The racist conscience of America is such that murder does not register as murder really, unless the victim is white... blacks knew that white blood is the coin of freedom in a land where for four hundred years black blood has been shed unremarked and with impunity.

The object is for everyone to do their own thing, but the thing is to make one's thing the Revolution.

You don't have to teach people how to be human. You have to teach them how to stop being inhuman.

The myth of the strong black woman is the other side of the coin of the myth of the beautiful dumb blonde.

The white youth of today have begun to react to the fact that the American Way of Life is a fossil of history. What do they care if their old baldheaded and crew-cut elders don't dig their caveman mops? They couldn't care less about the old, stiff-assed honkies who don't like their new dances: Frog, Monkey, Jerk, Swim, Watusi. All they know is that it feels good to swing to way-out body-rhythms instead of dragging across the dance floor like zombies to the dead beat of mind-smothered Mickey Mouse music.

Everybody changes, not just me.

We shall have our manhood. We shall have it or the earth will be leveled by our attempts to gain it.
