Chuck D Quotes

With black people, there are 50 Hitlers over the course of history Picture Quote #1

You should be a person inside the world with knowledge of your terrain. And if you lock yourself into the 2,000-by-3,000-square-mile, lower-48 box of the United States, you’re going to be frustrated by its limitations. You gotta think outside the box Picture Quote #1

Being positive is like going up a mountain. Being negative is like sliding down a hill. A lot of times, people want to take the easy way out, because it’s basically what they’ve understood throughout their lives Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe that everybody is out of some kind of cookie cutter, so the thing that protects me is always being level with myself, even to myself Picture Quote #1

If you go get a passport, it might encourage you to at least consider the world around you Picture Quote #1

We don’t see the people who are doing real things getting enough props. We often see politicians who are everywhere but nowhere at the same goddamn time. You know the kind of person: You see them everywhere on television but nowhere in front of your face Picture Quote #1

It’s the difference between processing fish and catching it in a boat Picture Quote #1

I’m not a firm believer of mo’ money mo’ problems - I think that’s stupid. I think it’s that problems are already there that can be exacerbated by more things you don’t understand Picture Quote #1
