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 Tompotts1963. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tompotts1963~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.

Simple quote links
Hi - I see you putting these in but I don't see any result on the pages I looked at? Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 14:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I've put in "interwiki" links to Simple English Wikiquote, for example at the page Aesop. The way this displays for me is that at the left of the page, under the links such as "Main Page" ... "Special Pages", it lists a number of languages.  The links I put in list "Simple English" as one of those languages, and when I click on it I get to the Simple English Wikiquote version of the Aesop page, for example.  The logo for Simple English Wikiquote looks the same as the one for English Wikiquote, but I can tell I'm at Simple English because the second link at the left, under "Main Page", is "Simple Talk" (and besides, the page looks different:  many of them have Simple English translations of the quotes.)

 * Let me know if you still can't get there. What page are you looking at?  Do you see any other interwiki (language) links?  --Coppertwig 19:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It amazes me how much I miss! With apologies, I wasn't looking in the language links but just on the main page.  Thanks for taking the time, regards -- Herby  talk thyme 07:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem! I like getting friendly messages on my talk page!  --Coppertwig 22:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Francine Prose

Francine Prose (born April 1, 1947, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and critic.

Quotes

 * You can assume that if a writer's work has survived for centuries, there are reasons why this is so, explanations that have nothing to do with a conspiracy of academics plotting to resuscitate a zombie army of dead white males.
 * Reading Like a Writer, ch. 2, p. 15 (2006)

 * With this recitation of paraphernalia and detritus, O'Brien manages to encapsulate the experience of an army and of a particular war, of a mined and booby-trapped landscape, of cold nights and hot days, of soaking monsoons and rice paddies, and of the possibility of being shot, like Ted Lavender, suddenly and out of nowhere: not only in the middle of a sentence but in the midst of a subordinate clause.
 * Reading Like a Writer, ch. 3, p. 57 (2006) (referring to a passage in The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien)

 * Love, we soon come to understand, too often provides the occasion for the misuses and abuse of power.
 * Introduction to Beautiful as the Moon, Radiant as the Stars: Jewish Women in Yiddish Stories - An Anthology edited by Sandra Bark (2003)

Sherman Klump

 * [Has lost all of his intelligence. Denise asks him to tell her who she is] Ah, pretty lady!
 * [To Denise] I never... never wanted to hurt you. Understand? I thought that if you knew Buddy was a part of me, you wouldn't have me.

Dean Richmond

Klump Family

 * Papa Klump: [Making Sherman drink the water Buddy evaporated in. Pulls his head out] What's your mama's middle name? [Sherman mumbles] Hell no, that ain't it! [Pushes his head back in]

 * Granny: The other day I got out the shower and I bend down to reach for a towel, and I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Shot through my chest and up around my shoulder and down my spine. I thought "Oh, Lord." I thought I was dying. I bent over and looked, and I was standing on my own titty.

 * Granny Klump: Hey Cletus, who that there piece of spaghetti remind you of? Maybe Mr. Johnson perhaps?
 * Ernie: [the chorus just finished singing 'Happy Day'] Happy day, happy day, happy day my ass.

 * Granny: The other day I got out the shower and I bend down to reach for a towel, and I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Shot through my chest and up around my shoulder and down my spine. I thought "Oh, Lord." I thought I was dying. I bent over and looked, and I was standing on my own titty.

Terry Eagleton

Terence Francis Eagleton FBA (born February 22, 1943) is a British literary theorist, critics and philosopher. Eagleton is a Distinguished Professor of English Literature at Lancaster University, and as a former Visiting Professor at the National University of Ireland.

1980s

 * Deconstruction... insists not that truth is illusory but that it is institutional.
 * Frère Jacques: The Politics of Deconstruction, ch. 6, Against the Grain (1984)

 * Postmodernism is among other things a sick joke at the expense of... revolutionary avant-gardism.
 * Capitalism, Modernism and Postmodernism, ch. 9 (1985)

Literary Theory: An Introduction (1983)

 * Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically from everyday speech. If you approach me at a bus stop and murmur "Thou still unravished bride of quietness," then I am instantly aware that I am in the presence of the literary.
 * Introduction: What is Literature?, p. 2

 * If the masses are not thrown a few novels, they may react by throwing up a few barricades.
 * Chapter 1, p. 21

 * All consciousness is consciousness of something: in thinking I am aware that my thought is 'pointing towards' some object.
 * Chapter 2, p. 48

 * The present is only understandable through the past, with which it forms a living continuity; and the past is always grasped from our own partial viewpoint within the present.
 * Chapter 2, p. 62

 * Literary texts do not exist on bookshelves: they are processes of signification materialized only in the practice of reading. For literature to happen, the reader is quite as vital as the author.
 * Chapter 2, p. 64-65

 * Reading is not a straightforward linear movement, a merely cumulative affair: our initial speculations generate a frame of reference within which to interpret what comes next, but what comes next may retrospectively transform our original understanding, highlighting some features of it and backgrounding others.
 * Chapter 2, p. 67 (See also: Northrop Frye)

 * What was needed was a literary theory which, while preserving the formalist bent of New Criticism, its dogged attention to literature as aesthetic object rather than social practice, would make something a good deal more systematic and 'scientific' out of all this. The answer arrived in 1957, in the shape of the Canadian Northrop Fryes mighty 'totalization' of all literary genres, Anatomy of Criticism.
 * Chapter 3, 79

 *  Reading a text is more like tracing this process of constant flickering than it is like counting the beads on a necklace.
 * Chapter 4, p. 111

 * Writing seems to rob me of my being: it is a second hand mode of communication, a pallid, mechanical transcript of speech, and so always at one remove from my consciousness.
 * Chapter 4, p. 113 (See also: Julian Jaynes)

 * It is difficult to think of an origin without wanting to go back beyond it.
 * Chapter 4, p. 114

 * It is language which speaks in literature, in all its swarming 'polysemic' plurality, not the author himself.
 * Chapter 4, p. 120

 * If we were not called upon to work in order to survive, we might simply lie around all day doing nothing.
 * Chapter 5, p. 131

