Australasian Fruit Quotes & Sayings

The colonialist's existence is so closely aligned with that of the colonized that he will never be able to overcome the argument which states that misfortune is good for something. With all his power he must disown the colonized while their existence is indispensable to his own.

At the same time his privileges arise just as much from his glory as from degrading the colonized. — Albert Memmi
