Amiri Baraka

Quotes

• “When I was saying, ‘White people go to hell,’ I never had trouble finding a publisher, but when I was saying, ‘Black and white, unite and fight, destroy capitalism,’ then you suddenly get to be unreasonable.”

• “A man is either free or he is not. There cannot be any apprenticeship for freedom.”
