„Nem a halál az, amitől az embernek félnie kellene, hanem az, hogy soha nem kezd el élni.”

"Malcolm X!" he called out-and when I looked, he stuck his hand out of his car, across at me, grinning. "Do you mind shaking hands with a white man?" Imagine that! Just as the traffic light turned green, I told him, "I don't mind shaking hands with human beings. Are you one?"

Eredeti: Passive resistance is an all-sided sword; it can be used anyhow; it blesses him who uses it and him against whom it is used.
