Angus Young

Angus McKinnon Young (born March 31, 1955, in Glasgow, Scotland) is a rock guitarist who has been a member of Australian hard rock band AC/DC since the group was formed in 1973. Angus is known for his hard-edge blues style lead (and signature vibrato), wild stage energy, and schoolboy clothing style.

Quotes

 * I love the music from Nat King Cole, BB King, Albert King... When I think of it, I wouldn't mind being renamed Angus King.
 * Interview for the French TV channel M6 at the release of the album Razor's Edge.

 * If it was happening, I'd call it Heavenly Beast. If it wasn't happening, I usually call it Arsehole.
 * When asked if he specifically named his guitar. From Rolling Stone Magazine.

 * I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up in front of a crowd and rip it up.
 * Interview with NME magazine in October 1976

 * We want to appeal to everyone and get rich quick. We want to be millionaires. I've got this plan to buy Tasmania you see...
 * Interview with Sounds magazine in June 1976

 * It's just rock and roll. A lot of times we get criticized for it. A lot of music papers come out with: 'When are they going to stop playing these three chords?' If you believe you shouldn't play just three chords it's pretty silly on their part. To us, the simpler a song is, the better, 'cause it's more in line with what the person on the street is.
 * Interview with the Atlanta Gazette in May 1979

 * We're a rock group. We're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.
 * Bonfire Box Set

 * You should hear me on my own. It’s horrendous. I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, Geez, this is ridiculous.’
 * 1983 Interview in West Hollywood, California (Sunset Marquis Hotel)

 * I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.

 * The best AC/DC cover I've heard? There was an all-girl cover band in America, the Hell's Belles.
 * Blender, 2003

Related

 * "Angus Young's frantic over-the-top soloing has sparked many of AC/DC's biggest tunes. But beneath the reckless theatrics and naughty schoolboy images lurks a skilled guitarist."
 * ''Askold Bulk

Thanks for the info on the original German of the Lichtenberg quote. My initial search only gave one hit based on the portion of the quote I searched. I later found others and the aphorism number, and decided to organize as many of the quotes as I could today. The "ape" translation now has been given precedence over the more common "ass" version. ~ Achilles † 15:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hugo Chávez

I replaced a "the" by a "there" (If the is no -> If there is no). If someone can find a proper version or translation of the quote please do so
 * "The south also exists... the future of the north depends on the south. If we don't make that better world possible, if we fail, and through the rifles of the U.S. Marines, and through Mr. Bush's murderous bombs, if there is no coincidence and organization necessary in the south to resist the offensive of neo-imperialism, and the Bush doctrine is imposed upon the world, the world will be destroyed."

As something doesn't sound right.

--A Sunshade Lust 16:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

 * This is probably about "if they don't coincide and organize" (both needed) referring to the people of the south.

Unsourced

 * This ambition to accumulate money and wealth is one of the causes of the downfall of humanity.

Will Wright

William Ralph "Will" Wright (born January 20, 1960) is an American computer game designer and co-founder of the video game developer, Maxis. He is best known as the original designer of the two groundbreaking computer games SimCity and The Sims.

Quotes

 * Somebody asked me what I thought next generation meant and what about the PlayStation 3 was next generation. The only next gen system I've seen is the Wii - the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement.
 * Source: Guardian Unlimited

 * It almost feels like a zombie at this point; it's the walking dead. It's such an abrupt end to what was E3, which had been this huge escalating arms race....Right now we're in this kind of dicey, do we have an event, what event is it, which one do we go to? I think we're in an uncomfortable transition zone when really the real E3 died a couple of years ago."''
 * Will Wright describing the new restructure of the E3 Video Game trade show.
 * Source: kotaku.com

Attributed

 * In a movie, one can always pull back and condemn the character or the artist when they cross certain social boundaries. But in playing a game, we choose what happens to the characters. In the right circumstances, we can be encouraged to examine our own values by seeing how we behave within virtual space.

Ptahhotep

, sometimes known as Ptahhotpe or Ptah-Hotep, is the name of a vizier and philosopher. He was vizier to Djedkare Isesi.

The Maxims of Ptahhotep (c. 2350 BC)

 * Teach him what has been said in the past; then he will set a good example to the children of the magistrates, and judgement and all exactitude shall enter into him. Speak to him, for there is none born wise.
 * Introduction.

 * Do not be arrogant because of your knowledge, but confer with the ignorant man as with the learned. For knowledge has no limits, and none has yet achieved perfection in it. Good speech is more hidden than malachite, yet it is found in the possession of women slaves at the millstones.
 * Maxim no .1.

 * Truth is great and its effectiveness endures.
 * Maxim no. 5.

 * Follow your desire as long as you live and do not perform more than is ordered; do not lessen the time of following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit... When riches are gained, follow desire, for riches will not profit if one is sluggish.
 * Maxim no. 11.

 * Beware an act of avarice; it is bad and incurable disease.
 * Maxim no. 19.

 * If you are well-to-do and can maintain your household, love your wife in your home according to good custom...Make her happy while you are alive, for she is land profitable to her lord.
 * Maxim no. 21.

 * Do not repeat slander; you should not hear it, for it is the result of hot temper.
 * Maxim no. 23.

 * One who is serious all day will never have a good time, while one who is frivolous all day will never establish a household.
 * Maxim no. 25.

 * To resist him that is set in authority is evil.
 * Maxim no. 31.

 * Be cheerful while you are alive.
 * Maxim no. 34.

 * Be a craftsman in speech that thou mayest be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting.

