## Quotes

* Dominica, also known as Nature Island, used to be called Wai’tu kubuli by the indigenous Kalinago people pre-colonisation and chattel slavery. It means “Tall is Her Body”, a sentiment true to her immense mountain ranges. It is the only home to the endangered sisserou parrot, recently stolen without the consent of the people: a majority dispossessed Black people who are all the progeny of enslaved Africans. It is a beautiful land of many waters: rivers, stream, creeks, boiling lakes, and all the wildlife and earthen ecosystems that shape them.
** MerriCatherine, “Poisoning Wai’tu kubuli’s Water & Staining the Air: Dominica and Geothermal Colonialism”
* Though Dominica’s official maroon community, known as the Neg Mawon, was considered much smaller than [similar communities in Jamaica and Brazil]…the Neg Mawon persisted in the woods of Dominica, outlasting their Saint Vincent and Jamaican counterparts by twenty years.

## Quotes

* Succeeding in business is not just about making money. Money is important, but it’s not the real driver — certainly not for me. I have found that what drives me is the desire to prove, to myself and to my peers, that I can do what I set out to do and build something that matters. I’ve done that by recruiting smart people — many from traditional corporate environments –and giving them a dose of entrepreneurial spirit. You achieve long-term success step by step. Try to achieve your goals one at a time, like you do target practice. I look at each day as a chance to move one notch above yesterday — whether it’s in service quality, delivery, speed, or any other aspect of the business. I don’t measure my “success” every day. I measure how much we have left to do. In that sense, business success is just a form of persistence."
** The Secrets of Their Success – and Yours, Fast Company (June 30, 1997)
* [listening and learning] first-hand about the views attitudes and experiences of the Tribes ... the more I heard, the more I’ve learned, and the more I saw, the more resolved I became about helping to address the challenges that plague the Native American community."

## Quotes

* This is tribalism at its worst. Beginning with Israel’s Declaration of Independence, the Jewish value of human dignity and the principle of the equality of all people have formed the democratic foundation of the state. This law is completely incompatible with those values. It is a slap in the face to Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel and provides a legal basis to discriminate based on religion, race, and sex. Legislation that identifies first- and second-class citizens has no place in a democracy. Basic laws should define the fundamental values of the state. If racism, sexism, and religious fundamentalism are to be protected in Israel’s basic laws, it should be no surprise when the country embodies those values. This bill and the government that supported it are a danger to Israel’s future.

## Quotes
### Born on a Blue Day (2006)

* My algebra was relatively poor. I found it very difficult to use equations that substituted numbers — to which I had a synesthetic and emotional response — for letters, to which I had none. It was because of this that I decided not to continue math at Advanced level, but chose to study history, French and German instead.
** Chapter 6: Adolescence.
* I had eventually come to understand that friendship was a delicate, gradual process that mustn't be rushed or seized upon but allowed and encouraged to take its course over time. I pictured it as a butterfly, simultaneously beautiful and fragile, that once afloat belonged to the air and any attempt to grab at it would only destroy it.
** Chapter 8: Falling in Love.

## Bookreview by Jim Withers, Canwest News Service, June 8 2009

## Quotes

* I testify that it is possible for believers to be so filled with the Holy Ghost that they can live many years on the earth conscious every day of a meetness for the inheritance of the saints in light, and of no shrinking back, because of a felt need of further inward cleansing, from an instant translation into the society of the holy angels and into the presence of the holy God.

# Gypsy Taub

Oxane "Gypsy" Taub (born June 18, 1969) is a Russian American activist in the San Francisco public nudity movement. She was arrested in 2019 with charges related to a minor. At one point, Taub lived in California with David DePape, a man who attacked Paul Pelosi in 2022.

## Quotes

* It is true that it is illegal to have sex with a minor (under 18 in California, under 16 in Alabama, under 14 in Hawaii, under 12 in Mexico). I never once approached you sexually. As far as dating goes, for instance, the law makes it clear that dating is not illegal as long as there is no sexual intercourse. So not only did I never break the law with regards to you, I never even came close to breaking the law. Your mother has yet to find the police code that prohibits sharing a Youtube song with a minor. No judge and no DA would ever consider taking on such a case.

# György Ligeti

## Quotes

* Now there is no taboo; everything is allowed. But one cannot simply go back to tonality, it’s not the way. We must find a way of neither going back nor continuing the avant-garde. I am in a prison: one wall is the avant-garde, the other wall is the past, and I want to escape.
** A lecture at the New England Conservatory in 1993, quoted on

# Gyo Obata

# György Kepes

György Kepes (October 4, 1906 – December 29, 2001) was a Hungarian-born painter, designer, educator and art theorist.

## Quotes about György Kepes

* György Kepes has commented enthusiastically on the ‘magic rhythms emanating from this swaying, dancing steel trembling with life’, and he has also noted the sense of ‘an instant fellowship, a spontaneous celebration’ which is re-created in their presence. As he concludes: ‘Rhythm is friendship and in Tsai’s work there is friendship of light, sound and our own heart-beats.’
    If this appraisal testifies to the success with which Tsai affects the sensory and emotional responses of the spectator, we must not neglect the fact that he is also addressing himself to reason and the scientific element in his audience. In effect, the observer can enter an almost mathematical relationship with these works, and sharpen his perceptual powers through the exact assessment of the various aesthetic parameters of vibration, sound, colour, wave movement, etc.

