    Martijn van den Bel; Lodewijk Hulsman; Lodewijk Wagenaar (eds.) The Voyages of Adriaan van Berkel to Guiana (Sidestone Press, 2014)
* Dit dansen duurt tot aan den dag, wanneer ieder zijne hangmat gaat ophangen, en een poos slapen. Ondertusschen bevond ik hier het spreekwoord waarachtig, dat een dronke Vrouw een opene deur is: want niet zo haast waren de herssenen door den drank beneveld, en den avond gevallen, of alle schuilhoeken wierden paarhokken; waar na ze zich stilletjes weder aan den dans voegden, even of ’er niets was omgegaan.
** These dances continue till daybreak when everybody goes off to tie his hammock and sleep for a while. In the meantime, I found the old saying to be true here: a drunken woman is an open door, because no sooner were their brains muddled with drink; the evening fell and all the hideouts became boxes for couples, after which they would stealthily rejoin the dance as if nothing had happened.

** It is said that faint-hearted people are often treacherous. Various nations interact with the people of this colony and trade, but the original inhabitants of the country are Charibes, or cannibals, who are quite the most numerous of those who occupy these lands; they have spread themselves mostly onto all the islands in the vicinity, and across the mainland along the Amazon River to the Orinoque.

# Hala Shukrallah

Hala Shukrallah (born in 1954) is the former president of the Egyptian Constitution Party, having succeeded Sayed Kassem as the party's leader. She is the first Coptic woman to head an Egyptian political party.

## Quotes

* There’s really no comparison to the Sadat era, in many ways it’s worse but in ways it’s also better. When we were imprisoned for our activism in the 70s, no one knew about it. There was no social media of course and no state media would cover such things.
* There is now a shift in tactics, since outright street protest have become dangerous and, she says, “almost suicidal.” There’s been a renewed emphasis on media exposure and grass roots activities like regular “I am an Egyptian citizen” events, where young people visit slums and villages and speak about human rights issues while painting walls, picking up garbage or fixing train signals.
* That’s what happens when a political force uses violence - like the Brotherhood. They did it in a way that marginalised the democratic opposition movements - they were against democracy and against the state. Sadat supported them as a foil to democratic opposition.
* The Islamist movement was and still is a red herring that deviates completely from the real struggle. Its ongoing violence, most recently felt by a string of bombs in Cairo and in the Sinai, also used justify repression.

## Quotes

* Egypt has an honourable history in the advocacy and defence of human rights, unlike some countries that always attack Egypt on its human rights record.
* The right to peace, justice and development is enshrined in the declaration’s preamble. Egypt has a solid record in the pursuit of these goals. It has struggled to realise ambitious developmental aims despite arduous circumstances and limited resources. Its war against terrorism helps protect the region and the world from this blight while the government has made more progress in development in recent years than previous governments had in 50 years.
* Unfortunately, the question of human rights is sometimes used as a propaganda tool. In this regard, Egypt has recently been the focus of another wave of criticism by parties driven by political, economic or personal agendas and whose attacks rely on unsubstantiated sources or plain fiction. As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the mother of human rights instruments, it seems worth making a calm and reasoned assessment of how Egypt truly fares in terms of its provisions.
* With respect to the right to life, liberty and security of person (Article 3), Egypt’s efforts to fight for peace and security through its fight against terrorism have received worldwide admiration and recognition. One of the government’s main responsibilities is to meet the people’s need for safety and security and it has met with considerable success in this domain.
* In Europe, too, racism — one of the worst human rights violations — is widespread. Related to this is the way European countries handle the problem of refugees. There, they are not even treated as human beings, in contrast to Egypt which, according to a report by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, is one of the most humane countries in its treatment of refugees (see Article 14). Egypt does not pen up refugees in camps. They are welcome as ordinary members of society and enjoy the same rights and duties as others.

