# William Mason (poet)

William Mason (12 February 1724 – 7 April 1797) was an English poet, editor and gardener.

## Quotes

* When'er with soft serenity she smiled, Or caught the orient blush of quick surprise, How sweetly mutable, how brightly wild, The liquid lustre darted from her eyes?
** On the Death of a Lady (1760), The poems of William Mason, vol. 1, 1822, p. 86
* The fattest hog in Epicurus' sty.
** Heroic Epistle, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919). Compare: "Me pinguem et nitidum bene curata cute vises, ...Epicuri de grege porcum" (translated: "You may see me, fat and shining, with well-cared for hide,—…a hog from Epicurus' herd"), Horace, Epistolæ, lib. i. iv. 15, 16.

## Quotes about William Mason

* There is hardly a writer of his period who is so little known in our day and whose poems ran through so many editions in his own day. The reviews praised his works; Gray spoke highly of them; Walpole was all adulation; Mrs. Siddons acted in one of his plays; Reynolds annotated one of his poems; Johnson admitted the power of his satire; and Warton went out of his way to bestow supreme commendation upon his didactic poetry. Works by Mason were done into German, French, and Italian; and more than a score of early biographies testify to the interest in his life and personality.
** John W. Draper (1893–1976), William Mason, a study in eighteenth-century culture. New York University Press. 1924. p. 3.

# William Matthew Slattery

William Matthew Slattery (6 September 1943 –) is an Irish prelate of the Catholic Church who served the bishop of the Diocese of Kokstad, the bishop of the Military Ordinariate of the South African Defence Force, and as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Pretoria.

## Quotes

* Bishops' Conferences must create space for us to discern evangelization in our spiritual and pastoral lives. As father and brother we bishops must travel closely with our priests evaluating their parish apostolates and keeping before them the light of Evangelization. We must welcome the new movement but continue with them to keep the vision of the diocese within the contours of their charisms.

# William McDonough

William McDonough (born 21 February 1951) is an American architect and founding principal of William McDonough + Partners, whose career is focused on designing environmentally sustainable buildings and transforming industrial manufacturing processes, with the twin goals of eliminating pollution and increasing the profits of his clients.

## Quotes

* If we think about things having multiple lives, cradle to cradle, we could design things that can go back to either nature or back to industry forever.
** "William McDonough: Godfather of Green", WNYC Studio 360 (18 March 2008)
* If you look at a tree and think of it as a design assignment, it would be like asking you to make something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, provides habitat for hundreds of species, accrues solar energy's fuel, makes complex sugars and food, changes colors with the seasons, creates microclimates, and self-replicates.
** "William McDonough: Godfather of Green", WNYC Studio 360 (18 March 2008).
* There's probably 5000 times more solar energy than the humans will ever need. We could cover our highways with solar collectors to make ribbons of energy, and I think that it's really the largest job creation program in the history of the planet that's in front of us. It's a celebration of the abundance of human creativity combined with the abundance of the natural world.
** "William McDonough: Godfather of Green", WNYC Studio 360 (18 March 2008).
* I can't imagine something being beautiful at this point in history if it's destroying the planet or causing children to get sick. How can anything be beautiful if it's not ecologically intelligent at this point?
** "William McDonough: Godfather of Green", WNYC Studio 360 (18 March 2008).

## Quotes about McDonough

* In addition to describing the hopeful, nature-inspired design principles that are making industry both prosperous and sustainable, the book itself is a physical symbol of the changes to come. It is printed on a synthetic "paper," made from plastic resins and inorganic fillers, designed to look and feel like top quality paper while also being waterproof and rugged. And the book can be easily recycled in localities with systems to collect polypropylene, like that in yogurt containers. This "treeless" book points the way toward the day when synthetic books, like many other products, can be used, recycled, and used again without losing any material quality—in cradle-to-cradle cycles.

# Thackeray (film)

Thackeray is a 2019 Indian film written and directed by Abhijit Panse and made simultaneously in Marathi and Hindi. The film follows the life of Balasaheb Thackeray, the founder of the Indian political party Shiv Sena. The film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Thackeray and Amrita Rao as his wife. The film released on 25 January 2019, right after the 93rd birthday of Bal Thackeray.

## Dialogue

    A.P. Selvarajan: Your cartoons are becoming sharper nowadays.
    Thackeray: I am pleased to know that you understand my cartoons.
    A.P. Selvarajan: Do me a favor and leave SK Patil alone! That Nijalingappa calls me more than my wife in a day. And Morarji is completely off-limits. You start a fire and I pay the price. Thackeray, this press is not for you alone. It's the breadwinner for countless other families. So please stop trying to shut it down.
    Thackeray: If you restrict me from using any of these models... then who am I going to use for my caricatures?
    A.P. Selvarajan: Thackeray, I do not doubt your skills. But this press is dependent on advertisements and good relations. Why are you trying to ruin my business? I know you think you're your own boss. But I have superiors to answer to. It's me who has to face the music.
    Thackeray: I am tired of explaining it to you, but you just don't get it-- I... am an artist and not some laborer.

# Self-realization

Self-realization is an expression used in Western psychology, philosophy, and spirituality which refers to making the most of one's potential, typically via study, self-discipline, and service to humanity.

