# Octopus

An octopus (plural: octopuses or octopodes) is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda.

## Quotes

* Strange beauty, eight-limbed and eight-handed, Whence camest to dazzle our eyes? With thy bosom bespangled and banded With the hues of the seas and the skies; Is thy home European or Asian, O mystical monster marine? Part molluscous and partly crustacean, Betwixt and between.Wast thou born to the sound of sea trumpets? Hast thou eaten and drunk to excess Of the sponges—thy muffins and crumpets, Of the seaweed—thy mustard and cress? Wast thou nurtured in caverns of coral, Remote from reproof or restraint? Art thou innocent, art thou immoral, Sinburnian or Saint?Lithe limbs, curling free, as a creeper That creeps in a desolate place, To enroll and envelop the sleeper In a silent and stealthy embrace, Cruel beak craning forward to bite us, Our juices to drain and to drink, Or to whelm us in waves of Cocytus, Indelible ink!O breast, that ’twere rapture to writhe on! O arms ’twere delicious to feel Clinging close with the crush of the Python, When she maketh her murderous meal! In thy eight-fold embraces enfolden, Let our empty existence escape, Give us death that is glorious and golden, Crushed all out of shape!Ah! thy red lips, lascivious and luscious, With death in their amorous kiss, Cling round us, and clasp us, and crush us, With bitings of agonised bliss; We are sick with the poison of pleasure, Dispense us the potion of pain; Ope thy mouth to its uttermost measure And bite us again!
** Arthur Clement Hilton, "Octopus" (1872)
* ... octopi Like blazing moons with countless arms of fire, Climb from the seas of ever-surging flame That roll and roar through planets unconsumed, Beating on coasts of unknown metals; ...
** Clark Ashton Smith, from The Hashish-Eater; or, the Apocalypse of Evil (1920)
# Natalie Diaz

Natalie Diaz (born September 4, 1978) is a Native American poet, language activist, former professional basketball player and educator.

## Quotes

* I had to be willing to risk myself for what I wanted. And I want desire; I want to be capable of it. I want to be deserving of it.
** On the conflicting nature of her racial and religious identities in “Natalie Diaz: 'It is an important and dangerous time for language'” in The Guardian (2020 Jul 2)
* Poetry was an unlikely place for me to land … I mean, who says: ‘I’m going to be a poet when I grow up’? I grew up on a reservation and we had a boarding school where language was taken.
** On becoming a poet in “Natalie Diaz: 'It is an important and dangerous time for language'” in The Guardian (2020 Jul 2)
* In Mojave, our words for want and need are the same – because why would you want what you don’t need?
** On the dual meaning of words in “Natalie Diaz: 'It is an important and dangerous time for language'” in The Guardian (2020 Jul 2)
* Maybe a wound is a way of seeing into someone. Or maybe it is an opening into the person who inflicted the wound. I don’t need the wounds to disappear, but I want to give them the possibility to flower or tu’aachk, as we might say in Mojave. I can’t deny my wounds, those I’ve gathered across my own body and mind, as well as those I have inflicted on others’ bodies and minds. I can try to imagine a condition in which the wound will bloom, meaning a place beyond the wound…
** On the symbolism of a wound in “A CONVERSATION WITH NATALIE DIAZ” in Adroit Journal (March 2020)
* I am Native, so I am both—truth/fiction—and also bleeding over or overflowing each. Truth is always a placeholder for something. For how we feel, or how we want to feel, how we wished we didn’t feel. Things we wish we’d done, or hadn’t done, hadn’t enjoyed doing. The way we handle or mishandle our wounds, and try to hold them up and look through them, like mirrors, to be seen, no matter how opaque and obstructed they are. You can’t trust truth. But then, even the word trust. . . what is that a placeholder for?
** On how her writing handles the theme of truth in “THE PEN TEN: AN INTERVIEW WITH NATALIE DIAZ” in PEN America (2020 March 5)

## Quotes about Natalie Diaz

* Diaz is my antidote to being uninspired. I never leave her work empty-handed.
** Elizabeth Acevedo Interview (2021)
* Recently, I read a tweet by the poet Natalie Diaz, who asked, Why must writers of color always have to talk about whiteness? Why center it in our work when it's centered everywhere else?
** Cathy Park Hong "The End of White Innocence" in Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning (2020)
# Natalie Dormer

Natalie Dormer (born 11 February 1982) is a British actress. Her accolades include winning an Empire Award, and receiving nominations for a Critics' Choice Award, two Gemini Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

## Quotes

* A good script is a good script. I want three-dimensional, truthful characters that the audience will care about and a script that has something to say. Even if the script is just for pure entertainment and escapism it can have something to say. I look now for roles that are different from what I have done before. I want to challenge myself and people’s perceptions of me. If we challenge ourselves, we grow.
* It doesn’t matter what angle you approach a character from (because that varies) ultimately my process is the same regardless of the medium. A human approaching another human. What does this person want or rather think they want?
* Female education in the world – every girl should have the right to education – and gender equality, hence lending my face and support to Plan UK’s ‘Because I am A Girl’ campaign. And you should watch ‘Girl Rising’ too. I also feel very strongly about supporting charities for vulnerable children. That’s why I ran the London Marathon in 2014 for Barnardo’s. Whether affected by poverty, abuse, disability, addiction or isolation, no child should ever feel that they are alone and life isn’t worth living.

