Quotes about flag, page 45
We raise our glasses while waving the black flag
to friends sailing through the mid-century drag.
When embracing Kathy and Ginny
we will concede to know the skinny
since passions rise steady while body parts sag.

Petrov-Vodkin: I felt as if I couldn't live without Picasso. So I began to buy them one by one. Picasso hypnotized me, bewitched me. It is clear that the flag raised by Shchukin has launched a revolution.
line from Sergei Shchukin, Tale Of An Art Collector, script by Tania Rakhmanova (2016)

I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it.

Yes, I'm a patriotic person. For these people who disgrace the American way and burn our flag and do all of these things... I say, don't live here and disgrace my country. Go live in the Middle East and see how you like it.

People from major labels were afraid to go to Black Flag gigs throughout most of the band's existence. They treated our gigs as something threatening. I'm sure that it probably was. They probably had reasons to be scared.

The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty, democracy, and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday, and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields.

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.

More Bittersweet still...
A Marine kneeling in front of a boy
A seven year old boy with hands extended
barely containing his sorrow
Presenting him with a folded flag
With quivering chin, fighting back tears
In acknowledgement that his dad
…Has no tomorrow…

From Swords to Plowshares
A field of crop
once was a battlefield (red)
now feeds a remnant -
They that survived
the young that gave up their lives
so that this plot of land
Might remain in this nation
to fly its flag
and export its blood-bought grain.
