Captain Ron

Captain Ron is a 1992 film about a Chicagoan who inherits an old yacht. He, his wife, daughter and son fly to a Caribbean island and hire a dubious Captain Ron to sail them on an adventure to Miami.
 * Directed by Thom Eberhardt. Written by John Dwyer and Thom Eberhardt.

Martin just wanted a nice, quiet family vacation. Instead, he got...

Captain Ron

 * Alright, that's more like it, now you're talking! You can do it, mates! I've never seen such sailors. Not in all my born days, I ain't. Naturals! My God, everyone of you, naturals... [beat; to himself] We're gonna fucking die!

 * [after losing his glass eye] It never did fit anyway. Guess you gotta get 'em custom made.

 * Hey! Uh, leg feels a lot better now, boss. I always been a fast healer, you know. 'Course I believe in Jesus, so that helps.

 * A diesel loves her oil same as a sailor loves rum.

Martin Harvey

 * [Captain Ron has left Martin at the wheel to pilot the boat alone. His wife comes and stands next to him] Isn't this great? Look at this! Open ocean, uncharted islands... Who knows what's waiting for us out there? Come here. [hugs his wife] Log entry: Day two. The adventure begins! What a thrill it is to be leaving the turmoil of civilization behind us!

Dialogue

 * Martin Harvey: We don't know how to drive a boat.
 * Captain Ron: The best way to find out Kitty is to get her out on the ocean. If anything is going to happen, it's going to happen out there.
 * Katherine Harvey: But we don't even have supplies.

 * Martin Harvey: What do you think about Captain Ron? I mean, uh, I would be certainly willing to provide someone else if you're not comfortable with him. I think it's important that you're, uh...
 * Katherine Harvey: No, I think he's fine... I mean, he seems to know what he's doing. He was in the Navy.
 * Martin Harvey: Yeah, yeah, all right... What about the eye thing, though?
 * Katherine Harvey: Oh, honey! I would never fire anybody because they were physically challenged. Frankly, I admire him. I mean, really, when you think about the way he parked that boat. It was unbelievable - I mean, especially for somebody with no depth perception as we know it.
 * Martin Harvey: [not sounding completely convinced of that notion] Oh, yeah, yeah, he's good...

 * Caroline Harvey: Captain Ron, I was wondering. Are we going to be going to any more "human" type places?
 * Captain Ron: Well, you heard of St. Croix?
 * Caroline Harvey: Yeah.
 * Captain Ron: We're going to the island just to the left of it.
 * Caroline Harvey: What's it called?
 * Captain Ron: Ted's.

 * Martin Harvey: [stressing to his family that they need to learn all the things about seamanship that Capt. Ron is trying to drill into them] You gotta' learn the basics.
 * Captain Ron: And, you gotta' be prepared.
 * Martin Harvey: That's right...
 * Captain Ron: I'm not talkin' Boy Scout prepared, I mean big-time prepared.
 * Martin Harvey: [downplaying it] Well, prepared for any kind of normal accident...
 * Captain Ron: This is the Caribbean, guys. "El Caribe." The Spanish Main. The land of hoo-doo and voodoo and all kinda' weird shit.
 * Benjamin Harvey: Whoa!

 * [Benjamin has just moved Captain Ron's beer.]
 * Captain Ron: Hey! Get your hands off that.
 * Benjamin Harvey: I was just moving it, I wasn't going to drink it.
 * Captain Ron: You're darn right you weren't, if you want a beer you get your own beer.

 * Martin Harvey: Slow down! There's boats all over the place!
 * Captain Ron: Don't worry. They'll get out of the way. I learned that driving the Saratoga.

 * Benjamin Harvey: Man. What happened to your eye?
 * Martin Harvey: Ben.
 * Katherine Harvey: Sweetie, that's rude.
 * Captain Ron: No, that's alright. Shark attack, swab.
 * Benjamin Harvey: A shark ate your eye?

 * Captain Ron: [telling how he lost his eye] Yeah, it happened when I went down off the coast of Australia.
 * Katherine Harvey: Your boat sank?
 * Captain Ron: No, no, no, no. Not my boat. My boss's boat. Yeah, we hit this reef. Huge son-of-a-bitch. Ran the whole coast.
 * Katherine Harvey: Wait. The Great Barrier Reef?
 * Captain Ron: You've heard of it, huh? Smart lady.

