People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows.

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.

Sometimes our best speech is the way we look in silence!

He who writes prose builds his temple to Fame in rubble he who writes verses builds it in granite.

Today's gossip is tomorrow's headline.

So much saintlike patience cannot be good for anyone.

Hate has no place in the house of God. No one should be excluded from our love, our compassion or our concern because of race or gender, faith or ethnicity - or because of their sexual orientation.

The goal in life is to live young, have fun, and arrive at your final destination as late as possible, with a smile on your face.

If we think systematically, we will stop asking, How much is nature worth? We will know that we are a piece of nature ourselves.

Giving is the highest expression of our power.
