** The South Country (London: J. M. Dent & Co., 1909), pp. 98-99.

* I, too, often shrivel the grey shreds, Sniff them and think and sniff again and try Once more to think what it is I am remembering, Always in vain. I cannot like the scent, Yet I would rather give up others more sweet, With no meaning, than this bitter one.
** "Old Man", line 26, cited from Collected Poems (London: Selwyn & Blount, 1920), p. 98.
* The simple lack Of her is more to me Than others' presence.

# Edward Steichen

Edward Jean Steichen (March 27, 1879 – March 25, 1973) was an American photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator.

## Quotes

* Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. [It is] a major force in explaining man to man.
** Quoted in Time, "To Catch the Instant", 7 April 1961
* Today, I am no longer concerned with photography as an art form. I believe it is potentially the best medium for explaining man to himself and his fellow man.
** Edward Steichen (1967),, cited in: National Portrait Gallery (Smithsonian Institution), ‎Carolyn Kinder Carr, ‎National Portrait Gallery (Great Britain) (2003). Americans: paintings and photographs from the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC, Deel 3. p. 207

## Quotes about Edward Steichen

* He used lighting to create these kind of abstract environments for his subjects—in our show, there's a portrait of Maurice Chevalier dancing while holding his hat, but the shadows of him and his arm look like they're almost dancing in these abstract forms. The focus is very much on him and his face, yet it's all constructed in a very modernist environment.

# Dave Renton

David Renton (born 1972) is a British barrister, historian and author.

## Quotes

* The division between left and right in history is both evident and real. For example, the few detailed histories of specific anti-fascism that exist describe a conflict unrecognisable beside the subtle arguments of these liberal historians. The struggles between fascists and anti-fascists have been violent, lethal and real. The study of them makes it clear that the liberal historians have ignored the decisive importance of anti-socialism to the fascists. They have also overlooked the facists that in every country, socialists and communists have proven to be fascism's staunchest enemies, and that the political left has always been the first victim of fascist rule.
** Fascism: Theory and Practice. Pluto Press. 1999. p. 26. ISBN 978-0-7453-1470-9.
* The alleged symmetry of fascist and socialist thought rarely amounts to anything more than a recognition that both groups have sought to change society and used political parties to affect this change. The fact that fascism and socialism differ in terms of ideas and traditions, have distinct sources of support and radically different relationships to the capitalist status quo, all seem to be neglected. The historians also glide gently over the obvious fact that fascism acquires its allies from the right and not the left.
** Fascism: Theory and Practice. Pluto Press. 1999. p. 27. ISBN 978-0-7453-1470-9.
* The great problem with understanding fascism simply as an ideology is that many of the ideas that characterise fascism are not in themselves distinctive. Some of these ideas are purely nationalistic, and there have been many nationalists who were not fascists. Similarly, many conventional conservative parties have had racist supporters.
** Fascism: Theory and Practice. Pluto Press. 1999. p. 27. ISBN 978-0-7453-1470-9.
* Historians must break out of the prison of ideas. The alternative is to analyse fascism as an active force within society. In order to understand fascism, therefore, any theory must base itself on an examination of the history of the movement, and of its behaviour as a political tradition. It is only from such a sound historical foundation, that a more adequate theoretical understanding can be achieved.
** Fascism: Theory and Practice. Pluto Press. 1999. p. 29. ISBN 978-0-7453-1470-9.

# Gordon Strachan

Gordon Strachan (born 9 February 1957) is a Scottish football manager and former player.

## Quotes

* Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it? Strachan: No, I’m going to crumble like a wreck. I’ll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.
** Evening Gazette, Oct 5 2010

### Metro Article 22nd October, 2009

* Reporter: Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around? Strachan: No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said, "No, I think they should have got George Graham because I'm useless."
* I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado.
* Reporter: This might sound like a daft question, but you'll be happy to get your first win under your belt, won't you? Strachan: You're right. It is a daft question. I'm not even going to bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you're spot on there.
* Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today? Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...
* Reporter: Gordon, Do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad? Strachan: I don't care, I'm Scottish.

