This Wikiquote project is in simple English, so it is easier to read and understand. If you want to see the Wikiquote project in regular English, see [[:en:|en.wikiquote.org]]. Wikiquote has quotes, and then below it there is the same quote, but in simple english. Currently not all quotes are like that. We would love it if you would make the quotes in simple english because not many of them are set up that way. Wikiquote uses a special kind of Internet webpage maker called a [[w:wiki|wiki]]. A wiki lets you edit almost every page on this site. Here you can use a wiki to make pages about quotes and the people who said them. Also, we will keep links to webpages that have quotes and we will translate quotes from them. Wikiquote is run by the [[w:Wikimedia|Wikimedia]] Foundation. They are a non-profit group that wishes to give out all kinds of information in a [[:en:Wikipedia:Copyrights|special way]] and in many languages. The information in Wikimedia projects does not have copyrights. Wikimedia operates several other projects. Simple English Wikiquote is small. We need many pages, like the red links below. Please help SE Wikiquote by creating new pages. If you wish, you may also request new pages at [[Wikiquote:Requested entries|Requested entries]]. But, we want only pages which are not copyrighted by someone else. You can copy a short quote from somewhere. But you can't copy a list of quotes from a copyrighted book or other copyrighted source. Please, when you put a quote on a page, write the title, author, year and other things about the book where you found the quote. See [[:wikipedia:simple:Wikipedia:How to write Simple English articles|How to write Simple English articles]] which is a page on the Simple English Wikipedia. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr valign="top"><th style="background-color: #e2e2ff; border: 2px solid #e2e2ff; border-bottom: none; padding-top: 0.3em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; font-size: large;" align="center"; width="70%"> '''Selected Pages''' </th> <th>&nbsp;</th> <th style="background-color: #faf9b2; border: 2px solid #faf9b2; border-bottom: none; padding-top: 0.3em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; font-size: large;" align="center"> '''[[Wikiquote:Community Portal|Community]]''' </th> </tr> <tr valign="top"><td style="background-color: #f8f8ff; border: 2px solid #e2e2ff; border-top: none; padding: 0.6em; padding-top: none;"> <table border=0 align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" align="right">'''[[Special:Newpages|New&nbsp;pages]]''':&nbsp;</td> <td> <!-- last eleven only: add to top, remove from bottom, including last dash --> [[Robert Cecil, 1st Viscount Cecil of Chelwood|Lord Robert Cecil]] - [[William Carlos Williams]] - [[William Joyce]] - [[James Wood]] - [[Nii Parkes]] - [[Roddy Piper]] - [[Bruce Forsyth]] - [[Thomas Fuller (physician)|Thomas Fuller]] - ''[[Ask a Ninja]]'' - [[James Woods]] - ''[[The Idiot Weekly]]'' </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="right">'''[[List of people by name|People]]''':&nbsp;</td> <td> [[Douglas Adams]] - [[Aristotle]] - [[Emily Brontë]] - [[Leo Burnett]] - [[Ali ibn Abi Talib]] - [[Rodney Dangerfield]] - [[Albert Einstein]] - [[Federico Fellini]] - [[Mohandas Gandhi]] - [[Jean-Luc Godard]] - [[John Keats]] - [[Helen Keller]] - [[Timothy Leary]] - [[Richard Lovelace]] - [[John F.

Sometimes, we do not agree with the people who say the quotes and what they believe. The people who say quotes are very different, but they all take a lot of imortant information and make it into a good sentence or two. The people who say quotes do a lot of things to us when we read the quotes. The quotes make us want to find out more about the people who say them. They make us want to think about our lives. Sometimes they make us happy. Sometimes they just make us feel good about the words the speakers use and how they use those words. Quotes will always be around to tell others about us. They will always show the most interesting parts of our world. Quotes are also good things to pass down to our children. Then they will keep making people feel good. Wikiquote:Common questions 5 5091 2006-12-22T02:57:37Z Coppertwig 52 reverting mysterious numbers '''Q: How do I add a quote by a person who does not have a page on Simple English Wikiquote?''' A: First, go to the [[list of people by name]]. Put an entry for them on that page. How? Click on the '''Edit this page''' link on this left side of the page or at the top of the page. A text window will come up; it will show all of the text of the page. Add the entry by making a link to the page of the person you want to make. A link in a wiki is made with <nowiki>[[double brackets]]</nowiki>. If you want to make a quote page for ''John Doe'', you type <nowiki>[[John Doe]]</nowiki>. Then, click the '''save page''' button right under the text box. You should see something like <font color="red"><u>John Doe</u></font> come up when the page loads. When the entry is in the [[list of people by name]], click on the link for the name you added. You will see another text box come up. Before you add any quotes, write a few sentences about the person and what they did. If ''John Doe'' is a famous leader, go ahead and write something about that. Then you can add the quotes. If you saw a quote on a website, you should type its address. You only need to type the link in <nowiki>[single brackets]</nowiki> when the link does not go to a wiki site. Before you begin, read the [[Wikiquote:Template|template]] to see how to type your page just right. When you finish, (don't forget to click on '''save page''') make a link from the [[list of people by job]] to the page you made. If the person of the page you made has a [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] page, you can put a link to it on your simple English Wikiquote page about them. Go back to the page you made. If ''John Doe'' has a page at Wikipedia, type <nowiki>[[w:John Doe|]]</nowiki>. It should look like <font color="blue"><u>John Doe</u></font>. When you do that, go back to their Wikipedia page. Add a link to their Wikiquote page that looks like this: <nowiki>[[q:John Doe|]]</nowiki>. It should look like <font color="blue"><u>John Doe</u></font> again. '''Q: Can I add a quote even if I do not know who said it?''' A: Yes. You can add it to the page called [[no name]]. It would be even better if you could find out who said it by looking around on the Internet. '''Q: Can I add a quote even if the person who said it is not famous?''' A: Right now, we are working on how to deal with quotes by people who are not famous. Until then, you should put the quote in the [[no name]] page. ==Related links== [[:en:Help:Starting a new page|Starting a new page]] from [[:en:Main Page|English Wikiquote]] [[Category:Wikiquote]] Wikiquote:History of Wikiquote 6 1855 2004-08-07T19:12:06Z Merovingian 1 added this page The first '''Wikiquote''', a project that is like [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], was started on June 27, 2003. At first it had to put on the Wolof wiki. It was moved to the Wikipedia server on July 10, 2003. The [[w:simple English|simple English]] Wikiquote has {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} pages. Wikiquote:Announcements 7 4045 2006-05-28T17:29:35Z Archer7 32 /* How the site works */ The '''announcements page''' is a place for you to place a message about Wikiquote. ==How the site works== Wikiquote uses [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki]. The newest kind of MediaWiki is: 1.7.0 If you want to know more, read [[Special:Version|the version page]]. ==News about Wikiquote== === Restart === The Simple English Wikiquote has now been restarted after a long time. However, some people have also asked for it to be [[m:Proposals for closing projects|closed]]. [[User:Archer7|Archer7]] 17:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC) Wikiquote:Welcome, newcomers 8 4067 2006-05-29T21:50:27Z Archer7 32 /* The Wikiquote community */ [[Wikiquote:Wikiquote|Wikiquote]] is a free '''collection''' of quotes written by people like you. To make your own free user account go to [[Special:Userlogin]]. There are three things you can do on Wikiquote. You can read it, you can change it, and you can write it. There are some things that [[Wikiquote:What Wikiquote is not|do not belong]] on Wikiquote, but other than those, all other changes are good. == Reading == Reading is easy. Go to the [[Main Page]], find a subject that you are curious about, and start looking around. There is also a search box at the top of every page. If you read something, and you like it, why not drop a note on the page's talk page? First click on the '''Discuss this page''' link, to go to the talk page, and then click on the '''Edit this page''' link when you get to the talk page. We always love to get a note about something you read on Wikiquote. If there is something that you can't find, just ask us at the [[Wikiquote:Information desk|information desk]], or add the thing you want to be added to our list of [[Wikiquote:Requests|requests]]. == Changing == Everyone can change any page in Wikiquote including this page - just select the '''Edit this Page''' link on the top or bottom of this page if you think it needs help. You don't need to know a lot of special information; you don't even need to be [[Special:Userlogin|logged in]]. You can try your hand at editing in our [[wikiquote:Sandbox|sandbox]]. An easy way to start helping is just to use Wikiquote just like you would any other collection of quotations, but when you see a problem like a spelling mistake, or a messy sentence, then go ahead and fix it. [[Wikiquote:Don't be afraid to change a page|Don't be afraid]] to change something. If you see a way of making a page better, do it. If you make a mistake, '''it's OK'''. Somebody else will fix it if you don't want to. You might find changing pages a bit scary! See [[Wikiquote:Replies to common objections|Replies to common objections]] to see why the site works. == Writing == Changing what we know is great, but we want you to give what you know too. You can [[Wikiquote:How to start a page|start a brand new page]], or find a page that is already here and add a new section to it. Remember: If you get something wrong, then you, or anyone, can always fix it later. ''Note:'' If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then don't submit it.

We also want Wikiquote to become something that people can trust will be right.'' Wikiquote has some '''rules''' that most users care about. We have these so that our pages look clean and people can understand them the way we want them to. These help us to work toward our goal. It is important to know that at some of these policies are still changing as Wikiquote grows. Some others, however, have been around a long time. Most people don't question these rules because they have worked for a long time. ==Basic rules== * '''Don't break copyrights.''' Wikiquote is a free collection from the [[w:GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License]]. Adding copyrighted work without permission is dangerous to our project. We want it to be free forever. See the [[Wikiquote:copyrights|Wikiquote copyrights]] page for more information. * '''Wikiquote is a collection of quotations.''' The site needs to be used for making the collection better. You should use a page's [[w:Wikipedia:Talk page|Wikipedia:Talk page]] to talk about making a page better. Make sure you know [[Wikiquote:What Wikiquote is not|what Wikiquote is not]]. * '''Be nice to other users.''' Wikiquote users come from many different places, and believe in a lot of different things. If we can be nice to each other, we can work together better and get more done. If you want to read more, see the [[w:Wikiquette|being nice page]]. * '''Follow rules.''' If we follow these rules we are able to make a better collection of quotes: ** [[Wikiquote:Editing rules|Editing rules]] (How to change a page) ** [[Wikiquote:Naming a page|Naming a page]] (How to give a good name to a page) ** [[Wikiquote:Pages with the same name|Pages with the same name]] (How to deal with pages with names that are like each other) ** [[Wikiquote:Picture rules|Picture rules]] (How to put a picture on Wikiquote) ** [[Wikiquote:Deleting a page|Deleting a page]] (When and how to get rid of a page) An ''administrator'' is a user on Wikiquote who has been here a long time and made a lot of good changes. Administrators get special powers if they pass a vote. If you want to read about things that ''administrators'' can do, see the [[Wikiquote:Administrators|administrators page]]. A lot of rules we use here at Wikiquote came from rules on Wikipedia. If a rule about something Wikiquote isn't here yet, you can read about it on the [[w:Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia rule page]]. See the [[Wikiquote:Common mistakes|common mistake page]] for some useful information for new users about how not to make some mistakes. ==How do we make sure people follow the rules?== ''You'' are a [[Wikiquote]] user. Wikiquote does not have a single person in charge of everything. Instead, users watch the [[special:Recentchanges|recent changes page]] and fix things when they see problems there. So users are both writers ''and'' editors. Sometimes there are big cases where a user acts very bad and we at Wikiquote don't know what to do. Then, we ask [[w:user:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]], who started Wikipedia, to help us make a choice. Jimbo has also said that some rules are ones that everybody has to follow; see [http://www.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2002-November/000083.html this email] and [[w:User:Jimbo Wales/Statement of principles|Jimbo's most important rules page]]. ==How we make rules== We at Wikiquote make rules by seeing how most people make changes. The things on this page and related pages are supposed to describe community rules that have already made by the majority. Problems should be worked out on [[en:Wikiquote:Talk page|talk pages]]. ==Specific rules== These rules are ideas that some users have started: ===General rules=== * [[Wikiquote:Don't be afraid to change pages|Don't be afraid to change pages]] * [[Wikiquote:Tell us when you take out something|Tell us when you take out something]] * [[Wikiquote:Build the web|Build the web]] <big><big>Simplify

Obviously, there are quotes which are already in simple English. But aside from that, the point of this wikiproject (as I see it) is not to simplify quotes. If we did that, they would no longer be quotes: they would be paraphrases. The point of this wikiproject is to take quotes as they are, and provide explanations of their meaning using simple English. Additionally, all of the infrastructure is meant to be in simple English so that people who do not know English very well may use it and edit it. That is what Simple English Wikiquote is for, I think. --[[User:Cromwellt|Cromwellt]]|[[User talk:Cromwellt|talk]] 19:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC) ::So the Shakespeare quotes on the Italian and Spanish Wikiquotes are not quotes, for example? The Aristotle quotes on the English Wikiquote are not quotes, for example? I think they are quotes. They are translated quotes. They are still good. People are contributing to and supporting many Wikiquote projects that have translated quotes. So, quotes can be translated into Simple English, too. I think all Wikiquotes that use translations should also give the original words, too, or at least a direct link to them (not just an interwiki to a list of quotes that might or might not contain the quote of interest somewhere on the page and the reader has to find it). --[[User:Coppertwig|Coppertwig]] 03:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC) ::By the way, the German page for [[:de:Emily Brontë]], for example, gives the original English words as well as a German translation. I think that's the proper way to do it. --[[User:Coppertwig|Coppertwig]] 04:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC) ==Explanation of purpose of Simple English Wikiquote on Main Page== Someone deleted a sentence and I put it back. The person didn't say the reason for deleting it. Maybe it was deleted by mistake while the person was making another change. The sentence describes what this Wikiquote is about.

This project could really work well, and it would only take a couple of months once all the content is on. It would also be fantastic for Wiktionary (publishing all the BE850 and BE1500 seperately, maybe VOA), and perhaps PDF versions of completed Wikibooks? I'd be happy to do a lot of the work, like exporting to PDF, managing the download site. What do you think? [[User:Archer7|Archer7]] 07:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC) :I don't have a problem with the idea. You sound really enthusiastic about it, which is great. I don't know exactly how it would work or how much I'd be able to help with it, but I certainly won't stop you! Of course, the main thing we need on all these sites right now is content.

See [[Wikipedia]] for an example page layout. * Are we allowed to bite, kick or otherwise attack developers trying to close this project? One of the most fundamental rules: Wikipedia is not a democracy... ignore the project closure voting! [[User:Archer7|Archer7]] 17:49, 28 May 2006 (UTC) == Request == Hi, I am user [[meta:user:Walter]]. I respectfully request this community to consider my following request; I write a newsletter about what is going on in the Wikimedia projects in all languages. It is my hope that every community, like this one, has some people who read [http://www.wikizine.org Wikizine]. Then I can maybe receive some news from those readers about your project and in the other direction the can inform there community in your own language about the Wikimedia news possibly. I would like to ask this community to include on this page on the top and/or a relevant page a small banner for Wikizine. If a banner is placed here on the correct page the change that someone here will think about Wikizine and report some local news will increase highly I suspect. Or that people will take a look and read the Wikimedia news. And maybe even share it locally. Here are the banners; [[meta:Wikizine/banners]] If there are questions please ask it here. I will be watching this page for at least two weeks from now on frequently. Greetings, --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 14:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC) ==How to find existing pages? Category structure?== All pages should be linked somehow from the Main Page so we know they exist. Wikipedias use Categories to do that. How will we do it here? --[[User:Copertwig|Copertwig]] 04:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC) * I think we should use categories also.--[[User:Sir James Paul|Sir James Paul]] 23:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC) == MY EDITS == I am not very good at comming up with a simple meaning of quotes.

I tagged the articles because they were direct copies from http://www.brainyquote.com/. Their terms and conditions say that content cannot be copied for public or commercial use without permission. Are the articles copyright violations? [[User:J Di|J Di]] 15:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC) *Can you please take of the deletion template until you figure out if it is copyright violation. I doubt it is because brainyquotes allows you to put quotes on your blog. --[[User:Sir James Paul|Sir James Paul]] 16:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC) ** Yes, they're copyvios. [[User:Archer7|Archer7]] 16:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC) :::Right, I'll start tagging the other articles if they haven't already been deleted. [[User:J Di|J Di]] 16:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC) ::::Hmm, some of these aren't. Blatant copies where it's formatting and other things copied as well as the quotes are copyvios. Things where people have copied just the quotes can't be copyvios. [[User:Archer7|Archer7]] 13:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC) :::::Which ones aren't? [[User:J Di|J Di]] 14:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC) ::::::My opinion: Taking one (short) quote from a website or other source, or selecting a very small number, would not be copyright violation. But copying a list of quotes from a source which provides a list of quotes would be a copyright violation. They've done the work of selecting and compiling the list of quotes and we would be simply copying that work. --[[User:Coppertwig|Coppertwig]] 16:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC) For some pages (e.g. [[Barbara Amiel]]), I have deleted most of the quotes because they are a copyright violation (copying a whole list of quotes from a website). However, I have left a small number (approximately two or three) of selected quotes as "fair use/fair dealing", and sometimes also translated them into Simple English. The copyright violation remains in the page history. I assume this is OK: On [[:wikipedia:en:Wikipedia:copyright problems]] it says " Revert the page to a non-copyrighted version if you can ... The infringing text will remain in the page history for archival reasons unless the copyright holder asks the Wikimedia Foundation to remove it." I may continue to do this with other pages unless somebody tells me to do something different. An alternative would be to rename the page to "Barbara Amiel (please delete)" and put it on a list of pages to be deleted and create a new page Barbara Amiel with the small selection of quotes. Or, maybe that wouldn't work: I forget whether the page history moves when you move a page. Someone with admin privileges would be able to completely delete the page and create a new page. Anyway, maybe it's good enough to edit the page to remove the copyright violations. --[[User:Coppertwig|Coppertwig]] 13:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC) Wikiquote:Administrators 1645 5157 2007-01-08T03:15:55Z Coppertwig 52 /* List of administrators */ adding Coppertwig to list of administrators An '''administrator''' is also called a ''sysop''.

