More quotes by Malcolm X
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X
Nobody should teach the black man in America to turn the other cheek, unless someone is teaching the white man in America to turn the other cheek.
Malcolm X
Most people who work in prison earn money through contraband.
Malcolm X
I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.
Malcolm X
When you hear me say by any means necessary, I mean exactly that. I believe in anything that is necessary to correct unjust conditions-political, economic, social, physical, anything that is necessary.
Malcolm X
You spend so much time barking up the civil-rights tree, you don't even know there's a human-rights tree on the same floor.
Malcolm X
I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading has opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.
Malcolm X
Wyatt Walker can walk through Harlem. No one would know him.
Malcolm X
Daring to reach, to climb, to crawl, to scratch, to get back up when you've been knocked down, to push forward - ever forward - to forgive. It means sacrificing everything if necessary, to carve out a place for your own existence. It means living.
Malcolm X
The only persons who really changed history are those who changed men's thinking about themselves.
Malcolm X
The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing.
Malcolm X
22 million African-Americans - that's what we are - Africans who are in America.
Malcolm X
[Black nationalism] is not designed to make the black man reevaluate the white man--you know him already--but to make the black man re-evaluate himself. Don't change the white man's mind you can't change his mind. And that whole thing about appealing to the moral conscience of America--America's conscience is bankrupt.
Malcolm X
It's easy to become a satellite today without even being aware of it. This country can seduce God. Yes, it has that seductive power the power of the dollar.
Malcolm X
We're all in the same boat and we all are going to catch the same hell from the same man.
Malcolm X
Once I was, yes. But now I have turned my direction away from anything that's racist.
Malcolm X
Integration will not bring a man back from the grave.
Malcolm X
The whites of the younger generation, in the colleges and universities, will see the handwriting on the wall and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth.
Malcolm X
It has taken us that long to get the deaf, dumb, and blind black men in the wilderness of North America to wake up and understand who they are.
Malcolm X
Anytime you live in a society supposedly based upon law and it doesn't enforce its own laws because the color of a man's skin happens to be wrong, then I say those people are justified to resort to any means necessary to bring about justice when the government can't give them justice.
Malcolm X