## Quotes

* Our own self-realization is the greatest service we can render the world.
** Sri Ramana Maharshi quoted by Goodreads
* The three states [of waking, dream and sleep] owe their existence to non-enquiry and enquiry puts an end to them. However much one may explain, the fact will not become clear till one attains Self-realization and wonders how one was blind to the self-evident and only existence so long.
** Sri Ramana Maharshi in Be As You Are, The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi (1985)
* The degree of the absence of thoughts is the measure of your progress towards Self-realization. But Self-realization itself does not admit of progress, it is ever the same. The Self remains always in realization. The obstacles are thoughts.
** Sri Ramana Maharshi in Be As You Are, The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi (1985)
* Self-realization: fulfillment by oneself of the possibilities of one's character or personality.
** Merriam-Webster Dictionary
* Self-realization: Fulfilment of one's own potential.
** Oxford Dictionary
* Maslow describes the good life as one directed towards self-actualization, the pinnacle need. Self-actualization occurs when you maximize your potential, doing the best that you are capable of doing. Maslow studied individuals whom he believed to be self-actualized, including Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein, to derive the common characteristics of the self-actualized person.

# Self-sacrifice

Self-sacrifice is the giving up of one's own benefit for the good of others.

## Quotes

* Lord Goring: ...self-sacrifice is a thing that should be put down by law. It is so demoralising to the people for whom one sacrifices oneself. They always go to the bad.
** Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband, Act III
* Unquestionably society ought to be so organised as to render self-sacrifice superfluous, for as long as men exist who are ready and willing to make sacrifices, so long will egoists take advantage of these sacrifices.

# Self-harm

Self-harm (SH) or deliberate self-harm (DSH) includes self-injury (SI) and self-poisoning and is defined as the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue without suicidal intent.

## Sourced

* Break the bones and the body will heal. Break the spirit and the body will die.
** Anonymous proverb, in Dictionary of Proverbs (2005) by G. Kleiser, p. 31
* For the first time in months, I felt together. Sharp. In hurting myself, I had at last found a way to release the pressure.But it was more than that. I was now different. I felt different. I’d discovered a way to control my feelings. Just because self-mutilation wasn’t deemed an acceptable coping mechanism didn’t mean I was going to stop doing it.
** Victoria Leatham, Bloodletting: A Memoir of Secrets, Self-Harm, and Survival
* The day I’d first cut myself, a switch in my head had been flicked. Instead of feeling horror, I felt nothing, and although I no longer wanted to hurt myself, my episodes of self-harm still felt normal for me in a way. I’d sometimes forget it still shocked other people.
** ditto
* Cutting relieved the pressure and stood as some enduring demonstration of her emotion, some way to be in control of a body that could toss her about with seizures. It was borderline artistic to mark her body, chiaroscuro designs in blood. Dying is the last thing she would want, like any healthy organism. A little pain, a small invoked sting trailing her arm, brought her much closer to grounded when she could not keep her head from racing, her thoughts from consuming her with obsession. An ounce of liquid weight loss and she could go back to being herself again. Usually.
** Thomm Quackenbush, Danse Macabre
* Better to inflict pain on myself than to let other people do it.
** Tracy Thompson, The Beast: A Reckoning with Depression
# The Candlemaker (cartoon)

The Candlemaker is a 1957 Cathedral Films animated short film about a candlemaker and his son at Christmas time.

## Narrator

* Many years ago, before there were any automobiles and before we had electricity or even gas lighting and when people used horses if they wanted to go out for a ride and oil lamps and candles if they needed a light, there lived in a small country town, yes, a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick-maker. With just over a week to go before Christmas, the townspeople were busy indeed and none more so than the candlemaker and his young son, Tom.
* For in those days, quite small boys were expected to behave like grown men.
* For years now, every Saturday at 4:00, the candlemaker had been making the journey from his shop to the church across the square. Because God had been so good to him and blessed his home and his work, he showed his gratitude by giving his finest candles to shine up at the altar, as an offering to God.
* The family was up early next morning, for a busy week lay ahead. The candlemaker had to deliver quanitites of Christmas candles of all shapes and sizes to the outlying farms and villages.
* With his father away and his mother extra busy getting ready for Christmas, young Tom was in charge of the workshop, with the task of turning out many candles a day. And then there was the altar candle for the Christmas Eve service on Saturday.
* On that Christmas Eve long ago, the church was made beautiful by the loving work of loving hands, just as churches are today. Then and now, there was manger where boys and girls would bring the white Christmas offering for the children's home.
* Each member of the family had his own sad thoughts that night.
* Young Tom knew what his parents were thinking: that he had failed them, and that he had failed God.
* And so it was, many years ago, that the candlemaker's son learned the meaning of Christian stewardship, just as we must learn it today.

# The Californian Ideology

The Californian Ideology is a critique of "dotcom neoliberalism" by English media theorists Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron of the University of Westminster.

## Sourced

* Implacable in its certainties, the Californian Ideology offers a fatalistic vision of the natural and inevitable triumph of the hi-tech free market - a vision which is blind to racism, poverty and environmental degradation and which has no time to debate alternatives.
** "The Californian Ideology", Mute, (3), Autumn 1995.
* Yet, in understanding contemporary debates over the future of the Net, it is important to remember the contradictory nature of historical precedents glibly invoked by the Californian Ideology. Back in the early nineteenth century, the spread of the new industrial technologies freed no slaves. On the contrary, the invention of the cotton gin and mechanical spinning machines actually reinforced the archaic and brutal institutions of slavery in the Old South.
** "Hypermedia Freedom",Ctheory. 19 (1-2). 1996.
