Sallust

Gaius Sallustius Crispus (86 – 34 BC) was a statesman and historian during the last century of the Roman Republic.

Quotes

 * As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.
 * As quoted in The Cyclopaedia of Practical Quotations: English and Latin (1894) edited by J. K. Hoyt and Anna L. Ward, p. 508

Bellum Catilinae (c. 44 BC)

 * Satis eloquentiae, sapientiae parum.
 * Plenty of eloquence, not enough wisdom (said of Catiline)

 * Nam divitiarum et formae gloria fluxa atque fragilis est, virtus clara aeternaque habetur.
 * For the fame of riches and beauty is fickle and frail, while virtue is eternally excellent.
 * Chapter I; Variant translation:
 * For the glory of wealth and beauty is fleeting and perishable; that of the mind is illustrious and immortal.

 * Sed nostra omnis vis in animo et corpore sita est; animi imperio, corporis servitio magis utimur; alterum nobis cum dis, alterum cum beluis commune est.
 * All our power lies in both mind and body; we employ the mind to rule, the body rather to serve; the one we have in common with the Gods, the other with the brutes.
 * Chapter I

 * Verum ubi pro labore desidia, pro continentia et aequitate libido atque superbia invasere, fortuna simul cum moribus immutatur. Ita imperium semper ad optimum quemque a minus bono transfertur. (II)
 * But when sloth has introduced itself in the place of industry, and covetousness and pride in that of moderation and equity, the condition of a state is altered together with its morals; and thus authority is always transferred from the less to the more deserving.

 * Sed multi mortales dediti ventri atque somno, indocti incultique vitam sicuti peregrinantes transiere.
 * Yet many human beings, resigned to sensuality and indolence, un-instructed and unimproved, have passed through life like travellers in a strange country.
 * Chapter II

 *  Quod si regum atque imperatorum animi virtus in pace ita ut in bello valeret, aequabilius atque constantius sese res humanae haberent neque aliud alio ferri neque mutari ac misceri omnia cerneres. Nam imperium facile iis artibus retinetur, quibus initio partum est. Verum ubi pro labore desidia, pro continentia et aequitate lubido atque superbia invasere, fortuna simul cum moribus inmutatur. Ita imperium semper ad optumum quemque a minus bono transferetur.
 * And, indeed, if the intellectual ability of kings and magistrates were exerted to the same degree in peace as in war, human affairs would be more orderly and settled, and you would not see governments shifted from hand to hand, and things universally changed and confused. For dominion is easily secured by those qualities by which it was at first obtained. But when sloth has introduced itself in the place of industry, and covetousness and pride in that of moderation and equity, the fortune of a state is altered together with its morals; and thus authority is always transferred from the less to the more deserving.
 * Chapter II, sections 3-6; translation by Rev. John Selby Watson

 * Sed ego adolescentulus initio sicuti plerique studio ad rem publicam latus sum, ibique mihi multa adversa fuere. Nam pro pudore, pro abstinentia, pro virtute, audacia, largitio, avaritia vigebant.
 * I myself, however, when a young man, was at first led by inclination, like most others, to engage in political affairs; but in that pursuit many circumstances were unfavorable to me; for, instead of modesty, temperance, and integrity, there prevailed shamelessness, corruption, and rapacity.
 * Chapter III

 * Ambitio multos mortales falsos fieri subegit, aliud clausum in pectore, aliud in lingua promptum habere, amicitias inimicitiasque non ex re, sed ex commodo aestimare, magisque vultum quam ingenium bonum habere.
 * Ambition prompted many to become deceitful; to keep one thing concealed in the breast, and another ready on the tongue; to estimate friendships and enmities, not by their worth, but according to interest; and to carry rather a specious countenance than an honest heart.
 * Chapter X, section 5
 * Variant translation: It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.

 * Nam idem velle atque idem nolle, ea demum firma amicitia est.
 * For to like the same things and to dislike the same things, only this is a strong friendship.
 * Chapter XX, 4; quoting Catiline

 * Nonne emori per virtutem praestat quam vitam miseram atque inhonestam, ubi alienae superbiae ludibrio fueris, per dedecus amittere?
 * Is it not better to die in a glorious attempt, than, after having been the sport of other men's insolence, to resign a wretched and degraded existence with ignominy?
 * Chapter XX, section 9; quoting Catiline

 * At nos non imperium neque divitias petimus, quarum rerum causa bella atque certamina omnia inter mortales sunt, sed libertatem, quam nemo bonus nisi cum anima simul amittit.
 * But at power or wealth, for the sake of which wars, and all kinds of strife, arise among mankind, we do not aim; we desire only our liberty, which no honorable man relinquishes but with his life.
 * Chapter XXXIII, section 5

 * Omnes homines, patres conscripti, qui de rebus dubiis consultant, ab odio, amicitia, ira atque misericordia vacuos esse decet.
 * It becomes all men, Senators, who deliberate on dubious matters, to be influenced neither by hatred, affection, anger, nor pity.
 * Chapter LI, section 1

 *  Necessitas etiam timidos fortes facit.
 * Necessity makes even the timid brave.
 * Chapter LVII

Bellum Iugurthinum

 * Nam concordia parvae res crescunt, discordia maxumae dilabuntur.
 * For harmony makes small states great, while discord undermines the mightiest empires.
 * X.6

Histories

 * Namque pauci libertatem, pars magna iustos dominos volunt.
 * Few men desire freedom, the greater part desire just masters.
 * IV.67.18
 * Variant translation: Only a few prefer liberty, the majority seek nothing more than fair masters.

Epistulae ad Caesarem senem

 * Sed res docuit id verum esse, quod in carminibus Appius ait, fabrum esse suae quemque fortunae.
 * But experience has shown that to be true which Appius says in his verses, that every man is the architect of his own fortune.
 * I.i.2

Disputed

 * He that will be angry for anything, will be angry for nothing.
 * This had appeared as an anonymous maxim as early as 1844; the first attribution to Sallust yet found is in The Voice of Wisdom, A Treasury of Moral Truths from the Best Authors (1883) edited by J. E.

Misattributed

 * Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude.
 * The earliest attributions of this yet found are to it being a saying of William Scott, 1st Baron Stowell, in History of the Anti-Corn Law League (1853), by Archibald Prentice, p. 54; around 1876 it began to began to be cited to W. Scott, and then around 1880 sometimes to Walter Scott, but without citations of source, including a variant: "Selfish ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude" in a publication of 1907. It seems to only recently to have begun to be attributed to Sallust, on the internet.

 * Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
 * Henri Bergson, as quoted in The Forbes Scrapbook of Thoughts on the Business of Life (1950), p. 442; this only seems to have become attributed to Sallust in the early 21st century.

Quotes about Sallust

 * I think Sallust inferior to both Livy and Tacitus in the talents of an historian. There is a lecturing, declaiming, tone about him which would suit a teacher of rhetoric better than a statesman engaged in recording great events. Still, he is a good writer; and the view which he here gives of the state of parties at Rome, and the frightful demoralization of the aristocracy, is full of interest.
 * Thomas Babington Macaulay, note dated June 10, 1835, in The Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay, ed. G. Otto Trevelyan, Vol. I (1875), Appendix, pp. 410–411

 * Let the prince be ever mindful of Sallust's teaching that neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty.
 * Joanot Martorell, in Tirant lo Blanch (1490), as translated by David H. Rosenthal (1984), p. 245; the bolded portion of this, which seems to be a summation or paraphrase is sometimes presented as a quote of Sallust.

RoboCop

RoboCop is a 1987 science fiction action film, directed by Paul Verhoeven. It features a dystopian near-future, set in Detroit, Michigan. Violent crime is out of control, and the city is in financial ruin. The city hires the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) to operate the police department, in effect privatizing it. OCP is interested in rebuilding "Old Detroit" and replacing it with what they call "Delta City". Before this large construction project can begin, OCP wishes to end crime in the city, and creates RoboCop.

 * [Alarmed, Kinney quickly tosses the gun away. ED-209 steps forward and growls menacingly.]

 * Clarence Boddicker: Slow down, then!
 * Emil M. Antonowsky: What, are you crazy, man?! [Boddicker strikes Emil with his fists]
 * Clarence Boddicker: Shut the fuck up and do it! Just do it!
 * [Cut to Murphy and Lewis in the cruiser]
 * Alex Murphy: Central, this is 1-5-4. We are in pursuit of 2-1-1 suspects. Request backup.

