## Quotes

* There is no timeline for future political negotiations, but both of us (Taiwan and Mainland China) must develop and accumulate enough friendship and mutual trust.
** Wu Den-yih (2012) cited in: "Cross-strait ties are geography, not politics: Wu Den-yih" in Want China Times, 1 June 2012.
* Both sides (Taiwan and Mainland China) are so lovely and so many of their people are behaving like heroes and heroines, and yet Taiwan's former ambition to 'recover the mainland' has become a thing of the past.
** Wu Den-yih (2016) cited in: "Ex-VP calls on China 'not to widen distance' with Taiwanese" in Focus Taiwan, 3 October 2016.
* Let's put all this (cross-strait conflict) aside. The best choice for both sides (Taiwan and Mainland China) at this moment is peace.
** Wu Den-yih (2016) cited in: "Wu Den-yih calls on China to improve Taiwan relations" in The China Post, 5 October 2016.
* We should rebuild a just and harmonious society, where amicability exists between labor and capital, the younger and older generations, men and women, as well as concerned parties in the recent debates about legalizing same-sex marriage.
** Wu Den-yih (2017) cited in: "Wu pledges just governance if elected" in Taipei Times, 10 January 2017.
* With hindered communication across the strait, I will lead the (Kuomintang) party to take on the responsibility to protect and ensure the personal well-being, rights, social and economic exchange, and cultural transmission for people on both sides (Taiwan and Mainland China).
** Wu Den-yih (2017) cited in: "Wu stresses ‘1992 consensus’ in Xi reply" in Taipei Times, 22 May 2017.
* Of course, we are against Taiwan's independence, but we don't think right now is the time to talk about reunification (with Mainland China).
** Wu Den-yih (2018) cited in: "Taiwan opposition ditches pro-China overtures ahead of poll" in Financial Times, 8 May 2018.
* The two sides of the Taiwan Strait, based on the 'one China' principle, agreed that either side can freely interpret what 'one China' means in a verbal form. This means that the mainland can claim that the People's Republic of China represents all of China, while we can also claim that the Republic of China represents the whole of China.
** Wu Den-yih (2019) cited in: "KMT chief clarifies contents of '1992 consensus'" in Focus Taiwan, 4 January 2019.
* If the Kuomintang has the opportunity to rule (Taiwan) again, then we would have met the conditions stipulated by the (Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area) law. Assuming talks between the two sides (Taiwan and Mainland China) are successful, a Kuomintang government would be within its rights to sign a cross-strait peace treaty.
** Wu Den-yih (2019) cited in: "Wu Den-yih says KMT could sign peace treaty if it regains presidency next year" in Taipei Times, 15 February 2019.
# Wu Cheng'en

Wu Cheng'en (Chinese: 吳承恩; c. 1500–1582) was a Chinese novelist and poet of the Ming Dynasty, and is considered by many to be the author of Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.

## Quotes

* I was very fond of strange stories when I was a child. In my village-school days, I used to buy stealthily the popular novels and historical recitals. Fearing that my father and my teacher might punish me for this and rob me of these treasures, I carefully hid them in secret places where I could enjoy them unmolested. As I grew older, my love for strange stories became even stronger, and I learned of things stranger than what I had read in my childhood. When I was in my thirties my memory was full of these stories accumulated through years of eager seeking. [...] I have sometimes laughingly said to myself that it is not I who have found these ghosts and monsters, but they, the monstrosities themselves, which have found me!
** Preface to a collection of short stories about monsters, now lost, as quoted in Arthur Waley's introduction to the American edition of Monkey (New York: Grove Press, 1943)

### Journey to the West [Xiyouji] (1592)

    Main article: Journey to the West
* There was a rock that since the creation of the world had been worked upon by the pure essences of Heaven and the fine savours of Earth, the vigour of sunshine and the grace of moonlight, till at last it became magically pregnant and one day split open, giving birth to a stone egg, about as big as a playing ball. Fructified by the wind it developed into a stone monkey, complete with every organ and limb.
** Monkey, chapter 1 (trans. Arthur Waley)
* A monkey's transformed body weds the human mind. Mind is a monkey—this, the truth profound.
** Commentarial verses in chapter 7

# Wu Daozi

Wu Daozi (680 – c. 760), also known as Daoxuan, was a Chinese painter of the Tang dynasty. The British art historian Michael Sullivan considers him one of "the masters of the seventh century," Some of his works survive; many, mostly murals, have been lost.

