Frantz Fanon

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
Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.
Frantz Fanon
I want the world to recognize with me the open door of every consciousness
Frantz Fanon
The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.
