## At Last There is Nothing Left to Say

The following quotes are from a compilation of fictional writings by Matthew Good released under the title At Last There is Nothing Left to Say.
* I’d love to know the future. Even if it’s just the past all dressed up to make whatever comes next look good.
* It's like luggage their language.
* It is not unlike men to leave.
* I told him to smother Linda with a pillow while she was sleeping. All he said was “Can’t live with ’em, can’t smother ’em with a pillow." I disagreed.
* You will definitely not survive this next bit.
* I bought a garden hose the other day. I have no idea why. I do things like that from time to time. For example, I’ll go out intending to buy cereal and come home with two Filipino hookers and an application for the Entertainment Card.
* ...there is something larger that’s looming out there. A force that remains patient and silent. An entity that waits to teach a lesson that we have yet to grasp. It is much better to just lie there and let it roll over you like some immense army of unquestionable wonder.
* "What made you think of Valium anyway?" I said. "I don't know. Maybe it was all that Valium that I took?" she said.
* Good morning, sunshine, time to go.

# Opening statement

An opening statement is, in adversarial legal systems, a statement made by a party at the beginning of a trial or comparable factfinding proceeding, in which that party lays out their case, generally including the points of fact that they intend to demonstrate and to some degree indicating the rhetorical arguments for why they should prevail.

## Quotes
### The Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904)

    Quotes reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, The Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 186-187.
* Do not open that which is not evidence.
** Sir John Bayley, 1st Baronet, Trial of Knowles (1820), 1 St. Tr. (N. S.) 505.
* This case not having been opened has thrown a difficulty upon the Court—without presuming to say it ought not to have been the course, considering the state of the matter; I am thinking of the inconvenient situation in which the Court is placed. Parties, I think, should act upon the law as it stands. The usual course is for the counsel for the prosecution to state the facts without reasoning upon them, and such facts as may lead one's attention to that which may be the real question of law in the case. But if a contrary course is to be adopted, and an opening is to be done without, we shall be in great difficulty at the end of the cause.
** Gaselee, J., Fursey's Case (1833), 1 St. Tr. (N. S.) 558.
* That is the great difficulty in not having an opening speech. If there is a speech without any observations, I think it beneficial.
** Parke, J., Fursey's Case (1833), 1 St. Tr. (N. S.) 558.
* It is manifestly fallacious to make the opening of counsel the test on the question of what is "the act or transaction which the Crown prosecutes." It is plain that the Court is not at all bound by the statements made by the counsel in his address.
** Williams, J., Reg. v. Bird et uxor (1851), 5 Cox, C. C. 65.
* What is introductory goes for nothing, but it is in order to explain the evidence.
** John Pratt, C.J., Layer's Case (1722), 16 How. St. Tr. 181.
* If Mr. Attorney in opening does say anything that he ought not to eay, I will correct him, as I would do anybody that does not open things right as they are proved; but pray don't you that are at the bar interrupt one another, it is unbecoming men of your profession to be chopping in and snapping at one another. Go on, Mr. Attorney.
** Wright, L.C.J., Trial of the Seven Bishops (1688), 12.
# Opera

in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (libretto) and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting. In traditional opera, singers do two types of singing: recitative, a speech-inflected style and arias, a more melodic style. Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and costumes and sometimes includes dance. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 19th century has been led by a conductor.

## Quotes

* No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.
** W. H. Auden, in TIME magazine (29 December 1961)
* I love this opera. I always return to it every year because it keeps me centered. I love the story, and it reminds me to focus on what's really important in life
** Antoine Hodge according to "Up-and-coming opera singer Antoine Hodge succumbs to"COVID-19 (March 1, 2021)
* An exotic and irrational entertainment, which has been always combated, and always has prevailed.
** Samuel Johnson, Lives of the English Poets (1779-81), "Hughes." (Of Italian opera.)
* For, without cruelty, only a limited success is ever possible in opera.
** R. A. Lafferty, Selenium Ghosts of the Eighteen Seventies (1978), in Terry Carr (ed.), The Year's Finest Fantasy: Volume 2, p. 233 (originally published in Universe 8)

## Other

* Bobby: I've seen a lot of drunks in my day, but I never seen anyone as drunk as you and still be able to walk. You're fantastic.