 * Schizophrenic language has in this sense an interesting resemblance to poetry.
 * Chapter 5, p. 138

 * All desire springs from a lack, which it strives continually to fill.
 * Chapter 5, p. 145 (See also: Rene Girard)

 * Language always pre-exists us: it is always already 'in place', waiting to assign us our places within it.
 * Chapter 5, p. 151

 * We live in a society which on the one hand pressurizes us into the pursuit of instant gratification, and the other hand imposes on whole sectors of the population and endless deferment of fulfillment.
 * Chapter 5, p. 167

 * Any attempt to define literary theory in terms of a distinctive method is doomed to failure.
 * Conclusion: political Criticism, p. 172

 * The truth is that liberal humanism is at once largely ineffectual, and the best ideology of the 'human' that present bourgeois society can muster.
 * Conclusion: political Criticism, p. 174

 * Understanding is always in some sense retrospective, which is what Hegel meant by remarking that the owl of Minerva flies only at night.
 * Afterword, p. 190

 * If history moves forward, knowledge of it travels backwards, so that in writing of our own recent past we are continually meeting ourselves coming the other way.
 * Afterword, p. 190

Against The Grain (1986)

 * Chaucer was a class traitor Shakespeare hated the mob Donne sold out a bit later Sidney was a nob.
 * Ch. 14, The Ballad of English Literature

 * All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive. For if the complex can be put into the simple, then it cannot be as complex as it seemed in the first place; and if the simple can be an adequate medium of such complexity, then it cannot after all be as simple as all that.
 * Ch. 10, The Critic as Clown

 * Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.
 * Ch. 13, The Revolt of the Reader

1990s

 * It is silly to call fat people “gravitationally challenged”, a self-righteous fetishism of language which is no more than a symptom of political frustration.
 * Guardian (October 27, 1992)

 * Post-structuralism is among other things a kind of theoretical hangover from the failed uprising of ‘68, a way of keeping the revolution warm at the level of language, blending the euphoric libertarianism of that moment with the stoical melancholia of its aftermath.
 * Guardian (October 27, 1992)

Ideology (1991)

 * Ideology consist of a specific objective level, of a relatively coherent ensemble of representations, values and beliefs: just as 'men', the agents within a formation, participate in an economic and political activity, they also participate in religious, moral, aesthetic and philosophical activities. Ideology concerns the world in which men live, their relations to nature, to society, to other men and to their own activity including their own economic and political activity. The status of the ideological derives from the fact that it reflects the manner in which the agents of a formation, the bearers of its structures, live their conditions of existence; i.e. it reflects their relation to these conditions as it is 'lived' by them. Ideology is present to such an extent in all the agents' activities that it becomes indistinguishable from their lived experience. To this extent ideologies fix in a relatively coherent universe not only a real but also and imaginary relation: i.e. men's real relation to their conditions of existence in the form of an imaginary relation. This means that in the last analysis ideologies are related to human experience without being thereby reduced to a problematic of the subject—consciousness. This social-imaginary relation, which performs a real practical—social function, cannot be reduced to the problematic of alienation and false consciousness.
 * pp. 135-136

 * It follows that through its constitution ideology is involved in the functioning of this social-imaginary relation, and is therefore necessarily false; its social function is not to give agents a true knowledge of the social structure but simply to insert them as it were into their practical activities supporting this structure. Precisely because it is determined by its structure, at the level of experience the social whole remains opaque to the agents. In class-divided societies this opacity is over-determined by class exploitation and by the forms which this exploitation takes in order to be able to function in the social whole. Hence, even if it includes elements of knowledge, ideology necessarily manifests an adequation / inadequation vis-à-vis the real.
 * p. 136

 * As opposed to science ideology has the precise function of hiding the real contradictions and of reconstituting on an imaginary level a relatively coherent discourse which serves as the horizon of agents' experience.
 * p. 136

 * What persuades men and women to mistake each other from time to time for gods or vermin is ideology. One can understand well enough how human beings may struggle and murder for good material reasons—reasons connected, for instance, with their physical survival. It is much harder to grasp how they may come to do so in the name of something as apparently abstract as ideas. Yet ideas are what men and women live by, and will occasionally die for.

 * It is important to see that, in the critique of ideology, only those interventions will work which make sense to the mystified subject itself.

2000s

 * I do not know whether to be delighted or outraged by the fact that Literary Theory: An Introduction was the subject of a study by a well known U.S. business school, which was intrigued to discover how an academic text could become a best-seller.
 * New Preface to Literary Theory: An Introduction, Anniversary Edition, (2008)

Preface to the Routledge Classics Edition Marxism and Literary Theory (2002)

 * "What perished in the Soviet Union was Marxist only in the sense that the Inquisition was Christian"

After Theory (2003)

 * "Cultural theory as we have it promises to grapple with some fundamental problems, but on the whole fails to deliver. It has been shamefaced about morality and metaphysics, embarrassed about love, biology, religion and revolution, largely silent about evil, reticent about death and suffering, dogmatic about essences, universals and foundations, and superficial about truth, objectivity and  disinterestedness. This, on any estimate, is rather a large slice of human existence to fall down on. It is also, as we have suggested before, rather an awkward moment in history to find oneself with little or nothing to say about such fundamental questions."

 * "In some traditionalist universities not long ago, you could not research on authors who were still alive. This was a great incentive to slip a knife between their ribs one foggy evening, or a remarkable test of patience if your chosen novelist was in rude health and only 34".

