# Chester W. Wright

Chester Whitney Wright (1879 - 1966) was an American economic historian, and Professor at the University of Chicago, known from his works on the economic history of the United States.

## Quotes

* The materials collected in this volume are intended to acquaint the student with economic principles as they are manifested in the tangible facts of economic life. A few extracts of primarily theoretical character have been included to represent important aspects of contemporary or historic thought; but for the most part the selections are not so much authoritative formulations of economic laws as concrete case-material embodying such laws, or affording a background of information which the systematic treatises on economics can hardly give and which the teacher certainly cannot often assume that his students will possess.
** James A. Field, Leon C. Marshall and Chester W. Wright. Materials For the Study of Elementary Economics, University of Chicago Press, 1913. Preface
* The approach to the study of economic history that dominates the presentation of the subject in this volume is that of the economist whose immediate and primary function is to study the production and distribution of wealth with the objective of learning how the nation's economic progress can be promoted and its standard of living advanced. It can be called the functional approach to economic history. Although the narrative should provide such knowledge of the general background of economic history as is needed for most purposes in the interpretation of political history, and has frequently been turned aside to indicate the reactions thus involved, this has been a secondary rather than a primary consideration in the selection and organization of the material. Some material has been included because it served certain of the other objectives mentioned in the introductory chapter, though for the most part these objectives are served also by the material primarily of significance in relation to the major objective.
** Chester W. Wright (1941). Economic History of the United States, p. xi-xii " Wright (1941)

## Quotes about Chester W. Wright

* Within the limits of some 1120 pages Professor Wright has included an account of the major factors contributing to our economic development as well as a description of many of the minor influences. While the main emphasis is upon the evolution of economic institutions, attention is given to noneconomic factors which have affected economic life, and to the influence, in turn, of economic forces upon general historical development.

# Hilandar Monastery

Hilandar Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox Christian monastery in Mount Athos, Greece.

## Quotes about Hilandar Monastery

* With the status of an imperial lavra, Hilandar – independent and wealthy – was Serbia’s best diplomatic ‘envoy’ in Byzantium. Moreover, without the mediating agency of Hilandar, medieval Serbia would not have embraced Byzantine culture and civilization and adopted its ancient heritage so comprehensively. Everything that was best in Serbia, its ecclesiastical, political, and cultural elite, all passed through Hilandar, whose radiance cast its light and marked out the country – economically, politically, and culturally – as one of the great powers of medieval Europe.
** V. Janković, ‘The Serbian Tradition on Mount Athos’, in G. Speake and K. Ware (eds), Mount Athos: Microcosm of the Christian East (Oxford: Peter Lang, 2012), p. 85.

## Quotes

* [On dealing with sexism from male MPs] One of our colleagues from the northern group had complained about Mo [Mowlam]'s swearing, and he was in the tea room when we got there. So she said: "Oh, it's all right, I won't swear today. But you need to understand the real problems I'm having with my period." I've never seen anybody run faster out of the tea rooms.
** "'We needed a massive amount of resilience': the female Labour MPs from the class of '87", The Guardian (24 March 2023).
** At the 1987 general election, 41 female MPs (6.3% of the 650 total) were returned to the House of Commons. Armstrong and Mowlam shared a flat at the time.

## Quotes

* My grandfather saw a lot of violence and a lot of poverty, and really was incredibly, deeply tortured by it. It was always this elephant in the room that we never talked about growing up. He spoke fluent Spanish, but never in front of us. I think he was really afraid that we would be judged and held back by our Mexican heritage, like he was. Part of writing this play was like digging up my own family ghosts and things that I personally had always been afraid to talk about, because my family never talked about them. Also, because I’m Mexican and I’m white, I often struggle with wondering if I’m “allowed” to tell stories through this lens; growing up, the white kids always told me I was Latina or “ethnic,” and the Chicano kids always told me I was a “gringa,” so I never really felt like I fit in anywhere…
** On her play The Ghosts of Lote Bravo in “The Borders of Our Lives” (American Theatre; Feb 2018)
* There is no one answer about why women are historically, across just about all of civilization, treated this way. It’s economics, it’s religion, it’s the reality of sex and pregnancy for women. It’s these value systems that get passed down from generation to generation that need questioning…Women haven’t survived for eons by being “weak” and “emotional.” We’ve survived by being a hell of a lot tougher and braver than we’re given credit for…
** On why women are treated poorly throughout the world in “The Borders of Our Lives” (American Theatre; Feb 2018)
* If you and your children were starving, if you saw violence and murder every single day, and just on the horizon is a safe country where people are allowed to dream, can make a decent living, of course you would cross the border. Any mother or father in their right mind would. We need to have compassion for this.
** On why Mexicans cross the border in “The Borders of Our Lives” (American Theatre; Feb 2018)
* It’s really a play about these big ideas that don’t have any sort of definitive conclusion…What I hope people get out of it is—as uncomfortable as it is—to be able to live in these gray areas of conversation that none of us have answers to and see the humanity in people, even if you don’t agree with them.
** On her play Queen of Basel in “After a Hit With FX’s The Americans, Hilary Bettis Is Back in Theatre” in Playbill (2019 Mar 29)

# Cockfight

A cockfight is a blood sport between two roosters (cocks), or more accurately gamecocks, held in a ring called a cockpit.

