## Quotes of Johnny Welch:

If for a moment God forgot that I am a puppet made of cloth and gave me a piece of life, I probably wouldn't say everything I think, but I would think everything I say. I would value things not for their value, but for what they mean. I would sleep less and dream more, knowing that for every minute we keep our eyes closed, we lose sixty seconds of light. I would go on when others stop, I would wake up when others are asleep. I would listen when others talk and how much pleasure I would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream. If God gave me a piece of life, I would dress simply, throw myself on the ground in the sun, baring not only my body, but also my soul. My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hatred on ice and wait for the sun to come. On the stars I would paint a poem by Benedetti with a dream by Van Gogh and a song by Serrat would be the serenade I would offer to the moon. I would water the roses with my tears to feel the pain of their thorns and the red kiss of their petals. My God, if I had a piece of life, I wouldn't let a single day go by without telling people that I love, that I love them. I would tell every woman that she is my favorite and I would live in love with love. I would show men how wrong they are to think that they stop falling in love when they get older, not knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love! I would give a child wings, but I would let him learn to fly on his own. I would teach old people that death does not come with old age, but with oblivion. I've learned so much from you men... I learned that everyone wants to live on the top of the mountain, without knowing that true happiness lies in the way of climbing the escarpment. I've learned that when a newborn first clutches his father's finger in his little fist, he holds it tight forever. I learned that a man has the right to look down on another man just to help him get up. There are many things that I have learned from you, but in truth they will not be very useful, because when they put me in this suitcase, unfortunately I will die... (from Lo Que Le He Enseñado a la Vida)

## Quotes

* I was working at this club in downtown L.A. from four to eight at night, just Eddie Rubin, the drummer, and I. We didn’t even have a bass player down there. Then we’d pack up, get on the freeway, drive up to L.A., go to the Whisky, set up, grab some food, and play from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. It was pretty rough work, but it was fun and we were into it. We knew we had something going and there was a big buzz. It was pretty exciting.

## Paul Revere

* There's a time for casting silver and a time for casting cannon. If that isn't in the Holy Writ, it should be.

## James Otis

* For we must fight this war, in meeting house and Congress and the halls of Parliament, as well as on the field! But what it's all about, you'll really never know. And yet it-it it's so much simpler than any of you think. We give all we have. We fight! We die, for a simple thing. Only that a man could stand.

## Samuel Adams

* This meeting can do nothing more to save the country!

## Gen. Gage

* [to his officers] You see those campfires, gentlemen? Yesterday we ruled over Boston. Tonight we are beseiged in it. And still they come from every village and farm. Tonight 10,000. Tomorrow perhaps twice 10,000. We've experienced more than a defeat, more than a mere misfortune of war. We have been vanquished by an idea, a belief in human rights.

# Felix Ehrenhaft

Felix Ehrenhaft (April 24, 1879 – March 4, 1952) was an Austrian physicist who contributed to atomic physics, to the measurement of electrical charges and to the optical properties of metal colloids. He was known for his maverick and controversial style. His fearless iconoclasm was greatly admired by philosopher Paul Feyerabend.

## Sourced

* Wie steht es bei dem Kreisen der sogenannten Elektronen um ihren zentralen Kern? Was ist hier wirklich unmittelbar wahrgenommen worden? Nichts von den bewegten Teilchen; was vielmehr beobachtet wurde, sind Erscheinungen, welche auf den ersten Blick mit der Bewegung von Körpern gar nichts zu tun haben. Alles übrige, was zum Atommodell geführt, ist eine lange Kette von Schlüssen.
** What about the orbiting of the so-called electrons around their central nucleus? What has really been observed unequivocally? Nothing of the moving particle; what has rather been observed are phenomena which at first glance have nothing to do at all with the motion of bodies. Everything else that leads to the atomic model, is a long chain of inferences.

# George Tiller

George Tiller (August 8, 1941 – May 31, 2009) was an American physician and abortion provider. He was murdered on May 31, 2009.

