# Basil Rathbone

Philip St. John Basil Rathbone (13 June 1892 – 21 July 1967) was a South African-born English actor.

## Quotes

* That is the most wonderful training an actor can have. If you can speak Shakespeare, you can speak anything. And it gives you complete poise and grace of movement.
** An Amiable Icicle (August 1929)
* I don’t know the why of anything, even when I pretend most diligently I do. The truth is the last time I had any idea why or what I was supposed to do I was lying in a shell hole, looking up at the sky. My mind was filled with a Bach keyboard sonata , which was one of the last I’d learned, I forget which one now. I absolutely knew I was about to die and I was completely happy and at peace, in a way I never was before or since, not even with you, in our best moments. It was so easy, you see, a kind of absolute joy and peace, because I knew it was all done and I was all square with life. Nothing left to do but let things take their course. And when I didn’t die, I didn’t know what to do. So I thought, I’ll take my revolver, go out and blow a hole through my head. Only I knew it wouldn’t work. I knew, I just knew you couldn’t do it that way. You couldn’t make it happen, not if you wanted to find peace. So, I thought, then, a sniper can do it for me. But no matter how I tried to let them no sniper ever found me. And all the other times I went out and lay in shell holes in No Man’s Land it wasn’t the same, and I knew I wouldn’t die this time, and of course I never did. I had this mad feeling I’d become some sort of Wandering Jew. And everything for so long afterwards was about dragging this living corpse of myself around, giving it things to do, because here it was, alive. And nothing made any sense and I didn’t even hope it would. I followed paths that were there to be followed, I did what others said to do.

## Quotes

* Acid rain is a short-hand term that covers a set of highly complex and controversial environmental problems. It is a subject in which emotive and political judgements tend to obscure the underlying scientific issues which are fairly easily stated but poorly understood.

# Artimus Pyle

Thomas Delmer "Artimus" Pyle (born 15 July 1948) is an American musician best known for playing drums with Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1974 to 1977 and from 1987 to 1991.

## Quotes

* I've been blessed with playing the drums and having a young mind and staying healthy. I’m a vegetarian, I take good care of myself. I'll be the last Skynyrd standing. All those guys smoke themselves to death. They all drank themselves to death, drugs. … I still have stainless steel from the knee down in my right leg; I have bone against bone against stainless steel against nerve ending. Every step I take is painful, but when I play drums I push everything away, I get into the zone and I do what I’m supposed to do. … I play Lynyrd Skynyrd music because that's who I am. Everything else has been taken from me, my reputation, my world, my money has all been stolen from me by people that I thought loved me. However they can't take away my ability to play drums.

# Artist's book

Artist's books (or book arts or book objects) are works of art that utilize the form of the book. They are often published in small editions, though they are sometimes produced as one-of-a-kind objects.

## Quotes

* The small scale, rough design, and coarse materials of Russian Futurist books mocked the luxurious journals produced by the Russian Symbolists, which were large, opulent, and sometimes adorned with gold leaf. The Futurist design, as well as the mix of hand-drawn forms and sound poems, embodies the concept of zaum (beyond the mind)—nonsensicality and nonlinearity, sometimes heightened with foreboding, lyricism, or eroticism. The most famous zaum poem, “Dyr bul shchyl”. Reading zaum books is a participatory experience: some pages require you to rotate the book to read the text; others invite multiple readings of the letters depending on whether your eye follows them across or down. The same poem can also reappear in different books, taking on a different character with a new page layout, script, and images and inviting the reader to interpret it anew.
** Nancy Perloff The World Upside Down / The Collaborative, Interactive Book Art of the Russian Futurists. Getty Museum News. May 10, 2017.
* One important area of activity within Russian Futurism was the creation of artists’ books. The production of books as unique works of art gave the movement a special imprint. This type of creativity did not stop in the 1920s, but is still developed by modern artists working in the field of the livre d’artiste. Some of the works created by the Russian Futurists became classics of the genre. This heritage had an impact on a great many contemporary Russian writers and has influenced practically all artists working in this domain.

