"‘Africa is on the frontlines but not the front pages’: Vanessa Nakate on her climate fight." by Nina Lakhani. Sat 17 Sep 2022 08.09 BST. Retrieved 08 November 2022.
* I’ve always said that climate change is more than statistics, it’s more than weather, but in Turkana I really got to understand those words.
* Many people are calling it an African Cop but it won’t be an African Cop if the communities, the activists are not there.
* Having dominion over the Earth is about responsibility and service to the planet and its people, because God is not a God of waste and exploitation.
* It’s people and stories like this we really need to listen to.
* Across the continent many activists are doing incredible work, and there were many before us and the climate strikes in 2018. When the focus is just on one person it erases other experiences and stories. The solution is not to put faces on the climate movement, it has millions of people who are doing incredible work and organizing in their communities.
* It hasn’t rained for two years. To experience what that means in a community, to see how much people are suffering and how much help they need, I really got to see how the climate crisis is affecting so many lives and destroying so many livelihoods, and that it’s mostly women and children who are suffering the most.
* Africa is on the frontlines of the climate crisis but it’s not on the front pages of the world’s newspapers. Every activist who speaks out is telling a story about themselves and their community, but if they are ignored, the world will not know what’s really happening, what solutions are working. The erasure of our voices is literally the erasure of our histories and what people hold dear to their lives.
* There are people who are looking for answers to a question that needs to be answered through much needed reparations and responsibility from the global north.
* My advice would be that, even as we do activism, we prioritize ourselves, we prioritize our lives, we prioritize our mental health, because the very planet that we are fighting for will need us to exist as well.
* We can only better take care of the planet when we are also doing well. As we advocate and fight for climate justice, it’s really important that young people really prioritize their mental health and their own self care, to find out, what is self care to them?
* We need to move beyond dialogues because with every dialogue there is a child dying, with every dialogue there is a family migrating looking for sources of water and looking for food, for every dialogue people continue to suffer.

## Quotes

* I learned a lot that night […] That when people vanish into thin air; that when you can’t find someone, it’s because you’ve been misdirected to look elsewhere.
** Prologue, Pages 1-2
* You can’t exist in this world without leaving a piece of yourself behind.”
** Part 1, Page 5
* Me—a tomboy who spent hours in the company of boys pretending to be a swashbuckling privateer, or an archeologist searching for relics, a girl who had only once been the damsel in distress, and even then had rescued herself—I had written only a single wild wish. One day, I’d written, I will be a mother.”
** Part 1, Page 18.
* That people don't vanish into thin air; that when you can't find someone, it's because you've been misdirected to look elsewhere.
** Page 2.
* triumverate; as adults, we are still remarkably close. In fact, Fitz will be pulling double
** Page 9.
* .But a witness is defined through what he sees, not what he says. And just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true.
** IPage 60.
* It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.
** Page 102.
* Sometimes, when you don't ask questions, it's not because you are afraid that someone will lie to your face. It's because you're afraid they'll tell you the truth.
** Page 102.
* Love is the most dangerous craving of all, if you ask me. It turns us into people we aren't. It makes us feel like hell, and makes us walk on water. It ruins us for anything else.
** Page 139.
* Memories aren't stored in the heart or the head or even the soul, if you ask me, but in the spaces between any given two people.
** Page 283.
* Recollections are in the eye of the beholder; no two held up side by side will ever quite match.
** Page 497.
* What if it turns out that a life isn't defined by who you belong to or where you came from, by what you wished for or whom you've lost, but instead by the moments you spend getting from each of these places to the next?
** Page 525.

# Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh is a state in northern India. Abbreviated as UP, it is the most populous state in the Republic of India as well as the most populous country subdivision in the world. The state is bordered by Rajasthan to the west, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi to the northwest, Uttarakhand and Nepal to the north, Bihar to the east, Madhya Pradesh to the south, and touches the states of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh to the southeast.
Its capital and largest city is Lucknow. Its official languages are Hindi and Urdu. Its current Governor is Anandiben Patel, its current Chief Minister is Yogi Adityanath, and its current State Legislature is currently controlled by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance. The state's area was historically the center of the Maurya Empire, the Harsha Empire, the Gupta Empire, the Pala Empire, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire.

