Dick Gregory
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.
Dick Gregory
What happens to Black Folks today, happens to White Folks tomorrow.
Dick Gregory
In the South they don't mind how close I get, so long as I don't get too big. In the North they don't mind how big I get, so long as I don't get too close.
Dick Gregory
I wouldn't mind paying taxes... if I knew they were going to a friendly country
