“When we can live in peace and harmony with one another, irrespective of race, color, creed....When that day arrives we will be contented. THEN, we all can boast of our DEMOCRACY, and NOT until then.”

“When I'm drunk with feeling and nature is drinking from my lips and we reflect each other in our atmospheres, then my words come effortlessly and my fingers go into labor...day or night. ”

“Lick my finger so I can scan your table of contents- fuck the index- I yearn to ride your story line.”

“Before you criticize a man walk a mile in his shoes--then when you criticize him you will be a mile away, and you'll have his shoes!”

“Live today--tomorrow is where it belongs.”

“On Slavery: The saddest slap in the face is we have NO monument, no real statues or memorials, no special day of Atonement or Remembrance (NOT ONE), no thanks for 400+ years of free labor, forced servitude across the Trans-Atlantic, ass beatings, buying ourselves and families out of slavery, rape and plunder...but everyone else has monuments, special museums, and even movies. This is what America thinks of black people, so-called black president and all, who has been largely silent on this subject...we'll even celebrate Leprechauns, Easter Bunnies, and Secretary's Day before we acknowledge our history.”