2010s

 * In conscious life, we achieve some sense of ourselves as reasonably unified, coherent selves, and without this action would be impossible. But all this is merely at the ‘imaginary’ level of the ego, which is no more than the tip of the iceberg of the human subject known to psychoanalysis. The ego is function or effect of a subject which is always dispersed, never identical with itself, strung out along the chains of the discourses which constitute it.
 * (2011) Literary Theory: An Introduction. p. 147

Why Marx Was Right (2011)

 * You can tell that the capitalist system is in trouble when people start talking about capitalism.
 * Preface, p. xi

 * After all, if you do not resist the apparently inevitable, you will never know how inevitable the inevitable was.
 * Chapter 1, p. 6

 * We face a probable future of nuclear-armed states warring over a scarcity of resources; and that scarcity is largely the consequence of capitalism itself. For the first time in history, our prevailing form of life has the power not simply to breed racism and spread cultural cretinism, drive us into war or herd us into labour camps, but to wipe us from the planet. Capitalism will behave antisocially if it is profitable for it to do so, and that can now mean human devastation on an unimaginable scale. What used to be apocalyptic fantasy is today no more than sober realism. The traditional leftist slogan ‘‘Socialism or barbarism’’ was never more grimly apposite.
 * Chapter 1, p. 8

 * Modern capitalist nations are the fruit of a history of slavery, genocide, violence and exploitation every bit as abhorrent as Mao's China or Stalin's Soviet Union.
 * Chapter 2, p. 12

 * History works itself out by an inevitable internal logic.
 * Chapter 3, p. 44

 * It is capitalism, not Marxism, that trades in futures.
 * Chapter 4, p. 65

 * The truth is that the past exists no more than the future, even though it feels as though it does.
 * Chapter 4, p. 70

 * There seems to be something in humanity which will not bow meekly to the insolence of power.
 * Chapter 4, p. 100

 * The most compelling confirmation of Marx's theory of history is late capitalist society. There is a sense in which this case is becoming truer as time passes.
 * Chapter 5, p. 115

 * Ivory towers are as rare as bowling alleys in tribal cultures.
 * Chapter 6, p. 134

 * When it comes to who exactly should be exploited, the system is admirably egalitarian.
 * Chapter 7, p. 162

 * Capitalism cannot survive without a working class, while the working class can flourish a lot more freely without capitalism.
 * Chapter 7, p. 177

 * The liberal state is neutral between capitalism and its critics until the critics look like they are winning.
 * Chapter 9, p. 197

 * Socialism is the completion of democracy, not the negation of it.
 * Chapter 9, p. 202

 * Capitalism is the sorcerer's apprentice: it has summoned up powers which have spun wildly out of control and now threaten to destroy us. The task of socialism is not to spur on those powers but to bring them under rational human control.
 * Chapter 10, p. 236

Quotes about Eagleton

 * There are many ways that reviewing can be dishonest. Here is one illustration, drawn from no less a personnage than the self-appointed doyen of the literature dons, Terry Eagleton. A standard rhetorical device in discursive literature has the form “some say X, but I say Y.” The author might not disagree with X, but thinks Y is the more important point. A scurrilous reviewer can systematically misrepresent the author by saying, “the author says X” and omitting the author’s rider “Y”. This is one of Eagleton’s techniques of choice (chapter and verse can be abundantly supplied). Of course, this might not be intentional on Eagleton’s part; he might merely be stupid or lazy. But since it is better to doubt this, we have to conclude instead that he is guilty of wilful misrepresentation. It is alarming to think that such are the ethics of criticism he teaches his students at Manchester University.
 * A. C. Grayling, Life, Sex, and Ideas: The Good Life Without God (2002), ISBN 0-19-517755-X, Chapter 55, "Reading and Reviewing"

 * Like most academic Marxists, Professor Eagleton knows that, put baldly, the doctrine of economic determinism is patently absurd. So he employs various gambits to soften or conceal the absurdity, without ever really denying the basic model of economic determinism. This is not to say that he is completely free of "vulgar Marxist" rhetoric; indeed, he sometimes sounds like nothing so much as a soapbox Marxist, railing (for example) against "a petty bourgeois liberal humanism, academically dispossessed and subordinated yet in intellectual terms increasingly hegemonic, [which] occupied the bastions of reactionary criticism from within as a dissentient bloc." Yet Professor Eagleton also takes great pains to distance himself from "vulgar Marxism"—the phrase occurs often in his works, always in his beloved scare quotes. The vulgar Marxist is a frank economic determinist and holds that the "superstructure" is a more or less direct reflection of economic processes. The sophisticated Marxist, well schooled in the writings of the Frankfurt School Marxists, allows that the superstructure is "relatively autonomous"—except when he wants to claim economic determination for some phenomenon of his own choosing. The "vulgar Marxist" is frankly Utopian and looks forward to the revolution and the establishment of a workers' paradise; a sophisticated Marxist like Professor Eagleton dandifies his utopianism with lots of high-flown rhetoric. "Once emancipated from material scarcity, liberated from labour," he writes in a typically starry-eyed passage, "[men] will live in the play of the mutual significations, move in the ceaseless 'excess' of freedom." Professor Eagleton's primary weapons against the charge of vulgar Marxism are words like "hegemony," "ideology," and "aesthetic," all of which in his hands have the wonderful property of meaning any of about six different and conflicting things.
 * Roger Kimball (1990), "The Contradictions of Terry Eagleton", New Criterion September 1990

 * Perhaps you thought that George Eliot was the author of Middlemarch. No: according to Professor Eagleton, the phrase “George Eliot” signifies nothing more than the insertion of certain specific ideological determinations -- Evangelical Christianity, rural organicism, incipient feminism, petty-bourgeois moralism–into a hegemonic ideological formation which is partly supported, partly embarrassed by their presence. Similarly, he tells us that Henry James, like Joseph Conrad, “is . . . no more than a particular name for . . . an aspect of the crisis of nineteenth-century realism.” The idea is to downgrade the notion of individual genius, as if George Eliot’s personal contribution to the writing of Middlemarch were somehow accidental, the more important thing being the “specific ideological determinations” she embodied. The main point of all this is that nothing is what it seems; or, as Professor Eagleton puts it in Criticism and Ideology, “there is no ‘immanent’ value”: everything in the realm of culture is determined by something outside culture–namely (catch that whiff of vulgarity?) the oppressive economic relations of capitalism.
 * Roger Kimball, summarizing and objecting to Eagleton's assessments, in "Was Jesus Christ a Palestinian insurgent?" (2007); ellipses are Kimball's.