 * Captain Ron: [to Ben] Hey swab. C'mere. Listen up. Now, the way it works shipboard is, you do your job. You do it good, you get a better job. Maybe you get promoted from swab to mate.
 * [Ben nods]
 * Captain Ron: Alright. Get on it.
 * Captain Ron: [to Martin] Sort've an incentive kind of a deal, huh?
 * Martin Harvey: Ah. Good.
 * Captain Ron: Yeah, incentives are important. I learned that in rehab.

 * Captain Ron: [in a heavy storm] The boss is right. We should be okay. 'Cause I know we're near land.
 * Martin Harvey: Great, Cap. Great. Ya hear that? We're almost there. Explain to the kids how you know that, Captain Ron. Someone translate for General Armando.
 * Captain Ron: Alright, now stay with me: When we left, we had just enough fuel to make it to San Juan. And now... we are out of fuel!

 * Captain Ron: [playing Monopoly for money] Three houses, 375! That's 37 cents.
 * Benjamin Harvey: Well that's... half the money I have left.
 * Captain Ron: Yeah, shit happens. Cough it up.

 * Martin Harvey: [Walks down to the Ship's Cabin] What's this?
 * Caroline Harvey: Monopoly.
 * Martin Harvey: No, this. [Holding a handgun]
 * Benjamin Harvey: Two .45's and a Mac-10.
 * Caroline Harvey: It's this total macho trip, Dad, just ignore it.
 * Martin Harvey: Where'd they come from?
 * Benjamin Harvey: Captain Ron traded the Guerrillas for 'em.
 * Captain Ron: Yeah, I thought we'd ought to have them, Boss. Cause, you know, we're gettin' into pirate waters, here, pretty quick.
 * Martin Harvey: What pirates?
 * Captain Ron: Pirates, of the Caribbean.
 * Martin Harvey: Been to Disney World one too many times, have we, Captain Ron?
 * Benjamin Harvey: It's true, Dad! They come up on you in high speed boats!
 * Captain Ron: You know, I don't believe I've been to Disney World...I've been to DollyWood.

 * Benjamin Harvey: [being chased by pirates] All right! They're pirates of the Caribbean, just like you said Captain Ron.
 * Captain Ron: Yeah, squirt. Pirates are easy to deal with. It's the Cuban cops that you gotta worry about. Grand theft auto is a major biggie here in Cuba.
 * Martin Harvey: Grand theft auto? You stole this car?
 * Captain Ron: Nah, I didn't steal it, boss. I borrowed it. Sort of...

 * Katherine Harvey: What are we going to do?
 * Martin Harvey: What can we do? Look around you. The sun is almost up. We are marooned in an unfriendly country. We have no luggage, no money, no passports and worse still... no reason or explanation for even being here!
 * Katherine Harvey: But we have our boat.
 * Martin Harvey: No dear. If you'll look again, you'll notice that the pirates have our boat.
 * Caroline Harvey: Now, wait a minute. That's our boat. We should do something.
 * Martin Harvey: What are you saying?
 * Katherine Harvey: I think she's saying that if the pirates have our boat, we should take it back from them. I say we fight them.
 * Martin Harvey: Bloodthirsty, heavily armed Cuban pirates against the Harvey clan? It would take a miracle.
 * [just then a 1950s retro car speeds by them]
 * Benjamin Harvey: Look! It's Captain Ron!

Splitting of Quote
The last edit I made was to remove some text (B) from another quote (A) as it was already present as a quote on its own. I am not sure if the edit is right, as B may have originally been part of A and not a standalone quote. My reason for leaving B as separate is that it seems like a slightly different idea from A, and therefore merits being called a separate quote. Please can someone give their opinion on this? DarKNighT 19:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

