** "Agathon", in The North Shore Watch, and Other Poems (1890), p. 51

## Quotes

* There are people who would be able to do the same if they’d been given the same privileges as me. I think of how, in our society, so many of us like to consider ourselves the heroes of our own stories. We tell ourselves that we would’ve been better than our ancestors: We would’ve fought slavery, fought internment and concentration camps, stopped genocide. Yet these are all things that are happening in the world right now, and I feel a helplessness and hopelessness…
** On reflecting on the trials faced by their character Sigourney in their novel Queen of the Conquered in “INTERVIEWS: Kacen Callender in BookPage (2019 Nov 12)
* Because I write contemporary, magical realism and speculative for both children and adults, I spend a lot of time thinking about real settings for the contemporary books and the pieces that could be taken from those places to create fantasy spaces. But I also like to look for the magic in the real world…
** On choosing locations for their works in “INTERVIEWS: Kacen Callender in BookPage (2019 Nov 12)
* People of color face mass incarceration and execution and racism and systematic oppression, taking away so many of our chances to use our talents and abilities as well.
** On the challenges facing minorities in “INTERVIEWS: Kacen Callender in BookPage (2019 Nov 12)
* Fantasy and science fiction novels are metaphors for our world. If a speculative book looks at our world through the eyes of a marginalized person, white readers might not connect with that character, because they haven’t faced racism. They’re not excited by a plot where black and brown characters must fight white oppressors, because they have to see themselves as the villain rather than the hero. They see a main character that doesn’t look like them, and without quite knowing why, they don’t find the story relatable…

The National Gallery of Ireland holds a number of his portraits in oil and works on paper, including one of his portraits of his son William, painted in 1900.

## Quotes

* You must not think I do not admire and really adore this American character, which is now growing up, even while it is so easy to laugh at and even sometimes hate. Depend upon it it is a mistake sometimes to have been too well brought up, it prevents you realising that in America everything hitherto respected including your politeness and reticence is quite out of date. Every day of my life, I meet with some fresh surprise. People will do and say anything, and except a few things like the multiplication table, nothing is sacred.

## About

* Wendell was a man of pronounced individuality, warm in his sympathies, singularly loyal in his attachments, and free from littleness. He never concealed his convictions, which were often critical of modern tendencies and points of view. If he seemed to champion the past at the expense of the present, it was because of his insistence on standards and his veneration for the summits not the table lands of tradition. His conversation had the charm of freedom from the commonplace.

# Cairo Geniza

The Cairo Geniza is a collection of some 400,000 Jewish manuscript fragments and Fatimid administrative documents that were kept in the geniza or storeroom of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Fustat or Old Cairo, Egypt. Spanning the entire period of Middle-Eastern, North African, and Andalusian Jewish history between the 6th and 19th centuries CE, these documents comprise the largest and most diverse collection of medieval manuscripts in the world.

## Quotes

* We are mistaken in thinking that Jewish liturgy has been around for millennia in precisely its current form. The documents of the Cairo Genizah remind us that ancient words never stagnate. Often imperceptibly, sometimes violently, ancient Jewish rituals move and shift and create new realities in each generation. They are the liturgical tectonic plates of the Jewish world.

* After Schechter had climbed a rickety ladder to reach that dim attic-like opening, and once his widening eyes had adjusted to the dark, he found himself staring into a space crammed to bursting with nearly ten centuries' worth of one Middle Eastern, mostly middle-class Jewish community's detritus—its letters and poems, its wills and marriage contracts, its bills of lading and writs of divorce, its prayers, prescriptions, trousseau lists, Bibles, money orders, amulets, court depositions, shop inventories, rabbinic responsa, contracts, leases, magic charms, and receipts.

* It was by mere chance that the Cairo Geniza was forgotten and its contents so escaped the fate of other Genizas. These old writings have been saved quite contrary to the intention of those who stored them there. When in the course of the last century the Cairo Geniza was rediscovered, the men in charge of the Synagogue to which it belonged made the surprising discovery that there were some queer people in the world who were attracted by the old material, who were willing to pay considerable sums of money for these scraps of dirty parchment and paper, and that even famous universities were keenly interested in the matter.

## Quotes

* ...[h]uman actors, and not reified systems, are the agents of culture change. Human actors devise complex strategies to solve their problems and meet their goals, and these strategies are neither random nor shaped solely by differential survival either at the population level as ecosystem would have, or at the level of the individual as more recent evolutionary cultural theorist claim. This is not to say that humans always “get it right” or that their actions do not have unforeseen consequences. It is simply to argue that human goals are relevant to cultural outcome.

# Marcus Leatherdale

Marcus Leatherdale (18 September 1952 – 22 April 2022) was a Canadian portrait photographer.

## Quotes

* You'd have to be brain dead to live in India and not be affected by Hinduism. It's not like Christianity in America, where you feel it only on Sunday mornings … if you go to church at all. Hinduism is an on-going daily procedure. You live it, you breathe it. … Hinduism has a playful aspect which I've not experienced in any other religion. Its not so righteous or sober as is Christianity, nor is it puritanical. That's one of the reasons I enjoy India. I wake up in the morning, and I'm very content.
** Marcus Leatherdale, Canadian photographer, quoted in "Banaras: Eclipsed by a camera : The timeless portraits of Marcus Leatherdale" in Hinduism Today (March 1997)
* In Europe's Middle ages, the great cathedrals, including the one of Chartres, rose from the ground upwards to the sky, supported not so much by stone as by the powerful religious symbolism that drove the Christian church. In India, the craftsmen did not build, but removed the earth and stone to discover space in the service of a different religious symbolism, not one identified with any religious monolith, but instead, one to which different religious groups owed allegiance.