 * Terry Eagleton is a deft, witty summarizer of other people's ideas. Applied Marxism is, oddly, his weakest point. He also goes limply soft on academic feminism, whose bourgeois prudery, moralism, and Protestant word-fetishism he does not see. Eagleton'e thought-provoking arguments against the [literary] canon are unfortunately vitiated by the fact that he seems to have little feeling for art. Is education to be gutted merely because Terry Eagleton wandered into a profession for which he discovered too late that he had minimal talent? Like Foucault, Eagleton continues to push into one new field after another, restlessly searching for success in something.
 * Camille Paglia (1992) Sex, Art, and American Culture: Essays, NY: Vintage, p. 246

 * I think that the favorable expository literature on Žižek deepens his isolation [in refusing to answer or recognize criticism]. Consider the way Terry Eagleton quotes Žižek [in a passage from the latter's Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism?] in discussing how the idea of “destiny” can trivialize the understanding of tragedy: “Does not the term ‘tragedy,’ Žižek asks, “at least in its classical sense, still imply the logic of Fate, which is rendered ridiculous apropos the Holocaust? To say that the annihilation of the Jews obeyed a hidden Necessity of Fate is already to gentrify it.” Eagleton then adds, “Žižek is mistaken to assume that tragedy, even classical tragedy, invariably involves fate; but he is right to see that the notion can actually sanitize suffering, and Euripides is unlikely to have demurred.” Why credit Žižek with an insight at all, if one admits that he is wrong in his claim? Who has ever seriously tried to “gentrify” the Holocaust by saying that it probably has to do with one of the gods “More truth in . . . appearance than in . . . reality.” being offended and that it goes to show that we should not try to evade the words of the oracle? [Eagleton's] [g]iving Žižek credit for victory over a straw man prevents engagement with the actual content of his words.

 * "Kapieren und Kopieren!"
 * Translation: "Comprehend and copy Nature!"
 * Schauberger's motto

 * "Nature is not served by rigid laws, but by rhythmical, reciprocal processes. Nature uses none of the preconditions of the chemist or the physicist for the purposes of evolution. Nature excludes all fire, on principle, for purposes of growth; therefore all contemporary machines are unnatural and constructed according to false premises. Nature avails herself of the biodynamic form of motion through which the biological prerequisite for the emergence of life is provided. Its purpose is to ur-procreate 'higher' conditions of matter out of the originally inferior raw materials, which afford the evolutionally older, or the numerically greater rising generation, the possibility of a constant capacity to evolve, for without any growing and increasing reserves of energy there would be no evolution or development. This results first and foremost in the collapse of the so-called Law of the Conservation of Energy, and in further consequence the Law of Gravity, and all other dogmatic lose any rational or practical basis."

 * "Wherever we look the dreadful disintegration of the bridges of life, the capillaries and the bodies they have created, is evident, which has been caused by the mechanical and mindless work of man, who has torn away the soul from the Earth's blood - water. The more the engineer endeavors to channel water, of whose spirit and nature he is today still ignorant, by the shortest and straightest route to the sea, the more the flow of water weighs into the bends, the longer its path and the worse the water will become. The spreading of the most terrible disease of all, of cancer, is the necessary consequence of such unnatural regulatory works. These mistaken activities - our work - must legitimately lead to increasingly widespread unemployment, because our present methods of working, which have a purely mechanical basis, are already destroying not only all of wise Nature's formative processes, but first and foremost the growth of the vegetation itself, which is being destroyed even as it grows. The drying up of mountain springs, the change in the whole pattern of motion of the groundwater, and the disturbance in the blood circulation of the organism - Earth - is the direct result of modern forestry practices. The pulse-beat of the Earth was factually arrested by the modern timber production industry. Every economic death of a people is always preceded by the death of its forests. The forest is the habitat of water and as such the habitat of life processes too, whose quality declines as the organic development of the forest is disturbed. Ultimately, due to a law which functions with awesome constancy, it will slowly but surely come around to our turn. Our accustomed way of thinking in many ways, and perhaps even without exception, is opposed to the true workings of Nature. Our work is the embodiment of our will. The spiritual manifestation of this work is its effect.

 * "It is possible to regulate watercourses over any given distance without embankment works; to transport timber and other materials, even when heavier than water, for example ore, stones, etc., down the centre of such water-courses; to raise the height of the water table in the surrounding countryside and to endow the water with all those elements necessary for the prevailing vegetation. Furthermore it is possible in this way to render timber and other such materials non-inflammable and rot resistant; to produce drinking and spa-water for man, beast and soil of any desired composition and performance artificially, but in the way that it occurs in Nature; to raise water in a vertical pipe without pumping devices; to produce any amount of electricity and radiant energy almost without cost; to raise soil quality and to heal cancer, tuberculosis and a variety of nervous disorders... the practical implementation of this ... would without doubt signify a complete reorientation in all areas of science and technology."

 * "This civilization is the work of man, who high-handedly and ignorant of the true workings of Nature, has created a world without meaning or foundation, which now threatens to destroy him, for through his behavior and his activities, he, who should be her master, has disturbed Nature's inherent unity."

Intuitive thinking

 * "Our thinking is inconsistent with what we actually see. The eye is a perfect, natural organ. The seen image is a reaction phenomenon. Using an artificial optical apparatus, the same effect, for example, can only be obtained by a roundabout way, by means of a negative. The eye, on the other hand, immediately presents us with the diapositive, namely the true image."

 * "Our sight constitutes an unconscious, automatic transformation process, through which the negative image - like a photographic negative - (i.e. the effect), is transformed into a positive one, like a diapositive color slide. Our thinking, however, is really a purely individual, conscious process and therefore learnable. If our thinking is to attain the same perfection as our seeing, then we must change our way of thinking and learn to see reality, not as an action, but as a reaction. Perfect thought lies in the apprehension of the correct reaction, for before the eye can show us the positive, it must first transform the negative and in a certain manner must break up what it records. What we see therefore, is the turning inside out of what we receive. What our mind grasps in this way must be re-formed and re-thought if we wish to attain what we strive for."