If it isn't, you might also check to see if the article exists (by entering the title in the Search box and pressing Go), as some editors may have forgotten to add their new TV show articles to this list. When creating a page for a show, please include the range of years the show was telecast and list key creators of the show, as well as the quotations from it. After the quotations, please provide a list of major members of the cast. Links to the [[w:Internet Movie Database|IMDb]] and other sites with reviews or trailers can all be helpful additions. See this article's [[Talk:Television shows|discussion page]] and [[Wikiquote talk:Templates#Films & TV Shows|Templates#Films & TV Shows]] for discussions and examples of formats for television show articles. After a show article has been created, the link on this page will be blue. Please move these titles into the main (existing article) section after creating the show article.

To understand this, you have to go back to what the young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro back during slavery. There were two kinds of slaves, the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes - they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good because they ate his food - what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved the master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master's house - quicker than the master would. If the master said, "We got a good house here," the house Negro would say, "Yeah, we got a good house here." Whenever the master said "we," he said "we." That's how you can tell a house Negro. * If the master's house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" We sick! He identified himself with his master, more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, "Let's run away, let's escape, let's separate," the house Negro would look at you and say, "Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?" That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a "house nigger." And that's what we call them today, because we've still got some house niggers running around here. * This modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to live near him. He'll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to live near his master, and then brag about "I'm the only Negro out here." "I'm the only one on my job." "I'm the only one in this school." You're nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says, "Let's separate," you say the same thing that the house Negro said on the plantation. "What you mean, separate? From America, this good white man? Where you going to get a better job than you get here?" I mean, this is what you say. "I ain't left nothing in Africa," that's what you say. Why, you left your mind in Africa. * On that same plantation, there was the field Negro. The field Negroes - those were the masses. There were always more Negroes in the field than there were Negroes in the house. The Negro in the field caught hell. He ate leftovers. In the house they ate high up on the hog. The Negro in the field didn't get anything but what was left of the insides of the hog. * The field Negro was beaten from morning to night; he lived in a shack, in a hut; he wore old, castoff clothes. He hated his master. I say he hated his master. He was intelligent. That house Negro loved his master, but that field Negro - remember, they were in the majority, and they hated the master. When the house caught on fire, he didn't try to put it out; that field Negro prayed for a wind, for a breeze. When the master got sick, the field Negro prayed that he'd die. If someone came to the field Negro and said, "Let's separate, let's run," he didn't say, "Where we going?" He'd say, "Any place is better than here." ", speech (9th November, 1963) == Attributed == * A chicken can't produce a duck egg. It has not the means nor the system within to produce a duck egg. In the same way the Capitalist system cannot produce freedom for a black man. It has not the means within to produce freedom, it has not the educational means, the political means, the legislative means. And if a chicken was to produce a duck egg, it would be considered a revolutionary chicken. * I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash but I don't think it will be based on the color of the skin. * I don't call it violence when it's self-defense, I call it intelligence. * I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action. * I've had enough of someone else's propaganda. I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole. * If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it's wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it's wrong for America to draft us and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country. * The economic philosophy of black nationalism only means that our people need to be re-educated into the importance of controlling the economy of the community in which we live, which means that we won’t have to constantly be involved in picketing and boycotting other people in other communities in order to get jobs. * '''The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.''' * The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community; no more. * We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary . * When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire... or preserve his freedom. * You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it. * If you don't stand up for something, you'll fall for anything. *'''Any time you see someone more successful than you are, they are doing something you aren't.''' * This religion recognizes all men as brothers. It accepts all human beings as equals before God, and as equal members in the Human Family of Mankind. I totally reject Elijah Muhammad's racist philosophy, which he has labeled 'Islam' only to fool and misuse gullible people as he fooled and misused me. But I blame only myself, and no one else for the fool that I was, and the harm that my evangelical foolishness on his behalf has done to others. == The Autobiography of Malcolm X == * The next day I was in my car driving along the freeway when at a red light another car pulled alongside. A white woman was driving and on the passenger's side, next to me, was a white man. "''Malcolm X''!" he called out-and when I looked, he stuck his hand out of his car, across at me, grinning. "Do you mind shaking hands with a white man?" Imagine that! Just as the traffic light turned green, I told him, "I don't mind shaking hands with human beings.

There is not really much point creating content, in my opinion at least. # We don't need any more sysops. I am sysop here to sort out any immediate issues, but there aren't any because this project is dead. # You haven't mastered wiki markup yet, so you simply won't be able to handle admin tools, and also admin tools give you access to more of the guts of the MediaWiki software. You need to really know far too much about wikis. # Use of sockpuppets in this RfA to attempt to change my vote, and support yourself. # I think that you are too obsessed with adminship. On any Wikimedia project, we only promote those that know what the title means, and I don't think you do. Admins do not police wikis, or punish people, they are simply given the ability to help clean things up a bit quicker. You seem to view this as a stepping stone to adminship on Simple Wikipedia, which just isn't true; we don't care how much adminship experience you've had on other projects. I realise that you're after some way of showing how important you are to a project, but this isn't how it works. I've got about every permission going on Simple Wikipedia, but my opinions aren't respected or trusted any more than anyone else's. Administrator, bureaucrat, steward, they all mean nothing, we'll all fight and argue with each other quite happily regardless of how many flags we have. If you really want to help a project, you mainly do that by writing or improving content, that is what makes a big difference. I'm not comfortable with you being promoted to admin while you still think that it is a position of power. You can make a real difference to the Wikimedia projects not by being an admin on as much as possible, but by being a boring old normal user; they are the ones that build up the content, and that content can go out and do quite amazing things.

Furthermore, the equation E = mc², in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa.'''

Also, the equation E = mc², where energy is equal to mass times the speed of light times the speed of light, shows that very small amounts of mass can be turned into large amounts of energy, and large amounts of energy can be turned into very small amounts of mass. The equation said that mass and energy really had equal value. Cockcroft and Walton did an experiment to show that this is true. *** ''Atomic Physics'' (1948) by the J. Arthur Rank Organisation, Ltd.

Whether it is braver to live through all the bad luck of life, or to use weapons against all the troubles, and end them. Dying is like sleeping, it's nothing more than that. And if, by sleeping, we can stop the heartache and the thousand pains that living bodies have to experience, that is something to wish for very hard. * '''Juliet''': What's in a name?

I came here to put the dead Caesar into the earth, not to say good things about him. The bad things that men do live after the men die. The good things they do is frequently put into the earth with their bones. I hope it will happen in that way for Caesar. The good Brutus told you Caesar was ambitious (wanting to be leader, wanting to be better than other people). If he was ambitious, it was a very bad thing for him to be. And Caesar has been punished very much for it. Brutus and all the others have let me be here and speak at Caesar's funeral because Brutus is a good man and all the others are good men. Caesar was my friend. He was a good friend to me and he always did things that were right when he did things to me.

The setting sun will always set me to rights, or if a sparrow come before my Window I take part in its existence and pick about the gravel. ** ''Letter to Benjamin Bailey'' (November 22, 1817) * At once it struck me what quality went to form a man of achievement, especially in literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously—I mean ''negative capability'', that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. ** ''Letter to George and Thomas Keats'' (December 22, 1817) * They will explain themselves - as all poems should do without any comment. ** ''Letter to George Keats'' (1818) * We hate poetry that has a palpable design upon us—and if we do not agree, seems to put its hand in its breeches pocket. Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle or amaze with itself, but with its subject. ** ''Letter to John Hamilton Reynolds'' (February 3, 1818) * In Poetry I have a few axioms, and you will see how far I am from their center. I think Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity--it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance— Its touches of Beauty should never be halfway thereby making the reader breathless instead of content: the rise, the progress, the setting of imagery should like the Sun come natural to him—shine over him and set soberly although in magnificence leaving him in the luxury of twilight—but it is easier to think what Poetry should be than to write it—and this leads me on to another axiom. That if Poetry comes not as naturally as the leaves to a tree it had better not come at all. ** ''Letter to John Taylor'' (February 27, 1818) * Scenery is fine—but human nature is finer. ** ''Letter to Benjamin Bailey (March 13, 1818) * Axioms in philosophy are not axioms until they are proved upon our pulses: we read fine things but never feel them to the full until we have gone the same steps as the author. ** ''Letter to John Hamilton Reynolds'' (May 3, 1818) * I compare human life to a large mansion of many apartments, two of which I can only describe, the doors of the rest being as yet shut upon me. ** ''Letter to John Hamilton Reynolds'' (May 3, 1818) * There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality. ** ''Letter to John Hamilton Reynolds'' (September 22, 1818) * I begin to get a little acquainted with my own strength and weakness. Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works. ** ''Letter to James Hessey'' (October 9, 1818) * The genius of poetry must work out its own salvation in a man; it cannot be matured by law and precept, but by sensation and watchfulness in itself. That which is creative must create itself—In ''Endymion'', I leaped headlong into the sea, and thereby have become better acquainted with the soundings, the quicksands, and the rocks, than if I had stayed upon the green shore, and piped a silly pipe, and took tea and comfortable sdvice. ** ''Letter to James Hessey'' (October 9, 1818) * I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest. ** ''Letter to James Hessey'' (October 9, 1818) * I think I shall be among the English Poets after my death. ** ''Letter to George and Georgiana Keats'' (October 14, 1818) * The poetical character...is not itself—it has no self—it is everything and nothing...It has as much delight in conceiving an Iago as an Imogen. ** ''Letter to Richard Woodhouse'' (October 27, 1818) * A poet is the most unpoetical of anything in existence; because he has no identity—he is continually informing—and filling some other body. ** ''Letter to Richard Woodhouse'' (October 27, 1818) * A man's life of any worth is a continual allegory—and very few eyes can see the mystery of life—a life like the Scriptures, figurative...Lord Byron cuts a figure, but he is not figurative. Shakespeare led a life of allegory: his works are the comments on it. ** ''Letter to George and Georgiana Keats'' (February 14-May 3, 1819) * Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced—Even a proverb is no proverb to you till your Life has illustrated it. ** ''Letter to George and Georgiana Keats'' (February 14-May 3, 1819) * I myself am pursuing the same instinctive course as the veriest human animal you can think of—I am, however young, writing at random—straining at particles of light in the midst of a great darkness—without knowing the bearing of any one assertion, of any one opinion. Yet may I not in this be free from sin? ** ''Letter to George and Georgiana Keats'' (March 19, 1819) * Call the world if you please "The vale of soul-making." ** ''Letter to George and Georgiana Keats'' (April 21, 1819) * I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute. ** ''To Fanny Brawne'' (July 25, 1819) * "If I should die," said I to myself, "I have left no immortal work behind me—nothing to make my friends proud of my memory—but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered." ** ''To Fanny Brawne'' (c. February 1820) * You are always new. The last of your kisses was ever the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest. ** ''Letter to Fanny Brawne'' (March 1820) * You might curb your magnanimity, and be more of an artist, and load every rift of your subject with ore. ** ''Letter to Shelley'' (August 1820) * I can scarcely bid you good-bye, even in a letter.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters. (Ch. 1) *:('''Simple:''' Everyone knows this is true: that a man who is not married and who has much money, must want to have a wife.

It is, perhaps, the most famous of his plays today. == Prologue == * '''Two households, both alike in dignity,<br>In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,<br>From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,<Br>Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.<br>From forth the fatal loins of these two foes<br>A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;<br>Whose misadventured piteous overthrows<br>Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.<br>The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,<br>And the continuance of their parents' rage,<BR>Which, but their children's end, naught could remove,<br>Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;<br>The which if you with patient ears attend,<br>What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.''' **'''Simple:''' This part of the play happens in the city of Verona. Two families, both equally proud, who have resented each other for a long time, begin fighting again. In this story, the blood of citizens makes citizens' hands dirty. These two families, who are enemies, gave birth to two lovers who had fate againt them (star-crossed). Their very difficult troubles make them, by their own deaths, bring an end to their parents' fighting. Now, for two hours on this stage, our business is: the terrible happening of their love which was marked with death; and their parent's anger, which kept going, and which could not be stopped except by the children's death. If you will listen carefully, we will work hard to make sure you hear every part of the story. == Act I == * '''Abraham''': Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?<br>'''Sampson''': I do bite my thumb, sir.<br>'''Abraham''': Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?<br>'''Sampson''' ''(to Gregory)'': Is the law of our side if I say ay?<br>'''Gregory''': No.<br>'''Sampson''': No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you sir; but I bite my thumb, sir.<br>'''Gregory''': Do you quarrel, sir?<br>'''Abraham''': Quarrel, sir!

I have over 1,000 edits there. In November 2006 I was most active on wikipedia simple but in December I have not been active there at all. The reason for me not being there a lot is because vandalism just has not been that bad witch is great but what I do is fight vandalism. I have some edits at wiktionary but all of them are reverts and a lot of them are not good because of not being careful enough. Here and there I will make a edit at wikiquote but you can't call me active there. I also sometimes drop by meta-wiki to look at recent changes and check messages. I am a sysop at the test wiki and at wikitainment. Recently I have gotton active at wikia. What I do there is try to get active in inactive wiki's and try to help build them up and get them active. The reason why I am so active in wiki's is because I feel that they are a great resource and it would be a sham for any of them to fall apart. == Wiki pilosophy == The most important thing is civility. It makes things easy if you are civil because it avoids conflict in most cases. I try to make sure that everyone feels welcomed. When fighting vandalism I look for IP's. I also look for articles on religious and political articles. When fighting vandalism it is also very important to use tools. I use a roolback button and wikiguard.