 * Joe Cox: Sure. Mind if I… zip this up?
 * [Lewis takes his eyes of him for a second; Cox punches Lewis off the catwalk]

 * [Emil reaches for a shotgun after Murphy kills his TV watching friend Dougy]
 * Alex Murphy: Go ahead and do it. Dead or alive, you're coming with me. [on radio] Lewis? Lewis? Lewis, I've got a situation here. [to Emil] Okay, tough guy, get up. Get up! Turn around. Spread your legs! That's right. [Murphy hoists Emil to his feet and turns him around]

 * Leon C. Nash: Why don't you let us take over from here, Emil? [Emil spins, grabs Murphy's pistol and throws it in a container. Nash and Minh advance down the steps, shotguns trained on Murphy. As they approach, Emil grabs his own shotgun, pumps it, and puts the barrel to Murphy's neck]
 * Emil M. Antonowsky: Your ass is mine!
 * Clarence Boddicker: No! Not yet, it ain't.
 * [Boddicker enters the room, holding a shotgun in his hand]

 * Bob Morton: You're going to be a bad motherfucker!

 * [Morton tests his new creation.]
 * Bob Morton: What are your prime directives?
 * RoboCop: Serve the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.

 * [Bob Morton is washing his hands in an OCP bathroom when Dick Jones shows up behind him]
 * Dick Jones: Congratulations, Bob. I remember when I was a young executive at this company. We used to call the old man funny names. "Iron Butt", "Boner", once I even called him... "asshole". But there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn. And you just stepped over it, buddy-boy. You've insulted me. And you've insulted this company with that bastard creation of yours. I had a guaranteed military sale with ED-209. Renovation program. Spare parts for 25 years. Who cares if it worked or not?
 * Bob Morton: The old man thought it was pretty important... Dick.
 * Dick Jones: You know... he's a sweet old man. And he means well. But he's not gonna live forever. And I'm number two around here. Pretty simple math, huh, Bob? You just... fucked with the wrong guy!
 * Bob Morton: You're out of your fucking mind!
 * Dick Jones: You better pray... that that unholy monster of yours doesn't screw up. I'm cashing you out, Bob Morton.

 * Lt. Hedgecock: [on megaphone] Okay, Miller. Don't hurt the mayor; we'll give you what you want.
 * Ron Miller: First, don't fuck with me! I'm a desperate man! And second, I want some fresh coffee. And third, I want a recount! And no matter how it turns out, I want my old job back!
 * Lt. Hedgecock: Okay.
 * Ron Miller: And I want a bigger office! And I want a new car! And I want the city to pay for it all!
 * Lt. Hedgecock: What kind of car, Miller?
 * Ron Miller: Something with reclining leather seats, that goes really fast, and gets really shitty gas mileage!
 * Lt. Hedgecock: How about the, uh, 6000 SUX?
 * Ron Miller: Yeah! Okay, sure! What about cruise control? Does it come with cruise control?
 * Lt. Hedgecock: Hey, no problem, Miller. Let the mayor go, we'll even throw in a Blaupunkt. [beat]
 * Ron Miller: [angrily] Lieutenant, don't jerk me off! When people jerk me off, I kill them! You wanna see?! [Walks over to the mayor] Get up. Get up, your honor. Get up. Get up! Your public wants to see you. [He pulls the mayor to the window and puts his submachine gun to his head] Nobody ever takes me seriously! Well, get serious now, and kiss the mayor's ass goodbye!

 * ''[Clarence enters Bob Morton's house, draws a gun on him and brings him into his living room, where he notices two women are sitting down.]
 * Clarence Boddiker: Bitches, leave!

 * [Boddicker meets with Sal in the latter's drug factory.]
 * Clarence Boddicker: I dunno, I dunno, maybe I'm just not making myself clear. I don't want to fuck with you, Sal, but I've got the connections, I've got the sales organization, I got the muscle to shove enough of this factory so far up your stupid wop ass, that you'll shit snow for a year!
 * Sal: Frankie, blow this cocksucker's head off.
 * [Sal's men pull weapons on Boddicker and his crew, who draw their own weapons.]
 * Clarence Boddicker: Ooh, guns, guns, guns! Come on, Sal! The Tigers are playing... [slaps the table] tonight! I never miss a game.
 * [Then Sal jesters his men to lower their guns]
 * Sal: [chuckles] Just kidding.
 * [RoboCop bashes his way into the factory.]
 * RoboCop: Come quietly or there will be trouble.
 * Steve Minh: Aww, fuck you!
 * Steve Minh: Aww, fuck you!

 * [RoboCop enters Dick Jones's office to arrest him.]
 * Dick Jones: You know, I usually don't see anybody without an appointment, but in your case, I'll make an exception.
 * RoboCop: You are under arrest.
 * Dick Jones: Oh? On what charge?
 * RoboCop: Aiding and abetting a known felon.
 * Dick Jones: Sounds like I'm in a lot of trouble. [holds out hands, as if preparing to be cuffed] You'd better take me in!
 * RoboCop: I will.
 * [But before he can do so, "Directive 4" interferes with RoboCop's attempt to arrest Jones]
 * Dick Jones: What's the matter, officer? I'll tell you what's the matter. It's a little insurance policy called "Directive 4", my contribution to your very psychological profile. Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in shutdown. What did you think? That you were an ordinary police officer? You're our product. And we can't very well have our products turning against us, can we?
 * [Writhing, Robocop briefly manages to hold up his gun]
 * Dick Jones: Ah. Still a little fight left in you. Maybe you'd like to meet a friend of mine?
 * [Jones picks up and activates a remote; ED-209 enters the room]
 * Dick Jones: I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.

 * Clarence Boddicker: Hey, Dickey-boy, how's tricks?
 * Dick Jones: That thing is still alive.
 * Clarence Boddicker: I don't know what you're talking about.
 * Dick Jones: The police officer who arrested you, the one you spilled your guts to.
 * Clarence Boddicker: Hey, take a look at my face, Dick! He was trying to kill me!
 * Dick Jones: He's a cyborg, you idiot! He recorded every word you said! His memories are admissable as evidence! You involved me! You're gonna have to kill it.
 * Clarence Boddicker: Well, listen, chief...your company built the fucking thing! Now I gotta deal with it?! I don't have time for this bullshit! [heads for the door]
 * Dick Jones: Suit yourself, Clarence. But Delta City begins construction in two months. That's two million workers living in trailers. That means drugs. Gambling. Prostitution. [Boddicker stops, backtracks into the room] Virgin territory for the man who knows how to open up new markets. One man could control it all, Clarence.
 * Clarence Boddicker: Well, I guess we're gonna be friends after all… Richard.
 * [Jones tosses Boddicker RoboCop's tracker.]
 * Dick Jones: Destroy it.
 * Clarence Boddicker: Gonna need some major firepower. You got access to military weaponry?
 * Dick Jones: We practically are the military.

 * Clarence Boddicker: Cobra Assault Cannon! State of the art "bang-bang"!
 * [Emil takes the launcher from Clarence and blows up a store with it]
 * Emil M. Antonowsky: I LIKE IT!

 * [Boddicker spears RoboCop with a sharp metal pole.]
 * Clarence Boddicker: Sayonara, RoboCop!
 * [RoboCop spears Boddicker's neck with his data spike.]

 * [Seriously wounded, Lewis and RoboCop look at each other across a muddy pit.]
 * Lewis: Murphy! I'm a mess!
 * RoboCop: They'll fix you. They fix everything.

 * [Robocop forces the doors open on a high level conference meeting of OCP senior personnel.]
 * Old Man: How can we help you, officer?
 * Robocop: Dick Jones is wanted for murder.
 * Dick Jones: This is absurd! That...thing...is a violent, mechanical psychopath!
 * Robocop: My program will not allow me to act against an officer of this company.
 * Old Man: These are serious charges. What is your evidence?
 * [Robocop moves toward the TV monitors, and plays back Dick Jones's statement.]
 * Dick Jones: [on recording] I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake; now it's time to erase that mistake.
 * [Robocop plays the recording repeatedly. Jones grabs the Old Man and uses him as a human shield while holding a gun to his head.]
 * Dick Jones: I want a chopper! Now! We will walk to the roof, very calmly! I will board the chopper with my hostage. Anybody tries to stop me, the old geezer gets it!
 * [Robocop aims his firearm in the general direction of Dick Jones, but makes no attempt to shoot him.]
 * The Old Man: Dick, you're fired!
 * [Directive 4 disappears from RoboCop's vision.]
 * RoboCop: Thank you.
 * [The Old Man elbows Jones in the stomach and gets away. RoboCop shoots Jones several times, eventually blowing him out a window.]

 * [Lt. Hedgecock and his team betrays Detroit Police and following Dick Jones' orders to destroy Robocop]
 * Kaplan:[shouts] Hey wait a second!
 * Manson:[furiously] He's a cop for god's sake!
 * Ramirez: Hedgecock you can't do that!
 * Lt. Hedgecock: We had orders to destroy it.
 * Manson: Ah shit!
 * Kaplan:[disgusted and walks off with Manson and the others] You're maniacs!

