A series of poignant and emotional ceremonies were held across America Sunday to honor the 2,983 people killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Here are some quotes from around the world, including from those taking part in 9/11 tributes, as America paid tribute to those who died 10 years ago.

``No memorial, no ceremony, no words will ever fill the void left in your hearts by their loss. My prayer for you is that 10 years later when you think of them, it brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye.''
_ US Vice President Joe Biden at a ceremony at the Pentagon.

``I wish my dad had been there to teach me how to drive, ask a girl out on a date, and see me graduate from high school and 100 other things I can't even begin to name.''
_ Peter Negron, who was 11 when his dad, Peter, perished at the World Trade Center, addressing the ceremony at Ground Zero.

Leave it to the Iranians to make such a statement, of course we can read this in the same context as their theory on the holocaust, which they believe was 6 million Jews killing themselves to gain sympathy so the world would be ok with them setting up their own country. Keep 'em coming Mr Ahmadinejad, you are always good for a laugh.
