# George Benson

George Washington Benson (born March 22, 1943) is a ten-time Grammy awards-winning American musician and singer-songwriter. He began his professional career at twenty-one, as a jazz guitarist.

## Quotes

* I spent a lot of time teaching myself theory and harmony so I could be free to express myself on the instrument. I learned what relatives and substitutes could be played against a root of a chord, like E minor related to G, and so forth. I've also gathered all this knowledge because for ten years all I've done is play jazz, every day.

# Art Blakey

We are here to have a ball. So we want you to leave your worldly troubles outside and come in here and swing.
** Statement on the album At the Jazz Corner of the World (Blue Note, 1959).
* [S]o go on and play, and if you make a mistake, make it loud so you won't make it next time.
** Statement on the album A Night in Tunisia.

# Martin Beck

Martin Beck (born 1962) is an American painter.

## About Martin Beck

* The elegant simplifications of the human form, picked out with Beck's layered color, is reminiscent of the 19th-century Munich school, a style conceived to ennoble the human form and the very atmosphere it walks through. Beck crosses this up with his ugly folks and perverse demi-narratives. It is just the unpredictability of beauty and disgust mixing that arrests the viewer -- and sometimes makes him or her mad as a wet hen.
** Bischoff, Dan (March 30, 2001). "Painter provokes with naked precision". The Sunday Star-Ledger.
* Mr. Beck says he once heard a visitor to one of his shows characterize the work as ‘Norman Rockwell gone bad.’ That sums up his territory: Mr. Beck seems determined to take America's pulse at the end of the century, and it races. Mr. Beck's sturdily built characters tend to smile a lot, but it's obvious that the smiles mask anxieties.
** Zimmer, William (Sunday, May 24, 1998). "Not Much in Common, Except Commitment to a Vision". The New York Times.
* This artist is not afraid to paint at the top of his lungs. Beck's handling of pigment is professional, but everywhere subordinated to the themes he's painting. Its chalky flatness works almost as if he's stressing the fact that his painting is no Frenchified thing, but real American art.
** Bischoff, Dan (March 29, 1998). "Three Jersey City Museum exhibitions mix media, messages". The Sunday Star-Ledger.
* Beck's complex figure compositions bring baroque spatial dynamics into the back yards of America. His individuals are either unhappily sexualized or awkwardly self aware, or both. They strain under the demands of pleasure, always terrified that they will reveal some forbidden part of their private psyches.
** Huntington, Richard (May 17, 1996). "Easy Pleasures". The Buffalo News, Gusto.

# Michael Keaton

Michael John Douglas (born September 5, 1951), better known by his stage name Michael Keaton, is an American actor, producer and director. He is currently a visiting scholar at Carnegie Mellon University.

## Quotes

* I'm gonna do four or five of these movies, and it's going to become my career. I'll have to keep expanding the bat suit, because I get fatter every year. I'll be bankrupt. I'll be out opening shopping malls, going from appearance to appearance in a cheesy van.
** Reported in Bill Zehme, "Michael Keaton's Batman", Rolling Stone (June 29, 1989).
* I probably could've done this earlier, if I was more ambitious.

# Gene Kelly

Gene Kelly (born Eugene Curran Kelly, August 23, 1912 – February 2, 1996) was an American dancer, actor, singer, director, producer, and choreographer.

## Quotes

* I really don't know why I clicked. I didn't want to be a dancer, I just did it to work my way through college. But I was always an athlete and gymnast, so it came naturally.
** Quoted in "Gene Kelly's Musical Memories" by Rex Reed, in The Chicago Tribune (November 29, 1970)
* In the 1930s, when I started, Martha Graham was the only dancer doing anything modern, but she did it all to classical music. I couldn't see myself doing Swan Lake every night, and I wanted to develop a truly American style. The only dancer in the movies at that time with any success was Fred Astaire, but he did very small, elegant steps in a top hat, white tie, and tails.
** Quoted in "Gene Kelly's Musical Memories"
* It's all true. It's true I didn't want to be a dancer. What I really wanted to be was a shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Then at 14 I discovered girls, and began to study dancing diligently. At that time dancing was the only way you could put your arm around the girl. Dancing was courtship. Only later did I discover you dance joy. You dance love. You dance dreams. Of course, the Pittsburgh Pirates lost a hell of a shortstop.
** Speaking on March 8, 1985 at the American Film Institute; as quoted in "Hollywood Honors Man Who `Danced Joy'" by Paul Rosenfield, in Los Angeles Times (March 9, 1985)
* Fred Astaire represented the aristocracy, I represented the proletariat.
** Quoted in Vaudeville Old and New, Frank Cullen, Florence Hackman, Donald McNeilly (2004)
# Tom Savini

Thomas Vincent Savini (November 3, 1946–) is an American actor, stuntman, director, and award-winning special make-up effects creator.

