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.

More quotes by 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
There is a point at which methods devour themselves.
Frantz Fanon
I, the man of color, want only this: That the tool never possess the man. That the enslavement of man by man cease forever. That is, of one by another. That it be possible for me to discover and to love man, wherever he may be.
Frantz Fanon
The basic confrontation which seemed to be colonialism versus anti-colonialism, indeed capitalism versus socialism, is already losing its importance. 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
The Negro enslaved by his inferiority, the white man enslaved by his superiority alike behave in accordance with a neurotic orientation.
Frantz Fanon
To speak...means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.
Frantz Fanon
When I search for Man in the technique and the style of Europe, I see only a succession of negations of man, and an avalanche of murders.
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
However painful it may be for me to accept this conclusion, I am obliged to state it: for the black man there is only one destiny. And it is white.
Frantz Fanon
Violence is man re-creating himself.
Frantz Fanon
Culture has never the translucidity of custom it abhors all simplification. In its essence it is opposed to custom, for custom is always the deterioration of culture.
Frantz Fanon
Fervor is the weapon of choice for the impotent.
Frantz Fanon
The native must realize that colonialism never gives anything away for nothing.
Frantz Fanon
The living expression of the nation is the collective consciousness in motion of the entire people.
Frantz Fanon
I want the world to recognize with me the open door of every consciousness
Frantz Fanon
Get used to me, I am not getting used to anyone.
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
The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.
Frantz Fanon
For violence, like Achilles' lance, can heal the wounds it has inflicted.
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.