## Dialogue

    Nancy Stein: I never bothered you. You want to kill me. I devoted my life to you. To movies, to music, to theatre. I'm 17 years old. I like sex. I like to turn people on. And that's what the theatre is: sex. It's like getting laid.
    Myrtle Gordon: Um, what did you do to her?
    Sarah Goode: Just please tell me what this play doesn't express.
    Myrtle Gordon: Hope.

    Myrtle Gordon: Okay.
    Maurice Aarons: I have a small part. It's unsympathetic. The audience doesn't like me. I can't afford to be in love with you.

# Operation Chiffon

Operation Chiffon was the code name the British Intelligence M15 service gave to secret communications with the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) in 1991 as a means of exploring and bringing to and end of The Troubles. A meeting in March 1993 that was not authorized by MI5 may have been instrumental in leading to ceasefire that led to the Good Friday Agreement.

## Quotes
#### By MI5 officer Robert

* The final solution is union. It is going to happen anyway. The historical train - Europe - determines that. Unionists will have to change. This island will be as one.
** At the March 1993 meeting hosted at the home of peace activist and trusted contact Brendan Duddy as recorded in the minutes by Gerry Kelly. Martin McGuinness was the other person present the leadership of the PIRA and Sinn Fein with Kelly. McGuinness understood Robert to be the authorized "British Government Representative" and that his words here represented the views of the British Government.
* I had all sorts of thoughts going through [my mind]. A concern that I was going against my own government and the Queen.
* Yes, I misled the prime minister so I misled the Queen as well. It was a hard and really very unpleasant thing to have on your conscience. I felt very alone.
** In a recording in the 2020s of an interview with Peter Taylor for a BBC Documentary over the 1993 meeting at Duddy's home.
* I’d like what I did to be remembered, I did think I’d brought peace to Northern Ireland.
** Richardson, Hollie (25 March 2023). TV tonight: the M15 officer who risked his life to meet an IRA leader. The Guardian. Retrieved on 30 March 2023.
** A quote from the the person in an interview with Peter Taylor with the person he claims was the MI5 officer who claims he met against orders from his MI5 superiors to explore peace with Provisional Irish Republican Army in 1993. This claim should be seen in the context that Robert felt he was a critical link in the secret back channel originally established by Michael Oatley that may have been essential to engendering the PIRA's support for the more public channels working towards peace and the Good Friday Agreement.

#### By Gerry Kelly

* We were told he was a British government representative. We just took him at his word - that's what he was there for, he would represent the British government and therefore we were talking to the British government.
* It gave hope there was a possibility of a peace process through meaningful talks. I think he [Robert] did the right thing and he can claim to have been part of history.
** Speaking to Taylor in February 2023 when describing the March 1993 meeting and indicating belief Robert's actions were justified.

Operation Moshtarak (Dari for Together or Joint), also known as the Battle of Marjah, an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) offensive in the town of Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

## Quotes

* As for Marjah, its mention at all in the same breath as the American Revolution or the Civil War is truly grotesque. The little farming communities that the Pentagon PR machine lyingly described as a small city swarming with Taliban fighters was nothing but a staged and carefully managed battle set, designed to make Americans forget that the US was (and is) bogged down in an unwinnable war of conquest and occupation in Afghanistan. The few American soldiers and Marines who died there died for the sake of White Hours and Pentagon propaganda, not for the sake of defending Americans’ vaunted freedoms. The set has now been torn down, the klieg lights have been turned off, and “Marjah” has reverted to Taliban territory again.

## Quotes

* Growing up, I was always in and out of the hospital with stomach problems, and no one could figure out what was wrong. I decided to give up meat and become a vegetarian, and I haven’t had stomach problems since! I love eating healthy, delicious vegetarian meals and the options are endless. No matter where I go, I can find vegetarian dishes that satisfy my hunger and my taste for great food.

