## Sourced

* A man who becomes used to deluding himself, who fails to face his own faults with revolutionary honesty and even lies to himself, is the most likely to become a traitor, since lying is the beginning of treachery.
** Torture and Resistance in Iran, 1971
* The thought that I had been captured so soon, without having done anything for the revolution, made me feel ashamed. I thought: at least now, I must carry out my duty well under torture.
** Torture and Resistance in Iran, 1971
* For a while longer you may be able to carry on with your plundering and murderous crimes, but you will not escape your ultimate fate. We shall exhaust and then destroy you in a difficult and prolonged battle. When one of us falls, there are tens of others who will rise. Our death is no ordinary death and our life no ordinary life.
** Torture and Resistance in Iran, 1971
* Your defeat is not only a reality, which has been historically proven time and again. It can also be seen in your helplessness and your inability to suppress the movement, in your desperate conduct when faced with our guerrillas and the vanguard of the people.

## Quotes

* Trustees must “provide a full, public, accounting of whatever policies or pressures brought about the circumstances that forced Pratap Bhanu Mehta’s resignation … My Respect for Ashoka University Has Been Seriously Tested … I gave the first of the Ashoka ‘Crossover’ Series lecture unveiling the university to the public later that year; I offered the commencement address at the 2018 Ashoka convocation; I donated to its library my own and my late wife’s entire collections of books in 2019. And I have known Professor Mehta for almost 30 years and have learned from him for 30 years.” ... If this is not done, and done soon, he said, “the stain on the university will be indelible, and the support of its most fervent admirers permanently lost.”

## Sourced

* There have been applied sciences throughout the ages. … However this so-called practice was not much more than paper in nearly all of these cases, and the various applied sciences were only lacking a bagatelle, namely proper scientific practice. The applied sciences show the application of theoretic doctrines in existing events; but that is precisely what it does, it merely shows. Whereas the scientific practice autonomously puts to use these theories.

* I have always advocated that a woman had as much sense as a man, or she would not have been called to be his help-meet and companion. A question: What man wants to spend his days with a woman fool? I think she is in as much danger of spending her days with a fool as he is. I opened wide the doors of my first school for ladies. Another and a much greater reason I will offer and emphasize. Why not elevate our sister’s mentality, qualify her to fill all places of trust and honor, place her hand and head with the skilled arts. I know no reason she should not study anatomy, physiology, chemistry and all the machinery and laws of life… I will say by way of encouragement that all ladies who have graduated from this school and gone out in the world, have done well financially, and are made the guests of the best society in the land. They are well received and honored as ladies, and well paid for their skill. Places are open and ready for all that have a diploma from this school. And for the first time I will say, come on and qualify yourselves to take your places of usefulness. Do your part well, and a feast awaits you.

## Quotes

* If a given proto-language was spoken in an area outside that of its daughter languages, specific words designating features of the ancient habitat are not usually preserved in the attested languages. Therefore, if a language ancestral to a group of European languages originated in Africa, we would not be able to find in the extant lexical stock ancient words for "giraffe" and "elephant" which could suggest its African origin. (Dolgopolsky 1987, 8)

* Mallory's dating, which presupposes that Proto-Anatolian, Proto-Indo-Iranian, Greek and other descendant languages could have diverged from each other for a mere 2000 years, is absolutely inconceivable.

* Dolgopolsky, believes the terms for material culture commonly used to date Proto- Indo-European, such as copper, horse, and wheeled vehicles, cannot be reconstructed in the Anatolian languages and therefore belong to a later, post-Hittite Indo-European and not Proto-Indo-European. Proto-Indo-European, accordingly, did not know all these items, since it was much earlier. He reiterates the arguments outlined previously, suggesting that the horse known to the Proto-Indo-European's was not the domesticated but the wild variety, and claims that the word *ayes did not originally refer to copper but to metal in general, and it may then later have been transferred to copper in some countries when this metal entered common usage: "Hence none of these words can serve as evidence for dating Proto-IE".

