Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon
Violence is man re-creating himself.
Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon
When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.
Frantz Fanon
To speak...means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.
Frantz Fanon
The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.
Frantz Fanon
I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language. To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.
Frantz Fanon
Every race will have disagreements amongst themselves, but we must put aside our differences, and work together for the advancement of that race Sandra Forsythe
Frantz Fanon
Violence is a cleansing force. It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect
