Quotes1

  • Wrestler: Kunta Kinte, the panther has courage. So does the warthog. Which kind of courage should a man have?
  • Kunta Kinte: The best kind.
  • Wrestler: If it is for certain that you are not yet a man - and that is for certain - then it is more certain that you are not a philosopher. "The best kind" is not an answer, Kunta Kinte.
  • Kunta Kinte: Well... a warthog's courage, then.
  • Wrestler: Why?
  • Kunta Kinte: Well, a warthog never retreats, he never gives up.
  • Wrestler: And all the hunters admire that warthog's courage.
  • Kunta Kinte: That's right.
  • Wrestler: They all say what a brave animal that warthog is.
  • Kunta Kinte: That's right.
  • Wrestler: And all the hunters usually end up killing that warthog. They all usually end up eating that brave warthog.
  • Kunta Kinte: You think I should have given up today when we were wrestling?
  • Wrestler: We were not wrestling. I was wrestling. You were charging and flying and landing.
