"This called for more endurance and patience on their part while peaceful processes were being carried out. But if and when revolution broke out, it was God’s will and would be a fight to the finish irrespective of consequences."

"Let us praise heaven and have faith in the future: We shall see that not even the power of our enemies will weaken our determination to promote the ideals we are fighting for."

"The Spaniards are frivolous, without ideals, with no other conviction than their own personal and momentary convenience. Believe me, chico, I came here with flattering dispositions, but each day I go on acquiring the very sad conviction of the incompatibility of this race with sentiments of honour. It is sad to acknowledge it, but we will learn nothing from this accursed race..."

"You must always remind her (Sofia) to do well at school. She should avoid those who curse; she ought not to become friendly with them nor turn them into enemies, exercising tact in her avoidance...she should appear dignified to all, and confide only to her mother. This ought never to be far from her thinking: no one can love her in the way her parents love her. If it happens that the world deceives her no one will be frank and honest with her except her parents... all her joys, all her sorrows, all her dreadful fears should be confided only to her mother."

"Senor Manrique Lallave and his companions are going there to carry on some business which they will explain to you. Believing their interests to be antagonistic to those of certain monopolizers of the country, I would wish that, on your part and that of your friends, you would bestow every kind of protection on them, being assured that these gentlemen and the elements on whom they depend, with whom we are in complete understanding, are disposed to render us service in return."

"If our efforts prove useless we shall deplore our defeat; but no bitterness will torture our conscience when from it fatal consequences should emerge, as they ought to."

"I'll tell you the truth, I've had bad days and good days in my life, but I've never had a day when I didn't enjoy that red light going on. Whether on the radio, or on television, there's still a little bump every time it goes on. And if you can spend a life, if you can get paid well for doing something you absolutely love, well you can't beat that."

"One of the most succinct commentaries I've come across for encouraging plain talk came from an executive who told his staff, "Don't utilize utilize. Use use." I try to avoid pompous language. Some people use it as an oral status symbol to impress others. Others use it because they've simply forgotten how to talk in simple, clear, everyday terms. You will be far better off, because you'll be better received and better understood, if you avoid "trendy talk.""

"I've never been drunk in my life. I've been high, but I've never been drunk. I think it's a fear of loss of control, but I never liked the taste of liquor."

"What you want in an interview is four things: You want someone who can explain what they do very well, who can have a sense of humor and hopefully is self-deprecating, who has a bit of a chip on their shoulder, and passion. If you have passion, a chip on the shoulder, a sense of humor, and you can explain what you do very well, it doesn't matter if you're a plumber or a singer or a politician. If you have those four things, you are interesting."

"You cannot talk to people successfully if they think you are not interested in what they have to say or you have no respect for them."

"Lenny Bruce taught me that everything's funny. You can make everything funny. I don't think that assassinations are funny, I don't think you can make fun of ISIS, but almost everything is funny. And If we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? So I don't mind ethnic humor. I like ethnic humor. I like dialect jokes. Laughter is a very subjective thing. If it's funny to you it's funny. And a lot of things are funny to me. … Life is funny, sex is funny, marriage is funny, eating is funny, sports can be funny, everything is funny. Homes, horses, real estate. Everything is funny. People who are funny are funny. If you know you're funny you're funny."

"The less I know, the better I feel about a person or book."

"Palla dentro nel mucchio, gol del Benevento... Sapete chi ha segnato? Brignoli... Pazzesco, Brignoli, il portiere, ha segnato di testa... Andate a casa! Vergognatevi! Andate a casa! Anche il portiere di testa segna il gol... il portiere Brignoli, di testa... Andate a casa! Andate a casa! Gol di testa di Brignoli, del portiere, del portiere... Incredibile, incredibile, 2-2... Vergogna, vergogna! Andate a casa! È finita, 2-2... al 94º/95º il portiere del Benevento Brignoli ha segnato il 2-2 di testa... di testa ha segnato! È pazzesco!"

"Attenzione, Calabria, gol! Gol! (Producing a memorable pun on the word "Calabria", which is both the surname of the player and the name of an Italian region) Viva l'Italia, viva la Calabria!

"Una umiliazione mai vista, veramente, siamo ridotti ai minimi termini... Vergogna, vergogna, vergogna, vergogna, vergogna, perché si può perdere, ma non così, calando le braghe completamente... un minimo di orgoglio, un minimo di orgoglio... Noi che vi abbiamo dato tutto, sul piano dei sentimenti, del trasporto... i 55,000, 53,000 di media a S.Siro che stanno vicino alla squadra meritano rispetto!"

"Palla dentro, deviazione- Palo, gol! (Imitating Bonucci's "wash out your mouth" celebration) Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol!"

"Pericolo! Pericolo! Pericolo, ed è gol... ed è gol di Mertens... Sotto misura, smarcatissimo Mertens mette la palla dentro... Ma è una roba incre- Ma dov'erano i difensori? Dov'erano i difensori?"

"Il Pazzo l'ha messa! Il Pazzo l'ha messa! Gol! Gol! Pazzini! Sugli sviluppi di un angolo! Di testa sotto misura! 2-1! Il Pazzo, il Pazzo l'ha messa!

Ed è gol! Gol, gol , gol, gol, gol, gol! Gol, gol, gol, gol! Pazzini! Pazzini! Pazzini! Pazzini! Ed è gol!"

"È finita! Chiedete scusa, chiedete scusa, chiedete scusa ad Allegri, a Balotelli, a tutti! Forza Milan e andiamo!"

