Zitat des Tages von Huey Newton:
The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.
I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.
There will be no prison which can hold our movement down.
The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.
There's no reason for the establishment to fear me. But it has every right to fear the people collectively - I am one with the people.
My mother and my father have been married 50 years, and he's just started to understand that something's wrong with the system. He accepted the whole thing, you see. Yet this industrious kind of engagement didn't bring him the success, according to American terms, that he wanted. I was probably affected by this very much. In fact, I know I was.
The first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man.
We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism.
My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.
I do not expect the white media to create positive black male images.
Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.
No one can say, 'I have dropped out - I am no longer in the system.' When you're in prison, you're even closer to the system: you feel it more, and you might be in there for whatever reason. You don't transform the system as an absolute thing.
Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.
If you stop struggling, then you stop life.
I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.
I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.
You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can't jail the Revolution.
Any unarmed people are slaves, or are subject to slavery at any given moment.
The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.