Science

 * "The majority believes that everything hard to comprehend must be very profound. This is incorrect. What is hard to understand is what is immature, unclear and often false. The highest wisdom is simple and passes through the brain directly into the heart"

 * "Today's science thinks too primitively; indeed it could be said that its thinking is an octave too low. It has still not ventured far enough into the realm of energy, and its attitude has remained development was necessary, for how else should a misguided humanity perceive the true interdependencies?"

 * "Without doubt, therefore, there is a definite intention to teach young people upside-down methods of working with which they have to miss-earn their daily bread. That is to say, instead of moving forwards, they go backwards all the more rapidly in step with the improvements in the contrary methods of motion. For only thus can today's teaching principles flourish."

 * "Already from earliest childhood it was my deepest wish to understand nature and through this to come closer to the truth I could not find at school or at church. I was repeatedly drawn to the forest where I could watch the flow of water for hours on end without getting tired or irritable. At that time I did not yet know that water is the bearer of life or the source of what we call consciousness. Totally oblivious, I let water flow past my searching eyes and only years later did I become aware that this running water attracts our consciousness magnetically, takes a piece with it, with a force that is so strong that one loses consciousness for a while and involuntarily falls into a deep sleep. And so, gradually I began to play with these forces in water and I gave up this so-called free consciousness and left it to the water for a while. Little by little this game turned into a very serious matter because I saw that it was possible to release my own consciousness from my body and attach it to the water. When I took it back again, the consciousness borrowed from the water told me things that were often very strange. And so the searcher became a researcher who could send his consciousness on expeditions, so to speak, and this way I found out about things the rest of mankind has missed because they do not know that people are able to send their free consciousness everywhere, even where the seeing eye cannot look. This so-called sight practiced with blindfolded eyes finally gave me ties to the secrets of nature which I slowly began to recognize and understand in their own fabric. And in due course it became clear to me that we human beings are used to seeing everything backwards and wrong. The biggest surprise, however, was that we human beings let the most valuable part drain off as useless and from all the great intellectuality that flows through us, we retain only the feces."

 * "An American aircraft consortium offered me 3.5 million dollars; a similar offer was made by Canadian interests. You didn't want it in Europe, so now you'll have to get it back from America expensively!"
 * 1958 (from Callum Coats: Living Energies (2002))

Jack Kevorkian

Jacob "Jack" Kevorkian (26 May 1928 – 3 June 2011) was an American pathologist. Nicknamed "Doctor Death," he was most noted for publicly championing a terminal patient's "right to die", aiding those who wanted to die to reach their goal without suffering. He has claimed to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end.

 * When you transplant a heart from a baboon into a baby as we did, and you say the body of that baby is sacred, does that profane heart from the baboon become sacred when you place it in the body?

You see the silliness of our mythology? Children ask the questions I'm just asking now. Trouble is, children get slapped for asking questions like that because they have no defense.

 * Alicia: I hate you all. And I love this country. Do you understand that? I love it. I'll see you all hang before I raise a finger against it. Now go on and get out of here. So help me, I'll turn you in. Don't ever come near nor speak to me again about your rotten schemes.

 * Alicia: You don't think a woman can change?
 * Devlin: Sure. But change is fun, for a while.
 * Alicia: For a while. What a rat you are Devlin!
 * Devlin: All right. You've been sober for eight days. And as far as I know, you've made no new conquests.
 * Alicia: Well, that's something.
 * Devlin: Eight days. Practically white-washed.
 * Alicia: I'm very happy here. Why won't you let me be happy?
 * Devlin: No one is stopping you.
 * Alicia: Why don't you give that copper's brain of yours a rest? Every time you look at me, I can see it running over its slogans: 'Once a crook, always a crook,' 'Once a tramp, always a tramp.' Go on. You can hold my hand. I won't blackmail you for it afterwards. Scared?
 * Devlin: I've always been scared of women, but I'll get over it.
 * Alicia: Now you're scared of yourself. You're afraid you'll fall in love with me.
 * Devlin: That wouldn't be hard.
 * Alicia: Oh now, careful, careful.
 * Devlin: You enjoy making fun of me, don't you?
 * Alicia: No Dev, I'm making fun of myself. I'm pretending I'm a nice, unspoiled child whose heart is full of daisies and buttercups.
 * Devlin: Nice daydream. Then what?
 * Alicia: I think I will have another drink.
 * Devlin: I thought you'd get around to it.
 * Alicia: Make it a double...Why won't you believe in me, Devlin - just a little? Why won't you? I know why you won't, Devlin. You're sore. You're sore because you're falling for a little drunk you've taken in Miami and you don't like it. It makes you sick all over, doesn't it? People will laugh at you. The invincible Devlin, in love with someone who isn't worth even wasting the words on. Poor Dev, in love with a no-good gal. It must be awful. I'm sorry.

 * Alicia: It's nice out here. Let's not go out to dinner. Let's stay here.
 * Devlin: We have to eat.
 * Alicia: We can eat here. I'll cook.
 * Devlin: I thought you didn't like to cook.
 * Alicia: No I don't like to cook, but I have a chicken in the icebox and you're eating it.
 * Devlin: What about all the washing up afterwards?
 * Alicia: We'll eat it with our fingers.
 * Devlin: Don't we need any plates?
 * Alicia: Yes, one for you and one for me.
 * Devlin: You mind if I have dinner with you tonight?
 * Alicia: I'd be delighted. Where are you going?
 * Devlin: If you're going to stay in, I have to telephone the hotel, see if there are any messages.
 * Alicia: Do I have to?
 * Devlin: I have to.
 * Alicia: This is a very strange love affair.
 * Devlin: Why?
 * Alicia: Maybe the fact that you don't love me.
 * Devlin: ...When I don't love you, I'll let you know.
 * Alicia: You haven't said anything.
 * Devlin: [kissing her] Actions speak louder than words.

