"The naked truth of decolonization is always a violent phenomenon."

"The colonized man finds his freedom in and through violence."

"Imperialism leaves behind it, here and there, little clusters of Europeans who, living in an unreal way, begin to feel the need of a fictive superstructure which conceals their alienation."

"The colonized discovers that his life, his breathing, the beating of his heart are the same as those of the colonist. [...] Practically, I don't give a damn."

"The colonist is an exhibitionist."