## Quotes

* This is a footnote to our gay-marriage discussion. A woman in India last week married a snake. And it was done at a traditional Hindu ceremony attended by 2,000 people. Now, I would like to ask the proponents of gay marriage, which after all violates traditions going back through all of human history, to now absolutely positively guarantee that the next movement is not going to be allowing people to marry their pet horse, dog or cat. And you know what? Given the anything-goes culture we live in, I don't think they can deliver that guarantee.

** Wall Street Journal, October 23, 2008, interview with Kelsey Hubbard.
* A friend last weekend said he thought the story about the University of New Hampshire's website publishing a bias-free language guide, which declared that use of the word "American" is "problematic," was a hoax. Of course, it was real.
** "The Joy of Madness", The Wall Street Journal (17 September 2015), A13.

## Quotes about Henninger

* "I think we can all agree with Mr. Henninger's flawless logic. If a woman in India marries a snake, gay people in America should have to justify it. But here's where Henninger and I part ways. I don't see gay marriage as a slippery slope down to people marrying snakes. I see marrying snakes as a step up the slope from gay marriage. Hear me out! No! I've got no problem with people marrying snakes--as long as they're not marrying gay snakes. We must marry limbless reptiles of the opposite sex. Otherwise it's just unnatural."

# Dan Howell

Daniel James Howell (born 11 June 1991) is an English YouTuber, presenter, and author.

## Quotes

* This experience coming from a childhood hearing the word gay meaninglessly thrown around as an insult at home and school, in music, on TV, to then realizing I am actually kinda gay, to then very specifically being attacked for it, was traumatic.
* I have a platform and a following of millions of people, many of whom I know have been through exactly what I have. And if I tell my story, as painful and flip floppy and flawed as it is, I know it will mean something to someone, as every time someone speaks openly about sexuality, it saves lives.
* We get dealt cards from the start, too. If you look at my life, I was born into this world as an able-bodied, white, cis man in Britain, which immediately gives me so much privilege in this current world and I am fully aware of how much harder making it to today could have been for me, which is why we all need to stand up for equality and social justice, even if it doesn't apply to us.
* I’m here, I’m queer, and don’t worry, I’m still full of existential fear.
* Queer people exist. Choosing not to accept them is not an option.
** Basically I'm Gay, 13 June, 2019
* If a gay person dyes their hair, they are a visibly spiraling crisis twink. [...] That is a stereotype, and you know what, some stereotypes are true, and that is one of them.
** Something we want to tell you!, 4 January 2021
* I’ve come out of the closet, now I just need the confidence to actually leave the house.
* Every single one of us needs to be there for each other, not just in the big profound ways but sometimes just the really small and important ways.
* School friends don’t have to be people that you actually get on with, they’re just people that you bond with after sharing a traumatic situation for several years.

## Quotes
### To See Every Bird on Earth (2005)

All quotes from the hardcover first edition, published by Hudson Street Press, ISBN 1-59463-001-1, 1st printing Italics as in the book
* Not long ago, there were only thought to be six thousand bird species on earth. Ten years from now, most ornithologists believe, there will be three times that many. It isn’t that new species are evolving; rather, scientists are arriving at new definitions of what species are. This advanced thinking – and birds are on the cutting edge of it – has profound implications for human understanding. Speciation is evolution. Evolution is at the heart of who we are, what life is on this planet.
** Prologue (p. xvi)
* As Fisher told me his story, I found myself wondering how much of what we end up doing – or being – is inevitable, and how much is choice? Dad told me that he had to accept responsibility. Most of us have met that moment where we suddenly realize the things that we once sought are now falling into a different order of priorities. Sometimes, we have to find a way to change our lives, to re-embrace that which seems to be vanishing. Other times, we simply abandon our dreams.
** Chapter 4, “Just a Hobby” (p. 73)
* “I’m in love.” “You’re not in love,” Dad replied curtly. “You’ve been smoking too much dope.”… “Yes, I am,” said the psychologist. “No,” said Dad, ever rational. “You’ve just taken all your needs and desires and projected them onto this woman.” The shrink stared toward the lights of the South American city they were approaching. “Isn’t that what love is?” he replied.

## Quotes

* When we first started, we were able to take our undercover video to 60 Minutes or 20/20, and they would fight over it and do these thought-provoking exposés. Now that society has become less interested in these programs and more interested in sensationalism and the tabloids, we have to reinvent ourselves to keep our issues on the front burner; we have had to do a lot of theatrical things. … Much of what we do is geared toward kids, who have a great sense of justice. This is the first generation in which kids have grown up with this issue. Twenty-five years ago, parents were petrified when their kids went vegetarian — some still are.

* Rick and Morty is definitely the most freeing, most fun thing I’ve ever worked on. It’s had the biggest impact. I love everything I make—and hate it, I guess—but I have a very special relationship with Rick and Morty, and getting a 70-episode pickup means that I can actually really focus on it, and loving it won’t be taking away from anything else.