 * [Robocop escapes into parking level 3 and a police car stops in front of him]
 * Anne Lewis: [climbs out of her car to a damaged Robocop] Murphy! Murphy, it's me! Lewis. [Robocop lifts his arm to Lewis and helps him board on her car]
 * Lt. Hedgecock's man 1: [notices Anne Lewis and Robocop] Lieutenant! Level 3! He's on Level 3!
 * Lt. Hedgecock's man 2: Over here! [Anne Lewis boards her car]
 * Lt. Hedgecock: Open fire! [Anne Lewis drives her car as her former comrade and his men open fire]

 * [last lines]
 * Old Man: [to RoboCop] Nice shootin', son. What's your name?
 * RoboCop: [stops and turns around; to Old Man] Murphy. [warmly smiles and walks out]

About RoboCop

 * Do you find Jesus in your films? “RoboCop” has a metaphor of Jesus. The reason I did it was because, for me, there were two metaphors. One is really Paradise Lost, which is when he comes to his house. He is already “RoboCop.” He doesn’t know who he is. He goes to his house and gets flashes of something wonderful that was there. His wife and his child, and the love of them. That’s lost paradise. He cannot touch, it but it was there. When I made it, this was important to me. It was the decision moment to me. I see this metaphor of Paradise Lost and standing at the Gates of Eden. The other metaphor, is that there is a resurrection. That is why he gets killed in an even more brutal way, because I felt that was a metaphor of crucifixion. Murphy gets killed and resurrects. He is dead and resurrected with another brain. It is very interesting if you read in the Gospels about Jesus being resurrected. He doesn’t say anything anymore. It is monosyllabic. But he, after resurrection, expresses himself monosyllabic with phrases of five or ten words. If you look at “Robocop,” that’s what he does. If you look at his eyes, you slowly start to see what he sees. Most things he says is, put down your weapon or whatever. At the end of the movie, because I was living in the United States, the metaphor is that he’s walking on water. In the front of the water there are the walls of an abandoned steel factory, where we shot. You can see the walls like the walls of Troy or Jerusalem. I put grit under the water so he could walk on water. To make him into an American Jesus, he turns to the bad guy and says, “I’m not going to arrest you anymore. I’m going to kill you.” That for me was the American Jesus.
 * Paul Verhoeven as interviewed by Liza Foreman, Paul Verhoeven Talks ‘Elle,’ ‘RoboCop’ As Jesus Metaphor, The Infamous Scene In ‘Basic Instinct’ & More [Interview"], The Playlist, (December 13, 2016)

 * It’s certainly the most challenging role I’ve ever done. To bring that alive, much of it is thanks to Moni Yakim [the head of the Movement Department at Juilliard], Moni Yakim, the writers [Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner], and Paul Verhoeven. That quadrant of people all infused to make that thing, and Rob Bottin, the makeup artist, and Stephan Dupuis, the guy who put on the prosthetics. I dunno, that was just… I knew I was making a good film. When I met Paul Verhoeven in a hotel room in New York, I knew that, because Paul was directing it, it was going to be great. I knew it was going to have something of a moral opera in it and that he was not going to miss the universal morality in this. He was not going to just make an action movie. And it’s a very funny movie and a brilliant sort of social commentary. When I met Verhoeven, I’d seen all his movies, and I just knew he’d be fantastic. And to be feeling the feelings I felt when I met him… I mean, he was intimidating, but I knew that, with his expertise, he’d be executing something non-ephemeral and awakening certain aspects of social morality that’ll last. That movie will be around forever, man.
 * Peter Weller "Peter Weller on Feminism Sequels and More" by Will Harris, AV Club, Sep 13, 2013.

 * I feel good about playing a robot in that I’m playing a human being who has been transformed into a cyborg. Aside from the action-adventure, the corruption, corporate machinery gone berserk and so on, the heart of all this is a morality tale. It’s like Beauty and the Beast, or the Tin Man of The Wizard of Oz. It’s a great little jewel of a human story.
 * Peter Weller, "Code Name: RoboCop" by Eric Niderost StarLog Magazine as quoted by Robocop Database

 * I worked with a mime for four months. We wanted to take a human being and transform him into a robot, walking in a suit in such a way that was stylized, attractive, yet computerized and the mechanical without being ‘mimelike.’ In essence, we wanted to have some humanity breathe through this robotic thing.
 * Peter Weller, "Code Name: RoboCop" by Eric Niderost StarLog Magazine as quoted by Robocop Database

 * The guys that shot me are part of the military-industrial complex. These ‘powers that be’ manage the police force and are also behind the cybernetic cop idea. They are also the people who are feeding the drug wars, so they can build more robots and fight the drug wars they themselves created! All these people are guilty-not only the people who shot me, but the people who made me, too. When they realize that Robo has found out the truth about them, they try to kill me.
 * Peter Weller, "Code Name: RoboCop" by Eric Niderost StarLog Magazine as quoted by Robocop Database

 * RoboCop, a futuristic story about a policeman shot to death and then revived after all parts of his body have been replaced by artificial substitutes, introduces a more tragic note: the hero who finds himself literally "between two deaths"—clinically dead and at the same time provided with a new, mechanical body—starts to remember fragments of his previous, "human" life and thus undergoes a process of resubjectivication, changing gradually back from pure incarnated drive to a being of desire. (...) [I]f there is a phenomenon that fully deserves to be called the "fundamental fantasy of contemporary mass culture," it is this fantasy of the return of the living dead: the fantasy of a person who does not want to stay dead but returns again and again to pose a threat to the living.

Talk:E. E. Cummings

Re Ezra Pound / revisions
Re Ezra Pound is the most powerful formulation of ee cummings's thoughts or philosophy about life, art, and humanity in general. it would be appropriate as the first quote listed. or possibly as the only quote listed. it encompasses several derivations found elsewhere on the page (in weaker forms), which sit there in a scattered kind of redundancy, with long painful stretches of boldface.

but, i've checked back, and some typical idiot has deleted the entire thing. the one piece was the only thing worth a damn worth knowing worthy of a stranger coming to this page in the first place. and the scumball deleted it without so much as a peep on the discussion page.

to the idiot who deleted it-- didn't just move it, but deleted it, without any stated contention, without an explanation, with nothing but a self-granted ticket of authoritative stewardship:  congratulations on your disgraces.

and no i'm not entering into a battle of reversion with you.

on another note entirely, and yet also on the topic of complete idiocy: the "[un]attributed" section probably needs to get the axe. not only does the bulk of the stuff there appear inauthentic, but the quotes are terrible. i can't even bear to read them again-- i read the section a few weeks ago. i have no idea how anyone could possibly find in those remarks a likeness with ee cummings's style, or his sentiments.

so i hereby abandon the wiki to the dogs. 128.119.232.102 06:01, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I suggest that the correct titles of Cummings's poems be given in the article about him.

Talk:Pope Leo X

I think, personaly, that Leo X was a great guy

No!
Okay, I'm a Catholic and everything, but Leo X was a wicked, evil man!

It has served us well, this myth of Christ.
What evidence is there that this should be attributed to John Bale? On the other hand, is there strong evidence this statement did come from Pope Leo? Further, what evidence is there that John Bale was lying about the claim, specifically if his writings were truthful?

Prince of Persia

Prince of Persia is a video game franchise created by Jordan Mechner, originally developed for the Apple II Computer. Through the various titles, the series has been developed and published by many different companies: the first two games in the series, Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, were developed by Brøderbund; in recent years Ubisoft has developed the games, starting with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

The Prince

 * Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am or why I say this. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none you have ever heard. [First and last lines in the Trilogy].
 * I am the architect of my own destruction. So this is it, what is written in the timeline cannot be changed. Come for me then. In my quest to destroy the sands of time, I have been the one to create them. * Let all who read this know, the courage and valor of those who fought and fell for the Maharajah. We sought the power of the Sands of time, most found only death, my self among them. But the mask of the Wraith gave me a second chance to travel back through time and change my fate.
 * This mural shows the impossible. But the mask of the Wraith gave me a second chance, there might still be hope.
 * You had your chance to take me, you won't get another!
 * I am the Prince of Persia, and the King of Blades!
 * Father, I have brought us honour and glory.
 * Trust not a man who has betrayed his master, nor take him into your own service, lest he betray you too. I learned the truth of this, to my sorrow, the day we arrived in Azad as the Sultan's honoured guests.
 * When a man is faced with his own death, he finds the impossible less of a barrier.
 * He now had his prize, but for some unknown reason coveted the Dagger as well. Well, I would give him what he sought. I would plunge it into his foul and treacherous heart!
 * Finding my way to the baths from here should be easy. I'll just ask the next sand creature that I come across - 'Excuse me, could you direct me to the baths please? Thank You!' 'Don't mention it! I used to be a bath attendant back when I was alive!'. *imitating Farah* 'I'll meet you at the baths!' She orders me around as if I was a servant! It's my own fault. With women, you have to show them you're in charge right from the start, or they'll walk all over you! I've been too indulgent. Probably because I felt sorry for her. Well, it stops now! From now on, she'll have to toe the line. (pause) That is, assuming I can find her.
 * I could marry her! After all, she is a Maharajah's daughter. A conquered one, but still, her blood is royal. . . . All right, I've decided. I will marry her. I'll tell her the first chance I get.
 * My father's army sacked your palace, captured you as a slave; you have every reason to hate me...now you want me to trust you?
 * I had faced my enemy, I had looked into his eyes, and I had lost...everything.
 * ....and though I fought until the desert sands themselves were red with blood; I could not bring back the dead.
 * To live forever...when those I loved are dead, and I to blame? I choose death.
 * (when you die) No no no, that's not the way it happened. Shall I start again?
 * Madness.. what magic is this?
 * Despite all the warnings that I would fail, I have vanquished the Empress and prevented the creation of the sands of time. I have defeated the Dahaka, and fate itself.
 * I had saved my own life- and did not even know it.
 * You had your chance to take me; you won't get another.
 * No, Kaileena, you can change your fate, I have done so! A terrible beast was destined to take my life, but I have freed myself from-
 * I do not want to hurt you, Kaileena... But I cannot allow that to happen!
 * I've been thinking, Kaileena. There is little for you on this island, and there will be less still once I have stood before your Mistress. Come with me to Babylon, you'll have a chance to start a new life, free from the evils of this place.
 * (warcry) For Babylon!
 * This storm shows us no mercy. We shall respond in kind!
 * ...For the first time in my life... I am afraid.
 * Do not worry Kaileena, No harm will come to you in Babylon.
 * You will pay for what you have done to my people!
 * To undo what I have done? Surely you must think I'm a fool.
 * What if...What if Kaileena didn't die in the Past, but in the Present. The Sands would be created...but the Maharajah would fail to find them. They'd never be brought to his palace, and I'd have never released them! The Dahaka will have no business with me!
 * I have seen the error of my ways, and I have atoned for the transgressions of my past...I am no longer that person.
 * Experience has taught me that wishful thinking only leads to disappointment.
 * I am the Architect of my own Destruction.
 * DIE, YOU BASTARD!
 * You will pay for this transgression.
 * I have more important matters to attend to.
 * I will only be given a second chance... to fail.
 * I died!
 * Death! Death to all who stand in my way.
 * Father would be proud.
 * Why is it that everytime disaster strikes I find myself without a proper blade?
 * Just call me.... Kakulookia.

Vizier (Zurvan)

 * Your majesty - I trust you will remember your promise. The Maharajah's treasure vaults lie within.
 * Inside the hourglass is a marvel that no living man has seen. Alas, only the dagger can unlock the sands of time, and it belongs to a greater one than I; a young prince, dearer to his father than all the wealth of India. Perhaps he would oblige...
 * Ah, you must be the Prince of Persia, come home at last! Too late, I'm afraid.
 * Give me the dagger; you have unleashed the sands of time. I can undo what you have done... Give it to me!
 * A wild tale indeed. I have a simpler version. A Persian soldier, lusting for glory, entered the chambers of the Maharajah's daughter, and was slain by me...
 * Farah will make an excellent Queen, after we make some... Modifications.
 * I am Zurvan, God of Time!
 * This is not what the dagger promised!!

Farah

 * Why did I trust you; why didn't you trust me?
 * If it comforts you to mock me then by all means continue, but you are so focused on killing him that you've thrown strategy completely out the window! You could have died...
 * Kakolookiyam...
 * What is your favourite colour?
 * I saw what you did in the workshop, and what the Old man said is true. You are a Prince.
 * If this tomb is to be ours, at least the dagger will be buried with us. And... we are together.
 * You don't understand, I need that dagger to-
 * What is he like... your father?
 * Look! A crack!
 * Prince? You're a Sand monster?... You lied to me all this time! Stay away from me!
 * You are right to be cautious, but fight as bravely as you may, you cannot defeat this enemy! The Sands will spread! They will consume... Everything! I have heard it said that you are kind as well as brave. Please, help me find the hourglass...
 * Prince, There's still something I don't understand... How did you really know my name?
 * Listen to this: [reading] "Love is life, so if you want to live, die in love, die in love if you want to stay alive".
 * I'll cover you!
 * Seven years? What are you talking about?
 * I owe you thanks... But why did you invent such a fantastic story? Do you think me a child, that I would believe such nonsense?
 * Wait... I don't even know your name.

Kaileena (Empress of Time)

 * I had hoped the Dahaka would kill you, I had hoped Shahdee would keep you from the island or the towers would finish you off; I even cursed the sword I gave you and yet you did not die!
 * Be free now Prince, Your journey is at an end.
 * How dare you stand before me and admit failure, You should have died to protect me!
 * You may wonder why I would let this come to pass. So many dead, and Likely more to follow, an Empire reduced to rubble, a Prince cast to the streets and hunted like a common criminal. But I had seen the timeline, and of all the outcomes lay bare to me, this one held the most promise of them all, for the Prince would have an opportunity to set things right. Watch now, see the thing of which I speak...
 * Prince, of all the possible futures, this one held the most promise, but something has changed...
 * Haha, It will take more than a simple sword strike to penetrate my defences!
 * You should know that it was not love that drove him, but duty. I was his responsibility, and he had made a promise, a promise that was now broken and undone. Like all mistakes he had made, the Prince intended to fix this. A noble goal to be certain, but a selfish one as well. For he was motivated to ease his own pain.
 * I have activated the Island's portals. You will travel to his time, engage him at sea and kill him... Kill them all!
 * And so the Prince and Farah separated. She sought to save lives, he to end them.
 * I have seen your future... And it does not look good.
 * This world was not meant for me, but there are others, and I will find my place just as you have found yours.
 * You are wasting your time, I can see the future!
 * As our ship lay sinking in the harbour, The Prince found himself in a city quite different from the one he had left behind...
 * I told you to leave and yet you kept coming back. I began to wonder, if you could change your fate, perhaps I could change mine!
 * Let time run its course.
 * I have known my whole life that what is written in the timeline cannot be changed!
 * They say knowledge is power but I say it is a poison. Knowing the exact date and manner of her death torments her. The closer it draws the greater her pain.
 * Then you know I have no choice.
 * Then I choose to live... And for you to die!
 * Even if you don't want to kill me, you will... The Timeline demands it!
 * Some believed that when the Prince journeyed to the Island of Time to escape death that he returned alone. The amulet destroyed, the Dahaka appeased,the Empress dead, the Prince was free at last. But this is not how it happened. The truth is that he chose to save me from my destiny. In doing so he set me free…and doomed us all…
 * I am sorry prince but only one of us can cheat fate today...
 * Fool! I am the Empress Of Time! I know your every move before you do it!
 * I've already told you. I have foreseen my future to die at your hands. But like you, I decided to change it!

The Dark Prince

 * Now you see what happened when you try to help people? You die!
 * All that is yours is rightfully mine... and mine it will be!
 * You really do have a way with women. Those you don't get killed can't get far enough away from you.
 * I did not spin myself out of the ether, I was not conjured by some mad vizier. I am you! Your rage, your pride, your selfish ways; they give me form and substance!
 * Seasons change, tastes change... but people? People never change, and you delude yourself believing otherwise...
 * You mean to kill me then, to cut me down like all your other enemies? Swing that sword Prince! We've seen how well that works.
 * Do you think you would be here now if not for me? How many times did I save you?  How many times did I unblock your path, take down your enemies, remind you of your mission? While all you did was cry about your father and Kaileena and Farah, how everything bad always happens to you! Boo-hoo, Prince!
 * If I am selfish, Prince, it is because you are. If I am ruthless and reckless and lacking in morals it is because you are.
 * Such violence! Your anger serves only to feed me. So I have to ask, have you really changed? After all I am right here standing before you!
 * Blue? That's not my favourite colour.
 * While I admire your bravado... It would be wise for you to show some respect!
 * I am your untapped potential, your unrealized dreams! I am part of you.
 * Tick tock, Prince. Tick, tock.
 * Time is precious. Time is fleeting. Time... Is something you have very little of.
 * Would you like to have a drink?
 * So what now? Perform another Grand Rewind? Or maybe go back to the Island Of Time to return to a moment where he didn't die, maybe, saving a damsel in distress along the way?
 * Maybe Babylon is better off in Zurvan's hands.
 * You call yourself a warrior!? Ha Ha!
 * I have nothing but noble intentions~
 * You self-righteous BAST---(The prince cuts him off)
 * No no NO! We are so close!
 * No! what are you doing?
 * Do not ignore me! Do not leave me behind! NOOOO! [Last words].

