"The colonized man is a man of permanent revolt."

"Violence alone, perpetrated by the people, violence organized and educated by its leaders, makes it possible for the masses to understand social truths and gives the key to them."

"The colonized is a man who has been stripped of his dignity, of his pride, of his self-respect."

"The violence of the colonized, far from being a simple reflex, is inscribed in the very nature of colonial oppression."

"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."
