## Quotes

* My rest as a Black woman in America suffering from generational exhaustion and racial trauma always was a political refusal and social justice uprising within my body.
** excerpt from Rest is anything that connects your mind and body
* This is about more than naps. It is not about fluffy pillows, expensive sheets, silk sleep masks or any other external, frivolous, consumerist gimmick. It is about a deep unraveling from white supremacy and capitalism. These two systems are violent and evil. History tells us this and our present living shows this. Rest pushes back back and disrupts a system that views human bodies as a tool for production and labor. It is a counter narrative. We know that we are not machines. We are divine.
** excerpt from Rest is anything that connects your mind and body
* There’s a stigma around caring for yourself. Unless it’s attached to capitalism, then it’s okay. You can pay $200 for a facial, and then you’re taking care of yourself. But if you’re caring for yourself with something as deep as sleep, which is one of our most ancient and primal needs, if you’re doing that in public, caring for your body, that’s shameful. I tie that back to capitalism and to white supremacy and these notions around not seeing humans as divine and not seeing our bodies as belonging to us.

## Dialogue

    Teresa Alvarez: Caviar? Aren't you overdoing it a bit, Hank?
    Hank Scott: Well, I've got to make an impression on you in 48 hours that'll last for two months. What's the matter, don't you like caviar?
    Teresa Alvarez: Oh, I love it, but, I must say, I could never understand why it's so expensive!
    Hank Scott: Well, it's a whole year's work for a sturgeon.
    Hank Scott: One question, doctor...
    Dr. Velazco: I hope I can answer it.
    Hank Scott: Well, the alcohol, the distilled water, the salt solution - I can understand that, but what's the tequila for?
    Dr. Velazco: Well, in your country I believe they call it a coffee break.
    Hank Scott: [after watching two scorpions fight] That's how they kill each other - that weak spot in the throat!
    Artur Ramos: It must be it!

# Statolatry

Statolatry is idolatry of the state.

## Quotes

* Whereas some ascetics and Brahmins ... remain addicted to such things as running errands and messages, such as for kings, ministers, nobles, Brahmins, householders and young men who say, "Go here, go there! Take this there, bring that from there," the ascetic Gotama refrains from such errand-running.
** Gautama Buddha, Long Discourses of the Buddha, § 1.19
* The biblical view is not just apolitical but antipolitical in the sense that it refuses to confer any value on political power, or in the sense that it regards political power as idolatrous.
** Jacques Ellul, The Subversion of Christianity (1984)
* προσεκύνησαν τῷ θηρίῳ λέγοντες Τίς ὅμοιος τῷ θηρίῳ, καὶ τίς δύναται πολεμῆσαι μετ’ αὐτοῦ;
** They worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
** John of Patmos, Revelation 13:4 ESV
* Statists tend to treat governmental edicts as though they were incantations, passing directly from decree to result, without the inconvenience of means; since in the real world the chief means employed by government is violence, threatened and actual, cloaking state decrees and their violent implementation in the garb of incantation disguises both the immorality and the inefficiency of statism by ignoring the messy path from decree to result. ... The violence of the state, to be justified, must be transubstantiated in its essence into peaceful incantation, yet at the same time, to be effective, it must retain the external accidents of violence.
** Roderick Long, "Equality: the Unknown Ideal" (2001)
* The real sin of idolatry is always committed on behalf of something similar to the State.
** Simone Weil, Prelude to Politics (1943), p. 199

# Statue of Unity

The Statue of Unity is a colossal statue of Indian statesman and independence activist Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first Deputy Prime Minister and Home minister of independent India and the chief adherent of Mahatma Gandhi during the non-violent Indian Independence movement.

## Quotes

** Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during inauguration of Statue Of Unity.
* Statue of Unity meets up almost all accessibility requirements. Features such as conveyor belt, lifts with Braille button, spacious corridors, directional signages, wheel-chair facilities and accessible drinking water and toilets in the Statue of Unity are novel features that need to be replicated universally.

