# Blank verse

Blank verse is poetry written in regular metrical but unrhymed lines.

## Quotes

* BLANK-VERSE, n. Unrhymed iambic pentameters -- the most difficult kind of English verse to write acceptably; a kind, therefore, much affected by those who cannot acceptably write any kind.
** Ambrose Bierce, The Cynic's Dictionary (1906); republished as The Devil's Dictionary (1911).
* Blank verse really deserving the name I believe...to be impossible except to one or two eminent writers in a generation.
** John Conington, The Aeneid of Virgil (1866), Preface.
* I will venture to assert, that a just translation of any ancient poet in rhyme is impossible. No human ingenuity can be equal to the task of closing every couplet with sounds homotonous, expressing at the same time the full sense, and only the full sense of his original.
** William Cowper, The Iliad of Homer: translated into English blank verse (1791), Preface.
* He that thinks himself capable of astonishing may write blank verse: but those that hope only to please must condescend to rhyme.
** Samuel Johnson, Lives of the English Poets (1781), 'The Life of Milton'.
* Blank verse seems to be verse only to the eye.
** William Lock, "an ingenious critick", as quoted by Samuel Johnson in Lives of the English Poets (1781), 'The Life of Milton'.
* Rhyme is no necessary adjunct of true poetry.
** John Milton, as quoted by Samuel Johnson in Lives of the English Poets (1781), 'The Life of Milton'.
** From Milton's Preface to Paradise Lost: "...rhyme being no necessary adjunct or true ornament of poem or good verse".
* As it is generally seen, blank verse seems to be only a laborious and doubtful struggle to escape from the fangs of prose. [I]f it ever ventures to relax into simple and natural phraseology, it instantly becomes tame and the prey of its pursuer.
** Charles Symmons, The Æneis of Virgil (1817), Preface.
# Blanche Lincoln

Blanche Lambert Lincoln (September 30, 1960) is an American politician who served as a United States Senator from Arkansas from 1999 to 2011. A member of the Democratic Party, she was first elected to the Senate in 1998; she was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arkansas since Hattie Caraway in 1932 and youngest woman ever elected to the Senate at age 38.

## Quotes

* I’ve always tried to do what was best for Arkansas, even if it meant taking on my party, the president, the Wall Street banks or the Washington unions that spent $10 million to defeat me
** she says in the ad
* If you think campaigning is easy, it’s not. It’s fun. It can be fun. But at some point when you’re spending 18 hours a day, seven days a week out on the road, it’s a grind’ and it can be
** she told the boys
* Public service is not just reserved for a few. Just because I’m not an elected official that doesn’t mean I’ll give up. We all need to be engaged, it takes all of us to solve problems
** Lincoln says she still feels a sense of duty

## Quotes about person/work

* She’s recognized the generic Democrat has trailed the generic Republican since January in Arkansas, and that’s what she has battled to overcome all year. She did not deny that a primary election challenge made that overall objective more difficult
** said spokeswoman Katie Laning Niebaum
* Lincoln has her own record of deregulating Wall Street and opposing the public option to thank for her political demise
** said PCCC’s Adam Green

### Interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, 16 Feb. 2006

* It is other people who want me to win medals.
* The silver medals I won in Salt Lake City didn’t give me anything. Last year I set myself the goal of winning the World Cup and lining up a long series of wins. It was my private challenge.
* This year I just want to enjoy myself. I could give up tomorrow without having the slightest regret. I could keep away from this world for a year and then perhaps start to feel the desire to prove something to myself again.
* Fame is almost a poison. I couldn’t care less, in fact I lived better when I was a nobody.
* Some people say I make mistakes, I just say that in fact this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don’t they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren’t necessarily mine. That’s the mistake people make.
* Sport is born clean and it would stay that way if it was the athletes who ran it for the pleasure of taking part, but then the fans and the media intervene and finish up by corrupting it with the pressure that they exercise.
* Anyone who isn’t strong is left in a corner, no one asks for their autograph, they are abandoned in the cold shadows. Those who win, however, become icons.
* From this inhuman pressure doping is born because the athlete feels the imperative of having to be No. 1. I believe instead that sport should be a private pressure, a challenge for yourself.

### Interview with Newsweek, Nov. 2005, pub. 23 Feb. 2006

* You basically have to trick yourself into incredible intensity to do this stuff, and I do a good job of pretending that I’m racing to save my mom from getting killed or my sister from being raped—some horrible thing that causes me to dig deep, like old-school ‘Braveheart’ s---. If you come into battle with that in your head, you’re gonna be a different person than if you think you’re just going out for a little swordfight. But when you do that for 10 years straight, it wears your a-- out. It’s like crying wolf to yourself a million times. And at some point, you start to say, ‘Why am I doing this?’
* For me the ideal Olympics would be to go in with all that pressure, all that attention and have performances that are literally tear-jerking, that make people put their heads down because they’re embarrassed at how emotional they’re getting, that make people want to try sports, talk to their kids, call their f---ing ex-wives—and come away with no medals. I think that would be epic. That would be the perfect thing.

