Alex Haley

Alex Haley
You can never enslave somebody who knows who he is.
Alex Haley
We all suffer. If a man's wise, he learns from it.
Alex Haley
I acknowledge immense debt to the griots [tribal poets] of Africa - where today it is rightly said that when a griot dies, it is as if a library has burned to the ground.
