## Quotes

* Now that I have been convicted, I want to explain my actions so that you ... should understand why I chose to join the struggle for the freedom of my people.... It was during my primary school years that the bare facts concerning the realities of South African society and its discrepancies began to unfold before me. I remember a period in the early 1960s, when there was a great deal of political tension, and we often used to encounter armed police in Soweto.... I remember the humiliation to which my parents were subjected by whites in shops and in other places where we encountered them, and the poverty. All these things had their influence on my young mind ... and by the time I went to Orlando West High School, I was already beginning to question the injustice of the society ... and to ask why nothing was being done to change it. It is true that I was trained in the use of weapons and explosives. The basis of my training was in sabotage, which was to be aimed at institutions and not people. I did not wish to add unnecessarily to the grievous loss of human life that had already been incurred. It has been suggested that our aim was to annihilate the white people of this country; nothing could be further from the truth. The ANC is a national liberation movement committed to the liberation of all the people of South Africa, black and white, from racial fear, hatred and oppression. I am married and have one child, and would like nothing more than to have more children, and to live with my wife and children with all the people in this country. One day that might be possible - if not for me, then at least for my brothers.

* President Zuma‚ from being a child‚ never had a chance‚ because of the situation in this country‚ even to go to school. But he was educated the ANC way. ... President Zuma‚ out of the top six positions‚ [was the only person to occupy] most of those positions – deputy secretary general‚ national chairperson‚ deputy president and now president. ... It shows love‚ respect and adoration. [Zuma's leadership within the ANC was] a long‚ beautiful history but spoiled at the last moment. [The transition is peaceful, but painful also,] because this is telling somebody [that] your time is up when [he] should have known by himself that his time is up.

# Tolkien (film)

Tolkien is a 2019 film about the early life of J. R. R. Tolkien.
    Directed by Dome Karukoski. Written by David Gleeson.

## Dialogue

    J. R. R. Tolkien: I made stories, legends, after all, what is language for? It's not just the naming of things, is it? It's the lifeblood of a culture, a people.
    Joseph Wright: Yes, exactly. Could you write five-thousand words on the influence of Norse elements in Gawain?
    J. R. R. Tolkien: Yes, absolutely. When would you like it by?
    Joseph Wright: This evening.

## Taglines

* A Life of Love, Courage, and Fellowship

## About

* Often, the storybooks and newspapers tell us of the C.S. Lewis/Tolkien era, but little attention is given to his earlier life and friendships, but I think those years were so instrumental to his writing. The poverty aspect, in particular, I think will surprise some. I always thought of him as a privileged white man but really, he had to fight his way to the light. That’s one of the main reasons we narrowed his timeline.
* Like his books, I hope Tolkien has that healing power, I hope viewers are inspired to spread love and understanding to one another. I hope they’re inspired to call a friend and share life with them.
** Dome Karukoski, Tolkien director on honoring life, legacy of famed 'Lord of the Rings' author interview (May 10, 2019).

# Turks

Turkish people or Turks (Turkish: Türkler) are the largest Turkic people who speak various dialects of the Turkish language and form a majority in Turkey and Northern Cyprus. Most Turks are Muslims. There is also a large Turkish diaspora in the Middle East and Europe due to the past extent of the Ottoman Empire and current immigration of Turks to these regions.

## Quotes about Turks

* To illustrate how dramatically populations can displace each other over time, the historian E.M. Kulischer once reminded his readers that in A.D. 900 Berlin had no Germans, Moscow had no Russians, Budapest had no Hungarians, Madrid was a Moorish settlement, and Constantinople had hardly any Turks. He added that the Normans had not yet settled in Great Britain and before the sixteenth century there were no Europeans living in North or South America, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa.
** Neil Howe, Richard Jackson (2008) The Graying of the Great Powers: Demography and Geopolitics in the 21st Century. p. 15
* All Turkes do detest the colour of blacke, and thinke those that weare it, shall never enter into Paradise: But the colour of greatest request among them is greene; wherewith if any Christian be apparrelled, he shall be sure of Bastinadoes, and other punishments: Neither may he use the name of their Prophet Mahomet in his mouth, (under the paine of a cruell censure to be inflicted upon him) whom they so much adore, and honour.
** William Lithgow, Totall Discourse, IV, 145
# Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan is a country in Central Eurasia bordered by Kazakhstan to the northwest, Uzbekistan to the north, east and northeast, Afghanistan to the southeast, Iran to the south and southwest and the Caspian Sea to the west. Ashgabat is the capital and largest city. It is one of the six independent Turkic states. With a population of 6.5 million, Turkmenistan is the 35th most-populous country in Asia and has the lowest population of the Central Asian republics while being one of the most sparsely populated nations on the Asian continent.

