"We are still not there. There are still several issues which remain unresolved, including that of Ireland, and therefore what I understand is that more time is required to find this comprehensive deal and to reach this decisive progress which we need in order to finalise these negotiations on the orderly exit of the United Kingdom."

"Brexit was not our choice, it is the choice of the UK. Our proposal tries to help the UK in managing the negative fallout of Brexit in Northern Ireland in a way that respects the territorial integrity of the UK."

"It is not possible to get freedom for goods without freedom for services, in particular for the movement of people"

"[The Chequers plan] is useful because it clearly defines what the wishes are for the UK for future relations."

"Theresay May's plans] would be the end of the single market and the European project"

"The EU is prepared to offer Britain a partnership such as there never has been with any other third country"

"The single market is our main economic public good. There will be no damaging it, no unravelling what we have achieved together with the UK."

"The UK's decision to opt out of free movement rules and largely end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice means that the UK cannot take part in the European Arrest Warrant"

"To be clear: without a [border] backstop, there can be no withdrawal agreement"

"No deal will be a very bad deal."

"[A deal on the common travel area between the UK and Republic of Ireland must] respect both the integrity of the single market... and the Good Friday Agreement in all its parts"

"We intend to teach people what leaving the single market means"

"I have a state of mind - not aggressive... but I'm not naïve."

"We want EU citizens in Britain to have the same rights as British citizens who live in the EU"

"We must lift the uncertainty caused by Brexit"

"It's not about punishment, it is not about revenge. Basically, we are implementing the decision taken by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, and unravel 43 years of patiently-built relations. I will do all I can to put emotion to one side and stick to the facts, the figures, and the legal basis, and work with the United Kingdom to find an agreement in that frame of mind."

"This negotiation will not only be financial, legal or technical - in my view, it will first [be] human and social and economic,"

"Nothing should put peace at risk"

"The UK's departure from the EU would have consequences"

"Being a member of EU comes with rights and benefits. Third countries (non members as the UK will be after Brexit) can never have the same rights and benefits since they are not subject to the same obligations. The single market and its four freedoms (which includes freedom of movement) are indivisible. Cherry picking is not an option."

"I'm not hearing any whistling, just the clock ticking."

""Ipaubaya natin ang kasaysayan sa mga propesor, sa mga nag-aaral tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Kami hindi namin trabaho yun. Ang trabaho namin ay tingnan kung ano ba ang pangangailangan ng taong bayan ngayon." (Let us leave history to the professors, to those who study the history of the Philippines. It is not our job. Our job is to look at what the people need at present.)"

"The Trustees of the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines, representing the 1,425 CEAP member-schools, colleges, and universities, support the faculty of the Ateneo de Manila University in their call against the attempt of Ferdinand Marcos Jr to canonize the harrowing horrors of martial rule."

""Great danger now lurks behind a deceptive nostalgia for a past that never really existed—that the Marcos years were a period of peace and prosperity. This is patently Marcos myth and deception. Under martial law, the country was plunged into a climate of repression and plunder and then into a social crisis that exploded in the 1980s."

""In response to Ferdinand "Bongbong" Romualdez Marcos, Jr.'s call that teachers and students of history should make a judgment about the Marcos administration, we, the undersigned members of the Ateneo de Manila community, vehemently oppose and condemn the ongoing willful distortion of our history. We deplore the shameless refusal to acknowledge the crimes of the Martial Law regime. We reject the revision of history, disturbing vision of the future, and shallow call for "unity" being presented by Marcos Jr. and like-minded candidates in the 2016 elections."

"Children need a free from crude gender images, and that space should be school."

"Chiang Kai-shek does not like my policies but he cannot do anything to me. I am too far away from his reach."

"I understand that the bombing ended the war, and I think that it couldn't be helped."
