“Everybody knows there is no fineness or accuracy of suppression; if you hold down one thing you hold down the adjoining.”
“Never let the hand you hold, hold you down.”
“You can't let God down because you are not the one holding him up”
“You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.”
“The thing about oppression is this: when you hold someone down, you, too, have to be there to make sure they don't move.”
“As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.”