## Quotes

* Ethnic Uzbeks form less than five percent of Turkmenistan’s population – that country does not publish detailed statistics on demography -- and it is uncertain how many of them want to leave or are being restricted from doing so.
** Paul A. Goble, "Ethnic Uzbeks Leaving Turkmenistan for Uzbekistan Despite Ashgabat’s Efforts to Stop Them", Window on Eurasia (November 17, 2023)
* USCIRF makes an important point, i.e., that states can persecute religious majorities, not only religious minorities. It claims such is the case in Turkmenistan, where the government is engaged in a harsh “repression of Muslims who deviate from the state’s preferred interpretation of Islam.” One problem is that what this interpretation is, is unclear. …Turkmenistan punishes both the Muslims who are not religious enough and those who are too religious, but finding a logic in the behavior of officials and the police, often dictated by the bribes they receive, is difficult. …[A]ll believers whose freedom of religion is violated in Turkmenistan should feel supported by the international community.
** Massimo Introvigne, "Turkmenistan: Religious Liberty and Political Games", Bitter Winter (March 30, 2024)

** C. L. Anderson, Bitter Angels (2009), Chapter 7
* Everything passes away — suffering, pain, blood, hunger, pestilence. The sword will pass away too, but the stars will still remain when the shadows of our presence and our deeds have vanished from the earth. There is no man who does not know that. Why, then, will we not turn our eyes towards the stars? Why?
** Mikhail Bulgakov, The White Guard
* An inadvertent step may crush the snail That crawls at evening in the public path. But he that has humanity, forewarned, Will turn aside and let the reptile live.

** George Eliot, The Spanish Gypsy (1868), Book III
* Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the agèd eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign?
** T. S. Eliot, "Ash Wednesday", part 1

# Valerie Leon

Valerie Therese Leon (born 12 November 1943) is an English actress and model.

## Quotes

* I would be harder, tougher. I would put myself about more. I should have mixed with more people which would have led to more opportunities. As I said, I had this sort of "keep away from me" look, barrier, whatever, and I guess people might have thought I was snooty, which I wasn't, but that was my way of just coping with things. Many stars come to sticky ends, so I think maybe it's just as well. At least I am still here, for which I'm grateful.
** "The Den Of Geek Interview: Valerie Leon", (7 July 2008)
* I was totally star-struck as a youngster and incredibly shy, but I loved the theatre – especially pantomimes. After a failed audition for RADA, I worked as a trainee fashion buyer at Harrods, where they had an entertainments society and I performed in several of its productions. I took singing lessons and my teacher encouraged me to read The Stage, where I saw that chorus singers were needed for the musical The Belle Of New York. I got the job – much to my parents' horror, who wanted me to keep my respectable job, but I was determined to become an actress.
** "Whatever happened to Bond Girl Valerie Leon?", Express (November 2, 2015)
* When I look back, I've had an incredibly lucky life. Being tall with unusual looks helped, although I did build a barrier around myself early on because of shyness. I know I could have enjoyed my life a lot more then if I'd been the person I am today.

## Quotes by Valerio Mariani:

* Template:NDR The character of his art, in which a very varied and lively inventiveness predominates, reflects the otherwise ingenious taste of E. Delacroix, with whom he shares the dynamic and excited research, the chiaroscuro contrasts and the traits of environmental realism, without attempting to compete with him in creative richness and originality.

## Quotes

## Quotes

* Ukraine has managed to preserve their language and culture, and national pride, which made it possible to assemble the force that could stand up to Russia. Belarusians, on the contrary, had been robbed, taking the national history and make sure that by 1917 the country did not exist, and all that it has today — thanks to Russia. People are deprived of their history and national identity, will not go to the square to fight for something that does not feel or understand.
** Некляев в Вашингтоне // naviny.by (in Russian)
* You know, there are some people who were also put this decree in a difficult position, but still decided to pay a "tax". They think to themselves: let it be like to be. Let not mistaken, it came to nothing lead. If we do not protect each other, from the regime of the state of the power, to help each other, then no one will help us. It is the law by which our ancestors lived. If your relative is bad — all the relatives came to the rescue. If your neighbour is bad — all quit their job and help bad one. If your friend is bad — all considered it their duty to help. We need to stand behind each other as a wall. Only then we can survive!

## Quotes about Ulpia Severina

Severina was not beautiful, but in exchange she had a grave air, a big heart, and noble inclinations. The Bridegroom followed Template:NDR in all his military expeditions, even after he was; nor was it of little avail to him to assure him of the love of the troops by liberalities made for the purpose, and by obligatory courtesies rendered even to the least of the soldiers. Most of this information is taken from medals; for we don't even have his name from historians. (Jacques Roergas de Serviez)
