There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.
By the way, I don’t mean to pick nits here, but Obama has just ordered the flag at half-mast for 10 days for Mandela. He did not order the flag at half-mast at all for Lady Thatcher.
I think people want to live in a city that is welcoming and inclusive. I don’t think people want to feel that they can only go into a place with a rainbow flag in front.
I think a lot of people saw ‘Fight Club’ and thought, ‘Right, here’s our next Che Guevara, here’s our next Fidel Castro, here’s someone who’s going to wave the flag.’ And I was like, ‘No, it’s just a book. And if I beat that drum, if I play that song one more time, I won’t have a career.’
Growing up in Orange County, it was all O.C. punk, L.A. punk. Black Flag, all the SST stuff.
Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn’t my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don’t love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.
The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.

If you’ve seen ‘Spirited Away’, ‘Spirited Away’ is set in a very, very Japanese sensibility. And so, to Japanese audiences, when Sen would walk up, the main character, and look at this big building with a flag on it with Japanese writing on it, everyone in Japan would know what that is.
Nowhere else in history has there ever been a flag that stands for the right to burn itself. This is the fractal of our flag. It stands for the right to destroy itself.

A CEO of a multinational global company can’t say what to do; you’ve got to plant the flag.
I have always wanted an Olympic medal. I always wanted to see India’s national flag going up at the podium.

I have never written that there is a threat of fascism in America. I always considered the idea overwrought. But now I believe there really is such a threat – and it will come draped not in an American flag, but in the name of tolerance and health.
I felt like, by the end of the week in the U.S. Amateur, I was never aiming at a flag; I was just hitting it at slopes and just letting the natural contours take over.

The Caprese salad perfectly represents the colors of the Italian flag. While I am not so sure that the colors of the flag stem from the cuisine, there is no denying that those colors do evoke a typical Italian plate.
I’ve seen too many comments, too many stories from a fan, or first-time fans that have come to a race in years past and the first thing they say is, ‘I seen the Confederate flag flying, it made me feel uncomfortable.’
Some things that I write, you’ll see a page with cartoon pictures or a drawing of a car – like a Ford – or a flag. I still do it on an occasion when a word is strange to me.
I felt it absolutely essential that we plant the U.N. flag in Rwanda and plant it in a place of significance to show all the political entities, all the signees of the agreement and the Rwandans… that the international community were here and we’re here to stay and we’re going to be doing our job.
On no further occasion present a flag or medal to an Indian.
I have white friends who have the Confederate flag on their license plates, and I have no issue with that if they see that as a matter of heritage. But I do not think it should ever fly over a state, city, county building, or school, for the simple reason that it represents secession from the Union.
I have been and will continue to be 100% pro-Second Amendment, without any exceptions, and will not support passage of red flag laws. Period.
I think the only way that the U.S. human spaceflight program is going to get really revitalized, really put sort of an Apollo level push on it, is if some other country, perhaps China, were to actually have a landed flight to the moon and brought back our American flag and put it in Tiananmen Square.
We said we’d fly the flag without him and carry on. I didn’t give him a kiss because I still hadn’t accepted what was happening. I was hoping that some miracle was going to happen. Of course, it didn’t. I wish I had kissed him now.
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
It’s an unfortunate situation. After such a great play I felt like I got hit late, no flag, broke my hand. That’s it. That’s pretty much been the story for the past three weeks, and obviously at some point something catastrophic was going to happen, and I broke my hand.
What does it mean to truly believe in America? To wave a flag? Or to struggle toward a more searching alternative to the shallowness of the flag-wavers – to criticize, to interrogate, to analyze, to dissent?
When I was 16, we moved to live in Stratford-Upon-Avon. That was the year of Paul Scofield’s ‘Lear.’ I think he is still widely perceived as the only actor who has got his flag at the top of the mountain.
We must make sure that when someone sees the Blue Flag, she or he can say, ‘I am protected.’
The rainbow flag is a symbol of freedom and liberation that we made for ourselves.

The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.
I expect the Republicans will enjoy a large bounce out of their convention. They’re here wrapping themselves in the 9/11 flag, which I think is inappropriate in many ways, but it’s their choice.

I carry the flag of Ireland all the time. I want to represent my country.
I was in high school when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled India’s flag in New Delhi.
I think the fact people still don’t realise why people are taking a knee and saying ‘Black Lives Matter,’ people are being so close-minded to the fact that no one is disrespecting the flag, nobody is saying all lives don’t matter.

I can’t fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation.
The very flag of freedom that waves over our heads is formed from material cultivated by slaves, on soil moistened with their blood drawn from them by the whip of a republican taskmaster!
At some private events, we’ll see the CEO of the company get up and do his ‘Rock Lobster’ dance. The band used to grumble that, ‘All they talk about is hair and don’t take us seriously,’ but I’ve realized that what this band does the best is let loose and let people’s freak flag fly.
I’m extremely proud of ‘Hollyoaks.’ No one could be flying the flag more happily.
Our flag represents every American and it should not be hidden away as a result of property agreements.
In the past, rogue members of the State Department flew the flag of the radical Marxist group, Black Lives Matter. The domestic terrorists represented by that flag have burned down our cities with the mission of defunding our police.
