“For your own good, for the good of your family and your future, grow a backbone. When something is wrong, stand up and say it is wrong, and don't back down.”

“from Assata's time cooking at the free breakfast program for kids:One little girl came over to me and tapped me on the back. 'There's something wrong with your pancakes.''What's wrong with them?''They don't taste good.”

“Zooey said... It would be very nice to come home and be in the wrong house. To eat dinner with the wrong people by mistake, sleep in the wrong bed by mistake, and kiss everybody good-bye in the morning thinking they were your own family.”

“Do not be a people without a will of your own saying: If others treat well you will also treat well and if they do wrong we will do wrong; but accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and do not do wrong if they do evil.”

“If you don't own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.”

“They will say you are on the wrong road, if it is your own.”
