See things from a different angle

-Who is the judge?
-The judge is God.
-Why is he God?
-Because he decides who wins or loses. Not my opponent.
-Who is your opponent?
-He does not exist.
-Why does he not exist?
-Because he is a mere dissenting voice of the truth I speak!


Only the courage of the persistent pursuit of truth can speak such exciting words.

The power of language is the weakest, but also the strongest

in the face of right and wrong . When we need to look at things from another angle,

we can see clearly the essence of things and

cannot be confused by the appearance of things.

The Great Debaters quotes

  • Melvin B. Tolson: Take the meanest, most restless nigger. Strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male niggers, female niggers, and nigger infants, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a horse facing an opposite direction, set him on fire, and beat both horses until they tear him apart in front of male, female and nigger infants. Bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger males within an inch of their life. Do not kill them but put the fear of God in them, for they can be useful for future breeding. Anybody know who Willie Lynch was? Anybody? Raise your hand. No one? He was a vicious slave owner in the West Indies. The slave-masters in the colony of Virginia were having trouble controlling their slaves, so they sent for Mr. Lynch to teach them his methods. The word "lynching" came from his last name. His methods were very simple, but they were diabolical. Keep the slave physically strong but psychologically weak and dependent on the slave master. Keep the body, take the mind.

  • Henry Lowe: School's the only place you can read all day. Except prison.
