• Una percepción errónea que se tiene de mí es... que soy un norteño duro y áspero, y supongo que en realidad lo soy. Pero la mayor parte del tiempo soy bastante apacible. Supongo que son los papeles que interpretas. No me importa. No soy un tipo duro. Me gustaría actuar como un hombre justo, despreocupado y amable en algún momento.

• History has different yardsticks for the cruelty of the Northerners and the cruelty of the Southerners in the Civil War. A slave-owner who through cunning and violence shackles a slave in chains, and a slave who through cunning or violence breaks the chains – let not the contemptible eunuchs tell us that they are equals before a court of morality!

• Southern Kordofan is not a disputed territory. It is, and will remain, in the north, where the Nuba Mountains are. People believe there was a genocide there in 1990s. The Nuba, who are northerners, fought with the south in the north-south war. But they have their own individual interests, and they will remain in the north after the south splits.

• Para la mayoría de los norteños, Texas es el hogar de los hombres de verdad. Los cowboys, los rednecks, los millonarios de derechas hechos a sí mismos nos parecen los mejores o los peores ejemplos de la hombría estadounidense.... El ideal no es una ilusión ni es despreciable, por mucho daño que haya hecho. Muchas personas que lo desprecian en la conversación quieren someterse a él en la cama. Los que creen que el machismo sólo apesta a violencia optan por olvidar que una vez también representó el honor.

• I used to be mouthy. It was all to do with being a northerner and from Manchester, which was suddenly a big deal when I was in my 20s. When I read some of the interviews I did back then, I cringe.

• Convertir la guerra en una cruzada antiesclavista fue una jugada brillante por parte de Lincoln, y dio lugar a una oleada de reclutas voluntarios en el ejército de la Unión. Pero esto no duró. Puede que los norteños desaprobaran la esclavitud en el Sur pero, una vez que la sangría comenzó en serio, su voluntad de morir por esa convicción empezó a menguar. [...] Lincoln se enfrentó a la embarazosa realidad de que pronto se quedaría sin ejército para continuar la cruzada.

• Where I grew up in the North-east, the community there, and the way people relate to one another, goes very deep. But I don't define myself as a Northerner in that I don't live in the North.

• Here is my Farm Relief bill: Every time a Southerner plants nothing on his farm but cotton year after year, and the Northerner nothing but wheat or corn, why, take a hammer and hit him twice right between the eyes. You may dent your hammer, but it will do more real good than all the bills you can pass in a year.

• Before the thunderous clamor of political debate or war set loose in the world, love insisted on its promise for the possibility of human unity: between men and women, between blacks and whites, northerners and southerners, haves and have-have-nots, self and self.
