You taste injustice, even if it's fictional, really taste it,it has a way of doing that. Sometimes, you can never put the shoe on the other foot. We can't go back in time and know what it was like to be a black person then. Even today, when things are supposed to be so much better, not one of you can understand what it's like to be black, to live with the knowledge of what happened to your ancestry and still face injustice. But that book makes us taste it and, reading it, we know how bitter that taste is and we know we don't like it. But that bitter wakes you up, and when you wake up, you open your mind to things in this world, you make yourself think. Then you'll decide you don't like the taste of injustice, not for you and not for anyone, and you'll understand that even though all the battles can't be won, that doesn't mean you won't fight. ~ Kristen Ashley
Coloured People quotes by Kristen Ashley
Hilly raises her voice about three octaves higher when she talks to coloured people. Elizabeth smiles like she's talking to a child, although certainly not her own. I am starting to notice things. ~ Kathryn Stockett
Coloured People quotes by Kathryn Stockett
Coloured people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the book. ~ Ray Bradbury
Coloured People quotes by Ray Bradbury
The consequences of the regulation regarding the use of footpaths were rather serious for me. I always went out for a walk through President Street to an open plain. President Kruger's house was in this street – a very modest, unostentatious building, without a garden and not distinguishable from other houses in its neighbourhood. The houses of many of the millionaires in Pretoria were far more pretentious, and were surrounded by gardens. Indeed President Kruger's simplicity was proverbial. Only the presence of a police patrol before the house indicated that it belonged to some official. I nearly always went along the footpaths past this patrol without the slightest hitch or hindrance.

Now the man on duty used to be changed from time to time. Once one of these men, without giving me the slightest warning, without even asking me to leave the footpath, pushed and kicked me into the street. I was dismayed. Before I could question him as to his behaviour, Mr Coates, who happened to be passing the spot on horseback, hailed me and said:

'Gandhi, I have seen everything. I shall gladly be your witness in court if you proceed against the man. I am very sorry you have been so rudely assaulted.'

'You need not be sorry,' I said. 'What does the poor man know? All coloured people are the same to him. He no doubt treats Negroes just as he has treated me. I have made it a rule not to go to court in respect of any personal grievance. So I do not intend to proc ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Coloured People quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
It's neither Marxism nor Communism I repudiate; the use certain people have made of Marxism and Communism is what I condemn. What I want is that Marxism and Communism be harnessed into the service of coloured peoples, and not coloured people into the service of Marxism and Communism. That the doctrine and the movement be tailored to fit men, not men to fit the movement. And - of course - that goes for others besides Communists. ~ Aime Cesaire
Coloured People quotes by Aime Cesaire
During my campaign, I had come across a small number of (mostly) young men, who had strongly racist views. They told me they would only vote for a party that was willing to get rid of black and coloured people from this country. What struck me as strange is that they weren't bothered about the thousands of white Europeans arriving from Central and Eastern Europe. ~ Andrea Leadsom
Coloured People quotes by Andrea Leadsom
The blacks or coloured people are treated more cruel by the white Christans of America than devils themselves ever treated a set of men, women, and children on this earth.