## About

* I never know what to make of Bode Miller because he is crazy. I'm serious. He is so hard to understand. But I know this: When he is on, he is the perfect skier.

# Bodhicitta

In Buddhism, bodhicitta, "enlightenment-mind", is the mind that strives toward awakening, empathy, and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings.

## Quotes

* Ratnākara, you should understand that an upright mind is the pure land of the bodhisattva. When the bodhisattva attains Buddhahood, then beings who are free of flattery will be born in his country. A deeply searching mind is the pure land of the bodhisattva. When he attains Buddhahood, beings who are endowed with blessings will be born in his country. A mind that aspires to bodhi or enlightenment is the pure land of the bodhisattva. When he attains Buddhahood, beings dedicated to the Great Vehicle will be born in his country.
** Gautama Buddha to Ratnākara, on the practices carried out by bodhisattva in purifying the lands. Vimalakirti Sutra, Chapter I, as translated by Burton Watson, Columbia University Press, 2000, ISBN: 0231106572.
* Bodhicitta is the medicine which revives and gives life to every sentient being who even hears of it. When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product.
** Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, The Path to Tranquility: Daily Wisdom (1998) edited by Renuka Singh
* Above all, you must constantly train your mind to be loving, compassionate, and filled with Bodhicitta.
** Shabkar Tsokdruk Rangdrol, The Life of Shabkar: The Autobiography of a Tibetan Yogin, translated by Matthieu Ricard (Albany: State University of New York Press, 1994), p. 541.

# Bodhan

Bodhan town in Nizamabad district of the Indian state Telangana.

## Quotes

* The place,... is strewn with sculptures of Jaina and Brahmanical professions of faith… Contemporary history does not mention Bodhan; but the array of antiquities and the discovery of both Hindu and Muslim inscriptions in recent times establish the fact that the town possessed considerable religious and strategic importance in early days.
** G. Yazdani in Epigraphia Indo-Moslemica, 1919-1920, p. 16-18
* In obedience to the commandment of the Almighty God, the Lord of both the worlds; and in love of… the exalted Prophet: During the reign of Shãhjahãn, the king of the seven climes, the viceregent of God (lit. Truth), the master of the necks of people… the benevolent and generous Prince Aurangzeb, whose existence is a blessing of the Merciful God on people: He built a house for worship with (all) the qualities of heaven: after the site has been previously occupied by the temple of infidels…
** Inscription on Ãlamgîrî Masjid Mosque at Bodhan, Nizamabad District of Andhra Pradesh, ca. 1655. “The place,” writes G. Yazdani, “is strewn with sculptures of Jaina and Brahmanical professions of faith… Contemporary history does not mention Bodhan; but the array of antiquities and the discovery of both Hindu and Muslim inscriptions in recent times establish the fact that the town possessed considerable religious and strategic importance in early days.” About another mosque in the same town : “The Deval Masjid,” comments G. Yazdani, “as its name signifies, was originally a Hindu temple, and converted into a mosque by Muhammad Tughlaq at the time of his conquest of the Deccan. The plan of the building is star-shaped; it has undergone little alteration at the hands of Moslems excepting the removal of the shrine-chamber and the setting up of a pulpit. The original arrangement of the pillars remains undisturbed and the figures of tirthankaras may be noticed on some of them to this day.” Epigraphia Indo-Moslemica, 1919-1920, p. 16-18

## Quotes

* The starting point for building great relationships is making wise decisions about who we allow close to us. We need people who will build us up and take us forward, and good friends will do just that.
* The Sisterhood has just put new language and parameters around [women’s ministry]. It’s crossed some lines that I think were generational, where young women would perhaps not see themselves as part of traditional “women’s ministry”.
* We need to be good at sex ourselves so that if the world happens to come knocking we can tell the story of God in our lives. We can say, ‘I have a great marriage and a great sex life’ … wink, wink, nudge, nudge.”
* It’s a declaration that positions itself amid awareness and responsibility, concern and care, injustice and solution. A declaration ultimately concerned with the welfare of the world and her inhabitants. It has courageously woven its way through time and history and continues to weave itself across our lives and future.

He is a three-time Hart Trophy winner and 1987 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee.

## Quotes

* My feelings I'm sure are like the thousands of other kids who dreamed their entire life of winning and holding the Stanley Cup. I don't really know how to articulate it and I've never seen anybody put the feeling into words properly. We all felt the same way, whether you won it in Montreal, or in Toronto or in Philadelphia. When you win the Stanley Cup after dreaming about it your whole life, for me, that was the highlight of my hockey playing career.
** Quoted in Kevin Shea, "One on One with Bobby Clarke," Legends of Hockey.net (2003-05-02)
* I don't give a shit if nobody likes me, I could care less. But they shouldn't be getting mad at me, I didn't put the [offer sheet] rule in the collective bargaining agreement. If they're mad, they should call Gary Bettman and complain to him. Get mad at Gary Bettman. He's in charge of the rules, not me. I didn't realize there were some rules we're not allowed to use.
** Quoted in "Clarke goes on offensive defending offer," tsn.ca (2006-09-14)
** After signing Vancouver Canucks center Ryan Kesler to an offer sheet in 2006
