To speak...means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.
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
National liberation, national renaissance, the restoration of nationhood to the people, commonwealth: whatever may be the headings used or the new formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.
Frantz Fanon
Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.
Frantz Fanon
