# Bhavishya Purana

The Bhavishya Purana (Bhaviṣya Purāṇa) is one of the eighteen major works in the Purana genre of Hinduism, written in Sanskrit.
The text as it exists today is a composite of material ranging from medieval era to very recent.

## Quotes

* Then the king went along with Mahamada (Muhammad), the preceptor of mleccha-dharma, and his followers to the great god, Lord Shiva, situated in the desert.
** Bhavishya Puran: Prati Sarg: Part III:3,3 5-27
* Suta Goswami said: After hearing the king’s prayers, Lord Shiva said: O king Bhojaraja, you should go to the place called Mahakakshvara, that land is called Vahika and now is being contaminated by the mlecchas. In that terrible country there no longer exists dharma. There was a mystic demon named Tripura (Tripurasura), whom I have already burnt to ashes, he has come again by the order of Bali. He has no origin but he achieved a benediction from me. His name is Mahamada (Muhammad) and his deeds are like that of a ghost. Therefore, O king, you should not go to this land of the evil ghost. By my mercy your intelligence will be purified. Hearing this the king came back to his country and Mahamada (Muhammad) came with them to the bank of the river Sindhu. He was expert in expanding illusion, so he said to the king very pleasingly: O great king, your god has become my servant. Just see, as he eats my remnants, so I will show you. The king became surprised when he saw this just before them. Then in anger Kalidasa rebuked Mahamada (Muhammad) “O rascal, you have created an illusion to bewilder the king, I will kill you, you are the lowest..."
** Bhavishya Puran: Prati Sarg: Part III:3,3 5-27
* That city is known as their site of pilgrimage, a place which was Madina or free from intoxication. Having a form of a ghost (Bhuta), the expert illusionist Mahamada (Muhammad) appeared at night in front of king Bhojaraja and said: O king, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion by the order of the Lord . The symptoms of my followers will be that they first of all will cut their genitals, have no shikha, but having beard, be wicked, make noise loudly and eat everything. They should eat animals without performing any rituals. This is my opinion. They will perform purificatory act with the musala or a pestle as you purify your things with kusha. Therefore, they will be known as musalman, the corrupters of religion. Thus the demoniac religion will be founded by me. After having heard all this the king came back to his palace and that ghost (Muhammad) went back to his place. .... The musalman people were kept on the other side of the river Sindhu.
** Bhavishya Puran: Prati Sarg: Part III:3,3 5-27
* The Bhavisya Purana (139, 13-15) records, "contrary to the Vedic practices, your son will become famous by name of Mag. His name will be Jarathushtra Mag - and will bring fame to the dynasty. His descendents will worship fire and will be known by the name Mag (Saka), and being Soma worshippers (Magadha Sakadvipi) will be known as Mag Brahmins."
** as attributed, quoted in Professor Uma Erry Bhavan’s Journal, July 15, 1996

### The Socialist Manifesto (2019)

* It's obvious that things are changing. When I was in high school and told people I was a socialist, they looked at me as if I were crazy. When I tell people I'm a socialist today, they just nod and go about their day - not a hint of revulsion.
** Preface
* Any social democrat, no matter their intentions, will always find it easier to move to the right than to the left. ON one side lie guarantees of stability from powerful interests, on the other capital strikes and stubborn resistance.
** p.221

