# André-Marie Ampère

André-Marie Ampère FRS (20 January 1775 – 10 June 1836) was a French physicist and mathematician who is generally regarded as one of the main discoverers of electromagnetism. The SI unit of measurement of electric current, the ampere, is named after him.

## Quotes

* Écoute les savants, mais ne les écoute que d'une oreille!... Que l'autre soit toujours prête à recevoir les doux accents de la voix de ton ami céleste!
** Listen to learned men, but do so only with one ear !... Let the other be always ready to receive the sweet accents of the voice of your heavenly Friend!
*** Ampère's Meditation, September 1805
* Either one or the other [ analysis or synthesis ] may be direct or indirect. The direct procedure is when the point of departure is known-direct synthesis in the elements of geometry. By combining at random simple truths with each other, more complicated ones are deduced from them. This is the method of discovery, the special method of inventions, contrary to popular opinion.
** André-Marie Ampè, in André-Marie Ampère: Enlightenment and Electrodynamics, Cambridge University Press, 1996, p. 159
* There is synthesis when, in combining therein judgments that are made known to us from simpler relations, one deduces judgments from them relative to more complicated relations. There is analysis when from a complicated truth one deduces more simple truths.
** André-Marie Ampère in: André-Marie Ampère: Enlightenment and Electrodynamics, Cambridge University Press, 1996, p. 158.

## Quotes about Ampère

* The experimental investigation by which Ampère established the law of the mechanical action between electric currents is one of the most brilliant achievements in science. The whole, theory and experiment, seems as if it had leaped, full grown and full armed, from the brain of the 'Newton of electricity.' It is perfect in form, and unassailable in accuracy, and it is summed up in a formula from which all the phenomena may be deduced, and which must always remain the cardinal formula of electro-dynamics.
** James Clerk Maxwell, A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873) quoted from 3rd edition (1892) Vol. 2, Ch. 3, p. 175.

## Quotes
### Call Me By Your Name (2007)

André Aciman, Call Me By Your Name, Atlantic Books, 2009. ISBN 9781786495259
* "Later!" The word, the voice, the attitude. I'd never heard anyone use "later" to say goodbye before. It sounded harsh, curt, and dismisive, spoken with the veiled indifference of people who may not care to see or hear from you again. It is the first thing I remember about him, and I can hear it still today. Later!
** Part 1
* It never occurred to me that I had brought him not just to show him my little world, but to ask my little world to let him in, so that the place where I came to be alone on summer afternoons would get to know him, judge him, see if he fitted in, take him in, so that I might come back here and remember.
** Part 2, p. 77
* He was waiting for me to say something. He was staring at me. This, I think, is the first time I dared myself to stare back at him. Usually, I'd cast a glance and then look away—look away because I didn't want to swim in the lovely, clear pool of his eyes unless I'd been invited to—and I never waited long enough to know whether I was even wanted there; look away because I was too scared to stare anyone back; look away because I didn't want to give anything away; look away because I couldn't acknowledge how much he mattered. Look away because that steely gaze of his always reminded me of how tall he stood and how far below him ranked.
** Part 2, p. 78
* Perhaps the physical and the metaphorical meanings are clumsy ways of understanding what happens when two beings need, not just to be close together, but to become so totally ductile that each becomes the other. To be who I am because of you. To be who he was because of me. To be in his mouth while he was in mine and no longer know whose it was, his cock or mine, that was in my mouth. He was my secret conduit to myself—like a catalyst that allows us to become who we are [...].
** Part 2, p. 143
* I stopped for a second. If you remember everything, I wanted to say, and if you are really like me, then before you leave tomorrow, or when you're just ready to shut the door of the taxi and have already said goodbye to everyone else and there's not a thing left to say in this life, then, just this once, turn to me, even in jest, or as an afterthought, which would have meant everything to me when we were together, and, as you did back then, look me in the face, hold my gaze, and call me by your name.
** Part 4
# André Bessette

## Quotes

* If you come up with a big new idea in our world and everyone says "Hey, that's great, definitely go ahead with that," then you know it's not a big new idea at all. Anything really new brings out all the reasons why it can't possibly work, and why it's crazy to even think about it.