The term comes from membership of a city (as was the term citizen), but now normally refers to a nation. == Quotes == I do not think that the effect of good environment, of fine buildings, of pleasant homes, upon the character, temperament, will, disposition, and energy of the people sufficiently dawns upon the average citizen. ~ [[Thomas Adams]] This is not a contest between persons. The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty - the cause of humanity. ~ [[William Jennings Bryan]] But without a caring society, without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility, government is destined to grow even larger, taking more of your money, burrowing deeper into your lives. ~ [[Jeb Bush]] It is a remarkable comment on our affairs that the former prime minister of a great sovereign state should thus be received as an honorary citizen of another. ~ [[Winston Churchill]] Voting is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to ensure the integrity of our voting process. ~ [[Hillary Clinton]] Be assured, fellow citizens, that in a democracy it is the laws that guard the person of the citizen and the constitution of the state, whereas the despot and the oligarch find their protection in suspicion and in armed guards. ~ [[Aeschines]] Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine. ~ [[Bashar al-Assad]] I believe if a private citizen is able to affect public opinion in a constructive way he doesn't have to be an elected public servant to perform a public service. ~ [[Warren Beatty]] My favorite song is "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" because it's become my signature song. I sang it for six American presidents and five command performances... it's made me a world citizen. ~ [[Tony Bennett]] Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state. ~ [[Thomas Jefferson]] Every citizen will be able, in his productive years when he is earning, to insure himself against the ravages of illness in his old age. ~ [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] The function of a citizen and a soldier are inseparable. ~ [[Benito Mussolini]] The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight. ~ [[Theodore Roosevelt]] I believe with all my heart that America remains 'the great idea' that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here. ~ [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a Free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defense of it. ~ [[George Washington]] Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens. ~ [[Plato]] I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts. ~ [[Abraham Lincoln]] Mohandas Gandhi 1957 5168 2007-01-10T16:02:14Z 81.108.206.189 /* Quotes */ == Quotes == A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. Mohandas Gandhi *'''Simple:''' Saying 'no' when one really believes it is better than saying 'yes' to give pleasure to other people. Saying 'yes' to keep away from trouble is even worse. A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave. Mohandas Gandhi *'''Simple:''' A coward (someone who runs away because of fear) is not able to love. Only brave people are able to love. A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes. Mohandas Gandhi *'''Simple:''' A man's thoughts make the man the way he is. He changes to be what he thinks. A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act. Mohandas Gandhi A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people. Mohandas Gandhi A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal. Mohandas Gandhi A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice. Mohandas Gandhi A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion. Mohandas Gandhi A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. Mohandas Gandhi A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness. Mohandas Gandhi Action expresses priorities. Mohandas Gandhi Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame. Mohandas Gandhi Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation. Mohandas Gandhi All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth. Mohandas Gandhi Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. Mohandas Gandhi Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest. Mohandas Gandhi An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Mohandas Gandhi An eye for an eye makes us all blind. Mohandas Gandhi An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Mohandas Gandhi An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching. Mohandas Gandhi An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. Mohandas Gandhi Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. Mohandas Gandhi Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages. Mohandas Gandhi As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves. Mohandas Gandhi Be the change that you want to see in the world. Mohandas Gandhi Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts. Mohandas Gandhi Better far than cowardice is killing and being killed in battle. Mohandas Gandhi Breach of promise is a base surrender of truth. Mohandas Gandhi But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac. Mohandas Gandhi Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed. Mohandas Gandhi Commonsense is the realised sense of proportion. Mohandas Gandhi Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession. Mohandas Gandhi Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position. Mohandas Gandhi Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart. Mohandas Gandhi Don't listen to friends when the Friend inside you says 'Do this.' Mohandas Gandhi Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances. Mohandas Gandhi Each one prays to God according to his own light. Mohandas Gandhi Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth. Mohandas Gandhi Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent. Mohandas Gandhi Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone. Mohandas Gandhi Evil is, good or truth misplaced. Mohandas Gandhi Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into. Mohandas Gandhi Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies. Mohandas Gandhi Fear has its use but cowardice has none. Mohandas Gandhi Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith. Mohandas Gandhi First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Mohandas Gandhi For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion. Mohandas Gandhi Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living ? Mohandas Gandhi Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. Mohandas Gandhi Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion. Mohandas Gandhi Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it. Mohandas Gandhi God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained. Mohandas Gandhi God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless. Mohandas Gandhi God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us. Mohandas Gandhi Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Mohandas Gandhi Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress. Mohandas Gandhi Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress. Mohandas Gandhi Human society is a ceaseless growth, an unfoldment in terms of spirituality. Mohandas Gandhi I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence. Mohandas Gandhi I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill. Mohandas Gandhi I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers. Mohandas Gandhi I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world. Mohandas Gandhi I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed. Mohandas Gandhi I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another. Mohandas Gandhi I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps. Mohandas Gandhi I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following. Mohandas Gandhi I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul. Mohandas Gandhi I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice. Mohandas Gandhi I know, to banish anger altogether from one's breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God's grace. Mohandas Gandhi I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. Mohandas Gandhi I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others. Mohandas Gandhi I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. Mohandas Gandhi I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality. Mohandas Gandhi I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people. Mohandas Gandhi I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust. Mohandas Gandhi I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force. Mohandas Gandhi If co-operation is a duty, I hold that non-co-operation also under certain conditions is equally a duty. Mohandas Gandhi If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. Mohandas Gandhi If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm. Mohandas Gandhi If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children. Mohandas Gandhi Imitation is the sincerest flattery. Mohandas Gandhi In a gentle way, you can shake the world. Mohandas Gandhi In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place. Mohandas Gandhi In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. Mohandas Gandhi Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth. Mohandas Gandhi Indeed one's faith in one's plans and methods is truly tested when the horizon before one is the blackest. Mohandas Gandhi Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands. Mohandas Gandhi Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being. Mohandas Gandhi Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause. Mohandas Gandhi Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit. Mohandas Gandhi Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up. Mohandas Gandhi It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings. Mohandas Gandhi It is any day better to stand erect with a broken and bandaged head then to crawl on one's belly, in order to be able to save one's head. Mohandas Gandhi It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. Mohandas Gandhi It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. Mohandas Gandhi It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh. Mohandas Gandhi It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity. Mohandas Gandhi It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. Mohandas Gandhi Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be. Mohandas Gandhi Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment. Mohandas Gandhi Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared. Mohandas Gandhi Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom. Mohandas Gandhi Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Mohandas Gandhi Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself. Mohandas Gandhi Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men. Mohandas Gandhi Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her. Mohandas Gandhi Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment. Mohandas Gandhi Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Mohandas Gandhi Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep. Mohandas Gandhi Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been know to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature. Mohandas Gandhi Manliness consists in making circumstances subserve to ourselves. Mohandas Gandhi Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment. Mohandas Gandhi Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort. Mohandas Gandhi Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality. Mohandas Gandhi Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts. Mohandas Gandhi My life is my message. Mohandas Gandhi My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him. Mohandas Gandhi Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it. Mohandas Gandhi No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive. Mohandas Gandhi Nobody can hurt me without my permission. Mohandas Gandhi Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. Mohandas Gandhi Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another. Mohandas Gandhi Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being. Mohandas Gandhi Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be inseparable part of our very being. Mohandas Gandhi Non-violence is the article of faith. Mohandas Gandhi Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. Mohandas Gandhi Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man. Mohandas Gandhi Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain. Mohandas Gandhi One's own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one's Maker and no one else's. Mohandas Gandhi Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God. Mohandas Gandhi Peace is its own reward. Mohandas Gandhi Poverty is the worst form of violence. Mohandas Gandhi Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness. Mohandas Gandhi Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action. Mohandas Gandhi Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening. Mohandas Gandhi Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive. Mohandas Gandhi Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education. Mohandas Gandhi Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion. Mohandas Gandhi Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison. Mohandas Gandhi Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory. Mohandas Gandhi Self-respect knows no considerations. Mohandas Gandhi Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul. Mohandas Gandhi Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Mohandas Gandhi That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake. Mohandas Gandhi The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. Mohandas Gandhi The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem. Mohandas Gandhi The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different. Mohandas Gandhi The good man is the friend of all living things. Mohandas Gandhi The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Mohandas Gandhi The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience. Mohandas Gandhi The law an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Mohandas Gandhi The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless. Mohandas Gandhi The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body. Mohandas Gandhi The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted. Mohandas Gandhi The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within. Mohandas Gandhi The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent. Mohandas Gandhi The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity. Mohandas Gandhi The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread. There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts. There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed. There is more to life than increasing its speed. There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good. There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. Those who know how to think need no teachers. Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion means. Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all. To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest. To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer. Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear. Truth never damages a cause that is just. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained. Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience. Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself. Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point. We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study. We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts? We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it. We must become the change we want to see in the world. We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party. What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea. What is true of the individual will be to-morrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope. Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it. When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator. When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible. Where love is, there God is also. Where there is love there is life. You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. You must be the change you wish to see in the world. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Kennedy 1964 4537 2006-12-06T11:39:01Z Sir James Paul 54 John Fitzgerald Kennedy (29 May 1917 - 22 November 1963) 35th President of the United States. == Sourced == After visiting these places, you can easily understand how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambition for his country which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made. After visiting such Nazi strongholds as were found in Berchtesgaden and Kehlsteinhaus; Personal diary (1 August 1945); published in Prelude to Leadership (1995) A man does what he must — in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures — and that is the basis of all human morality. Profiles in Courage (1956) The New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises — it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. Acceptance Speech as the Democratic presidential nominee (15 July 1960) If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." Acceptance of the New York Liberal Party nomination (14 September 1960) TurnLeft:What is a Liberal? "Their platform, made up of left-over Democratic planks, has the courage of our old convictions. Their pledge is a pledge to the status quo--and today there can be no status quo." If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all — except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty. Saturday Review (29 October 1960) For of those to whom much is given, much is required. And when at some future date the high court of history sits in judgement on each of us, recording whether in our brief span of service we fulfilled our responsibilities to the state, our success or failure, in whatever office we hold, will be measured by the answers to four questions: First, were we truly men of courage… Second, were we truly men of judgement… Third, were we truly men of integrity… Finally were we truly men of dedication? Speech to Massacchussetts State Legislature (9 January 1961) The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association (April 27, 1961) Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. Address to the Canadian Parliament, (May 17, 1961) I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. Speech to Special Joint Session of Congress (25 May 1961) Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind. A scientist has to prove every day that he belongs to the human part of mankind. Address to the United Nations General Assembly (25 September 1961) Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. Address to the UN General Assembly (25 September 1961) I wonder how it is with you, Harold? If I don't have a woman for three days, I get terrible headaches. Conversation with Harold Macmillan, in Bermuda (1961) as recounted by Richard Reeves in his book President Kennedy: Profile of Power (1994) The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Commencement address, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut (11 June 1962) Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. Address to Latin American diplomats at the White House (12 March 1962) I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. Address at a White House dinner honoring Nobel Prize winners (April 1962) But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. Speech at Rice University, Houston, Texas (12 September 1962) We will not prematurely or unnecessarily risk the costs of a worldwide nuclear war in which even the fruits of victory would be ashes in our mouth — but neither shall we shrink from that risk any time it must be faced. Radio address about the Cuban missile crisis (22 October 1962) The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are; but it is one of the most consistent with our character and our courage as a nation and our commitments around the world. The cost of freedom is always high — but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and this is the path of surrender or submission. Our goal is not victory of might but the vindication of right — not peace at the expense of freedom, but both peace and freedom, here in this hemisphere and, we hope, around the world. God willing, that goal will be achieved. Thank you, and good night. Cuban Missile Crisis speech (22 October 1962) I have, therefore, chosen this time and this place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived — yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace. What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children — not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women — not merely peace in our time but peace for all time. Address at The American University, Washington D.C. (10 June 1963) If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity. Address at The American University, Washington D. C. (10 June 1963) I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war — and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task. Address at The American University, Washington D. C. (10 June 1963) To secure these ends, America's weapons are nonprovocative, carefully controlled, designed to deter and capable of selective use. Our military forces are committed to peace and disciplined in self-restraint. Our diplomats are instructed to avoid unnecessary irritants and purely rhetorical hostility. Address at The American University, Washington D. C. (10 June 1963) And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights — the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation — the right to breathe air as nature provided it — the right of future generations to a healthy existence? Address at The American University, Washington D. C. (10 June 1963) The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough — more than enough — of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it. But we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success. Address at The American University, Washington D. C. (10 June 1963) Dante once said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. At the signing of a charter establishing the German Peace Corps, Bonn, West Germany (24 June 1963), more information on the reference to Dante is here at Bartleby.com Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades. All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner." Speech in Berlin (26 June 1963); see also the Ich bin ein Berliner Speech at Wikisource. The supreme reality of our time is our indivisibility as children of God and the common vulnerability of this planet. Speech to a joint session of the Dail and the Seanad, Dublin, Ireland (28 June 1963) I must say that though other days may not be so bright, as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those we spent with you here in Ireland. Speech at Eyre Square, Galway, Ireland (29 June 1963) This is not the land of my birth, but it is the land for which I hold the greatest affection, and I certainly will come back in the springtime Speech at Limerick, Ireland (29 June 1963) When power leads men towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truth which must serve as the touchstone of our judgment. The artist, however faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an officious state. The great artist is thus a solitary figure. He has, as Frost said, a lover's quarrel with the world. In pursuing his perceptions of reality, he must often sail against the currents of his time. This is not a popular role. If Robert Frost was much honored in his lifetime, it was because a good many preferred to ignore his darker truths. Speech at Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts (26 October 1963) The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis'. One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger-but recognize the opportunity. Speech in Indianapolis, April 12, 1959 [edit]Inaugural Address (20 January 1961) Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required — not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. So let us begin anew — remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. If a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved. All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin. In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it — and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. == Attributed == A wall [is] a hell of a lot better than war (upon hearing about the construction of the Berlin Wall) I was never accepted into certain parts of New England society because my grandfather was an Irish barkeep. Our labor unions are not narrow, self-seeking groups. They have raised wages, shortened hours and provides supplemental benefits. Through collective bargaining and grievance procedures, they have brought justice and democracy to the shop floor. But their work goes beyond their own job, and even beyond our borders. For the labor movement is people. Our unions have brought millions of men and women together ... and given them common tools for common goals. I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President, who happens also to be a Catholic. Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. I think 'Hail to the Chief' has a nice ring to it. Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all. Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. Freedom is not merely a word or an abstract theory, but the most effective instrument for advancing the welfare of man.

The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too.

John Adams (October 30, 1735 – July 4, 1826) was a politician and Founding Father of the United States of America who served both as that nation's first Vice President (1789–1797), and as its second President (1797–1801). He was defeated for re-election in the "Revolution of 1800" by Thomas Jefferson. Adams was a sponsor of the American Revolution in Massachusetts, and a diplomat in the 1770s. He was a driving force for independence in 1776; in fact, the "Colossus of Independence," in Jefferson's understanding. As a statesman and author Adams helped define a set of core republican ideals that became the core of America's political value system: the rejection of hereditary monarchy in favor of rule by the people, hatred of corruption, and devotion to civic duty. As President he was frustrated by battles inside his own Federalist party against a faction led by Alexander Hamilton, but he broke with them to avert a major conflict with France in 1798, during the Quasi-War crisis. He became the founder of an important family of politicians, diplomats and historians, and in recent years his reputation has been good. Historian Robert Rutland concluded, "Madison was the great intellectual ... Jefferson the ... unquenchable idealist, and Franklin the most charming and versatile genius... but Adams is the most captivating founding father on most counts." == Quotes == But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored.

They are the worst conceivable, they are no keepers at all; they can neither judge, act, think, or will, as a political body. John Adams We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other. John Adams Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

He is most famous as a diplomat involved in many international negotiations, and for formulating the Monroe Doctrine. As president he proposed a grand program of modernization and educational advancement, but was unable to get it through Congress. Late in life, as a Congressman, he was a leading opponent of the Slave Power, arguing that if a civil war ever broke out the president could abolish slavery by using his war powers, a policy followed by Abraham Lincoln in the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. == Quotes == All men profess honesty as long as they can.

It has to be diffused in a social atmosphere, information must be held in solution, in a medium of fellowship and good will.... It is needless to say that a Settlement is a protest against a restricted view of education.

Joseph Addison Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes his greatness to his country's ruin!

He was a member of the Frankfurt School along with Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse, Jürgen Habermas, and others. He was also the Music Director of the Radio Project. Already as a young music critic and amateur sociologist, Theodor W. Adorno was primarily a philosophical thinker. The label social philosopher emphasizes the socially critical aspect of his philosophical thinking, which from 1945 onwards took an intellectually prominent position in the critical theory of the Frankfurt School. == Quotes == A German is someone who cannot tell a lie without believing it himself. Theodor Adorno A pencil and rubber are of more use to thought than a battalion of assistants. To happiness the same applies as to truth: one does not have it, but is in it. Theodor Adorno Advice to intellectuals: let no-one represent you. Theodor Adorno All satire is blind to the forces liberated by decay. Which is why total decay has absorbed the forces of satire. Theodor Adorno An emancipated society, on the other hand, would not be a unitary state, but the realization of universality in the reconciliation of differences. Theodor Adorno Anti-Semitism is the rumour about the Jews. Theodor Adorno Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth. Theodor Adorno Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane. Theodor Adorno Because thought has by now been perverted into the solving of assigned problems, even what is not assigned is processed like a problem. Theodor Adorno But he who dies in despair has lived his whole life in vain. Theodor Adorno Dialectic thought is an attempt to break through the coercion of logic by its own means. Theodor Adorno Domination delegates the physical violence on which it rests to the dominated. Theodor Adorno Estrangement shows itself precisely in the elimination of distance between people. Theodor Adorno Every work of art is an uncommitted crime. Theodor Adorno Everything that has ever been called folk art has always reflected domination. Theodor Adorno Exuberant health is always, as such, sickness also. Theodor Adorno Fascism is itself less 'ideological', in so far as it openly proclaims the principle of domination that is elsewhere concealed. Theodor Adorno For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live. Theodor Adorno Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices. Theodor Adorno Happiness is obsolete: uneconomic. Theodor Adorno He who has laughter on his side has no need of proof. Theodor Adorno He who has loved and who betrays love does harm not only to the image of the past, but to the past itself. Theodor Adorno He who integrates is lost. Theodor Adorno He who matures early lives in anticipation. Theodor Adorno He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest. Theodor Adorno History does not merely touch on language, but takes place in it. Theodor Adorno Horror is beyond the reach of psychology. Theodor Adorno If across the Atlantic the ideology was pride, here it is delivering the goods. Theodor Adorno If time is money, it seems moral to save time, above all one's own, and such parsimony is excused by consideration for others. One is straight-forward. Theodor Adorno In his state of complete powerlessness the individual perceives the time he has left to live as a brief reprieve. Theodor Adorno In many people it is already an impertinence to say 'I'. Theodor Adorno In psycho-analysis nothing is true except the exaggerations. Theodor Adorno In the abstract conception of universal wrong, all concrete responsibility vanishes. Theodor Adorno In the age of the individual's liquidation, the question of individuality must be raised anew. Theodor Adorno In the end, glorification of splendid underdogs is nothing other than glorification of the splendid system that makes them so. Theodor Adorno Insane sects grow with the same rhythm as big organizations. It is the rhythm of total destruction. Theodor Adorno Intelligence is a moral category. Theodor Adorno Lies are told only to convey to someone that one has no need either of him or his good opinion. Theodor Adorno Life has become the ideology of its own absence. Theodor Adorno Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar. Theodor Adorno Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength. Theodor Adorno Modernity is a qualitative, not a chronological, category. Theodor Adorno No emancipation without that of society. Theodor Adorno No harm comes to man from outside alone: dumbness is the objective spirit. Theodor Adorno None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace. Theodor Adorno Normality is death. Theodor Adorno Not only is the self entwined in society; it owes society its existence in the most literal sense. Theodor Adorno Once the last trace of emotion has been eradicated, nothing remains of thought but absolute tautology. Theodor Adorno Only a humanity to whom death has become as indifferent as its members, that has itself died, can inflict it administratively on innumerable people. Theodor Adorno Proletarian language is dictated by hunger. The poor chew words to fill their bellies. Theodor Adorno Quality is decided by the depth at which the work incorporates the alternatives within itself, and so masters them. Theodor Adorno Tact is the discrimination of differences. It consists in conscious deviations. Theodor Adorno Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men. Theodor Adorno The almost insoluble task is to let neither the power of others, nor our own powerlessness, stupefy us. Theodor Adorno The culture industry not so much adapts to the reactions of its customers as it counterfeits them. Theodor Adorno The first and only principle of sexual ethics: the accuser is always in the wrong. Theodor Adorno The gods look in pleasure on penitent sinners. Theodor Adorno The good man is he who rules himself as he does his own property: his autonomous being is modelled on material power. Theodor Adorno The hardest hit, as everywhere, are those who have no choice. Theodor Adorno The human is indissolubly linked with imitation: a human being only becomes human at all by imitating other human beings. Theodor Adorno The individual mirrors in his individuation the preordained social laws of exploitation, however mediated. Theodor Adorno The joke of our time is the suicide of intention. Theodor Adorno The man for whom time stretches out painfully is one waiting in vain, disappointed at not finding tomorrow already continuing yesterday. Theodor Adorno The most powerful person is he who is able to do least himself and burden others most with the things for which he lends his name and pockets the credit. Theodor Adorno The poor are prevented from thinking by the discipline of others, the rich by their own. Theodor Adorno The recent past always presents itself as if destroyed by catastrophes. Theodor Adorno The specific is not exclusive: it lacks the aspiration to totality. Theodor Adorno The splinter in your eye is the best magnifying-glass. Theodor Adorno The task of art today is to bring chaos into order. Theodor Adorno The walk, the stroll, were private ways of passing time, the heritage of the feudal promenade in the nineteenth century. Theodor Adorno The whole is the false. Theodor Adorno There is no love that is not an echo. Theodor Adorno Thinking no longer means anymore than checking at each moment whether one can indeed think. Theodor Adorno To say 'we' and mean 'I' is one of the most recondite insults. Theodor Adorno Today self-consciousness no longer means anything but reflection on the ego as embarrassment, as realization of impotence: knowing that one is nothing. Theodor Adorno True thoughts are those alone which do not understand themselves. Theodor Adorno Truth is inseperable from the illusory belief that from the figures of the unreal one day, in spite of all, real deliverance will come. Theodor Adorno When all actions are mathematically calculated, they also take on a stupid quality. Theodor Adorno Work while you work, play while you play - this is a basic rule of repressive self-discipline. Theodor Adorno Wrong life cannot be lived rightly.