Ben Moody

Ben Robert Moody II (born in Little Rock, Arkansas on January 22, 1981) is a former guitarist of the band Evanescence, which he co-founded with Amy Lee in 1994. After leaving Evanescence in 2003, Moody co-wrote the song The End Has Come from The Punisher film's soundtrack and co-wrote for a number of pop artists, including Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, and Lindsay Lohan. He released a solo album called "Can't Regret What You Don't Remember" in 2011.

As of June 2023 Ben is now divorced.

Music and business

 * "It's weird when you open up Billboard because you see your name next to 50 Cent and Madonna. I mean, 50 Cent who I grew up on for the last month."
 * "I used to do the rap [on Bring Me To Life], but people could not handle my flow."
 * "We'll just drink and go on."
 * On dealing with nerves about The Tonight Show with Jay Leno where Evanescence was to perform Bring Me To Life.

People

 * "She's not that attractive. I mean, she was hard to look at at first, but I figured, rough around the edges, but she can sing good."
 * about Amy Lee.
 * "We have faith in the people who support us. If they really like us, they're going to want to be cool enough to buy our music, and realize that if they don't, the record label gets our first-born child."

About religion and Evanescence being a Christian band

 * "We're actually high on the Christian charts, and I'm like, 'What the f*** are we even doing there?'"
 * About Fallen.
 * "As far as spiritually - the message we as a band want to convey more than anything is simple - God is Love. He is a just God, but a gracious God. All anyone seems to want to do these days is judge other people for things that they themselves are doing. It's so easy to feel completely and hopelessly alone. I used to visit a church that happened to openly support President Clinton. I remember more than once seeing people on the street in front of the church who were opposed to Clinton's stand on homosexuality. These people had their small children with them holding up signs that said "God Hates Fags". The children weren't even old enough to know what homosexuality was, all they knew was that they were supposed to hate them. The thing that bothered me was not their ignorance or their hateful standpoint, but that they called themselves Christians. The world is filled with hateful people who parade the name of Christ like a badge that grants them immunity to destroy anyone who disagrees with them and they are turning more people away from the love of Jesus than any other group of people in the world. The #1 cause of atheism is Christians... We only hope to offset that as much as we can... We hope to express in our music that Christianity is not a rigid list of rules to follow only out of fear of an unseen deity who will strike you down at any given moment if you fail."

 * "We're musicians who write about things that affect our life. If I was taking the trash out and was suddenly struck with the inspiration to write a song about it, I'd probably do it. Our relationship with Christ is one of the biggest parts of our lives so of course we tend to be heavily lyrically influenced by that. We didn’t just decide to become “Christian musicians”, it just happened that way."

 * "We’ve had the same dream from the beginning; to write with everything in us and totally do the music we love while at the same time using that as a tool to share with others what Christ has done in our lives."

Random stuff

 * "I don't even have a jeep, let alone a bomb-proof jeep."
 * "That's the most rock-and-roll story in the world. No one can top it."
 * On how he and Amy met in a youth camp.
 * "Something tells me a bomb would pretty much take our bus out."

Phil Brown (footballer)

Phil Brown (born 30 May 1959) was born in South Shields. He is a former professional footballer, mainly at Bolton Wanderers where he also became coach. In 2005 he became team manager of Derby County, where he developed his own particular variant of the English language, commonly known as 'Brownish'. His unusual syntactic structure often baffles the untrained ear, disorientating the listener. He was sacked from Derby in January 2006 and made manager of Hull City later that year. In his second season at Hull, he led the Tigers to promotion to the top flight for the first time in their history.

Charles Ives

Charles Ives (20 October 1874 – 19 May 1954) was an American classical composer, and also co-founder of the insurance firm Ives & Myrick. While he composed music for most of his life, he did so as an avocation: he made his living entirely as an executive for his insurance firm, writing a book Life Insurance with Relation to Inheritance Tax, which was highly regarded. His music drew on American hymn tunes, folk songs, and patriotic songs, in addition to music of the European tradition, and he was most famous for the dissonant simultaneities he produced by novel combination of these elements.

Quotes

 * The word "beauty" is as easy to use as the word "degenerate." Both come in handy when one does or does not agree with you.
 * Essays Before a Sonata (1920), p. 77.

 * Music is one of the ways that God has of beating in on man.
 * Newsletter, Institute for Studies in American Music, XXI (November 1, 1991).

 * Stand up and take your dissonance like a man.
 * Charles Ives' Rambunctious 'Fourth Of July', NPR Music (July 3, 2008).

Quotes about Ives

 * There is a great Man living in this country — a composer. He has solved the problem how to preserve one's self and to learn. He responds to negligence by contempt. He is not forced to accept praise or blame. His name is Ives.
 * Fellow composer Arnold Schoenberg, who was not normally given to praising his contemporaries, in a note in his private papers written in 1944 and found after his death; as quoted at Deccaclassics.com.
 * [Ives] was exploring the 1960s during the heyday of Strauss and Debussy. polytonality; atonality; tone clusters; perspectivistic effects; chance; statistical composition; permutation; add-a-part, practical-joke, and improvisatory music: these were ives’ discoveries a half-century ago as he quietly set about devouring the contemporary cake before the rest of us even found a seat at the same table.
 * Igor Stravinsky; as quoted at.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda (परमहंस योगानन्‍द; January 5, 1893 – March 7, 1952), born Mukunda Lal Ghosh, was an Indian yogi and guru who was instrumental in bringing Kriya Yoga to the West.

Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)

 * The life of Lord Krishna has been misunderstood by many Western commentators. Scriptural allegory is baffling to literal minds. A hilarious blunder by a translator will illustrate this point. The story concerns an inspired medieval saint, the cobbler Ravidas, who sang in the simple terms of his own trade of the spiritual glory hidden in all mankind:
 * Under the vast vault of blue
 * Lives the divinity clothed in hide.
 * One turns aside to hide a smile on hearing the pedestrian interpretation given to Ravidas' poem by a Western writer:
 * "He afterwards built a hut, set up in it an idol which he made from a hide, and applied himself to its worship."
 * (Chapter 42 - "Last Days With My Guru")

 * His interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita and other scriptures testify to the depth of Sri Yukteswarji's command of the philosophy, both Eastern and Western, and remain as an eye-opener for the unity between Orient and Occident. As he believed in the unity of all religious faiths, Sri Yukteswar Maharaj established Sadhu Sabha (Society of Saints) with the cooperation of leaders of various sects and faiths, for the inculcation of a scientific spirit in religion. (Chapter 42 - "Last Days With My Guru")

 * If by this superhuman concentration one succeeded in converting or resolving the two cosmoses with all their complexities into sheer ideas, he would then reach the causal world and stand on the borderline of fusion between mind and matter. There one perceives all created things — solids, liquids, gases, electricity, energy, all beings, gods, men, animals, plants, bacteria — as forms of consciousness, just as a man can close his eyes and realize that he exists, even though his body is invisible to his physical eyes and is present only as an idea. (Chapter 43 - "The Resurrection Of Sri Yukteswar")

 * Gandhi has sound economic and cultural reasons for encouraging the revival of cottage industries, but he does not counsel a fanatical repudiation of all modern progress. Machinery, trains, automobiles, the telegraph have played important parts in his own colossal life! Fifty years of public service, in prison and out, wrestling daily with practical details and harsh realities in the political world, have only increased his balance, open-mindedness, sanity, and humorous appreciation of the quaint human spectacle. (Chapter 44 - "With Mahatma Gandhi At Wardha)

 * "Sri Yukteswar used to poke gentle fun at the commonly inadequate conceptions of renunciation. 'A beggar cannot renounce wealth,' Master would say. 'If a man laments: 'My business has failed; my wife has left me; I will renounce all and enter a monastery,' to what worldly sacrifice is he referring? He did not renounce wealth and love; they renounced him!' Saints like Gandhi, on the other hand, have made not only tangible material sacrifices, but also the more difficult renunciation of selfish motive and private goal, merging their inmost being in the stream of humanity as a whole." (Chapter 44 - "With Mahatma Gandhi At Wardha")

 * "Father, there is little to tell." She (Sri Anandamoyi Ma) spread her graceful hands in a deprecatory gesture. "My consciousness has never associated itself with this temporary body. Before I came on this earth, Father, 'I was the same.' As a little girl, 'I was the same.' I grew into womanhood, but still 'I was the same.' When the family in which I had been born made arrangements to have this body married, 'I was the same... And, Father, in front of you now, 'I am the same.' Ever afterward, though the dance of creation change[s] around me in the hall of eternity, 'I shall be the same.' (Chapter 45)

 * Brotherhood is an ideal better understood by example than precept! (Chapter 48 - "At Encinitas In California")

 * "'World' is a large term, but man must enlarge his allegiance, considering himself in the light of a world citizen," I continued "A person who truly feels: 'The world is my homeland; it is my America, my India, my Philippines, my England, my Africa,' will never lack scope for a useful and happy life. His natural local pride will know limitless expansion; he will be in touch with creative universal currents." (Chapter 48 - "At Encinitas In California")

Quotes drawn from the poem "Samadhi"

 * I exist without the cosmic shadow, But it could not live bereft of me; As the sea exists without the waves, But they breathe not without the sea. Dreams, wakings, states of deep turiya sleep, Present, past, future, no more for me, But the ever-present, all-flowing, I, I everywhere. Consciously enjoyable, Beyond the imagination of all expectancy, Is this, my samadhi state.

 * Thou art I, I am Thou, Knowing, Knower, Known, as One!

 * Not an unconscious state Or mental chloroform without wilful return, Samadhi but extends my realm of consciousness Beyond the limits of my mortal frame To the boundaries of eternity, Where I, the Cosmic Sea, Watch the little ego floating in Me.

 * Grosser light vanishes into eternal rays Of all-pervading Cosmic Joy. From Joy we come, For Joy we live, In the sacred Joy we melt.

 * I, the ocean of mind, drink all creation’s waves. The four veils of solid, liquid, vapor, light, Lift aright. Myself, in everything, Enters the Great Myself. Gone forever, The fitful, flickering shadows of a mortal memory. Spotless is my mental sky, Below, ahead, and high above. Eternity and I, one united ray. I, a tiny bubble of laughter, Have become the Sea of Mirth Itself.

Quotes drawn from the poem "What is Love?"

 * Love is the song of the soul, singing to God.

 * To gaze with looks of wonderment, And to serve all that lives, still or moving. This is to know what love is. He knows who lives it.

 * It is the call of the beauty — robed ones To worship the great Beauty. It is the call of God Through silent intelligences And starburst of feelings.

 * Love is the Heaven Toward which the flowers, rivers, nations, atoms, creatures — you and I Are rushing by the straight path of action right, Or winding laboriously on error’s path, All to reach haven there at last.

Quotes drawn from the poem "Nature’s Nature"

 * Away, the partial love That ‘boldens Nature to sit above Her Maker!