* Celebrating our culture is very important to me. But one thing I cannot support is the senseless killing of animals in bullfights. From the moment the bull enters the ring, he’s destined to die. Outnumbered, frightened, even drugged or injured, his death will be slow and painful. … Tradition is no excuse for cruelty.

## Quotes

* ... But what would happen if genetic determinism could be destroyed once and for all? Will men cease to be patriarchal? And will the rich distribute their possessions to the poor? Fat chance.
** (24 January 1985)"Sociobiology: the debate continues (2-part book review of Not in Our Genes — 1st part of review by Bateson; 2nd part by Richard Dawkins)". New Scientist: 58–60. (quote from p. 59) See article about Not in Our Genes.
* ... The male emperor penguin brooding his mate's egg over the Antarctic winter cannot be relieved by his mate because the growth of the ice shelf puts the sea and food beyond reach. So, in the interests of producing an offspring, he fasts for months—a feat any human would find impossible. Other potential solutions to this problem, such as shorter stints of breeding and trekking repeatedly across the ice shelf during the winter, presumably proved to be less successful. The penguins that fasted all winter were the ones whose ancestors had best survived with this adaptation. Examples like this emphasise how dependent is the organisation of behaviour on the ecology of the species. Differences between individuals in the processes of development are to be expected.

## Mate Choice (1983)

* The growing interest in mating preferences in animals has been generated in part by the renewed vitality of evolutionary biology. A characteristic that successfully attracts a member of the opposite sex might become increasingly common in the population simply because it is likely to be transmitted to offspring which in turn may be better than others in winning mates This evolutionary process, which is a part of what is called sexual selection, could be an important source of genetic change.

* Hybrid vigour is so dramatic when it occurs that it seems to make the arguments for outbreeding depression implausible. Nevertheless, some empirical evidence supports the view that outbreeding too much can carry genetic costs in certain species.

# Naqshbandi

The Naqshbandi (Persian: نقشبندی), also known as Naqshbandiyah (Arabic: نقشبندية, romanized: Naqshbandīyah), Neqshebendi (Kurdish: نه‌قشه‌به‌ندی), and Nakşibendi (in Turkish) is a major Sunni order of Sufism. Its name is derived from Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari. Naqshbandi masters trace their lineage to the Islamic prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr, the first Caliph of Sunni Islam.

## Quotes

* Throughout the South Asian Subcontinent, the Sufi order of the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya was closely associated with Muslim revivalism and conquest. Simon Digby’s translation of the Malfuzat-i Naqshbandiyya, aptly titled Sufis and Soldiers in Awrangzeb’s Deccan, illustrates this trend. The major figure of the work, Baba Palangposh, is a local holy man who joins the army of the Moghul ruler Awrangzeb (1657–1707) and participates in the campaign to subdue the region of southern India. He witnesses a vision of the Prophet Muhammad’s uncle Hamza (slain at the Battle of Uhud in 627, and usually called “the Prince of Martyrs”) in which Hamza gives Baba Palangposh a sword and says: “Take this sword . . . and go to the army of Mir Shihab al-Din in the land of the Deccan [southern India].”
** Cook, D. (2015). Understanding jihad.
* Although the Naqshbandi order, which arose in Central Asia, arrived in the subcontinent considerably later than the other orders, it would play a significant role in Indian religious and political matters during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As we have mentioned, Sufi orders often differed from one another with regard to doctrine and practice, as well as in their willingness—or unwillingness, as the case might be—to have dealings with temporal rulers, and this was also true in India. Sufis of the Naqshbandi order, for example, were often involved in the affairs of temporal rulers and carried on a tradition of taking an active role in political and military matters in order to uphold orthodox Sunni Islamic practice and secure the well-being of the Muslim polity. The life of Baba Palang Pūsh, with which this chapter closes, exemplifies the willingness of the Naqshbandis to take part in religiously sanctioned military campaigns.