## Quotes

* The greatest painter of the T’ang epoch, and, by common consent, of all the Far East, rose above distinctions of school, and belonged rather to the Buddhist tradition of Chinese art. Wu Tao-tze deserved his name—Wu, Master of the Tao or Way, for all those impressions and formless thoughts which Lao-tze and Chuang-tze had found too subtle for words seemed to flow naturally into line and color under his brush.
** Will Durant and Ariel Durant, The Story of Civilization, Book I, Our Oriental Heritage (1935) (IV. PAINTING 1. Masters of Chinese Painting)
* He excelled in every subject: men, gods, devils, Buddhas, birds, beasts, buildings, landscapes—all seemed to come naturally to his exuberant art. He painted with equal skill on silk, paper, and freshly-plastered walls; he made three hundred frescoes for Buddhist edifices, and one of these, containing more than a thousand figures, became as famous in China as “The Last Judgment” or “The Last Supper” in Europe. Ninety-three of his paintings were in the Imperial Gallery in the twelfth century, four hundred years after his death; but none remains anywhere today. His Buddhas, we are told, “fathomed the mysteries of life and death”; his picture of purgatory frightened some of the butchers and fishmongers of China into abandoning their scandalously un-Buddhistic trades; his representation of Ming Huang’s dream convinced the Emperor that Wu had had an identical vision.
** Will Durant and Ariel Durant, The Story of Civilization, Book I, Our Oriental Heritage (1935) (IV. PAINTING 1. Masters of Chinese Painting)
* So great was his reputation that when he was finishing some Buddhist figures at the Hsing-shan Temple, “the whole of Chang-an” came to see him add the finishing touches. Surrounded by this assemblage, says a Chinese historian of the ninth century, “he executed the haloes with so violent a rush and swirl that it seemed as though a whirlwind possessed his hand, and all who saw it cried that some god was helping him”: the lazy will always attribute genius to some “inspiration” that comes for mere waiting. When Wu had lived long enough, says a pretty tale, he painted a vast landscape, stepped into the mouth of a cave pictured in it, and was never seen again. Never had art known such mastery and delicacy of line.

# All Creatures Great and Small

All Creatures Great and Small is a series of books, movies, and TV series based on books written by James Alfred Wight under the pen name James Herriot based on his experiences as a veterinary surgeon in the Yorkshire Dales, in the fictional town of Darrowby, based on a combination of Thirsk, Richmond, Leyburn and Middleham. Alf Wight’s first two books of stories sold a few thousand copies each in the UK. It was a New York publisher who changed the childish-looking cover art and combined the works under the title “All Creatures Great and Small,” a phrase borrowed from the 19th century English hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful.

## Quotes

* At first I wondered where Tristan fitted into the set up. Was he supposed to be seeing practice, having a holiday, working or What? But it soon became clear that he was a factotum ...
    He would get out his daily Mirror, light a Woodine and settle down til sleep overcame him. If Siegfried rushed in on him he grabbed the bottle and started to shake it madly, inspecting the contents at intervals. Then he went through to the dispensary, filled up the bottle and labelled it.
    It was a sound, workable system but it had one big snag.
** New York Times best seller

# Alkyne

An alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon—carbon triple bond between two carbon atoms.

## Quotes

* The characteristic hybridization scheme for the triple bond of an alkyne controls its physical and electronic features. It is responsible for strong bonds, the linear structure, and the relatively acidic alkynyl hydrogen. In addition, alkynes are highly energetic compounds. Internal isomers are more stable than terminal ones, as shown by the relative heats of hydrogenation.
** K. Peter C. Vollhardt, Neil E. Schore (2011) Organic chemistry : structure and function 6th ed. Ch. 13 : Alkynes
* The cylindrical π cloud around the carbon – carbon triple bond induces local magnetic fields that lead to NMR chemical shifts for alkynyl hydrogens at higher fields than those of alkenyl protons. Long-range coupling is observed through the C≡C linkage. Infrared spectroscopy provides a useful complement to NMR data, displaying characteristic bands for the C≡C and ≡C–H bonds of terminal alkynes. In the mass spectrometer, alkynes fragment to give resonance-stabilized cations.
** K. Peter C. Vollhardt, Neil E. Schore (2011) Organic chemistry : structure and function 6th ed. Ch. 13 : Alkynes
* Conversion of 1-alkynes into substituted actic acids without the loss of one carbon is accomplished via hydroboration-oxidation … Ruthenium- or permanganate-mediated oxidations of internal alkynes are highly dependent on solvent conditions and generally afford the corresponding α-diketones.