 * Nor doomsday’s thunderous roar, Dismantling earth and stars — The cosmic beauties all to mar — Not Nature’s murderous mutiny, Nor man’s exploding destiny Can touch me here.

 * In wrath I strike, and set the dark ablaze With the immortal spark of thought, By friction-process brought Of concentration And distraction. The darkness burns With a million tongues; And now I spy All past, all distant things, as nigh.

The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You, (2004) by Yogananda

 * In titling this work The Second Coming of Christ, I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth. He came two thousand years ago and, after imparting a universal path to God's kingdom, was crucified and resurrected; his reappearance to the masses now is not necessary for the fulfillment of his teachings. What is necessary is for the cosmic wisdom and divine perception of Jesus to speak again through each one's own experience and understanding of the infinite Christ Consciousness that was incarnate in Jesus. That will be his true Second Coming.

 * There is a distinguishing difference of meaning between Jesus and Christ. His given name was Jesus; his honorific title was "Christ." In his little human body called Jesus was born the vast Christ Consciousness, the omniscient Intelligence of God omnipresent in every part and particle of creation. This Consciousness is the "only begotten Son of God," so designated because it is the sole perfect reflection in creation of the Transcendental Absolute, Spirit or God the Father. It was of that Infinite Consciousness, replete with the love and bliss of God, that Saint John spoke when he said: "As many as received him [the Christ Consciousness], to them gave he power to become the sons of God." Thus according to Jesus' own teaching as recorded by his most highly advanced apostle, John, all souls who become united with Christ Consciousness by intuitive Self-realization are rightly called sons of God....

 * The saviors of the world do not come to foster inimical doctrinal divisions; their teachings should not be used toward that end. It is something of a misnomer even to refer to the New Testament as the "Christian" Bible, for it does not belong exclusively to any one sect. Truth is meant for the blessing and upliftment of the entire human race. As the Christ Consciousness is universal, so does Jesus Christ belong to all....

 * It is an erroneous assumption of limited minds that great ones such as Jesus, Krishna, and other divine incarnations are gone from the earth when they are no longer visible to human sight. This is not so... Jesus Christ is very much alive and active today. In Spirit and occasionally taking on a flesh-and-blood form, he is working unseen by the masses for the regeneration of the world. With his all-embracing love, Jesus is not content merely to enjoy his blissful consciousness in Heaven. He is deeply concerned for mankind and wishes to give his followers the means to attain the divine freedom of entry into God's Infinite Kingdom....

 * These teachings have been sent to explain the truth as Jesus intended it to be known in the world — not to give a new Christianity, but to give the real Christ-teaching: how to become like Christ, how to resurrect the Eternal Christ within one's Self...

 * Many sects, many denominations, many beliefs, many persecutions, many conflicts and upheavals have been created by misinterpretations. Now, Christ reveals the consummate message in the simple words he spoke to an ancient people in a less-advanced age of civilization. Read, understand, and feel Christ speaking to you through this "Second Coming" bible, urging you to be redeemed by realization of the true "Second Coming," the resurrection within you of the Infinite Christ Consciousness.

 * How do the receptive perceive truth, whereas the unreceptive "seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand"? The ultimate truths of heaven and the kingdom of God, the reality that lies behind sensory perception and beyond the cogitations of the rationalizing mind, can only be grasped by intuition — awakening the intuitive knowing, the pure comprehension, of the soul.

 * Christ has been much misinterpreted by the world. Even the most elementary principles of his teachings have been desecrated, and their esoteric depths have been forgotten. They have been crucified at the hands of dogma, prejudice, and cramped understanding. Genocidal wars have been fought, people have been burned as witches and heretics, on the presumed authority of man-made doctrines of Christianity. How to salvage the immortal teachings from the hands of ignorance? We must know Jesus as an Oriental Christ, a supreme yogi who manifested full mastery of the universal science of God-union, and thus could speak and act as a savior with the voice and authority of God.

 * Divine incarnations do not come to bring a new or exclusive religion, but to restore the One Religion of God-realization. Many are the churches and temples founded in his name, often prosperous and powerful, but where is the communion that he stressed — actual contact with God? Jesus wants temples to be established in human souls, first and foremost; then established outwardly in physical places of worship. Instead, there are countless huge edifices with vast congregations being indoctrinated in churchianity, but few souls who are really in touch with Christ through deep prayer and meditation.

 * The lack of individual prayer and communion with God has divorced modern Christians and Christian sects from Jesus' teaching of the real perception of God, as is true also of all religious paths inaugurated by God-sent prophets whose followers drift into byways of dogma and ritual rather than actual God-communion. Those paths that have no esoteric soul-lifting training busy themselves with dogma and building walls to exclude people with different ideas. Divine persons who really perceive God include everybody within the path of their love, not in the concept of an eclectic congregation but in respectful divine friendship toward all true lovers of God and the saints of all religions.

 * The heart of the great dispensation of Jesus has survived not necessarily in any temporal power of an outer institution, but in those great devotees and saints whose protracted devotions and meditations established within them temples of Christ Consciousness and God-communion... It is such saints and masters who have actually communed with God — those known to history as well as countless anonymous true souls devoted to Christ, hidden in monasteries and convents in wholehearted consecration — who have verily been the "rock" on which Jesus' inner church of Christ communion has endured these two thousand years.

