## Quotes
### Everyman's Dictionary of Music (London: J. M Dent & Sons; 3rd ed. 1958)

* In future editions many of those who may die in the meantime will, of course, be added. All the same, it is hoped that this announcement will not start an immediate wave of suicide among singers and players.
** Explaining that he has excluded living performers. Preface, p. vi.
* Blues. An American dance stemming from the Foxtrot, the speed of which it reduced and into which it brought a deliberately contrived dismal atmosphere. When Blues are sung their words seem to aim at attaining to the utmost depths of gloom and inanity.
** Article, Blues, p. 60
* Crooning. A reprehensible form of singing that established itself in light entertainment music in about the 1930s. It recommended itself at first to would-be singers without voices who were unable to acquire an adequate technique and later to a large public because anything, however inartistic, is likely to become popular if only it is done often enough by a large enough number of people.

## Sourced

* A scholar like myself who is not a Sinologist and yet ventures the proposition that Chinese languages should be rewritten in the Greek alphabet (or "Romanized", to use the current term) is treading on uncharted territory (for him) and does so at his peril.
** "Chinese Characters and the Greek Alphabet" in Sino-Platonic Papers, 5 (December 1987)
* Over the years, I have become convinced that Hellenism as a culture represents not a static condition of uniform sublimity mysteriously achieved and maintained as an effect of some racial advantage. Rather it should be understood as an evolving process, governed by a dynamic of change, as both language and thought underwent transformational alteration caused by a transition from orality to literacy. The instrument of change is discerned to be the invention of the Greek alphabet, at a quite late stage in the history of developing cultures.
** "Chinese Characters and the Greek Alphabet" in Sino-Platonic Papers, 5 (December 1987)
* Speech is an acoustic reality, writing a visual one. Performance of the former has been perfected through a million years of natural selection in the evolutionary process. The latter is a trick which we began to learn only yesterday (in terms of evolutionary time). To "hear" language (and to "say" it) is programmed in our genes; to "see" it (and "read" it) is not.
** "Chinese Characters and the Greek Alphabet" in Sino-Platonic Papers, 5 (December 1987)
* Could it be argued that if the Chinese revolution seems to be a response to the needs of rural society, whereas the Russian is an urbanized phenomenon, this difference corresponds to that which exists between the users of two different forms of written communication, the one archaic, the other alphabetic?
** "Chinese Characters and the Greek Alphabet" in Sino-Platonic Papers, 5 (December 1987)
* What our story, however, has demonstrated is the astonishingly checkered, not to say hazardous, career of a reading device which we in the West now take so much for granted. Historians have acclaimed the "triumph of the alphabet," but the triumph was often compromised, sometimes bitterly contested, and to this day is only half won.

## Quotes

* The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.
** Games People Play: the Psychology of Human Relations (1964)
* Each person designs his own life, freedom gives him the power to carry out his own designs, and power gives the freedom to interfere with the designs of others.
** What Do You Say After You Say Hello? (1973)
* A healthy person goes "Yes," "No," and "Whoopee!" An unhealthy person goes "Yes, but," "No, but," and "No whoopee."
** Quoted in They Shoot Managers, Don't They? by Terry L. Paulson, pg. 3
* No man is a hero to his wife's psychiatrist.

# Fabio Cannavaro

Fabio Cannavaro, Cavaliere OMRI (born September 13, 1973) is an Italian FIFA World Cup-winning footballer and captain of Italy who currently plays for Napoli (Naples).

## About Cannavaro

* If Rio Ferdinand is worth £120,000 a week, Cannavaro is worth a hundred million a day.
** Eamon Dunphy, on Fabio Cannavaro's performance during Germany 2006
* Fabio being the first player presented has a special symbolic meaning, being that he is true number one with great leadership skills. We are convinced he will be a role model to help build a winning team. Upon arriving in Madrid, Cannavaro's first words demonstrated his pride, happiness, and satisfaction for joining such an admired Club.
** President Ramón Calderón of Real Madrid CF, speaking at the unveiling of Fabio Cannavaro
* Cannavaro is having a fantastic World Cup. He is without question the strongest defender at this tournament and the absolute number one in the world.
** Marcello Lippi
* Fabio Cannavaro was the best player of this World Cup.
** Diego Maradona, speaking of Germany 2006
* I would have married Fabio anyway, no matter what was his job or where. It doesn't matter that he is a world known footballer. I love him because of his essence as a human being.
** Daniela Arenoso, on her love and marriage to Fabio Cannavaro
* Talking about Fabio's height is the same as talking about the fog in Milan.I have never felt that he is short when I play with him,because he can jump higher than anybody else. He is always good at heading. It doesn't make any sense talking about Cannavaro like that.
** Alessandro Nesta, on Fabio Cannavaro's height
* Cannavaro has that unmistakable presence as a leader and in my impression, is exactly like that tough and cool-headed defense he shows on the pitch.
** Iker Casillas, when asked to describe Cannavaro after joining Real Madrid
* I can't choose just one! Real Madrid only has great players. Raul, David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo... The one that impressed me the most after having actually played together is Cannavaro. He's sturdy and lithe and his attitude when he faces a match is exceptional too. I think he's the best center-back in the world.
** Mahamadou Diarra, when asked who he'd want to play together with at Real Madrid

# Fabio Lanzoni

Fabio Lanzoni|Lanzoni (15 March 1959 –) is an Italian-American actor, fashion model, and spokesman.

