# Walther Rathenau

Walther Rathenau (September 29, 1867 – June 24, 1922) was a German industrialist, politician, writer, and statesman who served as Foreign Minister of Germany during the Weimar Republic. He was assassinated on June 24, 1922, two months after the signing of the Treaty of Rapallo.

## Quotes about Rathenau

* Rathenau advocated labor legislation as a first step toward more extensive change in society. [...] Rathenau’s program was not so dissimilar from that of a “New Deal” Democrat. Hayek apparently first read Rathenau when he was about seventeen.

* John limped on for about ten minutes. Suddenly he heard Mr. Mammon calling out to him. He stopped and turned round. ... 'What do you suppose they live on?' 'I never thought of that.' 'Every man of them earns his living by writing for me or having shares in my land. I suppose the "Clevers" is some nonsense they do in their spare time — when they're not beating up tramps,' and he glanced at John.

## Quotes

### Interview with Laura Yorke Reader's Digest (July 2006)

* I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment. My father, when very young, was the first American to be ordained as a Buddhist monk. He now teaches Indo-Tibetan studies at Columbia University and is regarded as this country's foremost authority on Buddhism. When the Dalai Lama comes to America, it's my father who is his host. When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however. But Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.
* I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.
* It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.
* Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.
* Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal.
* I had a very traditional background. My parents are neat people. I'm lucky to have been raised in the most beautiful place -- Amherst, Massachusetts, state of my heart. I'm more patriotic to Massachusetts than to almost any place.
* Because of [my father Robert Thurman, a former Tibetan Buddhist monk], I often get asked if I'm a Buddhist. I always say no, because I have such respect for the rigor of being a practicing religious person. I'm an actress and a mom, and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practice them.

# Zabel Yesayan

Zabel Yesayan (Armenian - Զապէլ Եսայեան), (4 February 1878 – 1943), was an Ottoman Armenian novelist, translator, and professor of literature.

## Quotes

* We are very aware that we are in the middle of a war. But we are still continuing our calm and monotonous lives.
** As quoted at the Women's Museum Istanbul
* When Ms Düsap heard that I was also about to embark on a literary career, Mrs. Düsap warned me that a crown of thorns rather than a crown of laurels awaited women on this road. In this world of ours it is not tolerated when a woman does well and claims a place for herself. In order to achieve this, it would be necessary for a woman to be far above average and she added: A man can be a merely average writer but a woman, never!
** "Pagavan E : Zabel Yesayan'ın Barış Çağrısını Duyabilmek"] ["Enough! : Being Able to Hear Zabel Yesayan's Call for Peace"] by Melissa Bilal, in Kültür ve Siyasette Feminist Yaklaşımlar [Feminist Approaches in Culture and Politics], Issue 7 (March 2009)
* All over the world, and quite independently of each other, there is a growing wish for peace. This idea travels around the world, growing stronger all the time and becomes one irresistable and universal ideal. This is the great hope of people who are weary and dissillusioned by wars between nations and social groups. Both the victors and the defeated need an end to hostilities. [...] Who destroys the seeds of past antagonisms in the tender mind of a child and prepares it for a bright, infinite peace of soul. It is of course the child's mother. [...] The backbone of the feminist movement in France is formed by the women who get together to achieve peace through education and this movement also determines the direction taken by feminist movements in other countries, with their various branches and supporters

### Taliban news conference (August 2021)

"Transcript of Taliban’s first news conference in Kabul" (August 17, 2021)
* We have expelled the foreigners and I would like to congratulate the whole nation on this. This is pride, not only for a limited number of people. This is a proud moment for the whole nation. This kind of pride is rare when it can be achieved. The whole nation, after the whole history of the nation and therefore, on the base of this I would like to congratulate the whole nation and I would like to welcome you. Freedom and independence seeking is a legitimate right of every nation. The Afghans also use their legitimate right after 20 years of struggle for freedom and for emancipating the country from occupation, this was our right and we achieved this right.
* We have pardoned anyone, all those who had fought against us. We don’t want to repeat any conflict anymore again. We want to do away with the factors for conflict. Therefore, the Islamic Emirate does not have any kind of hostility or animosity with anybody; animosities have come to an end and we would like to live peacefully. We don’t want any internal enemies and any external enemies.
* I would like to assure the international community, including the United States that nobody will be a harmed in Afghanistan. I would like to assure our neighbours, regional countries, we are not going to allow our territory to be used against anybody, any country in the world. So the whole global community should be assured that we are committed to these pledges that you will not be harmed in any way from our soil.
* We would also like to request the international community that we then recognise international boundaries and interactions. We should be treated accordingly. According to this framework, we do not want to have any problem with the international community, we’d like to act on the basis of our principles of our religion, of our culture, and we have given a lot of sacrifices. We have the right to act on the basis of our religious principles and rules and regulations, it’s of the right of Afghans.
* The issue of women is very important. The Islamic Emirate is committed to the rights of women within the framework of Sharia. Our sisters, our men have the same rights; they will be able to benefit from their rights. They can have activities in different sectors and different areas on the basis of our rules and regulations: educational, health and other areas. They are going to be working with us, shoulder to shoulder with us. The international community, if they have concerns, we would like to assure them that there’s not going to be any discrimination against women, but of course within the frameworks that we have. Our women are Muslim. They will also be happy to be living within our frameworks of Sharia.

