David James Gorman (born 2 March 1971 in Stafford, Staffordshire) is an English author, humorist, filmmaker and radio presenter. He performs comedy shows on stage in which he tells stories of extreme adventures and presents the evidence to the audience in order to prove to them that, unlike in most other stage presentations, they are true stories. He was a stand-up comedian before he became famous for Are You Dave Gorman? and then took a break from normal stand-up. He returned to doing stand-up in 2008.

* If John Logie Baird had been born in 1971 would he have been a genius? The only thing we know with any certainty is that he wouldn't have invented the television. Some people believe he would have still established his genius; that he would have simply found another arena in which to work. I disagree. I think he would have been distracted from such brainy pursuits by all that television.

* I don't go out of my way to be outrageous, I just go out of my way to look at things.
* I've stopped smoking... I think the cost was a lot of it, and not being able to breathe. I first gave up smoking when I was eight.

* For some reason, I'm the guy people love to hate, which I think is weird. People who know me find that very strange, but for some reason, I am. I don't mind being that guy - I have fun with it.
* I never excelled at one sport or had a very strong passion for anything other than wrestling and bodybuilding.
* Nothing can motivate me any more than I'm already motivated. It just can't happen. Me being motivated was never a factor. Never.
* I'm not a big guy. I'm not a menacing guy. I'm not an intimidating guy. I may look that way, but just spend two seconds talking to me, and you know that's not who I am - not as a person, as a character. It's not who I intend to be.
* I'm particular about the projects that I've chosen. Each one of them, I've taken a step up, like climbing a ladder. Before, it was baby-steps, up to 'Riddick.' Then I took this huge leap onto 'Guardians!' It was such a higher level, this huge project which originally I never thought I'd have a chance in hell of getting.
* Know your lines; otherwise, have an open mind because you want to get lost in the moment. When you have talented actors and directors to work with, then it's pretty easy to do.
* People look at me, and they have a certain perception, and they slap a label on me. The guy you saw in a wrestling ring is not who I am.
* Just getting auditions was rough. But also just learning how to act - when I did my first role, in a film I did which was a favour to a friend, I realised I was really bad at it.

# Demand

Demand is a buyer's willingness and ability to pay a price for a specific quantity of a good or service. Demand refers to how much quantity of a product or service is desired by buyers at various prices.

## Quotes

* The economist’s “demand” is not the real demand; his “consumption” is an artificial consumption. For the economist, only that person really demands, only that person is a real consumer, who has an equivalent to offer for what he receives.

## Quotes about Sayeedi

* “Why should we feel sad when the Hindu brothers choose to leave our country? Do we mourn when we have indigestion and materials leave our bodies?”: Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, vice-president of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh and one of the prime accused in the 1971 genocide in Bangladesh. 16 Muslim organisations held a massive rally in 2013 in Kolkata in support of this war criminal when he was sentenced to death by Bangladesh.

# Demet Özdemir

Demet Özdemir (born 26 February 1992) is a Turkish actress, dancer and model.

## Quotes by Demet Özdemir

* I started dancing when I was fifteen and I also had to work. I had to. But I wanted to do something I liked. My sister had already danced and it was therefore an industry that I knew through her. For this I wanted and had a strong will and training. I didn't say: Ah! I want to dance and I became a dancer.
** Ho iniziato a ballare quando avevo quindici anni e dovevo anche lavorare. Dovevo. Ma ho voluto fare qualcosa che mi piacesse. Mia sorella aveva già ballato ed era quindi un settore che conoscevo tramite lei. Per questo ho voluto e avuto una forte volontà e formazione. Non ho detto: Ah! Voglio ballare e sono diventata ballerina.
** From the interview Verissimo: la prima intervista italiana all'attrice turca Demet Özdemir, newscinema.it.
* Sometimes I look in the mirror and see myself old. I come home, look in the mirror and realize I've aged twenty years. But then I adjust again, because I have so much energy.
** A volte mi guardo allo specchio e mi vedo vecchia. Torno a casa, mi guardo allo specchio e mi rendo conto di essere invecchiata di vent'anni. Ma poi mi riadatto, perché ho tanta energia.

* Being a mom is a beautiful thing, a wonderful thing. But I can say one thing, I certainly would like to be a mother. But there is no obligation. It's not a forced decision. I see my mother, I see the other mothers, my friends, my friends and I say: one day I too will be a mother. You know I've often wondered what kind of mom I could be.
** Essere mamma è una cosa bellissima, una cosa stupenda. Però posso dire una cosa, certamente vorrei essere mamma. Però non c'è nessun obbligo. Non è una decisione obbligata. Io vedo mia madre, vedo le altre mamme, delle mie amiche, dei miei amici e dico: un giorno anche io sarò mamma. Sai che spesso mi sono chiesta che tipo di mamma potrei essere.

# Demarcation problem

The demarcation problem in the philosophy of science is about how to distinguish between science and non-science, including between science, pseudoscience, and other products of human activity, like art and literature, and beliefs. The debate continues after over two millennia of dialogue among philosophers of science and scientists in various fields, and despite broad agreement on the basics of scientific method.

