## Quotes

* As those of us know who have taken part in battle, it is one thing to manoeuvre freely when secure in the knowledge that the man behind the gun is doing his best to miss us, but it is quite another thing when that same man is doing his utmost to liquidate you.
** Comment to his staff officers, on the crucial distinction between intensive battle training and actual battle (19 May 1943), quoted in History of COSSAC (May 1944) by Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force
* Sound opinion is not the exclusive prerogative of those who are paid to give it.
** Overture to Overlord (1950), p. 51
* I had won notable victories on paper and the map with the aid of greaseproof pencils and a typewriter. In the course of this very campaign, if one may dignify the disaster thus, I had seen French generals create imaginary "masses of manoeuvre" with strokes of the crayon and dispose of hostile concentrations, that unahappily were on the ground as well as on the map, with sweeps of the eraser. Who was I to criticise them, hero as I was of a hundred "Chinagraph wars" of make-believe?

## Quotess

* I shall not return to Constantinople until I have conquered Egypt!
** Quoted in "On Secret Service East of Constantinople" - Page 77 - by Peter Hopkirk - History - 2001.
* In the program of the Turkish government, nothing is said of a Turkification of the Arabs. I have never intended anything like that nor even thought of it. Our sole purpose is to strengthen the feeling of fraternity between the Ottoman-Turkish and the Ottoman-Arab elements and to make the latter understand that the national interests of the Arabs are identical to those of the Turks and that any harm to one of them necessarily means harm to the other. The Ottoman-Turkish and the Ottoman-Arab elements have to rally to the caliphate without afterthoughts if they want to survive.
** Quoted in "The Syrian Land: Processes of Integration and Fragmentation" – by Thomas Philipp, Birgit Schäbler – 1998 – Page 321.
* With us it is not a question of Bolshevism or democracy, but of life or death. A decision in favor of a Soviet could not be opposed by the Young Turks.
** Quoted in "Djemal Pasha In Moscow" - New York Times - June 17, 1920.
* Our sole aim was, by virtue of this war, to rid ourselves of the lot of them, however many international decisions there were. Each one represented a blow to our...independence...And, just as it was our dearly held goal to lift the Capitulations and the Mt. Lebanon concessions, we also desired to destroy the signed understanding concerning the reforms in Eastern Anatolia...
** Quoted in "A Shameful Act: The Armenian Genocide and the Question of Turkish Responsibility" - by Taner Akçam, Paul Bessemer - History - 2006 - Page 118.
* There is nothing in the world that could make me turn from the law. With a clear conscience, I am prepared to answer for each and every one of my political and administrative orders and actions, and to do so before the court of public opinion...

** Quoted in New York Times obituary
* The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
** Indirect quote on The National (CBC TV), Aug. 13
* I don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make. … Maybe the cat has fallen into the stew, or the lettuce has frozen, or the cake has collapsed—eh bien, tant pis! Usually one's cooking is better than one thinks it is. And if the food is truly vile … then the cook must simply grit her teeth and bear it with a smile—and learn from her mistakes.
** My Life In France: Le Cordon Bleu, p. 71
* My, I get so depressed after a poor meal; that's why I can never stay in England for more than a week.

We are looking to make insurance easily accessible to everyone on the continent, and we will continually be unveiling more products that confirm this resolve.
** "How insurtech startup Lami raised $3.7 million to make insurance accessible to Africans",
* “My perspective on life and the impact I wanted my life to have on the world. I worked in a job where making money was the dominant motivation. For me, that didn’t seem like enough, and it’s also not what I wanted to stand for as a human being.
* “A lot of the time, people are relying on single sources of income, but they’re not insuring those sources of income so, if one thing goes wrong, they lose everything,”

* “How can we get insurance to as many people as possible, in the simplest and the easiest way? That’s the main vision for us—is really to create accessibility.”
Abass's work has been recognized for addressing critical gaps in insurance accessibility across Africa. By leveraging technology. She has simplified the process of obtaining insurance making it more inclusive for underserved populations. Her efforts are particularly significant in regions where insurance penetration is traditionally low.

