More quotes by Dick Gregory
...Humans were the only creatures in the world that ate their food cooked. You'd never find a Gorilla frying up some bananas for dinner or a lion charcoal-broiling a zebra steak.

Being white is a job in America. You take that away, you better get the soldiers out.
Dick Gregory
Love is man's natural endowment, but he doesn't know how to use it. He refuses to recognize the power of love because of his love of power.
