Famous quotes containing the words uprising and/or marley:
“Even the most subjected person has moments of rage and resentment so intense that they respond, they act against. There is an inner uprising that leads to rebellion, however short- lived. It may be only momentary but it takes place. That space within oneself where resistance is possible remains.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.
None but ourselves can free our minds.”
—Bob Marley (1945–1981)