## Quotes

* The borderlines between genuine science and pseudoscience may be fuzzy, but this should be even more of a call for careful distinctions, based on systematic facts and sound reasoning. To try a modicum of turtle blood here and a little aspirin there is not the hallmark of wisdom and even-mindedness. It is a dangerous gateway to superstition and irrationality.
** Massimo Pigliucci and Maarten Boudry, "The Dangers of Pseudoscience", The New York Times (October 10, 2013)

# Babu (title)

The title babu, also spelled baboo, is used in the Indian subcontinent as a sign of respect towards men. In some cultures, the term 'Babu' is a term of endearment for a loved one as well. The honorific "ji" is sometimes added as a suffix to create the double honorific "babuji" which, in northern and eastern parts of India, is a term of respect for one's father. "Babuji" can also be used as a term of respect for any respected elder or man.

## Quotes

* He who has one word in his mind, which becomes ten when he speaks, hundred when he writes and thousands when he quarrels is a babu. He whose strength is one-time in his hands, ten-times in his mouth, a hundred times behind the back and absent at the time of action is a babu. He whose deity is the Englishman, preceptor the Brahmo preacher, scriptures the newspapers and pilgrimage the National Theatre is a babu. He who declares himself a Christian to missionaries, a Brahmo to Keshabchandra, a Hindu to his father and an atheist to the Brahman beggar is a babu. One who drinks water at home, alcohol at his friend’s, receives abuse from the prostitute and kicks from his boss is a babu. He who hates oil when he bathes, his own fingers when he eats and his mother tongue when he speaks is indeed a babu . . . O King, the people whose virtues I have recited to you will come to believe that by chewing pan [betel], lying prone on the bed, making bilingual conversation and smoking tobacco, they will reconquer India.
** Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay [This translation is from Partha Chatterjee’s The Nation and its Fragments: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories, Oxford University Press, New Delhi, 1993. quoted from Akbar, M. J - The shade of swords_ Jihad and the conflict between Islam and christianity-Routledge (2008)
# Baboons

Baboons are African and Arabian Old World monkeys belonging to the genus Papio, part of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. The five species are some of the largest non-hominoid members of the primate order; only the mandrill and the drill are larger.

## Quotes

* There once was a brainy baboon, Who always breathed down a bassoon, For he said, "It appears That in billions of years I shall certainly hit on a tune".
** Arthur Stanley Eddington, New Pathways in Science (1939).
* Evolution is a process that never stops. Baboons who fail to exhibit moral behavior do not survive; they wind up as meat for leopards.
** Robert A. Heinlein, Expanded Universe, (1980), "The Pragmatics of Patriotism," (1973), address to the U.S. Naval Academy.
* When I first began working with baboons, my main problem was learning to keep up with them while remaining alert to poisonous snakes, irascible buffalo, aggressive bees, and leg-breaking pig holes. Fortunately, these challenges eased over time, mainly because I was traveling in the company of expert guides—baboons who could spot a predator a mile away and seemed to possess a sixth sense for the proximity of snakes. Abandoning myself to their far superior knowledge, I moved as a humble disciple, learning from masters about being an African anthropoid. Thus I became (or, rather, regained my ancestral right to be) an animal, moving instinctively through a world that felt (because it was) like my ancient home.
** Barbara Smuts, Reflections, in The Lives of Animals (Princeton University Press, 1999), p. 109.
* There were 140 baboons in the troop, and I came to know every one as a highly distinctive individual. Each one had a particular gait, which allowed me to know who was who, even from great distances when I couldn't see anyone's face. Every baboon had a characteristic voice and unique things to say with it; each had a face like no other, favorite foods, favorite friends, favorite bad habits.
** Barbara Smuts, Reflections, in The Lives of Animals (Princeton University Press, 1999), p. 111.
* The strain of man's bred out Into baboons and monkey.
** William Shakespeare, Timon of Athens, I.i

# Frank Kermode

Sir John Frank Kermode, FBA (29 November 1919 – 17 August 2010) was a British literary critic best known for his 1967 work The Sense of an Ending: Studies in the Theory of Fiction and for his extensive book-reviewing and editing.

## Quotes
### The Sense of an Ending: Studies in the History of Fiction (2000 ed.)

    Oxford University Press. (Original work published 1967) Full text available.
* [A]lthough for us the End has perhaps lost its naive imminence, its shadow still lies on the crises of our fictions; we may speak of it as immanent.
** p.6
* They [Millenarians] had, as Bultmann puts it, abolished history in favour of eschatology; but it was a premature abolition. Already in St. Paul and St. John there is a tendency to conceive of the End as happening at every moment; this is the moment when the modern concept of crisis was born - St. John puns on the Greek word, which means both 'judgment' and 'separation.' ...'In the sacramental church,' says Bultmann, 'eschatology is not abandoned but is neutralized in so far as the powers of the beyond are already working in the present.' No longer imminent, the End is immanent. So that it is not merely the remnant of time that has eschatological import; the whole of history, and the progress of the individual life, have it also, as a benefaction from the End, now immanent.
** p. 25
* [E]schatology is stretched over the whole of history, the End is present in every moment, the types always relevant.
* We project ourselves–a small, humble, elect perhaps–past the End, so as to see the structure whole, a thing we cannot do from our spot of time in the middle...

## Quotes about Kermode

* The Sense of an Ending" is a brief history of the paradigm and some of its variations. Kermode's book is an impressively learned, eloquent and brilliant defense of a non-schismatic view of human time. "At some very low level"- biological or psychological- "we all share certain fictions about time, and they testify to the continuity of what is called human nature." Man's position existentially is intermediary; he is born and dies "in the middle of things." What Kermode calls "fictions" (in both literature and the rest of life) are those "coherent patterns" which, by providing or implying an ending, "make possible a satisfying consonance with the origins and with the middle." These temporal fictions "humanize the common death" and allow us to coexist with temporal chaos.