The Old Man

 * Go then, my Prince. But know this. Your journey will not end well. You cannot change your fate. No man can.
 * All hail the Prince of Persia, the greatest hero this city has ever known. You have saved the people of this city and we have come to return the favor.

Dialogue

 * Old Man: The Island of Time. The place when the sands were created. The place from which the Maharaja stole the Hourglass.
 * Prince: And what if I could reach this Island?
 * Old Man: They say the Maharajah found portals there. Where one could pass backwards through time.
 * Prince: Back through time to the birthplace of the Sands… Something terrible happened when our army traveled to the Maharajah's palace.
 * Old Man: You found the sands of time.
 * Prince: Worse… I opened them.
 * Old Man: Whosoever shall open the sands must die…
 * Prince: I was forced to kill those I fought beside. Those I had loved.
 * Old Man: But now an unstoppable beast chases you…
 * Prince: For the first time in my life, I am afraid.
 * Old Man: And you will die.
 * Prince: I used the sands themselves to reverse time. Making it as if the hourglass was never opened.
 * Old Man: The Beast. The Dahaka is the guardian of the timeline. You were supposed to die, so it will catch you and see to it that you meet your fate.
 * Prince: It’s better to try than to wait here for death.
 * Old Man: Madness! Even if you manage to reach the island. You'll still have to face the empress of time!
 * Prince: I will travel back in time and prevent the sands from ever being made. If there are no sands, the Dahaka will have no quarrel with me!
 * Old Man: Go then, my prince. But know this, your journey will not end well. You cannot change your fate. No man can.

 * Farah: So it's true, he was a traitor?
 * Prince: Take this, return it to your father's treasure vaults...guard it well...
 * Farah: I owe you thanks, but why did you invent such a fantastic story, do you think me a child, that I would believe such nonsense?
 * [Prince kisses Farah]
 * Farah: [pushes him away] I said I owe you thanks. You presume too much.
 * [Prince rewinds time]
 * Farah:...Such a fantastic story, do you think me a child, that I would believe such nonsense?
 * Prince:...You're right, it was just a story [gives her the dagger].
 * Farah: Wait, I don't even know your name...
 * Prince: Just call me...Kakolookiyam...

 * Shahdee: You will never reach our shores alive!
 * Prince: For your sake...You better hope I don't!
 * [Fight ensues]

[Shahdee Raises sword and scars the prince]
 * Prince: Urgh! YOU BITCH!
 * Shahdee: It seems the Empress overestimated your abilities.
 * Prince: The Empress?

 * Kaileena: Prince, of all the possible futures, this one held the most promise...but something has changed.
 * Prince: Do not worry, Kaileena, no harm will come to you in Babylon...I promise.

 * Prince: [touches water and reverts back from being the Dark Prince] Water seems to fight this corruption... Why didn't you tell me this?
 * Dark Prince: [chuckles] What? And ruin all the fun?

 * Farah: Do you think you could move a little faster?
 * Prince: You're more than welcome to come down here and try it yourself! (mumbles) Seven years, and still nothing has changed...
 * Farah: Seven years? What are you talking about?
 * Prince: It was... er... figure of speech!
 * Farah: There's something very odd about you.
 * Dark Prince: [chuckles] She has NO idea.

 * Farah: I will cover you!
 * Prince: Please don't; You're liable to hit me.
 * Prince:*gets hit by an arrow* OUCH!
 * Farah: Oops, sorry!

 * Prince: Wait, Farah!
 * Farah: How do you know my name?
 * Prince: Yes...um...I...
 * Dark Prince: I eagerly await your response.
 * Prince: I have heard tales of a beautiful...and brave Princess of India. One who has travelled to Babylon to punish an evil Vizier who has caused her...great distress.

(Farah raises her bow, readies an arrow, and aims toward the Prince)
 * Dark Prince: See? Now she's going to kill us.

 * Farah: Try moving the switch forward.
 * Prince: With my luck it will probably spring some horrible trap, or summon sand monsters, or bring about the end of the world!
 * Farah: Would it kill you to show a little optimism?
 * Prince: Experience has taught me that wishful thinking only leads to disappointment.

 * Dark Prince: With the ability to manipulate time itself, you had the chance to become the greatest king the world has ever known. What wars you could have fought; what monuments you could have erected in your honor; what women you could have kept. But you have failed me, Prince. You grew soft and sympathetic; my attempts to convince you to seek glory fell on deaf ears. So, I bided my time; waiting for the proper moment to strike. You do not deserve what you have been given, control over the world's greatest empire. With the power of the Sands at your command you could rule the world. You have squandered it Prince, I will do it justice, and so it should be *mine*!
 * Prince: You are just a parasite, you deserve NOTHING!
 * Dark Prince: But don't I? Have I not earned it? Do you think you'd still be here if not for me? How many times did I save you? How many times have I unblocked your path, cut down your enemies, remind you of your mission? While all you did was cry about your father, and Kaileena, and Farah, how everything bad always happens to you. Boo hoo, Prince!
 * Prince: Your words are empty, have always been empty. You are just a desperate, selfish spirit.
 * Dark Prince: If I am selfish, Prince, it is because *you* are. If I am ruthless and reckless and lacking in morals, it is because *you* are. I did not spin myself from out of the ether, I was not conjured by some mad vizier; I am *YOU*.
 * Prince: No, I have seen the error of my ways, and I have atoned for the transgressions of my past. I am no longer that person.
 * Dark Prince: Seasons change, tastes change. But people... people never change. You delude yourself believing otherwise. Do not fight me. Set down your sword; embrace me. Do you mean to kill me then, to cut me down like all your other enemies? SWING THAT SWORD, PRINCE! We'll see how well that works. Such violence, your anger serves only to feed me. So I have to ask, have you really changed? After all, I'm still right here standing before you.

Prince of Persia (2008)

 * Elika: I just want to know that I can rely on you... people can... well they can…
 * Prince: And you have a lot of experience with people?
 * Elika: I have experience of men doing stupid things for women!
 * Prince: Well I only ever do stupid things for myself

 * Prince: You're an attractive lady.
 * Elika: I've got a brain too.
 * Prince: Pity you're wasting both!
 * Elika: And you're the one to lecture me on that?
 * Prince: I've good looks and brain then?
 * Elika: One you rely on too much and the one you don't use at all!
 * Prince: There is nothing wrong with a good look!
 * Elika: Gold glitters, but it's what you buy with it that counts.

 * Prince: The corrupted sold their souls? What's the going rate?

 * Prince: We'll be fine… I hope…

 * Elika: I'm alright… it's nothing…
 * Prince: It looks like it…

 * Prince: Say, the next time you want to win your daughter back, you could just try giving her a pony, the apocalypse doesn't really cut it!

 * Prince: I hope that hurt!
 * Elika: He can't hear you.
 * Prince: He can't?! And you're an ugly mother too!
 * [Elika gives him a look]
 * Prince: What?

 * Prince: See, you don't always have to wait for things; you have to make things happen!
 * Elika: Is that so?
 * Prince: Look around you, we could die in the next five minutes, then where would waiting have got you? I'd rather die trying than waiting…
 * Elika: Maybe you're right… if you want something… if you REALLY want something, you shouldn’t wait…
 * Prince: Yeah?
 * Elika: So? What are we waiting for? [walks away]

 * Prince: Scary guy this alchemist then?
 * Elika: He can make the corruption act for him, he shapes it, makes it become what he wishes.
 * Prince: There was a potter I knew like that… oh the things she could do with her hands.

 * Prince: Hrrm… imagine this, full of water, surrounded by nature, your own private oasis in the middle of desert, hey Princess?
 * Elika: That's me! All about excess!
 * Prince: Did you have your own hand maidens too?
 * Elika: You can feed that part of your imagination yourself!

 * Prince: Run, jump, ... die, repeat..., run, jump, ... die, repeat... I'm starting to get the hang of this...

 * Prince: Much more of this and I might start talking to myself... No you won't... No, I might, really.

 * Prince: Anything else you think you should be telling me?
 * Elika: You're an idiot.

 * Elika: Patience brings its own rewards.
 * Prince: So does walking into a harem covered in chocolate.

 * Prince: Why did you have cages in your town square.
 * Elika: How do you think we scared our children? 'Be good, or you'll go in the cage and Ahriman will get you'.
 * Prince: For real?
 * Elika: We held animals in there for market, you idiot.

