## Quotes
### Interview (2014)

* (You have said that your work is “a celebration of life”...) DO: Having lived 95 years, I see and feel all aspects of life, and believe that it is all to be shared and recounted. It may not sound “right” to “celebrate” a death, but it was just as important to me to recognize loss and turmoil just as I chose to share joy.
* I believe it is just as important to highlight and memorialize all aspects of our world and cultures. To me, it is important not to bury the shame and trauma caused by the issues you ask about.
* Art was in my blood and my soul, and my grandfather and whole family were encouraging influences. The more I learned, the more I wanted to study and produce art. Picasso was one of my favorite studies.
* It is an artist’s dream/goal to share their work with the world, and I have been blessed in that regard. I have enjoyed creating and sharing it all.
* (What advice do you have for young artists?) DO: Without hesitation, I would say just be yourself and let your imagination, thoughts, beliefs, views, visions — or whatever inspires you — be seen. Be vulnerable, and share what is inside you. Regardless of what medium you chose to create, open up and share your gift.

# Daphne du Maurier

Dame Daphne du Maurier, Lady Browning, DBE (May 13, 1907 – April 19, 1989) was an English author and playwright.

## Quotes

* Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.
** Rebecca (1938), ch. 1, opening words
* I was always pretending to be someone else… historical characters, all those I invented for myself…I act even to this day…It's the old imagination working, a kind of make believe.
** On her childhood (from a 1977 interview as quoted in “The menacing Daphne du Maurier” in Independent.ie (2017 Oct 2)
* The name Rebecca…stood out black and strong, the tall and sloping R dwarfing the other letters.
** On her choice of the title character’s name in Rebecca in “Daphne du Maurier always said her novel Rebecca was a study in jealousy” in The Telegraph (2013 Aug 17)
* The Menace…in movie language, and especially among women, means a heart-throb, a lover, someone with wide shoulders and no hips.”
** On her explanation of the phrase used as a theme and short story title (as quoted in “Why Daphne du Maurier was Britain’s mistress of suspense” in The Guardian; 2017 Jun 13)
* My novels are what is known as popular and sell very well, but I am not a critic’s favourite, indeed I am generally dismissed with a sneer as a bestseller and not reviewed at all.
** On how her novels are typically received by critics (as quoted in “Why Daphne du Maurier was Britain’s mistress of suspense” in The Guardian; 2017 Jun 13)

## Quotes about Daphne du Maurier

* I write about the black experience, because it's what I know. But I'm always talking about the human condition, what human beings feel and how we feel. Given these circumstances, a human being will react this way: he'll be happy, will weep, will celebrate, will fall. So my books are popular in Asia, in Africa, in Europe. Why would I, a black girl in the South, fall in love with Tolstoy or Dickens? I was Danton and Madame Defarge and all those people in A Tale of Two Cities. I was Daphne du Maurier and the Bronte sisters in a town where blacks were not allowed to cross the street. I was educated by those writers. Not about themselves and their people, but about me, what I could hope for.
** 1983 interview in Conversations with Maya Angelou (1989)
# Daqiqi

Abu Mansur Daqiqi (c. 935 — 977) was one of the most prominent Persian poets of the Samanid era.

## Quotes

* Daqiqi has chosen four qualities of all good and evil things in the world: Ruby-colored lips and the sound of the lute. Old red wine and the Zoroastrian religion!
** Stewart, Sarah: The Zoroastrian Flame: Exploring Religion, History and Tradition, 2016
* Choice wine, whose bitter strength can sweeten best The embittered mind, and flood The air with colour, as when goshawk's breast Is dyed with pheasant's blood
** Quoted in Studies in Islamic Poetry, p. 9
* A composite whose body is of light, But all its soul and spirit of fiery strain; A star that hath its setting in the mouth, But ever rises on the cheeks again
** Quoted in Studies in Islamic Poetry, p. 9
* O would that in the world there were no night, That I might ne'er be parted from her lips! No scorpion-sting would sink deep in my heart But for her scorpion coils of darkest hair. If' neath her lip no starry dimple shone, I would not linger with the stars till day; And if she were not cast in beauty's mould, My soul would not be moulded of her love. If I must live without my Well-beloved, O God! I would there were no life for me.
** Quoted in Studies in Islamic Poetry, p. 11
* To ward the kingdom, Fortune took thy sword, And beauty chose thy hand, herself to word. In Heaven for thy decree Fate listening stands, The dinar from its ore sets out to win thy hands.
** Quoted in Studies in Islamic Poetry, p. 15

