The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?
Real Latin Men
A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

Naturally my stories are about women - i'm a woman. i don't know what the term is for men who write mostly about men. i'm not always sure what is meant by "feminist." in the beginning i used to say, well, of course i'm a feminist. but if it means that i follow a kind of feminist theory, or know anything about it, then i'm not. i think i'm a feminist as far as thinking that the experience of women is important. that is really the basis of feminism.
Mean Writing Men
He should have known better because, early in his learnings under his brother mahmoud, he had discovered that long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings, but short words were slippery, unpredictable changing their meanings without any pattern. or so he seemed to grok. short human words were never like a short martian word - such as grok which forever meant exactly the same thing. short human words were like trying to lift water with a knife. and this had been a very short word.
Brother Should Have Knives
A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.
Wall Hate Singing
I consider myself 100 percent a feminist, at odds with the feminist establishment in america. for me the great mission of feminism is to seek the full political and legal equality of women with men. however, i disagree with many of my fellow feminists as an equal opportunity feminist, who believes that feminism should only be interested in equal rights before the law. i utterly oppose special protection for women where i think that a lot of the feminist establishment has drifted in the last 20 years.

Mankind are creatures of books, as well as of other circumstances; and such they eternally remain,--proofs, that the race is a noble and believing race, and capable of whatever books can stimulate.
Believe Book Race
I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear destruction... i believe that even amid today's mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow... i still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of god and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed.

All idealists imagine that the causes they serve are fundamentally better than any other causes in the world, and they refuse to believe that if their cause is to flourish at all it requires precisely the same foul-smelling manure that is necessary to all other human undertakings.
Believe World Causes
[it's] troubling because it reminds us how difficult it is to prove anything. we like to pretend that our experiments define the truth for us. but that's often not the case. just because an idea is true doesn't mean it can be proved. and just because an idea can be proved doesn't mean it's true. when the experiments are done, we still have to choose what to believe.