- David Walker 1829 ~ David L. Walker
Coloured People quotes by David L. Walker
May the light shines on the people siting in darkness. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Coloured People quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
When I was little, people often misread the Kanji in my name as Mon-De... So the boys flipped it around and called me De-Mon, as in The Devil. Demons plague humanity, but I wasn't doing anything wrong. Ever since, I've been uncomfortable with how people cheerfully unite against perceived enemies". ~ Inio Asano
Coloured People quotes by Inio Asano
Each of the bracelets I wear is from a long trip I've taken. One is from Nicaragua. One is from Nepal. One is from Guatemala. One is from Laos. They don't come off. I walk into a lot of very high-level boardrooms now, and I present to distinguished conferences, but these bracelets remind me of the places I've been and the people I've met. ~ Adam Braun
Coloured People quotes by Adam Braun
Developing a compiler was a logical move; but in matters like this, you don't run against logic - you run against people who can't change their minds. ~ Grace Hopper
Coloured People quotes by Grace Hopper
A person who knows nothing about literature may be an ignoramus, but many people don't mind being that. ~ Northrop Frye
Coloured People quotes by Northrop Frye
Human nature has a much greater genius for sameness than for originality. ~ James Russell Lowell
Coloured People quotes by James Russell Lowell
I'm better at accepting the people who don't have nice things to say about me anonymously, but until you've experienced it, you don't understand how much it can affect you and mess with your mind. ~ Steve Grand
Coloured People quotes by Steve Grand
It's sad, y'know, what money does to people. ~ Ozzy Osbourne
Coloured People quotes by Ozzy Osbourne
Stand in a way that you are always empowering people to join in, because the only way to be truly successful is not to succeed as an individual, but to succeed as a part of a community, of a country. ~ Cory Booker
Coloured People quotes by Cory Booker
To have people to the White House and worry about the price of things is laughable. ~ Letitia Baldrige
Coloured People quotes by Letitia Baldrige
I don't think anyone knows why people like [Twilight]. I don't think even the fans know why they connect with it the way they do. It's a visceral thing. ~ Robert Pattinson
Coloured People quotes by Robert Pattinson
The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people. ~ Paulo Freire
Coloured People quotes by Paulo Freire
If you give people unlimited time and money, they'll do things the same old way. But if they have to achieve the goal in a brief time, they'll either give up or try something new. ~ Peter Diamandis
Coloured People quotes by Peter Diamandis
For many people, the only reason to do anything is that it's best for them individually. And I think that's why planners have to be more realistic about devising policies so the stakeholders will say, "I see what you mean - that'll help me." I think expecting people to do the right thing for the right reason leads to a lot of failure in public policy. ~ Donald Shoup
Coloured People quotes by Donald Shoup
She had to possess the courage to enter, through language, states which most people deny or veil with silence. ~ Adrienne Rich
Coloured People quotes by Adrienne Rich
An insecure person is comfortable in the presence of self-doubt and uncomfortable in the presence of authenticity. ~ Kristy Ferretti
Coloured People quotes by Kristy Ferretti
Don't you like surprises?' No, Frances didn't like surprises. She hated the thought of people plotting and planning on her behalf. She loathed the burden of being delighted once the surprise was disclosed. ~ Sarah Waters
Coloured People quotes by Sarah Waters
It is no coincidence that precisely when things started going downhill with the gods, politics gained its bliss-making character. There would be no reason for objecting to this, since the gods, too were not exactly fair. But at least people saw temples instead of termite architecture. Bliss is drawing closer; it is no longer in the afterlife, it will come, though not momentarily, sooner or later in the here and now - in time.
The anarch thinks more primitively; he refuses to give up any of his happiness. "Make thyself happy" is his basic law. It his response to the "Know thyself" at the temple of Apollo in Delphi. These two maxims complement each other; we must know our happiness and our measure. ~ Ernst Junger
Coloured People quotes by Ernst Junger
It is often asked why the greatest performers are so timid in private. Confident people get attention naturally. Shy people must do something extraordinary or outrageous to have similar recognition. ~ Stewart Stafford
Coloured People quotes by Stewart Stafford
I have great respect for people who are in the front lines and the trenches of trying to enact social change. I am far lazier than that. ~ Jon Stewart
Coloured People quotes by Jon Stewart
This boy, hell-bent on fighting rather than finding a family. The Lightwoods guarding against a vampire, when they could have extended some trust. This vampire, holding every friend at bay. All of them had their wounds, but Brother Zachariah could not help resenting them, for even the privilege of feeling hurt.

All these people were struggling not to feel, trying to freeze their hearts inside their chests until the cold fractured and broke them. While Jem would have given every cold tomorrow he had for one more day with a warm heart, to love them as he once had. ~ Cassandra Clare
Coloured People quotes by Cassandra Clare
Everyone, Jasmine, everyone that's an athlete - that's successful - has had to give up a lot. Some of us more than others. You're not the first person, and you're not the last person that sees that and feels bad about it," he started to say, his voice steady and even. "You don't get to become good at anything without sacrificing something to make time."