 * First off, this article incorrectly claimed these quotes as sourced, although not a single one included a source line that allows Wikiquotians to verify it. (Just listing the works in a References section, which in itself is desirable to provide the complete bibliographic detail, is not sufficient, as it would require editors to read the entirety of all the listed works to do accuracy checking.) I have therefore changed the heading to "Attributed". Once these quotes have proper sources, including where in each work to find them, they can be sorted by order in each work (e.g., by page numbers for the cited editions). Once this has been done, consecutive quotes that stand alone individually can be split into two separate quotes (as DarKNighT has already done, but not contiguously) and still retain their proximity. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:25, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your guidance, Jeffq. I came to this page looking for a quote by Sri Ramakrishna and found a typo, so I created an account to fix it. After fixing that, I found a couple more errors, and some duplication, so I tried to fix that. This is my first attempt at editing something here so I was trying hard not to mess it up. Looks like I didn't try hard enough, though :-) I will try to do what you suggested, but time is a problem for me these days :-( DarKNighT 16:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, DarKNighT — I didn't mean to sound so harsh. The beauty of the wiki system is that you only need contribute as you wish and have time for. Whatever you don't get to, someone else will eventually. We have an ongoing problem in folks misinterpreting the meaning of "sourced", so I can get a bit shrill about it sometimes, but that's unfair to new users. Please feel free to make changes at your own pace. Incidentally, your progress from quote searcher to editor is exactly how I (and probably most other frequent WQ visitors and editors) started here, too, so you're in good company. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand your concern Jeff Q. I will provide sources wherever possible in the coming days. -SriniG 04:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to Ramakrishna. --Antiquary 19:44, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Rama is the guru of Shiva, Shiva is the guru of Rama.

 * If you wear fancy shoes on your feet, then you will sing or whistle like an Englishman. In whatever way you apply your mind, that way the mind will reflect. If a pundit studies Sanskrit, then from his mouth the shlokas will pour out very quickly. If you keep your mind with bad influences, you'll begin to think about bad influences. That is the way you'll begin to think; that is the way you'll begin to speak. If you keep your mind with devotees, then your mind will think about God. You'll speak about God.

 * Reality with attributes, saguna Brahman, has been unanimously declared by the Vedas, Puranas, and Tantras to be Mahakali, the primordial energy of awareness. Her Energy is like the rays of the sun. The original sun is attributeless Reality, nirguna Brahman, boundless Awareness alone. Proceed to the Original through its Radiance. Awaken to non-dual Reality through Mother Kali. She holds the key.

 * My Mother is the principle of consciousness. She is akhanda satchidananda; indivisible Reality, Awareness, and Bliss. The night sky between the stars is perfectly black. The waters of the ocean depths are the same. The infinite is always mysteriously dark. This inebriating darkness is my beloved Kali....

 * The one goal of life is to cultivate love for God, the love that the milkmaids, the milkmen, and the cowherd boys of Vrindavan felt for Krishna. When Krishna went away to Mathura, the cowherds roamed about weeping bitterly because of their separation from Him.

 * God is realized as soon as the mind becomes free from attachment. But in order to realize God one must go beyond dharma and adharma.

 * Knowledge leads to unity; ignorance to diversity.

 * Once a man realizes God through intense dispassion, he is no longer attached to woman. Even if he must lead the life of a householder, he is free from fear of and attachment to woman. Suppose there are two magnets, one big and the other small. Which one will attract the iron? The big one,of course. God is the big magnet. Compared to Him, woman is a small one.

 * God is realized by following the path of truth. One should always chant His name. Even while one is performing one's duties, the mind should be left with God. Suppose I have a carbuncle on my back. I perform my duties, but the mind is drawn to the carbuncle.

 * To be humble is to be on the first leg of the journey to purity. The humble has yet to be on the first leg of the journey to purity. The humble has yet to be pure. He is on the way to it. One cannot be pure without being humble, because there is no greater impurity than ego.

 * Spiritual discipline is necessary in order to see God. I had to pass through very severe discipline. How many austerities I practised under the bel-tree! I would lie down under it, crying to the Divine Mother, "O Mother, reveal Thyself to me." The tears would flow in torrents and soak my body.

 * The formless Absolute is my Father, and God with form is my Mother. God reveals Himself in the form which His devotee loves most. His love for the devotee knows no bounds.

 * Disease is the tax which the soul pays for the body, as the tenant pays house-rent for the use of the house.

 * If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be muddled.

 * No book is useful, unless your own mind is open.

