The first part of planning is to believe that you can put that plan into practise.

I think it's really hard to plan if you don't believe you can implement those plans.

I think that one of the great things that the Cuban revolution has done is preserve history.

I had to adjust to living in a Third World country, which means that things people in the U.S. take for granted-like hot running water whenever you turn on the tap-are not always available.

A revolutionary woman can't have no reactionary man. If he's not about liberation, if he's not about struggle, if he ain't about building a strong Black family, if he ain't about building a strong Black nation, then he ain't about nothing.

I couldn't see how we could seriously struggle without having a strong sense of collectivity, without being responsible FOR each other and TO each other.

I think anybody who is honestly struggling against racism must struggle against imperialism and vice versa.