Alfred Adler Exaggerated sensitiveness is an expression of the feeling of inferiority. Alfred Adler It is always easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. Alfred Adler It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. Alfred Adler It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country. Alfred Adler Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy. Alfred Adler The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions. Alfred Adler The only normal people are the one's you don't know very well. Alfred Adler The test of one's behavior pattern; relationship to society, relationship to one's work, relationship to sex. Alfred Adler The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, with the truth. Alfred Adler There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish. Alfred Adler There is a Law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish. Alfred Adler There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure. Alfred Adler To all those who walk the path of human cooperation war must appear loathsome and inhuman. Alfred Adler To be a human being means to possess a feeling of inferiority which constantly presses towards its own conquest. The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge for conquest and the more violent the emotional agitation. Alfred Adler To be human means to feel inferior. Alfred Adler War is not the continuation of politics with different means, it is the greatest mass-crime perpetrated on the community of man. Alfred Adler War is organized murder and torture against our brothers.

He is the earliest of the three Greek tragedians whose plays are not entirely lost, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. == Quotes == *And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. *:Aeschylus ([http://www.brainyquote.com]) *:'''Simple:''' And even while we are sleeping, pain that cannot forget falls, drop by drop, upon our heart, and in our own complete sadness, even when we do not want to, [[:wikt:God|God]]'s way of being kind, that is great and that we fear, lets us start to be wiser. *Call no man happy till he is dead. **Aeschylus ([http://www.brainyquote.com]) *It is an easy thing for one whose foot is on the outside of calamity to give advice and to rebuke the sufferer. **Aeschylus ([http://www.brainyquote.com]) *It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath. **Aeschylus ([http://www.brainyquote.com]) *Time brings all things to pass. **Aeschylus ([http://www.brainyquote.com]) [[en:Aeschylus]] Aesop 1985 4597 2006-12-06T21:11:37Z Sir James Paul 54 /* Quotes */ Aesop (also spelled Æsop, from the Greek Αἴσωπος — Aisōpos), known only for the genre of fables ascribed to him, was by tradition a slave (δούλος) who was a contemporary of Croesus and Peisistratus in the mid-sixth century BC in ancient Greece. The various collections that go under the rubric "Aesop's Fables" are still taught as moral lessons and used as subjects for various entertainments, especially children's plays and cartoons. According to tradition he was at one point freed from slavery and eventually died at the hands of Delphians, but nothing is known about Aesop from credible records. In fact, the obscurity shrouding his life has led some scholars to doubt his existence altogether, notably because there is no fixed body of his work. == Quotes == Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own. Aesop In critical moments even the very powerful have need of the weakest. Aesop Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten. Aesop It is easy to be brave from a safe distance. Aesop It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters. Aesop Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties. Aesop Persuasion is often more effectual than force. Aesop The smaller the mind the greater the conceit. Aesop United we stand, divided we fall. Aesop We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Aesop What a splendid head, yet no brain. Aesop Put your shoulder to the wheel. Aesop, Hercules and the Wagoner The gods help them that help themselves. Aesop, Hercules and the Wagoner Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything. Aesop, Juno and the Peacock It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow. Aesop, The Ant and the Grasshopper Union gives strength. Aesop, The Bundle of Sticks Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. Aesop, The Dog and the Shadow People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves. Aesop, The Dog in the Manger The shaft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle's own plumes. We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction. Aesop, The Eagle and the Arrow - More quotations on: [Enemies] I am sure the grapes are sour. Aesop, The Fox and the Grapes Familiarity breed contempt. Aesop, The Fox and the Lion Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction. Aesop, The Frog and the Ox Thinking to get at once all the gold the goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find - nothing.

It's such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don't want to be a sex symbol. Ben Affleck I kinda see my current position like this: 'Here's your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before Chuck Woolery rings the bell.' Ben Affleck I remember back when I was a kid there was a comic strip called Plastic Man. His body was elastic and he could make his extremeties as long as he wanted. As a youngster I didn't fully appreciate. But I'm now thinking Plastic Man was probably pretty popular with the ladies. Ben Affleck I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity. Ben Affleck I'm not known for having great relationships with ex-girlfriends, but I've been able to continue one with Gwyneth that's really valuable. Ben Affleck I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship. Ben Affleck If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd call. Ben Affleck Marriage hasn't been my thing. But gay people, knock yourselves out! Ben Affleck Matt and I have set a date. Matt and I will tie the knot New Years Day in the town of Swampscott, Massachusetts. Reserve your hotel rooms now. I will be having a gay marriage. Ben Affleck Matt's so metro. He wears perfume a lot of the time. He won't go out without three different moisturisers that he has to put on. Ben Affleck My mother gets all mad at me if I stay in a hotel. I'm 31-years-old, and I don't want to sleep on a sleeping bag down in the basement. It's humiliating. Ben Affleck Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating. Ben Affleck Sometimes it's Britney Spears and sometimes it's Carrie Fisher. I can't tell if I've got a Lolita complex or an Oedipus complex. Ben Affleck There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You're embarrassed by your parents, and you're trying to find your independance because, deep inside, you are so dependent on your mom. Ben Affleck There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches. Ben Affleck Well I've never used that phrase before, but yes she is bootylicious. Ben Affleck Yes, I'm going to be the President of the United States. You know why? You think you can get chicks by being in the movies? You can really get chicks by being the President.

Agnew All sport... is one of the few activities where young people can proceed along traditional avenues, where objectives are clear, where the desire to win is not only permissible, but encouraged. Spiro T. Agnew An intellectual is a man who doesn't know how to park a bike. Spiro T. Agnew Confronted with the choice, the American people would choose the policeman's truncheon over the anarchist's bomb. Spiro T. Agnew I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all. Spiro T.

Agnew In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism. Spiro T.

Ahbez composed the song "Nature Boy" about friend "Tribesman" Robert Gypsy Boots Bootzin, who was leading a lifestyle which strived to be all natural and Spartan. Eden lived a bucolic life. He refused to use capital letters to spell his name. He travelled in sandals, camped out below the first L in the Hollywood sign above Los Angeles, studied Oriental mysticism, and cultivated a Christ-like appearance with his shoulder-length hair and beard. He claimed to live on three dollars a week, sleeping outdoors with his family, eating vegetables, fruits, and nuts. In the mid-'50s, he did some recording with jazz musician Herb Jeffries; he also did some occasional composing and singing, sometimes for rock & roll novelty records. His most comprehensive statement as a recording artist, however, was the 1960 LP Eden's Island, a bizarre record which mixed exotica album and beatnik poetry. Many consider it as one of the weirdest exotica records ever created. Ahbez was also photographed with Brian Wilson in the studio in 1966, lending further credence to the theory that the head Beach Boy was influenced by exotica during the Pet Sounds and Smile sessions. He died in 1995 after being hit by a car. == Quotes == There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy… Nature Boy (1948) While we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return." Nature Boy (1948) " The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved, just to love and be loved." Eden Ahbez declaring how his lyrics should be corrected, saying that "To be loved in return, is too much of a deal, and that has nothing to do with love." "Some white people hate black people, and some white people love black people, some black people hate white people, and some black people love white people. So you see it's not an issue of black and white, it's an issue of Lovers and Haters." as told to Joe Romersa c. 1992 "I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies, of the suns and the stars and the void through which they travel. The essence of nature, eternal, divine that all men seek to know to hear, known as the great illusion time, and the all-prevailing atmosphere". And now you know my background. Ahbez on tape recording declaring how he recited one of his poems in response to a question "What is your background?" (1992) "Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures, and whether we realize it or not, they hold more authority." spoken on tape recording to Joe Romersa (1992) "What I mean by the Principle of Oneness is this: That we must learn to realize that there's nothing separate or apart. That everything is part of everything else. That there's nothing above us, or below us, or around us. All is inherent within us. Like Jesus said, "The Kingdom is Within." spoken on tape recording to Joe Romersa (1992) "We're not earthly beings any more… we're cosmic beings." Ahbez on tape recording by Joe Romersa. The earth is my altar, the sky is my dome, mind is my garden, the heart is my home and I'm always at home- yea, I'm always at Om.

Since 26 June 1997, he has served as the tenth Taoiseach of Ireland leading a Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats coalition. == Quotes == I think the Turkey situation is going to generate far more debate and far more controversy for many, many reasons. Its size. Bertie Ahern I think there are times that a debate and a referendum are good, there are other times it's just too complex. Bertie Ahern I think they'll do very well in the Union and they're already in a financially healthy position. Bertie Ahern I think what we have to do is to try to say listen we have to stop those things that are wrong, we have to look at those things that are positive. Bertie Ahern I'm a bit disappointed that so many people have closed up on their barriers, that's why we have been very anxious to keep our position. Bertie Ahern I've been deeply involved with those negotiations, not only during the Irish presidency but of last year as well, very much following what's happening. Bertie Ahern In fact the truth of it was - I was finance minister then - it was hard enough for us to explain it to each other. Bertie Ahern In my local hospital, which is one of the biggest hospitals in the country, we've now 29 nationalities. Bertie Ahern In our case employment has been strong and that has worked very well for us. Bertie Ahern It is inevitably slow on these issues, but it will happen. Bertie Ahern It was actually the financial mechanism, it was the Maastricht referendum. In Nice we would have stopped enlargement. Bertie Ahern It was the right to claim Irish citizenship regardless of your fidelity or contact or solidarity or connection with the country in any form. Bertie Ahern It will be a debate in Parliament, a debate in parliamentary committees and then it is up to the people who join in the campaign and who puts resources into the campaign. Bertie Ahern It will be the first major Muslim country. I think that could be a good thing. Bertie Ahern It's in the next round that Ireland will become a net contributor. Bertie Ahern Let's be clear it is very difficult, we must continue to work with the countries in the Middle East to try to find an acceptable way forward. Bertie Ahern Malta's - what they don't have in their natural resources I think they make up in tourism and they make up in other areas. Bertie Ahern Malta's always been associated with Europe, always close to Europe. Bertie Ahern Many people in Europe would complain - the element of their taxes and goes to subsidies - but we have to look after that. Bertie Ahern My foreign minister has been to Israel, he's been to the Middle East. I've had the Palestinian Prime Minister and foreign minister here. Bertie Ahern Now what we are endeavouring to do is we know what the outstanding issues are, we know that we could argue forever about the rights and the wrongs. Bertie Ahern Obviously the context of that in terms of the population would change dramatically if Turkey were members. Bertie Ahern Obviously, Europe in the first case and the Common Agricultural Policy, has to look after its own citizens but there's a large cost to that. Bertie Ahern On the other side of it, we do have a moral obligation and also for economic coherence in the world and under the GATT round - an obligation to try to help the developing world. Bertie Ahern People join because they want to join, nobody is coerced into joining. It is based around freedom and solidarity of human rights, good governance. Bertie Ahern So you cannot give a commitment that you would not go back, I think, one country can't hold up everything, you have to consider your position. Bertie Ahern That is standard negotiation but we have to find resolutions to it. Bertie Ahern That's why we have constitutional amendments when you have a treaty so that you take on board the treaty. Bertie Ahern The educational council have been working on this and doing this but it is an important area. Bertie Ahern The EU law cannot override what is in somebody's constitution and particularly I cannot have any say where they have not competences and of course they have not got competence everywhere. Bertie Ahern The timing of the bombings was clearly designed to wreak the greatest level of havoc and carnage. They are an attack on the democratic process and cannot be justified by any political cause. Bertie Ahern There are a lot of pluses but I think that a community and a country like Turkey that will come into the community, it brings different cultures. Bertie Ahern There is a Russian Summit later on this year, which I'll co-chair, where they're looking for equal access, they have not got that. Bertie Ahern There's no restrictions insofar as you're not going to democratically stop people from wanting to put in money, which I think is what he would like me to do, which I won't. Bertie Ahern They are making progress, they have to, everybody has to follow the same system, they have to comply with the same regulations and they have to comply with the various criteria. Bertie Ahern W e did change the referendum procedure where both sides were put under state money. Bertie Ahern We are very much basing the bait around multilateralism, where we all must work together and get the United Nations back centrally involved. Bertie Ahern We had a procedure that a referendum commission had to equally put the arguments for and against. Bertie Ahern We had an abuse of our constitution where people were coming to Ireland, having a baby, some of them leaving immediately and then claiming EU citizenship in other countries. Bertie Ahern We had negative growth most of the time and there were difficult times when we joined Europe, times of coping with the changes. Bertie Ahern We have coped well with this. You have to keep some control. Bertie Ahern We have institutions, we have a system, people have to pledge by rules and as in any democracy then you have to live by those rules. Bertie Ahern We have just completed, in the Irish presidency, a very radical reform of the Common Agricultural Policy and the whole mechanism of how farmers in Europe will be paid from next January. Bertie Ahern We now have in the United States I think they've 60,000 Chinese students in the United States at the moment, in Ireland we've 38,000. So we're a very small country. Bertie Ahern We're the presidency of the European Union, we would show the same respect to anybody, of any political persuasion. Bertie Ahern We've been using our presidency to try to develop and build and unite again from some of the hostilities and some of the difficult moments we had of last year. Bertie Ahern We've had - everything's treaty based, the competences of who does what, the role of the European Court of Justice. It is I think, to the ordinary person, difficult and I think. Bertie Ahern We've now, I think, in the last six years stopped the violence. We've a new generation growing up now who are not living in violence. Bertie Ahern Well the simple answer to that is that the EU only has competence where the EU has competence. If it's a law or a constitution provision that is just for the nation that doesn't change. Bertie Ahern Well we always have referendums in Ireland every time there's a constitution change, so it's something we're very familiar with. Bertie Ahern Well you know the historical question in Ireland and her position was that for 150 years, in the time of the great famine in Ireland, our emigration was the issue. Bertie Ahern What the intergovernmental conference has been doing, what's the convention was doing, which was - first of all I think the convention was enormous. Bertie Ahern What we're now stating if somebody is in here for three of the four years before a child is born then they can get citizenship. Bertie Ahern When we joined the European Union we were less than 60% of the GDP of the European Union. I think today we're something like 115% of it. We've had emigration for every year that we ever had. Bertie Ahern Yes they're having some difficulties trying to achieve as much as they can as quickly as they can. By the way some of the 10 that joined now have had similar difficulties. Bertie Ahern You can't have it both ways, you can maybe for a while but you can't be a democrat and having a paramilitary organisation and that's the difficulty. Bertie Ahern You have to work extremely hard in education programmes to explain and to try to get people to settle in and to assist them. Bertie Ahern You know we were at a stage where we had trouble every day, we had bombs every day, it was on the world news most days, unfortunately we recall that.

