## Quotes

* δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω.
** Give me the place to stand, and I shall move the earth.
*** Archimedes, in Pappus of Alexandria, Synagoge, Book VIII, c. AD 340
* One needs occasionally to stand aside from the hum and rush of human interests and passions to hear the voices of God. And it not unfrequently happens that the All-loving gives a great push to certain souls to thrust them out, as it were, from the distracting current for awhile to promote their discipline and growth, or to enrich them by communion and reflection. And similarly it may be woman's privilege from her peculiar coigne of vantage as a quiet observer, to whisper just the needed suggestion or the almost forgotten truth. The colored woman, then, should not be ignored because her bark is resting in the silent waters of the sheltered cove. She is watching the movements of the contestants none the less and is all the better qualified, perhaps, to weigh and judge and advise because not herself in the excitement of the race.
** Anna Julia Cooper, A Voice from the South by a Black Woman of the South (1892), p. 138
* Make Christianity your own, and it will show you a point outside the world, and by means of this you will move heaven and earth.
** Søren Kierkegaard, Works of Love (1847) as translated by Howard V. Hong and Edna H. Hong (1995), p. 136
* Soweit es sich hier um „Paria"-Intellektualismus handelt, ... beruht dessen Intensität darauf, daß die außerhalb oder am unteren Ende der sozialen Hierarchie stehenden Schichten gewissermaßen auf dem archimedischen Punkt gegenüber den gesellschaftlichen Konventionen, sowohl was die äußere Ordnung wie was die üblichen Meinungen angeht, stehen. Sie sind daher einer durch jene Konvention nicht gebundenen originären Stellungnahme zum „Sinn" des Kosmos und eines starken, durch materielle Rücksicht nicht gehemmten, ethischen und religiösen Pathos fähig.
** Pariah intellectualism ... derives its intensity from the fact that the groups which are at the lower end of, or altogether outside of, the social hierarchy stand to a certain extent on the point of Archimedes in relation to social conventions, both in respect to the external order and in relation to common opinions. Since these groups are not bound by the social conventions, they are capable of an original attitude toward the meaning of the cosmos; and since they are not impeded by any material considerations, they are capable of intense ethical and religious emotion.
*** Max Weber, Economy and Society (1922), p. 507

# Archimedean Dynasty

Archimedean Dynasty is a submarine shooter game released in 1996.

# Trailer second version:

    In school, they taught us our history lies above the surface of the sea.
    They taught us it was a history of wars. Wars of increasing insanity and ever more powerful weapons.
    Wars which came to destroy even the idea of peace.
    When man joined the battle for the last resources on Earth, it was understood who the victor would be:
    No one.
    In the end, money decided who was right and who was wrong.
    But I decided who I worked for, and which jobs I took.
    That's the way things used to be...
    Whole cities disappear, taking thousands of innocents with them.
    And all of a sudden, right and wrong isn't a question of money...because humanity ends, when the deep begins...

## Quotes

* A poem should not mean But be.
** "Ars Poetica", Collected Poems, 1917-1982 (1985)
* Races didn't bother the Americans. They were something a lot better than any race. They were a People. They were the first self-constituted, self-declared, self-created People in the history of the world. And their manners were their own business. And so were their politics. And so, but ten times so, were their souls.
** "The American Cause", address delivered at Faneuil Hall, Boston, Massachusetts (November 20, 1940); reported in MacLeish, A Time to Act; Selected Addresses (1943), p. 115
* The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
** "In Praise of Dissent", New York Times (16 December 1956)
* It is not in the world of ideas that life is lived. Life is lived for better or worse in life, and to a man in life, his life can be no more absurd than it can be the opposite of absurd, whatever that opposite may be.

# Archie Carr

Archie Fairly Carr, Jr. (June 16, 1909 – May 21, 1987) was an American herpetologist, ecologist and a pioneering conservationist.

## Quotes

* The freshwater fish fauna of Florida is one of the most interesting in the United States. It is a fauna developed in a region of recent geologic origin, low topographic relief, poor drainage, and unusual geographic configuration, and consequently exhibits certain very peculiar features. Some of the characteristic continental groups apparently have not had time to establish themselves in the peninsula since its elevation above the sea, while others have doubtless failed to find suitable conditions in its low and swamp-bordered water courses.
** "A key to the fresh-water fishes of Florida". In: Proceedings of the Florida Academy of Sciences. vol. 1. 1936. pp. 72–86. (quote from p. 72)
* Only a little while ago the oceans seemed unassailable—too big and stable to be hurt by man, too teeming with life to let him ever go hungry. But now we know better. Suddenly, even the myriad creatures of the sea are suffering from human intemperance. The offal of cities circles the world in global currents; beaches are strewn with the cast-off artifacts of men two thousand miles away.
** (March 1972)"Great reptiles, great enigmas": 24–34. (quote from p. 24)
* Sea turtles of all kinds are peculiarly prone to eat plastic scraps and other buoyant debris and to tangle themselved in lines and netting discarded by fishermen, and records of such mishaps have increased markedly in recent years.
** (June 1987)"Impact of nondegradable marine debris on the ecology and survival outlook of sea turtles". Marine Pollution Bulletin 18 (6): 352–356. (quote from p. 352)