## Quotes
### Śatakatraya

* यां चिन्तयामि सततं मयि सा विरक्ता साप्यन्यमिच्छति जनं स जनोऽन्यसक्त:। अस्मत्कृते च परिशुष्यति काचिदन्या धिक्ताञ्च तं च मदनं च इमां च मां च ॥
** The maid my true heart loves would not my true love be; She seeks another man; another maid loves he; And me another maid her own true love would see: Oh, fie on her and him and Love and HER and me!
*** Nītiśataka 2
**** Variant translation from K.M. Joglekar: That woman about whom I constantly meditate has no affection for me; she, however, yearns after another who is attached to someone else; while a certain woman pines away for me. Fie on her, on him, on the God of Love, on that woman, and on myself.
* यदा किञ्चिज्ज्ञोऽहं द्विप इव मदान्ध: समभवम् तदा सर्वज्ञोऽस्मीत्यभवदवलिप्तं मम मन:। यदा किञ्चित्किञ्चिद्बुधजनसकाशादवगतं तदा मूर्खोऽस्मीति ज्वर इव मदो मे व्यपगत:॥
** When I knew but a little, I was blinded by pride as an elephant is blinded by rut from excitement, and my mind was puffed up with the idea that I knew everything. When, however, I gradually gained knowledge through the contact of the wise I found I was a fool; and the pride, which had possessed me like a fever, left me.
*** Nītiśataka 8; translation of K.M. Joglekar
* संपत्सु महतां चित्तं भवत्युत्पलकोमलं । आपत्सु च महाशैलशिलासंघातकर्कशम् ॥
** In opulence the heart of great men is as soft as that of a lotus flower, but in adversity the same hardens like a rock of a big mountain.
*** Nītiśataka 65
* श्रोतं श्रुतेनैव न कुण्डलेन दानेन पाणिर्न तु कङ्कणेन
** A person's ears get glorified by listening to scriptures and not by wearing ear-rings, hands are adorned by giving alms to the poor and not by wearing bracelets.
*** Nītiśataka 71
* The sun opens the lotuses; the moon illuminates the beds of water-lilies; the cloud pours forth its water unasked: even so the liberal of their own accord are occupied in benefiting others.
** Nītiśataka 73; B. Hale Wortham translation
* Those men are good who study the good of others without regarding themselves. Those men are ordinary men who, while they benefit others, do not neglect their own interests. Those men are demons who destroy another's good for their own profit. What shall we call those who aimlessly destroy that which is another's?
** Nītiśataka 74; translated by B. Hale Wortham
* आयुः परिस्रवति भिन्नघटादिवाम्भः
** Life is flowing away like water running out from a leaky vessel.
*** Vairagyaśatakam 38
# Bhishma

Bhishma (Devanāgari: भीष्‍म) is a major character in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, and is well-known for his pledge of celibacy. Bhishma was the disciple of Bhagavan Parashurama (one of the avatārs of Lord Vishnu).

## Quotes

* My oath is not for myself. My dharma is far beyond my own selfishness and more important than your life. Forgive me for what has happened if you can. You may remain here in our city for the rest of your life and your every comfort will be seen to. But as for marrying you, Amba, that I cannot do.
** Bhishma in: The Mahabharata: A Modern Rendering (2006), by Ramesh Menon, p. 31
* I will never have children. I am incapable of having children now. Does this satisfy you?
** Bhishma in: Mahabharat Ep7: Devavrata Becomes Bhishma (4 August 2015), by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. Retrieved 9 September 2017.
* "Bhishma said: That man who wishes to increase his own flesh by the meat of another living creature is such that there is none meaner and more cruel than he. In this world there is nothing that is dearer to a creature than his life. Hence, one should show mercy to the lives of others as he does to his own life. Forsooth, O son, flesh has its origin in the vital seed. There is great sin attached to its eating, as, indeed, there is merit in abstaining from it.
** Bhishma in: Mahabharata, Anu.116.11-13
* "Hence a person of purified soul should be merciful to all living creatures. That man, O king, who abstains from every kind of meat from his birth forsooth, acquires a large space in the celestial region. They who eat the flesh of animals who are desirous of life, are themselves [later] eaten by the animals they eat. This is my opinion. Since he has eaten me, I shall eat him in return. This, O Bharata, forms the character as Mamsah [meaning flesh] of Mamsah [me he, or "me he" will eat for having eaten him]. The destroyer is always slain. After him the eater meets with the same fate.
** Bhishma in: Mahabharata, Anu.116.32-35
* "Abstention from cruelty is the highest Religion. Abstention from cruelty is the greatest self-restraint. Abstention from cruelty is the highest gift. Abstention from cruelty is the highest penance. Abstention from cruelty is the highest sacrifice. Abstention from cruelty is the highest power. Abstention from cruelty is the greatest friend. Abstention from cruelty is the greatest happiness."
** Bhishma in Mahabharata, Anu.116.38-39