## Quotes

* Some two or three months after I arrived in prison [in 1959], I felt a desire to paint and with it came a refusal to surrender to the status quo…I would go up to the roof of the building to paint anything I could find, eventually painting the inmates.
* One of the most important subjects I painted from inside the prison was Inshirah, who had been sentenced to death, but her execution had been postponed for one year until her child was weaned. Those sentenced to be executed were placed in a cell under special guard so they wouldn’t commit suicide, and they wore red uniforms. While awaiting Inshirah’s execution, I felt the massive tragedy of her story, as she had killed and stolen under the pressure of extremely harsh conditions and overwhelming misery. When I asked to paint her, the director [of the prison] told me that it would be very depressing. I did indeed paint her and her son - this was one of the paintings that were confiscated by the Criminal Investigations Department.
* There was a small tributary of the Nile where sailboats would pass by. We would watch from inside the prison as the sails caught the wind and men climbed up the masts to tie them down. Seeing the wind in the sails stirred many sorrows in me, and sparked an uncontrollable desire for freedom.. I obtained permission from the General Manager to go up to the roof of the warehouse..[and] when the boats appeared [the other inmates] cried out ‘The boats are here!’ I painted many pictures of sailboats, depicting our immobility against the movement of the sails.
* After some time I lost the desire to paint the prison and its inmates — the whole place disgusted me. I began to paint what nature there was behind bars, as we did have some gardens, trees and flowers. I was fascinated by a tree that was near the barbed wire - I’d paint it in every season, and such meticulous attention to a single object taught me a lot. If I’d be outside the prison I never would have painted just that one tree. My fellow inmates even named the tree after me; they called it ‘Inji’s tree.
# Rawya Ateya

# Zainab al-Ghazali

Zaynab al-Ghazali (January 1917 – 3 August 2005) was an Egyptian Muslim activist. She was the founder of the Muslim Women's Association (Jamaa'at al-Sayyidaat al-Muslimaat, also known as the Muslim Ladies' Society). The historian Eugene Rogan has called her "the pioneer of the Islamist women's movement" and also said she was "one of [Sayyid] Qutb's most influential disciples.

## Quotes

* I feel that my father was always here with me and this feeling of accompaniment is not the same with my other family members.
* I pray the morning prayer. After repenting for my sins and praying to the Prophet for almost an hour, I listen to the news from the world. Then, I remain with the greatness of the Holy Qur’ān and with the Prophetic aḥadīṯh until the sleep catches me and I sleep an hour or two. Afterwards, I go to my office and I perform the two bowings of the duha [a morning prayer], after which I do not leave my office except for prayers or for an appointment out of the house, and all my appointments out of the house are in the interests of the da‘wa.
* She is allowed, for instance, to run for public office or to hold the position of a judge; I am however against the idea that a woman should be allowed to hold the position of President or Prime Minister of a Muslim
nation.
* That in a perfect world, where jihād is not necessary, women would not need to leave their home. On the one hand, then, women’s permissible political work is not seen to threaten the gendered status quo, since it does not entail achieving power. Once a metaphor for nation-building, the woman now has become “the metaphor for a family-centered and Islamically defined social cohesion. On the other hand, however, even if these women leave home when the faith calls,
they cannot be totally “domesticized” and modern notions of “public” and “private” are ill-suited to define their lives. The emphasis on women’s primary loyalty to the faith, even if framed within their role as wives and producers of future Muslims, means that women are not shown as necessarily relegated exclusively to the domestic sphere. Thus, even though the boundaries of the domestic are permeable only in specific circumstances, protecting the faith and preserving the community provide compelling reasons to disobey fathers and husbands.
# Nabawiyya Musa

Nabawiyya Mohamed Musa Badawia (Arabic: نبوية موسى محمد بدوية; December 17, 1886 – April 30, 1951) was an Egyptian nationalist and feminist and is recognized as one of the founding feminists of the 20th century in Egypt.

