# Richard Holt Hutton

Richard Holt Hutton (2 June 1826 – 9 September 1897) was an English journalist of literature and religion.

## Quotes

* We believe that to the great body of the reading public the name of George Boole first became known, if indeed it has yet become known, through the announcement of his death; the announcement being accompanied in a few of the papers by a brief sketch of his life and works. Boole's researches were not of a nature to be appreciated by the multitude, and he never condescended to those arts by which less gifted men have won for themselves while living a more splendid reputation.
** R.H. Hutton, "Professor Boole," in: The British Quarterly Review. (1866), p. 141
* When a great politician dies, or any man who has filled a large space in the public mind, and made a noise in the world, the newspapers long ring with the event. But it is otherwise with the great thinker, the mathematician or the philosopher, who has laboured silently and in comparative seclusion, to extend the boundaries of human knowledge. When such a man is removed by death there are public journals, even among those professedly devoted to literature and science, which can dismiss the event with a few faint and cold remarks.* But time rectifies all that. It is found sooner or later that no reputation, however brilliant, is permanent or durable which does not rest on useful discoveries and real contributions to our knowledge.
** R.H. Hutton, "Professor Boole," in: The British Quarterly Review. (1866), p. 141
* [ John Henry Newman's earlier poems are ] unequalled for grandeur of outline, purity of taste and radiance of total effect.
** R.H. Hutton; cited in: Hugh Chisholm. The Encyclopaedia Britannica: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature and General Information, Volume 19, (1911), p. 519

# Terry Brooks

## Quotes

* There is nothing wrong with crying. Your feelings tell you who are. They tell what is important. Don't ever be ashamed of them.
** Armageddon's Children
* If you are always frightened for yourself you can't act, and then life loses its purpose. You just have to tell yourself that, when you get right down to it, you don't matter all that much.
** The Elf Queen Of Shannara
* Let me tell you something you haven’t learned yet, something you learn only by living awhile. As you get older, you find that life begins to wear you down. Doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, it happens. Experience, time, events—they all conspire against you to steal away your energy, to erode your confidence, to make you question things you wouldn’t have given a second thought to when you were young. It happens gradually, a chipping away that you don’t even notice at first, and then one day it’s there. You wake up and you just don’t have the fire anymore.
** The Elf Queen Of Shannara
* We are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, and no amount of education gleaned from our propensity for self-destruction and misguided thinking ever teaches us anything. Not anything that we remember for more than a generation or two.
** Bearers of the Black Staff
* What we have in life that we can count on is who we are and where we come from... For better or worse, that is what we have to sustain us in our endeavors, to buttress us in our darker moments, and to remind us of our identity. Without those things, we are adrift.
** A Knight of the Word
* You spend so much time wondering who you are, don't you think? You flounder about, searching for your identity, when most of the time it is plain as the nose on your face. You struggle with questions of purpose and need, and forget that the answers are found mostly inside yourselves.
** The Tangle Box

### The Sword of Shannara
#### Chapter 2

* You think that Man can start again, do you, Shea? Well you might be quite surprised to learn that some things never change, and that the dangers of power are always present, even to a race that almost obliterated itself.
* “If you think that Man is free to build a new life while the rest of the world drifts by, then you do not know anything of history!”

### The Scions Of Shannara

* The trick of course was not to go just anywhere, but to go where they might accomplish something useful.
** Chapter 6
* What you need to do is take control of things. Don't wait for events to catch up with you; go and meet them head-on!

# Terry Glavin

Terry Glavin (born 1955) is a Canadian author and journalist. He is a reporter for the Ottawa Citizen.