## Quotes

# Zabulistan

Zabulistan (Persian: زابلستان, Zābulistān, Zābolistān, Zāwulistān or simply زابل Zābul, Pashto: زابل Zābəl), was a historical region in southern Afghanistan roughly corresponding to the modern provinces of Zabul and Ghazni.

## Quotes

* From Kapisa I travelled further west and after seven days arrived at the country of Zabulistan which its people call She-hu-lo-sa-t’a-na. The native are Hu people; the king and cavalry are Turks. The king, a nephew of the king of Kapisa, himself controls his tribe and the cavalry stationed in this country. It is not subject to other countries, not even his own uncle. Though the king and the chiefs are Turks, they highly revere the Three Jewels. There are many monasteries and monks. Mahayana Buddhism is practiced. There is a great Turkish chief called Sha-tuo-kan, who once a year lays out his gold and silver, which is much more than the king possesses. The dress, customs, and products of this land are similar to those of Kapisa, but the languages are different.

## Sourced

* I've been learning a lot about myself from reading about all the stuff I've been up to, not based on any form of truth. I lead a pretty boring life — I sit at home, I'm on the Internet, I eat cereal — that's a typical night for me. I read online about all the places I've been out partying and all the women I've been out partying with. I'm like, "Wow, I should probably go to that place. It sounds like fun. It sounds like I had a good time there." I'm kind of jealous of the life I'm supposedly leading.

* Leave for a while thy costly country seat; And, to be great indeed, forget The nauseous pleasures of the great: Make haste and come: Come, and forsake thy cloying store; Thy turret that surveys, from high, The smoke, and wealth, and noise of Rome; And all the busy pageantry That wise men scorn, and fools adore: Come, give thy soul a loose, and taste the pleasures of the poor.

* Sometimes 'tis grateful to the rich to try A short vicissitude, and fit of poverty: A savoury dish, a homely treat, Where all is plain, where all is neat, Without the stately spacious room, The Persian carpet, or the Tyrian loom, Clear up the cloudy foreheads of the great.

# Vacuum expectation value

In quantum field theory, the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of an operator is the operator's average (or expectation value) in the vacuum (i.e. in the quantum vacuum state). When explaining the concept of a VEV, physicists often cite the Casimir effect as an important example of an phenomenon resulting from the VEV of of an operator.

## Quotes

* I remember a lunch in which Schwinger began by saying to Weisskopf, “Now I will make you a world.” The “world” was written down on a few paper napkins, one of which I saved. In any event, one of the things that he said, which has stuck with me ever since, was that scalar particles were the only ones that could have nonvanishing vacuum expectation values. He then went on to say that if you couple one of these to a fermion $\Psi$ by a coupling of the form $\Phi {\overline {\Psi }}$$\Psi$, then this vacuum expectation value would act like a fermion mass. This sort of coupling is how mass generation is done in principle for the fermions. All particles in this picture would acquire their masses from the vacuum.
** Jeremy Bernstein, (January 2011)"A question of mass". American Journal of Physics 79 (1): 25–31. DOI:10.1119/1.3487939. (quote from p. 30)
* A new conceptual foundation for renormalizing T$_{μν}$ on locally flat space-time—to obtain the so-called Casimir effect—is presented. The Casimir ground state is viewed locally as a (nonvacuum) state on Minkowski space-time and the expectation value of the normal-ordered T$_{μν}$ is taken. The same ideas allow us to treat, for the first time, self-interacting fields for arbitrary mass in perturbation theory—using traditional flat-space-time renormalization theory. First-order results for zero-mass λφ$^4$ theory agree with those recently announced by Ford. We point out the crucial role played by the simple renormalization condition that the vacuum expectation value of T$_{μν}$ must vanish in Minkowski space-time, and in a critical discussion of other approaches, we clarify the question of renormalization ambiguities for T$_{μν}$ in curved space-times.
** Bernard S. Kay (1979). "Casimir effect in quantum field theory". Physical Review D 20 (12): 3052–3062.
* Vacuum expectation values of products of neutral scalar field operators are discussed. The properties of these distributions arising from Lorentz invariance, the absence of negative energy states and the positive definiteness of the scalar product are determined. The vacuum expectation values are shown to be boundary values of analytic functions. Local commutativity of the field is shown to be equivalent to a symmetry property of the analytic functions. The problem of determining a theory of a neutral scalar field given its vacuum expectation values is posed and solved.

# Louis Billot

Louis Billot (1846– 1931) was a French Jesuit priest and theologian. He became a cardinal in 1911 and resigned from that status in 1927, the only person to do so in the twentieth century.[1] While largely unknown in the modern age, he was nonetheless considered "the most important Thomistic speculative theologian of the late nineteenth century."
