“Τώρα στο τζάμι ένα καράβι εσκάρωσα
κι ένα του Μαγκρ στιχάκι έχω σκαλίσει:
"Τι θλίψη στα ταξίδια κρύβεται άπειρη!"
Κι εγώ για ένα ταξίδι έχω κινήσει.”
― Νίκος Καββαδίας, Μαραμπού

“Whoever controls the media, the
images, controls the culture.”

“The social science fear the radical impulse in literary studies, and over the decades, we in the humanities have trivialized the social sciences into their rational expectation straitjackets, not recognizing that, whatever the state of the social sciences in our own institution, strong tendencies toward acknowledging the silent but central role of the humanities in the area studies paradigm are now around.”
― Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Death of a Discipline

“The colonial world is a Manichean world. It is not enough for the settler to delimit physically, that is to say with the help of the army and the police force, the place of the native. As if to show the totalitarian character of colonial exploitation the settler paints the native as a sort of quintessence of evil. Native society is not simply described as a society lacking in values. It is not enough for the colonist to affirm that those values have disappeared from, or still better never existed in, the colonial world. The native is declared insensible to ethics; he represents not only the absence of values, but also the negation of values. He is, let us dare to admit, the enemy of values, and in this sense he is the absolute evil. He is the corrosive element, destroying all that comes near him; he is the deforming element, disfiguring all that has to do with beauty or morality; he is the depository of maleficent powers, the unconscious and irretrievable instrument of blind forces.”
― Franz Fanon
