Mastery of language affords remarkable power.
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

Frantz Fanon
To speak...means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.
Frantz Fanon
Wealth is not the fruit of labor but the result of organized protected robbery.
Frantz Fanon
Violence is man re-creating himself.
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
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
Get used to me, I am not getting used to anyone.
