“When I am dead--I say it that way because from the things I know, I do not expect to live long enough to read this book in its finished form--I want you to just watch and see if I'm not right in what I say: that the white man, in his press, is going to identify me with "hate". He will make use of me dead, as he has made use of me alive, as a convenient symbol, of "hatred"--and that will help him escape facing the truth that all I have been doing is holding up a mirror to reflect, to show, the history of unspeakable crimes that his race has committed against my race.”
― Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

“If you are in a country that is progressive, the woman is progressive. If you're in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it's because the woman is aware of the importance of education. But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed its because the women don't have education.”
― Malcolm X

“They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as fast as they.”

“أنت تثق فيهم, أما أنا فلا. لقد درستَ عنهم في المدارس ماأرادوك أن تدرسه أما أنا فقد درستهم في الشوارع والسجون, أي على الطبيعة”
