“...you can jail revolutionaries, but you can’t jail the revolution.
You might run a liberator like Eldridge Cleaver out of the country, but you can’t run liberation out of the country.
You might murder a freedom fighter like Bobby Hutton, but you can’t murder freedom fighting.
And if you do, you’ll come up with answers that don’t answer,
explanations that don’t explain,
you’ll come up with conclusions that don’t conclude
And you’ll come up with people that you thought should be acting like pigs that’s acting like people and instead moving on pigs.”

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

“The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox.”