 * Alicia: What's the matter? Don't look so tense. Troubles? Well handsome, I think you'd better tell Mama what's going on. All this secrecy's going to ruin my little dinner. Come on, Mr. D., what is darkening your brow?
 * Devlin: After dinner.
 * Alicia: No, now! Look, I'll make it easy for you. The time has come when you must tell me that you have a wife and two adorable children and this madness between us can't go on any longer.
 * Devlin: I'll bet you've heard that line often enough.
 * Alicia: Right below the belt every time. Oh, that isn't fair, Dev.
 * Devlin: Skip it. We have other things to talk about. We've got a job.
 * Alicia: Oh. So there is a job.
 * Devlin: You, uh, you remember a man named Sebastian?
 * Alicia: Alex Sebastian?
 * Devlin: Yes.
 * Alicia: One of my father's friends, yes.
 * Devlin: He had quite a crush on you.
 * Alicia: I wasn't very responsive.
 * Devlin: Well, he's here. The head of a large German business concern.
 * Alicia: His family always had money.
 * Devlin: He's part of the combine that built up the German war machine and hopes to keep on going.
 * Alicia: Something big?
 * Devlin: It has all the earmarks of being something big. We have to contact him.
 * Alicia: Go on, let's have all of it.
 * Devlin: We're meeting him tomorrow. The rest is up to you. You've got to work on him and land him.
 * Alicia: Mata Hari. She makes love for the papers.
 * Devlin: There are no papers. You land him. Find out what's going on inside his house, what the group around him is up to, and report to us.
 * Alicia: I suppose you knew about this pretty little job of mine all the time.
 * Devlin: No. I only just found out about it.

 * Alicia: Did you say anything? I mean, that maybe I wasn't the girl for such shenanigans?
 * Devlin: I figured that was up to you - if you'd care to back out.
 * Alicia: I suppose you told them, 'Alicia Huberman would have this Sebastian eating out of her hand in a couple of weeks. She's good at that. Always was.'
 * Devlin: I didn't say anything.
 * Alicia: Not a word for that little love-sick lady you left an hour ago?
 * Devlin: I told you, that's the assignment.
 * Alicia: Oh well now, don't get sore, Dev. I'm only fishing for a little bird-call from my dream man, one little remark, such as: 'How dare you gentlemen suggest that Alicia Huberman, the new Miss Huberman, be submitted to so ugly a fate!'
 * Devlin: That's not funny.
 * Alicia: Do you want me to take the job?
 * Devlin: You're answering for yourself.
 * Alicia: I am asking you.
 * Devlin: It's up to you.
 * Alicia: Not a peep, hm? Oh, darling. What you didn't tell them, tell me! That you believe I'm nice, and that I love you, and I'll never change back.
 * Devlin: I'm waiting for your answer.
 * Alicia: What a little pal you are. Never believing me, hmm? Not a word of faith. Just down the drain with Alicia. That's where she belongs. Oh, Dev, Dev. When do I go to work for Uncle Sam?
 * Devlin: Tomorrow morning.
 * Alicia: Oh, we shouldn't have had this out here. It's all cold now. What are you looking for?
 * Devlin: I had a bottle of champagne. I must have left it somewhere.

 * Alicia: It's odd, but I feel at home with you.
 * Alex: You know my dear, I knew this was going to happen. I knew when we met the other day that if I saw you again, I'd feel what I used to for you. The same hunger. You're so lovely, my dear.

 * Mme. Sebastian: You did not testify at your father's trial. We thought that unusual.
 * Alicia: He didn't want me to. He refused to let his lawyers call me on the stand.
 * Mme. Sebastian: I wonder why.

 * Mme. Sebastian: Miss Huberman has been gone a long time.
 * Alex: Mother, is it necessary for you to always address Alicia as Miss Huberman? I do wish you'd be a little more cordial to her.
 * Mme. Sebastian: Really, I thought I was behaving very well. Has she been complaining about me? [No answer] I'm grateful.
 * Alex: You might smile at her.
 * Mme. Sebastian: Wouldn't it be a little bit too much if we both grinned at her like idiots?
 * Alex: Please mother. I want to enjoy myself.
 * Mme. Sebastian: Is it so boring to sit with me alone?
 * Alex: Not at all, not at all.

 * Alicia: You can add Sebastian's name to my list of playmates.
 * Devlin: Pretty fast work.
 * Alicia: That's what you wanted, wasn't it?
 * Devlin: Skip it!..I've been recalling some of your remarks about being a new woman. Daisies and buttercups, wasn't it?
 * Alicia: You idiot. What are you sore about? You knew very well what I was doing.
 * Devlin: Did I?
 * Alicia: You could have stopped me. Just one word. But no, you wouldn't. You threw me at him.
 * Devlin: I threw you at nobody.
 * Alicia: Didn't you tell me to go ahead?
 * Devlin: A man doesn't tell a woman what to do. She tells herself. You almost had me believing in that little hokey-pokey miracle of yours. If a woman like you could ever change her spots.
 * Alicia: Oh, you're rotten.
 * Devlin: That's why I didn't try to stop you. And the answer had to come from you.
 * Alicia: I see. Some kind of love test.
 * Devlin: That's right.
 * Alicia: Well, you never believed in me anyways so what's the difference.
 * Devlin: Lucky for both of us I didn't. It wouldn't have been pretty if I believed in you. If I'd figured: 'She'll never be able to go through with this. She's been made over by love.'
 * Alicia: If you only once had said that you loved me. Oh, Dev.
 * Devlin: Listen. You chalked up another boyfriend. That's all. No harm done.
 * Alicia: I hate you.
 * Devlin: There's no occasion to. You're doing good work. Number 10's out in front. It looks as if Sebastian knows how to pick 'em.
 * Alicia: Is that all you have to say to me?
 * Devlin: Dry your eyes baby. It's out of character. Keep on your toes. There's a tough job around. Snap out of it. Here comes dreamboat.

