SEPTEMBER QUOTES

• Imagine, a September 11 with weapons of mass destruction. It's not 3,000. It's tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children.
  ~ Donald Rumsfeld ~
• September 11, 2001, revealed heroism in ordinary people who might have gone through their lives never called upon to demonstrate the extent of their courage.
  ~ Geraldine Brooks ~
• We will have to continue to improve our human intelligence system-something that was, unfortunately, lacking in the years which led up to September 11. This is going to be a continuing process of change.
  ~ John Sununu ~
• September 11 was terrible but, if one goes back over the history of the IRA, what happened to the Americans wasn't that terrible.
  ~ Doris Lessing ~
• In 'The King's Speech,' patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment, the third of September, 1939, where the aggressor is clear, the fight is clear, it hasn't become complicated over time.
  ~ Tom Hooper ~
• Any attempts at humor immediately after September 11th were deemed tasteless.
  ~ Allen Klein ~
• You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in - in 2007, we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th, 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn't know it.
  ~ Warren Buffett ~
• We awoke one morning in September, and the world lurched on its axis.
  ~ Jeb Bush ~
• Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that.
  ~ Richard Dawkins ~
• The attacks of September 11 - and subsequent acts of terror from London to Madrid to Fort Hood, Texas - embody the most repulsive of human instincts, the will to power at the price of the lives of others.
  ~ Jon Meacham ~
• The devastating punch we took on September 11th still reverberates throughout American society.
  ~ Joe Biden ~
• Since the attack on the United States on September 11 2001, and the US retaliation in Afghanistan and Iraq, there must be few people who have not felt a twinge of nostalgia for the cold war.
  ~ James Buchan ~
• In retrospect, the Millennium marked only a moment in time. It was the events of September 11 that marked a turning point in history, where we confront the dangers of the future and assess the choices facing humankind.
  ~ Tony Blair ~
• In retrospect, the Millennium marked only a moment in time. It was the events of September 11 that marked a turning point in history, where we confront the dangers of the future and assess the choices facing humankind.
  ~ Tony Blair ~
• 'The Panorama' is also the last place anywhere in New York where the World Trade Center still stands, whole, as it stood in the early morning of September 11. I can also see the corner where I saw the first tower fall and howled out loud. Seeing the buildings again here is uplifting, healing.
  ~ Jerry Saltz ~
• In the aftermath of September 11, and as the 9/11 Commission report so aptly demonstrates, it is clear that our intelligence system is not working the way that it should.
  ~ Hillary Clinton ~
• It was not a religion that attacked us that September day. It was al-Qaeda. We will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust.
  ~ Barack Obama ~
