This planet is a wonderful place, but a vulnerable place.

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.

Prayer purifies the soul.

To spur a willing horse.

Reading changes your perspective and feeds your imagination.

I try and sit on the fence because as soon as you voice any kind of opinion, people begin to think you're an idiot.

But no one can ever say I didn’t sing.

Second sight is redundant to reason anyway.

To be here and now, you have to be in meditation, beyond mind.

Work is not an end in itself; there must always be time enough for love.

It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define it.

I love being able to be the artist of the whole picture, as opposed to just one of the brushes.