## Quotes

* There’s so much going on in the world, it’s just nice to have something to help you escape. The songs we’re making are fun dance records that you want to hear at a party. We’re enjoying making the music — we want people to enjoy listening to it too!
* There’s no ego, we’re two women who support each other wholeheartedly,” Martinez explains. “That’s what makes it such a great partnership. I hope we show that if you want to do something you just need to go out and do it. The music industry tends to pit women against one another. So with us, I hope people see that women can work together and make great things happen.
* When I’m singing I embody a character and adopt a certain attitude. I think of a story and really try to get into character to help get certain vocals out. I feel like acting and singing often go hand in hand – you’re really just telling a story.

## Quotes

* "Sometimes, Go slow to go fast! Entrepreneurs like myself always want to go fast, we love to build. But there always comes a time when you face adversity, pressure and challenges. Every decision and reaction can’t be made just as quickly. Learning to go slow to go fast only gives you great room for perception."

# Natalia Tena

Natalia Gastiain Tena (born 1 November 1984) is a British actress and musician. She is known for playing Nymphadora Tonks in the Harry Potter film series (2007–2011), and the wildling Osha in the HBO series Game of Thrones (2011–2013; 2016).

## Quotes

* I do some conventions and that’s always really nice because you get to meet fans, But at the same time, a lot of people, they might have a favorite character, but it’s more that they’re not really thinking about you. They’re thinking about the world and I think the world is what everyone’s obsessed with, really.
* I think Harry Potter works so well because at the core of it, if you think about it, it’s about a kid that is suffering child abuse and finds his family not in family, but in friends. I think that’s such an amazing message and, obviously, it’s coupled with magic, which we all want to want to be real, all of us. And it’s coupled with really trying to process death as well, which is why I think it’s such a successful thing. Because it does all those things for children, but for adults as well.

## Quotes

* If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.
** In "Samples from Almost Illegible Notebooks", ADAM International Review, No. 299 (1962)
* Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.
** In "Samples from Almost Illegible Notebooks", ADAM International Review, No. 299 (1962)
* The advantage of love at first sight is that it delays a second sight.
** In "Samples from Almost Illegible Notebooks", ADAM International Review, No. 299 (1962)
* I am beginning to have a healthy dread of possessions, be it of a country, a house, a being or even an idea. If we are bothered by possessions we cannot really live either from without or from within; we are the possession of our possessions. All wars and most loves come from the possessive instinct. Why grab possessions like thieves, or divide them like socialists when you can ignore them like wise men: that you may belong to everything and everything be yours inclusive of yourself. Could we, and we can, have the vital necessities for all, we should do away with this cry of class and begin to differentiate between individuals. Individual superiority can alone feed the soul and give back through some materialisation of itself this individualised wealth of being.
** In "My Country 'tis of Thee", ADAM International Review, No. 299 (1962)
* We know all their gods; they ignore ours. What they call our sins are our gods, and what they call their gods, we name otherwise.
** In "Gods", ADAM International Review, No. 299 (1962)
* Time engraves our faces with all the tears we have not shed.

## Quotes

* Having the chance to watch … Meet Your Meat, it was probably one of the first punches. Once I made that connection between loving an animal and eating an animal is when things clicked in my brain. Latinos have this obsession with everything fried, with a lot of animal protein, and, yeah, it’s true—we have a lot of problems with obesity, we have a lot of problems with diabetes, we have a lot of problems with asthma. We have a lot of problems with a lot of things that come from it. And I couldn't believe that to create a toothpaste, or to create a shampoo, there are a lot of animals that have to suffer for that. As you become a vegan, you start learning that everything in your life has to become cruelty free.

** Interview with Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine; as quoted in "Jennifer Lopez's coat massacre", FemaleFirst.co.uk (November 2005).
* There is no kind way to rip the skin off animals’ backs. Anyone who wears any fur shares the blame for the torture and gruesome deaths of millions of animals each year. … Saving animals is as simple as choosing synthetic alternatives instead of real fur.

# Oscar Hijuelos

## Quotes

* My advice to me back then is: Beware of people bearing gifts. When you have la fama [fame], people come out of the woodwork who are supposedly looking out after you. There's an old blues song that goes, "She's got a mouth full of gimme and a hand full of much obliged," and basically that's it. Unless you have guidance, it's a hard world to experience, but it has its perks.
** On the advice that he’d give to his younger self following the success of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love in “Mambo in Double Time: The Beat Goes On” in AARP Magazine (Summer 2010)
* My take on Cuba is partly memory-bound, partly melancholic. I read this interesting thing about the word "nostalgia," which is often used about my writing: that it comes from a term ship doctors used to describe a disease when sailors had been out to sea for a few years and were getting homesick. I've always had that, in terms of writing, this thing that is physical,that makes you homesick. For me it is a home that I never really knew and have always seen partly through literature and the great Cuban writers. My writing about Cuba [is] more like an act of creation. Whatever my Cuba is about, it's my own version. I'm not a cultural anthropologist.
** On how he writes about Cuban themes in “Mambo in Double Time: The Beat Goes On” in AARP Magazine (Summer 2010)
* “My father was – well he had a work ethic and a half. Contrary to popular stereotypes, most Latinos I knew growing up had very strong work ethics. He was also a very kindly man, and…gentle, very soft-spoken. And I think to a certain extent, very shy. And I think I inherited that from him, which has made the fact that I have to get out every now and then, and actually be somebody in front of people without getting terrible stage fright, which I used to get all the time. You know it took me a long time to get over that hump.
