Youths are passed through schools that don’t teach, then forced to search for jobs that don’t exist and finally left stranded in the street to stare at the glamorous lives advertised around them.

More quotes by Huey Newton
By surrendering my life to the revolution, I found eternal life
Huey Newton
Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.
Huey Newton
The neighbors were more than neighbors [on Cuba]. They were like part of the family.
Huey Newton
The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.
Huey Newton
There is a very strong socialist movement in Jamaica. I was in Jamaica years ago. All the talk, all day they talk politics. The literacy rate is very low. Everyone is so interested in politics, more than those who can read in the United States.
Huey Newton
I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth.
Huey Newton
Too many so-called leaders of the movement have been made into celebrities and their revolutionary fervor destroyed by mass media. They become Hollywood objects and lose identification with the real issues. The task is to transform society only the people can do that
Huey Newton
To die for the racists is lighter than a feather, but to die for the people is heavier than any mountain and deeper than any sea.
Huey Newton
The Cuban Revolutionary Government has been generous and very considerate to me and my family. I lived in Santa Clara for a few months because I wanted to work in the countryside and get to know the country better.
Huey Newton
I am very happy here [on Cuba], but I feel I have work to do in the United States. It's where I can identify with the total world struggle for socialism. But I think as a North American, as a Black North American, I have certain understandings - certain contributions - to make that are unique to the North Amerian experience.
Huey Newton
The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.
Huey Newton
The reactionary suicide is ‘wise,’ and the revolutionary suicide is a ‘fool,’ a fool for the revolution in the way Paul meant when he spoke of being a ‘fool for Christ,’ That foolishness can move mountains of oppression it is our great leap and our commitment to the dead and the unborn.
Huey Newton
Let us go on outdoing ourselves a revolutionary man always transcends himself or otherwise he is not a revolutionary man, so we always do what we ask of ourselves or more than what we know we can do.
Huey Newton
The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.
Huey Newton
I think the time is right for organizing and to give Blacks more political - the progressive Blacks, you have to make a distinction - participation, more Blacks in more authoritative positions, in more electoral political positions. But we want the right ones.
Huey Newton
I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.
Huey Newton
Revolutionary suicide does not mean that I and my comrades have a death wish it means just the opposite.
Huey Newton
When you deal with a man, deal with his most valuable possession, his life. There's play and there's the deep flow. I like to take things to the deep flow of play, because everything is a game, serious and nonserious at the same time. So play life like it's a game.
Huey Newton
We [Panthers] have not said much about the homosexual at all, but we must relate to the homosexual movement because it is a real thing. And I know through reading, and through my life experience and observations that homosexuals are not given freedom and liberty by anyone in the society. They might be the most oppresed people in the society.
Huey Newton
The United States is already antique.
