# Hind al-Mutayri

Hind bint Abd al-Razzaq Huwayl al-Mutayri (Arabic: هند المطيري) is a Saudi poet, writer and academic.

## Quotes

* From my perspective, there are two memories: one for love and the other for life. When one of them is active, the other completely stops functioning because it recognizes the amount of confusion it would face if it were active at the same time. But in reality, I don’t know if we can use one whenever we want, or if they control this as well.
** Original: من وجهة نظري؛ هناك ذاكرتان، واحدة للحب والأخرى للحياة، وحين تعمل إحداهما تتوقف الأخرى عن العمل تماما؛ لأنها تدرك حجم التشويش الذي ستتعرض له لو عملت في هذا الوقت. لكني -في الواقع- لا أعلم ما إذا كنّا نستطيع أن نستعمل إحداهما وقتما نريد، أم أنهما تتحكمان في هذا أيضا

* If memories had a limited shelf life, we would be relieved of much of our pain and give our souls and minds a chance to heal. The experience ends, but the memory remains. And this permanence is the secret of our suffering!
** Original: لو كان للذكريات تاريخ صلاحية محدود، لكنّا تخففنا من كثير من آلامنا، ومنحنا أرواحنا وعقولنا فرصة للتعافي. التجربة تنتهي، لكن الذكرى تبقى. وهذا البقاء هو سرّ الشقاء!

# Hilton Als

Hilton Als (born 1960) is an American writer and theater critic.

## Quotes

* The damage suffered by people I know and love is almost always based on the trauma of the only elder they had treating them badly or being interested only in their silence. And what you’re left with, by the grace of God and some miracle, is this inner self. Our experiences are painful and sometimes annihilating, and if we have the strength to crawl out of and excavate that wreckage, we have to ask ourselves how to describe the truth of it.
** On wrestling with the idea of “protecting your elders” in “Hilton Als, The Art of the Essay No. 3” in The Paris Review (Summer 2018)
* I think I was just a very skinless person…And I had this terrible need to confess; and I still do it…It’s a bid to be loved, in some way.
** On writing in a confession manner in order to broadcast intimacy in “Hilton Als: ‘I had this terrible need to confess, and I still do it. It’s a bid to be loved’” in The Guardian (2018 Feb 2)
* In order to write anything profile-driven, I would become the person; and then I would analyse the person from within. Earlier, I would analyse them from without. But if I was going to write about him now, I would do it internally, so then it would be fiction.”
** On how his writing has changed in “Hilton Als: ‘I had this terrible need to confess, and I still do it. It’s a bid to be loved’” in The Guardian (2018 Feb 2)
* I think it means where the artist doesn’t necessarily have a full understanding of something, but they have deep empathy. They have some kind of amazing empathy with the characters in the world. I just think it means being openhearted and generous. I think that to be a conscious person is to sort through stuff in order to understand not just yourself but how you feel in the world.
** On how he defines “soulful” in “Hilton Als on What It Means to Be Hopeful, Despite the World” in LitHub (2015 Dec 16)

## Quotes

* Et musique est une science Qui veut qu'on rie et chante et dance. Cure n'a de merencolie, Ne d'homme qui merencolie A chose qui ne puet valoir, Eins met tels gens en nonchaloir. Partout ou elle est joie y porte; Les desconfortez reconforte, Et nes seulement de l'oir Fait elle les gens resjoir.
** And Music is an art which likes people to laugh and sing and dance. It cares nothing for melancholy, nor for a man who sorrows over what is of no importance, but ignores, instead, such folk. It brings joy everywhere it's present; it comforts the disconsolate, and just hearing it makes people rejoice.

# Guillermo José Garlatti

Guillermo José Garlatti (12 July 1940 –) is a prelate of the Catholic Church served as an auxillary bishop of the Archdiocese of La Plata in Argentina, as the bishop of the Diocese of San Rafael, and as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Bahía Blanca

## Quotes

* The Church realises that it has an important task in this crisis because it is a situation that arises from a society which is sick and has lost many values. In this perspective the evangelising role of the Church in the light of the Catholic Church’s Social Teaching is vitally important for the building of a new society. This is the only way to solve the crisis. Unless the rebuilding of the nation is founded on ethic and moral values which lead to the rebirth of institutions which have been discredited and to recompose the structures of society in every sector, any other measures taken will be only transitional certainly not lasting.

# Olaf Caroe

Sir Olaf Kirkpatrick Kruuse Caroe KCSI KCIE (15 November 1892 – 23 November 1981) was an administrator in British India, working for the Indian Civil Service and the Indian Political Service. He served as the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India during the World War II and later as the Governor of the North-West Frontier Province (the frontier with Afghanistan). As Foreign Secretary, he was responsible for reviving the McMahon Line, which included the Assam Himalayan frontier (present day Arunachal Pradesh) within India. After retirement, Caroe took on the role of a strategist of the Great Game and the Cold War on the southern periphery of the Soviet Union. His ideas are believed to have been highly influential in shaping the post-War policies of Britain and the United States. Scholar Peter Brobst calls him the "quintessential master of the Great Game" and the "foremost strategic thinker of British India" in the years before independence.

## Quotes about Olaf Caroe

## Quotes
### "Don Urges Electorate To Vote Wisely" (2015)

    "Don Urges Electorate To Vote Wisely", The Guardian (February 6, 2015)
* The decision not to vote is a decision to allow others to lead one in a direction one may not want.
* So the first thing is to be part of the process. The second thing is to vote wisely. I think for most Nigerians that is the little we can do. Once they get to government they don’t ask us of anything. They go ahead to run policies that are sometimes anti-people. That is why the person we choose must be the right person.
* Let us now look for candidates who have a clear vision, candidates we know that we can hold accountable. The roles of the citizens are to institute the leadership that we work for.