He served as a Cabinet Minister in the 1990s, and was a Senator from 2001 to 2006. == Quotes == Maiden speech in the Senate, 8 December 2003 (excerpts) "Today, as I stand here in this august House at 67 years of age, this last November 30th ... culminates for me a journey and quest that has taken me most of my adult life, two decades in fact, to fulfil a vision and a dream that I, my mother and my maternal grandfather had regarding our entry into the Vola ni Kawa Bula (VKB) [1] and to be recognised finally by the Great Council of Chiefs. "The journey here was fraught with all kinds of opposition and venom. Through three courts, right upto the Court of Appeal to defend before three eminent judges my constitutional rights to be registered in the VKB; I struggled and I won." "Now to be endorsed unanimously to the Senate by the Great Council of Chiefs has been a crowning finale for me ... This last act of endorsement and certification by the august body of Chiefs ratifies and stamps once and for all for me my Fijianness and dispels any questions of my right to be considered an indigene." [1] The Vola ni Kawa Bula (VKB), or Native Land Register, enrolls all who are considered to be indigenous Fijians for certain legal purposes. [edit]Speech in the Senate, 26 August 2004 (excerpts) "How can we win the other half of our nation to Christ, when we do not show them the practical love of Jesus Christ in our daily interaction with Him? How can we help, as leaders, to convert them to Christianity when we practise division and separateness?" "The growth of Christian denominational churches in Fiji is phenomenal for such a small country as Fiji. But that growth ... is confined mainly to converts from one Christian denomination to another and not from non-Christian believers. This is not a paradox, it is a reality. We convert from left to right, but across the border, no." "The Indian community in Fiji have been here over 120 to 130 years and would be the largest potential field of harvest to proselytize in, but we have not a show because of our examples and behaviours towards them. We need to show them the love of Christ first ... before they can respond to Him." "I believe ... that this Government practises a Pacific form of revised apartheid against the Indian community and should be ashamed of calling itself Christian." "I believe that this nation will be continuously cursed, until the leadership of this Government changes its accursed policy of Pacific Revised Apartheid and of not supporting Israel." [edit]Quoted by the Daily Star, 12 May 2005 "Coups, murders, rapes, violence, brutality, burglaries, incest, rebellion, homosexuality and other forms of social ills and criminality are a product of a generational curse happening mostly in the indigenous Fijian community."

She is best known for the novel Little Women, which she wrote in 1868. This novel was loosely based on her childhood experiences with her three sisters. == Quotes == A little kingdom I possess, where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find of governing it well. Louisa May Alcott Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty. Louisa May Alcott Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know. Louisa May Alcott Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. Louisa May Alcott Father asked us what was God's noblest work. Anna said men, but I said babies. Men are often bad; babies never are. Louisa May Alcott Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say No when they mean Yes, and drive a man out of his wits for the fun of it. Louisa May Alcott Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged. Louisa May Alcott Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success. Louisa May Alcott He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions. Louisa May Alcott Housekeeping ain't no joke. Louisa May Alcott I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship. Louisa May Alcott I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us. Louisa May Alcott It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women. Louisa May Alcott It takes two flints to make a fire. Louisa May Alcott Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won. Louisa May Alcott Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors! Louisa May Alcott Love is a great beautifier. Louisa May Alcott Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes. Louisa May Alcott Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us-and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning. Louisa May Alcott People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays; men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world. Louisa May Alcott She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners. Louisa May Alcott "Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary. Louisa May Alcott Talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more. Louisa May Alcott What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles? Louisa May Alcott Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling. Louisa May Alcott You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

I get a lot of letters from unexpected people in unexpected places. Brian Aldiss I am a writer and always was; being a writer is an integral part of my identity. Being published, being well regarded, is a component of that identity. Brian Aldiss I can't help believing that these things that come from the subconscious mind have a sort of truth to them. It may not be a scientific truth, but it's psychological truth. Brian Aldiss It is comparatively easy to become a writer; staying a writer, resisting formulaic work, generating one's own creativity - that's a much tougher matter.

Alexander the Great I would rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my powers and dominion.

His full name was Abū al-Mughīth al-Husayn ibn Mansūr al-Hallāj. == Quotes == "The great and rare mystics of the past (from Buddha to Christ, from al-Hallaj to Lady Tsogyal, from Hui-neng to Hildegard) were, in fact, ahead of their time, and are still ahead of ours. In other words, they are not figures of the past. They are figures of the future." Al-Hallaj "Notice [in Quantum Questions] I was not saying that modern physics itself supports or proves a mystical worldview. I was saying the physicists themselves were mystics, and not that their discipline was a mystical or somehow spiritual endeavor resulting in a religious worldview. In other words, I disagreed entirely with books such as The Tao of Physics and The Dancing Wu Li Masters, which claimed that modern physics supported or even proved Eastern mysticism. This is a colossal error. Physics is a limited, finite, relative, and partial endeavor, dealing with a very limited aspect of reality. It does not, for example, deal with biological, psychological, economic, literary, or historical truths; whereas mysticism deals with all of that, which the Whole. To say physics proves mysticism is like saying the tale proves the dog."

August 12, 1973) is the fourth son of the famous Iraqi Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr and son-in-law of Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir As-Sadr. As of early 2004, he was the de facto ruler of the Sadr City section of Baghdad and commanded the loyalty of the Mahdi Army, an insurgent force making a bid for power in Iraq. Clashes with U.S. forces in April were followed by a truce in June, and mixed signals from al-Sadr after his promises to disband his resistance movement and become involved in the political process. The Coalition Provisional Authority had on several occasions threatened to arrest al-Sadr, and in early April 2004 issued an arrest warrant, alleging his involvement in a homicide (see below). U.S. military commanders expressed an intention to "capture or kill" him. Then Al-Sadr had agreed to disband his army and join the political process, and he was given assurances that he would not face arrest and be allowed to stand in the 2005 elections. However, tensions rose again in August, and U.S. and Iraqi forces decided to move against al-Sadr with the intent to kill him. In October 2006, he made public appearances with the current president of Iraq raising controversy over his influence in the new government. == Quotes == Everything that happens is determined by God. Muqtada al Sadr For us, holding on to religious rules, and following them, and refraining from what's forbidden, and being diligent with our duties, what do we call that? That's what we call freedom. Muqtada al Sadr So, if I were arrested or if I were killed, then after me the issues that American fears about me wouldn't exist anymore - and I couldn't tell you what those issues are.

He came to wide prominence around the world during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, during which he was the Information Minister of the country. == Quotes == Are these the Americans? People remain silent and placate the Americans. By God, they only deserve scorn. We slaughtered them yesterday and we will continue to slaughter them. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Blair... is accusing us of executing British soldiers. We want to tell him that we have not executed anybody. They are either killed in battle, most of them get killed because they are cowards anyway, the rest they just get captured. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf God willing, I will provide you with more information. I swear by God, I swear by God, those who are staying in Washington and London have thrown these mercenaries in a crematorium. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf I blame Al-Jazeera - they are marketing for the Americans! Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf I would like to clarify a simple fact here: How can you lay siege to a whole country? Who is really under siege now? Baghdad cannot be besieged. Al-Nasiriyah cannot be besieged. Basra cannot be besieged. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Iraqi fighters in Umm Qasr are giving the hordes of American and Brtish mercenaries the taste of definite death. We have drawn them into a quagmire and they will never get out of it. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf It has been rumored that we have fired scud missiles into Kuwait. I am here now to tell you, we do not have any scud missiles and I don't know why they were fired into Kuwait. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Just look carefully, I only want you to look carefully. Do not repeat the lies of liars. Do not become like them. Once again, I blame al-Jazeera before it ascertains what takes place. Please, make sure of what you say and do not play such a role. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf No, I am not scared and neither should you be! Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Now even the American command is under siege. We are hitting it from the north, east, south and west. We chase them here and they chase us there. But at the end we are the people who are laying siege to them. And it is not them who are besieging us. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf One hundred infidels commited suicide as they entered the holy city of Bagdhad. Their tanks will become their tombs. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Our initial assessment is that they will all die. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Search for the truth. I tell you things and I always ask you to verify what I say. I told you yesterday that there was an attack and a retreat at Saddam's airport. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf The Americans are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf The Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days, we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf The fact is that as soon as they reach Baghdad gates, we will besiege them and slaughter them. Until now they have refused to do battle with us. They are just going places. One can describe them as a boa: when it feels threatened, it runs to somewhere else. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf The simple fact is this: they are foreigners inside a country which has rejected them. Therefore, these foreigners wherever they go or travel they will be rained down with bullets from everyone. Attacks by members of the resistance will only go up. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf The United Nations is a place for prostitution under the feet of Americans. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Their forces committed suicide by the hundreds. The battle is veryfierce and God made us victorious. The fighting continues. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Their infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad. Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never! Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf These flops are hitting places which are mainly civilian. Their strikes against Baghdad increase proportionally with their failures on the war front. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf These images are not the suburbs of Baghdad. From what I glimpsed, these gardens with rows of palm trees on the side, which you saw in the images, are located in the south of Abu Ghreib, where we have surrounded the Americans and British. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf They are sick in their minds. They say they brought 65 tanks into center of city. I say to you this talk is not true. This is part of their sick mind. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf They fled. The American louts fled. Indeed, concerning the fighting waged by the heroes of the Arab Socialist Baath Party yesterday, one amazing thing really is the cowardice of the American soldiers. we had not anticipated this. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf They're not even within 100 miles of Baghdad. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Today we slaughtered them in the airport. They are out of Saddam International Airport. The force that was in the airport, this force was destroyed. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Today, the tide has turned, we are destroying them. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf W. Bush, this man is a war criminal, and we will see that he is brought to trial. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We are in control, they are in a state of hysteria. Losers, they think that by killing civilians and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win. I think they will not win, those bastards. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We blocked them inside the city. Their rear is blocked. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We butchered the force present at the airport, we are destroying them. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We have crushed the whole force which dared to venture to the airport. Now they're outside the wall and the heroic Republican Guard is now in control of the whole area. So where are those villainous louts, those mercenaries? Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We made them drink poison last night and Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We will push those crooks, those mercenaries back into the swamp. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We will welcome them with bullets and shoes. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf We're giving them a real lesson today. Heavy doesn't accurately describe the level of casualties we have inflicted. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf What they say about a breakthrough in Najaf is completely an illusion. They are sending their warplanes to fly very low in order to have vibrations on these sacred places... they are trying to crack the buildings by flying low over them. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf When we were making the law, when we were writing the literature and the mathematics the grandfarthers of Blair and little Bush were scratching around in caves. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Yesterday, we slaughtered them and we will continue to slaughter them. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf You can go and visit those places. Nothing there, nothing at all. There are Iraqi checkpoints. Everything is okay. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf Hannes Alfven 2014 4670 2006-12-08T22:55:12Z Sir James Paul 54 New page: '''Hannes Olof Gösta Alfvén''' (May 30, 1908; Norrköping, Sweden – April 2, 1995; Djursholm, Sweden) was a Swedish plasma physicist who won the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics. == Quotes ... '''Hannes Olof Gösta Alfvén''' (May 30, 1908; Norrköping, Sweden – April 2, 1995; Djursholm, Sweden) was a Swedish plasma physicist who won the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics. == Quotes == I have always believed that astrophysics should be the extrapolation of laboratory physics, that we must begin from the present universe and work our way backward to progressively more remote and uncertain epochs. Hannes Alfven I have never thought that you could obtain the extremely clumpy, heterogeneous universe we have today, strongly affected by plasma processes, from the smooth, homogeneous one of the Big Bang, dominated by gravitation. Hannes Alfven I have no trouble publishing in Soviet astrophysical journals, but my work is unacceptable to the American astrophysical journals. Hannes Alfven Most people today still believe, perhaps unconsciously, in the heliocentric universe every newspaper in the land has a section on astrology, yet few have anything at all on astronomy. Hannes Alfven Scientists tend to resist interdisciplinary inquiries into their own territory. In many instances, such parochialism is founded on the fear that intrusion from other disciplines would compete unfairly for limited financial resources and thus diminish their own opportunity for research. Hannes Alfven The peer review system is satisfactory during quiescent times, but not during a revolution in a discipline such as astrophysics, when the establishment seeks to preserve the status quo. Hannes Alfven There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time. It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago. Hannes Alfven To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science. Hannes Alfven We have to learn again that science without contact with experiments is an enterprise which is likely to go completely astray into imaginary conjecture. Hannes Alfven We should remember that there was once a discipline called natural philosophy. Unfortunately, this discipline seems not to exist today. It has been renamed science, but science of today is in danger of losing much of the natural philosophy aspect.

He is revered by Sunni Muslims as the last of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs and as a foremost religious authority on the Qur'an and Islamic jurisprudence. Shi'a Muslims consider him the First Imam appointed by the Prophet Muhammad and the first rightful caliph. Ali was the cousin of Muhammad, and after marriage to Fatima Zahra, he also became Muhammad's son-in-law. == Quotes == A man's measure is his will. Ali ibn Abi Talib A poor man is like a foreigner in his own country. Ali ibn Abi Talib Do not be too hard, lest you be broken; do not be too soft, lest you be squeezed. Ali ibn Abi Talib Do not share the knowledge with which you have been blessed with everyone in general, as you do with some people in particular; and know that there are some men in whom Allah, may He he glorified, has placed hidden secrets, which they are forbidden to reveal. Ali ibn Abi Talib If poverty were a man, I would have slain him. Ali ibn Abi Talib To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.

Muhammad Ali A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow. I have seen the light and I'm crowing. Muhammad Ali Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are. Muhammad Ali Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up. Muhammad Ali Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. Muhammad Ali Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life. Muhammad Ali Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. Muhammad Ali Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong. Muhammad Ali He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. Muhammad Ali I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own. Muhammad Ali I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

Muhammad Ali I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington. Muhammad Ali I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest. Muhammad Ali I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'' Muhammad Ali I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free. Muhammad Ali I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want. Muhammad Ali I run on the road, long before I dance under the lights. Muhammad Ali I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world. Muhammad Ali I'll be floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. Muhammad Ali I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on. Muhammad Ali I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round. Muhammad Ali I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark. Muhammad Ali I'm the best. I just haven't played yet. Muhammad Ali I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren't no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn't know about them. Muhammad Ali If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you. Muhammad Ali If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize. Muhammad Ali It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe. Muhammad Ali It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am. Muhammad Ali It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up. Muhammad Ali It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself. Muhammad Ali It's not bragging if you can back it up. Muhammad Ali It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. Muhammad Ali Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you. Muhammad Ali Love is a net that catches hearts like a fish. Muhammad Ali My toughest fight was with my first wife. Muhammad Ali My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world. Muhammad Ali No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room. Muhammad Ali Old age is just a record of one's whole life. Muhammad Ali Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. Muhammad Ali Only the nose knows, Where the nose goes, When the door close. Muhammad Ali Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths. Muhammad Ali Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth. Muhammad Ali Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer. Muhammad Ali Superman don't need no seat belt. Muhammad Ali The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights. Muhammad Ali The man who has no imagination has no wings. Muhammad Ali The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life. Muhammad Ali There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people. Muhammad Ali There are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win. Muhammad Ali To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich. Muhammad Ali Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change. Muhammad Ali We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last. Muhammad Ali What keeps me going is goals. Muhammad Ali When you are as great as I am it is hard to be humble. Muhammad Ali When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace.

Fred Allen A gentleman is any man who wouldn't hit a woman with his hat on. Fred Allen A molehill man is a pseudo-busy executive who comes to work at 9 am and finds a molehill on his desk. He has until 5 p.m. to make this molehill into a mountain. An accomplished molehill man will often have his mountain finished before lunch. Fred Allen A vice president in an advertising agency is a "molehill man" who has until 5 PM to make a molehill into a mountain.

Fred Allen It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals.

Fred Allen Most of us spend the first 6 days of each week sowing wild oats, then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure. Fred Allen Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.

Fred Allen We are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion. Fred Allen What's on your mind, if you will allow the overstatement? Fred Allen When a radio comedian's program is finally finished it slinks down Memory Lane into the limbo of yesteryear's happy hours. All that the comedian has to show for his years of work and aggravation is the echo of forgotten laughter. Fred Allen You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart.

Born in Leicester, England, James was 15 when his father, a businessman, was robbed and murdered. He left school to work full-time in several British manufacturing firms to help support the family. Eventually he married and became an executive secretary for a large company.

There he wrote for 9 years producing over 20 works. James Allen died in 1912, at age 48. == Quotes == A man is literally what he thinks. James Allen A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings. James Allen A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life. James Allen Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it. James Allen All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts. James Allen Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him. James Allen Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. James Allen For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now? James Allen Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit. James Allen Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.

James Allen In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. James Allen It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel. James Allen Let there be nothing within thee that is not very beautiful and very gentle, and there will be nothing without thee that is not beautiful and softened by the spell of thy presence. James Allen Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation. James Allen Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. James Allen Mind is the Master-power that molds and makes, and Man is Mind, and ever more he takes the Tool of Thought, and shaping what he wills, brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills-He thinks in secret and it comes to pass; Environment is but his looking-glass. James Allen No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks. James Allen No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it. James Allen Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him. James Allen The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. James Allen The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny. James Allen The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. James Allen The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do. James Allen To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment. James Allen To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve. James Allen To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully. James Allen Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor. James Allen Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results. James Allen You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. James Allen You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as you dominant aspiration.

Mark Twain The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. Mark Twain The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes. Mark Twain The educated Southerner has no use for an 'R', except at the beginning of a word. Mark Twain The fear of death follows from the fear of life.

Mark Twain There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable. Mark Twain There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress.

Mark Twain Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain't so. Mark Twain Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. Mark Twain Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.

Mark Twain When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear. Mark Twain When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not. Mark Twain When in doubt tell the truth. Mark Twain When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained. Mark Twain When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old. Mark Twain Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. Mark Twain Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved. Mark Twain Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.

