Frantz Fanon
Mastery of language affords remarkable power.
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
Violence is man re-creating himself.
Frantz Fanon
Wealth is not the fruit of labor but the result of organized protected robbery.
