“The secret of life is to have no fear; it’s the only way to function.”

One of the tragedies of the struggle against racism is that up to now there has been no national organization which could speak to the growing militancy of young black people in the urban ghetto.

I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people.

Capitalism is a stupid system, a backward system.

I also know that while I am black I am a human being, and therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people didn’t know that.Every time I tried to go into a place they stopped me

Leaders in Africa are so corrupt that we are certain if we put dogs in uniforms and put guns on their shoulders, we’d be hard put to distinguish them.

We had no more courage than Harriet Tubman or Marcus Garvey had in their times. We just had a more vulnerable enemy.

Seems to me that the institutions that function in this country are clearly racist, and that they’re built upon racism.

He admired the way I loved. Because I still gave everything that I had, even when I was left with nothing.

The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.

I never saw you this way but when I did there was no way back.

Should you find the most convenient way of breathing, it will not make you feel more alive.

The way we obey teaches us much about who we really trust.

My head screamed. I want to make them burn the way they did to me. My heart cried that’s not who you are.

I hate to sound this way but, ‘Why me? Why me with dementia?’

The foundation of a good relationship with intentions & goals is keeping in mind that the primary aim of setting and working toward them is to feel the way you want to feel.