## Quotes about Bhishma

* They called him Bhishma, one who was terribly harsh on himself, without anyone forcing him to take such a step.
** Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev in: Mahabharat Ep7: Devavrata Becomes Bhishma
* Krishna was meditating, when Yudhishtra approached Him and asked Him of whom He was thinking. The Lord replied that He was thinking of Bhishma, the best of His devotees, and the one who was always thinking of Him. How great should a person be to have himself described in such glowing terms by the Lord Himself!

# Carmen Hermosillo

Carmen Hermosillo (died August 10, 2008), known by her screen name humdog, was a community manager/research analyst, essayist, and poet, best known for her 1994 essay "Pandora's Vox: On Community in Cyberspace", a widely cited critical account of virtual communities.

## Quotes

* It is fashionable to suggest that cyberspace is some kind of _island of the blessed_ where people are free to indulge and express their Individuality...this is not true....i have seen many people spill their guts on-line, and i did so myself until...i began to see that i had commodified myself. commodification means that you turn something into a product which has a money-value. in the nineteenth century, commodities were made in factories...by workers who were mostly exploited....i created my interior thoughts as a means of production for the corporation that owned the board i was posting to...and that commodity was being sold to other commodity/consumer entities as entertainment... [Cyberspace] is a black hole. It absorbs energy and personality and then re-presents it as an emotional spectacle.
** "Pandora's Vox", as cited in Curtis, Adam, 2011, All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, BBC.
* So-called electronic communities encourage participation in fragmented, mostly silent, micro-groups who are primarily engaged in dialogues of self-congratulation. In other words, most people lurk; and the ones that post are pleased with themselves.

# Carmen Rivera

## Quotes

* I've always been drawn to violence, control and issues of subjugation...I found that in times of overwhelming oppression, a metaphoric language evolves as a survival mechanism to communicate truth…
** On the inspiration for her play La Caida de Rafael Trujillo “An Interview with Carmen Rivera, Playwright and Author of LA CAIDA DE RAFAEL TRUJILLO” (Diana Diaz; 2014 Oct 9)
* …So much of western theater is founded on the search for reason and “why” things happen and Cándido/Guillermo taught me to look beyond the idea of the rational and explore the irrational in objectives and motivations… Life is irrational…
** On using fantastic realism in her works in “Carmen Rivera” (50 Playwrights Project; 2016 Sep 14)
* A play is an ever-changing dynamic theatrical experience. Every director, cast, design team, audience and reader bring new life to a piece of dramatic literature. A play is not a fixed expression, but a revelation in a particular moment in time.
** On her concept of plays in “Carmen Rivera” (The New School Drama)
* …We Latinos have a rich, dynamic and complex history full of narratives that are dimensional, intelligent, tragic, comedic, absurd, philosophical, violent and loving. There aren't enough stages for our stories. I’m humbled and honored that these have come into my life…

## Quotes

* Success for me will be where the body of work I’ve done afforded me the opportunity to be as good as I can be, and to explore myself and to see what I’m capable of. People like that share a willingness to be scared and to take chances.
* There’s a lot more opportunity to be a person of color, to be a woman, and to be at the center of the storytelling.
* you need to be able to step outside yourself, and you don’t necessarily need to have real-life experiences to draw upon.
* There’s a social attitude toward being fairly accepting of violence, and coupled with the access to guns, in some ways we’re already at a place where in certain communities, gun violence is already rife—and in some ways, because of policy, it’s kind of condoned from the top.
* Any good director, and I've worked with a few that I would call very good, they know how to disarm any anxieties very quickly.
* As an artist, there's so many categories that you're put into, that there are so many things that I'm about that I've never explored as an artist on film. I don't see myself in so many characters in film.
* Coming from the U.K., I can think of so many great songs and musical moments that didn't require a belter of a voice; my favorite singer is Kate Bush and she's not a belter, or PJ Harvey... I'm definitely more of an alternative girl.
* Great artists are the ones who have put their entire selves out there to be adored, humiliated, to be picked at, cherished, all of those things, and haven't shied away from that.
* Growing up in London, with a hippie mom, I don't know that I'm most people's definition of what a black person is. I'm mixed, yes, but in the world I'm defined as black before I'm defined white. I've never been called white.
* I can remember being very keen to go to drama school at the age of eight, and practising ballet in my bedroom to Queen soundtracks.
* One of the reasons I didn't ever pursue a career - in the music world if you're black or mixed, you need to be able to belt a song or else you're not a singer, you know?

