# Lone Star (1996 film)

Lone Star is a 1996 film about a sheriff who, after the skeleton of his murdered predecessor is found, unearths many other long-buried secrets in his Texas border town.
    Directed and written by John Sayles.

## Sheriff Sam Deeds

* You oughta put up a banner: "Frontera, Texas: gateway to inexpensive pussy."
* No telling yet if there's been a crime, but this country's seen a fair amount of disagreements over the years.

## Pilar Cruz

* All my mother does is work. That's how you get to be Spanish.
* All that other stuff, all that history? To hell with it, right? Forget the Alamo.

## Otis Payne

* It's not like there's a line between the good people and the bad people. It is not like you're one or the other.

## Wesley Birdsong

* Hell, at my age, you learn a new name you gotta forget an old one.

## Dialogue

    Mickey: Think her family's gonna be okay that you're a white guy?
    Sgt. Cliff: They think any woman over 30 who isn't married is a lesbian. She figures, they'll be so relieved that I'm a man...
    Mickey: Yeah, it's always heartwarming to see a prejudice defeated by a deeper prejudice.
    Bartender: I'm as liberal as the next guy.
    Sheriff Sam Deeds: If the next guy is a redneck.
    Chucho Montoya: You're the sheriff of Rio County, right? Un jefe mui respectado. [drawing a line in the sand] Step across this line. You're not the sheriff of nothing anymore, just some tejano with a lot of questions I don't have to answer. A bird flying south, you think he sees this line? Rattlesnake? Javelina? Whatever you got. You think halfway across that line they start thinking different? Why should a man?
    Sheriff Sam Deeds: Your government's always been pretty happy to have that line, the question's just been where to draw it.
    Chucho Montoya: My government can go fuck itself, and so can yours! I'm talking about people here. Men.
    Sheriff Sam Deeds: Mrs. Bledsoe?
    Minnie Bledsoe: That's me.
    Sheriff Sam Deeds: I'm Sheriff Deeds.
    Minnie Bledsoe: Sheriff Deeds is dead, honey. You just Sheriff Junior.
    Sheriff Sam Deeds: Yeah, that's the story of my life.
    Coworker: Your mother's family is Spanish?
    Pilar Cruz: Sure, they go back to Cortés. When he rode by, they were squatting in a hut cooking hamsters for dinner.

# Lone pair

In chemistry, a lone pair is a valence electron pair which is not shared with another atom and is sometimes called a non-bonding pair.

## Quotes

* Valence electrons that are not used for bonding are called lone-pair electrons, or nonbonding electrons. … As a time-saving shorthand, nonbonding electrons are often omitted when drawing line-bond structures, but you still have to keep them in mind since they’re often crucial in chemical reactions.

* The gods of one age become the devils of the age to follow. The priests look forward to the age to come and see only the end of the world.
** Chapter 4
* It is the profoundest of cosmic ironies. The divine power, our true spiritual essence, does not achieve perfection until it hits the ‘rock’ bottom of the cosmos – the dense and crude earth. It remains imperfect until the moment of entombment for the simple reason that until that dark nadir is reached the experiential adventure of existence remains incomplete, and Self is not yet endowed with the entire spectrum of the light of consciousness – from spirit to matter – from the highest high to the lowest low.
** Chapter 3
* Religion exalts mystery as an unknowable secret that must be sealed in glass like the corpse of an enchanted princess and fearfully worshipped from afar. Initiation, on the other hand, requires direct participation and demands each of us to smash the casket and press mad lips to mystery, wooing her as a lover who will offer up her treasurers in a succession of sweet surrenders. This she will do, but only in exact ratio to our evolving ability and worthiness to receive them.

## Quotes

* There is no way you will lose weight and not feel more confident. You will definitely feel happier and healthier. You will feel sexier, people will commend you, saying nice things about you. You will definitely feel more confident. All that work together. It is not rocket science, once the weight starts going down you will see reactions from people. The fact that you can work into a shop and see your size there is amazing. You don’t have to buy what you see but what you like, all that come together to build up your confidence. The more confident you feel, the more love you feel towards yourself.
** An inspiration for her weight loss
* Well, I think loving whom you are on the inside is the most important thing I have learnt. Considering what I have been through these couple of years and the challenges I have faced, I have realised the importance of being beautiful from within.

## Quotes

* The Hindu creed is monotheistic and of very high ethical value; and when I look back on my life in India and the thousands of good friends I have left there among all classes of the native community, when I remember those honorable, industrious, orderly, law-abiding, sober, manly men, I look over England and wonder whether there is anything in Christianity which can give a higher ethical creed than that which is now professed by the large majority of the people of India. I do not see it in London society, I do not see it in the slums of the East End, I do not see it on the London Stock Exchange. I think that the morality of India will compare very favorably with the morality of any country in Western Europe.

# Leoš Janáček

Leoš Janáček (1854 – 1928) was a Czech composer.

## Quotes

* The melodic curves of speech are an expression of the complete organism and of all phases of its spiritual activities. They demonstrate whether a man is stupid or intelligent, sleepy or awake, tired or alert. They tell us whether he is a child or an old man, whether it is morning or evening, light or darkness, heat or frost, and disclose whether a person is alone or in company. The art of dramatic writing is to compose a melodic curve that will, as if by magic, reveal immediately a human being in one definite phase of his existence.

# Intellectual history

Intellectual history refers to the study of the history of human thought.