Removed quotes
I removed this quote as I found it non-notable:

 * The basis of the Swami's claim is a story that Swami Vivekananda's guru Paramahansa Ramakrishna (1836-86) once, in 1866, dressed up as a Muslim and then continued his spiritual exercises until he had a vision; and likewise as a Christian in 1874. If at all true, these little experiments shouldn't be given too much weight, considering Ramakrishna's general habit of dressing up a little for devotional purposes, e.g. as a woman, to experience Krishna the lover through the eyes of His beloved Radha (not uncommon among Krishna devotees in Vrindavan); or hanging in trees to impersonate Hanuman, Rama's monkey helper. But is the story true? Ram Swarup finds that it is absent in the earliest recordings of Ramakrishna's own talks. It first appears in a biography written 25 years after Ramakrishna's death by Swami Saradananda (Sri Ramakrishna, the Great Master), who had known the Master only in the last two years of his life. Even then, mention (on just one page in a 1050-page volume) is only made of a vision of a luminous figure. The next biographer, Swami Nikhilananda, ventures to guess that the figure was 'perhaps Mohammed'... In subsequent versions, this guess became a dead certainty, and that 'vision of Mohammed' became the basis of the doctrine that he spent some time as a Muslim, and likewise as a Christian, and that he 'proved the truth' of those religions by attaining the highest yogic state on those occasions. As the alleged vision of Jesus was slightly more glorious than that of Mohammed, Ram Swarup sarcastically suggests new horizons to the 'equal truth of all religions' school: 'This difference could provide much scope for future disputants. One school may hold that while all prophets are equal, some are more equal than others.'

 * Elst, Koenraad (2002). Who is a Hindu?: Hindu revivalist views of Animism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and other offshoots of Hinduism.

Conrad Burns

Conrad Ray Burns (January 25, 1935 – April 28, 2016) served three terms in the United States Senate from Montana. He was only the second Republican to represent Montana in the Senate since the 1913 passage of the Seventeenth Amendment. Despite promises to serve only two terms, he was the longest-serving Republican senator in Montana history.

Sourced

 * In 1994, Burns told the editorial board of the Bozeman Chronicle that when asked by a constituent, "How can you live back there in Washington, DC with all those niggers?" he replied, "[It's] a hell of a challenge." When he was asked about the use of the racial slur, he said: "I don't know. I never gave it much thought."

 * On February 17, 1999, while at a meeting of the Montana Implement Dealers Association in Billings, Montana, Burns referred to Arabs as "ragheads".
 * Burns later apologized.

 * In 2000, he offended a Billings woman when he pointed to her nose ring and asked her what tribe she was from.

 * Burns stated that "We've got to remember that the people who first hit us in 9/11 entered this country through Canada."
 * December 21, 2005 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38816-2005Apr8.html
 * This claim, which is false and is directly contradicted by the findings of the 9/11 Commission, drew criticism from those questioning Burns' grasp of domestic security. Canadian ambassador Frank McKenna demanded an apology from Burns.

About

 * The Helena Independent Record, noted that "The senator has drawn attention previously for his choice of words."
 * Feb 28, 2006 http://www.helenair.com/articles/2006/02/28/montana_top/000burns.txt
 * Burns is "an accident that happens again and again and again."

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

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 Tony. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tony~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Using Wikiquote to promote other sites
I noticed that your user page seems to exist primarily to direct Wikiquotians' attention to your own wiki, and that you have even posted a request to another user to visit your site. I hope your sole reason for registering here was not to promote this wiki. Wikiquote has specific prohibitions against using its pages (both article and user) for non-Wikiquote related activity.

Melanie Phillips

Melanie Phillips (born 4 June 1951) is a British journalist, author, and public commentator. She has written for the Daily Mail, The Spectator and The Times. She began her career writing for The Guardian and New Society. During the 1990s, she came to identify with ideas more associated with the right and covering political and social issues from a social conservative perspective. Phillips, quoting Irving Kristol, defines herself as a liberal who has "been mugged by reality".

Quotes

 * For this is certainly not a racial issue. Indeed, one of the many red herrings in this debate is that - if cultural characteristics are discussed at all - the gangs tend to be described as ‘Asian’. But this is to besmirch Sikhs, Hindus, Chinese and other Asians. For these particular gang members are overwhelmingly Muslim men. And the common characteristic is not ethnicity, but religion. For these gang members select their victims from communities which they believe to be ‘unbelievers’ — non-Muslims whom they view with disdain and hostility. You can see that this is not a racial but a religious animosity from the fact that, while the vast majority of the girls who are targeted are white, the victims include Sikhs and Hindus, too. Back in 2007, The Hindu Forum Of Britain claimed that hundreds of Hindu and Sikh girls had been intimidated by Muslim men who took them on dates before terrorising them until they converted. And the Sikh Media Monitoring group described ‘the deliberate and targeted sexual degradation of Sikh women purely because of their religion’ and how a minority of young Muslim men boasted about ‘seducing the Kaffir (unbeliever) women’.
 * Melanie Phillips Daily Mail also quoted in New Statesman

