Alex Haley
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Alex Haley

Alex Haley

Alex Haley
Racism and hatred are synonymous.
Alex Haley
In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage- to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness.
Alex Haley
I know that statistically, it has been proven that there is a tremendous amount of black on black crime within the inner cities.
Alex Haley
I tell younger writers that indeed it is devastating to be rejected. You feel like the bottom dropped out of your world.
Alex Haley
That's what happens with writing. Ingredients bubble and cook. Material becomes substance.
Alex Haley