### An Interview with Beno Eckmann (2010)

* Together with many other people and after a long development I could prove that a Poincaré duality group of cohomological dimension 2 is the group of a Riemann surface. That was actually a conjecture of Jean-Pierre Serre. "You have to prove it!" he had always insisted.
** "An interview with Beno Eckmann by by Martin Raussen and Alain Valette".

ISBN 978-3-03719-089-0. (quote from p. 394)
* Still another important area is Poincaré duality for groups, invented by Robert Bieri and myself. They behave like manifolds: homology, cohomology, you see, in complementary dimensions, but with another dualizing module. Many groups that are interesting in algebraic geometry, group theory or other areas are such duality groups.

## Quotes

* We’re sick and tired of these stories. The reason they keep using the word ‘cannibal’ about us is because they think we’re savages. It’s like calling Germans today Nazis because of their past, or Britain a land where witches are burned at the stake, of child slavery and public executions. It’s just lazy, racist journalism.

Bernard "Benny" Green (9 December 1927 – 22 June 1998) was a British jazz saxophonist who was also known for his radio shows, journalism and books. He wrote for The Observer and Punch among other publications.

## Quotes

* Sims's four-week engagement at Ronnie Scott's Club represents something of an innovation in the comic-opera trade union practices of die jazz world. Before Sims was allowed to make club appearances here, the American and British Musicians' Unions wrangled for months, and the eventual achievement of a working arrangement is a considerable triumph for Scott. Sims, a taciturn tenor saxophonist in his middle thirties, is now at the very peak of his powers, and the one distinguishing feature about his playing in Scott's is the comparative humility of his tone. He plays roughly half as loud as his British counterparts without sacrificing anything in penetrative power, and those who take pains to catch every nuance of his style will discover a fundamentally simple approach, unadorned by any kind of frippery, and executed with superb articulation and assurance. He is no original either in the sound he produces or the harmonies he employs. The moment he starts to play, the name which springs to mind is Lester Young, for Sims produces a close variant of that catacoustlc tone with which Lester honked his way through the 1930s. What is more surprising is the fact that Sims, always considered modern, sticks to harmonies which would not be too outrageous in a dixieland ensemble. Like his ex-working partner Stan Getz, he apparently prefers those themes whose seventh chords resolve with a cheerful inevitability rather than those who fly off at chromatic tangents.

* I do not recognise India of the present time where, under the banner of 'Hindutva,' intimidation and bigotry seek to silence writers, scholars and all who believe in secular and rational thought.
** Quoted from "Now novelist Anita Desai threatens to return Sahitya Akademi Award", India Today, October 21, 2015.
* (Would you get very angry if someone said you were the Virginia Woolf of India and you "mothered" the psychological novel in India?) Desai: No, I would be denying something which is fairly obvious. One is the influence of Virginia Woolf upon my own work, and the other is that there weren't very many women writers in India at that time writing psychological novels.

## Quotes
### Black Lesbian in White America (1983)

* The thing I find most disturbing regarding womyn in general is the seeming impossibility of their thinking clearly when it comes time to deal with men. Womyn with advanced university degrees often seem utterly unable to dot an i when they are confronted with the realities of man’s barbaric treatment of womin. To put it bluntly, I find it absolutely terrifying to see just how effective men have been in eradicating womyn’s sense of self, a condition that seems to prevail in at least 90 percent of all womyn all over this male-infected globe. p. 19
* And since it is patently impossible to free people who not only don’t want to be free but who will emphatically insist they are not oppressed, I am through trying. I have had my last argument with your straight Sisters as to whether men or ‘the system’ are the oppressor. If you choose to think ‘the system’ runs by remote control from the planet Pluto, then more power to you. p. 117
