More quotes by 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
For violence, like Achilles' lance, can heal the wounds it has inflicted.

Frantz Fanon
Certain things need to be said if one is to avoid falsifying the problem.
Frantz Fanon
When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.
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
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
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
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
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
It is the white man who creates the Negro. But it is the negro who creates negritude.
Frantz Fanon