Woody Allen I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member. Woody Allen I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.

Woody Allen I'm very proud of my gold pocket watch. My grandfather, on his deathbed, sold me this watch. Woody Allen I've never been an intellectual but I have this look.

Woody Allen It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off. Woody Allen It's impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune. Woody Allen It's not that I'm afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens. Woody Allen Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television. Woody Allen Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. Woody Allen Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

Woody Allen The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep. Woody Allen The prison psychiatrist asked me if I thought sex was dirty. I told him only when it's done right. Woody Allen The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.

Aaron Allston Definition of 'Free': You pay for it whether or not you elect to receive it. Aaron Allston Feminism is sort of like God.

Most of us can't get paid to be smart. Aaron Allston I'm content to stand on tradition. I'm even more content to wipe my feet on it. Aaron Allston If you hack the Vatican server, have you tampered in God's domain? Aaron Allston Lawyers are the first refuge of the incompetent. Aaron Allston Life is like an analogy. Aaron Allston Luck consists largely of hanging on by your fingernails until things start to go your way. Aaron Allston No one pays me to be nice. Aaron Allston The analysis of the thing is not the thing itself. Aaron Allston The chief difference between horror fans and science fiction fans lies in why they won't walk backwards. A horror fan won't walk backwards because he knows he'll be knifed by a madman. A science fiction fan won't walk backwards because he knows he'll step on the cat.

You just have to learn to hang out with it. Tori Amos Guys would sleep with a bicycle if it had the right color lip gloss on. They have no shame. They're like bull elks in a field. Tori Amos Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it. Tori Amos I have so many different personalities in me and I still feel lonely. Tori Amos I'm obsessed with crocodiles and getting eaten by one. When I hear that someone's been eaten by a crocodile or shark, I just get all gooey. I start salivating. Tori Amos In our minds, love and lust are really separated. It's hard to find someone that can be kind and you can trust enough to leave your kids with, and isn't afraid to throw her man up against the wall and lick him from head to toe. Tori Amos Many people lock a part of themselves away. It's a bit sacred. Tori Amos Our generation has an incredible amount of realism, yet at the same time it loves to complain and not really change. Because, if it does change, then it won't have anything to complain about. Tori Amos People out there must be told about the self-loathing that follows rape and how it's the greatest breakage in divine law to mutilate themselves, as I have done. Tori Amos Some of the most wonderful people are the ones who don't fit into boxes. Tori Amos Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin. Tori Amos Sometimes you have to do what you don't like to get to where you want to be. Tori Amos The violence betwen women is unbelievable. Women try to make each other crawl so that their knees are bleeding. Tori Amos There's room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you're trying to be like somebody else, then there is isn't. Tori Amos What girls do to each other is beyond description. No chinese torture comes close. Tori Amos When you stop putting yourself on the line, and you don't touch your own heart, how do you expect to touch other people? Tori Amos Women must understand that simply attacking or hating men is just another form of disempowerment. A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn't give her power. Tori Amos You know that saying, bad things don't happen to good people? That's a lie.

Controversially, he was executed for treason by the British as a result of his wartime activities. == Quotes == Almost everything in 'A Day With Wilbur Robinson' has some basis in truth. And yes, my sister did pay me to feed her grapes while she talked to her boyfriend on the phone. William Joyce And I was lucky enough to have teachers that really, really looked out for me and really encouraged all that. And in rural Louisiana, that was a rare thing back then. William Joyce And they're also very good at math, these super boogers, and so they teach Billy the ways of mathematics. William Joyce But if you really love to write and you really love to tell stories and you really love to draw, you just have to keep doing it no matter what anybody says. William Joyce I did have great teachers that saw that I loved to tell stories and saw that I loved to draw and encouraged that. William Joyce I did not win and in fact I was called into the principal's office for a consultation with my parents. But that was the beginning of my literary career. William Joyce I have known lots of adults who enjoyed similar enthusiasms as a kid and weren't encouraged and then didn't go anywhere with it and so they're unhappy in their jobs as adults. William Joyce I just took the idea that King Kong was too big for everything and reversed it and put George in a land of giants, which is basically what every kid goes through anyway - that, you know, the world is made for grownups, for tall people, for the giants. William Joyce I like stirring things up. I'm on the side of the kids more than I am on the adults. And occasionally I find some adults that have that same mischievous streak, so I don't get in too much trouble. William Joyce I raised frogs every spring in our house from tadpoles and by end of summer our house was overrun with frogs. William Joyce I wanted to do this blue skies and perfect days and robots and to do a show where you got to like do stuff you can't do in real life. William Joyce I've always liked getting away with just a little bit of what you're not supposed to. Like my first book, Billy's Booger, got me in trouble with the principal's office. William Joyce If you really want to tell stories, do it and don't be dissuaded. William Joyce It seemed perfectly plausible. So I celebrated him in that book by making the uncle genuinely being from outer space and re-arriving in his spaceship. It's all that stuff that happened. William Joyce It was done entirely in green crayon and it was for a contest at my school to see what kid could write and illustrate the best kid's book. William Joyce It was like, all I did was draw some pictures of a booger and write fiction about these boogers' adventures. And I managed to endear myself to all my classmates, but drive the grownups crazy. William Joyce It was very matter of fact. It was like, "Well, you know, when I was traveling intergalactically last week and met some of my friends on Mars... They may come visit this weekend." William Joyce Rolie Polie Olie for me has always been a combination of several things. It's like "Leave It to Beaver" with robots and a little bit of Mickey Mouse. William Joyce So I just combined the two. Yes, I had an uncle who swore he was from outer space. And he was so convincing. I was like, "Why would a grownup lie about that?" William Joyce So if you're a robot and you're living on this planet, you can do things that you can't do in real life - things that you wished you could do: like fly; like have a car that flies; like have furniture that is alive. William Joyce So you know, I'm in there every day and making sure that it's what it should be, and giving it that sort of nth degree of "wouldn't it be cool if-ness" that I have so much fun with. William Joyce That's not every kid's dream, but certainly a dream that you can sometimes have - or, wouldn't it be cool if. I guess Rolie Polie Olie is a show entirely made up of "wouldn't it be cool if." William Joyce The first book I ever wrote was in fourth grade and it was called 'Billy's Booger.'

Leo Burnett (October 21, 1891 - June 7, 1971) was an advertising executive famous for creating such icons as the Jolly Green Giant, the Marlboro Man, the Pillsbury Doughboy and Tony the Tiger. == Quotes == A good ad which is not run never produces sales. Leo Burnett A good basic selling idea, involvement and relevancy, of course, are as important as ever, but in the advertising din of today, unless you make yourself noticed and believed, you ain't got nothin'. Leo Burnett Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink. Leo Burnett Advertising says to people, 'Here's what we've got. Here's what it will do for you. Here's how to get it.' Leo Burnett Anyone who thinks that people can be fooled or pushed around has an inaccurate and pretty low estimate of people - and he won't do very well in advertising. Leo Burnett Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun. Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean there cannot be fun in business. Leo Burnett Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people. Leo Burnett Fun without sell gets nowhere but sell without fun tends to become obnoxious. Leo Burnett Good advertising does not just circulate information. It penetrates the public mind with desires and belief. Leo Burnett I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death. Leo Burnett I have learned that any fool can write a bad ad, but that it takes a real genius to keep his hands off a good one. Leo Burnett I have learned that it is far easier to write a speech about good advertising than it is to write a good ad. Leo Burnett I have learned that trying to guess what the boss or the client wants is the most debilitating of all influences in the creation of good advertising. Leo Burnett I have learned that you can't have good advertising without a good client, that you can't keep a good client without good advertising, and no client will ever buy better advertising than he understands or has an appetite for. Leo Burnett I have learned to respect ideas, wherever they come from. Often they come from clients. Account executives often have big creative ideas, regardless of what some writers think. Leo Burnett I regard a great ad as the most beautiful thing in the world. Leo Burnett If you are writing about baloney, don't try and make it Cornish hen, because that's the worst kind of baloney there is. Just make it darn good baloney. Leo Burnett If you are writing about baloney, don't try to make it Cornish hen, because that is the worst kind of baloney there is. Just make it darned good baloney. Leo Burnett If you can't turn yourself into your customer, you probably shouldn't be in the ad writing business at all. Leo Burnett If you don't get noticed, you don't have anything. You just have to be noticed, but the art is in getting noticed naturally, without screaming or without tricks. Leo Burnett Let's gear our advertising to sell goods, but let's recognize also that advertising has a broad social responsibility. Leo Burnett Make it simple. Make it memorable. Make it inviting to look at. Make it fun to read. Leo Burnett Plan the sale when you plan the ad. Leo Burnett Rarely have I seen any really great advertising created without a certain amount of confusion, throw-aways, bent noses, irritation and downright cursedness. Leo Burnett Regardless of the moral issue, dishonesty in advertising has proved very unprofitable. Leo Burnett The greatest thing to be achieved in advertising, in my opinion, is believability, and nothing is more believable than the product itself. Leo Burnett The secret of all effective advertising is not the creation of new and tricky words and pictures, but one of putting familiar words and pictures into new relationships. Leo Burnett The secret of all effective originality in advertising is not the creation of new and tricky words and pictures, but one of putting familiar words and pictures into new relationships. Leo Burnett The sole purpose of business is service. The sole purpose of advertising is explaining the service which business renders. Leo Burnett The work of an advertising agency is warmly and immediately human. It deals with human needs, wants, dreams and hopes. Its 'product' cannot be turned out on an assembly line. Leo Burnett There is no such thing as a permanent advertising success. Leo Burnett To swear off making mistakes is very easy. All you have to do is swear off having ideas. Leo Burnett Too many ads that try not to go over the reader's head end up beneath his notice. Leo Burnett We want consumers to say, 'That's a hell of a product' instead of, 'That's a hell of an ad.' Leo Burnett What helps people, helps business. Leo Burnett When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either. Leo Burnett When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get them, but you won't. Leo Burnett Whether or not the standard of living made possible by mass production and in turn by mass circulation, is supported by and filled with the work of us hucksters, I guess is something that only history can decide.

Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home. Rodney Dangerfield Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself. Rodney Dangerfield At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't. Rodney Dangerfield I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand. Rodney Dangerfield I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio. Rodney Dangerfield I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it. Rodney Dangerfield I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people. Rodney Dangerfield I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest. Rodney Dangerfield I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face. Rodney Dangerfield I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me. Rodney Dangerfield I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.

Rodney Dangerfield It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass. Rodney Dangerfield Life is just a bowl of pits. Rodney Dangerfield Men who do things without being told draw the most wages. Rodney Dangerfield Most of the arguments to which I am party fall somewhat short of being impressive, knowing to the fact that neither I nor my opponent knows what we are talking about. Rodney Dangerfield My cousins gay, he went to London only to find out that Big Ben was a clock. Rodney Dangerfield My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet. Rodney Dangerfield My marriage is on the rocks again, yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend. Rodney Dangerfield My mother had morning sickness after I was born.

He said okay, you're ugly too. Rodney Dangerfield My uncle's dying wish - he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair. Rodney Dangerfield My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met! Rodney Dangerfield My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it. Rodney Dangerfield My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee. Unfortunately, she was just coming home.

Rodney Dangerfield Some dog I got too. We call him Egypt. Because in every room he leaves a pyramid. Rodney Dangerfield The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest. Rodney Dangerfield They change the sheets every day... from one bed to another. Rodney Dangerfield This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me. Rodney Dangerfield We sleep in separate rooms, we have dinner apart, we take separate vacations - we're doing everything we can to keep our marriage together. Rodney Dangerfield What a dog I got, his favorite bone is in my arm. Rodney Dangerfield What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bee and he told me about the butcher and my wife.

Of all the Italian film-makers of the 20th century (1900 to 2000), he was one of the ones who were most respected and who had the most effect on other people. He is considered to be one of the best film (movie) directors (makers) of all time. == Quotes == *A different language is a different vision of life. *:[http://www.brainyquote.com] *:'''Simple:'''A different language is a different way to see life. *All art is autobiographical.

Jean-Luc Godard (born 3 December 1930 in Paris) is a French filmmaker and one of the most influential members of the Nouvelle Vague, or "French New Wave". == Quotes == A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. Jean-Luc Godard All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl. Jean-Luc Godard Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion. Jean-Luc Godard Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world. Jean-Luc Godard I don't think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, not a movie. You can't kiss a movie. Jean-Luc Godard I like a film to have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order. Jean-Luc Godard I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas. Jean-Luc Godard One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together. Jean-Luc Godard Photography is truth. Jean-Luc Godard The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't. Jean-Luc Godard The truth is that there is no terror untempered by some great moral idea. Jean-Luc Godard To be or not to be. That's not really a question. Jean-Luc Godard To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body. Both go together, they can't be separated.

It is also full of overcoming. Helen Keller Although the world is full of suffering,it is also full of the overcoming of it. Helen Keller As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision. Helen Keller As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill. Helen Keller Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Helen Keller Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction! Helen Keller Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller College isn't the place to go for ideas. Helen Keller Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see. Helen Keller Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. Helen Keller Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. Helen Keller I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world. Helen Keller I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace. Helen Keller I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. Helen Keller I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers. Helen Keller Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged. Helen Keller It gives me a deep comforting sense that "things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal." Helen Keller It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision. Helen Keller It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal. Helen Keller It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing. Helen Keller It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length. Helen Keller It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui. Helen Keller It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears. Helen Keller Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. Helen Keller Knowledge is love and light and vision. Helen Keller Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. Helen Keller Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others. Helen Keller Life is either a great adventure or nothing. Helen Keller Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness. Helen Keller Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. Helen Keller Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either. Helen Keller Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. Helen Keller My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious. Helen Keller Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. Helen Keller No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right. Helen Keller No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit. Helen Keller Now is the time for all good men to come to. Helen Keller Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living. Helen Keller One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. Helen Keller Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings. Helen Keller Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived. Helen Keller Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Helen Keller The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next. Helen Keller The highest result of education is tolerance. Helen Keller The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse. Helen Keller The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker. Helen Keller To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. Helen Keller Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle. Helen Keller Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness. Helen Keller Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained. Helen Keller We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough. Helen Keller We may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings. Helen Keller What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self. Helen Keller What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Helen Keller When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don't see the one that has opened for us. Helen Keller When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. Helen Keller When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. Helen Keller While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.