# Francisco X. Alarcón

Francisco Xavier Alarcón (21 February 1954– 15 January 2016) was a Chicano poet and educator.

## Quotes

* I believe that I became a poet, a writer, when I was transcribing my grandma's songs in Mexico. I was about 15 years old. And my grandma used to sing with the mandolin a beautiful song that she used to play, and I thought at that point that she was basically singing from the old tradition of Mexico. But then I became aware that those were her own songs, but she had never written down the songs herself. So I decided to then transcribe the songs, and I would listen to her, and then write down the songs. They were very beautiful songs, in the Hispanic tradition of Guatecos and the ballads and so forth.
** On what inspired him to become a poet in “Transcript from an interview with Francisco X. Alarcon” (Reading Rockets)
* Imagine, you know, if I did not have access to the memories of my grandma or to my grandfather. If I could not talk to my uncles in Spanish, I would be very poor as a person.
** On why he valued being multilingual to connect with his family and community in “Francisco Alarcon, Whose Poetry Explored Chicano Life In The U.S., Dies” in NPR (2016 Jan 20)
* For me, a poem is not about ideas. It's never an idea that I have. It's basically an image or a sense, mostly images, that have to do with the senses, and so the five senses, and then from the image, then, you know, I have to write it down. And so, once I start writing, it's almost automatic, you know, the next line follows. It's not planning, I don't plan collections of poetry.
** On how he viewed poems in “Transcript from an interview with Francisco X. Alarcon” (Reading Rockets)
* I will be reading the poetry and I will read it aloud because I will be, you know, whispering the poetry, because poetry, I really believe, has to do with a sense of communicating and the idea of reading the poem, giving life to the poem, is important, and so the old tradition is very important.
** On his penchant for reading poetry aloud in in “Transcript from an interview with Francisco X. Alarcon” (Reading Rockets)

## Quotes about Francisco X. Alarcón

* The (Chicano) movement to me is now like a mosaic with all these little pieces. The little pieces are the ones that are now being activated so that a poet like Lorna Dee Cervantes is her own little miniature movement. Francisco Alarcón, Norma Alarcón, José Limón, all the people who are writing are carrying out the struggle against domination and subordination in the kinds of things they focus on-language, folklore, just anything.
** Gloria E. Anzaldúa 1990 interview in Conversations with Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Writers edited by Hector A. Torres (2007)

## Quotes
### The Third Spiritual Alphabet

          as translated by Mary E. Giles (Paulist Press: 1981)
* La amistad y comunicación de Dios es posible en esta vida y destierro. ... Esta amistad o comunicación de Dios al hombre, no por llamarse espiritual deja de tener mucho tomo y certidumbre. ... La comunicación que buscan y hallan las personas que trabajan de llegar a la oración y devoción, la cual es tan cierta, que no hay cosa más cierta en el mundo, ni más gozosa, ni de mayor valor ni precio.
** Friendship and communion with God are possible in this life of exile. .. This communion or friendship between God and man is no less significant or certain because it is called spiritual. ... This communion is more certain than anything else in the world, and nothing is more joyous, more valuable, or more precious.
*** p. 45
* Anda en las vías de tu corazón. Estas vías se destruyen cuando no se usan, como los caminos acá materiales se destruyen no usándose; empero, si se usan, hácense más anchos y muy claros. De esta manera es en las vías del corazón, las cuales tienes destruidas por no las haber usado, y así no es mucho que no sepas andar por ellas. Tórnate, tórnate a ellas, y anden siempre juntamente la persona y el espíritu. No seas como Caín, que se salió de la presencia de Dios y andaba fugitivo y vagabundo por la tierra (Gen 4,14).
** "Walk in the ways of your heart" (Prov 22:6). Like man-made roads, the ways of the heart crumble from disuse, but if used, they become wider and clearer. And so if you destroy the ways of your heart through neglect, it is no wonder you do not know how to journey in them. Return to them, return, and may the person and spirit you are always go as one. Do not be like Cain, who left the presence of God and wandered like a fugitive and vagabond over the earth (Gen 4:12-14).
*** p. 54