 * Alicia: Don't talk like that. I detest him...Alex, I've told you before. Mr. Devlin doesn't mean a thing to me.
 * Alex: I'd like to be convinced. Would you maybe care to convince me, Alicia, that Mr. Devlin means nothing to you?

 * Beardsley: I worry about a woman of that sort.
 * Devlin: What sort is that, Mr. Beardsley?
 * Beardsley: Oh, I don't think any of us have any illusions about her character, have we Devlin?
 * Devlin: Not at all, not the slightest. Miss Huberman is first, last, and always not a lady. She may be risking her life, but when it comes to being a lady, she doesn't hold a candle to your wife, sir, sitting in Washington playing bridge with three other ladies of great honor and virtue.
 * Prescott: Take it easy, Dev.

 * Alicia: [about Sebastian proposing marriage] I didn't know what the department might think about such a step.
 * Prescott: Are you willing to go this far for us, Miss Huberman?
 * Alicia: Yes, if you wish.
 * Prescott: What do you think of this, Devlin?
 * Devlin: Oh, I think it's a useful idea.
 * Prescott: Well, you know the situation better than any of us.
 * Devlin: May I ask what inspired Alex Sebastian to go this far?
 * Alicia: He's in love with me.
 * Devlin: And he thinks you're in love with him?
 * Alicia: Yes, that's what he thinks. Then it's all right?
 * Prescott: Of course, it's a perfect marriage - for us.

 * Devlin: You look for a bottle of wine like the one that rattled the fellow at dinner that night.
 * Alicia: All the bottles look alike to me. I'm no mastermind.
 * Devlin: You're doing all right.
 * Alicia: It's no fun there.
 * Devlin: Too late for that now, isn't it? Look, uh, why don't you persuade your husband to throw a large shindig, so that he can introduce his bride to Rio's society, say sometime next week?
 * Alicia: Why?
 * Devlin: Consider me invited, and I'll try and find out about that wine cellar business.
 * Alicia: I don't think my husband is interested in entertaining just yet.
 * Devlin: The honeymoon isn't over, huh? Don't underestimate your charms, Mrs. Sebastian, you can handle it.
 * Alicia: I don't think it's gonna be so easy about you. He thinks you're in love with me.
 * Devlin: Well, then, tell him you thought if you invited me to the house and I saw how happily married you were, then the horrid passion I have for you might be torn out of me.
 * Alicia: That sounds very logical.
 * Devlin: Good, next week then, and get the key. I have to fly up to Berlin, but I'll be back in time.

 * Devlin: It's kind of your bride to invite me.
 * Alex: We both invite you, Mr. Devlin. Will you see that our guest is fed, my dear? Amused?...
 * Devlin: This isn't going to be easy.
 * Alicia: Why?
 * Devlin: He, uh, he's quite sensitive about you. He's gonna watch us like a hawk.
 * Alicia: Yes, he's rather jealous of anyone.
 * Devlin: Where'd you get the key? Off his chain?
 * Alicia: Yes.
 * Devlin: Let's hope the liquor doesn't run out and start him down the cellar for more.
 * Alicia: Oh, I hadn't thought about that.
 * Devlin: Quite a point.

 * Alicia: Alex, he's seen us.
 * Devlin: Wait a minute, I'm gonna kiss you.
 * Alicia: No, he'll only think we - No...
 * Devlin: It's what I want him to think.
 * [They kiss]
 * Devlin: Push me away.
 * Alex: I'm sorry to intrude on this tender scene.
 * Alicia: I couldn't help what happened. He's been drinking.
 * Alex: You love him.
 * Devlin: For what it's worth as an apology, your wife is telling the truth. I knew her before you, loved her before you. But I wasn't as lucky as you.
 * [Devlin leaves]
 * Alicia: Alex, don't be foolish. I-I came down because he threatened to make a scene...I couldn't stop him. I tried.
 * Alex: He kissed you.
 * Alex: He kissed you.

 * Alex: Mother, Mother.
 * Mme. Sebastian: Why are you up so early?
 * Alex: I need your help.
 * Mme. Sebastian: Something is wrong?
 * Alex: A great deal - Alicia.
 * Mme. Sebastian: I have expected it. I knew. I knew. What is it? Mr. Devlin?
 * Alex: No. I am married to an American agent.

 * Mme. Sebastian: Yes, it is easy to see now. I knew but I didn't see. They picked her because of her father.
 * Alex: I must have been insane, mad. Behaved like an idiot, to believe in her with her clinging kisses.
 * Mme. Sebastian: Stop wallowing in your foul memories.
 * Alex: Then what do I do? There's nothing to do. I'm done, finished. They'll find out.
 * Mme. Sebastian: They won't find out.
 * Alex: They'll find out what I'm married to. Look what they did to Emil Hupka, Emil who did nothing. And I've betrayed them, I've bungled and there's no excuse. I'd do the same myself - kill the fool that betrayed them.
 * Mme. Sebastian: There's no need for them to find out.
 * Alex: Mathis is very sharp.
 * Mme. Sebastian: Yes. He dislikes you. But his criticism of your talents wouldn't go that far to imagine that you are married to an American agent. You are protected by the enormity of your stupidity - for a time.
 * Alex: Alicia, I'll take care of her myself.
 * Mme. Sebastian: No, not that way. Let me arrange this one. Listen to me. No one must know what she is. There must be no suspicion of her, of you or me. She must be allowed to move about freely. But she will be on a leash. She will learn nothing further to inform. She must go, but it must happen slowly. If she could become ill and remain ill for a time, until...

 * Devlin: It gets a bit lonely squatting on a bench all day.
 * Alicia: Yes, Rio can be a very dull town.
 * Devlin: What's new?
 * Alicia: Nothing. What's new with you?
 * Devlin: Nothing. Any domestic troubles about the other night?
 * Alicia: No.
 * Devlin: Any footprints in that sand yet?
 * Alicia: No, nothing yet.
 * Devlin: Just a social visit, huh?
 * Alicia: A little fresh air helps.
 * Devlin: You don't look so hot...Sick?
 * Alicia: No. Hangover.
 * Devlin: That's news! Back to the bottle again, huh?
 * Alicia: It sort of lightens my chores.
 * Devlin: Big party?
 * Alicia: Just the family circle.
 * Devlin: Sounds quite jolly.
 * Alicia: It helps life in a dull town.
 * Devlin: You ought to take it easy on that liquor.
 * Alicia: Don't you find Rio a little hard to take too?
 * Devlin: Not a bad town. You look all mashed up. It must have been quite an evening.
 * Alicia: It was.
 * Devlin: OK, if you want to play that way, go on and have fun. No reason why you shouldn't.
 * Alicia: That's right, Dev.