# All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is an office within the United States Office of the Secretary of Defense that investigates unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and other phenomena in the air, sea, and/or space and/or on land: sometimes referred to as "unidentified aerial phenomena" or "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP).

## Quotes

* A lot of these allegations crop up again and again over history. I think it's statistically unrealistic to think it isn't given the vastness of the universe.
** Dr Kirkpatrick
* AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics. In the event sufficient scientific data were ever obtained that a UAP encounter can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin, we are committed to working with our interagency partners at NASA.
** Kirkpatrick
* AARO is working with the military departments and the joint staff to normalize, integrate, and expand UAP reporting beyond the aviators to all service members, including mariners, submariners, and our space guardians. AARO is working to take in more UAP reporting and analysis from the interagency, FAA, NOAA Coast Guard and the Department of Energy to name a few.
** Kirkpatrick
* The China adversary is not waiting. They are advancing and they are advancing quickly. They are less risk averse at technical advancement than we are. They are just willing to try things and see if it works.

# Alkene

In organic chemistry, an alkene, olefin, or olefine is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon–carbon double bond.

## Quotes

* An alkene, sometimes called an olefin, is a hydrocarbon that contains a carbon– carbon double bond. Alkenes occur abundantly in nature. … Ethylene and propylene, the simplest alkenes, are the two most important organic chemicals produced industrially. Approximately 127 million metric tons of ethylene and 54 million metric tons of propylene are produced worldwide each year for use in the synthesis of polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene glycol, acetic acid, acetaldehyde, and a host of other substances.
** John McMurry, Organic Chemistry 8th ed. (2012), Ch. 7. Alkenes: Structure and Reactivity
* Because of its double bond, an alkene has fewer hydrogens than an alkane with the same number of carbons … and is therefore referred to as unsaturated. Knowing this relationship, it’s possible to work backward from a molecular formula to calculate a molecule’s degree of unsaturation — the number of rings and/or multiple bonds present in the molecule. … The unknown therefore contains two double bonds, one ring and one double bond, two rings, or one triple bond. There’s still a long way to go to establish structure, but the simple calculation has told us a lot about the molecule. … Add the number of halogens to the number of hydrogens. … Ignore the number of oxygens. … Subtract the number of nitrogens from the number of hydrogens.
** John McMurry, Organic Chemistry 8th ed. (2012), Ch. 7. Alkenes: Structure and Reactivity
* The double bond in alkenes, such as ethene (ethylene), and the triple bond in alkynes, such as ethyne (acetylene), are the result of the ability of the atomic orbitals of carbon to adopt sp$^2$ and sp hybridization, respectively.
** K. Peter C. Vollhardt, Neil E. Schore (2011) Organic chemistry : structure and function 6th ed. Ch. 1. Structure and Bonding in Organic Molecules
* The carbon–carbon double bond in alkenes has special electronic and structural features. This section reviews the hybridization of the carbon atoms in this functional group, the nature of its two bonds (s and p), and their relative strengths.
** K. Peter C. Vollhardt, Neil E. Schore (2011) Organic chemistry : structure and function 6th ed. Ch. 11 Alkenes; Infrared Spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry
* Alkenes possessing allylic C-H bonds are oxidized by SeO$_2$ either to allylic alcohols or esters or to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones, depending on the experimental conditions. … Reaction of chromic anhydride (CrO$_2$) with t-butanol yields t-butyl hydrogen chro- mate, a powerful oxidant suitable for allylic oxidation of electron-deficient alkenene. Copper(I) salts catalyze thc allylic oxidation of alkenes in the presence of peresters, such as tert-BuO$_2$COPh, to afford the corresponding allylic benzoate esters.