## Quotes

* Canada harbours its own disgraceful legacy. Down through the decades, scores of federal and provincial laws isolated, dispossessed and ghettoized one racial or ethnic minority after another. Asians weren't allowed to vote in Canada until the late 1940s; federally-registered Indians had to wait until 1960... For Canada’s young Aboriginal people, it’s not clear that the arc of the moral universe is even bending in their direction at all.
** "Canadians have no reason to be smug about race" (November 2014), The Ottawa Citizen
* Chinese people have no recourse to anything like an independent judiciary. The Communist Party decides if you’re guilty or innocent. The conviction rate stands in excess of 98 per cent. Torture and forced confessions are commonplace. Xi has lately embarked on a vicious campaign of harassment and intimidation of workers’ rights activists, ethnic and religious minorities, and feminists. Scores of human rights lawyers have been rounded up and jailed.
** Speaking about the judicial system of China, "China is no Friend to Canada" (2017), MacLeans
* In these impoverished conditions, it's much easier for journalists to construe events in such a way as to uphold an ideologically rigid "narrative" than to go about the hard work of building true stories from the construction material of hard facts.
** Terry Glavin. "The year of the graves: How the world’s media got it wrong on residential school graves", National Post, 26 May 2022
* There is something very strange and new and different that is occupying all the places where the left used to be and so these stories, it didn't really matter that they weren't true but they were weaponized, if you like, in this narrative about Canada as an irredeemably racist white colonial apartheid settler state.
** "The Great Canadian Mass Graves Hoax" (at 37m50s), Honestly with Bari Weiss, 22 September 2022.
* What I worry about is that the truth doesn't matter, and I think this is something that has changed from 20 years ago, it's not just that the truth doesn't matter anymore, it's that it doesn't matter that the truth doesn't matter anymore. [...] I also think that people really do want some kind of an honest assessment of things that are important. Of something grounded in fact. I think that is something that is actually necessary for a liberal democracy to function.
** "The Great Canadian Mass Graves Hoax" (at 53m3s), Honestly with Bari Weiss, 22 September 2022.
* I think we have to make a very important distinction between belief and knowledge. And this is something that I think is lost these days, particularly in the news media. There's actually a difference between (and we should draw attention to it when it's transgressed) [...] what we know [and] what we're expected to believe, or told to believe.

# Pieter Geyl

Pieter Catharinus Arie Geyl (15 December 1887, Dordrecht – 31 December 1966, Utrecht) was a Dutch historian, well known for his studies in early modern Dutch history and in historiography.

## Quotes

* History can reach no unchallengeable conclusions on so many-sided a character, on a life so dominated, so profoundly agitated, by the circumstances of the time. For that I bear history no grudge. To expect from history those final conclusions, which may perhaps be obtained in other disciplines, is, in my opinion, to misunderstand its nature.
** Napoleon For and Against (1949), p. 15
* [I]t is the historian's task to deal with the individual in relation to the community. Furthermore his task is a very different one from that of the novelist. Though the historian cannot do without imagination, he remains tied to the event, to data, to testimonies, and he lacks the omniscience which enables the poet to plumb his characters to the most secret places of their hearts.
** Napoleon For and Against (1949), p. 181

## Quotes about Pieter Geyl

* In October 1944, just as the Netherlands was being liberated from the Nazis, the great Dutch historian Pieter Geyl completed one of the most original books of the many tens of thousands about Napoleon which have appeared over the past 215 years. Its originality lay not in Geyl's own view of Napoleon (though the book certainly made plain what he thought of him) but in its recounting of the views of others, and in the way it traced the different phases of Napoleon's reputation between 1815 and his own time.
** Andrew Roberts, Napoleon the Great (2014), p. xxx
# Pies

Pies are baked dishes which are usually made of a pastry dough casing that completely contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients. Sweet pies may be filled with fruit (as in an apple pie), nuts (pecan pie), brown sugar (sugar pie) or sweetened vegetables (rhubarb pie). Savoury pies may be filled with meat (as in a steak pie or a Jamaican patty), eggs and cheese (quiche) or a mixture of meat and vegetables (pot pie).

