I feel there should be blacks in every Party.

I'm against abortion.

I loved Clinton; not as a Democrat, but as a person.

Speaking as a black person, welfare is the worst thing that's ever happened to us.

I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby.

We need to take responsibility and educate people. That's why black folks don't like me. I always say it's our responsibility to make safe neighborhoods. It's our job to get them cleaned up.

I believe welfare makes you lazy and unproductive.

Welfare makes you dependent upon someone to take care of you.

This is a racist country.

I'd rather be dead and in heaven than afraid to do what I think is right.

I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.

Democracy is for infidels. A real Muslim is not a democrat because he doesn't care about the opinions of majorities and minorities don't interest him. He is only interested in what Islam says.

Mankind cannot get on without a certain amount of absurdity.

Tomorrow! It is a period nowhere to be found in all the registers of time, unless, perchance, in the fool's calendar.

I like moral judgment to emerge from the reader. We are being sold a very simplistic morality by our leaders at a time when nuance and understanding are at a premium.

When I'm on the court, I'm a follower.

Everything happens when it needs to happen; everyone is always where they need to be. You will never miss out on what is meant for you, even if it has to come to you in a roundabout way.

I'm tired of being lied to by government, by the media, and by every corporation I have anything to do with.

This is the divine moment when we can hold the fairest blossom of spring in one hand and the sweetest flowers of early summer in the other.

I see many black males grasping for some thread of hope. There are so many destructive practices, glimpses into a psychic abyss. That must be very frightening.

I don't like plain nails. I get sad.