 * [Prince jumps off the tower and Elika saves him]
 * Elika: You idiot.
 * Prince: I knew you'd catch me.
 * Elika: What if I was unconscious?
 * Prince: ...I didn't think of that.

 * Prince: You can't act like this. Giving up now is like you didn't even care that you lost those things.
 * Elika: That's a good speech. Where'd you pick it up?
 * Prince: Two silver coins from a fortune-teller in Babylon.

 * Elika: Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me? You're not doing it for me, are you? I've seen how you look at me... I've seen that look before...
 * Prince: Now look, you're cute, but not 'stay to fight a dark god' cute.
 * Elika: Would you have helped... if my father had asked you?
 * Prince: He's not that cute either.

 * Elika: Wow compared to you I'm a saint!
 * Prince: Hey, I've helped many little old ladies in my day.
 * Elika: Yeah only if they had attractive daughters.
 * Prince: Then I helped them too!

 * Prince: Want to play a game? Come on, it'll be fun!
 * Elika: The World's about to end and you want to play a game?!
 * Prince: Might as well die happy.
 * Elika: What sort of game is this?
 * Prince: Well, I see something and you have to guess what it is.
 * Elika: How can I guess that?
 * Prince: You just guess.
 * Elika: Grass.
 * Prince: No.
 * Elika: Rock.
 * Prince: No.
 * Elika: This is a stupid game.

 * Prince: Want another go?
 * Elika: No... Path.
 * Prince: No.
 * Elika: This is impossible!

 * Prince: The game would be easier if we played it by the rules.
 * Elika: There are rules?
 * Prince: Yeah. I tell you the first letter.
 * Elika: Then why didn't you do that?
 * Prince: You didn't give me a chance.
 * Elika: *sigh* Can we get to the Fertile Ground?..

 * Prince: S.
 * Elika: Are you still playing that game?
 * Prince: S.
 * Elika: Sky.
 * Prince: Hey! You got it! Okay, your turn.

 * Prince: Come on, your turn.
 * Elika: For what? Uhm... C.
 * Prince: Corruption.
 * Elika: Yes. Can we go on?

 * Prince: S.
 * Elika: Sky again?
 * Prince: Now you're getting it!
 * Elika: You picked 'sky' again?
 * Prince: No, but you're getting the hang of the rules.
 * Elika: Ah, thanks, they're so complex I was worried they might evade me.

 * Prince: S.
 * Elika: Scar.
 * Prince: No.
 * Elika: Scarf??
 * Prince: No.
 * Elika: Shrine?
 * Prince: Aha! No.
 * Elika: I give up.
 * Prince: It's too soon to give up.
 * Elika: I give up!
 * Prince: Soulless Follower of Ahriman!
 * Elika: I am amazed no one threw you overboard on your sea trips.

 * Prince: G.
 * Elika: Are you still playing?
 * Prince: G!
 * Elika: Gauntlet.
 * Prince: Yes!
 * Elika: You wanna make this game harder?

 * Prince: Wanna play the game again for forfeits?
 * Elika: No.

 * Prince: Ugh. I wish I hadn't eaten that curry goat.

 * Prince: Girl falling down the sky, should have taken that as a sign. Nothing is that easy.
 * Elika: If you need any consolation, I was glad you were there to land on.

 * Prince: Nice collection of dust you have here.

 * Prince: I'm not here. Someone else is doing this crazy stuff.

 * Prince: And I thought today was going to be a quiet day.
 * Elika: Huh, you should've changed your fortune teller.

 * Prince: How did I get into this...and what is this that I've got into?

 * Prince: This place is the back of the back of beyond.

 * Prince: Is this an average day for you?
 * Elika: Does it look like it?

 * Prince: He isn't exactly polite; he barely knows us and he's trying to kill us.

 * Prince: Sure, climb up the roof. It's not like gravity killed anyone.

 * Prince: [astonished] You're good!
 * Elika: Better than you know.

 * Elika: [pointing to the Hunter] He needs to get away from there!
 * Prince: Hey! Get away from there!
 * [the Hunter descends to them]
 * Prince: There you go.
 * Elika: No, here we go.
 * Prince: Oh oh.
 * [after defeating the enemy]
 * Prince: Now that should teach you something!

 * Prince: Aw! Don't pull so hard!

 * Prince: Sharp sword and empty horizon. Sometimes that's all a man needs... sometimes.

 * Prince: Anything to eat around here? I'm getting hungry.

 * Prince: How do I get myself into these messes?

 * Prince: Heard about magic, talked about magic. Never seen it before.

 * Prince: There's more adventure here than in your average life span.

 * Prince: I had to get here 200 years after civilization left.

 * Prince: This day is gonna age me a month.

 * Prince: I should have listened more to my mother.

 * Prince: These trousers were new!

 * Prince: Temple, yes. Altar girls and gold, no. This place needs a lot of work.

 * Prince: Temple guards, pirates, crazed mobs... huh, those were the good times.

 * Prince: I like your top.
 * Elika: I think I have a spare if you'd like it.

 * Prince: Corruption... looks bad, feels bad... smells terrible.

 * Prince: Ready to face certain death again?

 * Prince: Ah, I'm really starting to feel this in my shoulders. You couldn't give my a back rub, could you?
 * Elika: That's right; I couldn't.

 * Prince: Settle down, find a girl, adventuring will kill you. I think my mother was right.

 * Prince: Gods, monsters, crazy women... [laughs] What's the difference?

 * Prince: I hope that smell isn't me... or you.

 * Prince: This place is crazier than a boat shop in a desert town.

 * Prince: Ahriman, Ormazd, corruption, corrupted. Why couldn't I have fallen in a canyon full of lost amazons?

 * Prince: More of this and I'll be wearing out my gauntlet.
 * Elika: Where did you get that thing anyway?
 * Prince: Oh, you know... just... found it.

 * Prince: Rocks dropped on me, monsters coming from the grounds, dark gods... What did I do wrong?

 * Prince: [starts humming] Doo doo doo... Oh sorry, I forgot you were there.

 * Prince: Do corruption stains come out?

 * Prince: Well they said I couldn't find my own donkey in a sandstorm, well here I am and proving them right.

 * Prince: Oh, you're heavier than you look!

 * Prince: I think we just found another way to get killed. Is this ever going to stop?

 * Prince: It's much nicer now; nothing’s trying to kill us.

 * Prince: Nice little trap… shall we take the bait again?

 * Prince: How are you gonna spend your day? Oh, I don't know. Maybe I'm gonna get eaten?

 * [the Hunter comes down from the windmill]
 * Prince: Finally something I can hit!

 * Prince: Dying is easy, staying alive is hard. But I like the challenge.

 * Prince: There are plenty of ways to get killed in this place.

 * Prince: I'm going to have blisters on my blisters by the time we finish.

 * Prince: I'm trying not to think. If I realize what's happening here, I might just lose it.

 * Prince: Do you believe it? I've still got sand in my shoes… and worse places!

 * Prince: You're pretty fit for a princess.

 * Prince: Much more running! I'm gonna need new shoes and new feet!

 * Prince: Here I am fighting someone else's war. The one thing that I didn't want to do with my life.

 * [at the corrupted Temple]
 * Prince: When I die I want to come to a place exactly… unlike this.

 * Prince: You don't act like a princess.
 * Elika: How do princesses act?
 * Prince: All the money, none of the sense. Don't know which end of a camel eat and which end-
 * Elika: I know which end of a camel does what.
 * Prince: A princess. A real princess.
 * Elika: What about you? Who are you?
 * Prince: There's not a lot to tell.

 * Prince: Your turn to tell me something.
 * Elika: You've still not said where you got the gold.
 * Prince: I found it.
 * Elika: You found it... You're a thief!
 * Prince: I'm an adventurer.
 * Elika: You're a thief!
 * Prince: I reclaim abandoned property.

 * Prince: I was a few days from here. I'd heard rumours of a tomb. A little bit of digging, a small amout of hiding and... Forget one donkey. I could've loaded twenty, thirty... If those guards hadn't turned up. Still, I got away with enough to keep life pleasurable for a few more years.
 * Elika: You robbed the dead?!
 * Prince: It's a lot easier than robbing the living...

 * Prince: [to himself] Why am I being punished? Sure, I took a little gold, but the owner had been dead for three hundred years. It's not like he was going to do anything with it.

 * Elika: Who's out there waiting for you?
 * Prince: Whole world full of people.
 * Elika: Is there no one you've got close to?
 * Prince: Trust yourself and you don't need to.
 * Elika: Trusting your own judgement can get lonely.
 * Prince: You rely on someone else, they'll just let you down.
 * Elika: You haven't let me down.
 * Prince: You haven't known me long enough.