## Quotes

* Miracles exist – you just have to believe it. A lot of the time when people pray to God they aren’t specific enough. I always tell people God is the god of details. You have to ask for the detail. So, you want a car – what kind of car do you want? Do you want a Cherokee, a Ford, a Chevy, a Bentley? An off-road vehicle? What about the trim and interior and the wheels? Be specific, then when you get something like that it will be no coincidence. I always prayed to God and that’s why I saw my life as a miracle.
** Fabio: confessions of the original male supermodel (July 15, 2015)
* People come to Los Angeles and sell their soul every day. It’s sad. Here, the mentality is that everyone has a price. But I say no – no money can buy my soul. I’ve had so many offers that I didn’t think were proper and I’d say sorry, I don’t need it. I didn’t want to work my butt off and not be happy. I’ll always choose happiness and life over all the money in the world. Across my entire career, I had respect in the industry, because I was the one who never sold out.
** Fabio: confessions of the original male supermodel (July 15, 2015)
* A lot of people, they think, ‘Oh, I’m only going to be happy when I find a special person who is going to make me happy.’ No. In life, you have to be happy with yourself first, number one. When you’re happy with yourself, you have to find another person who is happy with herself so you can share your happiness.

## Dialogue

    Dom: It starts with the eyes. She's gotta have those kind of eyes that can look right through the bullshit, to the good in someone. 20% angel, 80% devil. Down to earth. Ain't afraid to get a little engine grease under her fingernails.
    Gisele: That doesn't sound anything like me.
    Dom: It ain't.
    Mia: Maybe you're lying to yourself. Maybe you're not the good guy pretending to be a bad guy. Maybe you’re the bad guy pretending to be the good guy. You ever think about that?
    Brian: Every day.
    Mia: Ya know, I always wondered. Why'd you let my brother go that day?
    Brian: I don't know.
    Campos: Do you know each other?
    Dom: He used to date my sister.
    Campos: I see. You're a lucky man.
    Brian: How's that?
    Campos: You're still breathing.
    Mia: This your way of keeping me away from him?
    Brian: You're the only one I could call.
    Mia: He's my brother, of course.
    Brian: You asked me why I let Dom go? I think it's because, at that moment, I respected him more than I did myself. One thing I learned from Dom is that, nothing really matters unless you have a code.
    Mia: What's your code, Brian?
    Brian: I'm working on it.
    Agent Michael Stasiak: O'Conner! O'Conner! If you ever release a witness of mine again... [Stasiak grabs Brian but Brian slams Stasiak's face into a wall. Everyone comes over to see]
    Agent Penning: That's enough!
    Agent Michael Stasiak: You're through, O'Conner!
    Agent Penning: I said that's enough! Stasiak, go get yourself cleaned up.
    Agent Michael Stasiak: What? He hit me first! You...
    Agent Penning: This isn't the Cub Scouts! Now go on! You're bleeding on my floor.
    Mia: How do you say goodbye to your only brother?
    Dom: You don't.
    Brian: You gotta get out of here.
    Dom: I ain't runnin' anymore.
    Brian: I gotta ask you something.
    Dom: Yeah.
    Brian: You know I would've, i would've won that race if you didn't cheat right?
    Dom: You hit your head hard.
    Brian: (faintly chuckles) Don’t make me laugh.

# Dred Scott v. Sandford

Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court in which the Court held that the United States Constitution was not meant to include American citizenship for people of African descent, regardless of whether they were enslaved or free, and so the rights and privileges that the Constitution confers upon American citizens could not apply to them.

## Quotes

* Judge Taney ... may decide, and decide again; but he cannot reverse the decision of the Most High. He cannot change the essential nature of things — making evil good, and good evil. Happily, for the whole human family, their rights have been defined, declared, and decided in a court higher than the Supreme Court.
** Frederick Douglass, Speech on the Dred Scott Decision, May 1857
* Slavery lives in this country not because of any paper Constitution, but in the moral blindness of the American people, who persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.
** Frederick Douglass, Speech on the Dred Scott Decision, May 1857

# Dreams in a Time of War

Dreams in a Time of War (2005) by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o Dreams in a Time of War covers many different time periods and kinds of sources—from oral history and personal memories to newspaper accounts and government records—in its analysis of colonial domination, collaboration, and resistance highlights the effects of Indirect Rule, a tactic in which the British used local leaders to enact oppressive policies. If local leaders did not comply then they would be replaced with British appointments who supported colonial rule. Such tactics often caused intense conflicts within African communities, which Ngũgĩ also addresses. For instance, in the earlier part of the book, Ngũgĩ emphasizes the differences between those who follow traditional practices and those who adopt Westernized practices. As the book progresses, these internal divisions grow in magnitude, with life and death consequences, as some Africans collaborate with the colonial state while others oppose it. Ngũgĩ is caught up in these struggles, often unintentionally, such as when he walks into a military dragnet. Yet, it is clear which side Ngũgĩ supports, for as he matures, he develops a growing awareness of the injustices of colonialism and the importance of resisting this oppression.

Hmm! Bullets flew at those who were shooting.’No, he flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.’

* But, somehow, in time, I began to connect a few threads, and things became clearer as if I was emerging from a mist. I learned that our land was not quite our land; that our compound was part of a property owned by an African landlord, Lord Reverend Stanley Kahahu, or Bwana Stanley, as we called him; that we were now the ahoi, tenants at will. How did we come to be ahoi on our own land? Had we lost our traditional land to Europeans? The mist had not cleared entirely.

Although 20 years old at the time Barrymore spent the interview playing by turns the role of a confident sexual woman and a naughty little schoolgirl.
