I believe in self-defense and self-determination for Africans and other oppressed people in America.

A revolutionary woman can't have no reactionary man.

What most impressed me about Cuba was the optimism.

Any Black person in amerika [sic], if they are being honest with themselves, have got to come to the conclusion that they don't know what it feels like to be free. We aren't free politically, economically, or socially. We have very little power over what happens in our lives. In fact, a Black person isn't free to walk down the street. Walk down the wrong street, in the wrong neighborhood at night, and you know what happens.

Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. Shaped by our oppression.

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is....never let your enemies choose your enemies for you.