 * Elika: Tell me about your family.
 * Prince: I don't have a family.
 * Elika: Well, you come from somewhere.
 * Prince: Yes, and I'm going somewhere else.

 * Prince: You had to pick this religion? You couldn't have picked one where all the evil creatures were I don't know... slightly angry sheep?

 * Prince: This part looks a bit tricky.
 * Elika: Worried that you may break a nail?
 * Prince: Now that’s humor.

 * Prince: Keep your eyes open.
 * Elika: Why are you so jumpy?
 * Prince: I'm not jumpy. There's 'quiet' and 'too quiet'.

 * Elika: Everything looks quiet.
 * Prince: Don't say it's quiet, don't ever say it's quiet.

 * Prince: Now what?
 * Elika: That way, on the plate.
 * Prince: Have you guys never heard of stairs?

 * Prince: You know, I've thought about settling down… Milling flour for a living.
 * Elika: Really?
 * Prince: (laughs) Are you kidding? How boring would that be?!

 * Prince: I've never seen a girl… you know… do… what you do…
 * Elika: You must have been looking for girls in the wrong places.

 * Prince: I thought this was all a legend!
 * Elika: I thought this was all there was.

 * [when the Hunter made them drop down]
 * Prince: You think you got us? You think it's easy? We're coming back for you!
 * [Prince stays silent for a few seconds]
 * Prince: … If we can find a way out of here.

 * [to Elika]
 * Prince: Here take my hand. Hey, take all of me!

 * [at the last battle with the Alchemist]
 * Prince: Hey, I'm a legend! I'll live forever anyway!
 * [the Prince stays silent for a second]
 * Prince: Wow… that sounded better in my head than out loud.

 * Prince: Now it's your turn. Tell me something about you.
 * Elika: Like what?
 * Prince: I don't know… something like… your last boyfriend?
 * Elika: Never had one.
 * Prince: Never?
 * Elika: Never.

 * Prince: If you never had a boyfriend… then…
 * Elika: I'm very well read.
 * Prince: But sometimes it's better to experience in person.

 * Prince: Well, here we are… the both of us… in the dark
 * [the shadow monsters screech]
 * Elika: Saved by the yell.

 * [after the Prince fell]
 * Elika: Watch your footing.
 * Prince: I did; I watched it fall away.

 * Elika: In Ormazd his name…
 * Prince: That's it, keep praying; keep praying for the both of us! It's very generous of you to risk my life for your God!

 * Ahriman: She is dead. Dead for eternity, but I will be free.
 * Ahriman: I shall be free. Where then will the light be? What candle will shine in the darkness now that she is gone?
 * Ahriman: The power of this place wanes, and when I am free, she will already have been forgotten.
 * Ahriman: She has blinded you with her light, burned you with her will until it became yours. Reclaim your destiny.
 * Ahriman: What injury have I done to you that you have not done to me?

 * Elika: You rob the graves!
 * Prince: It's called Tomb Raiding.

 * [after Prince being rescued by Elika]
 * Prince: You have a good grip.
 * Elika: I've been practising.

 * [after Prince being rescued by Elika]
 * Prince: That was tickling.

 * [after entering the reservoir]
 * Elika: We're trapped.
 * Prince: And you didn't think of that before we came down into a giant bowl.

Catherine Doherty

Catherine de Hueck Doherty (née Ekaterina Fyodorovna Kolyschkina; 15 August 1896 – 14 December 1985) was a Catholic social activist, author, and foundress of the Madonna House Apostolate.

Quotes

 * I go to my past in order to discern the future.
 * Fragments of My Life (1979)

 * To pass through the door that leads to God's kingdom, we must go down on our knees.
 * Soul of My Soul: Reflections from a Life of Prayer (1985)

 * Lord, give bread to the hungry, and hunger for you to those who have bread.
 * Dearly Beloved, Vol. III (1990)

 * Pain is the kiss of Christ.
 * Dearly Beloved, Vol. III (1990)

 * The duty of the moment is what you should be doing at any given time, in whatever place God has put you. You may not have Christ in a homeless person at your door, but you may have a little child. If you have a child, your duty of the moment may be to change a dirty diaper. So you do it. But you don’t just change that diaper, you change it to the best of your ability, with great love for both God and that child.... There are all kinds of good Catholic things you can do, but whatever they are, you have to realize that there is always the duty of the moment to be done. And it must be done, because the duty of the moment is the duty of God.
 * Dear Parents (1997)

 * With God, every moment is the moment of beginning again.
 * Moments of Grace: From the Writings of Catherine Doherty (Combermere, Ontario: Madonna House Publications, 2000)

 * We do not have to wait for the hereafter — it is now that we are one with Christ.
 * Love One Another (audio cassette, 2002)

 * What you do matters — but not much. What you are matters tremendously.
 * Madonna House Staff Letter #140

 * You live between two Masses. You exist in the present moment.
 * Madonna House Staff Letter #140

"The Little Mandate" (c. early 1930s)

 * This is the complete text of the Little Mandate, the various sentences of which came to Catherine Doherty over a period of years.

 * Arise, go! Sell all you possess. Give it directly, personally to the poor. Take up My cross (their cross) and follow Me, going to the poor, being poor, being one with them, one with Me. Little, be always little, simple, poor, childlike. Preach the Gospel with your life, without compromise. Listen to the Spirit; He will lead you. Do little things exceedingly well for love of Me. Love, love, love, never counting the cost. Go into the market place and stay with Me. Pray, fast. Pray always: fast. Be hidden. Be a light to your neighbor's feet. Go without fears into the depth of men's hearts. I shall be with you. Pray always. I will be your rest.

Poustinia (1975)

 * True silence is the speech of lovers. For only love knows its beauty, completeness and utter joy.
 * Ch. 1

 * God reveals himself to those who wait for that revelation and who don't try to "tear at the hem of a mystery" forcing disclosure.
 * Ch. 3

 * Real zeal is standing still and letting God be a bonfire in you.
 * Ch. 5

 * Faith sees God's face in every human face.
 * Ch. 12

 * Faith allows us to enter peacefully into the dark night which faces everyone of us at one time or another.
 * Ch. 12

 * It is so important for us to have faith, trust, confidence in one another. It is the only way we can communicate. Without faith there is no communication, there is no love, or if there was a little love it will die without hope, trust, and confidence. Even if it doesn't die right away, it will be so ill, so weak, and so tired that communication will be miserable as well.
 * Ch. 12

 * Purity of heart is love for the weak who constantly fall.
 * Ch. 12

 * The stranger is simply a friend I haven't met yet.
 * Ch. 15

The Gospel Without Compromise (1976)
Notre Dame, Indiana: Ave Maria Press, 1976
 * We cannot give the world anything it doesn't already have except God and God's love. But before we can give God to men, we must be one with him ourselves.
 * Ch. 2 "Church and Council", p. 36

 * Must the Church conform to the world and its modern ideas in order to be understood and heard? Much depends on the clarification of the word "conform." The answer is "yes" if by conform is meant change and adaptation in order to express eternal truths in a way more understandable to modern man.
 * Ch. 2 "Church and Council", pp. 36–37

 * On the other hand, the Church cannot conform to the world as understood by Christ in his parables. To this world there can be neither conformity nor can we compromise with it. On the contrary, toward this world the Church and every Christian must be prophetic. We must cry out loudly the word of God, ready even to be stoned as were all the prophets sent by the Lord.
 * Ch. 2 "Church and Council", p. 37

 * Yes, of course, the Christian has dogmas he must believe in order to be a Christian, but all those dogmas concern love which is the essence. God is love. Where love is, God is. Dogmas and tenets of the Christian faith without love are dead letters, not even worth spelling out.
 * Ch. 4 "Love", pp. 77–78

 * God gave us two commandments, to love God with our whole heart, mind and soul, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. There is a lot of talk about the neighbor, but few mention the fact that before this we must love ourselves, "Your neighbor as yourself." What about this loving of ourselves? It doesn't take a vast sociological survey to tell us that very few people accept and love themselves in the proper way, love themselves so as to be able to properly love God and their neighbor.
 * Ch. 4 "Love", p. 86

 * Every third-grader knows that prayer is the lifting up of one's heart and mind to God. But there are many ways of lifting. It begins with vocal prayer, the one all of us are so familiar with. It goes on to mental prayer and meditation, a prayer that all too many people are unfamiliar with. This "lifting" also includes the prayer of silence, the prayer of the heart, contemplative prayer, unknown to still more people.
 * Ch. 6 "Prayer", p. 115

 * Sometimes, in pentecostal gatherings, we treat prophecy too lightly. We don't seem to realize the agony of a prophet. Truly, there is no prophet who hasn't experienced agony.
 * Ch. 7 "Gifts and Virtues", p. 136

 * The Lord said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Which means we must love ourselves first, for we are, in a manner of speaking, our first neighbor.
 * Ch. 7 "Gifts and Virtues", p. 137

Sobornost (1977)
Expanded second edition. Combermere, Ontario: Madonna House Publications, 2011
 * What binds us together is love, and only love. For love is a Person. Love is God.
 * "Experienced at Pentecost", p. 9

 * We do not go to mission lands to 'bring Jesus Christ' as much as to uncover him where he already is.
 * "One in Mind and Heart", p. 18

 * Everybody in this pragmatic, cerebral society always wants to put himself first, and this cannot be done. God doesn't want me to do it. God wants me to be third, never first. God comes first, my neighbor second, and I am third!
 * "An Exchange of Hearts", p. 23

Molchanie (1982)

 * Lord, give me the heart of a child, and the awesome courage to live it out as an adult.

