Kapka Kassabova (born 1973) is a poet and author.

## Quotes

* From a young age, I was instinctively drawn to stories of escape, adventure and the high seas. It wasn’t just that I was living in a society where I felt trapped, it was also because I was a reader and a dreamer. In retrospect, no matter where I grew up I probably would have dreamt of escape. But the fact that we were living behind the iron curtain fuelled that escapism.
** On her need to escape even at a young age in “THE SRB INTERVIEW: Kapka Kassabova” in Scottish Review of Books (2018 Feb 10)
* The trauma of half a century of social life based on lies is going to take several generations to heal, if it heals at all.
** On her need to write Border in “THE SRB INTERVIEW: Kapka Kassabova” in Scottish Review of Books (2018 Feb 10)
* It seems to me that untold histories that come from a very pure place of suffering and survival contain truth. Everything else is subject to question, really. Anything that comes to us through an official source—especially an official source attached to a national or religious agenda, or any of those other identity politics that seem to bedevil the world at the moment—is questioned. I felt that the voices I was hearing, the places from which these stories came to me, were genuine and, therefore, very precious. The stories in themselves contained both the questions and the answers about identity, or about what borders do to people and how they survive.
** On the authenticity of “untold stories” in “Mouths Full of Earth: An Interview with Kapka Kassabova” in The Paris Review (2017 Sep 12)
* Traumas, or very powerful, primal experiences, especially when they’re experienced by large numbers of people, have a tendency to affect everything they touch. At that border, it wasn’t just one person who died. It was many, untold numbers—mouths full of earth. I think when you have a massive collective experience like that, the trauma remains in the earth. I think the earth has a memory, trees have a memory, rivers have a memory. If we’re a little bit open to it, we pick it up…
** On land holding the ghosts of trauma in “Mouths Full of Earth: An Interview with Kapka Kassabova” in The Paris Review (2017 Sep 12)

## Quotes

* We are disoriented because in the infosphere there are a million suggestions about how to reach that goal [health], a bunch of trends, offers, promises – contradictory, fake, true, absurd… So we find ourselves spending limitlessly and thoughtlessly for the fulfillment of that goal. Thus, the basic capitalistic principle that never leaves you satisfied has been applied to health domain.
** Interview, Magazine Vreme, No. 1637, (19 May 2022) translated from Serbian
* I am fascinated with the phenomenon of secondary consumption or whatever to call it – when you watch somebody consuming something, when somebody is doing something in your name. That is the essence of today’s entertainment, even of the way how we act.
** Interview, Magazine Vreme, No. 1637, (19 May 2022) translated from Serbian
* By discriminating against age, we put ourselves in a position to fear it and make extraordinary efforts to avoid the inevitable.
** Interview, Magazine Vreme, No. 1637, (19 May 2022) translated from Serbian
* We are part of society, it is the environment that forms us. I try to have a critical attitude towards what comes from the environment, but we all know that it is disputed how often and how often we manage to get out of our own, already formed, perspective. When such breakthroughs happen, they are valuable experiences, I would say.
** Interview, Glas Srpske, No. 468074, (12 December 2023) translated from Serbian
* The introspections into my work are fun, that's the beauty of the whole thing. I generally don't look at introspection into my character, because I would often get annoyed - what about one-sidedness, what about inaccuracy, and so on. This is where we clearly need media literacy, so that we can manage not to take information for granted and learn to speak and judge others with reserve and appreciation for the fact that we don't know everything about everything.
** Interview, Glas Srpske, No. 468074, (12 December 2023) translated from Serbian
* I would like the audience to remain interested in something that is not ace. There were some works that analyzed the "Triptych". I'm honored.

## Quotes

* The intensity of animal and human contact is becoming much greater as the world develops. This makes it more likely new diseases will emerge but also modern travel and trade make it much more likely they will spread. [...] We have these outbreaks and the international community flies in but in the case of Ebola the disease went under the radar for four months. It’s really crucial we start to change that and make sure local health care infrastructure is better developed. People on the ground are vital. They are our first line of defence.
** As quoted in Scientists put on alert for deadly new pathogen – 'Disease X' by Paul Nuki and Alanna Shaikh, 10 March 2018, The Daily Telegraph

# Louise of Orléans

Louise of Orléans (3 April 1812 – 11 October 1850) was the first Queen of the Belgians as the second wife of Leopold I of Belgium. She rarely participated in public representation, but acted as the political adviser of her spouse. Her large correspondence is a valuable historical source of the period and has been published.

