The finest clothing made is a person's own skin but of course society demands something more than this.

In a closed society where everybody's guilty the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves the only final sin is stupidity.

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor it cannot save the few who are rich.

It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.

All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

It is good for society to have this introspection.
