The Imagination

I am a firm believer in the power of the imagination. I believe in dreams and their ability to transcend reality.

You cannot enslave a mind that knows itself. That values itself. That understands itself.

Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.

The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The Black mother within each of us — the poet — whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free.

What is sexual pleasure? It is power, freedom and liberation. It is a part of the revolution.

Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.
