Quotes about familiarity.

## Quotes

* "When a man becomes familiar with his goddess, she quickly sinks into a woman."
** Joseph Addison, The Spectator (May 24, 1711).
* I find my familiarity with thee has bred contempt.
** Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, Part I, Book III, Chapter VI.
* A metaphor is a word used in an unfamiliar context to give us a new insight; a good metaphor moves us to see our ordinary world in an extraordinary way.
** Sallie McFague Speaking in Parables (1975), p. 4.
* Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why. Subject and object, God, Nature , Understanding, sensibility, and so on, are uncritically taken for granted as familiar, established as valid and made into fixed points for starting and stopping. While these remain unmoved, the knowing activity goes back and forth between them, thus moving only on their surface.
** Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit (1807), Preface, A. V. Miller translation (Oxford: 1977), § 31
* "Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness."
** Ouida (pseudonym of Marie Louise De La Ramee), Princess Napraxine (1906) p. 19.
* "Familiar acts are beautiful through love."
** Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Prometheus Unbound" in The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1839) p. 123.
* "Familiarity is the thing -- the sense of belonging. It grants exemption from all evil, all shabbiness"
** E.B. White, "Homecoming".

# Greta Gerwig

Greta Celeste Gerwig (born August 4, 1983) is an American actress, writer, and director. Her Oscar nominations include one for Best Director for Lady Bird, one of only five women in Oscar history at the time to have been nominated in that category. In 2023, Barbie (the highest grossing film ever from a female director) earned Gerwig and co-writer Noah Baumbach a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 96th Academy Awards.

## Quotes

* When you’re writing a screenplay, it’s like you’re dreaming the film for yourself again and again and again until it becomes almost like a memory before you make it...Nobody in the world cares if it doesn’t exist. You have to either believe in this fiction hard enough for it to become real, or you don’t, and it won’t.
** "Greta Gerwig gets real" Dazed (August 27, 2015)
* When you’re 16, there are qualities you wish you didn’t have, and then when you’re 30 you’re like, ‘Thank god I have that otherwise I’d be living less vividly’. You only get one life so you might as well feel all the feelings.
** "Greta Gerwig gets real" Dazed (August 27, 2015)
* “The process of making it was just joy,” said Gerwig. “I don’t know if it was the pink or the music but it was just infectious.” Yet the most gratifying aspect, she said, was seeing strangers watch the film and realising that “the song that’s in my heart is in other people’s hearts”.
** "'Just joy’: Greta Gerwig discusses reaction to Barbie at London film festival" The Guardian (October 8, 2023)

### "‘It had to be totally bananas’: Greta Gerwig on bringing Barbie to life" (2023)

    "‘It had to be totally bananas’: Greta Gerwig on bringing Barbie to life" The Guardian (July 9, 2023)
* The kind of amazing thing is that Barbie went to the moon before women had the ability to get credit cards.
* I always think that 8, 9, 10 years old is peak kid. I was brash and unafraid and loud and big.
* [Puberty is] a shrinking. Wanting to make yourself smaller, less noticeable, take in all that spikiness and bury it. And you’re profoundly uncomfortable, because you’re going through metamorphosis, literally.
* As a director, you have the job of dreaming up the movie, and then you have to get everyone else in the movie – hundreds of people – to have that same dream, too.

# Franjo Komarica

Franjo Komarica (3 February 1946 –) is a Bosnian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, the Bishop of Banja Luka and president of the Bishops' Conference of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

## Quotes

* Politicians need to finally acknowledge what is happening and condemn the severe discrimination that is taking place right in the middle of Europe. This is particularly true for the Christians. I expect anyone who is serious about their faith to support the disenfranchised people of my homeland – in word and deed. Our appeals have not been heard up until this point. And there have been so many of them! Quo vadis, Europe? Quo vadis, Christianity in Europe? If we just look the other way and tolerate this kind of development on our own doorstep, how do we want to help other people understand our Christian values?
** Bosnia and Herzegovina: “Open war against the Catholic church” (25 April 2018)
* The Catholic Croats act as a sort of "adhesive" for the Serbs and the Bosniaks. Should this adhesive disappear, then these two worlds – the Islamic and the Orthodox – will drift ever farther apart. This will give rise to even greater unrest.