 * Loving does not necessarily mean liking. But it still is loving, yes — totally, completely, utterly. Take the key of wisdom and unlock your own heart. Then let people in one by one. Listen to them, with full attention, with all your mind, heart, body and soul, unto exhaustion. And look! — the exhaustion will be lifted, and you will be able to listen still more. Yes, love must be communicated person to person; otherwise it will not be effective.

 * When we reach the silver sands and plunge into the great sea of God's silence, we begin to understand that he alone is God — Lover, Friend, the totality of gentleness, peace and rest. He calls us and we cannot resist that call. We have to be alone with him. It is a necessity, it is a hunger. It has been said that prayer is a hunger. But this Christ walks with loneliness and rejection, and so must we.

Unfinished Pilgrimage (1995)

 * Unfinished Pilgrimage: God's 'Little Mandate' (Combermere, Ontario: Madonna House Publications, 1995). This little book (44 pp.) contains the text of three talks Catherine Doherty gave in the late 1960s about the origin and meaning of the Little Mandate.

 * To be simple is to accept the essence of the message and not try to twist it or adapt it to our own ideas. To be simple we must desire to remain in the image of God. We must not be so complex that we make God into our image! Simplicity is dying to self, an emptying.
 * "For This I Have Laid Down My Life", p. 12

 * Here I want to reiterate very clearly that this Little Mandate did not come to me dictated, or as a whole, but as I am telling it now. Get the picture: it could happen any place, any time, in the midst of a group, in my office, at lunch in a cafeteria. Suddenly a little light, a little added word would come to me. I used to write them down on scraps of paper, on the back of old envelopes, in some diary, maybe lost or forgotten now; though some of them are still here. It was a patchy thing.
 * "How the Little Mandate Came to Be", p. 23

 * Identification [with the other] is difficult but precious. It involves doing violence to yourself. Yet Scripture says that "heaven is taken by violence" to oneself [Luke 16:16]. To identify oneself with the other is to love him beyond words, a total giving of oneself in truth.
 * "Living the Mandate", p. 36

 * What is the market place? Is it the secular city? Is it the factual market place, that is to say the urban inner city? Is it suburbia where all the supermarkets are? No. The market place is simply the soul of man. It is the place where man trades his soul either to God or to the devil or to the 'in between', with indifference, tepidity and complacency.
 * "Living the Mandate", p. 40
 * The last part of the quote, about those who trade their souls to the 'in between', alludes to Rev 3:15-16.

Attributed

 * A saint is a sinner who loves; it's that simple!

Kitchen Debate

The Kitchen Debate was a series of impromptu exchanges through interpreters between U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon, then 46, and Soviet First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, 65, at the opening of the American National Exhibition at Sokolniki Park in Moscow on July 24, 1959.

Quotes

 * Nixon: There are some instances where you may be ahead of us, for example in the thrust of your rockets for the investigation of outer space. And there may be instances, for example color television, where we're ahead of you...

 * Khrushchev: In what are they ahead of us? Wrong! Wrong! We are ahead of you in rockets as well as in the other technique. I do not capitulate.

 * Khrushchev: If I don't know everything, then I would say that you know absolutely nothing about communism; nothing except fear of it.

 * Khrushchev: Let's compete. The system that will give people more goods will be the better system, and victorious.

 * Nixon: To me you are strong and we are strong. In some ways, you are stronger. In others, we are stronger. We are both strong not only from the standpoint of weapons but from the standpoint of will and spirit. Neither should use that strength to put the other in a position where he in effect has an ultimatum. In this day and age that misses the point. With modern weapons it does not make any difference if war comes. We both have had it.

 * Khrushchev: For the fourth time I have to say I cannot recognize my friend Mr. Nixon. If all Americans agree with you then who don't we agree [with]? This is what we want.

Talk:Rescue Me

Sept 28 2005

Just found the Rescue Me quote page. This is the first page I've ever edited. Made minor correction (changed 'Cousin' to 'Uncle Teddy') and added 'Season Two' header at top of list. Added a few of my favorite quotes (verifying them at TV.com) and the external links at the end. Plan to add more Season Two quotes, label them with their respective episodes, add some Season One quotes, and create pages for Rescue Me characters (as none exist as of now).

Talk:Hatred

I deleted several quotes from this article. I deleted them because they were not about hate itself, but simply quotes which happened to have the word "hate" within them. I'll put those quotes up here on the talk page. If anyone feels that any of these quotes are still relevant to the idea of hate itself, and not just hating or not hating something, put those back into the article, but please don't just add them all back.

Ugh. I hate screaming kids. --- Guy Ritchie

I hate quotation. Tell me what you know. --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies --- W.L. George

I hate it when I see one of those road signs that says "Draw Bridge Ahead" and I don't have a pencil. --- Lou Chiafullo

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing. --- Marilyn Monroe

I hate people. People make me pro-nuclear --- Margaret Smith

Never hate your enemies ... it will cloud your thinking. --- Michael Corleone Godfather III

I love to travel, But hate to arrive. --- Albert Einstein

I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist, dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass psychology that is beyond me. --- Albert Einstein

I'm not playing him to make people hate him for his attitude or make them like him. I'm just playing his attitude as truthfully as I know how. --- Carroll O'Connor

We spend all our time searching for security, and then we hate it when we get it. --- John Steinbeck

I hate people, but I love gatherings. --- Death Knight (Warcraft 3 computer game)

 * Learn to think in positive affirmations. Affirmations are any statements you make. Too often we think in negative affirmations. Negative affirmations only create more of what you say you don't want. Saying, I hate my job, will get you nowhere. Declaring, I now accept a wonderful new job, will open the channels in your consciousness to create that.

Excessive obscure quotes and pov pushing
These quotes by Ram (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)

POV boldface usage
Quotes emphasized with bold font almost unanimously serve political or religious narrative (mostly christian-democratic). The wikiquote guidelines say, that the usage of boldface is subjective at best, with several discussions calling out NPOV, and this article is a primary example of that; not to mention that the whole thing is almost one sided (which isn't always a sign of POV or bias, but this one really looks bad to me).

Quotes

 * hurts I have are my fault but I'm sure gonna learn from it and hopefully anyone reading this will too. the lesson: stay aware on a bicycle and look up the road in front of you at all times to make sure you can deal w/what's coming and the condition of the road you're gonna be rolling down!
 * Statement on bicycling safety after an accident, on his blog "a hoot and a holler" (20 December 2003).

watt bio (2005)

 * Quotes of Watt from "watt bio" by Karen Schoemer (October 2005) at hootpage

 * Navy housing is like tract homes. … All the houses look the same. Everybody's pop was the same rank. There's a lot of negative to the military — like, most of it. But one good thing was I lived with all kinds of people, as far as ethnic background or whatever. Because the navy was integrated. That was kind of neat. And with everybody's pop being chiefs, you could see that no one was above or below anyone else. You know how neighborhoods get all caught up in different things? Well, in the military you're not like that. You're all together. So I will say that was one positive thing that came out of it.
 * On his childhood experiences of living on military bases.

 * The 'minute' meant more like minute … Like we were small compared to a big arena rock band. And the other reason for the name — I had a bunch of names on a paper, and D. Boon picked that one. He liked it because there was some right-wing group who used the name. We thought, we'll call ourselves the same thing — there goes their power! It'll dilute it and confuse things.
 * On the name of The Minutemen

 * What's obvious to me isn't always obvious to other people.

 * If it's some style, especially some shrink-wrapped thing hanging on a wall at Toys 'R' Us, then it won't live, it won't be dynamic … It becomes exactly what the marketing people want — a genre, something to make their job easier. But if it's something like, "Everybody's telling me the wall's over there, but I'm going to push against it and see if it's really there" — to me, that's what punk is. An idealistic attitude.
