Famous Quotes

Actually its one of Nutspecials posts, and it is published (online in E.S. forum), not by anyone famous. But famous is subjective.
Is it famous quotes, or quotes made by famous people.
Again famous is subjective. I am famous, did you know that?

You can quote me on that if you like.

What the frock. *Lol on the floor*

The whole problem :

I don't disagree with the Public Enemy song quote, or even their message (flavor flav :D ).
Are any of those guys (song writers) published authors?

Recorded music is considered "Published." Hence the term 'Music Publisher.'
My song recordings are "copyrighted-unpublished", because they're not recorded or printed for sale. I can use the circle c symbol because they are registered in my name with the Library of Congress and have been assigned a certificate of registration. If they were to be published, someone needs to pay for them, so they can be produced and sold to generate income. This may never happen, but if it does the artist is protected to an extent by the legal system. Hopefully. :pancake:
 
Hahahah OH SHIT! :lol:

I guess I made a boo boo with these threads.
Across the both, we have:

-some false quotes,

-a quote from a man that was a lady (Or something. . . but that one's actually valid imo),

-quotes by batman's butler,

-unknown adventurers eaten by lions,

-some sort of latter day Abe (or time travel?)

-by me, (or debra messing- i really don't know anymore)

We've also determined that this whole thread, site, and internet are 'famous published authors', to an extent worthy of thread pertinence.

Too frocking funny! My face hurts a little.

Dauntless, reaaally stretching it there. Thought it was obvious I didn't indend that?

Actually no, not obvious at all. How are they not good enough? So the old timers that merely published poetry are somehow better because they didnt have recording back then? Makes no sense.

And it happens The Fingers way too, but in the case of Public Enemy it'll be published.

I feel like trying to debunk that as a quote by Debra Messing? -never watched the show-

Got on YouTube, looked at all these season 1 episode 11 postings, and they were NEVER season 1. Sigh.

From Wikiquotes:

Will on Ice [1.11]

Grace: Jada Pinkett.
Will: Mmm.
Grace: Hate her.
Will: Wow, that's kinda harsh. I mean, she's not very...
Grace: Will, you know the rules. Love or hate. No gray area, just like life.
Will: Hate her.
Grace: Good boy.

'Published author' is generally literary, and I did mean 'printed'.
Then people will need to put photos of the books or other printed material they find their quotes in, right?

Cuz it's not "printed" if it is just typed into a computer, it would need to be printed out on a physically handleable and human-readable media first to qualify as printed.


If you mean "in print" that is different, and might be able to include stuff that is simply text on a computer screen as well.

Ok sorry, I need to reword and puctuate this, as there seems some confusion?

Please stay with famous published authors : quotes, excerpts . .
You're going to have to then also limit that to stuff NOT simply found on the internet, but researched thru proper chain of attribution of printed material, and include the bibliography proving it's correct attribution.

Otherwise there is no way for you to verify that any quote is from the sources you specify, and anyone can make up anything they like and put it here. How else will you know?

For that matter, where are your own quotes coming from? What books did they come from? Which publisher and edition, so we can check and verify they are correct and real and attributed to the correct person?

Duck, dodge, dive. Maybe if you post some more quotes no one will notice all the questions asked of you.
Please define the guidelines again, oh and follow them would ya?

Very nice quotation! (not that you need to hear that from me)

Thanks for the correction, another surprise !!! Although quotes may be meaningful regardless of author, I believe certain critera is acceptable(/even desired?) for the thread (like valid referenceable sources).
An indespensable addition is people that want the truth, and fact check.
I am happy to learn more than I knew about things called into question!

If my 'drift' has not been 'caught' between this and toxicquotes, I am surprised. If we can quote anyone or anything, what's the point? If you still find my intention hazy, what is your impression and/or preference for the 'thread subject' then?
What do you want out of it?
 
Excuse me nutspecial, but if you were not to drink any fluid whatsoever you would die.
So next time the officer asks you if you have been drinking tonight, you can quote me, cuz Im famous!

Specifics are needed. Then some think its unconstitutional.

If you followed your own guidelines it would be a nice start! How about you fact check before posting a lie as truth?
How about answering Amberwolfs questions. All important to the integrity of the thread and which you seem to have serious issues with.
 
"'Can I ask you a personal question?' Of all the rhetorical questions
in the world, that is the one which irritates me most with its
simultaneous gesture towards and denial of the trespass that is about
to follow.” -Kamila Shamsie

"The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning." -Aristotle

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. -Dr. Seuss

Think left and think right and think low and think high.
Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try! -Dr. Seuss

The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. -Dr. Seuss

I like Dr Seuss!
 
Well how's that quote go about the best of intentions??

We all probably had them here, but the thread went sideways from my expectiations.

Whatever the community wants- quote whatever the hell you want,
although I'm stickin with literary authors with saleable work.

The press doesn't stop publishing, by the way, in a fascist escalation; it simply watches what it says. That too can be an incremental process, and the pace at which the free press polices itself depends on how journalists are targeted.
-Naomi Wolf

. . . .Those were the years when Hugo Gernsback was publishing 'Amazing Stories,' with vivid, appallingly imaginative cover paintings that fed my hungry imagination.
-Ray Bradbury
 
“Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought-crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by eactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. . . ."
-George Orwell

''Who controls the past', ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.
