"The colonizer's world is a world of values, a world of morality, a world of law. The colonized's world is a world of savagery, a world of immorality, a world of lawlessness."

"The black man is not a man. The black man is a man of the forest, a man of the jungle, a man of the bush, a man of the cotton plantation."

"The native is a being of no consequence."

"The settler's town is a strongly-built town, all of stone and steel. It is a brightly-lit town; the streets are paved with asphalt, and the garbage-cans swallow all the leavings, all the wet and dirty…"

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