## Quotes

* This was a story of a guy meeting a chick in a club. At that time, that was a cool saying. If you listen to the lyrics, 'She sits alone, waiting for suggestions, he's so nervous...' it's the feelings of what was going on in a dance club. The guy sees a chick he digs, she's nervous and he's nervous and she's alone and doesn't know what's going on, then they end up at his place, Fuck, and then she's gone.

## Quotes

* Fifty years ago for several days the body of Luisa Piccarreta passed throughout Corato. The testimony of this evening suggests that her name is still alive among you and I would like it to be alive even in the whole diocese, because it is a glory for Corato but it is also a glory of the diocese. I wish that all of us could start to fall in love with this figure, meditating a little of her life.

# Carmen Maria Machado

Carmen Maria Machado (born July 3, 1986) is an American short story author, essayist, and critic from Allentown, Pennsylvania.

## Quotes

* Lesbian relationships are the fantasy, the ideal — I would say that I think lesbians and queer women perpetrate that that idea. And I think it can be really harmful, because it doesn't permit space for a multitude of experiences, some of which can be bad — not because the relationship is a lesbian relationship, but because somebody in the relationship is not well.
** On how stereotypes about lesbian relationships ignore the reality of domestic abuse in “In The 'Dream House,' Carmen Maria Machado Recounts Nightmares” in NPR (2019 Nov 3)
* People like domestic violence narratives to be very clear cut, and I talk about in the book how on some level I really wished, I wish she had just punched me in the face, and I had this black eye, and I could be like, "Hey, she punched me. I had a black eye. You recognize that, right?" But it was a lot more subtle than that…
** On domestic violence narratives in “In The 'Dream House,' Carmen Maria Machado Recounts Nightmares” in NPR (2019 Nov 3)
* There’s something so dark and weird about what a cliché it is…And it makes art harder because it’s like how do I turn this thing that operates on cliché — its life blood is the cliché — and create something interesting from this incredibly dead thing? If you say it’s as hot as an oven, your brain skips over the phrase, it’s so worn. And that’s what makes cliché so dangerous. If you say it enough, you lose your ability to engage with it in any kind of critical capacity.
** On the term cliché in “Carmen Maria Machado’s New Memoir Fills In The Gray Areas Of Abuse” in BuzzFeed News (2019 Nov 1)
* Sometimes stories just need something to hold on to, and form is a way of doing that. Sometimes you’re looking at a story and you’re like, What comes next? But if I say I have to add an item to the list, another lover or an episode of SVU…it’s easier.
** On how she constructs stories in “Carmen Maria Machado’s New Memoir Fills In The Gray Areas Of Abuse” in BuzzFeed News (2019 Nov 1)
* ... I find writing nonfiction difficult; it feels like pulling teeth. It’s technically and logistically challenging and emotionally draining, and the whole time you have one hand behind your back. I admire folks who write good nonfiction so much, because I’ve seen firsthand how hard it is to make it work and work well.
** On the differences between writing fiction vs. nonfiction in "Carmen Maria Machado: How I Write" in The Writer (2020 Jul 6)
* I usually start from a concept, an idea, a form, a question, or a (sub)genre. Never a character or a setting. And I don’t write into nothing; I always have somewhere I’m directing my thoughts.
