Always remember:
“Colonization ensured that the people in power and their viewpoints are understood to be the true knowledge, automatically rendering the African way of knowing false.”
“To know means to record in one’s memory, but to understand means to blend with the thing and to assimilate it oneself.”
“What reveals itself to me ceases to be mysterious—for me alone: if I unveil it to anyone else, he hears mere words which betray the living sense: Profanation, but never revelation.”
“The highest thought you could have about a situation or individual is to see something other than how the situation appears in the physical, but its true spiritual essence to not give into the illusion that your physical eye perceives.”
“Blacks are not only created by whites, we create whites. Whites cannot be what they are unless we are what we are. Consequently, if we transform ourselves they are transformed automatically, they cannot help it.”
“In a word, until we break the monopoly the oppressor has on our minds, liberation is not only impossible, it’s unthinkable.”
“Environment is everything; heredity is nothing.”
