“Colonialism. The enforced spread of the rule of reason. But who is going to spread it among the colonizers?”
“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites. ”
“Can you imagine the feeling of being an oppressed colonial being addressed respectfully by a colonizer in the mother country?”
“I believe that human brilliance manifests itself only in flashes, among rare individuals.

“And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization is simply a question of relative strength.”
“Spread your wings. Fly as far to know who you are.”