Miscellaneous Quotes

 * In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping, Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving, My soul constantly hums, unheard by any; God, God, God!
 * From Yogananda's poem "God, God, God!", Autobiography of a Yogi, Chapter 37

 * The Body melts into the universe The universe melts into the soundless voice The sound melts into the all-shining light And the light enters the bosom of infinite joy. p36, Metaphysical Meditations

Quotes about Yogananda

 * Yogananda draws parallels between the Christian trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the yoga concept of Sat, Tat and Aum. Both traditions use the trinity to distinguish among the transcendent, divine reality; its immanence in creation; and a sacred, cosmic vibration that sustains the universe, he says. And he asserts that Bible passages used to exclude non-Christians from salvation have been misconstrued. Some Christians believe, for instance, that Jesus' saying that "no one comes to the Father except through me" requires a belief in Jesus the man as God and personal savior. Yogananda, however, asserts that Jesus was referring to the need to achieve the same "Christ consciousness" he personified as a way to achieve oneness with God. "Christ has been much misinterpreted by the world," Yogananda wrote. "Even the most elementary principles of his teachings have been desecrated, and their esoteric depths have been forgotten."
 * Teresa Watanabe, in Los Angeles Times (11 December 2004)

 * Autobiography of a Yogi was one book in particular that stayed with former Apple CEO, the late Steve Jobs his entire life—this guide to meditation and spirituality that he had first read as a teenager, then re-read in India, and had read once a year ever since.
 * Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson. Quoted from Gewali, Salil (2013). Great Minds on India. New Delhi: Penguin Random House.

Ken Thompson

Kenneth Lane Thompson (born 4 February 1943) is a computer scientist and winner of the 1983 Turing Award, together with Dennis Ritchie. He is notable for his work on the Unix operating system.

Quotes

 * You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself. (Especially code from companies that employ people like me.) No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code.
 * "Reflections on Trusting Trust", 1983 Turing Award Lecture, Communications of the ACM 27 (8), August 1984, pp. 761-763.

 * The press, television, and movies make heroes of vandals by calling them whiz kids. ... There is obviously a cultural gap. The act of breaking into a computer system has to have the same social stigma as breaking into a neighbor's house. It should not matter that the neighbor's door is unlocked.
 * "Reflections on Trusting Trust", 1983 Turing Award Lecture, Communications of the ACM 27 (8), August 1984, pp. 761-763.

 * "I've seen [visual] editors like that, but I don't feel a need for them. I don't want to see the state of the file when I'm editing."
 * Thompson on the superiority of ed to editors such as today's vi or emacs, as summarized by Peter Salus in A Quarter Century of UNIX (Addison-Wesley, 1994).

 * Ken Thompson was once asked what he would do differently if he were redesigning the UNIX system. His reply: "I'd spell creat with an e."
 * , p. 204.

 * grep was a private command of mine for quite a while before i made it public.

 * When in doubt, use brute force.

 * Unix was built for me. I didn't build it as an operating system for other people, I built it to do games, and to do my stuff. I was always into games, games was my thing. I used to play pinball machines, and I would pick the lock in the back of pinball machines. Then I'd study the diagrams that I had. That's where I learned a lot of this kind of logic.

Plan 9 fortune file (1992)

 * Quotations from the fortune command included with the Plan 9 operating system (1992)

 * We have persistent objects, they're called files.

 * If you want to go somewhere, goto is the best way to get there.

 * The X server has to be the biggest program I've ever seen that doesn't do anything for you.
 * Thompson later followed up: "I now realize that X was just miles ahead in its programming style."

 * Hi, this is Ken. What's the root password?

 * 'Gigabit' seems to mean 600 megabits. It's a VAX gigabit.

 * There's going to be no serious problem after this.

 * It does everything Unix does only less reliably.
 * (In response to the question, "Can you sum up plan 9 in layman's terms?")

"Unix and Beyond: An Interview with Ken Thompson," 1999
"Unix and Beyond: An Interview with Ken Thompson", Computer 32 (5), May 1999, pp. 58-64

 * I am a very bottom-up thinker. If you give me the right kind of Tinker Toys, I can imagine the building. I can sit there and see primitives and recognize their power to build structures a half mile high, if only I had just one more to make it functionally complete. I can see those kinds of things.

 * I think the major good idea in Unix was its clean and simple interface: open, close, read, and write.

 * Unix was a very small, understandable OS, so people could change it at their will. It would run itself—you could type "go" and in a few minutes it would recompile itself. You had total control over the whole system. So it was very beneficial to a lot of people, especially at universities, because it was very hard to teach computing from an IBM end-user point of view. Unix was small, and you could go through it line by line and understand exactly how it worked. That was the origin of the so-called Unix culture.

 * In Plan 9 and Inferno, the key ideas are the protocol for communicating between components and the simplification and extension of particular concepts. In Plan 9, the key abstraction is the file system—anything you can read and write and select by names in a hierarchy—and the protocol exports that abstraction to remote channels to enable distribution. Inferno works similarly, but it has a layer of language interaction above it through the Limbo language interface—which is like Java, but cleaner I think.

 * I view Linux as something that's not Microsoft — a backlash against Microsoft, no more and no less. I don't think it will be very successful in the long run. I've looked at the source and there are pieces that are good and pieces that are not. A whole bunch of random people have contributed to this source, and the quality varies drastically. My experience and some of my friends' experience is that Linux is quite unreliable. Microsoft is really unreliable but Linux is worse. In a non-PC environment, it just won't hold up. If you're using it on a single box, that's one thing. But if you want to use Linux in firewalls, gateways, embedded systems, and so on, it has a long way to go.
 * Anything new will have to come along with the type of revolution that came along with Unix. Nothing was going to topple IBM until something came along that made them irrelevant. I'm sure they have the mainframe market locked up, but that's just irrelevant. And the same thing with Microsoft: until something comes along that makes them irrelevant, the entry fee is too difficult and they won't be displaced.

