How dangerous emperors are when they go mad.

Those who liberated the South from Israel must show allegiance to Lebanon.

The Syrian regime is helping the insurgency in Iraq and allowing all kinds of militants to come in and out, and go to Iraq to attack random soldiers and innocent people.

There is a racist attack against Muslims and Arabs, Algerians, Moroccans, and Tunisians in France.

How dangerous emperors are when they go mad.

I condemn what happened in Madrid, but it is suspicious. If tomorrow there will be another bombing, in France for example, who will gain power? Of course not Jacques Chirac, but Le Pen.

The violence and burnings in Lebanon were the work of Syrian soldiers and workers dressed in civilian clothes.

The consequence of Mr. Bush's and Blair's historic lie that the reason for invading Iraq was weapons of mass destruction, is that everything is being doubted.

We are very serious about imposing weapons restrictions on the PFLP and other Palestinian groups operating from their camps in Lebanon.

There was a president imposed by Syria. Our battle... is to have a Lebanese president that we elect.

If I have any advice to give to the Syrian president it is to cooperate for the sake of the investigation or for the sake of uncovering the truth.

Lebanon will be engulfed again in a huge power game that will last quite a long time. This is the tragic destiny of Lebanon.

We move sometimes. We send messages to each other. We talk on the phone. Tell me, what can we do?

We will not rest until we see the suspects behind bars.

No one can live under degradation.

The Syrians are trying to say that the Lebanese are not capable of ruling themselves.

The U.S. always needs an enemy. It comes and goes. Today it is Islam. According to this plan or ideology of the born-again Christians who formed an alliance with Zionism, Islam is the monster.

Syrian influence has not ended yet. It is going to be a very long path.

I know something quite sure. We'll never have peace with this Syrian regime. They'll never give us relief, and we'll never forget that.

We are all happy when U.S. soldiers are killed week in and week out. The killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq is legitimate and obligatory.

Don't forget we are in a state of war and no peace. But it's very dynamic and challenging compared to the rest of the Arab world.

The Islamic State is a threat to both the moderate Islam headed by Mr. Saad al-Hariri and, of course, for Hezbollah. There is a convergence, an anxiety of a common enemy... which is good.

The moral backbone of literature is about that whole question of memory. To my mind it seems clear that those who have no memory have the much greater chance to lead happy lives.

Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

It is a fact that many of the wars and conflicts happening all over the world are aggravated or fought strictly for geopolitical fossil fuel energy interests, and many of the world's most dangerous regimes are funded by fossil fuel dollars.

I prefer the emotion that corrects the rule.

I feel that people should have a license to have children, that they have proper education how to raise children. And that nobody should be allowed to be a parent unless they can prove that they are competent enough to be a parent.

We're first on executions. We're 49th in funding public education. We're in a race with Mississippi for the bottom, and we're winning.

Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.

Speed now illuminates reality whereas light once gave objects of the world their shape.

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.

That's what was so amazing about 'Mulan.' Here is this story with all Chinese characters, and yet so many people related to her character and loved the story. So I really think as long as you have a good story that relates to a lot of people, it doesn't matter what ethnicity it is.

It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend.

Young poets bewail the passing of love; old poets, the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.

I'm glad that my music has helped other people as it's helped me. It makes me glad that I did what I did with my life.

We ourselves must be full of life if we are going to make life fuller for others.

A pension is nothing more than deferred compensation.

I feel it is time that I also pay tribute to my four writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Extremists and populist movements are exploiting people's fear of those who are not like us. We can see the consequences in the form of terrorism and racially motivated violence.

They who drink beer will think beer.

We always have dinner together as a family - even when our schedules are totally hectic. I inherited that from my mom, who would come home from her ad agency job to eat with us before going back to work.

It's an amazing thing to watch a lizard fold a moth into its mouth, like a sword swallower who specialises in umbrellas.

I do everything in a straightforward manner.

I am quite private about my personal life, and I don't talk much about it.

Two words will help you cope when you run low on hope accept and trust.

Saddam Hussein has openly admitted to the rest of the world that he had weapons of mass destruction. He used those weapons to kill his own people.
