What matters is not to know the world but to change it.

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.

To educate the masses politically is to make the totality of the nation a reality to each citizen. It is to make the history of the nation part of the personal experience of each of its citizens.

National liberation, national ...

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.

My intimate knowledge of many central African tribes has everywhere convinced me of the necessity that the Negro does not respect treaties but only brute force.ЂќЂў General Adrian Dietrich Lothar von Trotha on German South West Africa 'At the level of individuals, 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.

The colonized is elevated above his jungle status in proportion to his adoption of the mother country's cultural standards.

What I call middle-class socie...

What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.

The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.

There is a point at which methods devour themselves.

Frantz Fanon 111 quotes

I am black: I am the incarnati...

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.

No attempt must be made to encase man, for it is his destiny to be set free.

Frantz Fanon 111 quotes

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.

When we revolt it's not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe

Frantz Fanon 111 quotes

The gaze that the colonized su...

The gaze that the colonized subject casts at the colonist's sector is a look of lust, a look of envy. Dreams of possession. Every type of possession; of sitting at the colonist's table and sleeping in his bed, preferably with his wife. The colonized man is an envious man.

The Negro enslaved by his inferiority, the white man enslaved by his superiority alike behave in accordance with a neurotic orientation.

Frantz Fanon 111 quotes

[Educated blacks] Society refuses to consider them genuine Negroes. The Negro is a savage, whereas the student is civilized. 'You're us,' and if anyone thinks you are a Negro he is mistaken, because you merely look like one.

Frantz Fanon 111 quotes

When people like me, they like...

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.

Negrophobes exist. It is not h...

Negrophobes exist. It is not hatred of the Negro, however, that motivates them; they lack the courage for that, or they have lost it. Hate is not inborn; it has to be constantly cultivated, to be brought into being, in conflict with more or less recognized guilt complexes. Hate demands existence and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behavior; in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching. Each to his own side of the street.
