More quotes by Dick Gregory
I was born and raised in St. Louis, and this little town, eight blocks away, place no one ever heard of, a black man there commands the attention of the world for months? That ain't my world.
Dick Gregory
You got to die of something because if you die of nothing, they won't pay your insurance.

To me, seeing a really great comedian is a bit like watching a musician or a poet.
Dick Gregory
We thought I was going to be a great athlete, and we were wrong, and I thought I was going to be a great entertainer, and that wasn't it either. I'm going to be an American Citizen. First class.

Because I'm a civil rights activist, I am also an animal rights activist. Animals and humans suffer and die alike. Violence causes the same pain, the same spilling of blood, the same stench of death, the same arrogant, cruel and vicious taking of life. We shouldn't be a part of it.

That's easy, to stand in a nightclub, where most of the people that come in, they came to see you.
Dick Gregory
I would have painted the White House black. I would have!
Dick Gregory
Nature is not affected by finance. If someone offered you ten thousand dollars to let them touch your eyeball without blinking, you would never collect the money. At the very last moment, Nature would force you to blink your eye. Nature will protect her own.
Dick Gregory
What price would God demand from the churches for having the audacity to lighten the color of his son's skin, and straighten out his nappy hair?
Dick Gregory
Every holiday on the calendar, I check in a hotel and fast - I don't eat, I don't drink, I don't talk.
Dick Gregory
Black Americans are the only people in history who are for education instead of liberation. George Washington wasn't beating up on British for the right to open a college! The line isn't Give me education or give me death.
Dick Gregory
You know why Madison Avenue advertising has never done well in Harlem? We're the only ones who know what it means to be Brand X.
Dick Gregory
Just being a Negro doesn't qualify you to understand the race situation any more than being sick makes you an expert on medicine.
