## Quotes
### 2001

* It is my interpretation from the Koran that all people have equal rights. That means men and women, Muslims and non-Muslims too, and in a society where all people have equal rights, that means all people should make decisions equally. … This doesn't mean that we're changing God's law, It just means we're reinterpreting laws according to the development of science — and the realities of the times.
** As quoted from interviews in Tehran (June 2000), published in Sacred Rage (2001) by Robin Wright, p. 280.

### 2003

* There is complete consensus on this issue. It is self-evident in Islam that it is prohibited to have nuclear bombs. It is eternal law, because the basic function of these weapons is to kill innocent people. This cannot be reversed … You cannot deliberately kill innocent people.
** As quoted in "Nuclear weapons unholy, Iran says" in SFGate (31 October 2003).

### 2007

* Undue enmity with enemies does not serve the interests of the system. Enemies must be dealt with wisely and prudently.
** Remarks on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad March 2007.
* Unfortunately, the source of all this conflict between the Sunnis and Shia is some major powers that do not want religious unity amongst Muslims.

* They must not have security. If Muslims have no security, neither must they. When there is no security for a Muslim's life, land, honor, and property, why should they have security? They are the people of “Dar Al-Harb,” so why should they have security?...Another thing, set aside the disagreements. They do not like the Kurds, nor the Arabs, the Sunnis, nor the Shiites. They have come to fight the people of Iraq. Basically, they have come to fight Islam. There is no need for wars between the Kurds and Arabs and the Sunni and Shiites. All of you gather under one flag.

# Maryam Monsef

Maryam Monsef (born November 7, 1984) is an Afghan Canadian politician. She was elected to represent the riding of Peterborough—Kawartha as a Liberal member the House of Commons of Canada in 2015.

## Quotes

* We have a responsibility – as an online community, as Canadians and as leaders – to stamp out cyberviolence. That’s why the Department for Women and Gender Equality is working with partners across the country to prevent and eliminate cyberviolence. So what exactly is cyberviolence? We often see a pushback, a denial of its legitimacy – people see cyber violence as a made-up thing. But research and experience show it’s real – and so are its impacts. Cyberviolence is the use of social media, cell phones and other electronic devices to do harm. It is often repetitive. It is often anonymous. And it has serious and dire consequences. Ready for a few examples? Looking at the Twitter feeds of women in leadership, I came across a trove of online violence and hate.

# Robert Paul Wolff

Robert Paul Wolff (December 27, 1933 – January 6, 2025) was an American political philosopher.

## Quotes about Wolff

* Wolff is logically confronted by a choice between a world of robots subject to authority, on the one hand, and, on the other, a world of human beings subject to no authority whatsoever but responsibly exercising their moral autonomy. … Consequently Wolff fails, as he must, in his attempt to show that authority and autonomy could be reconciled in a state governed by unanimous direct democracy. … In attempting to build the edifice of anarchism on the foundations of responsibility and moral autonomy, Wolff is ultimately self-contradictory. For it is perfectly reasonable to conclude that except in extraordinary circumstances that are rarely attainable in our world, if we wish to maximize autonomy our only reasonable and responsible choice is to seek the best possible state. If a democratic state is the best possible state (as probably few anarchists would deny), then the most responsible way of exercising our moral autonomy is to opt for a democratic state.

