I am an international leader, the dean of the Arab rulers, the king of kings of Africa and the imam of Muslims, and my international status does not allow me to descend to a lower level.

I am a Bedouin warrior who brought glory to Libya and will die a martyr.

Those who do not love me do not deserve to live.

The times of Arab nationalism and unity are gone forever. These ideas which mobilized the masses are only a worthless currency. Libya has had to put up with too much from the Arabs for whom it has poured forth both blood and money.

I am the hero of Africa.

It does irritate me when I am described as a controversialist and commentator on Israel.