## Quotes about Carr

* During his lifetime, Carr, the "Turtle Man," was recognized as the foremost authority on turtles. He helped dispel the myths and folklore about turtles. His extensive studies of the migrations and habits of turtles enabled him to locate the optimal areas for turtles to live and breed. His consistent efforts for the conservation of turtles have helped to increase their population throughout the world.

### "Mencari Rahmat – The Importance of Adaptation: Al Jafree Md Yusop in conversation with Eddin Khoo" (2020)

Mencari Rahmat – The Importance of Adaptation: Al Jafree Md Yusop in conversation with Eddin Khoo (Nov 22, 2020)
* My late grandmother used to say that the most damning thing is when good people remain unaware of the bad they have done. That, to me, is the theme of 'Mencari Rahmat'. Society often acts cruelly without realising it. It expounds further the notion that humanity’s worst enemy is itself. In 'Mencari Rahmat' I add that humanity’s worst enemy is society itself.
* Many have reminded me that directors like Wong Kar Wai have directed their films without a screenplay. But it must be remembered that Wong Kar Wai emerged as a filmmaker following a period as a scriptwriter who had written hundreds of scripts for television. He has understood and become synergised with the process of shaping a screenplay. The art of the screenplay is very important, and the neglect of it is one of the principal problems with filmmaking in Malaysia.
* There are two adaptations of play scripts for films that I love – 'Long Day’s Journey Into the Night', directed by Sidney Lumet from the play script of Eugene O’Neill and 'Throne of Blood', directed by Akira Kurosawa from Shakespeare’s 'Macbeth'. Sidney Lumet was incredibly brave in representing O’ Neill’s play without any changes. This was my inspiration when producing the film 'Mencari Rahmat'. I used the original script of the stage production without any changes. Lumet proved this could be done successfully. 'Throne of Blood', meanwhile, is an example of how a work from the West can be adapted for the cultures of the East. Most important was its subject, which remained relevant even as the cultures were very different. Kurosawa gave me the confidence that this could be done.
* I once watched a production of Arthur Miller’s 'Death of a Salesman', done in translation. I had a problem relating with what I was watching when the character Willy Loman spoke in Malay but referred to places like Brooklyn and New York. I felt detached while watching it. It was here that the importance of adaptation was affirmed for me.

# Al Jazeera

w:Al Jazeera Al Jazeera Arabic (Arabic: الجزيرة Al-Jazīrah [æl (d)ʒæˈziːrɐ], lit. 'The Peninsula') is a Qatari state-owned Arabic-language news television network. It is based in Doha and operated by the Al Jazeera Media Network, which also operates Al Jazeera English. It is the largest news network in the Middle East and North Africa region.[3][4] It was founded in 1996 by the then Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. Al Jazeera gained popularity in the Arab World as an alternative to the previous landscape of largely local state owned broadcasters,[5] with its early coverage being openly critical of autocratic leaders in the region, as well as hosting a wide range of viewpoints,[6] gaining credibility through its extensive frontline coverage of the Second Intifada and the Iraq War.[7] Independent sources have described Al Jazeera Arabic's news coverage as more partisan than that of Al Jazeera English[8][5][6], with the station openly supporting the 2011 Arab Spring,[5] as well as giving favourable coverage of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups.[8][5]

# Bhil

Bhils or Bheels are an Indo-Aryan speaking ethnic group in West India. They speak the Bhil languages, a subgroup of the Western Zone of the Indo-Aryan languages. As of 2013, Bhils were the largest tribal group in India.