I pressed my lips together and closed my eyes and tried again. "Successful people, Ivan. It's worth it if you're successful, not if you're not. ~ Mariana Zapata
Coloured People quotes by Mariana Zapata
Actors, you have to wait for people to give you work, or you have to make your own stuff. But standup, I could just say, 'I want to do standup in 30 minutes,' and I can go do standup. Or I could just say, 'I want to do standup in a few weeks in this city.' ~ Hannibal Buress
Coloured People quotes by Hannibal Buress
I know the evil that exists. I know the terrible things people do to each other. I've lived it. I've survived it. But just because I've seen the palette of dark colors doesn't mean I have to paint the rest of my world that way. I can choose the bright colors instead. I can see them, paint them, draw them, surround myself with them like a loud, glorious song drowning out all the darkness in the world. ~ Rachel Morgan
Coloured People quotes by Rachel Morgan
Some people as a result of adversity are sadder, wiser, kinder, more human. Most of us are better, though, when things go better. Knowing when to keep your mouth shut is invariably more important than opening it at the right time. Always listen to a man when he describes the faults of others. Often times, most times, he's describing his own, revealing himself. ~ Malcolm Forbes
Coloured People quotes by Malcolm Forbes
In my rather brief medical practice,' said David modestly, 'I found that people spend their whole lives imagining they are about to die. Their only consolation is that one day they're right. ~ Edward St. Aubyn
Coloured People quotes by Edward St. Aubyn
Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing ... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world. ~ Jimmy Carter
Coloured People quotes by Jimmy Carter
There are times ... when we are in the midst of life-moments of confrontation with birth or death, or moments of beauty when nature or love is fully revealed, or moments of terrible loneliness-times when a holy and awesome awareness comes upon us. It may come as deep inner stillness or as a rush of overflowing emotion. It may seem to come from beyond us, without any provocation, or from within us, evoked by music or by a sleeping child. If we open our hearts at such moments, creation reveals itself to us in all it's unity and fullness. And when we return from such a moment of awareness, our hearts long to find some way to capture it in words forever, so that we can remain faithful to it's higher truth.
... When my people search for a name to give to the truth we feel at those moments, we call it God, and when we capture that understanding in timeless poetry, we call it praying. ~ Mary Doria Russell
Coloured People quotes by Mary Doria Russell
Many guilty consciences have been created by the slave trade. Europeans know that they carried on the slave trade, and Africans are aware that the trade would have been impossible if certain Africans did not cooperate with slave ships. To ease their guilty consciences, Europeans try to throw the major responsibility for the slave trade on to the Africans. One major author on the slave trade (appropriately titled Sins of Our Fathers) explained how many white people urged him to state that the trade was the responsibility of African chiefs, and that Europeans merely turned up to buy captives- as though without European demand there would have been captives sitting on the beach by the millions! Issues such as those are not the principal concern of this study, but they can be correctly approached only after understanding that Europe became the center of a world-wide system and that it was European capitalism which set slavery and the Atlantic slave trade in motion. Pg. 82 ~ Walter Rodney
Coloured People quotes by Walter Rodney
Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada. ~ Jerome Corsi
Coloured People quotes by Jerome Corsi
I've been polite and I've always shown up. Somebody asked me if I had any advice for young people entering the business. I said: Yeah, show up. ~ Tom T. Hall
Coloured People quotes by Tom T. Hall
We all live our lives blindly believing in the people who make the decisions. Believing in science. Because the world is inscrutable and all information is hazy. We accept the existence of a round globe, of an atom's nucleus that sticks together like drops, of a shrinking universe
and the necessity of interfering with genetic material. Not because we know these things are true, but because we believe the people who tell us so. we are all proselytes of science. And, in contrast to the followers of other religions, we can no longer bridge the gap between ourselves and the priests. Problems arise when we stumble on an outright lie. And it affects our own lives ... that of a child who for the first time catches his parents in a lie he had always suspected. ~ Peter Hoeg
