“Las Mujeres de la biblia no es solo un compendio de nombres, es la firma de justicia de las grandes responsables de patriarcas, profetas, libertadores y reyes: las columnas del templo, las arcas de la alianza”

“El feminismo tradicional dirá que estos temas no son los importantes, que debemos centrarnos en lo fundamental: la desigualdad salarial, la ablación femenina en el Tercer Mundo y la violencia de género. Y es obvio que éstos son asuntos urgentes, vergonzosos e injustos, y que el mundo no podrá ir con la frente alta hasta que se solucionen. Pero todos esos otros problemas más pequeños, estúpidos y cotidianos son, en muchos sentidos, igual de nocivos para la tranquilidad espiritual de las mujeres. Es la filosofía de la «Ventana Rota» aplicada a la desigualdad femenina. En la teoría de la «Ventana Rota», basta dejar una ventana rota sin reparar en un edificio vacío para que los más vándalos empiecen a romper las demás. Al final se colarán en el edificio, y encenderán fogatas o se convertirán en okupas. De la misma manera, si vivimos en un ambiente donde se considera desagradable el vello púbico femenino, o se ridiculiza constantemente a las mujeres famosas o poderosas por estar demasiado gordas o demasiado flacas, o por ir mal vestidas, la gente empezará a colarse en el interior de las mujeres y encenderá fogatas allí. Las mujeres tendrán okupas. Francamente, no es una situación nada agradable. No me gustaría despertarme una mañana y encontrar a un montón de oportunistas en mi vestíbulo.”

“ʻIolani Palace also stands in equally strong rebuttal to the notion that the will of Hawaiʻi's Kings and Queens was simply overborne by outsiders. Hawaiʻi's Monarchs from King Kamehameha I on worked diligently and often brilliantly to find the path to draw together traditional Hawaiian culture and values and the forces of Westernization and modernization spreading across the world. This was not an easy path, for there was no model to follow. Each monarch in his or her way remained true to their land and their people. If you look closely and listen carefully, the Palace itself speaks to that path. That it was ultimately force of arms that brought the journey of modern Hawaiian Kingdom to an end makes it a tragedy and not a denial of honor, integrity, and achievements of that journey.”

“The solitary chess game Rick is playing when the camera first focuses on him in Casablanca was a real game Bogart was playing by mail with Irving Kovner of Brooklyn. Bogart would play chess with anyone at any time, and, when he was making Casablanca he was also doing his patriotic duty by playing a number of mail games with sailors in the U.S. Navy. Whatever the quality of his game, Bogart loved chess. "I enjoy chess because there's no luck to it," he told Ezra Goodman.”