## Quotes

* The Bhils who mainly reside in the hilly country between Abu and Asirgarh and have also spread into the plains of Gujarat and spilled over into northern Deccan, are Hindus. Some even claim to be reckoned as Rajputs. But many of their sub-tribes or kuls pay no respect to the Brahmanas or Hindu Gods, nor do they build temples. They worship only Devi, but celebrate Holi, Dushera and Diwali like other Hindus.” They have always remained Hindu. It is not only among the Bhils but all over the country that many tribes have as many forms of Hinduism as are permitted by the Hindu spirit of accommodating social and religious diversities.
** Lal, K. S. (1995). Growth of scheduled tribes and castes in medieval India. 15
* The Bhils have long ceased to be a homogeneous people. In the course of millennia, various ele- ments have fused to shape the community. During their long and tortuous history, other aboriginal groups which came under their sway have probably merged with them, losing their identity. One can see a wide range of physical types and complexion. The vari- ation in complexion is very striking indeed, ranging between fair to quite dark-skinned... There is no consensus among scholars on the exact ethnic character of the Bhils. They have been alternatively described as proto-Australoid, Dravidian or Veddoid.
** P.A. Augustine, Bhils of Rajasthan, quoted in Elst K Indigenous Indians: Agastya to Ambedkar (1993) 182
* The second largest Scheduled Tribe of India is the Bhil community, spread out in southern Rajasthan, western Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and northern Maharashtra. They speak Bhili which belongs to the family of Sanskrit. They are the largest Vanavasi community in Gujarat. Nearly all the Bhils identify themselves as Hindus and celebrate festivals like Holi, Diwali, Navaratri, Rakhi, etc. Historically, the Bhils played an important role in the coronation ceremony of many Rajput chiefs.

# Bhikkhu

A bhikkhu is an ordained male monk in Buddhism.

## Quotes

* Here, friend Sāriputta, a bhikkhu is a forest dweller himself and speaks in praise of forest dwelling; he is an almsfood eater himself and speaks in praise of eating almsfood; he is a refuse-rag wearer himself and speaks in praise of wearing refuse-rag robes; he is a triple-robe wearer himself and speaks in praise of wearing the triple robe; he has few wishes himself and speaks in praise of fewness of wishes; he is content himself and speaks in praise of contentment; he is secluded himself and speaks in praise of seclusion; he is aloof from society himself and speaks in praise of aloofness from society; he is energetic himself and speaks in praise of arousing energy; he has attained to virtue himself and speaks in praise of the attainment of virtue; he has attained to concentration himself and speaks in praise of the attainment of concentration; he has attained to wisdom himself and speaks in praise of the attainment of wisdom; he has attained to deliverance himself and speaks in praise of the attainment of deliverance; he has attained to the knowledge and vision of deliverance himself and speaks in praise of the attainment of the knowledge and vision of deliverance. That kind of bhikkhu could illuminate this Gosinga Sāla-tree Wood.
** Gautama Buddha, Mahāgosinga Sutta, Sutta 32, Verse 7, Majjhima Nikaya, as translated by Bhikkhu Ñāṇamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi (Wisdom Publications: 1995), p. 309
* Thus have I heard at one time. The Lord Buddha was in residence in the garden of Amrapali, in the city of Vaisali, attended by a great gathering. Of bhikshus there were eight thousand, all saints. They were free from impurities and afflictions, and all had attained self-mastery. Their minds were entirely liberated by perfect knowledge. They were calm and dignified, like royal elephants. They had accomplished their work, done what they had to do, cast off their burdens, attained their goals, and totally destroyed the bonds of existence. They all had attained the utmost perfection of every form of mind control.
** Vimalakirti Sutra, Chapter I, as translated by Robert Thurman in The Holy Teaching of Vimalakīrti: A Mahāyāna Scripture, Motilal Banarsidass, 1991, ISBN 8120808746.

# Bharuch

Bharuch (Gujarati: ભરૂચ, Bharūca, About this soundlisten (help·info)), formerly known as Broach or Bhrugukachchha, is a city at the mouth of the river Narmada in Gujarat in western India. Bharuch is the administrative headquarters of Bharuch District.
The city of Bharuch and surroundings have been settled since times of antiquity. It was a ship building centre and sea port in the pre-compass coastal trading routes to points West, perhaps as far back as the days of the pharaohs. The route made use of the regular and predictable monsoon winds or galleys. Many goods from the Far East (the famed Spice and Silk trade) were shipped there during the annual monsoon winds, making it a terminus for several key land-sea trade routes. Bharuch was known to the Greeks, the various Persian Empires, in the Roman Republic and Empire, and in other Western centres of civilisation through the end of the European Middle Ages. During the British Raj it was officially known as Broach.

## Quotes

* Broach (Bharuch) is south of Baroda (Vadodara). Here you can find a temple of Bhrigu Rishi on the bank of the river east of town. Bhrigu was the great astrologer who is given credit for the astrological treatise called the Bhrigu Samhita. Followers of Bhrigu are usually very good astrologers.

* Unlike the Patan Mosque, the Jami‘ Masjid of Bharoch, which is also dated C. AH 700/AD 1300 is a new creation. Although it does incorporate Hindu pillars, it is built on the usual Mosque plan with which we are familiar in earlier works. The brackets of the incorporated pillars and the carved interior of the corbelled domes are particularly fine. They, of course, necessarily recall the much earlier work of the Quwwat al-Islam at Delhi. It is important to realize that these primitive methods were still being used in the Indian provinces two hundred years after they were fully developed at Delhi.
