# Raja Rao

Raja Rao (8 November 1908 – 8 July 2006) was an Indian-American writer of English-language novels and short stories, whose works are deeply rooted in metaphysics. The Serpent and the Rope (1960), a semi-autobiographical novel recounting a search for spiritual truth in Europe and India, established him as one of the finest Indian prose stylists and won him the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1964. For the entire body of his work, Rao was awarded the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1988. Rao's wide-ranging body of work, spanning a number of genres, is seen as a varied and significant contribution to Indian English literature, as well as World literature as a whole.

## Quotes

* “I am a man of silence. And words emerge from that silence with light, of light, and light is sacred. One wonders that there is the word at all ‐Sabda-‐and one asks oneself, where did it come from? How does it arise? I have asked this question for many, many years. I’ve asked it of linguists, I’ve asked it of poets, I’ve asked it of scholars. The word seems to come first as an impulsion from the nowhere, and then as a prehension, and it becomes less and less esoteric – – till it begins to be concrete. And the concrete becoming ever more earthy, and the earthy communicated, as the common word, alas, seems to possess least of that original light. The writer or the poet is he who seeks back the common word to its origin of silence that the manifested word become light. […] Thus the word coming of light is seen eventually by light. That is, every word-image is seen by light, and that is its meaning. Therefore the effort of the writer, if he’s sincere, is to forget himself in the process and go back to the light from which words come. Go back where? Those who read or those who hear must reach back to their own light. And that light I think is prayer.”
** from his Neustadt Prize acceptance speech (June 1988):
* “We cannot write like the English. We should not. We can write only as Indians” because the “tempo of Indian life must be infused into our English expression. . . . We, in India, think quickly, and when we move we move quickly.” ... “There must be something in the sun of India that makes us rush and tumble and run on. . . . Episode follows episode, and when our thoughts stop our breath stops, and we move on to another thought. This was and still is the ordinary style of our storytelling.”
** preface of His first novel, Kanthapura, written in 1937
# Raja Chelliah

## Quotes

* A sound anti-poverty strategy should not only aim to increase incomes, but also provide the poor with a variety of assets — personal, social, political and environmental to help them overcome human poverty.
** co-written with R. Sudarshan (1999). Income-poverty and Beyond: Human Development in India. Anthem Press. p. 193. ISBN 978-1-84331-001-3.
* The concept of human poverty also entails the recognition of gender inequality as an essential part of poverty. Measures of income-poverty are usually made at the household level and do not capture intra-household disparities. A gendered approach to human poverty would involve examining how resources such as food, education, health services, and productive assets are distributed within the household.
** co-written with R. Sudarshan (1999). Income-poverty and Beyond: Human Development in India. Anthem Press. p. 193. ISBN 978-1-84331-001-3.

# Quasar

A quasar (also called quasi-stellar object, abbreviated QSO) is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus (AGN), in which a supermassive black hole with mass ranging from millions to billions of stellar masses (denoted M$_☉$) is surrounded by a gaseous accretion disk. Active galactic nuclei are the most luminous persistent sources of electromagnetic radiation in the universe.

## Quotes

* We seem to live in a remarkably economical X-ray universe, in that the observed cosmic X-ray background (CXRB) is produced with almost the least cosmic effort possible. It is not dominated by luminous obscured quasars thundering out huge amounts of power at z ≈ 2–4 but rather by moderate-luminosity, obscured AGNs at z ≈ 0.5–2.

* LOFAR is a new European radio interferometer operating at frequencies 15–240 MHz (van Haarlem et al., 2013) and represents a milestone in terms of radio survey speed compared to existing telescopes. The LOFAR Surveys Key Science Project aims to carry out a tiered survey. ... These surveys will open the low-frequency electromagnetic spectrum for exploration, allowing unprecedented studies of the radio population across cosmic time and opening up new parameter space for searches for rare, unusual objects such as high-z radio quasars in a systematic way. Perhaps, one of the most tantalizing prospects are the 21 cm absorption line measurements using LOFAR along sight lines toward z > 6 radio quasars.

* The continuum spectrum of a quasar can often be described, over a broad frequency range, by a power law of the form $S$$_{ν{\displaystyle\nu}}$ $\propto$ $\nu$$^{–α{\displaystyle\alpha}}$ ... where $\alpha$ is the spectral index. $\alpha$ = 0 corresponds to a flat spectrum, whereas $\alpha$ = 1 describes a spectrum in which the same energy is emitted in every logarithmic frequency interval.

* Quasars were several hundred times more numerous when the universe was much younger. They were most numerous when the universe was about twenty percent of its current age, a time in the history of the universe sometimes called "cosmic noon".

