling of the Bards? Confusion, and illusion, and relation, Elusion, and occasion, and evasion? I mock thee not but as thou mockest me, And all that see thee, for thou art not who Thou seemest, but I know thee who thou art. And now thou goest up to mock the King, Who cannot brook the shadow of any lie.
 * Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in Idylls of the King (1856–1885), Gareth and Lynette

 * Now I see thee what thou art, Thou art the highest and most human too, Not Lancelot, nor another. Is there none Will tell the King I love him though so late? Now — ere he goes to the great Battle? none: Myself must tell him in that purer life, But now it were too daring. Ah my God, What might I not have made of thy fair world, Had I but loved thy highest creature here? It was my duty to have loved the highest: It surely was my profit had I known: It would have been my pleasure had I seen. We needs must love the highest when we see it.
 * Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in Idylls of the King (1856–1885), Guinevere

 * Whoso Pulleth Out the Sword of the Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of All England.
 * Inscription on The Sword in the Stone (1938) by T.H. White