## Quotes

* I didn't see it, but it sounds barbaric. It's become like cock-fighting: poor dumb brutes being set upon each other by conniving television producers.
** Boris Johnson, reported in David Smith, "Focus: Big Brother brawl", Observer, 20 June 2004, p. 17; referring to the TV series, Big Brother.
* Cock-fighting must be considered a barbarous diversion.
** Lord Ellenborough, Squires v. Whisken (1811), 3 Camp. Rep. 141; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 30.
* Cockfighting has always been my idea of a great sport— two armed entrées battling to see who'll be dinner.
** P. J. O'Rourke, Holidays in Hell (1989).
* To one that promised to give him hardy cocks that would die fighting, "Prithee," said Cleomenes, "give me cocks that will kill fighting."
** Plutarch, 61 Cleomenes.
* Trade hardly deems the busy day begun Till his keen eye along the sheet has run; The blooming daughter throws her needle by, And reads her schoolmate's marriage with a sigh; While the grave mother puts her glasses on, And gives a tear to some old crony gone. The preacher, too, his Sunday theme lays down To know what last new folly fills the town; Lively or sad, life's meanest, mightiest things, The fate of fighting cocks, or fighting kings.
** Charles Sprague, Curiosity.
# Cockatiel

The cockatiel is a medium-sized parrot, belonging to the family Cacatuidae. Cockatiels are native to Australia and, world-wide, are extremely popular as pets.

## Quotes

* Viewed from its potential as a pet bird, the cockatiel is undoubtedly the finest of all parrot-like birds.
** Anmarie Barrie, Guide to Owning a Cockatiel. T.F.H. Publications. 1997. p. 55. ISBN 9780793820023.
* The feeding ecology of the cockatiel Nymphicus hollandicus was studied in a grain-growing district near Moree, in northern New South Wales, between August 1980 and June 1982, by direct observations and monthly collections of birds in feeding flocks. Cockatiels fed from the ground, on fallen seed or by felling stems, and, when feeding on sorghum and sunflowers, while perched on the seed heads. The mean size of a feeding flock was 27; large flocks of more than 100 birds were formed only during periods of limited food supply. Cockatiels showed a clear preference for sorghum over sunflowers, and when on cereals they appeared to prefer softer, younger seed to harder, mature seed. Overall they fed on 29 seed types, including four grain-crops, 17 grasses and eight non-grass ground plants.
** Darryl Jones, (1987)"Feeding Ecology of the Cockatiel, Nymphicus-Hollandicus, in a Grain-Growing Area". Wildlife Research 14. DOI:10.1071/WR9870105.
* ... I've always known I am different. At times that has made me feel shy and awkward among other people, as if they were looking at me funny. (Possibly because the cockatiel who sat on my head as I worked left droppings in my hair.)
** Sy Montgomery, "Chapter 1. Runthood". The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood. Random House Publishing. 30 May 2006. ISBN 9780345493811.
* The cockatiel, Nymphicus hollandicus, is undoubtedly one of the most popular species among aviculturists. Next to the budgerigar, it is the most popular psittacine as a pet. It can be reproduced quite easily in just about any type of aviary. It is easy to sex (except for the pied) and when tame makes a very enchanting pet. One of the main reasons for its popularity among aviculturists is that several mutations have occurred in this species. There is a great fascination in acquiring two or more mutation colors on one bird.
** Dale R. Thompson, (August/September 1982) "Cockatiel Mutations". AFA Watchbird Magazine 9 (4): 14–17.

## Quotes

* I felt like I needed to hit through the court
* But obviously, in the wind, it's tough to be as aggressive as you want, because the bounces are weird and the ball was moving. So I'm glad I made that adjustment and didn't get too frustrated when I missed. You pay the price for hopefully a good reward.
* Against Aryna it's never easy. I'm just going to do my best and focus on myself and what I want to do on court. We usually have these matches that are really exciting and really tough, both mentally and physically.

# Deinonychus

Deinonychus is a genus of medium dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 115–108 million years ago during the later part of the Cretaceous Period.

## Quotes

* Although of modest size, this creature was one of the most unusual of all dinosaurs and provides entirely new insight on the classification of predaceous dinosaurs and on the surprisingly sophisticated capabilities possessed by some theropods.
** John H. Ostrom (1969) Osteology of Deinonychus antirrhopus, an unusual theropod from the Lower Cretaceous of Montana, Peabody Museum of Natural History Bulletin 30:1-165
* In my opinion, the foot of Deinonychus is perhaps the most revealing bit of anatomical evidence pertaining to dinosaur habits and capabilities to be discovered in many decades. Grandiose statements of this kind are, of course, easily rejected, but the functional implications of Deinonychus are not so easily discarded - especially in view of the other remarkable adaptations of this animal. Deinonychus must have been anything but reptilian in its behavior, responses and way of life. It must have been a fleet-footed, highly predaceous, extremely agile and very active animal, sensitive to many stimuli and quick in its responses. These in turn indicate and unusual level of activity from a reptile and suggest an unusually high metabolic rate.
** John H. Ostrom (1969) Osteology of Deinonychus antirrhopus, an unusual theropod from the Lower Cretaceous of Montana, Peabody Museum of Natural History Bulletin 30:1-165
* Put a leopard and Deinonychus together and the former would be in trouble.
** Gregory S. Paul (1988) Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, Simon and Schuster, p. 362-363
* Deinonychus is considered a medium dinosaur. But the largest individual was an eleven-foot-long animal whose head approached half a yard long, and was of male-timber-wolf mass. If alive today it would be considered a big predator.
** Gregory S. Paul (1988) Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, Simon and Schuster, p. 367