## Quotes about George Tiller

* The Kansas National Organization for Women is deeply saddened at the cowardly act of violence committed against Dr. George Tiller, a champion for women's reproductive freedom—an act that ultimately took his life. Dr. Tiller, although previously surviving many acts of terrorism and violence directed at him and his clinic, did not allow it to stop him from standing up for the rights of all women. Kansas NOW grieves not only the loss of Dr. Tiller, but also the loss that all women needing access to safe abortion have suffered due to this act of violence.
** The Kansas chapter of the National Organization for Women (May 31, 2009)
* I am stunned by this lawless and violent act which must be condemned and should be met with the full force of law. We join in lifting prayer that God's grace and presence rest with Dr. Tiller's family and friends.
** Phill Kline, Remarks on Tiller’s Death (May 31, 2009)
* Operation Rescue has worked tirelessly on peaceful, non-violent measures to bring him to justice through the legal system, the legislative system. Mr. Tiller was an abortionist. But this wasn’t personal. We are pro life, and this act was antithetical to what we believe. Our prayers go out to his family and the thousands of people this will impact."
** Troy Newman, (May 31, 2009)
* Dr. Tiller was a fearless, passionate defender of women’s reproductive health and rights. It’s time that this nation stop demonizing these doctors, and start honoring them.
** Nancy Northup, Doctor Who Performed Abortions Is Shot to Death (May 31, 2009)
* George Tiller was a mass-murderer. We grieve for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God. I am more concerned that the Obama Administration will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions. Abortion is still murder. And we still must call abortion by its proper name, murder."
** Randall Terry Terry: 'Tiller was a mass murderer'(May 31, 2009)

### "The Louer to his Ladie that gased much vp to the Skies"

* My Girle, thou gazest much vpon the golden Skies: Would I were Heauen, I would behold thée then with all mine eies.
** Translating Anthologia Palatina, VII, 669
** Modernised:"The Lover to his Lady, that gazed much up to the Skies"My Girl, thou gazest much Upon the golden skies: Would I were Heaven, I would behold Thee then with all mine eyes.

* Discharge thy dole, Thou subtile soule, It standes in little stéede To cursse the kisse That causer is Thy chirrie lip doth bléede. Thy bloud ascends To make amends For domage thou hast donne: For by the same I felt a flame More scorching than the Sunne.

But if you long To wreake your wrong Vpon your friendly fo: Come kisse againe And put to paine The man that hurt you so.
** Modernised:"To his Lady, that by hap when he kissed her and made her lip bleed, controlled him and took disdain" Discharge thy dole, Thou subtle soul, It stands in little stead To curse the kiss That causer is Thy cherry lip doth bleed. Thy blood ascends To make amends For damage thou hast done: For by the same I felt a flame More scorching than the sun. Thou reft’st my heart By secret art, My sprites were quite subdued: My senses fled And I was dead, Thy lips were scarce imbrued. The kiss was thine, The hurt was mine, My heart felt all the pain: ’Twas it that bled And looked so red, I tell thee once again. But if you long To wreak your wrong Upon your friendly foe; Come kiss again And put to pain The man that hurt you so.

# George Uglow Pope

George Uglow Pope (24 April 1820 – 11 February 1908), or G. U. Pope, was an Anglican Christian missionary and Tamil scholar who spent 40 years in Tamil Nadu and translated many Tamil texts into English. His popular translations included those of the Tirukkural and Thiruvasagam.

## Quotes

* We are quite warranted in imaging Tiruvalluvar, the thoughtful poet, the eclectic . . . pacing along the seashore with the Christian teachers, and imbibing Christian ideas, tinged with the peculiarities of the Alexandrian school, and day by day working them into his own wonderful Kurral . . . the one Oriental book much of whose teaching is an echo of 'the Sermon on the Mount'.
** Quoted from Malhotra, R., Nīlakantan, A. (Princeton, N.J.). (2011). Breaking India: Western interventions in Dravidian and Dalit faultlines
* Christian influences were at the time at work in the neighbourhood, and that many passages are strikingly Christian in their spirit. I cannot feel any hesitation in saying that the Christian Scriptures were among the sources from which the poet derived his inspiration.
** Quoted from Malhotra, R., Nīlakantan, A. (Princeton, N.J.). (2011). Breaking India: Western interventions in Dravidian and Dalit faultlines

## Quotes about Pope

* For example, Christian historian Stephen Neill rejects Pope’s fraudulent claim with a tone of empathy: ‘The brilliant imagination of Dr Pope has produced a beautiful romance. The sober verdict of historical judgment must be that any such Christian influence on Tamil literature is unlikely. . . Any extensive infiltration of Hindu thought by Christian influences must be ruled out as no more than remote possibility. Here, as elsewhere, what we seem to see is devout minds in different places working on similar problems and arriving independently at comparable results.’

