If you have no critics you'll likely have no success. - Malcolm X

"Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds. I have always kept an open mind, a flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of the intelligent search for truth."

"An English writer telephoned me from London, asking questions. One was, ‘What’s your alma mater?’ I told him, ‘Books."

"Truth is on the side of the oppressed."

"People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book."

"You show me a capitalist, and I'll show you a bloodsucker"
