More From Jesse Jackson

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

There are going to be times when we can't wait for somebody. now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. if you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. if you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn.

Walking on these streets, until the night falls, my life feels to me like the life they have. by day they’re full of meaningless activity; by night, they’re full of meaningless lack of it. by day i am nothing, and by night i am i. there is no difference between me and these streets, save they being streets and i a soul, which perhaps is irrelevant when we consider the essence of things

If you fall-and trust me, you will- make sure you fall on your back. because if you fall on your back, you can see up. and if you can see up, you can get up. and you can keep going and going and going.

I find myself absolutely fulfilled when i have written a poem, when i'm writing one. having written one, then you fall away very rapidly from having been a poet to becoming a sort of poet in rest, which isn't the same thing at all. but i think the actual experience of writing a poem is a magnificent one.

If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.

Rollerball is an incoherent mess, a jumble of footage in search of plot, meaning, rhythm and sense. there are bright colors and quick movement on the screen, which we can watch as a visual pattern that, in entertainment value, falls somewhere between a kaleidoscope and a lava lamp.