## About

* Gordon Strachan is as he is. He can be a prickly character to interview. I just think that, just occasionally, we all need to take a step back. This isn’t done for a national audience or for national television - this is the opportunity the manager has to speak to supporters of his club. If that’s how you want to address fans it is entirely Strachan’s responsibility, but I think he needs to revisit that a bit.

# Gordon Latto (doctor)

Gordon Latto (25 June 1911 – 2 September 1998) was a Scottish doctor and nutritionist who was President of both the International Vegetarian Union and the British Vegetarian Society.

## Quotes

* If we harden our hearts to the suffering of the creatures, we must by an immutable law harden our hearts to our brother and sister, and this can never lead to ideal conditions. The adoption of this vegetarian way of life, if the food is balanced, will lead to a new, better, higher, and more noble rhythm of living.
** Speech at the 24th International Vegetarian Congress, India, 1977; quoted in The Vegetarians by Rynn Berry (Autumn Press, 1979), pp. 133-134.
* So I read about various aspects of vegetarianism—the scientific aspect, the humane aspect, the ethical aspect, and the economic aspect. The more I studied, the more convinced I became that it was a logical procedure, that it would help humanity, that it would lessen the suffering of the animals, and that it would help this country.
** Interview in The Vegetarians by Rynn Berry (Autumn Press, 1979), p. 123.

## Quotes about Latto

* A vegetarian diet, Latto believes, promotes endurance. … Despite the number of patients he must treat, Dr. Latto still finds time to serve as president of the two vegetarian societies … and to lecture on the salutary benefits of a vegetarian diet all over England and Europe—testimony in itself to the stamina that such a diet provides.
** Rynn Berry, The Vegetarians (Autumn Press, 1979), p. 122.
* I met Dr. Gordon Latto, who had become so impressed by the efficacy of nature cure methods that he had switched over almost completely from his orthodox practice to natural healing. He said that he could stop the gallstone from forming, but that I must go on a strict vegetarian diet for a year, besides knocking off drink and tobacco (which he said was worse than drink). This was a tough regime; the gallstones could not survive it. I did, however, and at the end of the period I found that I was also cured of smoking, and that the vegetarian diet suited me so well that I have preferred it ever since.

# Gordon Parks

Gordon Parks (November 30, 1912 – March 7, 2006) was an American photographer, musician, writer and film director.

## Quotes

* … I think maybe the rural influence in my life helped me in a sense, of knowing how to get close to people and talk to them and get my work done. That might have helped some...to try and get to know people and get to know all kinds of people better and investigate their ills and their prejudices and their goods and their evil…
** On how his upbringing helped his photographic efforts in “Oral history interview with Gordon Parks, 1964 Dec. 30” (Smithsonian Archive of the Arts)
* That disadvantage sometimes pushes you, you know, if you use it right, because you want to rid yourself of those things that hurt you emotionally when you're coming up.
** On his childhood in “How self-taught photographer Gordon Parks became a master storyteller” in PBS NEWSHOUR (2019 Feb 1)
* I think that the film being made there did an awful lot to dispel that. For the first time there – well, for the first time in the United States – there was a black man riding in that big crane, and he was the boss of a mostly white crew, about 200 people. They looked at this at first in utter amazement and eventually they were proud of me, because I was a local boy. It was very prideful for the Negro kids.
** On filming “The Learning Tree” in his neighborhood in “Gordon Parks, pioneering black film director – archive” in The Guardian (2016 Sep 22)
* The boys of my gang – there were six or seven of us – none of them lived to be men, to be 21 years old, except one. All of them are dead from some violence or other, shot or cut to death before they were men, by white society…
** On his childhood friends in “Gordon Parks, pioneering black film director – archive” in The Guardian (2016 Sep 22)
* No wonder you get a Rapp Brown, no wonder you get a Le Roi Jones, no wonder you get a Stokely Carmichael. But you can’t really compare these kids with me, because my time was beyond their time. Black studies, the identification with Africa emerging, has instilled a lot of pride in black kids. But the black kids on the campuses are suddenly asking for separate classes and segregated dormitories. I’ve said to them, ‘Black people have fought and died that you might be here. These white kids will be the next leaders, and will reshape your lives for the next 200 years unless you get in the classrooms with them and help’.