# Narcissistic defences

Narcissistic defences are processes whereby the idealized aspects of the self are preserved, and its limitations denied.

## Quotes

* Some of our brethren are so very full of learning, that you cannot mention any thing to them which they do not know better than yourself!!— nothing is strange to them!!— they knew every thing years ago! ... All this is the result of ignorance and ill-breeding; for a man of good-breeding, sense and penetration, if he had heard a subject told twenty times over, and should happen to be in company where one should commence telling it again, he would wait with patience on its narrator, and see if he would tell it as it was told in his presence before—paying the most strict attention to what is said, to see if any more light will be thrown on the subject.

# Narcissu

Narcissu (ナルキッソス, Narukissosu) is a free visual novel by the dōjin group stage-nana, telling the story of a terminally ill young man, the unnamed protagonist, and woman, Setsumi.

## Protagonist

* (after Setsumi tells him getting medication for her would be futile) It was as she said. I didn't think the same meds would do a thing for her either. But it was just too hard for me to sit there and do nothing, even if I knew that.
* (to Setsumi) ...w-why do you have to be like that...? You and your incessant 'not really's...W-wouldn't it be nice...to look straight forward for a bit?!
* "There was only one picture recorded of her smile in this cheap throwaway camera...but it was proof that we lived."

## Setsumi

* ...my time was at a standstill...I'd spent so many seasons, so many white overcast skies...without the want or need to converse with anybody...just when did I become all alone...?
* Even if I closed my eyes, the real world didn't disappear...Even if I covered my ears, the sound of the rain would not stop. I knew that all too well.
* I knew that my scars...were about as deep as they possibly could be, and that they required much time to be fully healed...But if I were to wait patiently for that long time, was I then to be denied any hope of recovery? In that case...what was to become of me and my 22 years of life...?
* ...it isn't so easy...for me to face forward...It might be easy if you can yearn, hope, persist...if you can keep believing you'll be rewarded someday...But what can you do when your wish doesn't come true? When that time comes, I'm not so strong that I can smile and say it wasn't for nothing...T-the only thing I can do...is to give up from the beginning, wish for nothing...observe myself coldly...tell myself it's all useless...that's all I can do...W-when that time comes, even if I'm trying my hardest...even if...For me...there's nothing left but that last excuse...Because I've known this was futile ever since the beginning...S-so...c-can't you...leave me with at least that...?
# Narcotics Anonymous

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a twelve-step program adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous describing itself as a "fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem."

## Quotes

* Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.
** From the book Narcotics Anonymous, which is referred to within the Narcotics Anonymous fellowship as "the basic text". The quotation was not in the "grey book" version of the basic text distribute­d for editing by the fellowship at large in 1980, but was in the approval version released in November, 1981. A pdf scan of the 1981 approval version can be found here, with the quote appearing on p. 11 (p. 25 of the pdf), at the end of the fourth paragraph (which begins "We have a disease; progressive, incurable and fatal").
** It might have originated in some other part of the addiction recovery community, since it seems to have been in oral use prior to 1981, being cited in a 1980 text from Alcoholics Anonymous (though the link on google books is to a 1992 revised edition, so confirmation is needed that it appeared in the original 1980 version):
*** “When I came into the program, I heard that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results,”
** Variant: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results." Rita Mae Brown, Sudden Death (Bantam Books, New York, 1983, p. 68).
** Note: This quote and variants including "The definition of insanity ..." or "One definition of ..." have been attributed to Albert Einstein, Ben Franklin, Confucius, and an old Chinese proverb, but this is its first known appearance in print.

* Tell me how you would harm me - when even I don't know how I could harm myself.
* Did I kill one of your people, Murnau? I can hardly remember.

## Dialogue

    F.W. Murnau: Why would you possibly want to be in a play when you could be in a film?
    Greta Schroeder: An audience gives me life. [gestures to camera] This... thing only takes it from me.

    Albin Grau: Why sad?
    Max Schreck: Because Dracula had no servants.
    Albin Grau: I think you missed the point of the book, Count Orlock.
    Max Schreck: Dracula hasn't had servants in 400 years and then a man comes to his ancestral home, and he must convince him that he... that he is like the man. He has to feed him, when he himself hasn't eaten food in centuries. Can he even remember how to buy bread? How to select cheese and wine? And then he remembers the rest of it. How to prepare a meal, how to make a bed. He remembers his first glory, his armies, his retainers, and what he is reduced to. The loneliest part of the book comes... when the man accidentally sees Dracula setting his table.
    Albin Grau: Count Orlok, the theatre needs you!
    F.W. Murnau: I will not allow you to destroy my picture!
    Max Shreck: It is hardly your picture any longer.
