A Banach space $X$ is said to be quotient hereditarily indecomposable if no infinite dimensional quotient of a subspace of $X$ is decomposable. We provide an example of a quotient hereditarily indecomposable space, namely the space ${{X}_{GM}}$ constructed by W. T. Gowers and B. Maurey in $[\text{GM}]$. Then we provide an example of a reflexive hereditarily indecomposable space $\hat{X}$ whose dual is not hereditarily indecomposable; so $\hat{X}$ is not quotient hereditarily indecomposable. We also show that every operator on ${{\hat{X}}^{*}}$ is a strictly singular perturbation of an homothetic map.
