"People don't realize how a man's whole..." - Quote by Malcolm X

“We reject segregation even more militantly than you say you do! We want separation, which is not the same! The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that segregation is when your life and liberty are controlled, regulated, by someone else. To segregate means to control. Segregation is that which is forced upon inferiors by superiors. But separation is that which is done voluntarily, by two equals - for the good of both!”

“Any time you see someone more successful than you are, they are doing something you aren't.”

“All of us were mischievous at some time or another, I more so than any of the rest. [My brother] Philbert and I kept a battle going. ... Even in our fighting, there was a feeling of brotherly union.”

“Be awesome! Be a book nut!”

“When we read we are able to travel to many places, meet many people and understand the world.”

“We are as much informed of a writer's genius by what he selects as by what he originates. We read the quotation with his eyes, andfind a new and fervent sense; as a passage from one of the poets, well recited, borrows new interest from the rendering. As the journals say, "the italics are ours.”

“Only those who have already experienced a revolution within themselves can reach out effectively to help others.”

“The true Islam has shown me that a blanket indictment of all white people is as wrong as when whites make blanket indictments against blacks.”

“Wherever you are, at whatever age, you're only a thought away from changing your life.”
