Not a good idea. Even those who seem good are often corrupt and hypocritical beneath the surface and oft times the most intelligent of statements can come from the most evil of men. The problem with the Hitler quotes you chose are that they can't really be construed as good, even out of context, while my Malcolm X quote can very much be applied to American idealism. A better one would have been:
"There could be no issue between the Church and the State. The Church, as such, has nothing to do with political affairs. On the other hand, the State has nothing to do with the faith or inner organization of the Church" --Adolf Hitler
The fact of the matter is that if I didn't bother to say who I was quoting in my original post, you probably wouldn't have commented at all. Considering such, how can the addendum of a name to the words change their meaning? How have the words changed? They haven't.
Anyway, how about that Danny Glover guy???
