“Revolution is about change, and the first place the change begins is in yourself.”
― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

“Propaganda to enemy forces, called persuasion, proceeded from the assumption of their basic humanity, i.e. that their hearts and minds were equally capable of conscience and patriotism, and that they were capable of repudiating the dehumanized activities which they were pursuing under the direction of imperialism.”
― James and Grace Lee Boggs

“Constructive criticism and self-criticism are extremely important for any revolutionary organization. Without them, people tend to drown in their mistakes, not learn from them.”
― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

“I am not wrong: Wrong is not my name
My name is my own my own my own
and I can’t tell you who the hell set things up like this
but I can tell you that from now on my resistance
my simple and daily and nightly self-determination
may very well cost you your life”
― June Jordan, Directed by Desire: The Collected Poems
