One of my brothers read a lot. His head was forever in some book.

It is only after the deepest darkness that the greatest light can come; it is only after extreme grief that the greatest joy can come.

Better jobs and housing are only temporary solutions. They are aspects of tokenism and don't go to the heart of the problem.

We are nonviolent with people who are nonviolent with us.

I will be happy to give my life to see some of these white devils die.