"Pippo, Pippo, gol! Pippo, Pippo mio! Pippo, Pippo mio l'ha messa! Pippo! Pippo l'ha messa! Grazie Pippo, grazie, grazie! Grazie, grazie Pippo! Grazie Pippo, grazie Pippo! Grazie, grazie! Col cuore, col cuore ti dico grazie, Pippo! Rimarrai sempre nel nostro cuore, al di là della retorica, al di là del fatto che possono non credere a queste emozioni, perché c'è chi è freddo e amorfo! Ma invece è passione pura, è grande amore che abbiamo per i colori rossoneri e per Pippo! Pippo mio l'ha messa! L'ha messa Pippo mio! L'ha messa Pippo mio!"

"Gol! Ibrahimović! L'ha messa dal dischetto! (With a pun on the Italian lottery) Quaterna sulla ruota di Milano! Quaterna secca sulla ruota di Milano!"

"Parato! Parato! Parato! (Wildly celebrating with the other TV guests) Ce l'abbiam fatta! Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol! Ed è gol! Ed è gol! Ed è gol, ed è gol! Ed è gol, ed è gol, ed è gol! Ed è gol, ed è gol, ed è gol! Ed è gol, ed è gol, ed è gol! (After composing himself) Campioni d'Europa! Campioni d'Europa! Campioni d'Europa! Siamo campioni d'Europa! Forza Italia!

"Ancora gol di Rocchi… Ancora, in barca, siamo andati in barca, siamo andati... siamo andati in barca, siamo andati in barca… Rocchi l'ha messo in quel posto per la seconda volta… Eh!

Ibrahimović, ed è gol!"

"Dov'è la difesa?

"A man who says he will not say anything, and yet makes a pronouncement against the very thing he said he won’t say anything about, is a dangerous person. You can’t believe anything he says. He has been able to get away with that type of speaking and language for too long… and he is always behind the scenes, controlling everything."

"[Barrow]…called me in one day and told me, ‘I don’t want you to write against him anymore’. And he told me I had to go to a meeting with , because he wanted to meet me, so I went to the meeting and I was in disagreement. Dean Barrow’s favorite phrase to me was, ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’. So that’s why I call him the piper. But I do not sing to his tune. In short, I continued writing against Michael Ashcroft. So what they did, they put Denys Barrow as my immediate supervisor. I had to send the dummy of the newspaper to Denys Barrow to approve before we send it to bed, as we call it, to get it printed. Many times I sent a fake dummy and still printed what I wanted, because I refused to bend to their wishes. And that’s why I eventually left the party. So, I know from experience that Wave Radio, Guardian newspaper, would never take up an agenda that doesn’t have the stamp of approval of the Prime Minister. [...] I think they need some public flogging of them. I don’t want to go legally, because we need to follow the trend the Prime Minister has set. He breaks the rule of law, so why should I comply with the rule of law. The people are not understanding what has become of this society. They are not appreciating what the Prime Minister personally has done every time he gets on the media and gives an interview and says that the court has made a wrong decision and he will not comply with it. That is breaking and disrespecting the rule of law. So, if your Prime Minister could disrespect the rule of law, who me, I don’t have to comply with it… We do not want to look at this country for what it is. You know what… what I see is a terrible trend. I could go through every agreement, every law they passed and show you the hypocrisy of the Prime Minister… He uses his legal knowledge to undermine this country. Remember he broke the law with that PetroCaribe spending, and he went and passed a new law retroactively to legalize his illegal action. That is a tyrant."

"We are launching a petition to the government to ensure that issues of pornography are dealt with legislatively, socially and through institution. We are also asking that women not be victimized because of their sexuality. So we are asking the government to comply with something that they have already agreed to do internationally. [...] I want them to focus on two main things. We are signing a petition that deals with two issues. There is a convention on the rights of the child; Article 34 specifically deals with pornography and sexual exploitation of children. The government already signed and ratified those things. They need to deal with the domestic legislation, programs, budgeting, whatever they need to curb that. The second one is that we also signed the convention on all forms of discrimination against women. One of them is to ensure that private institutions can’t victimize you as women"

"To me as a legal professional we don't want everybody out there to know that many times the court doesn’t give you a decision immediately because the rule is . [...] As a legal professional we know that the court holds the authority over us and at the end of the day we still have to go back to the court."

"What others say is a reflection of them, that's how the court reflects itself and that's how they see they need to respond."

"Monopolies are illegal in other countries. Only in any [bleep] goes."

"Why do I go on? Why I am doing this when I am 92 years and two months old? I could, after all, be sitting on a sofa in slippers with my feet up. So why do I do this? You think the man sitting opposite you is Manolis but you are wrong. I am not him. And I am not him because I have not forgotten that every time someone was about to be executed [during WWII], they said: 'Don't forget me. When you say good morning, think of me. When you raise a glass, say my name.' And that is what I am doing talking to you, or doing any of this. The man you see before you is all those people. And all this is about not forgetting them."

"We had absolute consciousness that it was a historic moment... No struggle for what you believe in is ever futile."

"A group of women around a shattered man. I said with a smile: Let's call him Qais, Laila's mad lover. The termperature sank abruptly. Never in my life did I see eyes like those with trailing dresses. The moment I left him they had, of course, to come after me. And there they waited for me, one after the other. I was in a rural city, a strange place on the banks of a river. And even without my smiling, the shattered man had tired me. It was in the old house that our meeting took place, and my jokes turned into blood. I killed them with classic boredom."

"I shall not stop, I shall not stop Beneath the moon clothed in white, Drowning in the morrow With a fast-beating heart. You remain mine, when I am aware, You remain mine, when I am unaware. There, in the dome of mist, In the wells of spacious churches, In festivals And the glimmering of windows, The fields of folk-song, The desperate hum of din, The departure of ships and wine, You remain mine. The shriveled and the fresh stop short, And the earth stretches forth its head And pursues us from word to word, From bird To bird I heard from afar, And when I tried to approach, You held up your hand. I heard from afar And saw the ancient peoples There, beyond the woods."
