## Quotes

* I need your help. The abstruse nature of the subject requires not only concentrated reading, not alone clear understanding, but co-operation with the author. For that which could easily be made comprehensible by personal contact and demonstration, must of necessity depend on mere words and intellectual concepts. Many of the questions that may arise in your mind during or after reading of each chapter can best be answered through the practical application of the exercises prescribed herein. Unfortunately, there is no other way to co-operate: the technique of acting can never be properly understood without practicing it.

# Michael Charles Barber

Michael Charles Barber (July 13, 1954 –) is an American prelate of the Catholic Church who serves as the bishop of the Diocese of Oakland.

## Quotes

* People vote more now with their feet than they do with their geography. I tell the seminarians that people want intelligent priests; they want educated priests — priests who know what’s going on in politics, government and culture — so they can comment intelligently from the pulpit when interpreting the Gospel.
** Chaplain brings lessons from boardroom... (1 May 2009) Legatus
* We're the new mission lands. So I wanted to talk to the students at your graduation about being local missionaries, reaching out here. This is more challenging. There's more unbelief, more "nones," and more hostility to our faith. It's right here in our backyard.

## Quotes

* I became a vegetarian 3 years ago. … The best thing about being a vegetarian for me is, number one is I know I'm not harming any animals. … The number two thing is increased strength. I'm a lot stronger than I was when I was eating meat. … Most of your most powerful animals in the wild are vegetarian, so I'm trying to get my strength to that level. I don't know if I'll make it or not, but elephants are vegetarians. They're pretty big, so...

## Quotes

* I googled this guy, Roger Stone, because he looks like he pays black guys to bang his wife, And I found out in 1996 he was forced to resign from Bob Dole’s campaign for asking black guys to bang his wife. Not kidding! Look it up!
** 27 January 2019
*** Roger Stone resigned in response to a National Enquirer controversy about a "swingers" advertisement, however it did not specify anything about race, so this claim is unsubstantiated

## About

* Che’s outside perspective jokes are always at least designed to toss obstacles in the way of conventional wisdom, so him telling Americans excited about Stone’s arrest to calm down because Trump is “one tweet away from declaring a state of emergency and bringing back slavery” had punching power. Him noting how reports of “the White House” denying Trump’s involvement with the increasingly obvious conspiracy to conspire with Russia to gain said address is akin to Che claiming “I’m innocent, just ask my apartment” is a fine joke, too. Plus, seeding in the detail that Roger Stone once got fired from the Bob Dole presidential campaign for putting out swingers ads for black men to have sex with his wife into a setup about Roger Stone doing that was a crisp little reminder that the Trump administration remains beyond the reach of hyperbolical satire.

# Michael Collins (astronaut)

Michael Collins (31 October 1930 – 28 April 2021) was an American astronaut who flew the Apollo 11 command module Columbia around the Moon in 1969 while his crewmates, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made the first crewed landing on the surface. He was also a test pilot and major general in the U.S. Air Force Reserves.

## Quotes

* I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of, let's say 100,000 miles, their outlook would be fundamentally changed. The all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument suddenly silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified facade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treatment. The earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or communist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied. I am not a naïve man. I don’t believe that a glance from 100,000 miles would cause a Prime Minister to scurry back to his parliament with a disarmament plan, but I do think it would plant a seed that ultimately could grow into such concrete action.
** Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey (1974), p. 470
* I am certain, if everyone could see the Earth floating just outside their windows, every day would be #EarthDay There are few things more fragile or more beautiful than Earth, let’s work together today and everyday to protect our home.

## Quotes
### November 2023

* I think you've got to embrace it. The crowd's obviously going to be very one-sided but it's also in sport there's nothing more satisfying than hearing a big crowd go silent and that's the aim for us tomorrow.
** As quoted in 18 November - Ahmedabad - Australia Captain Pat Cummins pre-match press conference, November 2023

# Pat Farenga

Patrick Farenga (born in New York) is a leading contemporary advocate of the modern homeschooling movement. He worked closely with John Holt, one of the most renowned founders of both the modern homeschooling and unschooling movement and assisted in the publication of Growing Without Schooling magazine (GWS) from 1985 until its terminus in 2001.

## Quotes
### How to Get an Education at Home (1991)

    ["The Exhausted School" Presented by Patrick Farenga at Carnegie Hall, New York City, on October 25, 1991]
* Homeschooling works because schooling is not the same thing as education. School is not the only place to learn, to grow up. Universities and colleges recognize this fact whenever they admit homeschoolers who have never attended school.
* Homeschooling is not a panacea to all our educational problems, but it is part of the answer. It is a proven option for any of you who wish to try it.

### A Brief History of Homeschooling (2002)

    "A Brief History of Homeschooling" (2002), Homeschool Base
* "Homeschooling is radical, in the root sense of the word: in Latin, radicus means root. Compulsory schooling (forced attendance), and now, in the twenty-first century, compulsory education (forced learning) are very recent petals and offshoots of the root way humankind has historically nurtured its young into responsible adults and active citizens. Family, community, religious institutions, and work were all integrated into the daily lives and upbringing of children... The concept of universal compulsory schooling is a very recent idea, one that is not even two hundred years old, yet we act as if it is an ancient, sure-fire way to make sure our children 'learn something.' "

### On Unschooling, Parenting, and Video Addiction (2011)

    "On Unschooling, Parenting, and Video Addiction" (March 14, 2011), JOHN HOLT GWS
* "Unschooling is first and foremost an educational approach. Unschooling was not created by Holt, nor propagated by my colleagues and me since Holt’s death in 1985, to be an ideological parenting method, though I think unschooling certainly informs one’s parenting. Just as we trust children to discover and learn things in their own way, so, too, can parents be trusted to figure out how unschooling will work in their family and adapt it to their relationships with each of their children."

# Pat Carroll (actress)

Patricia Ann Carroll (5 May 1927 – 30 July 2022) was an American actress, voice actress and comedian.

## Quotes
### "Pat Carroll; Gertrude Stein was never a bore" (January 8, 1981)

Pat Carroll; Gertrude Stein was never a bore (January 8, 1981)
* The best part about acting is reacting. Audiences don't know that they mustn't sit back and observe and say, "I will watch this." Whether it's my play or anybody's play, they must become participants. Too many people today are observing life instead of participating in it.
* They call me the Joan of Arc in the family, and they're always saying, 'Mother's off on another one of her things. She's off fighting the world. She's off tilting at her windmills. But once they came to see the play, I think they understood what all those months [of study and rehearsal] had been about. I sat down with them at one point and told them I'd never finished anything in my life, although I'd started an awful lot of things. I said whether the play was a success or a failure didn't make any difference. What was important was that I finished it, because that element of not finishing projects is a failure in my character. And I think they understood that.
* I just want to keep working and being enthusiastic and having dreams and working hard to make those dreams come true, anything else is boredom.
# Pat Hitchcock

## Quotes

* I was brought up rather as an English child, so I knew what was expected, and I pretty much always did it. You didn't speak unless spoken to, but it didn't bother me, or have any repercussions. I didn't know anything else.
** At Home With Hitchcock (October 7, 1984)