"Ken Thompson clarifies matters", 1999
"Ken Thompson clarifies matters", Linux Today. May 7, 1999.

 * I think the open software movement (and Linux in particular) is laudable.

 * I do believe that in a race, it is naive to think Linux has a hope of making a dent against Microsoft starting from way behind with a fraction of the resources and amateur labor. (I feel the same about Unix.)

 * I must say the Linux community is a lot nicer than the Unix community. A negative comment on Unix would warrant death threats. With Linux, it is like stirring up a nest of butterflies.

"Coders At Work", 2009

 * I would try out the [C++] language [at AT&T] as it was being developed and make comments on it. It was part of the work atmosphere there. And you'd write something and then the next day it wouldn't work because the language changed. It was very unstable for a very long period of time. At some point, I said, no, no more. In an interview I said exactly that, that I didn't use it because it wouldn't stay still for two days in a row. When Stroustrup read the interview he came screaming into my room about how I was undermining him and what I said mattered and I said it was a bad language.
 * Ken Thompson; cited in

 * [C++] certainly has its good points. But by and large I think it's a bad language. It does a lot of things half well and it’s just a garbage heap of ideas that are mutually exclusive. Everybody I know, whether it’s personal or corporate, selects a subset and these subsets are different. So it’s not a good language to transport an algorithm—to say, "I wrote it; here, take it." It’s way too big, way too complex. And it’s obviously built by a committee. Stroustrup campaigned for years and years and years, way beyond any sort of technical contributions he made to the language, to get it adopted and used. And he sort of ran all the standards committees with a whip and a chair. And he said "no" to no one. He put every feature in that language that ever existed. It wasn't cleanly designed—it was just the union of everything that came along. And I think it suffered drastically from that.
 * Ken Thompson; cited in

 * I used to [look at the Linux source code], for Plan 9. They were always ahead of us—they just had massively more resources to deal with hardware. So when we'd run across a piece of hardware, I'd look at the Linux drivers for it and write Plan 9 drivers for it. Now I have no reason to look at it. I run Linux. And I occasionally look at code, but rarely, so I can't really tell whether the quality has gotten better or not [since 1999]. But certainly the reliability has gotten better.
 * Ken Thompson; cited in

"Interview with Ken Thompson", 2011

 * When the three of us [Thompson, Rob Pike, and Robert Griesemer] got started, it was pure research. The three of us got together and decided that we hated C++. [laughter] ... [Returning to Go,] we started off with the idea that all three of us had to be talked into every feature in the language, so there was no extraneous garbage put into the language for any reason.
 * Ken Thompson, talking about the origins of the Go programming language

Quotes about Kenneth Thompson

 * Ken has always been a problem solver and a tool builder. He is equally excited by games, puzzles, and technology creation, and I don't think he really distinguishes among them.
 * Ritchie and Thompson made an amazing team; and they played Unix and C like a fine instrument. They sometimes divided up work almost on a subroutine-by-subroutine basis with such rapport that it almost seemed like the work of a single person. In fact, as Dennis has recounted, they once got their signals crossed and both wrote the same subroutine. The two versions did not merely compute the same result, they did it with identical source code! Their output was prodigious. Once I counted how much production code they had written in the preceding year − 100,000 lines! Prodigious didn’t mean slapdash. Ken and Dennis have unerring design sense. They write code that works, code that can be read, code that can evolve.

Violation of Wikiquote policies
0waldo, you may find my attempt to be reasonable and communicative entertaining, but I am just like all of the other "A.K.C.s" in that I try to treat the Wikiquote community members with respect wherenever possible, and encourage everyone to follow its policies. Those few of us who work on WQ on a frequent basis, especially the sysops, all have decent "personalities" and all try hard to maintain a respectful dialog with editors, but there are many editors who simply refuse either to read the policies, listen to helpful suggestions, or show any sign of trying to become a useful member of the community. There's only so much rope we'll give a noncooperative editor to hang themselves before we'll get serious about violations like Wikipedia does. After your repeated demonstrations of ignorance of WQ's practices and policies after being given pointers and suggestions, your rude comments to multiple editors in violation of wiki civility policy, and your attempt to record multiple illegal unsigned Walter Muncaster VfD votes, all without any real attempt to address the basic notability issue raised, I think you've reached the end of your rope. Further edits in violation of WQ policy will result in your being blocked for a short time, the time increasing for every incident.

This is not likely to have any direct bearing on the vote itself (except for your ability to post further comments or change your vote, of course), but since you have already done a masterful job at reinforcing the prevailing sentiment that the article should be deleted, I suggest you start paying attention to our attempts to encourage you to participate usefully and civilly on Wikiquote. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:41, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

We take this work quite seriously. If you feel compelled to trash it nonetheless, I'm sure you'll eventually get your complete wish. Please consider a more useful tack. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:36, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm back :) 0waldo 17:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Jeffer :) Privyet! I added my page back as "walt muncaster" sort of a clean slate if you will ( or won't for that matter ). I was despondent over the deletion of my old page; I even tried to commit Harry Kerri but the rubber commando knife kept bending. Realizing that I could not "take a stab at it" (pardon the despicable pun) I took her to the local magistrate: He promptly gave her a razor, told her to shave and after having her committed, he felt as though he had committed Harry Kerri, or had Kerri then committed her as she shaved and was not Harry henceforth, but Kerri. We all then promptly went out and played a square game of golf with some crooked betters with round balls that knew no better about not being able to bet on round balls at a square game!  Anyway!!  Hope you like the new page! It is sourced and everything! Clean, procedurally correct, shiny, new and ready to drive :) I remain, for all, the total genius that I am: Munchovie (A.K.A.) Waldo  0waldo 15:41, 17 January 2006 (UTC)  !Es un día más un día menos! :) sooooooooooooooo.... ¡partido! mi amigo P.S.^2 ¡despida al Slimfast, le dará una resaca horrible o por lo menos un sistema libre de boletos al cine rocoso del horror!

