## Quotes

* I think it’s more difficult to be vegan than gay. I think people have a harder time accepting it; people feel more uncomfortable with a vegan at their dinner table than they do a lesbian. It’s confronting. It’s kind of suggesting that what someone else is doing is bad or wrong, and it hits them on a more personal level. … If somebody is setting there eating a steak watching you eat polenta, they’re thinking that you’re trying to preach to them or you’re trying to convert them in some way. Whereas with being gay, I don’t think anyone’s concerned that that’s the agenda. “Hey, Mom, you also have to be gay. I’m gay and so should you be!” Certainly when I told her that I was vegan, it forced her to look at her habits.
** Interview for VegNews magazine, July/August 2011 issue. Quoted in VegetarianStar.com.
* I’m vegan. It’s really changed, like, my eyes, my, you know, everything.
** Said in her shoot for People’s most beautiful list, as quoted in "Portia de Rossi Stays Youthful with Vegan Diet", in Ecorazzi (26 April 2013)

## Quotes

* As I get older, I’m finding myself being more cautious about what I get involved in. You want to make sure you have a good time. There’s nothing worse than getting stuck on a set with people you don’t enjoy working with. Life is too short; you have to have fun and enjoy what you do.

# Chris Gauthier

Christopher Gauthier (27 January 1976 – 23 February 2024) was an English-born Canadian actor.

## Quotes

* It’s hard to evaluate quality as it’s usually always passionate people working with different budgets. So a smaller show may have a more passionate director and production team than someone who is there for a big pay check and a history of good film. I treat it all the same which sounds very diplomatic but is true! Every once and a while you feel a little icky about some gigs but the vast majority of things I’ve been a part of, I’ve been proud of.

## Quotes

* The whole of time would not be long enough to tell you of my joy in being married to you. Joy is not measured just by lovely things: the birth of babies, the song of birds heard together, the fun of holidays — the lyrical-love of lying with you. Joy is to be found, too, in the relief after pain shared, in the good news following bad, in the knowledge of greater closeness after disaster.
** In her 10th Wedding Anniversary letter to her husband John Profumo, written in 1964, the year after the scandal in which his lying to the House of Commons and adultery was revealed.
* Never once since I met you have I been bored; never once have I not wanted you. And never once, even for a moment, have I not loved you with all my heart.
** Letter to her husband (1969)
* Love like that, any woman! If you get the chance, even if it may be a passing thing; even if the void seems all-encompassing when it comes, even if the heart bleeds almost to death, passionate love is worth it, it is worth it, it is worth all of it.
** Writing in 1989, recalling a joint visit to Paris in 1949.

## Quotes

* Long before the United Nations embraced the principle now known as "responsibility to protect" in cases of genocide crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, the African Union had already provided in in its constitutive Act that principle. States will no longer therefore hide under the clock of sovereignty to cover up crimes. So Africa is actually a pioneer in this field.

## Quotes

* Things don’t look very good. I was amazed to hear the details of Japanese atrocities. Even Major Skeen says that although he is doing his best for me, the case is quite hopeless.
** During his trial in Manila (January 1946); quoted in Lawrence Taylor, A Trial of Generals: Homma, Yamashita, MacArthur (1981)

## Quotes about Homma

* He said that the military force is a thing which should be used to defend the Motherland, and work in harmony and try to preserve the world peace, and should never be used to invade the other countries. He also said, constantly, that if a country ever engaged in a war of invasion, that country will inevitably lose. ... Because he studied about the United States, and England, because he was always interested in the world trends and kept his eyes open on it, and also because he understood Japan thoroughly, he realized that the spread of war was not only a misfortune for Japan but to all mankind. This view was not welcomed and was not popular among the people. People used to call him pro-American, a pro-American element. At that time that name was an insult.
** Testimony of Fujiko Homma, the accused's wife; quoted in Lawrence Taylor, A Trial of Generals (1981)

## Quotes about Stanisław Sosabowski

* Harsh and demanding for himself, demands a lot from his subordinates, paternal and fair in his judgments and punishments, is able to acquire the trust and love of the soldiers, so willing to pay a heart for the heart. He has this mysterious gift that always brings a rich harvest on a field of battle - the gift of making emotional knots between commander and subordinates.
** Kazimierz Sosnkowski (1990) in Preface to the book Droga wiodła ugorem. Wspomnienia by Stanisław Sosabowski
* Sosabowski was regarded as a hero by the Polish soldiers under his command, and he was greatly liked and respected by a number of British subordinates. However it has been well documented that he could be very stubborn and argumentative towards his superiors if they held differing views to his, and it was chiefly this that led to his eventual downfall.
* During the briefing for Comet, Hackett remembered a typically fanciful plan being presented, and Sosabowski saying in his 'lovely deep voice', "But the Germans, General, the Germans!".

## Quotes

* At exactly five o’clock thousands of windows flashed as they were flung open. From all sides a hail of bullets struck passing Germans, riddling their buildings and their marching formations. In the twinkling of an eye the remaining civilians disappeared from the streets. From the entrances of houses our men streamed out and rushed to the attack. In fifteen minutes an entire city of a million inhabitants was engulfed in the fight. Every kind of traffic ceased. As a big communications centre where roads from north, south, east, and west converged, in the immediate rear of the German front, Warsaw ceased to exist. The battle for the city was on.

## Quotes

* There exists a real danger that our friend Rommel is becoming a kind of magician or bogey-man to our troops, who are talking far too much about him. He is by no means a superman, although he is undoubtedly very energetic and able. Even if he were a superman it would still be highly undesirable that our men should credit him with supernatural powers. I wish you to dispel by all possible means the idea that Rommel represents something more than an ordinary German general. The important thing now is to see that we do not always talk of Rommel when we mean the enemy in Libya. We must refer to ‘the Germans’ or ‘the Axis powers’ or ‘the enemy’ and not always keep harping on Rommel. Please ensure that this order is put into immediate effect, and impress upon all Commanders that, from a psychological point of view, it is a matter of the highest importance.
** Letter to his subordinate commanders in North Africa (1942). Quoted in Desmond Young, Rommel: The Desert Fox (1950)

## Quotes

* If a man divides the whole of his work into two branches and delegates his responsibility, freely and properly, to two experienced heads of branches he will not have enough to do. The occasions when they would have to refer to him would be too few to keep him fully occupied. If he delegates to three heads he will be kept fairly busy whilst six heads of branches will give most bosses a ten hours' day. Those data are the results of centuries of the experiences of soldiers.