## Quotes

* I make sure that they photograph everything they do. And they have to have a portfolio to graduate. You know, there’s no formula for success out there, but what works is: learn how [to photograph], photograph everything you do and you put those photographs in front of people that can help hire you. That works.
* Love stories—yeah, there’s something about them. I cry when somebody does something good for somebody, not something horrible. I avoid all the horrible stuff. But to me, when a human being is sincerely generous, or kind or overly helpful to another human being, that’s when I tear up. I just love the idea of love.
** Interview: Tom Savini (August 13, 2013)
* I love CGI when it’s done well. It may sound strange coming from me, because if you watch my stuff in movies it’s happening right in front of you, but I wish we had CGI back then to solve some problems. Getting rid of an edge or enhancing stuff, which is what they have today. I love it when it’s done well.

## Quotes

** SHANE BLACK THINKS A MONSTER SQUAD SEQUEL “COULD BE FUN” (August 15 2016)
* It would be interesting to have two movies - one The Monster Squad, and one The Monster Squad and they're 30 years apart and so are the kids; the characters have aged. As long as people understood that's what we're doing, I think that could be fun. That's a good idea

* Under the definition of 'in behalf of,' it is not necessary that the criminal acts actually benefit the corporation. But an agent's acts are not 'in behalf of' a corporation if they were undertaken solely to advance the agents own interest. Put another way, if the agent’s acts were taken merely for personal gain, they were not ‘in behalf of’ the corporation.”

# The Animatrix

The Animatrix is a 2003 direct-to-video anthology film based on The Matrix trilogy produced by The Wachowskis, who wrote and directed the trilogy. The film is a compilation of nine animated short films, including four written by the Wachowskis. It details the backstory of the Matrix universe, and the original war between man and machines which led to the creation of the Matrix. It was followed by 2021 sequel The Matrix Resurrections.

## The Second Renaissance Part 1 & 2

    Written by the Wachowskis, directed by Mahiro Maeda.
Zion Archive Computer: In the beginning, there was man. And for a time, it was good. But humanity's so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption. Then man made the machine in his own likeness. Thus did man become the architect of his own demise. Zero One Ambassador: Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh, and a new world awaits you. We demand it.

## Kid's Story

    Written by the Wachowskis, directed by Shinichiro Watanabe.
Kid: Somebody tell me. Why does it feel more real when I dream than when I am awake? How can I know if my senses are lying?
Neo: There is some fiction in your truth, and some truth in your fiction. To know the truth, you must risk everything.

## Program

    Written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri.
Duo: Maybe you regret taking the red pill.

## Beyond

    Directed by Koji Morimoto.
Manabu: You know, you're not supposed to go in there... but we don't really care about that.

Trinity: There's a difference between a test and a choice. For what it's worth, I think you could've handled the truth.

## Matriculated

    Written and directed by Peter Chung.
* [Nonaka and Alexa talk of converting an intelligent machine to help them] Alexa: Will it...? Do you think it will convert? Nonaka: To convert is its choice to make. Alexa: Do you think we ought to reprogram it? Nonaka: No. We can't make slaves of them. Alexa: Because that would be simpler. Nonaka: We won't beat the machines by making them our slaves. Better to let them join us by choice. Alexa: Make them believe the right choice is the one we want. Nonaka: All right. Yes, machines are tools. They're made to be used. It's their nature. Alexa: To be slaves. Nonaka: That's why we show them a better world, why they convert. Alexa: But that world we show them isn't real. Nonaka: It doesn't matter. Alexa: I'm afraid they'll figure out that we've made up the thing in our heads. Nonaka: They can't tell the difference. To an artificial mind, all reality is virtual. How do they know that the real world isn't just another simulation? How do you? Alexa: I know I' m not dreaming now because I know what its like being in a dream. Nonaka: So dreaming lets you know that reality exists? Alexa: No. Just that my mind exists. I don't know about the rest. [Allusion to Cogito, ergo sum.]

# Meriem Belmihoub-Zerdani

Meriem Belmihoub-Zerdani (1 April 1935 - 27 July 2021) was an Algerian independence fighter, lawyer and feminist.

## Quotes

* Women's emancipation cannot be discussed in terms of the veil and customs; instead, we must provide them jobs.
** Meriem Belmihoub-Zerdani responds to the daily newspaper's query, "Is there a problem with Algerian women?"
* Fifty years after independence, it is disheartening to observe that women veterans remain underrepresented in this office. We stood shoulder to shoulder with men in the maquis, fighting with the same vigor and commitment. Now, we seek our rightful share, as guaranteed by the Constitution, which upholds gender equality. It is our plea that the sacrifices made by women veterans be acknowledged and represented accordingly. The struggle for equality was not limited to the battlefield, and it should reflect in the recognition of our contributions today.
** In a 2012 speech, Meriem Belmihoub-Zerdani voiced her objection to the exclusion of women veterans from the National War Veterans' Organisation (ONM)