Timothy Francis Leary, Ph.D. (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996) was an American writer, psychologist, and advocate of psychedelic drug research and use. == Quotes == Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top. Timothy Leary If you don't like what you're doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. Timothy Leary In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. Timothy Leary Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time. Timothy Leary My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out. Timothy Leary Science is all metaphor. Timothy Leary There are three side effects of acid: enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third. Timothy Leary We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. Timothy Leary Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition. Timothy Leary You can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. Timothy Leary You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind. Timothy Leary Terry Francona 2047 4848 2006-12-10T14:43:26Z Sir James Paul 54 /* Quotes */ Terry Francona is the manager of the Boston Red Sox. == Quotes == “Don't get me wrong: These people love the Patriots. But they wake up and want to know what happened to the Red Sox. I mean, they really care. It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it. It's part of what's so good. But I'm right smack in the middle of it, and it gives me a headache sometimes. I know what it means to these people. I just want to do what's right for our team. I love living through this with them.” “You get to the ninth inning and your stomach is clear up to here. But it's not because of your job. It is because you want to win so badly.” (I want to win so bad I feel sick) “The excitement level will be off the charts. You'll see a lot of guys running to the ballpark. I might jog.” The exitement level is very high, some players will be running to the ball park, I will jog) “I don't know about unique; I think he's good. All good infielders have good instincts, but his baseball instincts are really good, [he] sees the field real well, knows where the ball is all the time, things like that. Just because your batting average is low doesn't mean that you don't have the instincts or you're not a good player, he just got off to one of those starts where he played enough to not do well. We've all been through it. For whatever reason, he just had a tough time getting untracked.” “A win is a win, and that's good. That's what we set out to do. It wasn't easy, but it ended up good.” (This is saying that winning is good.) Fahrenheit 451 2049 4754 2006-12-09T02:25:34Z Sir James Paul 54 /* Part I: "The Hearth and the Salamander" */ == Part I: "The Hearth and the Salamander"== * "It was a pleasure to burn." * "I'm seventeen and I'm crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always say seventeen and insane." * "Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes. That's our official slogan." * "Do you ever read any of the books you burn?" He laughed. "That's against the law!" Oh. Of course." * "You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time any more for anyone else. You're one of the few who put up with me. That's why I think it's so strange you're a fireman, it just doesn't seem right for you, somehow." * They crashed the front door and grabbed at a woman, though she was not running, she was not trying to escape. She was only standing, weaving from side to side, her eyes fixed upon a nothingness in the wall as if they had struck her a terrible blow upon the head. Her tongue was moving in her mouth, and her eyes seemed to be trying to remember something, and then they remembered and her tongue moved again: Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out." o This is a quotation of Hugh Latimer to Nicholas Ridley as they were about to be burned at the stake as heretics during the reign of "Bloody Mary", Queen Mary I of England. * How inconvenient! Always before it had been like snuffing a candle. The police went first and adhesive-taped the victim's mouth and bandaged him off into their glittering beetle cars, so when you arrived you found an empty house. You weren't hurting anyone, you were hurting only things! And since things really couldn't be hurt, since things felt nothing, and things don't scream or whimper, as this woman might begin to scream and cry out, there was nothing to tease your conscience later. You were simply cleaning up. Janitorial work, essentially. Everything to its proper place. Quick with the kerosene! Who's got a match! * "She's nothing to me; she shouldn't have had books. It was her responsibility, she should have thought of that. I hate her. She's got you going and next thing you know we'll be out, no house, no job, nothing." * "Let you alone! That's all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?" * Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet (you know the title certainly, Montag; it is probably only a faint rumour of a title to you, Mrs. Montag) whose sole knowledge, as I say, of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed: 'now at least you can read all the classics; keep up with your neighbours.' Do you see? Out of the nursery into the college and back to the nursery; there's your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more." * "With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word `intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be. You always dread the unfamiliar." * " We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against." * "People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these." * " She didn't want to know how a thing was done, but why. That can be embarrassing. You ask Why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed, if you keep at it. The poor girl's better off dead." * "If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war." * "Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy." * "I hope I've clarified things. The important thing for you to remember, Montag, is we're the Happiness Boys, the Dixie Duo, you and I and the others. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought. We have our fingers in the dyke. Hold steady. Don't let the torrent of melancholy and drear philosophy drown our world. We depend on you. I don't think you realize how important you are, to our happy world as it stands now." * "That woman, the other night, Millie, you weren't there. You didn't see her face. And Clarisse. You never talked to her. I talked to her. And men like Beatty are afraid of her. I can't understand it. Why should they be so afraid of someone like her? But I kept putting her alongside the firemen in the house last night, and I suddenly realized I didn't like them at all, and I didn't like myself at all any more." * Montag picked a single small volume from the floor. "Where do we begin?" He opened the book halfway and peered at it. "We begin by beginning, I guess." == Part II: "The Sieve and the Sand" == * "Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going, a long time back. I said nothing. I'm one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself. And when finally they set the structure to burn the books, using the, firemen, I grunted a few times and subsided, for there were no others grunting or yelling with me, by then. Now, it's too late." (see Pastor Martin Niemöller) * "We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing. I looked around. The only thing I positively knew was gone was the books I'd burned in ten or twelve years. So I thought books might help." * " The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through the radios and televisors, but are not. No, no, it's not books at all you're looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us. Of course you couldn't know this, of course you still can't understand what I mean when I say all this." * "The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies." * "Do you know the legend of Hercules and Antaeus, the giant wrestler, whose strength was incredible so long as he stood firmly on the earth. But when he was held, rootless, in mid-air, by Hercules, he perished easily. If there isn't something in that legend for us today, in this city, in our time, then I am completely insane." * "The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are. They're Caesar's praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, 'Remember, Caesar, thou art mortal.' Most of us can't rush around, talk to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for, Montag, are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book. Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore." * "If there were no war, if there was peace in the world, I'd say fine, have fun! But, Montag, you mustn't go back to being just a fireman. All isn't well with the world." * "You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn." * "Do you know, I had a dream an hour ago. I lay down for a cat-nap and in this dream you and I, Montag, got into a furious debate on books. You towered with rage, yelled quotes at me. I calmly parried every thrust." * "Oh, you were scared silly," said Beatty, "for I was doing a terrible thing in using the very books you clung to, to rebut you on every hand, on every point! What traitors books can be! You think they're backing you up, and they turn on you. Others can use them, too, and there you are, lost in the middle of the moor, in a great welter of nouns and verbs and adjectives." * "All right, he's had his say. You must take it in. I'll say my say, too, in the next few hours. And you'll take it in. And you'll try to judge them and make your decision as to which way to jump, or fall. But I want it to be your decision, not mine, and not the Captain's. But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy of truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority." * "I paid for all this - how? Playing the stock-market, of course, the last refuge in the world for the dangerous intellectual out of a job." == Part III: "Burning Bright" == * "What a dreadful surprise," said Beatty. "For everyone nowadays knows, absolutely is certain, that nothing will ever happen to me. Others die, I go on. There are no consequences and no responsibilities. Except that there are. But let's not talk about them, eh? By the time the consequences catch up with you, it's too late, isn't it, Montag?" * "It was pretty silly, quoting poetry around free and easy like that. It was the act of a silly damn snob. Give a man a few lines of verse and he thinks he's the Lord of all Creation. You think you can walk on water with your books. Well, the world can get by just fine without them. Look where they got you, in slime up to your lip. If I stir the slime with my little finger, you'll drown ! " * "... watch for a man running ... watch for the running man . . . watch for a man alone, on foot . . . watch..." * They would have killed me, thought Montag, swaying, the air still torn and stirring about him in dust, touching his bruised cheek. For no reason at all in the world they would have killed me. * ". . . Mechanical Hound never fails. Never since its first use in tracking quarry has this incredible invention made a mistake. Tonight, this network is proud to have the opportunity to follow the Hound by camera helicopter as it starts on its way to the target..." * Would he have time for a speech? As the Hound seized him, in view of ten or twenty or thirty million people, mightn't he sum up his entire life in the last week in one single phrase or a word that would stay with them long after the Hound had turned, clenching him in its metal-plier jaws, and trotted off in darkness, while the camera remained stationary, watching the creature dwindle in the distance— a splendid fade-out! What could he say in a single word, a few words, that would sear all their faces and wake them up? * With an effort, Montag reminded himself again that this was no fictional episode to be watched on his run to the river; it was in actuality his own chess-game he was witnessing, move by move. * "Police suggest entire population in the Elm Terrace area do as follows: Everyone in every house in every street open a front or rear door or look from the windows. The fugitive cannot escape if everyone in the next minute looks from his house. Ready! " Of course! Why hadn't they done it before! Why, in all the years, hadn't this game been tried! Everyone up, everyone out! He couldn't be missed! The only man running alone in the night city, the only man proving his legs! * The sun burned every day. It burned Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen, and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burned! * Somewhere the saving and putting away had to begin again and someone had to do the saving and keeping, one way or another, in books, in records, in people's heads, any way at all so long as it was safe, free from moths, silver-fish, rust and dry-rot, and men with matches. * He walked on the track. And he was surprised to learn how certain he suddenly was of a single fact he could not prove. Once, long ago, Clarisse had walked here, where he was walking now. * "They're faking. You threw them off at the river. They can't admit it. They know they can hold their audience only so long. The show's got to have a snap ending, quick! If they started searching the whole damn river it might take all night. So they're sniffing for a scape-goat to end things with a bang. Watch. They'll catch Montag in the next five minutes! " * "Right now, some poor fellow is out for a walk. A rarity. An odd one. Don't think the police don't know the habits of queer ducks like that, men who walk mornings for the hell of it, or for reasons of insomnia. Anyway, the police have had him charted for months, years. Never know when that sort of information might be handy. And today, it turns out, it's very usable indeed. It saves face." * "The search is over, Montag is dead; a crime against society has been avenged." * "They didn't show the man's face in focus. Did you notice? Even your best friends couldn't tell if it was you. They scrambled it just enough to let the imagination take over. "Hell," he whispered. "Hell." * "Walk carefully. Guard your health. If anything should happen to Harris, you are the Book of Ecclesiastes." * "Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there. It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime." * "'I hate a Roman named Status Quo!' he said to me. 'Stuff your eyes with wonder,' he said, 'live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that,' he said, 'shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.'" * I want to see everything now. And while none of it will be me when it goes in, after a while it'll all gather together inside and it'll be me. Look at the world out there, my God, my God, look at it out there, outside me, out there beyond my face and the only way to really touch it is to put it where it's finally me, where it's in the blood, where it pumps around a thousand times ten thousand a day. I get hold of it so it'll never run off. I'll hold on to the world tight some day. I've got one finger on it now; that's a beginning. * "There was a silly damn bird called a Phoenix back before Christ: every few hundred years he built a pyre and burned himself up. He must have been first cousin to Man. But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we're doing the same thing, over and over, but we've got one damn thing the Phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years, and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we'll stop making the goddam funeral pyres and jumping into the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember, every generation." * ". But even when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn't use what we got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead. We went right on spitting in the graves of all the poor ones who died before us. We're going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering. That's where we'll win out in the long run. And some day we'll remember so much that we'll build the biggest goddamn steam-shovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up. Come on now, we're going to go build a mirror-factory first and put out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them."

Maya Angelou (born Marguerite Johnson April 4, 1928) is an American poet, memoirist, actress and an important figure in the American Civil Rights Movement. == Quotes == Achievement brings its own anticlimax. Maya Angelou All great achievements require time. Maya Angelou All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened. Maya Angelou Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him. Maya Angelou As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them. Maya Angelou At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice. Maya Angelou Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean. Maya Angelou Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives. Maya Angelou Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. Maya Angelou Education helps one case cease being intimidated by strange situations. Maya Angelou Effective action is always unjust. Maya Angelou For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place. Maya Angelou How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! Maya Angelou I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people. Maya Angelou I believe that every person is born with talent. Maya Angelou I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water. Maya Angelou If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform a million realities. Maya Angelou If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities. Maya Angelou If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die. Maya Angelou If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. Maya Angelou If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded. Maya Angelou If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers. Maya Angelou It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. Maya Angelou Life loves the liver of it. Maya Angelou Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: ''I'm with you kid. Let's go.'' Maya Angelou Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise. Maya Angelou Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. Maya Angelou My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return. Maya Angelou My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself. Maya Angelou My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors. Maya Angelou Nothing will work unless you do. Maya Angelou One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest. Maya Angelou Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends. Maya Angelou Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible. Maya Angelou Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable. Maya Angelou Some critics will write 'Maya Angelou is a natural writer' - which is right after being a natural heart surgeon. Maya Angelou Something made greater by ourselves and in turn that makes us greater. Maya Angelou The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance. Maya Angelou The need for change bulldozed road down the center of my mind. Maya Angelou The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed. Maya Angelou There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it. Maya Angelou There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. Maya Angelou There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing. Maya Angelou There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth. Maya Angelou We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color. Maya Angelou We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders. Maya Angelou We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated. Maya Angelou While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation. Maya Angelou Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.

Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob (born August 6, 1934 in Oxford, England) is a writer in the science fiction and fantasy genres, publishing under the name Piers Anthony. == Quotes == All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense. Piers Anthony As for collaboration - I have done a lot, 26 books, and found publishers increasingly resistive to them. It's not that the books are bad; editors won't even read them. Piers Anthony At present I answer about 100 letters a month, and read 300 emails. Piers Anthony At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet. Piers Anthony But I don't read or listen for pleasure. I have too much else to do. Piers Anthony Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker series also shows the potential of lighter fantastic fiction. I read the first, and listened to a tape of a later one, and it's fun. Piers Anthony Have a working spouse, because you won't earn a living from writing - not at first, if ever. My wife worked for years to support us. Piers Anthony However, my literary agent wants to save Xanth for some later movie deal, so the fact that this isn't Xanth is good. Piers Anthony I did not know at first that it would be a series; I discovered after the first novel that I had more to say about it, so I did another. And another, and then the readers demanded yet more. Piers Anthony I do one Xanth novel a year, because at the moment that is all that publishers will accept; they don't want any other type of fiction from me, so Xanth pays my way. Piers Anthony I don't want ever to be guilty of what my critics claim: doing formula without original elements. Piers Anthony I get requests from readers to do more with particular characters, and I try, but it is not easy to oblige every reader. Piers Anthony I have always admired the work of Phil Farmer and was glad for the chance to work with him. Readers today may be too young to remember his classics like The Lovers. Piers Anthony I hope to read a Harry Potter novel soon, to see what it's all about. I admit to being annoyed that many good light fantasy writers have had trouble getting published, in England and elsewhere, when it is obvious the readers were waiting for us all along. Piers Anthony I maintain an ongoing survey of Internet Publishing and self publishing, so that it is now possible for any writer with a book to get it published at nominal cost or free, and to have it on sale at booksellers like Amazon.com. Piers Anthony I never do a full outline, and if I did, I would not feel bound to it, because the view from inside a scene can be different from the view outside it. But neither do I just start writing and see what happens; I am far more disciplined than that. Piers Anthony I thought I might be an artist, but concluded in college that my talent was not sufficient to enable me to be professional, so I pondered, and more or less overnight concluded that I would make words my paints and be a writer. In retrospect, I think that was one of the best decisions of my life. Piers Anthony I turned my home state of Florida into the Land of Xanth. Piers Anthony I wish my readers took less of my time - about a third of my working time goes to them - but I love and need them all. Piers Anthony If every editor turns you down, maybe you should take a second look at your text, however, just in case. Piers Anthony In fact, I believe that we need better sex education in our own culture, here in America, so that young folk learn about things like venereal disease before they encounter it. Piers Anthony It would be easier to write a novel without reader input, but I feel the fiction is richer for it. Piers Anthony Keep writing, because not only does practice improve skill, it gives you more chances to score on the market. I did that for eight years before making my first sale. Piers Anthony Much of what is published is actually science fantasy, seeming possible but actually impossible, such as faster than light space travel. Piers Anthony My readers ensure originality, in spot elements, and often in significant ones too. Piers Anthony No novel is a clone of any preceding one, though with a background cast of characters and things that has grown to thousands, there are many familiar aspects. Piers Anthony Normally I work out a general summary of what I mean to do, then start writing, and the details can be different from my anticipation. So there is considerable flow, but always within channels. Piers Anthony One reason I don't suffer Writer's Block is that I don't wait on the muse, I summon it at need. Piers Anthony Princess Rose should indeed be a TV movie, assuming something doesn't go wrong. I don't know how good a movie it will be, because the way movie folk think is different from the way writers think, and I distrust what isn't done my way. This is what I call a healthy paranoia. Piers Anthony SF is the literature of the theoretically possible, and F is the literature of the impossible. Piers Anthony That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary. Piers Anthony We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively. Piers Anthony What I like least is dealing with publishers who simply don't want collaborations regardless of their merit. Piers Anthony When I started writing this, I found that I simply couldn't take fantasy seriously, so it became humorous, and continued from there. Piers Anthony When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour.

Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is a former American astronaut, test pilot, and Naval Aviator, and was the first human to set foot on the Moon. == Quotes == As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember. Neil Armstrong Despite being competitors, the Wrights held great respect for Langley. Neil Armstrong Friends and colleagues all of a sudden looked at us, treated us slightly differently than they had months or years before when we were working together. I never quite understood that.

Neil Armstrong I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises. Neil Armstrong I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street. Neil Armstrong I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did. Neil Armstrong I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work. Neil Armstrong I put up my thumb and it blotted out the planet Earth. Neil Armstrong I think that's going to evolve over the next couple of years as this is discussed by NASA and the other members of the technological community and put some flesh on the bones, and I think then we'll be in a much better position to judge what really makes sense. Neil Armstrong I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream. Neil Armstrong I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful. Neil Armstrong In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand. Neil Armstrong It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. Neil Armstrong It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it. Neil Armstrong Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand. Neil Armstrong Our autopilot was taking us into a very large crater, about the size of a big football stadium with steep slopes on the crater, covered with very large rocks about the size of automobiles. That was not the kind of place I wanted to try to make the first landing. Neil Armstrong Pilots take no special joy in walking. Pilots like flying. Neil Armstrong Research is creating new knowledge. Neil Armstrong Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10. Neil Armstrong That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind. Neil Armstrong That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Neil Armstrong The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited. Neil Armstrong The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel. Neil Armstrong We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected. Neil Armstrong We were ever alert for little difficulties that might crop up and be able to handle those. And in the subsequent flights they had their difficulties as well. But they were always able to surmount those problems. And it says a lot for the people that we worked with and who prepared us to go there. Neil Armstrong We would have loved the opportunity to take some time to enjoy it, but we had the inevitable checklist and experiments that had to go on. So it was back to business, back to work as soon as we congratulated each other. Neil Armstrong Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that's when something snaps up and bites you. Neil Armstrong When we lost the competition, we lost the public will to continue. Neil Armstrong Yeah, I wasn't chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn't planned by anyone.