## Quotes

* What more could I ask on earth than to be your friend, to be your only friend? All my happiness I owe to you all that is lacking from my happiness is my fault, alone, and I blame only myself for all that troubles me. If I am no longer young, if I have none of the gifts or graces that might have made your home a happy one, if I have been unable to bring any pleasure to your life, I must attribute it to my ill fortune. And so, if I cannot but regret, I only regret what I cannot do for you. It has been the thorn in my happiness that I could not help you; but alas, the feeling of all that is lacking in me, of all that has been wanting, and will always be wanting only increases my adoration and gratitude.
** Early Belgian colonial Efforts: The long and fateful shadow of Leopold I, Page 179 Louise Marie to Leopold, 1849, Ibid., 181

## Quotes about Louise of Orléans

* I well knew your present King’s father and pious mother. I was often admitted to the friendly intimacy of the royal family, and I have held the little Leopold, Duke of Brabant, in my arms. I remember that good Christian, Queen Marie Louise, asking me to give my benediction to her eldest son, then eight or nine years old, so that he might become a good king.
** Pope Leo XIII: His Life And Work, Julien De Narfon, 1923 As King Leopold I belonged to the Protestant religion, the influence acquired by Mgr. Pecci over his Majesty was all the more remarkable. As for Queen Marie Louise, who was a fervent Catholic, she admired the Prelate’s virtues still more than his diplomatic skill.

## Quotes about Louise of Orléans

* She had failed to judge her public. Louise had won the gratitude and affection of Belgium by her quiet nobility her gentle charity; and her personal misfortunes had only increased the people's devotion.

# Mirjana Markovic

Mirjana "Mira" Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Мирјана "Мира" Марковић, 10 July 1942 – 14 April 2019) was the leader of the Yugoslav Left political party (JUL/ЈУЛ is the Serbian acronym) and the widow of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević.

## Quotes

* In one of his many public statements, the leader of the Bosnian Serbs, Montenegrin Radovan Karadžić, said the Serbs in the past period, when everyone was on their side, had been subjected to "genocidal extermination" whereas now, over the last year, when so many are against them, they are suffering the least. Of all the innumerable absurdities and untruths that have been uttered, this statement truly takes the cake. For more than forty years Bosnia was inhabited by Bosnians, and we did not distinguish between Serbs, Muslim, and Croats, or at least such distinctions were not paramount in their mutual relations. Throughout that period, to the best of the Yugoslav and world public's knowledge, there were no detention camps for Serbs in Bosnia, no brothels for Serbs women, no Serbian children had their throat cut. (...) But according to Karadzic, the Serbs were somehow unhappy then. And now, in war, with so many dead, (...) now, according to their leader, the time has come when they are suffering the least. (...) Ethnically pure states are an impossibility in today's world, and it is ridiculous to try to create and maintain such a state, even when there is just one nation.

# Queen Máxima of the Netherlands

Máxima (born Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti; 17 May 1971) is the queen of the Netherlands as the spouse of King Willem-Alexander. Argentine by birth, she worked in marketing when she met Willem-Alexander, eldest son and heir apparent of Queen Beatrix, in 1999.

She and Willem-Alexander have three daughters, Princesses Catharina-Amalia, Alexia, and Ariane, who are first, second, and third, respectively, in the line of succession.

## Quotes

* But 'the' Dutch identity? No, I have not found it. The Netherlands is: large windows without curtains so everyone can look in; but also adherence to privacy and coziness. The Netherlands is: one biscuit at tea; but also great hospitality and warmth. The Netherlands is: sobriety, control and pragmatism; but also the experience of intense emotions together. The Netherlands is far too diverse to summarize in one cliché. 'The' Dutchman does not exist. As a consolation I can tell you that 'the' Argentinian also does not exist. I therefore find it very interesting that the title of the report of the Scientific Council for Government Policy is not 'the Dutch identity'. But: Identification with the Netherlands. That leaves room for development and diversity.
