The phrase  “You couldn’t have gotten me out of books with a wedge,” was written by Malcolm X when he's describing his experience in prison.

He wrote that he basically spent all of his time in prison by reading a book. He read books on library, during breaks , and  on his bunks. He believed that even if other people threaten to beat him with a wedge if he does not stop reading the book, he'd still choose to read.
