My thinking had been opened up wide in Mecca. I wrote long letters to my friends, in which I tried to convey to them my new insights into the American black man's struggle and his problems as well as the depths of my search for truth and justice. “I've had enough of someone else's propaganda,” I had written to these friends. “I am for truth, no matter who tells it. I am for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I am a human being first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” The American white man's press called me the angriest Negro in America. I wouldn't deny that charge; I spoke exactly as I felt. I believe in anger. I believe it is a crime for anyone who is being brutalized to continue to accept that brutality without doing something to defend himself. I am for violence if non-violence means that we continue postponing or even delaying a solution to the American black man's problem. White man hates to hear anybody, especially a black man, talk about the crime that the white man perpetrated on the black man. But let me remind you that when the white man came into this country, he certainly wasn't demonstrating non-violence. – malcolm X, Autobiography of malcolm x
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts....

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. – Charles R. Swindoll

Terrorize us, and brainwash our peers, Living in these automatic cars, with these automatic gears. Loudspeakers surgically implanted into each of our ears, Working all week to be pain in sex, drugs, and beer. Ever since we've been handcuffed to evil and fear, You charge extra for coffee, sugar, and air. – Conor A. Daniells

For Ophelia is quite essential to the play, she is very charming-- and a little mad. – Alfred North Whitehead
