“They want something from me. Something more. Some word or comment. But I’m too tired. Besides, I already told them. And I already told you. Didn’t you hear me? I said I was The Greatest.”

— Muhammad Ali, Richard Durham, The Greatest: My Own Story

“[When a restaurant refused to serve him at his local hometown because of skin color.] You all know me. I was born in General Hospital, only a block away. I was raised here. I went to Central High. And now I’ve brought back an Olympic Gold Medal for all the people of Louisville. I fought for the glory of my country and you should be ashamed of what you’re doing. You serve any foreigner here, but not an American Negro citizen. You’ll have to take me to jail, because I’ll stay until I get my rights. You should be ashamed.”

— Muhammad Ali, Richard Durham, The Greatest: My Own Story