Theme with variations

 * I keep adding my page with the 'walter muncaster' notable quote that is verified and someone keeps deleting it! Since it's notable, verified sourced, etc., why should it be deleted ? Remember now, go by the rules :)

Your tune is nothing but a theme with variations, I'm afraid. That theme is "trolling", in that you continue to ignore Wikiquote guidelines, despite your claims, and create a lot of work for already overworked editors. I have no reason to believe you will pay attention this time, either, but for the record, I will list the problems: I am not a fan of your tune, having heard other variations on it many times in the past year. You seem to be a very creative person, so I am hoping you will move on to more constructive forms of amusement. Personally, I have far too much to do to spend time chit-chatting with someone who clearly has no interest this project besides self-promotion. Sorry to be so blunt, but want to make my position clear here so that I can stop feeding the trolls, as the common Wiki advice goes. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) You were asked many times to provide verifiable evidence of your notability, which you seem to interpret as "because I said so". The closest you've ever come to actual evidence is claiming to have been quoted in a web-based magazine, without providing any links or specific dates. I looked you up at Computer Graphics World, and found it to require too much registration hassle to browse the information I was looking for. My quick searches there didn't turn up anything that convinced me that you meet our usual notability guidelines. Had you presented even this much information during the VfD, we probably would have had a substantive discussion, like many we've had in the past, about the fine line of notability, although I don't know if the result would have been any different. But because your entire approach was merely to be outraged that we didn't accept your claims at face value, then insult conscientious editors who dared to challenge your unsupported assertions, you made it very clear that you were simply a garden-variety vanity editor.
 * 2) Your repeated recreations (under different names) of a quote article that was voted for deletion are a flagrant violation of standard Wikimedia policies, not just Wikiquote. (For our specific policy, which I'm afraid you won't even bother to read, see speedy deletion case #5.) This alone is justification for blocking you, except…
 * 3) You have been using a variety of IP addresses to create these dodgy articles, not only suggesting an awareness that you are violating policy by avoiding a direct connection to your user ID, but also demonstrating considerable effort in forcing sysops to block many different IPs to limit your continued policy violations. If you continue this, we may be forced to throw a range block against these addresses (which hurts other users of those networks) and to notify the relevant ISPs that you are using their assets to disrupt a website.

Another block
I have blocked you again for 1 week because of repeated disruptions, including an attempt to nominate a user for deletion. You continue to show no interest, let alone appreciation, in what this project is about, and your repeated bad-faith edits only reinforce the case for blocking you. If and when you return, if you have a complaint about my actions (or the actions of any sysop), you should bring it up at Administrators' noticeboard. (I'll warn you, though, that other adminstrators often have less patience than I do for people who show little interest in learning how the project works and how to be an effective Wikiquotian. If you want to be taken seriously, you might considering reading Policies and guidelines first.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Plea for WP assistance

 * Jeff ! I need you help, they blocked me over at wikipedia for bashing the 3R rule! Please contact user Cburnett and vouch for my Caricature :) 0waldo 03:41, 19 March 2006 (UTC) THANKS PAL - You are i.n.a. GOLDEN shower at the end of the rainbow :)

Walter, I'm afraid you are operating under some misconceptions. First, I am not a good caricature (ha-ha) reference for you. You should recall that I have usually disagreed with your situation assessments and have several times blocked you for violating Wikiquote policies and practices. While I find your non-wiki work interesting and admit that there can occasionally be some rough charm to your discourses, you are far too confrontational and heedless of wiki practices, in my humble opinion, to merit serious attention in your pleas. Second, your postings often suggest a lack of awareness of the issues that people have with your editing. This makes you seem unable to comprehend the reasons why you are being blocked for these actions, which is probably why some of the WP editors are suggesting you have mental difficulties. (I am not a psychiatrist, but I think you just find this activity amusing and are quite aware of why you keep getting blocked.)

