“ In May 1903, Bamba’s insistence on God as his sole master prompted the authorities to post the following “urgent” telegram: “Urgent. Marabout Ahmadou Bamba is making it known that he recognizes no other master but God, and refuses to be summoned for an interview … situation particularly serious. ”

Jean-Paul Sartre
“ This obsessing heart which does not correspond To my language, nor to my customs, And on which encroach, like a clinging-root, Borrowed feelings and the customs Of Europe, feel this suffering And this despair—equal to no other— Of ever taming with words from France This heart which came to me from Sénegal. - Haitian poet ”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, Black Orpheus