# Bengt Holmström

Bengt Holmström (born 18 April 1949) is a Finnish economist. He is the recipient of Nobel Prize in Economics in 2016.

## Quotes

* Today, I know better. As I will try to explain, one of the main lessons from working on incentive problems for 25 years is that within firms, high-powered financial incentives can be very dysfunctional and attempts to bring the market inside the firm are generally misguided. Typically, it is best to avoid high-powered incentives and sometimes not use pay-for-performance at all.

# Beniamino Segre

Beniamino Segre (16 February 1903 – 2 October 1977) was an Italian mathematician, known for his contributions to algebraic geometry. At the International Congress of Mathematicians, he was an invited speaker in 1928 in Bologna, in 1950 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in 1958 in Edinburgh, as well as a plenary speaker in 1954 in Amsterdam.

## Quotes

* A nonsingular cubic surface F can be rationally represented upon a plane α if and only if F contains a rational point.
** (1945). "Arithmetic upon an algebraic surface". Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society 51 (2): 152–161. DOI:10.1090/s0002-9904-1945-08300-1. (quote from p. 159)
* The study of the geometry of a Galois space S$_{r,q}$, i. e. of a projective r-dimensional space over a Galois field of order q = p$^h$. where p, h are positive integers and p is a prime (the characteristic of the field), has recently been pursued and developed along new lines ... In it, both algebraic-geometric and arithmetical methods have been applied, including the use of electronic calculating machines; moreover, some of the problems dealt with are deeply connected with information theory, especially with the construction of q-ary error-correcting codes. It is actually a chapter of arithmetical geometry, which reduces to the investigation of certain questions on congruences mod p in the particular case when h = 1.
** (1959). "On complete caps and ovaloids in three-dimensional Galois spaces of characteristic two". Acta Arithmetica 5 (3). (quote from p. 315)
* Non vi sarebbe quindi da stupirsi se le geometrie di Galois venissero and avere in futuro applicazioni anche al campo della fisica, da cui attualmente sembrano molto lontane esce anzi tali spazi finiti portassero alla costruzione di schemi a modelli dove i fenomeni fisici trovassero interpretazioni matematiche più semplici di quelle consuete. (It would not be much of a surprise if Galois geometry in the future came to have applications in the field of the physics, from which these finite geometries are currently far removed. These finite geometries might lead to the construction of models in which physical phenomena have simpler mathematical interpretations than the models now used. — modified from the original translation by Tallini)

## Quotes about Segre

* CUBIC varieties in four-space were first investigated by Segre, in two memoirs ... which are still classic, and in which he gave a generation of those having more than six nodes, especially the one with ten nodes, while he also considered varieties containing a plane, and gave some of their properties.

# Beniamino Stella

## Quotes

* The fact that some priests have experienced relationships and have brought children into the world does not affect the theme of priestly celibacy, which represents a precious gift for the Latin Church, the ever-present value of which has been expressed by the recent Popes, from St Paul VI to Pope Francis. Similarly, cases of abandonment of the matrimonial union and from the children do not take away from the ever-present value of Christian marriage.

# Benigno Aquino III

Benigno Aquino III also known as Noynoy Aquino (February 8, 1960 – June 24, 2021) was the 15th president of the Philippines.

## Quotes

* If no one is corrupt, no one will be poor.
** Aquino's 2010 election campaign slogan. Inaugural Address of President Benigno S. Aquino III (English translation) (30 June 2010)
* We also know that excellent public servants do not just transform a society; they inspire. Millions of Filipinos grieved when Jesse Robredo passed. For almost two decades, he served and led Naga with skill, compassion, and humility. These principles of his are the exact reasons we borrowed him from Congresswoman Leni and their three children, and from the Nagueños, so that he could become part of our Cabinet. This is why one of the hardest things I ever had to do as President was to deliver the news to Leni and their daughters, after the tragedy.
** 2013 State of The Nation Address, Philippines
* Apart from grieving, I could not avoid blaming myself for what happened to Jesse. Maybe if I had not asked him to join my Cabinet, he would still be alive today. Maybe if he had remained in Naga, he would still be with us. Maybe there would still be a Jesse Robredo in public service today.
** 2013 State of The Nation Address, Philippines
* But I also know that Jesse would not allow the transformation and righting of society to end with him. Jesse and I were only given opportunities to serve the country because of all of you. We cannot have just one face for transformation and change. We should not have to wait another hundred years before the next good citizen is born, before the next good Filipino rises to the occasion.