 * For neo-conservatism is a quintessentially Jewish project: a re-sanctification in everyday life of the core values of western civilisation, and the achievement of human potential through virtuous practice. The neo-cons’ crucial insight is that public signals through law, custom and tradition are the key to getting people to behave well. And that is a Jewish insight.
 * The Politics of Progress

 * After eight years in government, Mr Blair has precious little to show for his ambitious plans to heal the divisions in society.
 *

 * Since most of the mass immigration now convulsing Europe is composed of Muslims, it is therefore hardly surprising that anti-immigrant feeling is largely anti-Muslim feeling. The sheer weight of numbers plus the refusal to assimilate to western values makes this an unprecedented crisis for western liberalism. The crisis is forcing it to confront the fundamental questions of what constitutes a country, national identity and the very nature of a liberal society.
 * "How the West was lost" (11 May 2002)

 * I find that Muslims are often allies. Their critique offers a salutary contrast to western indifference and inertia. Muslims rightly condemn the collapse of western moral authority, the failure of nerve that has created our epidemics of crime, drug abuse, family breakdown and promiscuity. They are right to be horrified at the wholesale destruction of the sacred, and the worship instead of consumer choice. They are right to point to the meaninglessness and vacuity of secular society, its arrogance and the paralysis of its institutions. This is, after all, why so many are turning to fundamentalism in Christianity and Judaism as well as Islam.
 * "How the West was lost" (11 May 2002)

 * For the further western society retreats from its core morality, the more it opens the way for Islam to fill the gaps left by Christianity in full flight from its own beliefs. Multiculturalism is predicated on the idea that all faiths are equal; but the fact is that if enfeebled Christianity no longer identifies itself as the spiritual pastor of the culture it founded, then Islam will move into the vacuum.
 * "How the West was lost" (11 May 2002)

 * The Palestinians are a despotic, undemocratic grouping which promotes a religious war against Israel, a democracy, through terror.
 *

 * Thousands of alienated young Muslims, most of them born and bred here but who regard themselves as an army within, are waiting for an opportunity to help to destroy the society that sustains them.
 *

 * Valuable vocational courses have vanished along with the further education colleges that once delivered them. Now all such colleges are universities, every other tutor is a professor and all get degrees which are supposed to be of equal value. But of course this is nonsense on stilts. A degree in golf-course management does not have the same value as a degree in physics.
 *

 * In our libertarian society, where individual choice is all, ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ have come to mean something very different. Liberals took for granted that freedom depended upon self-discipline. Libertarians decided that all such restraint was repressive. The individual had to be free from all attachments to family, culture, nation, institutions and traditions that might fetter freedom of choice. Since every individual was equally entitled to such free choices, the distinctions that were the basis of morality became eroded.
 *

 * Along with the rest of the establishment, the BBC—which, to be fair, can make superb documentaries—has swallowed wholesale the lies and distortions about domestic violence promoted by extreme, man-hating feminism through the vehicle of deeply dodgy ‘research’.
 *

 * The question the multiculturalists in Britain and other European countries have to answer is this: are we a Western culture, or are we to become something else? It applies to Australia, Canada and the United States too. If we are to become something else, who is arrogating the decision to wipe out our cultural identity? Because if we take in enough people who either refuse or are unable quickly enough to assimilate to Western values, belief in those values will not survive.
 * The Multicultural Experiment: Immigrants, Refugees and National Identity (2003)

 * Since World War Two, Britain's elite has suffered from a collective collapse of cultural nerve. Many things contributed: postwar exhaustion, the collapse of the British Empire (and therefore of national purpose), and post-colonial flagellatory guilt of the kind that white western liberals have made their specialty. This left the British establishment vulnerable to the revolutionary ideology of the New Left, at the core of which lay a hatred of western society. As a consequence, the British elite decided not only that the British nation was an embarrassment but also that the very idea of the nation was an anachronism.
 * "The Country That Hates Itself" (16 June 2006)

 * At the heart of multiculturalism lies a radical egalitarianism by which everyone's culture and lifestyle has equal validity and moral stature. The consequence is that people are increasingly unable to make moral distinctions based on behaviour. Instead, minorities of all kinds -- ethnic, religious, sexual -- are not held responsible for their misdeeds because they are perceived as a victim class. So the majority are held responsible instead.
 * "The Country That Hates Itself" (16 June 2006)

 * A continuum links peaceful law-abiding ideological Muslims at one end and murderous jihadists at the other.
 * In an article for The Guardian promoting her new book, Londonistan.