# George Stout

George Frederick Stout, FBA (6 January 1860 – 18 August 1944), usually cited as G. F. Stout, was a leading English philosopher and psychologist.

## Quotes about Stout

* As a philosopher Stout is quite difficult to situate. His relation to English Idealism is complicated. We know that he advanced a position that Metz describes as ‘a “meeting” of pragmatist, realist and idealist motives’. Metz goes on to label Stout either an ‘old realist’ or a ‘new realist’ but definitely not an idealist. Passmore, more accurately, describes Stout as ‘pre-eminently … a philosopher of the middle way’. It is in this way that Stout is usually painted by much of the literature – a philosopher who was interested in reconciliation and compromise. This I think is true of his philosophy after about 1900.
** Omar Nasim, Bertrand Russell and the Edwardian Philosophers: Constructing the World (2008), p. 20.
# George Takei

George Hosato Takei (born April 20, 1937) is an American actor of Japanese decent. He is best known for playing the role of Mr. Sulu in the television series Star Trek (1966–1969) and the films which followed.

## Quotes
### 2008

* I've been working with Bill Shatner yea these 40-plus years. He never seems to get it right. I gave him, "It's Takei, as in way." I even said, "as in gay"… I told him, "It's Takei, rhymes with toupee." I thought that would do it.
** Quoted in Doug Elfman, "Takei celebrates legacy of diversity," Las Vegas Review-Journal (August 12, 2008)
** Describing how he advised William Shatner, who reportedly could never pronounce his name correctly, how to say it aloud.

### 2011

* A bill recently approved by a Tennessee Senate committee would prohibit teachers in that state from discussing homosexuality in the classroom. The so-called "Don't Say Gay" law is premised on the misguided belief that by not talking about gay people, they can simply make us disappear. I'm here to tell Tennessee and all LGBT youth and teachers who would be affected by this law that I am here for you. In fact, I am lending my name to the cause. Anytime you need to say the word "gay", you can simply say "Takei". For example, you could safely proclaim you are a supporter of Takei marriage. If you're in a more festive mood, you can march in a Takei pride parade. Even homophobic slurs don't seem as hurtful if someone says "That is soooo Takei", and around the holidays, you can sing "Don we now our Takei apparel!".
** George Takei vs. Tennessee's "Don't Say Gay" Bill, YouTube, 19 May 2011, retrieved on May 20, 2011
** Regarding the Tennessee Senate Judiciary Committee passing state senator Stacey Campfield's bill SB49 which bans mentioning homosexuality in public schools prior to ninth grade.

### 2015

* He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. He doesn't belong there. And for him to say, slaves have dignity. I mean, doesn't he know that slaves were in chains? That they were whipped on the back. If he saw the movie 12 Years as a Slave, you know, they were raped. And he says they had dignity as slaves or— My parents lost everything that they worked for, in the middle of their lives, in their thirties. His business, my father's business, our home, our freedom and we're supposed to call that dignified? Marched out of our homes at gun point. I mean, this man does not belong on the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America.
** Fox 10 News (Phoenix) interview, June 30, 2015
** regarding Clarence Thomas writing "Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved. Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them." in his Obergefell v. Hodges dissent, June 26, 2015.

George Trumbull Ladd (January 19, 1842 – August 8, 1921) was an American philosopher, educator and psychologist.

## Quotes

* It is without doubt true that all men, of whatever race or degree of civilization, are essentially alike; they constitute what certain authorities in anthropology have fitly called "a spiritual unity." But for the individual who cannot expect to find within himself whatever is necessary to understand and interpret this unity, and especially for the observer who does not care even to detect and recognize the existence of such a unity, the difference between Orient and Occident is a puzzle—perpetually baffling and seemingly insoluble.
