• So long as our land is occupied it is the right of the Palestinian people and their factions to combine resistance and political activities. Resistance and its arms are directed against the occupation while political activity is part of re-arranging the Palestinian home.

• Some of my colleagues who are criticized today for lack of forthright principles-or who are looked upon with scorn as compromising "politicians"-are simply engaged in the fine art of conciliating, balancing and interpreting the forces and factions of public opinion, an art essential to keeping our nation united and enabling our Government to function.

• Un apodo puede desgastarse por casualidad; pero un sistema de calumnia, perseguido por una facción, puede descender incluso a la posteridad. Este principio ha surtido pleno efecto en este favorito del estado.

• El sentido del humor define a las personas, como facciones, más arraigadas que las opiniones religiosas o políticas. Al realizar las tareas cotidianas, es bastante fácil dejar de lado las opiniones, pero aquellos con quienes una persona comparte el sentido del humor son sus amigos más íntimos. Siempre están ahí para ejercer la mayor influencia.

• The domestic NSA-led Surveillance State which Frank Church so stridently warned about has obviously come to fruition. The way to avoid its grip is simply to acquiesce to the nation's most powerful factions, to obediently remain within the permitted boundaries of political discourse and activism. Accepting that bargain enables one to maintain the delusion of freedom - "he who does not move does not notice his chains," observed Rosa Luxemburg - but the true measure of political liberty is whether one is free to make a different choice.

• In the background lurks the scourge of international terrorism. There are people exercising power in a few countries and leading political factions in others who seem to be moved by narrow, brutal and irrational impulses. Their view of their own self-interest is so blinkered as to leave no space for purely human values, for peaceful negotiation or for economic advancement. They are bent on the destruction of the established order and of civilised ways of doing business. They must never be allowed to succeed.

• The poetical tendency of the present and of the preceding century has been divided in a manner singularly curious. One loud and conspicuous faction of bards, giving way to the corrupt influences of a decaying general culture, seems to have abandoned all the properties of versification and reason in its mad scramble after sensational novelty; whilst the other and quieter school constituting a more logical evolution from the poesy of the Georgian period, demands an accuracy of rhyme and metre unknown even to the polished artists of the age of Pope.

• Tan fuerte es esta propensión de la humanidad a caer en animosidades mutuas, que cuando no se presenta ninguna ocasión sustancial, las distinciones más frívolas y extravagantes han sido suficientes para encender sus pasiones hostiles y excitar sus conflictos más violentos. Pero la fuente más común y duradera de facciones ha sido la diversa y desigual distribución de la propiedad.

• I shield my eyes from the sun to see her cold look—the expression I saw in my mind even before I looked at her. She looks older to me than she ever has, stern and tough and worn by time. I feel that way, too. “These people have no regard for human life,” she says. “They’re about to wipe the memories of all our friends and neighbors. They’re responsible for the deaths of a large majority of our old faction.” She sidesteps me and marches toward the door. “I think they’re lucky I’m not going to kill them.

• I deeply believe that if the Australian Labor Party, a party of which I have been a proud member for more than 30 years, is to have the best future for our nation, then it must change fundamentally its culture and to end the power of faceless men. Australia must be governed by the people, not by the factions.

• Si comenzamos con... un escrupuloso respeto a la Constitución, el gobierno adquirirá un espíritu y un tono productivo de bendiciones permanentes para la comunidad. Si, por el contrario,... la Constitución es menospreciada o desvirtuada con cualquier pretexto frívolo, el futuro del gobierno será débil, distraído y arbitrario. Los derechos de los súbditos serán el deporte de todas las vicisitudes partidistas. No habrá ninguna regla de conducta establecida, sino que todo fluctuará con la prevalencia alterna de las facciones contendientes.

• I am like all other atheists only in that I do not believe there are any gods. Beyond that, I may differ dramatically in my values and beliefs from any other atheist. On both sides of the political spectrum, one can find the neo-conservative Objectivists and the ultra-liberal Communists, both of whom hate each other. These two factions take up nearly opposite sets of values, yet both are comprised of unabashed atheists.

• We consider ourselves to be free because no one in our society is allowed unlimited powerno leader, faction, party or 'class', no majority, no government, church, corporation, trade, or professional association or trade union. The secret of its freedom is that it is composed of a multitude of organisations in the constitution of the best of which is reproduced that diffusion of power which is characteristic of the whole.

• A nation riven by factions, in which the minority has no hope of ever becoming a majority, or in which some group knows it is perpetually outcast, will seem oppressive to its members, whatever the legal pretensions.

• We have a small faction, and they are a minority, who believe they are there to govern. Then there is the majority of us who believe that indeed we are there to govern but more importantly we are there to be an opposition to the Democratic philosophy and the only way to do that is through confrontation.

• Cuando leo los epitafios de los bellos, todo deseo desordenado se apaga; cuando me encuentro con el dolor de los padres sobre una lápida, mi corazón se derrite de compasión; cuando veo la tumba de los propios padres, considero la vanidad de afligirnos por aquellos a quienes debemos seguir rápidamente: cuando veo reyes yaciendo junto a los que los depusieron, cuando considero a los ingenios rivales colocados uno al lado del otro, o a los santos varones que dividieron al mundo con sus contiendas y disputas, reflexiono con pena y asombro sobre las pequeñas competiciones, facciones y debates de la humanidad.

• The photographer discovers himself/herself being photographed and we can guess he is uncomfortable. Unsuccessfully he/she tries to recompose his posture and to look like a photographer taking photos. But no, he is and continues to be a spectator. The momentous fact of being photographed leads him to becoming an actor. And, as always, actors must assume a role, which is only an elegant way of avoiding to say they must choose sides, choose a faction, take an option.
