I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth?”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
