# Nicodemus of Tismana

Saint Nicodemus of Tismana was a Christian monk-scribe and translator who founded monasteries in Romania and Serbia. He is known for introducing hesychasm to Wallachia (Romania). He was one of the followers of St. Gregory of Sinai.

## Quotes about Nicodemus of Tismana

* Considered in its entirety, the work of Nikodimos represents an original synthesis between the hesychast movement imported from Mount Athos and the artistic and literary influences coming from Serbia. Contrary to the currents that supply the first literary school in Moldavia established at the monastery of Neamț by the monk Gabriel (1424–49), it stands apart from the Bulgarian tradition of the fourteenth century. Nikodimos’s relations with Patriarch Euthymius of Trnovo merely assume the character of an episode without profound implications for the life of his foundations.
** E. Turdeanu, ‘Les premiers écrivains religieux en Valachie: l’hégoumène Nicodème de Tismana et le moine Philothée’, in Turdeanu (ed.), Etudes de littérature roumaine et d’écrits slaves et grecs des principautés roumaines (Leiden: Brill, 1985), pp. 15–49 (pp. 36–7). English translation from Speake, Graham (2018). A history of the Athonite Commonwealth: the spiritual and cultural diaspora of Mount Athos. New York, pp. 147–8. ISBN 978-1-108-34922-2.
* A hesychast missionary in the spirit of St Gregory the Sinaite, whom he had known in his youth, St Nicodemus established his rule of life in the many communities founded by himself or his disciples in the three Romanian lands. Romanian monasticism thus owes to him its hesychastic orientation in the 14th century. The resulting cultural and spiritual blossoming was to continue, more or less without interruption, for the next three centuries.

## Quotes

* Science that abdicates its cultural values risks being perceived as an extension of technology, an instrument in the hands of political or economic power. Humanity that disavows science risks falling into the hands of superstition.
** Address to the Holy Father, in The cultural values of science, The Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Scripta Varia 105 (8-11 November 2002), page xiv
* Science is incapable of supplying answers to ultimate questions about why things exist and what their purpose is.

** 1945, to a crowd in Genoa, as quoted in Mussolini (2011) by R.J.B Bosworth, p. 511
* Long live Mussolini! Long live socialism!
** 28 April 1945, during execution at Dongo, as quoted in Heaven on Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism (2002) by Joshua Muravchik, p. 171

## Quotes about Nicola Bombacci

* I saw that it was this that tormented him the most: the attraction that fascism exercised upon the extreme left. He had been a teacher with Mussolini in a little Italian village, he knew him well and even while hating him liked him a little.

## Quotes

* There are writers who exist to confirm people's feelings about themselves and to make them feel comforted or not alone. That's the opposite to what I do. I'm presenting people with unacceptable or hostile characters, and my desire is to make them understood.

* Do not by any means allow yourself to open both ears to the slanderers and to draw your conclusions and decisions on the basis of what they alone have to say, and thereby judge the case in absentia without the presence of the person slandered to defend himself.

# Quantum chromodynamics

In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interactions, a fundamental force describing the interactions between quarks and gluons, which make up hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of quantum field theory called a non-abelian gauge theory with symmetry group SU(3). The QCD analog of electric charge is a property called color. Gluons are the force carrier of the theory, like photons are for the electromagnetic force in quantum electrodynamics. The theory is an important part of the Standard Model of particle physics.

## Quotes

* Will we ever derive the necessary mathematical tools to analytically demonstrate from first principles that confinement is indeed a mathematical property of quantum chromodynamics? This is the million-dollar question, literally. The Clay Mathematics Institute has announced a million-dollar prize for a rigorous mathematical proof that quantum chromodynamics does not allow free quarks or gluons to be produced. While no claimants to the prize have yet come forward, we nevertheless have strong indirect support of this idea, coming not only from experimental observations, but also from numerical simulations that closely approximate the complicated interactions in quantum chromodynamics. This is heartening, if not definitive. We still have to confirm that it is some property of the theory and not of the computer simulation. However, for physicists, if not mathematicians, this seems pretty convincing.

* Knowledge is a process, not a product.
* Man alone, during his brief existence on this earth, is free to examine, to know, to criticize, and to create. In this freedom lies his superiority over the forces that pervade his outward life. He is that unique organism in terms of matter and energy, space and time, which is urged to conscious purpose. Reason is his characteristic and indistinguishing principle. But man is only man -- and free -- when he considers himself as a total being in whom the unmediated whole of feeling and thought is not severed and who impugns any form of atomization as artificial, mischievous, and predatory.
# Ruth Ozeki

## Quotes

* We’re afraid of saying the word “suicide” and talking about it. Certainly the word suicide has a kind of energy that is frightening, and people can be afraid of talking about it. Why is it that we forget we were adolescents once? I don’t forget that. Writers need to keep that part alive in order to write. What’s important (for adolescents) is that you have a lifeline; it can be your friends, it can be your family, church, writing practice, a teacher, your cat, your gerbil. And little by little, the hormones subside and you develop coping skills and you develop passions and things that are really worth living for, and you get through that difficult period.
** On adolescents and suicidal thoughts in “Ruth Ozeki: Neither here nor there” in The Writer (2017 Feb 24)
* All through my childhood, I wanted to be a novelist. I stopped writing at various points because I would get frustrated because there were things I didn’t know how to do. I didn’t know how to move a story through time. Pacing. My character would enter a room and need to get across the room to the action, and I would walk her ploddingly across the room. I didn’t know how to move the plot along quickly and efficiently through time…
** On her initial struggles to become a novelist in “Ruth Ozeki: Neither here nor there” in The Writer (2017 Feb 24)
* As a writer you wait around for inspiration; this book is about what happens when a character taps a writer on the shoulder and calls her into being; it's about the character creating a novelist.
** On her book A Tale for the Time Being in “Ruth Ozeki: 'This book is about the character creating a novelist'” in The Guardian (2013 Mar 7)
* I lived most of my life feeling like an outsider. I remember in second grade being bullied, taunted and beaten up. I am bicultural, biracial – my mother is Japanese and my father is caucasian. I grew up in Connecticut; it was a fairly white culture and I grew up thinking I was Japanese. Then when I went to Japan I realised that I was American. That was shocking but also a wonderful completion, realising that I was neither here nor there but occupied some liminal space, neither in one culture or the other. That's a great vantage point.
