We will fight in every valley, in every street, in every oasis, and every town. We won't surrender again; we are not women; we will keep fighting.

All right, then nobody can complain if we ask pregnant women to make parachute jumps.

We [Libyans] support the Palestinian resistance, and all the world supports this. We support their just cause, but we are against terrorism.

I have said to you before that even if Libya and the United States enter into war, God forbid, you will always remain my son, and I have all the love for you as a son, and I do not want your image to change with me.

The Lybian army is capable of destroying America and breaking its nose.

We put our fingers in the eyes of those who doubt that Libya is ruled by anyone other than its people.

I cannot recognise either the Palestinian state or the Israeli state. The Palestinians are idiots and the Israelis are idiots.
