My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.

I think the time is right for organizing and to give Blacks more political - the progressive Blacks, you have to make a distinction - participation, more Blacks in more authoritative positions, in more electoral political positions. But we want the right ones.

Revolutionary suicide does not mean that I and my comrades have a death wish; it means just the opposite.

The United States is already antique.

There is a very strong socialist movement in Jamaica. I was in Jamaica years ago. All the talk, all day they talk politics. The literacy rate is very low. Everyone is so interested in politics, more than those who can read in the United States.

If you stop struggling, then you stop life.

The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.
