I'm crafting a vision of my life that involves creativity. And Cuban society allows me to do this. I know it's harder in the U.S. where so many people are just grateful to have a job.

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

We need to be weapons of mass construction, weapons of mass love. It's not enough just to change the system. We need to change ourselves.

Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. Shaped by our oppression.

To become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.

Make dressing a question of taste and attractiveness instead of a question of morality.

I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.

If you reject God's commanding word, you will not receive God's gracious word.

What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn’t come every day.

Because I had grown up with Jane Austen novels and period dramas, I was very familiar with that period and that world.

I will find a way to you if it kills me if it kills me if it kills me (I think it might kill me).

Action is the stream, and contemplation is the spring.
