The Singaporean speculative tradition is different. Singapore doesn’t conceive itself as the centre of the world or the one country that’s going to save the world, so there’s a different tone that comes out in the way speculative fiction is done. That’s refreshing to read.
There is a certain amount of momentum that is achieved when one country after another reopens their borders.
Climate change, the spread of weapons of mass destruction. None of those can really effectively be dealt with by any one country acting alone and even the United States can’t handle them alone. China needs to be part of the game on that.
I regard the endorsement of both the objective and a method – which can differ from one country to another- of democratization by the parties in the region as a basic requisite of democratization in the Middle East.
The UN’s unique legitimacy flows from a universal perception that it pursues a larger purpose than the interests of one country or a small group of countries.
Homophobia is not the monopoly of any one country, culture, or religion.
Since 2000, I’ve been based in Paris at the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville, curating the programme there. Internationally, it’s a very open situation that goes beyond national boundaries; directors and curators move from one country to another, which has opened up the museum landscape.
The U.N. had such lofty goals to eliminate poverty and stop war and cure diseases and help refugees – things that no one country could do.
Immigrants are people who leave one country, one society, and move to another society. But there has to be a recipient society to which the immigrants move.
One country and one country alone, China, aspires to be the world’s superpower and has the resources to do it.
After globalisation, one country can’t destabilise another country, as the international community will not forget it.
It’s not enough for one country or even a few countries to reduce emissions when other countries continue to fill the atmosphere with carbon pollution as they see fit.
It is not viable for one country to demand a right to increase and upgrade its nuclear weapons capabilities while asking others to eliminate theirs.
Clearly, rules governing advertising aimed at children differ dramatically from one country to another. At the same time, multinational companies are selling their products across the globe. The need, therefore, is to evolve an international code on such advertisements.
Being a professional cricketer, you have to adapt to the conditions quickly. It takes time to get rhythm when you are constantly traveling from one country to another.
We are a diverse country, but we are one country. And we are at our best when we come together as Americans, not despite our differences, but in celebration of them.
No one country has a team that hold a monopoly on the league like Maccabi does in Israel.
We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.
We’re so interdependent, and what one country does is such an important part of what happens in the global economy.
One country, one constitution, one destiny.
There just isn’t a version of ‘socialism in one country’ around in the 21st century. I think it’s really important that we don’t fall for this nirvana of ‘Let’s just get out, and we can create a socialist Britain.’
We should not replicate the situation where one country is in a situation to hijack the rest of Europe because they organize a referendum.
I’ve been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.
If there’s one country that can be trusted to understand the complexity of history, it’s Israel.
There will be a winner. There will a president-elect. But there will not be a defeated people. Tomorrow, we are only one country, only one Venezuela. Tomorrow in the country there are many problems that we have to resolve. Problems do not wait.
It is not acceptable for one country to change the borders of another by force.
Immigrants are people who leave one country, one society, and move to another society. But there has to be a recipient society to which the immigrants move.
I think South Africa has shown it can host such a big event as the World Cup, so why not hold the Olympics at some point in Africa? Maybe not just in one country but in a host of countries.
Having excessive power in the hands of one country meant the fate of the world was too dependent on what happened in that one country.
‘Babel’ is about the point of view of others. It literally includes points of views as experienced from the other side. It is not about a hero. It is not about only one country. It is a prism that allows us to see the same reality from different angles.
Since Britain handed over jurisdiction of its former colony to China 20 years ago, the city has operated under the notion of ‘one country, two systems.’ That increasingly appears to be an empty slogan.
On what rests the hope of the republic? One country, one language, one flag!
When you look at a city, you know, it looks so unique. You feel this kind of uniqueness, you know, and especially if you go from a big city to a small city or if you go from one country to another. Cities look very different, often. They even feel very different. You know, and they are, of course. They certainly are.
I think one country with nuclear weapons is one country too many.
The two biggest legacies of the Raj are the unification of India and the English language. Moreover, without the railways, India would not have been connected and could not have become one country.
As our world gets more interconnected, no one country or region can meet development challenges on its own.
Rich people in one country don’t act the same as rich people in another country.
And by the way, a piece of news, Israel is the one country in which everyone is pro-American, opposition and coalition alike. And I represent the entire people of Israel who say, ‘Thank you, America.’ And we’re friends of America, and we’re the only reliable allies of America in the Middle East.
Even if the CCP is willing to stick with ‘one country, two systems’ in principle, no one can say for certain whether Hong Kong’s freedoms of speech and the press would survive in reality.
There is no right to a job or a wage rate, but there is a right to move from one country to another in search of a better life. This is the point of view of Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and other great supporters of the natural rights tradition in America.
The elite footballers of one country meet at the national team and it’s an honour for me to be among them.
One country, one constitution, one destiny.
Throughout history, it took centuries for the habits of one culture to materially affect another. Now, that which becomes popular in one country can sweep through others within months.
There is this idea that it’s very different from the French point of view to work in America blah, blah, blah. But I think it’s different from one person to the other, not from one country to the other.
I’ve been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.
My personal opinion, Suni Williams – I think that when we really leave the planet – we all go as humans, not as people from one country or another. We are humans; we work together. This is our only planet as human beings that we know of. So we all should have an interest in preserving it.