Coloured People quotes by Peter Hoeg
President Obama is the best-known politician to be exploring the possibilities of new technologies to converse with the people. Others must follow his lead and innovate. It is inevitable. ~ Eduardo Paes
Coloured People quotes by Eduardo Paes
Sometimes, a scene goes on too long and, with this being a suspense story and murder mystery that you're trying to discover through her heightened paranoia, you don't want scenes that take you on a tangent. Sometimes, you love those scenes, but you know that it's better not to be in the overall film. So, I'm not sad that they're not in the main movie, but I do think it's fun for people to get to watch them, if they want to. ~ Catherine Hardwicke
Coloured People quotes by Catherine Hardwicke
A. T. Stewart started life with a dollar and fifty cents. This merchant prince began by calling at the doors of houses in order to sell needles, thread and buttons. He soon found the people did not want them, and his small stock was thrown back on his hands. Then he said wisely, "I'll not buy any more of these goods, but I'll go and ask people what they do want." Thereafter he studied the needs and desires of people, found out just what they most wanted, endeavored to meet those wants, and became the greatest business man of his time. ~ Grenville Kleiser
Coloured People quotes by Grenville Kleiser
People aren't truly evolving, they're just mastering new and cyber-sanctioned ways to get what they want. ~ Jessa Callaver
Coloured People quotes by Jessa Callaver
The president hasn't come after me yet, but we've had other people come after me! ~ Jonathan Krohn
Coloured People quotes by Jonathan Krohn
I don't make people smoke pot or meth, snort coke, put pills or tabs in their mouths or shoot themselves up with heroin. I just transport the stuff. ~ S.A. Tawks
Coloured People quotes by S.A. Tawks
I realize that humor isn't for everyone. It's only for people who want to have fun, enjoy life, and feel alive. ~ Anne Wilson Schaef
Coloured People quotes by Anne Wilson Schaef
The world of "magick" is, nine times out of ten, a world where people can hide their deep-set insecurity and personal damage behind illusion, constructed identities and claims to privileged knowledge, power or spiritual status. A gaudy carnival magic show, conducted with props that have long since begun to disintegrate with age, that seems to function only to distract people from the real magic that is occurring all around them, in every facet of their lives, every day of their lives. While the rituals and magical techniques of the Temple seem overly simplistic in comparison with the loftier Qabalahs, tables of correspondences and secret formulae of "high" magick, they have one thing which high magick quite often forgets: a concrete function. ~ Jason Louv
Coloured People quotes by Jason Louv
I once attended a meeting of historians at which the disciples of Kuhn were presenting an extreme and exaggerated version of his views. Kuhn interrupted them by shouting from the back of the hall with overwhelming volume, "One thing you people need to understand: I am not a Kuhnian. ~ Freeman Dyson
Coloured People quotes by Freeman Dyson
There is less chance of people taking to violence if they are able to let out steam. Generally, only people who keep boiling inside take to violence. ~ B. Raman
Coloured People quotes by B. Raman
We agree that there is something that happens inside of a person, a people, a community when you think you will not love, that the people around you will not live. We talk about how you develop an attitude, on that dismisses hope, that discards dreams. ~ Patrisse Khan-Cullors
Coloured People quotes by Patrisse Khan-Cullors
When I speak in Christian terms or Buddhist terms I'm simply selecting for the moment a dialect. Christian words for me represent the comforting vocabulary of the place I came from hometown voices saying more than the language itself can convey about how welcome and safe I am what the expectations are and where to find food. Buddhist words come from another dialect from the people over the mountain. I've become pretty fluent in Buddhist it helps me to see my home country differently but it will never be speech I can feel completely at home in. ~ Mary Rose O'Reilley
Coloured People quotes by Mary Rose O'Reilley
I think that more diversity is a good thing, and fresh points of view articulated by people who are committed to excellence in journalism is a beneficial change in the American media landscape. ~ Al Gore