## Quotes

* In the 80's Ashish Bose had coined the term BiMaRU, for the four states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, owing to their abysmal socio-economic indicators. Since then Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have catapulted themselves out of the status of being diseased or BiMaRU. Bihar seemed right on track once, to come out of it, but now looks trapped again in the chakravyuh of kidnapping, nepotism and failed law and order with the re-entry of Lalu Prasad Yadav in Bihar politics. The state of Uttar Pradesh was, however, still screaming for development and the SP & BSP have failed miserably to live up to the mandate of the people of Uttar Pradesh for the last 15 years. Even without access to all these macro data and facts, the people of Uttar Pradesh daily lived and observed the pathetic condition of their state. They heard 'Kam Bolta Hai' rhetoric in Akhilesh Yadav's rallies, but while going back home from the rally, they faced bad roads, bad traffic, lawlessness, lack of electricity in their houses, corruption in the process for government jobs selection and no future for their children. It is evident that when the people of Uttar Pradesh voted for BJP, they have voted for aspirations, for a better future for their children and for a prosperous Uttar Pradesh. New Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has huge expectations to fulfill.

The uterus is a hormone-responsive sex organ that contains glands in its lining that secrete uterine milk for embryonic nourishment.

## Quotes

* Thou art he who createst the man-child in woman, who makest seed in man, who giveth life to the son in the body of his mother, who soothest him that he may not weep, a nurse [even] in the womb.
** Great Hymn to the Aten (tr. J. H. Breasted)
* But thou art he that took me out of the womb: Thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb: Thou art my God from my mother's belly.
** Psalm 22, 9–10 (KJV)
*** The Hebrew word is רחם (rechem)
* Our mothers’ wombs the tyring-houses be Where we are drest for this short comedy:
** Sir Walter Raleigh, in Orlando Gibbons’ First Set of Madrigals (1612)
*** Tiring-houses = dressing-rooms.
* Your brother and his lover have embraced: As those that feed grow full, as blossoming time That from the seedness the bare fallow brings To teeming foison, even so her plenteous womb Expresseth his full tilth and husbandry.
** Shakespeare, Measure for Measure, I, iv.
* A prettie rysing wombe without a weame, That shone as bright as anie siluer streame; And bare out like the bending of an hill, At whose decline a fountaine dwelleth still;A pretty rising womb without a wenn, That shine[s] as bright as any crystal gem, And bears out like the rising of a hill, At whose decline the[re] runs a fountain still,
** Thomas Nashe, The Choise of Valentines, 107–110.
*** Weame, wenne = Wem, spot or blemish.
* And Venus, thou, with timely seed, Which may their after-comforts breed, Inform the gentle womb; Nor let it prove a tomb: But, ere ten moons be wasted, The birth, by Cynthia hasted. So may they both, ere day, Rise perfect every way.
** Ben Jonson, "Epithalamium", in The Masque of Hymen (1616)
* To Eve's womb, from our sweet to-morrow, God shall greatly multiply sorrow.
** D. G. Rossetti, "Eden Bower", in Poems (1870); revised in Poems. A New Edition (1881)

### The Supreme Yoga, 2003

Swami Venkatesananda The Supreme Yoga, 2003.</ref>
* Prayer:
       Salutations to that reality in which all the elements, and all the animate and inanimate beings shine as if they have an independent existence, and in which they exist for a time and into which they merge.
       Salutations to that consciousness which is the source of the apparently distinct threefold divisions of knower, knowledge and known, seer, sight and seen, doer, doing and deed.
       Salutations to that bliss absolute (the ocean of bliss) which is the life of all beings whose happiness and unfoldment is derived from the shower of spray from that ocean of bliss.
   * p. xvi
   * Content: Contentment is the supreme gain. Satsangh (true friends) are the best companion to the destination. The spirit of enquiry itself is the greatest wisdom. And, self-control is the supreme happiness.

# Walter Dornberger

Major-General Dr Walter Robert Dornberger (September 6, 1895 - June 27, 1980) was a German army officer whose career spanned World Wars I and II. During the 1930s and 40s, he directed Germany's rocket and missile programmes, which culminated in the V-2 rocket.