 * The UN was created out of the experience of World War II to defend life, liberty and human rights. Yet now it is providing a global platform for a further demonization and dehumanization of the Jewish people, and the willed extinction of their right to their own homeland. The platform it gives to the NGOs’ global Jew-bashing army is all of a piece with the UN’s own obsessional and deranged hatred of Israel.
 * "Accomplices in hate" (9 January 2016).

 * Yet having been inculcated with the unchallengeable belief that they are victims of white society, too many black people believe that any disadvantage they may suffer is not the result of bad luck, circumstances beyond anyone's control or their own behaviour but must be the product of white racism.
 * "We're giving in to the race revolutionaries", The Times (8 June 2020)

In a country that arose from the ashes of that genocide, the spectacle of Jews being dragged from their homes to be slaughtered, raped or captured, with desperate parents throwing themselves on their children to protect them, was unspeakable. This wasn't simply terrorism. This was a pogrom.
 * Israel has been at war many times. It has experienced many terrorist atrocities and many thousands of rocket attacks. This was something different. Barbarism and depravity against Jews on this scale hasn't been experienced since the Holocaust.
 * "Hamas barbarism is the worst since the Holocaust", The Times (9 October 2023)
 * On the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war which began on 7 October with the massacre by Hamas of at least 1,300 Israelis.

About Phillips

 * "A leftie who saw the light" was the Daily Mail headline over the serialisation of her memoirs earlier this week. But "light" is not the most apt word for what Melanie Phillips sees. There is a lot of dark in her world, a lot of people with moral shortcomings, a lot of hate. It does not seem to be much fun being Melanie Phillips, but she marches on, undaunted.
 * Andy McSmith "Melanie Phillips: The scourge of the Left has joined the world of e-publishing", The Independent (10 May 2013)

 * The Mail writer Melanie Phillips continued stridently plugging the anti-MMR bogus science even when Wakefield's paper was comprehensively dismissed by an authoritative Cochrane review. Shortly after the review found there was "no credible evidence" for a link between MMR and autism in 2005, the Mail published a feature by Phillips claiming "MMR safe? Baloney. This is one scandal that’s getting worse". No surprise that she has also called the science on global heating a "scam".
 * Polly Toynbee "The Daily Mail has turned against the anti-vaxxers it used to champion" The Guardian (13 November 2020).

If you have a source for these quotes, please provide a citation. Quotes aren't considered sourced unless you provide a citation from a reliable (usually printed) source. --Ubiquity 20:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for trying. I moved the two items for which you found reputable sources to "sourced". Because anybody can enter anything they like into Brainyquote, because they never cite sources, and because they are often wrong and never verifiable, Brainyquote is not considered a reliable source. --Ubiquity 18:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I was able to go to amazon.com and search online through Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee to cite all but the last remaining quote. --Ubiquity

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 Winn3317. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Winn3317~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 23:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Quotation Chalkboard

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

The result was: delete. — Jeffq 19:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Quotation Chalkboard
This page doesn't belong in the article space; the single thing mentioned on it seems like it should be at Reference desk. I've put the question up there, and mentioned it on the user's talk page, so I don't think there's a need to keep this page around. —LrdChaos 03:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (3 Deletes; no dissent). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. —LrdChaos 03:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. We definitely don't want this page, even in Wikiquote: space. If someone knows the MediaWiki system, they know "PROJECT:Reference desk" is the place to ask questions. If they don't, "chalkboard" is not intuitive (though understandable in hindsight). I just noticed that we were missing some logical links to WQ:RD, so I've added one to the Main Page (why was this absent?!), one to Welcome, newcomers, and clarified the entertainingly whimsical but rather abstruse advice with the link at the top of Village pump. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:57, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I found out how this came into being. Wikiquote talk:Misquotes for comic effect (formerly Talk:Misquotes for comic effect) had a discussion that included Kalki's quote about Pope saying "ignorance is bliss". It also mentioned some suggested titles for an article collecting misquotations, including one with a red link — "Quotation Chalkboard". Obviously the anon must have clicked on this to post their question about Kalki's statement. (Bear in mind that this conversation took place when Wikiquote was only about 6 months old and had far less than 1000 articles. There was a lot of informality among the extremely small community back then, as they were still "inventing" WQ.) This is an interesting case study in how old discussions can come back to haunt us years later. That's why it's a good idea to write not only to respond to individuals currently engaged in a discussion, but also to inform people who will come across the discussions months or years later.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:17, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Misquotes for comic effect
This was an old instructional (not quote) page that was moved to Misquotes for comic effect last May. Its talk page didn't get moved, so I just did that myself. It is very unlikely someone would ever think to type this in the Search to find this information. In fact, the WQ: version is an orphan as well. We should delete this redirect (and the redirect of its talk page) and de-orphan WQ:Mfce by categorizing it and possibly linking to it from one or more Help pages. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:55, 9 April 2006 (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 Christina. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Christina~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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) 05:44, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

