There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.

I am an opponent of Saddam Hussein, but an opponent also, of the sanctions that have killed a million Iraqi children and an opponent of the United States' apparent desire to plunge the Middle East into a new and devastating war.

I've never had a penny through oil deals and no one has produced a shred of evidence that I have.

I came to declare that I am a friend to Arabs, at a time when it is not easy to be friend to Arabs, because nowadays those who have ambitions and interests would not befriend Arab.

I have never solicited nor received money from Iraq for our campaign against war and sanctions. I have never seen a barrel of oil, never owned one, never bought one, never sold one.

Tony Blair will be remembered for nothing other than that he followed George W. Bush over a cliff; took the rest of us with them, and we haven't yet reached the bottom, I'm afraid.

Anyone will say anything under torture.

The big tyrants never face justice.

Even if you only counted the votes that actually made it through the hoops in order to be cast, the president was really Al Gore.

I think that both men, Bush and Blair, will be damned in history. Both men have made their respective countries the two most hated countries in the world.

It is only losers that are prosecuted.

George Bush doesn't represent any civilization!

Henry Kissinger is the greatest living war criminal in the world today, with the blood of millions of people in Vietnam and Cambodia and Laos and Chile and East Timor on his hands. He will never appear in a court or be behind bars.

MRSA, which is a kind of super bug mutant, is killing 10,000 people a year in Britain.

Some things are too important to be left to the private sector.

I've had more than 12,000 emails from the United States. It's not easy in the United States to find out the email address of a British parliamentarian.

I'm demanding to be prosecuted. I'm begging to be prosecuted for perjury.

We say here that if you fall down in the United States, the ambulance man must feel for your wallet before he feels for your pulse.

I'm an advocate of the great Dr. Johnson, the English man of letters who said that patriotism was the last refuge of the scoundrel.

It's clear enough that there was substantial fraud in Ohio, thus delivering the Electoral College vote for President Bush.

Bush, and Blair, and the prime minister of Japan, and Berlusconi, these people are criminals, and they are responsible for mass murder in the world, for the war, and for the occupation, through their support for Israel, and through their support for a globalized capitalist economic system, which is the biggest killer the world has ever known.

I care about public perception, yes. I don't care about my enemies' perception.

I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns.

I'm 51; I'm younger than Tony Blair. I don't have a dicky heart; I'm up like a broom handle in the morning. I don't drink or gamble - I'm still a catch.

In the Palestinian camps in the Seventies, I fell in love with a woman fighter - now married with six kids, not mine! - and I seriously considered staying there with her.

The only moral question with suicide bombing is who the target is. And in that sense, the suicide bomber is no different from the stealth bomber or the cruise missile. If it is targeted at civilian people, then it is morally wrong, whether done by Bush, Blair, or a suicide bomber.

Portugal is a high hill with a white watch tower on it flying signal flags. It is apparently inhabited by one man who lives in a long row of yellow houses with red roofs, and populated by sheep who do grand acts of balancing on the side of the hill.

Behold a republic standing erect while empires all around are bowed beneath the weight of their own armaments - a republic whose flag is loved while other flags are only feared.

I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks. We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats.

Israel's capital will never again be a divided city, a city with a wall at its center, a city in which two flags fly. This city, will, in its entirety, absorb immigrants, welcome pilgrims and be the eternal capital of Israel forever.

Among various demands and charges I gave them, was, that the said flag should be delivered to me, and one of the United States' flags be received and hoisted in its place.

Invention flags, his brain goes muddy, and black despair succeeds brown study.

My major aim in writing is to set out flags and issue wake-up calls.

There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.

We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.

I fear my enthusiasm flags when real work is demanded of me.

Ford used to come to work in a big car with two Admiral's flags, on each side of the car. His assistant would be there with his accordion, playing, Hail to the Chief.

There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum.

I consider that 9/11 was the day when war was started against my own work and against myself. Even though we are not sure of the links, Iraq was one of the countries that did not lower its flags in mourning on 9/11.

I don't want the news to be patriotic. I don't want to see flags on the lapels of the anchors. I don't want any of that.

Science doesn't have flags. Science doesn't have borders.

Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.

Politics is too partisan, and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.

These martyrs of patriotism gave their lives for an idea.

Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
