More quotes by Alex Haley
I am really quite proud of most of the people I know who have made it, who do things to help people.
Alex Haley
You're always being judged. No matter what you do, it's not the right thing. If you didn't become successful, then you'd be pointed at as one of those creatures down their who didn't take advantage of this or that, who didn't climb and rise and so forth.
Alex Haley
Indeed optimists rather than defeatists have produced the results for which serious genealogical research is best known.
Alex Haley
There was a great deal of inbreeding between the Indians and the slaves. Genetically speaking, black people are some part black, some part European.
Alex Haley
We all suffer. If a man's wise, he learns from it.
Alex Haley
Every death is like the burning of a library.
Alex Haley
Brown people wouldn't speak to someone who was black.
Alex Haley
Raw, naked truth exchanged between the black man and the white man is what a whole lot more of is needed in this country - to clear the air of the racial mirages, cliches, and lies that this country's very atmosphere has been filled with for four hundred years.
Alex Haley
Unless we learn from history, we are destined to repeat it. This is no longer merely an academic exercise, but may contain our worlds fate and our destiny.
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.
Alex Haley
I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering what if? I would keep putting my dreams to the test - even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
Alex Haley
Most of us prefer to be as quiet as possible about giving, because every time it's publicized that we do something, if it's something of the nature of giving, we'll be doubly besieged, and you really get sick of being always criticized no matter what you do.
Alex Haley
I get interviewed a lot, and I found myself listening to what the interviewer is asking me, I'm analyzing what I'm being asked more than my response.
Alex Haley
I look at my books the way parents look at their children. The fact that one becomes more successful than the others doesn't make me love the less successful one any less.
Alex Haley
You have to deal with the fact that your life is your life.
Alex Haley
I don't know anywhere in the world where there is not racism against somebody.
Alex Haley
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
Alex Haley
It's an hour during the week where you can just slow down.
Alex Haley
In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.
Alex Haley
When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.
Alex Haley