One establishes the respect of one's wiki peers by composing neutrally written material, based on verifiable information and preferably backed up with sources, that doesn't serve to promote one's own non-wiki work. I don't see that you will ever regain the assumption of good faith that you have lost until you spend a considerable amount of time and effort making edits that don't patently promote your own work. Since this appears to be your main interest in participating in MediaWiki projects, I, like many others, don't believe it's a good investment of my time to try to get you to change your behavior. But as you obviously know, there are times when the eternal optimist in me can't help trying. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:02, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Jeff, you know, for the record, you are my totally favorite editor/sysop/neo-deity /etc., that hangs around this miserable place! I knew when I put it down my caricature request that you would not help me but I also knew that you would, which is what I like about you – seemingly definitive! I also like your composition skills and your ability to creatively express yourself in letter, and very much your tie-dye T shirt and the whole dimension persona. But I have to tell you, additionally, that you could have to come to the aid of brothers/comrades when they suffer from battle wounds, even if they are not close enough to conveniently pull them from the wrath of the enemy. An example might be: when all the other jack-legged, neo-editors, brainac-wannabe junior-pre-op-editors over at Wiki‘Pedia are pelting Waldo with dirt-clods, old smelly tennis-pumps, blackened avocadoes and the like, I would like to feel the comfort in knowing that you would be there for me (even incognito as an added dimension or preferably a batman outfit) to slip me a large, unused galvanized post 1959 garbage can lid to aid your scoundrel friend! Anyway, enough of this crap shoot: I have successfully obtained my State of California blue handicapped place card, conquered my fear of coming out of the closet concerning my official braindecapped status - I can now fully park in and around the L.A. area for no coins bro! I remain, fully and totally benevolent to the keepers of the free media at large in and around the South Bay area moreover I promise always to appear myself and/or others as applicable to all. 0waldo 18:01, 20 March 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 0waldo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name 0waldo~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 23:16, 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) 05:40, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Sir Leslie Joseph Hooker
Now redirect to Leslie Joseph Hooker (and double redirect to another page). I am not sure if we need a redirect with style. --Aphaia 04:03, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Vote closes : 18 Oct 2005 12:00 (UTC) 25 Oct 2005 12:00 (UTC)
 * Extended by a week. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 19:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * VOTE CLOSED. Result: redirect to Advertising slogans. Even though 1 vote isn't really a consensus, the comments suggest this nomination was due to a failure to check for double redirects, so it should have been just a matter of fixing a redirect anyway. Both redirects violate the principle of least astonishment, but I don't feel comfortable unilaterally invoking this for a VfD at this time. We can always review these redirects down the road. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:24, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: sorry, my bad. I merged the LJH page into Advertising slogans, and didn't check for double redirects. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to advertising slogans. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 04:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: We really should have an explanation here of why a person's name is being redirected to Advertising slogans. I'd never heard of this person, but I'll take a shot. L.J. Hooker, founded by Sir Leslie Joseph Hooker, is an Australian real-estate company. According to its WP article, its slogan is "nobody does it better"™, which was not in the quote article. What was there was "Real estate is not about houses, it’s about people." Neither is in "Advertising slogans" at the moment. This is all quite confusing, and doesn't make it easy for the community to evaluate this nomination. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:55, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikiquote:Votes for deletion archive/Katherine Whitehorn

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

The result was: no consensus. — Jeffq 08:26, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Katherine Whitehorn
No wp article, google hits point at one PubMed publication and a personal blog one the first page. It could still be she's notable, but it doesn't seem so. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 08:08, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Vote closes: 19 Oct 2005 12:00 (UTC)
 * Vote extended to 5 December 2005, 12:00 (UTC). I wanted to close this overdue vote, but I don't feel comfortable interpreting the dialog. There's 1 official Delete, 1 "inclined to keep", and perhaps an implicit delete from the nominator, but it's somewhat unclear. (Moshe usually registers a clear vote, so I'm inclined to interpret his lack of vote as a query for information.) Therefore, I've extended the close date for 1 more week. If no clearer votes are registered, I will consider the current state insufficient consensus. Two deletes to 1 keep, even when unambiguous, is barely a consensus, so I feel it needs to be clear to call it as anything but a no-consensus keep (especially when I've registered the only official Delete). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * VOTE CLOSED. Result: no consensus (default keep), per above paragraph. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:26, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided. I did find a 1970 book, Observations, by a "Katherine Whitehorn" on Amazon UK, but not enough information to indicate if it's the same person. The original article was created along with a bunch of others which were merely single quotes and links to quote-fox, our infamous quote spammer. There's enough circumstantial evidence to make me want to vote "keep", but we want reliable sources and notability. Do any Wikiquotians have a copy of or access to Observations? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:14, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: though I found any copy of her book, but found a quote spam on blog comment areas attributed to her, and another quote on a Japanese quote page. The site owner said he found a quote from her on a quotation book in English. I concur with Moshe - she could be notable but not so much perhaps like Nadine Gordiner or other authors. Unless we decide to delete all quote-fox spamming, I incline to keep it currently. --Aphaia 06:32, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thanks, yes, when I don't vote I mean not to vote -- sorry for not making it clearer. I usually try to vote, because I know how small the quorums usually are and I want to make the problem less acute. However, in this case, I felt I'm really not sure what to do. Jeff implied that she did publish a book, which is usually enough to determine notability here. However, nobody is sure if it the same person, even, which is sad. If anyone has a copy of the book, and wants to add quotations from it to the article, I think the best thing would be to add a "...is an author who wrote...", see if there's any bio-details on the jacket, and move the quote to talk pending some clearer attribution/sourcing. Barring that, I'm really not sure what would be the best for the project. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Images which have been uploaded here but have versions in commons. I would also like people who are involved in the discussion to comment whether "Image exists in commons" could be considered an SD criterion.

 * Vote closed. Result: delete all listed images (3 Deletes; no dissent). I'll post a note about the SD comments on Wikiquote talk:Speedy deletions. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete images ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * And in case I wasn't clear, I do want such an SD policy. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 09:36, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all. I support a policy change to speedy-delete all images that exist on Wikimedia Commons, since (A) deleting the image here will have no noticeable effect on its presentation here since they're automatically fetched from Commons, and (B) this is the general direction the Wikimedia Foundation is moving in. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:59, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all these images. I also support the SD policy change, since this would eliminate what appear to be redundant images. UDScott 14:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * COMMENT: For those reviewing this VFD at a later date, please note that the reason the image links still work is not because someone re-uploaded the images; it's because they're being automatically fetched from Commons, as planned. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
