* There is a reason why you only see those adventurous types marching off into crocodile infested waters and uncharted jungles up the Congo. Marching into somewhere like Newcastle city centre on a Saturday night is too damn wild, that’s why. I became overwhelmed with a desire to go to Sunderland. And it’s not very often you hear someone say that.

* A writer who denies the need for structure in his work is like a squash player who claims his brilliance removes the need for a wall.
* Stories are the architects of the human mind.
* In the distinctly human sense of our existence, people are made of language.
* The writer doesn’t push story into us, he withholds information in order that we draw his story out of ourselves.

* On summer evenings, before bathtime, my dad used to pick me up by the ankles and swing me round and round! Then one arm and one leg! Like an aeroplane - Wheeeee! We trashed that bathroom.

## Quotes

## Quotes

* Around 16 or 17 years old, I started finding out about some of the animal cruelty things, and ethically it just didn't make sense to me to keep eating meat, so eventually I stopped. … I was watching an HBO special about eating habits and different cultures, and they actually showed in China how people eat cats, and I'm really fond of cats, and I just happened to be sitting on the couch with my cat, and once I saw that, it just put everything in perspective. If I wouldn't eat my cat what's the difference between eating a cat or a cow? If certain animals are considered lesser than, so are certain people and that's not really fair. And the root of that is to consider life on equal terms across the board.

* Should we try what some of the opponents to this have been saying "just trust the system, keep trying to elect a congressman that will have out interests ahead of their own that the lobbyists cant influence and maybe theyll return the power someday to us" and with twenty trillion dollars in debt, nobody willing to buy that debt anymore, the Federal Reserve instead stealing from us by revaluing our currencies in various ways. There's really no tricks left for accounting for that so we really dont have another thirty forty fifty a hundred years left to turn these things around and I do not want to be judged by history as being one who stood idle and let my childrens future fell by the wayside.

The United States dollar, issued by the Federal Reserve System, has been the world's most widely used currency since World War II. It is also the official currency of the world's largest economy and the primary reserve currency.

## Quotes

* That an educated man, of good gifts and opportunities, after looking at the public arena, and even trying, not with ill success, what its tasks and its prizes might amount to, should retire for long years into rustic obscurity; and, amid the all-pervading jingle of dollars and loud chaffering of ambitions and promotions, should quietly, with cheerful deliberateness, sit down to spend his life not in Mammon-worship, or the hunt for reputation, influence, place, or any outward advantage whatsoever: this, when we get a notice of it, is a thing really worth noting.
** Thomas Carlyle, Preface to Emerson's Essays
* Once or twice I have tried to talk to film people about my ugly heroine. I explain to them the extraordinary psychological fascination of the medieval legend of the Loathly Damsel, whose splendour of spirit is confined within a hideous body, and she becomes beautiful only when she is understood and loved. I advise you not to talk to resolutely Hollywood minds about the Loathly Damsel. Their eyes glaze, and their cigars go out, and behind the lenses of their horn-rimmed spectacles I see the dominating symbol of their inner life: it is a dollar sign.
** Robertson Davies, Writing (1990)
* The tradesman scarcely ever gives an ideal worth to his work, but is ridden by the routine of his craft, and the soul is subject to dollars.
** Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The American Scholar,” Addresses and Lectures, Complete Works (1883), vol. 1, p. 85
* A man, any man, will go considerably out of his way to pick up a silver dollar; but here are golden words, which the wisest men of antiquity have uttered, and whose worth the wise of every succeeding age have assured us of; and yet we learn to read only as far as Easy Reading, the primers and class-books, and when we leave school, the “Little Reading,” and story-books, which are for boys and beginners; and our reading, our conversation and thinking, are all on a very low level, worthy only of pygmies and manikins.

# Bonnie Bassler

Bonnie Lynn Bassler (born 1962) is an American molecular biologist, known for her research on quorum sensing in bacteria. She was elected in 2006 a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences and received in 2022 the Wolf Prize in Chemistry.

## Quotes

* Quorum sensing, or the control of gene expression in response to cell density, is used by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to regulate a variety of physiological functions. In all cases, quorum sensing involves the production and detection of extracellular signalling molecules called autoinducers. While universal signalling themes exist, variations in the design of the extracellular signals, the signal detection apparatuses, and the biochemical mechanisms of signal relay have allowed quorum sensing systems to be exquisitely adapted for their varied uses.
** (1999). "How bacteria talk to each other: Regulation of gene expression by quorum sensing". Current Opinion in Microbiology 2 (6): 582–587. DOI:10.1016/S1369-5274(99)00025-9.
* Quorum sensing-controlled behaviors are those that only occur when bacteria are at high cell population densities. These behaviors are ones that are unproductive when undertaken by an individual bacterium but become effective by the simultaneous action of a group of cells. For example, quorum sensing regulates bioluminescence, virulence factor expression, biofilm formation, sporulation, and mating. Quorum sensing is achieved through the production, release, and subsequent detection of and response to threshold concentrations of signal molecules called autoinducers. The accumulation of a stimulatory concentration of an extracellular autoinducer can only occur when a sufficient number of cells, a “quorum,” is present.
** (2002). "Small Talk". Cell 109 (4): 421–424. DOI:10.1016/S0092-8674(02)00749-3.
* ... if we could either keep harmful bacteria from communicating, or help beneficial bacteria to communicate, those could be new kinds of therapeutics that could be developed in the future.

