Dr. Football wrote:Round 2: Quotations



All shizzles are taken from this volume.

1. In the 1960s, what was advertised with the slogan "Let your fingers do the walking"?

2.Which British Prime Minister once said, "We are not the masters. The people are the masters. We are the servants of the people ... What the electorate gives, the electorate can take away"

3. Which rock star said "Drugs is like getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning"?


4. "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree"

These are the first two lines of a famous poem. For 1/2 a point each name the poem and the poet in question.

5. "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world ... It is the opium of the people" -- who said this? And for 1 bonus smarty pants point whose philisophy was he critiquing when he said it?

6. "Sex is something I really don't understand too hot. You never know where the hell you are. I keep making up these sex rules myself, and then I break them right away" -- novel and novelist for 1/2 a point each.

7. "Better to reign in _____, than serve in ______" -- John Milton. Fill in the blanks.

8. "Crowned with rank fumitor and furrow weeds,
With burdocks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
In our sustaining corn" -- Shakespeare, but which play?

9. Who said: "Football and cookery are the two most important subjects in the country"?

10. "Someone must have traduced Joseph K., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning" -- this is the opening line of which novel by whom?

'Opiate of the masses' originally comes from Marx's Contribution to Critique of Hegel's philosophy of right

Hegel (just about the most influencial German philosopher ever) tried to justify religion, and wrote a lot about the evolution of reason and society, claiming that God exists only as a 'weltgeist' or 'world-spirit' which is objective and real - "World history is the progression of consciousness in liberty". He brings politics and religion together by seriously equivocating the idea of God, into something that becomes real with the 'organisation of the state'.

Marx loved the way Hegel examined history and described revolutionary forces and struggle against oppression as the progression of humanity, but didn't like the way he started with such abstraction, and pointed out that while Hegel's God is justified, existing religious establishments aren't - they help people take comfort in a society that oppresses them.

The funny thing is, Parv knows I'm reading a lot of German philosophy, it's almost as though he's thrown me a bone. I conject that'll get us the extra points anyway
Cool


Oh, and the Milton one is better to reign in heaven than serve in hell, definitely.

EDIT: The other way around of course.

No, it's better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. Paradise lost book 1.

Yeah I meant that. Got it wrong. You got it right. For certain.

What I said doesn't even make sense.

I think the Shakespeare thing is King Lear... one of the kings at least Razz

I'm afraid I'm no good at these quotes.

Not been much use so far. Crying or Very sad I'll prove my worth eventually.

I agree with all shizzles suggested so far. And I'd like to add that the drugs and cup of tea quote came from one of the blokes in Oasis, I think it was Noel.

Terrible, terrible band. -_-

Laughing Who set the forum word filter to replace 'ans wers' with shizzles?
