A Quote by Ilan Pappe

While in the American academia the knowledge production on the Middle East in general and Syria in particular has been considerably transformed in recent years, the dissemination of these more updated views fails to reach the conventional educational system. For two main reasons: Politics can still subdue and censor views that are not endorsed ideologically, and academics have still not learned how to write openly, directly and, one should say, courageously about these issues.

I'm grateful for Donald Trump's pro-life views. And I'm grateful that he's expressed those views so publicly and openly. And, look, the American people know that there are issues that divide us very quickly, and they're issues that are often matters of the heart for every American.

Mike Pence

I can still boss people around. I can still write. I can still read. I can still eat, and I can still have very strong views.

Tony Judt

At 18 years old, you don't think about the impact the job will have on the future. You're not completely switched on to how society views women, so while it was such a great experience there is still a snobbery about 'Page 3,' which is a huge shame.

Keeley Hazell

Syria is geographically and politically in the middle of the Middle East. That is why we are in contact with most of the problems forever, let us say, whether directly or indirectly.

Bashar al-Assad

I see no good reasons why the views given in this volume should shock the religious views of anyone.

Charles Darwin

We should not live in fear, we should all enjoy being able to express our views freely and openly, challenge each other on issues.

Tan Cheng Bock

Unless this [Barack Obama] American administration is willing to diverge from the conventional American policy in the Middle East by changing its basic attitudes on crucial questions, foremost of them Palestine, and support genuinely the rights of people for independence, sovereignty and identity across the board, the only "resolve" one would hope from the USA is to stay out of the Middle East for a while.

We lived in a totalitarian system for more than 70 years, and our views are still under its influence. Many heads of state in the former Soviet republics believe that they must have total power.

Irakli Okruashvili

We have always been a great national party, with views on all the main issues. We recognise that what matters to people most are those things that affect their daily lives: schools, hospitals, transport and law and order and we have plenty to say about them.

John Redwood

I think people cast their votes for a number of reasons. I think if you look at your polls, you'll probably find that many, many people think that our views are closer to what they believe the future of America should be. That our views are closer on economic issues. And a lot of those polls come down to demographics, to age, to how much money you are making.

Bernie Sanders

I learned to have the patience to listen when people put forward their views, even if I think those views are wrong. You can't reach a just decision in a dispute unless you listen to both sides.

Nelson Mandela

I've always had strong views on social issues such as hospitals - I think we should have a good health system - and the education system, too.

Chris Hughton

I have strong views about South African politics and I still don't feel I need to make public statements.

Zola Budd

The relationship of Trump to Russia has been reported on, and the activity to change the Republican platform happened openly, and Trump's support for Russian policy - Russia's views of Europe and its views of NATO - have been stated. So it's not like this is secret.

Anne Applebaum

People have different views of how you deal with different issues in literature, and, frankly, long may it last that there is a range of views.

Kate Mosse

I don't think that you want to see universities in any way trying to have any kind of quota system about political views, or views in general. You want the market to work in the way the market works.

Louis Menand