# Ahilyabai Holkar

Ahilya Bai Holkar (31 May 1725 – 13 August 1795) was the hereditary noble queen of the Maratha Empire, in early-modern India. She established Maheshwar (in Madhya Pradesh) as the seat of Holkar Dynasty.

## Quotes

* This great ruler in Indore encouraged all within her realm to do their best, merchants produced their finest clothes, trade flourished, the farmers were at peace and oppression ceased, for each case that came to the queen’s notice was dealt with severely. She loved to see her people prosper, and to watch the fine cities grow, and to watch that her subjects were not afraid to display their wealth, lest the ruler should snatch it from them. Far and wide the roads were planted with shady trees, and wells were made, and rest-houses for travellers. The poor, the homeless, the orphaned were all helped according to their needs. The Bhils who had long been the torment of all caravans were routed from their mountain fastnesses and persuaded to settle down as honest farmers. Hindu and Musalman alike revered the famous Queen and prayed for her long life. Her last great sorrow was when her daughter became a Sati upon the death of Yashwantrao Phanse. Ahalya Bai was seventy years old when her long and splendid life closed. Indore long mourned its noble Queen, happy had been her reign, and her memory is cherished with deep reverence unto this day.

# Austin Powers (film series)

The Austin Powers series is the name of a comedy film series from New Line Cinema released from 1997 to 2002 directed by Jay Roach, produced, written by and starring Mike Myers as both the title character and the main antagonist, Dr. Evil.
The series spoofs primarily the James Bond, Derek Flint, Harry Palmer, and Matt Helm franchises, and incorporates a myriad of other elements of popular culture as it follows a British spy's quest to bring his nemesis to justice. The films poke fun at the outrageous plots, rampant sexual innuendo, and one-dimensional stock characters characteristically associated with 1960s spy films, as well as the cliché of the ultra-suave male superspy. Contrary to the handsome, super-smooth leading men of the James Bond genre, Austin Powers is not conventionally attractive (he is especially known for his bad teeth), although female characters in the films seem to find him irresistible.

## Quotes
### Andrew Wakefield: autism inc

Quoted in The Guardian by Alex Hannaford (6 April 2013) Available Online
* In America we've spent over a billion dollars on autism research. What have we got for that? We've not seen anything that's appreciably impacted the quality of life of autistic people, regardless of their place on the spectrum. Quite frankly, we've spent $1bn figuring out how to make mice autistic and we'll spend another $1bn figuring out how to make them not autistic. And that's not what the average person wakes up in the morning aspiring to. They think: am I going to be able to find a job, to communicate, to live independently, either on my own or with support? Those are the real priorities.

### Could a gene test change autism?

Quoted in Newsweek by Claudia Kalb (15 May 2009) Available Online
* There's a misperception that autism is some thief in the night that takes a normal child and places an autistic child in its place. That's not true.
* You come out of a meeting and you've put on a mask, which involves looking people in the eye, using certain mannerisms, certain phrases. Even if you learn to do it in a very seamless sort of way, you're still putting on an act. It's a very ex-hausting act.

### Just Asking: Ari Ne’eman, co-founder of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network

Quoted in the Washington Post by Joe Heim (13 March 2015) Available Online
* If research is society’s investment in its future, our society does not prioritize the future of autistic people.

### CBC Canada intervew

Quoted by CBC News (26 October 2009) Available Online
* Autism is a disability insofar as we’re disabled by society. A society that is often very hostile to our ways of communicating, to our ways of being that often is structured in such a way that makes it difficult for us to access places of public accommodation and services and countless other things. It creates an education system where autistic people are often abused and do not have our communication and other needs met.

### The Autism Rights Movement

Quoted in the New York Magazine by Andrew Solomon (25 May 2008) Available Online
* I like to say that neurotypical social interaction is a second language. It’s not as if we can’t learn it. It’s just that it doesn’t necessarily come easily to us.
