Ossie Davis - biography

“Any form of art is a form of power; it has impact, it can affect change - it can not only move us, it makes us move.”

“I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness.”

“College ain’t so much where you been as how you talk when you get back.”

“Struggle is strengthening.  Battling with evil gives us the power to battle evil even more.”
