“The part in Aleppo, what [people] call it the eastern part, is occupied by the terrorists for the last three years, and they have been using the civilians as human shields.”

It is natural that we should always expect an Israeli attack, even when it does not threaten.

At the end, I said [chemical weapons] is something not to be discussed with anyone.

Why should you use a term [rebels] in the United States and England and maybe other countries and use another term in Syria ? This is a double standard that we don’t accept.

If you want to talk about mistakes, every country has mistakes, every government has mistakes, every person has mistakes. When you have a war, you have more mistakes. That’s the natural thing.

We are fully free, not partially, fully free, in everything related to the future of Syria.

We’re talking about the responsibility, my responsibility according to the Syrian constitution that said we have to defend ourselves.

We feel pain for every Syrian victim.

Hizbullah is not a militia.

We’re not sure that if there’s chemical weapon used and who used it. We can’t talk about virtual things, we have to talk about facts.

The army is made of the people ; it cannot be made of robots.

We are against any WMD, any weapons of mass destruction, whether chemical or nuclear.

History teaches us that nobody can prevent a resistance group from arming when it has the support of the people.

Israeli interests are not necessarily in harmony with the American interests.

The Israeli lobby has clout in the U.S., which means that re-arranging the region and controlling its resources one way or another, will serve Israel through its control over the American administration.

The fact that there are people who criticize me doesn’t mean that people hate me.

We don’t discuss this issue [ chemical weapons ] in public because we never said that we have it, and we never said that we don’t have it. It’s a Syrian issue ; it’s a military issue we never discuss in public with anyone.

This fixes as it were the latitude and longitude of each discovery, and enables us to place it in that part of the map of human knowledge which it ought to occupy. It likewise enables us to use it in taking bearings and distances, and in shaping our course when we go in search of new discoveries.

Israel has WMD, and it has to sign [chemical warfare agreement], and Israel is occupying our land, so that’s we talked about the Middle East, not Syria, not Israel ; it should be comprehensive.

Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.

I think it ought to occupy a prominent place in our investigations, and that we ought to endeavour to construct a mental representation of all the details of its action, and this has been my constant aim in this treatise.

I’m not living with you. We occupy the same cage. (Maggie)

Work is the rent you pay for the room you occupy on earth.

There is a line drawn by God, a boundary where by virtue of his own very presence Satan’s writ does not run. Let God but occupy all the space himself, and what room is left for the evil one?

Thank you, Occupy Wall Street. With your vivid example of anticapitalist squalor, I’ve been able to convince all three of my children to become investment bankers.
