More quotes by Malcolm X
There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white.
Malcolm X
As long as you are convinced you have never done anything, you can never do anything.
Malcolm X
Everybody has a God and believes that his God will deliver him and protect him from his enemies!
Malcolm X
I'm sorry to say that the subject I most disliked was mathematics. I have thought about it. I think the reason was that mathematics leaves no room for argument. If you made a mistake, that was all there was to it.
Malcolm X
You get your freedom by letting your enemy know that you'll do anything to get it. Then you'll get it. It's the only way you'll get it.
Malcolm X
But they don't use law-they use law for their interests. They don't go by law, international, federal, local-nothing! They go by whatever is expedient to protect the interests that are at stake.

The black nation of Egypt is the only country that has a science named after its culture: Egyptology
Malcolm X
I have rarely talked to anyone about my mother, for I believe that I am capable of killing a person, without hesitation, who happened to make the wrong kind of remark about my mother. So I purposely don't make any opening for some fool to step into.
Malcolm X
They call me a teacher, a fomenter of violence. I would say point blank, That is a lie. I'm not for wanton violence, I'm for justice.
Malcolm X
Muhammad teaches us the knowledge of our own selves, and of our own people. He cleans us up-morally, mentally and spiritually
Malcolm X
...the collective white man had acted like a devil in virtually every contact he had with the world's collective non-white man.
Malcolm X
The Chinese in this country aren't asking for integration.
Malcolm X
Well, the white race in America is the same way. As individuals it is impossible for them to escape the collective crime committed against the Negroes in this country, collectively.
Malcolm X
In stating that the idea of a separate state is not practical, I'm also stating that the idea of integration, forced integration, as they've been making an effort to do in this country for the past years, is also just as impractical.
Malcolm X
Martin Luther King has made the Negro in America unnatural.
Malcolm X
Forget the methods or the differences in methods. As long as we agree that the thing that the Afro-American wants and needs is recognition and respect as a human being.
Malcolm X
Respect me, or put me to death.
Malcolm X
I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man - and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their differences in color.
Malcolm X
Armed with the knowledge of our past, we can with confidence charter a course for our future. Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle. We must take hold of it and forge the future with the past.
Malcolm X
