## Quotes

* I still remember sneaking into the canals as a child and seeing the greenery along them. Already there was less and less nature around them, but it was such a healing moment for me. My house was a rowhouse along the main road. We had no backyard, just the street. The only walks you could do were very hot, very dangerous and very polluted.

* My identity is confusing. In Thai culture I’m a little bit American, and in American culture I’m very Thai. I don’t want gender to be another burden.

### "The architect helping sinking cities fight flooding" (2022)

    "The architect helping sinking cities fight flooding", CNN Style (October 28, 2022)
* The floods changed my life.
* For us, climate change is primarily a water crisis,” she said. “Our people can feel its impacts in their daily lives, each year through worsening floods, rising sea levels, and severe drought.
* In many sinking cities, including Bangkok, the current urban infrastructure is not fit for purpose and is “reducing our ability to adapt (to climate change),” noting that many of Bangkok’s waterways and canals have been destroyed or have fallen into disrepair. “We need to fix them and rethink the way we develop (cities).
* For us, as a city of water, the only way is to go back to our amphibious culture and reclaim the relationship with water.
* To date, Thailand has tried to tackle its flooding problem by building “higher and higher dams,” she said, arguing that this is the wrong approach and a solution “based on fear.”
* The central question sinking cities like Bangkok need to focus on is: “how are we going to live with the water, without fear?” said Voraakhom. This idea of “living with the water” lies at the heart of her design approach.
* The most important thing is to (follow) the wisdom of people from the past who used to live with water.
* Being resilient is the ability to thrive and to survive,” Voraakhom said. “We have that ability as human beings, but our urban infrastructure does not have it and doesn’t allow us to have it.
* Green, climate resilient areas are a “good long-term investment” for cities, she said, and “the best solution for the next generation.

# Dennis Weaver

William Dennis Weaver (4 June 1924 – 24 February 2006) was an American actor most famous for his work in television. Weaver's two most notable roles were as Marshal Matt Dillon's trusty helper Chester Goode on the CBS western Gunsmoke and as Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud on the NBC police drama McCloud. He appeared in the 1971 television film Duel, the first film of director Steven Spielberg. He is also remembered for his role as the twitchy motel attendant in Orson Welles's film Touch of Evil.

## Quotes

* Man is innately a creature of love. That love is the most powerful force in the universe, and eventually — it's a very slow process — it will conquer. I think there will come a time, and this is down the road a great many years, when civilized people will look back in horror on our generation and the ones that have preceded it: the idea that we should eat other living things running around on four legs, that we should raise them just for the purpose of killing them! The people of the future will say “meat-eaters!” in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.
** Interview with Rynn Berry in The Vegetarians (1979), p. 64
* The basic message of Gunsmoke was that there's going to be the bad and there's going to be the good. And most of the time, the good will win out. That's an old theme. There are no new themes, it's just the way you do them. It's the way you bring fresh characters to that theme.

### Philosophy At The Limit (1990)

* Philosophy is an everlasting fire, sometimes damped down by setting itself limits, then flaring into new life as it consumes them. Every field of inquiry is limited, but philosophy has an essential relation to the question of limits, to its own limits.
** Introduction, p. xiii
* Language steps in where the angels of experience fear to tread.
** Chapter 1, The Faces of Silence, p. 5
* To recognize a difficulty is not to solve it.
** Chapter 1, The Faces of Silence, p. 9
* Philosophy is said to have taken the 'linguistic turn' in this century. One hundred years ago, a philosopher would think in terms of mind, spirit, experience, consciousness; now the by-word is language.
** Chapter 2, Metaphysics and Metaphor, p. 26
* To say that all philosophy is writing is, minimally, to say that it is never the transparent expression of thought.
** Chapter 3, Deconstruction and Criticism, p. 46
* Like literature, philosophy is not distinguished from other subjects by a specific approach to a subject-matter independent of it. Chemistry deals with chemicals, biology with life and astronomy with very large, very distant objects. Philosophy can boast no such definite subject-matter.
** Chapter 4, Philosophy As Writing: The Case Of Hegel, p. 69
* The educated man is the man who does not live in immediate intuition, but in his recollection so that little is new to him any longer.
** Chapter 4, Philosophy As Writing: The Case Of Hegel, p. 74
* Philosophy in its very act is a process of translation!
** Chapter 4, Philosophy As Writing: The Case Of Hegel, p. 81
* After Hegel, philosophy confronts the possibility of its own death, and in some sense has to do so if it is to remain the most fundamental kind of thinking.
** Chapter 4, Philosophy As Writing: The Case Of Hegel, p. 88
* The point is that philosophy is seen to have come full circle, and to have exhausted itself.
** Chapter 5, Nietzsche's Styles, p. 95
* Nietzsche's problem is how to be a philosopher once he has grasped the finitude of philosophy.
** Chapter 5, Nietzsche's Styles, p. 96
* To understand how indirect communication is possible we must grasp what it is about ordinary communication that is being changed.
** Chapter 6, Indirect Communication, p. 110
* Dialogue never ends not for lack of time or opportunity but for essential reasons.
** Chapter 7, Vigilance and Interruption, p. 121
* Nietzsche would say my friends lacked ears.
** Chapter 8, Performative Reflexivity, p. 133
* What I would like to show is that there is a vital dimension of their writing, which I call performative reflexivity, which if ignored or misunderstood will impede an adequate response to it.
** Chapter 8, Performative Reflexivity, p. 134
* We are passengers, comprehended and displaced by metaphor.

# Howard Zahniser

Howard Zahniser (25 February 1906 – 5 May 1964) (pronounced "ZON-i-ser") was an American environmental activist and the primary author of the Wilderness Act of 1964.

## Quotes

* The fact is that it is the land that has made us all Americans, and the moral is that it is the land which must be preserved to save our Americanism. Soil erosion, forest exploitation, and wildlife destruction are more insidious anti-American activities than Communism, Fascism, or foreign propagandizing.
** "Indoors and Out", Nature Magazine number 33 (May 1940) p. 255, quoted in Mark Harvey, Wilderness Forever (2005) p. 45
* A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a member of the natural community, a wanderer who visits but does not remain and whose travels leave only trails.
** From an early draft of the Wilderness Act (S. 1176, submitted to the Senate 11 February 1957, as reprinted in The Living Wilderness volume 21, number 59, Winter-Spring 1956-57, p. 26-36)
* A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.
** The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577; 16 USC 1131-1136; approved 3 September 1964)

    Adam Cassidy: You are hard to please.
    Emma Jennings: Not that you'd remember.
    Nicholas Wyatt: Where's my money?
    Adam Cassidy: I used it in market research.
    Jock Goddard: It will know where you've been, who you've been with. It will track your priorities, expenditures, your health, calendar. It will know who you are. And it's all ours.
    Adam Cassidy: You think people really want all that personal information under one roof?
    Jock Goddard: It's not the roof that matters, Adam, it's the warm fuzzy feeling of the home under it. People are so distracted these days, they don't know who they are, but we will. We'll know them better then they know themselves.
