...negroes Must Concern Themselves With Every Single Means Of Struggle: Legal, Illegal, Passive, Active, Violent And Non- Violent.... They Must Harass, Debate, Petition, Boycott, Sing Hymns, Pray On Steps--and Shoot From Their Windows When The Racists Come Cruising Through Their Communities.... The Acceptance Of Our Condition Is The Only Form Of Extremism Which Discredits Us Before Our Children [ellipses In Source].

[t]here Is Only One Large Circle That We March In, Around And Around, Each Of Us With Our Own Little Picture -- In Front Of Us -- Our Own Little Mirage That We Think Is The Future.

It Isn't A Circle--it Is Simply A Long Line--as In Geometry, You Know, One That Reaches Into Infinity. And Because We Cannot See The End--we Also Cannot See How It Changes. And It Is Very Odd By Those Who See The Changes--who Dream, Who Will Not Give Up--are Called Idealists...and Those Who See Only The Circle We Call Them The "realists"!

Never Be Afraid To Sit A While And Think.

A Woman Who Is Willing To Be Herself And Pursue Her Own Potential Runs Not So Much The Risk Of Loneliness, As The Challenge Of Exposure To More Interesting Men - And People In General.
