There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.Simone Weil
It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clay is a name that white people gave to my slave master. Now that I am free, that I don't belong anymore to anyone, that I'm not a slave anymore, I gave back their white name, and I chose a beautiful African one.Muhammad Ali
I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick.Muhammad Ali