# Bonnie Garmus

Bonnie Garmus (born April 18, 1957) is an American author. Her first published novel Lessons in Chemistry (Doubleday, 2022) became 2022's top national fiction bestseller in the USA.

## Quotes

* Elizabeth Zott had been a character — a minor character — in a book that I started and shelved. But she came back to me one day. And this is, seriously, like ten years later. I'd had a really, really bad day at work. I'd endured some, what I would call, average sexism. I'd been in a meeting, and somebody basically took credit for all of my ideas ... after I had just presented them. ... I went back to my desk and I felt like Elizabeth Zott was sitting there. And I wrote the first chapter of Lessons in Chemistry — that day in my office.
** (August 1, 2022)"Bonnie Garmus: Lessons in Chemistry". The Book Report Network, YouTube. (quote at 2:44 of 1:07:45 in video)
* I think any time a writer wants to take on a difficult topic without sounding didactic, humour really helps. Sexism is demeaning, depressing, infuriating, boring, inefficient, stupid, revolting and completely unscientific – in other words, not funny. But people reveal both their strengths and weaknesses when they try to deal with it, or not deal with it, and therein lies the potential for humour.
** as quoted by Anthony Cummins, (25 Feb 2023)"Interview. Bonnie Garmus: ‘There are so few of us who haven’t been pushed aside’". The Guardian.

## Quotes about Bonnie Garmus

* Born in 1957, Bonnie has enjoyed a successful career as a copywriter and creative director, before turning her hand to fiction. Raised in California she left the US to live first in Geneva and then in London as her husband’s job moved from city to city. In fact it was her arrival in London and the need to get out and make friends that led her to joining a creative writing group. From there she found the confidence to try her hand once more at getting published. This time, she landed an agent — and not just any agent but Felicity Blunt of Curtis Brown no less, sister of Hollywood star Emily Blunt and wife of actor Stanley Tucci, and more importantly, one of the best in the business.

### Vegetarianism

    in Rabbis and Vegetarianism: An Evolving Tradition, edited by Roberta Kalechofsky (Marblehead, MA: Micah Publications, 1995). ISBN 0-916288-42-0
* The purpose and goal of Jewish living is to raise our consciousness of the presence of God in our every-day lives. Judaism, with its system of brakhot (blessings) for every experience from going to the bathroom to seeing a rainbow, teaches us that we do not need to remove ourselves from our daily routine in order to engender a sense of holiness. Rather, our challenge is to live with the chaos and tension of life in the modern world and, at the same time, to live lives of kedusha (holiness).
** p. 37
* With the possible exception of sex, there is no more basic human activity than eating, rendering it an appropriate candidate for Jewish rituals designed to maintain our focus on Godliness. The table is seen as an altar, and the concern with Kashrut extends to removing knives, instruments of war, from the table during the Birkat HaMazon (blessing after the meal). Tsaar baalei khayim, the concern for the pain of all living things and the reverence for life, is another essential aspect of kashrut. Vegetarianism is clearly the Torah's ideal; the Garden of Eden is a vegetarian society.
** p. 37
* As a rabbi I am often called upon to determine the kashrut of various food products and institutions. I am appalled by the number of chemicals that are added to our food, and long for the days when one did not need a degree in chemistry in order to understand what one was eating. From my perspective, I'm tempted to brand all food additives as treif, and hail as glatt kosher only those fruits and vegetables that are organically grown.
** p. 38
* Vegetarianism is an ideal way to actualize the Torah's vision of a world in which the divine spark in all creation is respected and revered.
** p. 39

# Bonnie Morgan

Bonnie Patricia Morgan is a female contortionist and actress.

## Quotes

* Most contortionists are very serious. I was a clown first. I was born a ridiculous human being, and then I get to do this for a living. I love my job, and aside from contortion, I have all-around circus skills.
* I don’t think there is a trick I couldn’t do no matter how much I try. There are girls who can sit on their heads, but they can’t dislocate their elbows or smash their hips. Nor can they act. Anybody can read the words, but can everybody make them come alive?
** Hands down (and legs around), Bonnie Morgan has one of the most twisted gigs in town (September 1, 2012)
* I have played many characters, both in and out of makeup, but I was always one of those kids who rooted for the monster! Seriously, who is having the most fun in the horror movies? The screaming pretty girl or the monster chasing her through the fog? I get to have such a blast being the scariest thing in the room! Playing all strange manner of monsters and creatures chasing, slithering, and at times, flying through crazy adventures chasing some new damsel in distress, often to her doom! What can I say, some girls dream of being princesses in castles, I dreamed of being the dragon on the tower or the monster under the bed…and sometimes even a pixie in Neverland. Playing them is not easy work – the hours are long, it’s physically and mentally demanding, you can’t be claustrophobic in any way, and I’ve been buried alive and almost drowned more times than I’d like to admit, but it is a most wonderful, creative, challenging, exciting occupation and I really love what I do and what I create.