## Quotes

* La scienza conduce a grandi conquiste, che, giustamente, colmano di gioia chi cerca la verità, ma, se approfondita, ci insegna che in altre fonti occorre cercare la verità ultima e trovare le risposte alle domande esistenziali sul senso della vita e sul mistero della morte.
** Science leads to great achievements, which, quite rightly, fill of joy those who seek the truth, but if pursued, teaches us that we must seek other sources of ultimate truth and find answers to existential questions about the meaning of life and the mystery of death.

## Song lyrics
### Infamous Angel (1992)

* Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from. Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go When the whole thing's done. But no one knows for certain And so it's all the same to me. I think I'll just let the mystery be.
** Let the Mystery Be
** This song was used as the theme song for the second season of The Leftovers
* Some say once gone you're gone forever And some say you're going to come back. Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour If in sinful ways you lack. Some say that they're coming back in a garden, Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas. I think I'll just let the mystery be.
** Let the Mystery Be
* Far away I've travelled To stand once more alone. And hear my memories echo Through these hills that I call home. As a child I roamed this valley, I watched the seasons come and go. I spent many hours dreaming On these hills that I call home.
** These Hills
* And you know the sun's settin' fast And just like they say nothing good ever lasts. Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye but hold on to your lover. 'Cause your heart's bound to die. Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town. Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town? Goodnight.
** Our Town

### My Life (1994)

* Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by, It's so hard to make every note bend just right. You lay down the hours and leave not one trace But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place.
** Sweet is the Melody
* Fireflies inside of a mason jar, Acting big behind the wheel of daddy's car. Playing church around the old piano stand, You were quite a preacher and oh, we sang so grand. I remember every night what we would say and do: "If you've forgiven me, then I've forgiven you." And now when life begins to get the best of me, I reminisce these childhood memories.
** Childhood Memories
* I've got no time to look back, I've got no time to see The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me. And if the feeling starts to coming, I've learned to stop 'em fast Because I don't know, if I let 'em go, they might not wanna pass. And there's just so many people trying to get me on the phone And there's bills to pay, and songs to play And a house to make a home. I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry.
** No Time to Cry
* My life, it don't count for nothing; When I look at this world, I feel so small. My life, it's only a season: A passing September that no one will recall.
** My Life

# Irish Air Corps

The Air Corps (Irish: An tAerchór) is the air component of the Defence Forces of Ireland. Through a fleet of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, it provides military support to the Army and Irish Naval Service, together with non-military air services such as Garda air support, air ambulance, fisheries protection and the Ministerial Air Transport Service. Its headquarters and airfield is Casement Aerodrome located at Baldonnel, County Dublin. Unlike the Irish Army and Irish Naval Service, the Irish Air Corps does not maintain a reserve component and thus consists entirely of active service personnel.

## Quotes

* While the buildup of men and machines continued, BF.I was taking an active part in the conflict. Observer/gunners were readily available, these were men who had never flown before but were well experienced in guerrilla warfare, some being veterans of the 1916 Rising. Russell was partnered by a former member of Collins' elite Active Service Unit, when he took off on the first sortie to support ground troops in Wicklow. The aircraft was armed solely with a standard infantry Lewis gun with which the observer engaged the Irregulars, firing it from his hip while dangerously balanced in his cockpit. The lack of armament on this and a second aircraft obtained from the RAF, perhaps underlined the original peaceful plans for the Air Service: its founders had refused guns, ammunition and bombs, which somewhat puzzled the donors. However, after the first sortie, warlike stores were accepted, once it became apparent that a real war was brewing up.

# Georgie Henley

Georgina Helen Henley (9 July 1995–) is an English actress.