User talk:155.91.28.231

An editor using this IP address recently signed an edit to the article on Albert Einstein. Please do not sign article edits. Credit for edits is given automatically in the article history. On the other hand, one should always sign talk page postings, because these are discussions between editors about the article, and should explicitly identify the poster and the time of the posting. Thank you for your cooperation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Matt Smith

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

The result was: delete. — Jeffq 16:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Matt Smith
Not notable. ~ UDScott 20:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closed. Result: delete (3 Deletes; 1 implicit keep from anon; no notability evidence provided). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, I couldn't find anything on this person or the films he is supposed to have directed. ~ UDScott 20:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. You beat me to nominating this one; a search at IMDb doesn't turn up any matches for the person or the films listed. —LrdChaos 20:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Obviously, Matt Smith is famous, havent u guys seen his movies? Theyre awesome, you guys are missing out. I love his movie called "Breakup.beer.party." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.104.250.115 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)  (UTC)
 * Delete. There are 28 Matt or Matthew Smiths listed in IMDb. If someone can identify which one is supposedly the subject of this article, we might have a reason not to delete it. As for the films this "famous director" is supposed to have helmed:
 * Two Guys Talking: no IMDb record of this exact title; no prominent Google presence; Two Guys Talking About Girls was directed by Steven Pearl
 * Pillow Talk: neither the famous Doris Day/Rock Hudson film nor the apparently obscure 1991 short film lists Smith as participating, let alone directing
 * This Is Not a Pipe: there's a book by philosopher Michel Foucault, but no record in IMDb as a film; the article's phrase "steadily building popularity" is an alarm bell for "non-notable"
 * Breakup.beer.party: also no IMDb record; not one Google hit, with or without the punctuation, spelled either "breakup" or "break up"
 * In short, as of this point, we have no reason to believe this is anything but a hoax or an incredibly obscure person. Unless someone can cite actual evidence from a reliable source that we can verify, this is certain to be deleted. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Jeff Detweiler
Not notable. ~ UDScott 20:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Vote closed. Result: delete (3 Deletes; 1 Keep from anon creator, who subsequently forged additional votes and deleted others; no notability evidence provided). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. ~ UDScott 20:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable, possibly vanity. I had just been in the process of nominating this when I hit an edit conflict adding the VfD tag to that article. —LrdChaos 20:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete: Although the page appears to be inuseful, I saw it some time ago normal and unvandalised with the "BLEH" 69.196.121.87 01:52, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * This user (69.196.121.87) had deleted both my and UDScott's delete votes from this nomination. —LrdChaos 02:12, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided. Weird stuff happening here: (A) Wikiquote's first double nomination (an encouraging sign); (B) one anon vandalizing (or perhaps just commenting on) another anon's likely vanity page. I also found 69's comment confusing; they were apparently trying to say that "BLEH" was the vandalization, not the original text. I've reverted 72.56.10.227's edits to provide the original quote text for proper review. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete because nothing is wrong about an article that doesn't hurt anybody (Such as this one) 69.196.121.87 23:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The above vote is an illegal second one from . This user attempted to forge it with the username "dsantesteban", but I have reverted this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete because this article is an article of Quotes and is not being created with disrespect to anybody. What's so wrong about an article about somebody who is known by many people but not so many? 71.34.10.291 01:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The above vote was forged by . ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