 * Devlin: Alicia, Alicia, Alicia. What's wrong with you?
 * Alicia: I'm so glad you came.
 * Devlin: I had to. I couldn't stand anymore waiting and worrying about you. It wasn't a hangover you had that day. You were sick then. What is it?
 * Alicia: Yes, I was sick.
 * Devlin: What's wrong with you, Alicia?
 * Alicia: Oh Dev.
 * Devlin: What is it, dear? What's wrong with you?
 * Alicia: They're poisoning me. I couldn't get away from them. I tried but I was too weak.
 * Devlin: How long?
 * Alicia: Since the party. Alex and his mother found out.
 * Devlin: Come on, try to sit up. Sit up. I've got to get you out of here.
 * Alicia: I thought you had gone.
 * Devlin: No. I had to see you once and speak my peace. I was getting out because I love you. I couldn't bear seeing you and him together.
 * Alicia: Oh, you love me. Why didn't you tell me this before?
 * Devlin: I know. But I couldn't see straight or think straight. I was a fatheaded guy full of pain. It tore me up not having you.
 * Alicia: Oh you love me. You love me.
 * Devlin: Long ago. All the time. Since the beginning...Come on, try to sit up.
 * Alicia: Oh Dev. I'm afraid I-I can't make it because they gave me pills to sleep.
 * Devlin: Keep awake. Keep talking...
 * Alicia: They didn't want the others to know about me.
 * Devlin: Keep talking. Come on, what happened? What happened?
 * Alicia: Alex found out.
 * Devlin: And the others haven't?
 * Alicia: They'd kill him if they knew. They killed Emil.
 * Devlin: Are you in pain?
 * Alicia: I don't know - the pills...Say it again, it keeps me awake.
 * Devlin: I love you. Stand up. Stand up. Come on, wake up. Talk!

 * Alicia: Don't ever leave me.
 * Devlin: You'll never get rid of me again.
 * Alicia: I never tried to.

 * Alex: [to his Nazi conspirators] She collapsed. Mr. Devlin heard her scream when he was waiting for me.
 * Devlin: Yes, I telephoned the hospital as soon as I saw how she was.

 * Devlin: [closing and locking the car door] No room Sebastian.
 * Alex: But you must take me, they're watching me.
 * Devlin: That's your headache.
 * [They drive off to the hospital]
 * Nazi: There is no telephone in her room to call the hospital.
 * Eric Mathis: Alex, will you come in, please? I wish to talk to you.

P.S. Votes for deletion archive/Adam Copeland would answer your question to Kalki, hopefully (discussion is closed, please do not edit it further). --Aphaia 16:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Adam Copeland article
''Hello and good evening (at least where I'm from, haha). I was wondering whether you or any other administrator could answer a burning question I have... I had the time to surf Wikiquote for my favorite articles today and found that the article for professional wrestler Adam Copeland (a.k.a. Edge) has been deleted. I was pretty surprised when I found this out; I saw no good reason why this article should be deleted and I would really appreciate it whether you or any other administrator could help me understand why. Thanks. - User:Inviktos''

 * Some editors had raised issues on the quality of the article, especially regarding the unsourced status of all of the quotations that were used on that page and on many of the other pages for wrestlers. Votes for its deletion are recorded at Votes_for_deletion/Log/2006_November.

 * I personally very rarely get involved with the deletion arguments that arise on articles, and there are several editors who more regularly contend on the issues involved with deletions. Though I generally agree with the deletion of pages for extremely obscure and generally unknown people, I personally tend to prefer there be a poor or deficient article on widely noted people or works, which can then be improved and worked on by those interested in them, than that there be none at all, but I am aware that there have been many articles that get created by someone and never significantly improved upon.

 * I also must confess that there are many pages I have had little interest in actively defending or preserving, because I have had very little interest in working on them or improving myself, and the wrestling articles are among these. Those who are interested in creating or improving such pages should seek out quotes from dated matches or performances, or in published interviews, because the lack of them has been one of the primary problems. On any page most quotations on a page should preferably be sourced to specific works or dates so as to provide verifiability, and if the context or significance of a quotation is not plain within the statement itself, some comment should be added beneath the quotation which provides these. The lack of citation and context are two deficiences that are very common on most other quotation sites, and are among the top concerns that the regular editors at Wikiquote seek to address in the collections that are available here. ~ Kalki 21:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

 * To emphasize some of what Kalki has said, as one of the people who has nominated several of the pro-wrestling articles for deletion, the community consensus has been that pages without any verifiable and original quotes should not be kept. Verifiability is a fundamental (and non-negotiable) policy of Wikiquote and Wikimedia generally; Wikiquote allows unsourced quotes only to the extent that they are on their way to being sourced.  Many of the "quotes" on these wrestler pages are both unoriginal (the wrestler was clearly not the first person, or even the most notable person, to say it or something like it) and unverifiable.  (Note that some other-language Wikiquotes are even more strict; in French Wikiquote, no unsourced material is permitted.)  We haven't developed a standard practice for sourcing television shows of this sort; for scripted shows, the episode title and/or production ID is usually considered sufficient (although some admins, like Jeff Q, have suggested that the program elapsed time of the quote ought to be included as well).  Other editors would go further and require a written source to back up the text of the quote (since a transcription made by a Wikiquote editor is unpublished and therefore unverifiable-in-principle).  121a0012 17:53, 10 December 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 Sastry. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sastry~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 23:35, 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) 05:57, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