* The history of technology will record that for the first time a machine of human construction, a five-and-a-half-ton missile, covered a distance of a hundred and twenty miles with a lateral deflection of only two and a half miles from the target. Your names, my friends and colleagues, are associated with this achievement. We did it with automatic control. From the artilleryman's point of view, the creation of the rocket as a weapon solves the problem of the weight of heavy guns. We are the first to have given a rocket built on the principles of aircraft construction a speed of thirty-three hundred miles per hour by means of rocket propulsion. Acceleration throughout the period of propulsion was no more than five times that of gravity, perfectly normal for maneuvering of aircraft. We have thus proved that it is quite possible to build piloted missiles or aircraft to fly at supersonic speed, given the right form and suitable propulsion. Our automatically controlled and stabilized rocket has reached heights never touched by any man-made machine. Since the tilt was not carried to completion our rocket today reached a height of nearly sixty miles. We have thus broken the world altitude record of twenty-five miles previously held by the shell fired from the now almost legendary Paris Gun. The following points may be deemed of decisive significance in the history of technology: we have invaded space with our rocket and for the first time--mark this well--have used space as a bridge between two points on the earth; we have proved rocket propulsion practicable for space travel. To land, sea, and air may now be added infinite empty space as an area of future intercontinental traffic, thereby acquiring political importance. This third day of October, 1942, is the first of a new era in transportation, that of space travel. . . . So long as the war lasts, our most urgent task can only be the rapid perfection of the rocket as a weapon. The development of possibilities we cannot yet envisage will be a peacetime task. Then the first thing will be to find a safe means of landing after the journey through space...
** Dornberger, Walter (1952 -- US translation V-2 Viking Press:New York, 1954). V2--Der Schuss ins Weltall. Esslingan: Bechtle Verlag. pp. p17,236.
* On August 8, 1944, when Himmler appointed SS General Kammler Commissioner General for the A-4 program, it looked as though the struggle for control had come to an end. I felt like a man who has devoted years of toil and affection to making a superb violin, a masterpiece which needs only tuning, and who then has to look on helplessly while the instrument is grabbed by a tough, unmusical woodman and scraped with a jagged lump of wood.
# Walter Eugene Clark

Walter Eugene Clark (September 8, 1881 – September 30, 1960), was an American philologist. He was the second Wales Professor of Sanskrit at Harvard University and editor of the volumes 38-44 of the Harvard Oriental Series. He translated the Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata with critical notes which was published in 1930, by the University of Chicago Press.

## Quotes

* Panini's grammar is the earliest scientific grammar in the world, the earliest extant grammar of any language, and one of the greatest ever written. It was the discovery of Sanskrit by the West, at the end of the 18th century, and the study of Indian methods of analyzing language that revolutionized our study of language and grammar, and gave rise to our science of comparative philology... The study of language in India was much more objective and scientific than in Greece or Rome.

* Indians were a people who were capable of making the Iron Pillar of Delhi and the Sultanganj copper colossus of Buddha, and of hewing out blocks of sandstone 50 feet long and 4 feet square, carving them into a perfect roundness, givlllg them a wonderful polish whIch cannot be duplicated even today, and transporting them over distances of several hundred miles, must have attained considerable proficiency in metallurgy and engineering.

# Walter Eucken

Walter Eucken (17 January 1891 – 20 March 1950) was a German economist of the Freiburg school and father of ordoliberalism. His name is closely linked with the development of the concept of "social market economy".

## Quotes about Eucken

* Walter Eucken was a valuable friend for me. In the late 1930s, before the outbreak of the war, when I first acquired a car and made the trip from London to Austria by automobile, I regularly made a stopover in Freiburg just to visit Eucken and to keep in touch with him. Although Eucken had little time left in which to take part in our efforts to defend liberalism, our contacts later had an important consequence.

# Wendy Williams

## Quotes

* PETA has proven that there is a sexy way to suggest to people to rethink the fur. … As a former fur wearer, I must say that I have not really given fur any thought for a good seven years. I don't really think that fur is the mark of success anymore. As a decent person, with compassion, it just seems like the right thing to support. What I would have to say to people that currently wear fur, I’d softly suggest to keep your mind open and do your research.

* Remember Milo's end, Wedged in that timber which he strove to rend.
** Line 87.
