More quotes by Frantz Fanon
The gaze that the colonized subject casts at the colonist's sector is a look of lust, a look of envy. Dreams of possession. Every type of possession of sitting at the colonist's table and sleeping in his bed, preferably with his wife. The colonized man is an envious man.
Frantz Fanon
We believe that an individual must endeavor to assume the universalism inherent in the human condition.
Frantz Fanon
For Europe, for ourselves and for humanity, comrades, we must turn over a new leaf, we must work out new concepts, and try to set afoot a new man.
Frantz Fanon
Hate demands existence, and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behaviors in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why the Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching.

Frantz Fanon
Certain things need to be said if one is to avoid falsifying the problem.

What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be.
Frantz Fanon
I am black: I am the incarnation of a complete fusion with the world, an intuitive understanding of the earth, an abandonment of my ego in the heart of the cosmos, and no white man, no matter how intelligent he may be, can ever understand Louis Armstrong and the music of the Congo.
Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon

Frantz Fanon
Imperialism leaves behind germs of rot which we must clinically detect and remove from our land but from our minds as well.
Frantz Fanon
Fervor is the weapon of choice for the impotent.
Frantz Fanon
There is a point at which methods devour themselves.
Frantz Fanon
The misfortune of the man of color is having been enslaved. The misfortune and inhumanity of the white man are having killed man somewhere.
Frantz Fanon
The native must realize that colonialism never gives anything away for nothing.
Frantz Fanon
Zombies, believe me, are more terrifying than colonists.
Frantz Fanon
When people like me, they like me in spite of my color. When they dislike me they point out that it isn't because of my color. Either way, I am locked in to the infernal circle.
Frantz Fanon
What matters is not to know the world but to change it.
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
Frantz Fanon
Wealth is not the fruit of labor but the result of organized protected robbery.
Frantz Fanon
