“If you fight you won’t always win. But if you don’t fight you will always lose”

The achievements of Labour in the years after the Second World War should never be underestimated, but they are now history.

The liberation movement which I led in Algeria, the organization that I created to fight the French army, was at first a small movement of nothing at all.

We need a united front against Islamic State and Assad happens to be the decisive power that can fight them. But the situation is preposterous because we also have to respect the calls for change. I would be in favor of a dignified change.

I’m still fighting. I don’t know how much longer, but I’m still fighting a struggle, which is to make cinema alive and not just make another film.

I went through about six or seven painting methods just to see what I didn’t want to do. And then I got off the wall, and went into the environment.

Now, being a girl, I was ashamed of my body and my lack of strength. So I tried to be a man.

Subjection of any kind and in any place is beneath the dignity of man.

People are always fighting reality until it’s pushed down their throats.

All these names we’re using now are just an illusion made to keep us fighting each other.
