The people who are running this planet are insane - they are literally destroying it. I don't know where they think they're gonna drink water, breathe air.

Theory without practice is just as incomplete as practice without theory.

I hate war, and I hate having to struggle. I honestly do because I wish I had been born into a world where it was unnecessary. This context of struggle and being a warrior and being a struggler has been forced on me by oppression. Otherwise I would be a sculptor, or a gardener, carpenter - You know, I would be free to be so much more… I guess part of me or a part of who I am, a part of what I do is being a warrior - a reluctant warrior, a reluctant struggler. But I do it, because I’m committed to life.

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

I stay connected in my head. I'm spiritually and psychologically connected to African-Americans. They are my people, and that will never change.

When Black people seriously organize and take up arms to fight for our liberation, there will be a lot of white people who will drop dead from no other reason than their own guilt and fear.

I realized that I was connected to Africa.