## Quotes

* Why does a racist society end up producing, validating, and recirculating racist science, for instance? I don’t think it’s adequate to say that racists create a well-packaged lie that none of them actually believe and put it into circulation to preserve existing hierarchies. I think racist ideas are genuinely believed by racists, even when they verge into absurdity.
* The liberal fantasy of a rational public sphere—in which people are always and everywhere persuaded by better arguments, more evidence, more facts—is a myth; but it’s also a mistake to think that someone who isn’t persuaded by new information is fundamentally immune to facts.
* When you change how somebody feels, you’re changing how they think. And when you change how they think, you’re changing how they feel. That, in essence, is persuasion.
# Coupling constant

In a gauge theory in quantum field theory, a coupling constant (coupling or gauge coupling constant) is a number representing the strength of a force involved in a physical interaction. The fine-structure constant is perhaps the most important coupling constant in physics. In nuclear chemistry and nuclear physics, J-coupling measures, directly in hertz (Hz), the strength of interaction between adjacent atoms.

## Quotes

* That the pion-nucleon (πN) coupling constant is fundamental in our understanding of the Cosmos has been adequately emphasised in numerous works. In meson-exchange models of the strong interaction, a significantly weaker coupling between the pions and the nucleons would have prevented the neutrons from combining fast with protons in the early Universe; they would have decayed before they had any chance to be enmeshed first in deuterons, then in other light nuclei. According to the Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis, within half an hour of the Big Bang, all existing matter had assumed the form of free electrons, protons, and helium nuclei (as well as traces of other nuclei up to $^7$Be). On the contrary, a significantly stronger coupling would have resulted in the rapid creation of bound diprotons and would have led to a helium-dominated Universe. It is hard to imagine how life could emerge in such a Universe: typical stars burn hydrogen to helium for about 90 % of their lives.
** Evangelos Matsinos, "A brief history of the pion-nucleon coupling constant". arXiv:1901.01204v2 [nucl-th]. DOI:10.48550/arXiv.1901.01204. (quote from pp. 1–2)
* ... Roughly speaking, in renormalizable theories no coupling constants can have the dimensions of negative powers of mass. But every time we add a field or a space-time derivative to an interaction, we reduce the dimensionality of the associated coupling constant. So only a few simple types of interaction can be renormalizable. ...

## Quotes

* The vacua with positive cosmological constant trap the universe in eternal inflation. They decay only locally, by producing bubbles of new vacua. Thus, every vacuum in the landscape will be realized an infinite number of times in different, causally disconnected regions. Each bubble expands to become an infinite open universe embedded in the global spacetime.
** "Holographic probabilities in eternal inflation." Physical review letters 97, no. 19 (2006): 191302. arXiv preprint
* There are 10$^{500}$ or more metastable vacua, which can be thought of as local minima in a huge, multidimensional potential landscape. They differ not only in the value of their vacuum energy, but in their entire low-energy effective field theory, which is determined by local properties near the foot of a valley and thus only very indirectly by the fundamental building blocks of the landscape. Different vacua will have different matter content, coupling constants, and forces. We will not predict the standard model uniquely. We will have to predict many of the features of our universe statistically, from their relative abundance in the landscape.

* I can dispel the clouds, drain the sea, or cure someone hopelessly ill. But to change the mind of a fool is beyond me.
* I trapped my breath in the bellows of my throat, and a lamp blazed up inside, showing me who I really was. I crossed the darkness holding fast to that lamp.
* I didn't believe in it for a moment but I gulped down the wine of my own voice. And then I wrestled with the darkness inside me, knocked it down, clawed at it, ripped it to shreds.

* Public Art has a very different job to do than that of gallery pieces. They need to be acceptable to the wider community, often designed through public consultation, and they need to have a sense of place- ie ‘belong’ in some way to the space they occupy and the community that uses othat place, be it a school, a main round-about or a public open space. I have often been asked to produce artworks that recognise or commemorate iconic people or significant occasions. This is always a special duty and a privilege.
