The Blacks

«I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they (the whites of South Africa) have turned to loving, they will find we (the blacks) are turned to hating.»
«I couldn't quit, because of all the kids, and the blacks, and the little people pulling for me. I represent both the underdog and the overdog in our society.»
«It could never be a correct justification that, because the whites oppressed us yesterday when they had power, that the blacks must oppress them today because they have power»
«It isn't a matter of black is beautiful as much as it is white is not all that's beautiful»
«I wasn't always black... There was this freckle, and it got bigger and bigger.»
«I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.»
«Black cat or white cat: If it can catch mice, it's a good cat.»
«A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.»
«Blue eyes say, Love me or I die; black eyes say, Love me or I kill thee.»
«Black holes are where God divided by zero»
