Quote by Aimé Césaire

"Negritude is the simple recognition of the fact that one is black, and the acceptance of this fact, of our destiny as black people, of our history and our culture."

"I am of no race nor of any color - the only race is humanity."

"What is Africa to me? A book one thumbs listlessly till boredom and quick satiety document already too much perusal."

"Césairism is not a crime."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