## Quotes

* One of the present values of the past is as a repository of values we no longer endorse, of questions we no longer ask. One corresponding role for the intellectual historian is that of acting as a kind of archaeologist, bringing buried intellectual treasure back to the surface, dusting it down and enabling us to consider what we think of it.
** Quentin Skinner, Liberty Before Liberalism (1998), p. 112.
* It is remarkably difficult to avoid falling under the spell of our own intellectual heritage. As we analyse and reflect on our normative concepts, it is easy to become bewitched into believing that the ways of thinking about them bequeathed to us by the mainstream of our intellectual traditions must be the ways of thinking about them. … The history of philosophy, and perhaps especially of moral, social and political philosophy, is there to prevent us from becoming too readily bewitched. The intellectual historian can help us to appreciate how far the values embodied in our present way of life, and our present ways of thinking about those values, reflect a series of choices made at different times between different possible worlds. This awareness can help to liberate us from the grip of any one hegemonal account of those values and how they should be interpreted and understood. Equipped with a broader sense of possibility, we can stand back from the intellectual commitments we have inherited and ask ourselves in a new spirit of enquiry what we should think of them.
** Quentin Skinner, Liberty Before Liberalism (1998), pp. 116-117.
* “Our ideas” are only partly our ideas. Most of our ideas are abbreviations or residues of the thought of other people, of our teachers (in the broadest sense of the term) and of our teachers’ teachers; they are abbreviations and residues of the thought of the past. These thoughts were once explicit and in the center of consideration and discussion. It may even be presumed that they were once perfectly lucid. By being transmitted to later generations they have possibly been transformed, and there is no certainty that the transformation was effected consciously and with full clarity. … This means that the clarification of our political ideas insensibly changes into and becomes indistinguishable from the history of political ideas.
** Leo Strauss, What is Political Philosophy? (1959), p. 73.
# Intelligence quotient

An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a metric to measure human intelligence.

## Quotes

* Eager to measure human minds, Terman plunged into intelligence testing soon after he arrived at Stanford. The original intelligence test had been designed five years earlier by French psychologist Alfred Binet as a tool to identify "slow" children needing special help. Terman and his Stanford colleagues translated Binet's test, adapted the content for U.S. schools, set new age norms and standardized the distribution of scores so that the mean score would always be 100. Terman called the new version the Stanford-Binet test. With questions ranging from mathematical problems to vocabulary items, the Americanized test was supposed to capture "general intelligence," an innate mental capability that Terman felt was as measurable as height and weight. As a hardcore hereditarian, he believed that genetics alone dictated one's level of general intelligence. This vital constant, which he called an "original endowment," wasn't altered by education or home environment or hard work, he maintained. To denote it, he selected the term "intelligence quotient."

## Quotes

* First of all, an Oblate has to be an Oblate. I mean he has to be an Oblate in the true sense of the word. In a French encyclopedia in the late 19th century the Oblates were defined as “Jésuites des campagnes” or the “countryside Jesuits”. They go to the peripheries. I think that is their characteristic. For example, I saw in Thailand how much the Oblates are reaching out to the poor; the poor that others neglect. That is your identity. That is why I said, an Oblate should be an Oblate.

## Quotes
### "A Transvestite Answers a Feminist" (2006)

"A Transvestite Answers a Feminist" in The Transgender Studies Reader (2006), Routledge Press.
* I challenge any person who will not admit this in themselves, such as “the woman who relies on a closet full of funny, expensive clothing or makeup and lacquered hairdos”, because I could never be that...that which I was supposed to be...and I refuse to be identified with a woman like that. I CAN’T BE! My older sister is inferior to a transvestite becuz she can’t relax, she’s trying so hard to deny her inner humanity and free-ness, to bottle up any susceptibility to feelings—while a transvestite at the very least, admits to himself his inner life and feelings, and, at the most, if he comes out, he’s left wide open for rejection by family and friends, physical harm, denial of use of public and private facilities, easy prey for others to try and fuck his head over by saying he’s sick, etc.,—all for the sake of relaxing with themselves, being free and open and alive. You ask him to come alive to the world so the world can kill him.
** p. 161
* The reason “FAGS” have deep and painful personality problems is cuz people like you “realize (!) they are neurotic and isolating.” And then you ask them to mold their own lives! The people in Rechy have a hell of a lot more will than any straight—the will to say fuck you to all the assholes who hate them so intensely, to say fuck you to the world of people who think they’re sick and say fuck you, I’m ME . . . a lot more will than anyone else. But you say they just “seem generally to react resentfully to situations rather than mold their own lives.” Where do you mold a life for yourself when all you do is battle oppressions day in and day out? Where does a black begin to mold his own life when he’s alone among 200 KKKs, or a woman in a room with 50 men gawking at her tits and ass. They start at the bottom, that’s where!! They band together and say fuck you everybody this is me and I’m good.
** p. 161
* I’m not a lesbian. I don’t want to be either. I’ve always thought of myself as a male homosexual (try and figure that one out—I can’t)... I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for transvestite and gay men becuz they seemed to me to be the most beautiful inside—the most able to abandon stereotypes which, for men, I think, is a lot harder. I think they are one group that knows better than anyone that there’s no difference between men and women... But I’m not trying to deny my “femininity”, Dorothy, I’m just trying to sneak up on it thru the back door. The front door Avon lady approach didn’t even work. I’d like to get the best of both worlds . . . what I’m trying to do now is find out how to get them.