## Quotes

* I preferred to live as master of men, not their servant.
* Men claim they have superior intelligence, saying there have been more men of genius than women. They forget that only when people use their gifts do they develop. That is why poor men who have spent their lives as cooks or tailors have not excelled in the arts or sciences. How can we expect, therefore, to find women whose knowledge is confined to this sphere excelling as geniuses?
* There was no religious prohibition of showing a woman's face, that Egyptian peasants do not cover their faces, and that the white transparent cloth barely covers the face.
* Since you men claim to be wiser and have better minds than women, then how come you are seduced by seeing their faces.

# Al Pacino

Alfredo James Pacino (born April 25, 1940) is an Academy Award-, Golden Globe-, Tony-, BAFTA-, Emmy- and Screen Actors Guild Awards-winning American film and stage actor and director.

## Quotes
### Producing Off-Off-Broadway (2007)

* Off-Off-Broadway is absolutely necessary. It doesn't have to be sanctioned by the state, subsidized or anything. The plank and the passion is what it's about.
* You need friends, especially in the theatre, you need friends. You need people to interchange with, interface with, connect with. Together you’re going to make it, you’re going to do it together, you’re going to put it on, whatever it is.
* The greatest theatre that I experienced in my life was The Living Theatre and they were Off-Off-Broadway. And that was in the fifties.

## Quotes about Pacino

* [Insomnia]’s a film that I look back on with great fondness. Working with Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank was an incredible experience. Sometimes, when people look for connections in your work, they look more at things like budget level than at the filmmaking itself. If you compare it to Oppenheimer, for example, there’s a similar attempt to try and convey the subjective experience of the protagonist. In the case of Pacino’s character, he’s suffering from a distortion of perception due to lack of sleep, and it’s not a million miles away from what I’m trying to do with showing Oppenheimer’s internal process, particularly at the beginning of the film.

# Efraim Zuroff

Efraim Zuroff (born August 5, 1948) is an American-born Israeli historian and Nazi hunter who has played a key role in bringing indicted Nazi and fascist war criminals to trial.

## Quotes

* The passage of a ban on Nazism and Communism equates the most genocidal regime in human history with the regime which liberated Auschwitz and helped end the reign of terror of the Third Reich. In the same spirit the decision to honor local Nazi collaborators and grant them special benefits turns Hitler's henchmen into heroes despite their active and zealous participation in the mass murder of innocent Jews. These attempts to rewrite history, which are prevalent throughout post-Communist Eastern Europe, can never erase the crimes committed by Nazi collaborators in these countries, and only proves that they clearly lack the Western values which they claim to have embraced upon their transition to democracy.
** Simon Wiesenthal Center Slams Decisions by Ukrainian Parliament to Equate Nazism and Communism and to Recognize Local Nazi Collaborators as "Freedom Fighters" (2015)
* Holodomor is definitely not a genocide. [...] Stalin decided he wanted to eliminate the kulaks – the private farmers – and get them all into collective farms, and totally change the nature of agriculture in Ukraine. [...] Ukrainians were the largest number of victims, but it wasn’t directed against them, it wasn’t a plan to eliminate the Ukrainian people. [...] There were Jews who died from the hunger, as did Belarusians and Russians – Stalin used force to get people into his system, but was not trying to exterminate the Ukrainians. That is absurd. The largest number of victims were Ukrainians, but it was not genocide. One of the biggest problems we are facing now is something called the ‘double genocide theory,’ something prevalent throughout eastern Europe, where governments are trying to say that Communist crimes amounted to genocide. [...] It was not ethnically oriented, it was economically and politically oriented – these were crimes against a particular class of people, like the kulaks – or against political opponents.

* We didn’t say a word to Poroshenko about antisemitism on the day they put a plaque up for Petliura.
** Zuroff: Israel should not recognize Holodomor as genocide, The Jesuralem Post, 22 January 2019
* There has not been a single conviction in Ukraine against a person who committee antisemitism. This is ridiculous.
