“It is only in virtue that you can discover, that you can live - not in the cultivation of a virtue, which merely brings about respectability, not understanding and freedom.”

“He was known to hit low, drive upward from the hips, and flip other boys over his shoulder and onto their backs, knocking the wind out of them on the glass-littered asphalt, sometimes causing a fumble and always inciting cheers from onlookers up and down the street––especially when he punctuated the hit with the words "Patent that!"...This permissible violence was unique in that it elicited respect from the victim rather than calls for retribution.”

“Perhaps more than never, in a highly globalized world, we must recognize that multiculturalism is not simply understanding ethnic/racial histories or the mere appreciation of cultural “difference,” but accepting that multiculturalism spreads across the very inner core of America’s institutions, and ingrained in the very essence of life, for multicultural perspectives, ideas, and ideologies empower us to elevate the multicultural discourse to a higher level of social transformation—ultimately, universal equality, justice, respect, and human dignity for all, in all facets of human existence.”

“Non dobbiamo mai ridere della lotta degli altri, anche quando si tratta di qualcosa che per noi è facile o per cui non abbiamo lottato. Perché tutti noi abbiamo le nostre battaglie individuali su cui dobbiamo lavorare duramente. La lotta di un altro potrebbe esserti facile, ma smettila di pensare sempre a te stesso.La tua battaglia è facile? Lo è mai stata? No, non lo era e non lo è. Beh, non è facile nemmeno quella delle altre persone. E penso che già solo questo significhi che tutti noi ci dobbiamo reciprocamente un grande rispetto.”

“He said that he was sorry but Robert Bey had called and told him i was no longer in the party. I was burnt. I got the Bronx Ministry to put him on the phone and proceeded to call him the unprincipled, arrogant idiot he was... i hate arrogance whether it's white or purple or Black. Some people let power get to their heads... the only great people i have met have been modest and humble. You can't claim that you love people when you don't respect them, and you can't call for political unity unless you practice it in your relationships.”
