"Just as a tree without root is dead, a people without history or culture also becomes a dead peopleâ€
-Malcom X (1925-1965)
"The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness
and the power of contemplation
rather than upon mere survival.†-Aristotle

"Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still"
You stole something from me Rupert Murdoch
I'd like to meet:
"In the beginning, all women had to prove that we could be equal to men in armed struggle. So we wanted to be like men - even in our appearance... I no longer think it's necessary to prove ourselves as women by imitating men. I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love, and be loved, she can be married, have children, be a mother... Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life." -Leila Khaled
Leila Khaled- Queen of Palestinian Liberation and the symbol of female power.
Dr. Cornell West - American scholar and public intellectual
