“I believe strongly and sincerely that with the deep-rooted wisdom and dignity.”

At long last, the battle has ended! And thus, Ghana, your beloved country is free forever!

The total liberation and unification of Africa under an All-African Socialist Government must be the primary objective of all Black revolutionaries throughout the world.

We have awakened. We will not sleep anymore. Today, from now on, there is a new African in the world!

It is an objective which when achieved, will bring about the fulfillment of the aspirations of Africans and people of African descent everywhere. It will at the same time advance the triumph of the international socialist revolution.

It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else . . .

Capitalism is a development by refinement from feudalism, just as feudalism is development by refinement from slavery .

The notion that in order to have a nation it is necessary for there to be a common language, a common territory and common culture has failed to stand the test of time or the scrutiny of scientific definition of objective reality…

As far as i am concerned, i am in the knowledge that death can never extinguish the torch which i have lit in Ghana and Africa.

The traditional face of Africa includes an attitude towards man which can only be described as being socialist

The fortunes of the African revolution are closely linked with the world-wide struggle against imperialism. It does not matter where the battle erupts, be it in Africa, Asia or Latin America, the master-mind and master-hand at work are the same.

But I think that of all the literature that I studied, the book that did more than any other to fire my enthusiasm was The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey published by his wife.

Her earth is rich, yet the products that come from above and below the soil continue to enrich, not Africans predominantly, but groups and individuals who operate to Africa’s impoverishment.

Action without thought is empty. Thought without action is blind.

Africa is a paradox which illustrates and highlights neo-colonialism .

We face neither East nor West: we face forward.

For centuries, Europeans dominated the African continent.

Just when I think the human race has been lost to the “what about me” people. I see the best we have to offer helping others.

Two races we’ve lost which I’m genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.

Nowadays my brain no longer races compulsively in either elation, grandiosity, or depression. I have been given a quiet place in bright sunshine.

Even if the whole human race dies off because we keep fighting and killing each other and being heartless, the planet will take care of itself. Eventually, after millions of years.

The human race has been set up. Someone, somewhere, is playing a practical joke on us. Apparently, women need to feel loved to have sex. Men need to have sex to feel loved. How do we ever get started.

He who starts behind in the great race of life must forever remain behind or run faster than the man in front.

Above all, I would not expect a wise race, at great expense, to set loose an army of self-replicating robots.

Jazz has both white and black elements, and each in some respects has influenced the other. It’s recent phase seems to throw the light of the white race’s sophistication upon the anguish of the black.