As they have come, so they will go. One day my mortal body will turn to dust, but the Turkish Republic will stand forever. I have been able to teach many things to this nation, but I haven't been able to teach how to be lackeys. Peace at home, peace in the world. I am not ordering you to attack, I am ordering you to die. Turkey's true master is the peasant. Do not be afraid of telling the truth. To see me does not necessarily mean to see my face. To understand my thoughts is to have seen me. The Turkish Republic will be happy, prosperous and victorious. A healthy mind in a healthy body. Armies, your first goal is the Mediterranean. Forward ! Our great ideal is to raise our nation to the highest standard of civilization and prosperity. Culture is the foundation of the Turkish Republic. Following the military triumph we accomplished by bayonets, weapons and blood, we shall strive to win victories in such fields as culture, scholarship, science and economics. Victory is for those who can say "Victory is mine". Success is for those who can begin saying "I will succeed" and say "I have succeeded" in the end. Sovereignty is not given, it is taken. Authority, without any condition and reservation, belongs to the nation. Teachers are the one and only people who save nations. Teachers: the new generation will be your devotion. Our true mentor in life is science. The Turkish Nation consists of the valiant descendants of a people that has lived independently and has considered independence the sole condition of existence. This nation has never lived without freedom, cannot and never will. We Turks are a people who, throughout our history, have been the very embodiment of freedom and independence. Our nation has succeeded owing to the unshakable unity it has shown in its actions and endeavors. Mustafa Kemal¨rk's Address to Turkish Youth Turkish Youth, Your first duty is to preserve and to defend Turkish Independence and the Turkish Republic forever. This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and abroad, who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend your independence and your Republic, you must not hesitate to weigh the possibilities and circumstances of the situation before doing your duty. These possibilities and circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavorable. The enemies conspiring against your independence and your Republic may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and trickery, all the fortresses of your beloved fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every corner of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore, they may identify personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted. Youth of Turkey's future, even in such circumstances it is your duty to save Turkish Independence and the Republic. You will find the strength you need in your noble blood. Ankara, 20th October 1927 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's Speech on the Occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of the Republic Turkish Nation, It is now fifteen years since the War of Liberation commenced. Today is the day of celebration of the tenth anniversary of our Republic. Congratulations. At this moment, as a member of the great Turkish Nation, I am very happy and excited that I have lived to see this great day. My fellow countrymen, We have accomplished great things in a short period of time. The greatest of these is the Turkish Republic, which is based on Turkish heroism and on our great Turkish culture. We owe this success to the determined forward march of the Turkish nation, together with her worthy army. We never think that what we have done is enough. We are determined and obliged to accomplish more and greater things. We are going to advance our country to the level of the most prosperous and the most civilized countries of the world. We shall make it possible for our nation to acquire the necessary resources and means for her to live in nation-wide prosperity. We shall attempt to raise our national culture above the level of contemporary civilization. Therefore, we think and shall continue to think not according to the lethargic mentality of past centuries, but according to the concepts of speed and action of our century. We shall work harder than in the past. We shall accomplish greater things in a shorter time. We have no doubt that we shall succeed in them as well; because the character of the Turkish nation is worthy and noble, the Turkish nation is industrious and the Turkish nation is intelligent. Because the Turkish nation has been successful in overcoming hardships through national unity and togetherness. And because the torch the Turkish nation holds in her hand and in her mind, while marching on the road of progress and civilization, is positive science. I would like to point out with special emphasis that one of the historical characteristics of the Turkish nation, which is a society composed of worthy people, is to appreciate the fine arts and to advance in them as well. Therefore, it is our national ideal to support and to develop the worthy and noble character of the Turkish nation, her industrious quality, her intelligence, her dedication to science, her love of fine arts, and her feeling of national unity always and with every available means and measure. This aim, which is one very suited to the Turkish nation, will make her successful in fulfilling her obligation to cultivate real peace in the entire world. Great Turkish Nation, During the last fifteen years, I have made many promises to you to be successful in our undertakings. I am pleased that I have not failed my nation in any of them and given you cause to doubt me. Today, I speak with the same faith and assurance that, within a short period of time, the whole civilized world will once again recognize that the Turkish nation, moving unified toward the national ideal, is a great nation. I do not doubt that the long buried characteristics and abilities of the Turks will, as they progress, shine like a new sun on the horizon of the great civilization of the future. Turkish Nation, In every decade which passes into eternity, I wholeheartedly wish that you celebrate this great national holiday with ever greater honor, happiness, peace and tranquility. Happy is he who says "I am a Turk". Ankara 29th October 1933 W. H. Auden 2089 4916 2006-12-10T16:25:40Z Sir James Paul 54 New page: Wystan Hugh Auden, known more commonly as W. H.

Auden, (February 21, 1907 – September 29, 1973) was an English poet, often cited as one of the most influential of the 20th century. He spent the first part of his life in the United Kingdom, but emigrated to the United States in 1939, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1946. == Quote == A poet is a professional maker of verbal objects. W. H. Auden A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language. W. H. Auden A professor is someone who talks in someone else's sleep. W. H. Auden A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us. W. H. Auden A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do. W. H. Auden A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become. W. H. Auden All sins tend to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is damnation. W. H. Auden Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation, a mental or physical barter, to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods. W. H. Auden Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. W. H. Auden Art is born of humiliation. W. H. Auden Art is our chief means of breaking bread with the dead. W. H. Auden Before people complain of the obscurity of modern poetry, they should first examine their consciences and ask themselves with how many people and on how many occasions they have genuinely and profoundly shared some experience with another. W. H. Auden Between friends differences in taste or opinion are irritating in direct proportion to their triviality. W. H. Auden Choice of attention - to pay attention to this and ignore that - is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be. W. H. Auden Composing mortals with immortal fire. W. H. Auden Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic. W. H. Auden Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table. W. H. Auden Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud. W. H. Auden For who can bear to feel himself forgotten? W. H. Auden Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do. W. H. Auden God bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich. W. H. Auden Health is the state about which medicine has nothing to say: Sanctity is the state about which theology has nothing to say. W. H. Auden I don't get acting jobs because of my looks. W. H. Auden I'll love you, dear, I'll love you till China and Africa meet and the river jumps over the mountain and the salmon sing in the street. W. H. Auden If time were the wicked sheriff in a horse opera, I'd pay for riding lessons and take his gun away. W. H. Auden In a world of prayer, we are all equal in the sense that each of us is a unique person, with a unique perspective on the world, a member of a class of one. W. H. Auden In relation to a writer, most readers believe in the Double Standard: they may be unfaithful to him as often as they like, but he must never, never be unfaithful to them. W. H. Auden It is already possible to imagine a society in which the majority of the population, that is to say, its laborers, will have almost as much leisure as in earlier times was enjoyed by the aristocracy. When one recalls how aristocracies in the past actually behaved, the prospect is not cheerful. W. H. Auden It takes little talent to see what lies under one's nose, a good deal to know in what direction to point that organ. W. H. Auden It's a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it. W. H. Auden It's frightening how easy it is to commit murder in America. Just a drink too much. I can see myself doing it. In England, one feels all the social restraints holding one back. But here, anything can happen. W. H. Auden Learn from your dreams what you lack. W. H. Auden Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate. W. H. Auden May it not be that, just as we have to have faith in Him, God has to have faith in us and, considering the history of the human race so far, may it not be that ''faith'' is even more difficult for Him than it is for us? W. H. Auden Murder is commoner among cooks than among members of any other profession. W. H. Auden Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest. W. H. Auden Music can be made anywhere, is invisible and does not smell. W. H. Auden Music is the best means we have of digesting time. W. H. Auden My face looks like a wedding-cake left out in the rain. W. H. Auden No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. W. H. Auden No hero is mortal till he dies. W. H. Auden No human being is innocent, but there is a class of innocent human actions called Games. W. H. Auden Nobody knows what the cause is, though some pretend they do; it like some hidden assassin waiting to strike at you. Childless women get it, and men when they retire; it as if there had to be some outlet for their foiled creative fire. W. H. Auden Now is the age of anxiety. W. H. Auden One cannot walk through an assembly factory and not feel that one is in Hell. W. H. Auden Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return. W. H. Auden Slavery is so intolerable a condition that the slave can hardly escape deluding himself into thinking that he is choosing to obey his master's commands when, in fact, he is obliged to. Most slaves of habit suffer from this delusion and so do some writers, enslaved by an all too ''personal'' style. W. H. Auden Some books are undeservedly forgotten; none are undeservedly remembered. W. H. Auden Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about. W. H. Auden The center that I cannot find is known to my unconscious mind. W. H. Auden The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age. W. H. Auden The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own. W. H. Auden The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition. W. H. Auden The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living. W. H. Auden To save your world you asked this man to die; would this man, could he see you now, ask why? W. H. Auden To the man-in-the-street, who, I'm sorry to say, is a keen observer of life, the word 'Intellectual' suggests straight away a man who's untrue to his wife. W. H. Auden We all have these places where shy humiliations gambol on sunny afternoons. W. H. Auden We are here on Earth to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don't know. W. H. Auden What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish. W. H. Auden When I am in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a drawing room full of dukes. W. H. Auden When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes. W. H. Auden You have to see the sex act comically, as a child. W. H. Auden You know there are no secrets in America. It's quite different in England, where people think of a secret as a shared relation between two people. W. H. Auden You must go to bed with friends or whores, where money makes up the difference in beauty or desire. W. H. Auden You owe it to us all to get on with what you're good at. W. H. Auden Your cameraman might enjoy himself because my face looks like a wedding-cake left out in the rain. W. H.

The Silent Master, p. 15 Don't worry, be happy! Lord Meher, Volume 20, page 6742; Sometimes attributed in the form: "Do your best, then don't worry, be happy." *'''Simple''' It is better to say that there is no god than to make god mad. I have come not to teach but to awaken. Universal Message, 1958 *'''Simple''' I have not come to teach people but to help them understand the truth. To penetrate into the essence of all things and significance and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance and benefit of others, by expressing, in the world of forms, truth, love, purity and beauty—this is the sole game which has intrinsic and absolute worth. All other happenings, incidents and attainments in themselves can have no lasting importance. Discourses, Volume II, page 110 § The Place of Occultism in Spiritual Life: III '''Simple''' To go deep into the most important part of all things and significance and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance and benefit of others, by expressing, in the world of forms, truth, love, purity and beauty—this is the sole game which has intrinsic and absolute worth. All other happenings, incidents and attainments in themselves can have no lasting importance. Live more and more in the Present, which is ever beautiful and stretches away beyond the limits of the past and the future. Lord Meher, page 5809 *'''Simple''' Live more in the current time, wich is always nice looking and streches away into the future. If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God. Love Alone Prevails, page 638, by Kitty Davy These false answers — such as, I am stone, I am bird, I am animal, I am man, I am woman, I am great, I am small — are, in turn, received, tested and discarded until the Question arrives at the right and Final Answer, I AM GOD. Excerpted from The Everything and The Nothing by Meher Baba, Section 47, p. 78. Copyright 1989 Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust. For example, you are a man. Is it necessary for you to tell others that you are a man? No. But if you are living among donkeys, you would vehemently declare that you are a man. In the same way, I am God, but I have not to speak of it, because it is quite natural. Yet sometimes, I have to declare it.

June 23, 1936, Oak Park, Illinois) is an American writer. == Quotes == You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a false messiah. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in awhile, and watch your answers change. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed, it feels an impulsion....this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reason and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.. from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly. Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly. from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice? from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly. Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly. from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning. from "The Bridge Across Forever" We're the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and LOVE! from "The Bridge Across Forever" If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim. from "Running From Safety" Can miles truly separate us from friends? If you want to be with Rae, aren't you already there? from "There' No Such Place As Far Away" You have no birthday because you have always lived; you were never born, and never will die. You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are. from "There' No Such Place As Far Away" Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end. from "There' No Such Place As Far Away" Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long. from "Nothing By Chance" Gaston Bachelard 2104 4987 2006-12-10T18:02:08Z Sir James Paul 54 New page: Gaston Bachelard (June 27, 1884 – October 16, 1962) was a French philosopher and poet who rose to some of the most prestigious positions in the French academy despite his humble origins.... Gaston Bachelard (June 27, 1884 – October 16, 1962) was a French philosopher and poet who rose to some of the most prestigious positions in the French academy despite his humble origins. == Quotes == The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows. Gaston Bachelard The words of the world want to make sentences. Gaston Bachelard There is no original truth, only original error. Gaston Bachelard To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer. Gaston Bachelard Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.

Ask a Ninja 2115 5072 2006-12-15T03:04:10Z 132.156.40.108 copying page from English Wikiquote '''''[[w:Ask a Ninja|Ask a Ninja]]''''' is a series of comedy videos about the image of ninjas in popular culture available in podcast and vodcast form, as well as in the popular mov and wmv file formats. The first episode was released in November 2005, but production and editing of that initial episode is not as proficient as the episodes from number 2 (January 2006) onwards. == The Ninja == *I look forward to killing you soon. * You miss 100% of the people you don't stab. * You know what I will say? My least favorite thing to kill is a robot. And I know what you're thinking: 'What? Robots seem fun to kill.' But There's no splatter with a robot. When I stab something, I like the (squishing sound) I like the squish of a good kill, and robots just don't have it. * If a ninja does anything ANYWHERE, it doesn't make a sound, and if it does, it'll probably be the last sound you ever hear. * Complicated. ** In response to the question "What is integral theory?" * Cherish your dreams, for they are the blue print of YOUR HOUSE OF PAIN! * Whether you think you're dead or not, you're right. * Ninjas were the original 1337. *Thr33 woke up the next morning to find themselves surrounded by one million, eight hundred and ninety-five thousand eight hundred and sixty three severely pissed off monkey-dragons! * One summer I drove a bad humor truck. Alright, who's up for chocolate covered kitten? How 'bout a squirrel with a banana shoved down its throat? * It looks like you need to turn your 'summer job' into a 'fummer job'. I really thought that would work a lot better than it actually did. *There's the myth that santa wears red. That is very true. But, the red comes from the blood of children who have woken up in the middle of the night, snuck downstairs, to try to get a glimpse of santa. Kids- DO NOT DO IT! HE HAS TO KILL YOU! *If ninjas can be accused of anything, it's loving too much. Loving to death, as a matter of fact. *Can colds catch ninjas? Nope. We're faster than germs. *The only disease that a ninja is susceptible to is Saturday Night Fever. *I'll tell you this though: sometimes colds get very lazy, and they hire ninjas to do their work for them. Black Plague: Ninjas. Before we came along, it was just known as 'that thing that's going around'. We can change flu season into 'Hey can I borrow your barn to store the bodies until spring" season faster than Tara Reid can destroy a viable career. *Lines are one of the biggest enemies of the ninja. *They should have a ninja channel. *Ninja lines at ninja meetings, still and straight are the key words. They're constantly throwing shurikens dipped in flesh eating bacteria up and down the aisles. You lean forward a little bit, suddenly you don't have an epidermal layer. Which is helpful, it's good to have a layer of skin. *Honestly, lines are not about making friends. *I like the killin'. *Killing is such a positive thing. *You asking me to stop moving around so much would be like me asking you to stop liking Britney Spears, even though she's a fatty right now. *Giving a ninja something black is like giving crazy to Angelina Jolie. It's like giving guns to Master Chief. Like giving boobs to Dolly Parton. We already have plenty. *I love the spunk.... Don't take that out of context. *Enough **In response to ***How much sleep does a ninja get? ***How much do ninjas bathe? ***How many different kinds of weapons are there? *A cream puff. A very deadly cream puff. Underneath the pastry it has very sharp angles on it and the cream that's inside is poison and the powdered sugar is actually, uh, powdered swords. That's a pretty deadly food right there. I wouldn't mind being that food. Would not want to eat one though. **In response to If ninja could be food what food would it be? *Nope. No we do not. But we will play niniature golf, which has some parallels to miniature golf, but I really would not recommend it for a fifth birthday party. **In response to the question, "Do ninjas play miniature golf?" *Kraken, Kraken, Kraken, Kraken, Kraken. **(Pirates of the Carribean Review) *Eeny, meeny, miny, dead<br>Catch a ninja by his head<br>If he hollers kick him back,<br>Then remove his still beating heart and watch him die Slow and Painfully. *Thanks for your question Randy, you look forward to killing me soon!

You can say "support" if you want to turn it off, and "oppose" if you want Simple English Wikiquote to keep going. Log in to Meta and vote at: [[meta:Proposals for closing projects]] I think the people who want to turn off Simple English Wikiquote don't have good ideas. They say "English quotes are English quotes". That's true, but they don't answer when I ask them if we should also take away the translations of Shakespeare into Italian and Spanish and other languages, or the translations of Aristotle into English, on other Wikiquote projects. They say that if someone doesn't understand English, they should read a translation of a quote into their "own" language. What about people who read Simple English but who do not read any other language? (some Deaf people, some people with learning disabilities, some children, etc.) What about people who want to learn English and who do not want to read their own language while they are learning English? Some people may be happy with English--other-language dictionaries, and translations, but many people find it difficult to learn a language if they read their own language while they are trying to learn. I've been translating quotes into Simple English. For example [[William Shakespeare]]. I've contributed to [[:wikipedia:simple:User:Coppertwig|Simple English Wikipedia]], [[:wikipedia:en:User:Coppertwig|English Wikipedia]], [[:wikipedia:fr:Utilisateur:Coppertwig|French Wikipedia]] and even [[:wikipedia:hr:Suradnik:Coppertwig|Croatian (Hrvatski) Wikipedia]]. On English Wikipedia, besides adding content including translations from French, I've also reverted some vandalism, added a bunch of redirects, and links between related pages, to help people find things faster. I've also written many definitions for [[:wiktionary:simple:User:Coppertwig|Simple English Wiktionary]], as well as figuring out how to get (some) Babel boxes working there. (Easy; just copy Template:Babel over from English Wikipedia, but took me a while to figure that out.) ==Coppertwig sockpuppets== I accidentally used a few sockpuppets. I created the account "Copertwig" with only one "p" by accident, and later created the account "Coppertwig" so my name would be the same as on other projects, and I stopped using "Copertwig". I also sometimes forgot to log in, so one or more anonymous contributions are also mine, maybe not always with the same IP address. I'm starting to learn that if I get asked a skill-testing arithmetic question that bots are apparently too stupid to answer it could be a sign I should check whether I forgot to log in. :-) I didn't use those accounts for voting or anything like that. --[[User:Coppertwig|Coppertwig]] 03:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC) ==User subpages== [[User:Coppertwig/Test template]] [[User:Coppertwig/sandbox]] [[en:wikipedia:User:Coppertwig]] Glenn Beck 2117 5083 2006-12-19T03:16:48Z 195.175.37.70 New page: "Awwwwwwwww YEAH!"
