There's a way that white people and black people spoke in the '70s that is nothing like how they speak now. They spoke from a soul, actually. There's a singsongy way of walking and talking that's just different now.
The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. We are blood brothers to the people of Brazil, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba -- yes Cuba too.
Never test good people because they are like diamonds. when you hit them, they will not break but they will only slip away from your life
This is a perverse thing, personally, but I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us. It gives us latitude to go out and make big bets that excite and amaze people.
I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.
People have the right to defend their country from foreign occupiers, and people have the right to defend their country from invaders who are destroying their country.
I tend to move between turtlenecks and shirts and ties. I don't really have a uniform in the sense that some people might.
I will continue to find ways to help poor people find a job, get a job, and learn someday to own the job.
Nothing's ever the same," she said. Be it a second later or a hundred years. It's always churning and roiling. And people change as much as oceans.