## Quotes

* . . . . . . o grande Cavaleiro, Que ao vento velas deu na ocídua parte, E lá, onde infante o Sol dá luz primeiro, Fixou das Quinas santas o Estandarte. E com afronta do infernal guerreiro, (Mercê do Céu) ganhou por força, e arte O áureo Reino, e trocou com pio exemplo A profana mesquita em sacro templo. *        *        *        * O tempo chega, Afonso, em que a santa Sião terá por vós a liberdade, A Monarquia, que hoje o Céu levanta, Devoto consagrando à eternidade. Ó bem nascida generosa planta, Que em flor fruto há-de dar à Cristandade, E matéria a mil cisnes, que, cantando De vós, se irão convosco eternizando.De Cristo a injusta morte vingou Tito Na de Jerusalém total ruína: E a vós, a quem Deus deu um peito invito, Ser vingador de sua Fé destina. Extinguir do Agareno o falso rito É de vosso valor a empresa dina: Tomai pois o bastão da empresa grande Para o tempo que o Céu marchar vos mande.
** … the mighty Knight who set sail in the most western part of Europe and there in the Orient (where the infant Sun gives its first light) set the standard of the Holy Escutcheons. He punished the evil tyrant and won the city of the Golden Kingdom of Malaya through his strength and skill, and with pious example transformed the profane mosque into a sacred temple. ...The time is coming, King Afonso VI, when holy Zion will have its freedom through you. And the Monarchy, consecrated by Heaven for eternity, that well-born plant which flowering will give fruit to Christendom, the theme of a thousand swans, singing about you as they immortalize themselves with you. Titus avenged the unjust death of Christ by the total destruction of Jerusalem; and God has chosen you to whom he gave an unconquerable heart to be the Avenger of His Faith. Take up the staff, then, when Heaven bids you march against the false worship of the Muslims, a worthy enterprise for your courage.

* You have a sense of humor, Mr. Kazam. That’s a rare thing in the religious.
** Kazam Collects (p. 97)
* It was then that I drifted into the nut cult business. I found out that all you need for capital is a stock of capitalized abstract qualities, like All-Knowingness, Will-Mind-Urge, Planetude and Exciliation. With that to work on I can make my living almost anywhere on the globe.
** Kazam Collects (p. 103)
* “He began with the complicated salute of the Astral Confederation and got down to business. ‘Brother Kazam,’ he said, ‘I wish to show you an ancient sacred book I have just discovered.’ I laughed, of course. By that time I’d already discovered seven ancient books by myself, all ready-translated into the language of the country I would be working at the time. The ‘Isba Kazhlunk’ was the most successful; that’s the one I found preserved in the hide of a mammoth in a Siberian glacier.”

Like all second generations they had no patience with the old people or their tales. This was real, this sea, this gale, this rope! Then the third generation. Like all third generations it felt a sudden desperate hollowness and lack of identity. What was real? Who are we? What is NEMET which we have lost? But by then grandfather and grandmother could only mumble vaguely; the cultural heritage was gone, squandered in three generations, spent forever. As always, the fourth generation did not care.