## Quotes

* PIE, n. An advance agent of the reaper whose name is Indigestion.
** Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary (1911).
* He that hath eaten a bear-pie, will always smell of the garden.
** James Howell, English Proverbs (1659).
* Our Transatlantic cousins are very fond of apple-pie. It is consumed to a large extent all over the country. Not raised apple-pie; but flat, and with a paste that is invariably very coarse and indigestible. You have a triangular-shaped slice put on your plate, and (in some parts of America) if you do not want to be singular you will eat it with a bit of cheese, Yorkshire fashion. As an American lady once graphically put it: "Apple-pie without cheese Is like a kiss without a squeeze."
** Walter Gore Marshall, Through America: Or, Nine Months in the United States (1882), p. 99.
* On the independence of irrelevant alternatives: Morgenbesser, ordering dessert, is told by the waitress that he can choose between apple pie and blueberry pie. He orders the apple pie. Shortly thereafter, the waitress comes back and says that cherry pie is also an option; Morgenbesser says "In that case I'll have the blueberry pie."
** Sidney Morgenbesser, in William Poundstone, Gaming the vote: why elections aren't fair (and what we can do about it), p. 50, ISBN 0-8090-4893-0.
* If you have goals and the stick-with-it-ness to make things happen, people will feel threatened by you, especially if your goals don’t include them. They believe that if you take a piece of pie, then that leaves less pie for them. Seeing you follow your dreams leaves them realizing that they’re not following theirs. In truth, there is unlimited pie for everyone!
** RuPaul, Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style, HarperCollins, 2 February 2010, p. 6
* No man's pie is freed From his ambitious finger.
** William Shakespeare, Henry VIII (c. 1613), Buckingham, scene i.
* There may be "pie in the sky when you die" but how the pie is dished out on the ground has considerable existential relevance.
** Eric Wolf, Europe and the People Without History, Preface (1997), p. x.
* The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.
** E. B. White, in Harper's Magazine (December 1940), and reprinted in his One Man's Meat (1942). Widely misattributed to Edward Young.

# Pietro Aretino

Pietro Aretino (20 April 1492 – 21 October 1556) was an Italian author, playwright, poet and satirist.

## Quotes

* I am a free man, I do not need to copy Petrarch or Boccaccio. My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, without artifice, I go to work and earn my living, my well-being, and my fame. What do I need more? With a goose quill and a few sheets of paper I mock the universe.
** Quoted in H. H. Plumb, The Horizon Book of the Renaissance, 1961, also quoted in Dictionary of Quotations, p. 29
* What evil is there in seeing a man possess a woman? Why, the beasts would be more free than we! It seems to me that that which is given us by nature for our own preservation ought to be worn round the neck as a pendant and in the hat for a medal.

### Sunday Times interview (1980)

    "I'm just the dumb blonde with the jewellery!" by Jani Allan, from the Just Jani column of the Sunday Times (1980), republished in Face Value by Jani Allan.
* When I send up the verkramptes, I am always sending up the verkrampte ghosts in me. But I never poke fun at people - it's their ATTITUDES that I find funny. Some of them seem to have their scripts all mixed up.
* Soon censorship will become a luxury of the past. When I recently spoke to an okie connected with the censor board about why 'Mad Max' wasn't banned, his reply was that the youth of today must get used to violence as that will soon be their way of life! It's a sobering thought.

## Quotes

* What you (Greenlandic Inuits) were subjected to (Greenlandic Inuits who were removed from their families and taken to Copenhagen more than 70 years ago as part of an experiment to create a Danish-speaking elite) was terrible. It was inhumane. It was unfair. And it was heartless. We (Government of Denmark) can take responsibility and do the only thing that is fair, in my eyes: to say sorry to you for what happened.

# Methodological individualism

Methodological individualism is the principle that subjective individual motivation explains social phenomena.

## Quotes

* Methodological individualism presupposes that historical change is fundamentally the outcome of great individual achievements, what is popularly known as the great man theory of history. The power of the hero—the great Black athlete who is able to leap over racism or sexism in a single bound plus a somersault—is a cathartic trope in African American sports history. It reflects a generic American story of individual triumph over adversity. Furthermore, methodological individualism assumes that the structural composition of society is reducible to an aggregate of individuals. Hence, methodological individualism discounts any politics that challenges social structures, the social character of capitalist exploitation, and how the institutional (social) structure of racism and sexism are grounded on capitalist social relations of production.
** Stephen C. Ferguson, Philosophy of African American Studies: Nothing Left of Blackness (2015), p. 17