* Statue of Unity has put Kevadiya in the global map, making it the most touted destination of the future. The monument has attracted global media attention which has helped to spread the word internationally. Since the Statue of Unity has become a global iconic memorial, the monument’s popularity will attract a global audience to the destination. We are also ready with attractive packages for travellers that will offer a unique experience at our Tent City Narmada, which is luxurious and encircled with the natures beauty.”

# Statue of Zeus at Olympia

Statue of Zeus at Olympia was a large seated figure, about 12.4 m (41 ft) tall, made by the Hellenic sculptor Phidias around 435 B.C.E. at the sanctuary of Olympia, in Greece, and erected in the Temple of Zeus there.

## Quote:

* But the most notable of all was an ivory statue of Jupiter, the work of Phidias, son of the Athenian Charmides, of such greatness that although the temple is very high, nevertheless it seems to exceed the right proportion: for the artist he sat down; and yet it almost touches the roof with its head: so we then see that if it were to stand up it would uncover the temple. And some described the size of that statue, among others Callimachus in iambic verses. The painter Panenos, his nephew, cooperated greatly with Phidias in that work, to whom he was assigned together with Phidias, and embellished the statue with the ornamentation of colours, and mainly in the part of the drapery. (Strabo)

# Yan'an Rectification Movement

The Yan'an Rectification Movement (simplified Chinese: 延安整风运动; traditional Chinese: 延安整風運動; pinyin: Yán'ān Zhěngfēng Yùndòng) was a political mass movement led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1942 to 1945. The movement took place in the Yan'an Soviet, a revolutionary base area centered on the remote city of Yan'an. Although it was during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the CCP was experiencing a time of relative peace when they could focus on internal affairs.

## Quotes

* [The] Yan’an [Soviet] is [a] synonym of crushing dissent, real or invented, by torturing and killing. As [Communist Party member] Cai Qi reminded the audience at the April 28 [2024] symposium, the Yan’an Rectification Campaign was plotted by Mao, but its main organizer was Ren Bishi.

### "On China's State-Sponsored Amnesia"

    Yan Lianke, "On China's State-Sponsored Amnesia", The New York Times, op-ed, 1 April 2013.
* In March 2012 I met Torbjorn Loden, the Swedish professor of Chinese language and culture, in Hong Kong. He told me that while briefly teaching at Hong Kong's City University he asked the 40 students from China in his class what they knew about the June 4 Incident, the pro-democracy movement that ended in bloodshed in 1989, and if they were familiar with the names Liu Binyan and Fang Lizhi, two prominent democracy advocates of that era. All the students from China looked around at one another, mute and puzzled. That reminded me of something another teacher told me. She had asked her students from China if they had heard about the death by starvation of 30 to 40 million people during the so-called "three years of natural disasters" in the early 1960s. Her students responded with stunned silence, as if she, a teacher in Hong Kong, was brazenly fabricating history to attack their mother country.
* I used to assume history and memory would always triumph over temporary aberrations and return to their rightful place. It now appears the opposite is true.
* Anything negative about the country or the regime will be rapidly erased from the collective memory. This memory deletion is being carried out by censoring newspapers, magazines, television news, the Internet and anything that preserves memories.
* Yet, just as in any kindergarten, there are always a few naughty children who don't like to be told what to do. There are always some people who refuse to be administered amnesia. They are always trying to speak in their own words, always spreading their creative wings to fly beyond the boundaries of official memory. Following their conscience, they are willing to fly anywhere, into the past, the present or the future, in order to produce works that can pass our memories onto younger generations.

# William T. Stearn

Professor William Thomas Stearn (16 April 1911 – 8 May 2001) was a British botanist and horticulturalist known for being self-educated and for his prolific publication history, nearly 500 in all. He was employed at the Lindley Library of the Royal Horticultural Society, and later at the Natural History Museum.

## Quotes

* The progress of botany, as of other sciences, comes from the interaction of so many factors that undue emphasis on any one can give a very distorted impression of the whole, but certainly among the most important of these for any given period are the prevailing ideas and intellectual attitudes, the assumptions and stimuli of the time, for often upon them depends the extent to which a particular study attracts an unbroken succession of men of industry and originality intent on building a system of knowledge and communicating it successfully to others of like mind.
** Botanical Gardens and Botanical Literature in the Eighteenth Century, 1961
