“Complete separation is the only solution to the black and white problem in this country!”
Denzel Washington - Malcolm X

“Nigger, negro, black, African-american, no matter how you see me, you see me different, you see me like that jury sees me, you are them. Now throw out your points of law, Jake. If you was on that jury, what would it take to convince you to set me free? That's how you save my ass. That's how you save us both.”

Samuel L. Jackson - Carl Lee Hailey

“They outrageous, them rules. Who live in this cider house? Who grindin' up those apples, pressin' that cider, cleanin' up all this mess? Who just plain live here, just breathin' in that vinegar? Someone who don't live here made those rules. Those rules ain't for us. We are supposed to make our own rules. And we do. Every single day.”

Delroy Lindo - Mr. Rose

“How can I hold that all men are created equal when here before me stands, stinking, the moral carcass of the gentleman from Ohio? Proof that some men are inferior, endowed by their maker with dim wits, impermeable to reason, with cold, pallid slime in their veins instead of hot, red blood!”
Tommy Lee Jones - Thaddeus Stevens

“It takes all kinds of people to make a world!”
Adolphe Menjou - Anthony Powell