## Quotes

* I've had quite a normal childhood. I hear of people who act and they've never been to a real school. I think, well, good for you, you're so successful that you don't have to go to school but you're not really preparing yourself for the real world, and acting isn't the real world.
** Interview: Georgie Henley, actress (November 8, 2010)
* I get angry about so many things I read in the news. But I think it’s good to be angry. If we stop being angry about what’s going on around us then we normalise those injustices.

## Quotes

* I've not been discriminated against, but I can see it happen. And not just race but gender and sexuality, too. It's stereotyping, lazy casting, which is an issue: that people can't see outside the box.
* People who are in abusive relationships often don't realise it, but it slowly seems to build until you're trapped.
* You just never see people of different ethnicities in period dramas.
* Sometimes, with portrayals of domestic violence, the women involved are just victims with no personality, just completely trodden-down. But people continue to live their normal lives: they go out; they continue to have arguments with their partners, even if there is always the fear of where that might end up.
* I'm not really into destiny, but it's funny - I bumped into a woman who told me about an audition, and now I have a BAFTA.

# Georgian-Abkhazian conflict

The Georgian-Abkhazian conflict involves ethnic conflict between Georgians and the Abkhaz people in Abkhazia, a de facto independent, partially recognized republic. In a broader sense, one can view the Georgian–Abkhaz conflict as part of a geopolitical conflict in the Caucasus region, intensified at the end of the 20th century with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The conflict, one of the bloodiest in the post-Soviet era, remains unresolved. The Georgian government has offered substantial autonomy to Abkhazia several times. However, both the Abkhaz government and the opposition in Abkhazia refuse any form of union with Georgia. Abkhaz regard their independence as the result of a war of liberation from Georgia, while Georgians believe that historically Abkhazia has always formed part of Georgia.

## Quotes

* Грузинам здесь уже не жить, в Абхазии они могут только умирать.
** Translation: Georgians can't live here anymore, in Abkhazia they can only die.

## Quotes

Helen Potter's Impersonations (1891) (archive) (at Wikimedia Commons)
* In all ages we have had artists and orators; people who held the "sacred fire" as their inheritance among men an inheritance more powerful than gold, or wonderful jewels, or landed estates.
* And the works of artists in clay, marble, and iron, and on canvas are enduring, and eagerly sought for. But the most wonderful of all, the power of the human voice, goes to the winds and is lost forever.
* Do not, while young, try to impersonate old or disagreeable characters. There will be time enough for that when your youth is past ; and, beside, the world delights to look on youth, and prefers to carry away from an entertainment only thoughts of gladness, joy, and sunshine. Therefore, however much you may desire to do heavy tragedy, or raving maniacs, "Don't!"
* The dress should be the setting and not the gem.

* One advice I always give to young people is that no experience is a waste. Try your hand at whatever your heart leads you to do.

* The quality of a mother determines the quality of society. We need to take motherhood and mothers really more seriously. It is not something that should just be left to chance.
* My best advice is whatever you put your hand to do, do it to the best of your ability. Everything you do eventually becomes part of your skill set and ends up being part of who you eventually become.

# Helen Pluckrose

Helen Pluckrose is a British author and cultural writer known for critiques of critical social justice and promotion of liberal ethics, most notably in the grievance studies affair.

## Quote

* Helen Pluckrose: I thought I knew the rules but there were more layers and layers of rules than I thought, and I've actually been studying it for seven years. Heather Heying: Do you think that there is a kernel, inside all of this, that has some integrity? Helen Pluckrose: I don't think so because that base isn't liberal feminism, it's not gay pride, it's not the civil rights movement or anything like that. The base is postmodernism which had then had layers of critical theory and then, joined on the end, of the civil rights movement and appropriated it. So right at the base there is the hole. There is no objective knowledge. Everything is systems of power. So it didn't have a chance from the start. Heather Heying: The foundation is rotten. Helen Pluckrose: Yeah.
