“From the beginning I felt that there were only two ways to create change for black people in this country — either politically or by open armed revolution. Malcolm defined it succinctly — the ballot or the bullet. Since I believe that human life is uniquely valuable and important, for me the choice had to be the creative use of the ballot. I still believe I was right. I hope America never succeeds in changing my mind.  ”

― Shirley Chisholm

“Always look at what people do, not who they are.”

“If you think I'm jealous because someone else got to stab you, then you're right.”
