# Ines Abdel-Dayem

Ines Abdel-Dayem (born in 1962) is an Egyptian flute player, the former Chairwoman of the Cairo Opera House and the former Minister of Culture of Egypt (2018 – 2022).

## Quotes

* I learnt a lot in the past two months. In fact I consider this period one of the most important experiences of my life. The protests, the weeks-long sit-in at the ministry, performances staged outside the headquarters every evening... There was great contact with the people, not only those directly involved in the arts scene or art lovers. We found regular people on the street interested in music and art. This will definitely be one of the crucial lessons that I have to take into consideration when looking at the role of the Cairo Opera House in society. Today we have to start thinking about how to reach out to all social strata and all generations.
* No doubt, there were days that one was worried. But we could always 'recharge the batteries' by going to the ministry of culture where the sit-in was staged, by attending or participating in the artistic events held there to hundreds-strong audiences every single night. There was an amazing spirit and shared confidence with people from all walks of life, from children and the young to elderly people.
* On a personal level, I discovered that so many people were ready to dedicate themselves totally to defending the cause they believed in. We were not sure what the shape of the political scene after 30 June will be and I have a special respect for all those who chose to stand up for Egypt's culture even when it could have jeopardised their careers, had events taken a different turn. But as we can all see today – after 30 June – artists and intellectuals, as well as all Egyptians defending their country's identity, are victorious. Now we need to ensure that we should go on enriching our great culture.
* There is a sense of security vacuum in the country, with all the protests and lives lost on an almost daily basis. We must not forget the audience's priority may not be the Ramadan programme at the Opera, especially when that programme in question does not provide interesting, new or artistically pertinent evenings.

# Luis Arce

Luis Arce (born 28 September 1963) is a Bolivian politician who currenly serves as the 67th and current President of Bolivia since 8 November 2020.

## Quotes

* We restore bilateral relations (with Venezuela) to strengthen strategic ties for the good of our peoples.
** Luis Arce (2021) cited in: "Maduro-appointed Venezuelan ambassador lands in Lima" in Merco Press, 29 December 2021.
* Today we find ourselves facing a wide-ranging, systemic capitalist crisis that increasingly endangers the life of humanity and the planet. We should not only reflect on the economic, social, food, climate, energy, water, and trade crises, but also identify with clarity the origin, in order to change a system that reproduces domination, exploitation, and exclusion of the large majorities, that generates the concentration of wealth in a few hands, and that prioritizes the production and reproduction of capital over the production and reproduction of life. Alongside the wide-ranging, systemic crisis of capitalism, we see the final gasp of the unipolar world. But unfortunately we are seeing the gradual deterioration of the multilateral system, because of the whims of the capitalist powers that will not accept the existence of a multipolar world with a balance of power.
** Luis Arce (2022) cited in: "At UN, Bolivia presents revolutionary 14-point socialist program to transform world." in Multipolarista, 28 September 2022
* We do not agree with talking about climate change because it is something that seems to necessarily happen. No, this is a climate crisis caused by the capitalist system that has done everything to bring us to this situation. Humanity is at risk and unfortunately the United Nations has not yet come to any concrete agreement to resolve this problem.

# Jeffrey M. Monforton

Jeffrey Marc Monforton (May 5, 1963) is an American prelate of Catholic Church who serves as the bishop of the Diocese of Steubenville.

## Quotes

* Our purpose in the Church is to share the light of Christ. We cannot allow scandals to impede our sharing of the Good News.
** We cannot allow scandals to impede our sharing of the Good News (October 11, 2018)
* What in our lives could be more important than receiving the Body and Blood of Christ each week? Recall how, for many of us who participated in team sports or band, we had to practice before the next game or concert. Well, by going to Mass every week, we become better Christians and most certainly have a better understanding of Jesus’ “game plan” for each and every one of us, as well as for the human family. As in sports, if you continue to miss practice, you become less and less an effective member of the team. While Mass is much more than practice, I hope you get the point.

"NO LIMITS: Ted Raimi On The Past, Present and Future of His One-of-a-kind Career!" (June 30, 2017)
* I would say it comes down to having your own life outside of Hollywood. It’s really just that simple. If you only live in the Hollywood world, you will be consumed by it. It will eat you alive. When you are finally spat out you will be someone who is wrecked emotionally, personally and financially. You have to have your own life outside this business. You have to have your own things that you dig, so that when you are told, “No,” and you will be told, “No” a million times, you will be OK and come out on your feet.
* I never think about what another actor would do with the part. I only think about what I would like to do. In other words, I start very unconventionally. The actors that I typically don’t care for are the ones who are trying to be like other actors. I just try to be like myself. I start big and I let the director bring me down from there. I start with way too much usually. That way, the director can pair it down to the size he wants. Some actors prefer to start very, very small and let the director sort of mold them but, for me, it’s the other way around.
* I would say, “Be yourself above all else.” Don’t try to be what Hollywood, your managers, your agents, friends, photographers or teachers want you to be. Be who you are. With that in mind, you will find that you will have a lot of hits and misses but you can always go home knowing who you are at the end of the day. That’s a rare thing in Hollywood. This town, though it appears it’s a dream factory and to some extent it is, produces a lot more bruised bananas than peaches, if you get my meaning.

# Karen Masters

Karen Masters (1979) is an astrophysicist and Associate Professor of Astrophysics in Haverford College, Pennsylvania exploring galaxy formation. She is also the project scientist for the citizen science project Galaxy Zoo, and uses the classifications to study the evolution of galaxies.

## Quotes

* I actually wanted to be an astronaut more than an astronomer for a quite a long time. Then I learned this would require I somehow become a US citizen (at the time Brits could not be ESA Astronauts because of the UK’s refusal to fund the human spaceflight part of ESA – although this has recently changed), and I also discovered how much detail I would be required to know about the space shuttle and just how fit I would have to be. I’m not really a detail oriented person, and I’m not that keen on the gym, so I gently switched my goal to becoming an astronomer! This also has the advantage of letting me keep my feet on the ground!
** She's an Astronomer: Karen Masters (November 2, 2009)

* A good sword and a trusty hand! A merry heart and true! King James’s men shall understand What Cornish lads can do.And have they fix’d the where and when? And shall Trelawny die? Here’s twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why!

* We see them not—we cannot hear The music of their wing— Yet know we that they sojourn near, The Angels of the spring!They glide along this lovely ground When the first violet grows; Their graceful hands have just unbound The zone of yonder rose.I gather it for thy dear breast, From stain and shadow free: That which an Angel’s touch hath blest Is meet, my love, for thee!
** "Are they not all Ministering Spirits?"
* They rear’d their lodges in the wilderness, Or built them cells beside the shadowy sea, And there they dwelt with angels, like a dream! So they unroll’d the Volume of the Book And fill’d the fields of the Evangelist With thoughts as sweet as flowers.
** "The First Fathers"
* There lies a cold corpse upon the sands Down by the rolling sea; Close up the eyes and straighten the hands As a Christian man’s should be.Bury it deep, for the good of my soul, Six feet below the ground; Let the sexton come and the death-bell toll And good men stand around.Lay it among the churchyard stones, Where the priest hath bless’d the clay: I cannot leave the unburied bones, And I fain would go my way.
** "Death Song"
* Thus said the rushing raven, Unto his hungry mate: ‘Ho! gossip! for Bude Haven: There be corpses six or eight. Cawk! cawk! the crew and skipper Are wallowing in the sea: So there’s a savoury supper For my old dame and me.’
** "A Croon on Hennacliff", st. 1 (1864)