# Gordon L. Kane

Gordon Leon Kane (born 19 January 1937) is an American theoretical physicist and winner of the 2017 J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics.

## Quotes

* There are strong reasons to expect that low energy supersymmetry is the probable outcome of experimental and theoretical progress, and that it will soon be directly experimentally confirmed. By low energy, we mean (softly) broken supersymmetry with an effective soft Lagrangian whose mass parameters are typically of order the electroweak scale but otherwise not special or constrained.
** (2000). "The Supersymmetry Soft-breaking Lagrangian — Where Experiment and String Theory Meet". arXiv preprint hep-ph/0008190. (quote on pp. 2–3)
* Actually, the situation today is surprising to many because almost all the data are in, so to speak. ... The two big gaps are what particle(s) make up the dark matter, and whether there is electroweak-scale supersymmetry.

# Ibn Abdur Rehman

Ibn Abdur Rehman, also known as I.A. Rehman (1 September 1930– 12 April 2021) was a Pakistani peace and human rights advocate, and a veteran communist. A protégé of the great Urdu poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz, he became chief editor of the Pakistan Times newspaper in 1989. He was the founding chair of the Pakistan-India People's Forum for Peace and Democracy. He was also a director of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) since 1990, and a prominent human rights activist.

## Quotes

* The greatest irony about (the Quid's August 11 Speech) is that it is generally believed to have addressed only the minorities' rights. This is only partly true. The Quaid's words were directed at all citizens of Pakistan; the progress of the entire population depended on burying the past (communal politics). What he clearly meant was that discrimination against the minorities would impede Pakistan's progress. Thus, in Jinnah's Pakistan, the rights and interests of the minorties will be protected by the constitution and the law, not only as something due to them, but also as an insurance of the state's integrity.
** 14 August 2010, quoted in I. A Rehman's Dawn column, Quaid's views of minorities
* It should be interesting to find out why the Pakistani film industry has shown little interest in celebrating 100 years of filmmaking – 2013 marks the centenary of film production in Subcontinent and not of film exhibition that had started earlier. And this despite being invited by Indian filmmakers to partake of shared glory. One reason could be the muddled thinking about the Pakistani people's cultural heritage. If they reject the arts and literature produced in the Subcontinent before it was partitioned, they repudiate not only the legacy of the great Indo-Islamic culture, that grew over centuries, but also the poetry of Mir, Ghalib and Iqbal (who spent all his life as a citizen of India). If the cultural history of our people is supposed to have begun in 1947, then we have no cultural heritage worth the name.
** 27 June 2013, quoted I. A. Rehman's column in Daily Dawn, The Cinema centenary

## Quotes

* I want to tell everyone that no one will wait for the Maidan in Georgia. I want to remind you what the results of the Maidan were like for Ukraine. Then the Ukrainian authorities were actually appointed from the outside, first once, then twice, and as a result, the one who appointed the authorities from the outside did not take responsibility for the events that unfolded in Ukraine in the future. Until 2013, Ukraine was a state that had territorial integrity, with an economy of 2200 billion, and today the country has collapsed, the country's economy has shrunk qualitatively over so many years, 20% of the country's territories are occupied, tens of thousands of people have died, and who will take responsibility for this? No one is responsible for this. Accordingly, most of all, we must protect the country's independence, because no one else will take responsibility for protecting Georgia's interests. Best of all, the example of Ukraine showed us this, so we must take care of the independence of our country, the state.