## Quotes

* The performance bridges the gap between the physical, the digital and immaterial realms. In a way, looking at all the different elements that constitute your performance, I would argue that it inhabits the discursive space prompted by the physical space that engages its viewer?
* Writing, remembering, narrating history and – as with your work – performing history, becomes a duty and responsibility towards knowledge. But at the same time, this responsibility and the striving for knowledge is inherently akin to tensions.
* Derrida, in Writing and Difference, discusses the contradiction of simultaneously writing to remember and writing to forget and quotes Hegel: 'I will speak later about the profound differences between the person of sacrifice, who operates ignorant (unconscious) of the ramifications of what they are doing, and on the Sage (Hegel), who surrenders to a knowledge that, in their own eyes, is absolute.
* Nathan Witt's work is primarily interested in identifying value and meaning through the dissemination of visual culture and learned history. Since 2002, Witt has produced a varied body of work that includes texts as specific counter-images and counter-objects, focusing on the integrity of the motive and its manipulation; as well as defacing press releases, making books and drawing.
* His work is interested in looking at the material as a by-product, as well as questioning contemporary notions of participation and authorship. The research-based practices result in research-performance installations as with his more recent 'Non-Participation Performance' and 'Continuity' works. Over the last four years, Witt has been exploring seemingly disparate subjects in Occupied Palestine, Israel and Lebanon on his project 'A Interloper' which looks at the vernacular of religious calendars found in Jerusalem and originating in the Middle East, looking at different notions of bodily displacement.
* It is interesting to look at how the advent of technology can have an impact on museum practices and the works of contemporary artists.
* I thrive in challenges and finding ways to break down barriers.

# Anna Petronella van Heerden

Anna Petronella van Heerden(1887–1975), was the first Afrikaner woman to qualify as a medical doctor. Her thesis, for which she obtained a doctorate in 1923, was the first medical thesis written in Afrikaans. She practiced as a gynecologist, retiring in 1942. She also served in the South African medical corps during World War II.
Van Heerden was born on 26 April 1887 in Bethlehem, Orange Free State. Her parents were Francois Willem van Heerden and Josephine Ryneva Beck Horak. She was the middle child with an older brother Alexander Charles and a younger brother Frankie.
She was educated at the Huguenot Seminary in Wellington and Victoria College in Stellenbosch. She studied at the University of Amsterdam from 1908 to 1915 where she completed her medical degree. Van Heerden served as an intern at the Volkshuishospitaal in Bloemfontein in 1916 and had her own practice in Harrismith from 1917.

## Quotes

* My analysis is underpinned by relevant life writing and feminist criticism, such as the notion of female.
Quotes about Anna Petronella van Heerden
* It investigates questions of nationalism, gender and sexuality in the autobiographical texts of Petronella van Heerden and Elsa Joubert.
* As political scientist De Klerk (1975:xiv) claims, ‘[t]he key to the Afrikaners is Calvinism’ and the strict doctrines enforced by the state and church can be said to have inhibited Van Heerden’s self-defining quest in her writing since she might have been ostracised (or imprisoned), in my opinion, if she imparted her more radical political opinions or openly discussed her sexuality as ‘mannish [lesbian]'.
* Through focusing on childhood experiences in Kerssnuitsels, marketed as a youth memoir, Van Heerden succeeds to convey her gradual awakening to the discriminating binaries imposed on women of her cultural and historical context in late 19th century and early 20th century South Africa.
* She gave up practicing medicine and came to Harrismith to farm cattle and was legendary among the boere here.

## Quotes

* We recruited 137 HIV-positive donors (cases) and 256 HIV-negative donors (controls) and gathered risk factor data using audio computer-assisted self-interview.
* The ASDHQ might be efficient only in specific conditions that maximize truthful donor’s responses, requiring each blood service to create an environment of trust and transparency to increase donors’ compliance and improve the accuracy of the questionnaire.
* To reduce blood-borne HIV transmission, four main strategies need to be considered: more effective identification of blood donors at high risk of HIV infection, better laboratory screening for HIV, pathogen reduction of blood products and reduced blood utilization. Blood donor risk screening comes first in the overall process of collecting safe blood products.
* We also determined the operational acceptability of the new ASDHQ by collecting qualitative data from the donors. We hypothesized that the ASDHQ questionnaire would reduce the rate of risk deferrals compared to historical data, increase HIV prevalence in deferred donors compared to HIV prevalence in accepted donors.
* Investigators also completed a paper-based laboratory tracking form in which they documented PDT and ELISA results performed on-site by the facilities themselves in addition to other specimens collected.
* We selected patients who presented epistasis or menorrhagia through clinical file and made them pass an interview and biological exams.