## Quotes

* As pertaining to the Church's public charity, we must underline the following: in the relations of the Catholic Church with the States and with the European Union we believe that one must certainly overcome confessionalism as well as hostile laicism. The prospect of healthy laity must become ours, which involves recognizing that society needs the contribution of religious professions to ensure its ethical-cultural foundations.

# Denazification

Denazification (German: Entnazifizierung) was an Allied initiative to rid German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the Nazi ideology following the Second World War. It was carried out by removing those who had been Nazi Party or SS members from positions of power and influence, by disbanding or rendering impotent the organizations associated with Nazism, and by trying prominent Nazis for war crimes in the Nuremberg trials of 1946. The program of denazification was launched after the end of the war and was solidified by the Potsdam Agreement in August 1945. The term denazification was first coined as a legal term in 1943 by the U.S. Pentagon, intended to be applied in a narrow sense with reference to the post-war German legal system.
On 24 February 2022, Vladimir Putin spoke in "On conducting a special military operation" of "denazification" as the objective of the Russian special operations in Ukraine, going on to describe modern-day Ukraine as a "neo-Nazi" state with genocide of Russian speakers in the country. Putin has repeatedly described Ukraine as being governed by neo-Nazis and "Banderites".

## Quotes

* The goal of our actions is to save people by fulfilling our allied obligations, as well as to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine so that such things never happen again.
** Sergey Lavrov, "Russian actions aim to save people, demilitarize, denazify Ukraine – Lavrov". TASS. March 1, 2022.
* Russia has two objectives. One is the demilitarization of Ukraine, the other is the deNazification of Ukraine. Demilitarization means the elimination of all NATO influence on the Ukrainian military, and deNazification means just that, getting rid of everything that Russia considers to be related to the ultra nationalistic ideology of Stepan Bandera and the white supremacist manifestations of that.
** Scott Ritter Scott Ritter: Don't Believe the Hype. Ukraine Can't Win This War; The Real News Network; November 15, 2022
* Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday warned that Ukraine must meet Moscow’s demand for “demilitarization” and “denazification,” as well as the removal of the military threat to Russia, otherwise “the Russian army (will) solve the issue."... The reference to “denazification” comes from Russia’s allegations that the Ukrainian government is heavily influenced by radical nationalist and neo-Nazi groups.

## Quotes

* If our Indian nation is being destroyed so that poor people of the world might get a chance to share this world’s riches, then as Indian people, I am sure that we would seriously consider giving up our resources. But do you really expect us to give up our life and our lands so that those few people who are the richest and most powerful in the world today can maintain their own position of privilege?That is not our way.

* We have lived with the land, not tried to conquer of control it or rob it of its riches. We have not tried to get more and more riches and power, we have not tried to conquer new frontiers, or out do our parents or make sure that every year we are richer than the year before.We have been satisfied to see our wealth as ourselves and the land we live with. It is our greatest wish to be able to pass on this land to succeeding generations in the same condition that our fathers have given it to us. We did not try to improve the land and we did not try to destroy it.That is not our way.

# Cantonese people

The Cantonese people are a subgroup of the Han Chinese people native to and/or originating from the provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi (collectively known as Liangguang), in southern mainland China. Although more accurately, "Cantonese" refers only to the people from Guangzhou and its satellite cities and towns and/or native speakers of Standard Cantonese, rather than simply and generally referring to the people of the Liangguang region. The Cantonese people share a common native culture, history, ancestry and language. They are also referred to as "Hoa" in Vietnam, "Kongfu" in Malaysia and "Konghu" in Indonesia.

## Quotes

* If it has four legs and is not a chair, has wings and is not an aeroplane, or swims and is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.
