I believe in life. And I have seen the death parade

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

We need to be weapons of mass construction, weapons of mass love. It's not enough just to change the system. We need to change ourselves.

It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is....never let your enemies choose your enemies for you.

Only the strong go crazy. The weak just go along.

I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless, robots who protect them and their property.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. Shaped by our oppression.

Dreams and reality are opposites. Action synthesizes them.

To become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.

You are proof alone that I can love.

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.

For me taking a pragmatic decision when it comes to art is almost an oxymoron. The reason I first picked up a pen and wrote a story had nothing pragmatic in it.

his old life lay behind in the mists, dark adventure lay in front.

I have nothing against dogs. I just hate rugs that go squish-squish.

I try to live honestly in every aspect of my life, which can make things a bit more complicated, right?

I don't talk about my personal life, and I don't talk about death.

I loved work and I loved pouring myself into the work, you know. It was the real life that I had trouble with.

I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that.
