أبو العتاهية
“أصبح القبر مضجعي ومحلي وموضعي

صرعتني الحتوف في الترب يا ذل مصرعي

أين إخواني الذين إليهم تطلعي

مت وحدي فلم يمت واحد منهم معي”
أبو العتاهية

“ولعل ما تخشاه ليس بكائن , ولعل ما ترجوه سوف يكون
ولعل ما هونت ليس بهين , ولعل ما شدّدت سوف يهون”
أبو العتاهية

Frantz Fanon
“And it is clear that in the colonial countries the peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization is simply a question of relative strength.”
Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

Edward W. Said
“Always there lurks the assumption that although the Western consumer belongs to a numerical minority, he is entitled either to own or to expend (or both) the majority of the world resources. Why? Because he, unlike the Oriental, is a true human being. No better instance exists today of what Anwar Abdel Malek calls “the hegemonism of possessing minorities” and anthropocentrism allied with Europocentrism: a white middle-class Westerner believes it his human prerogative not only to manage the nonwhite world but also to own it, just because by definition “it” is not quite as human as “we” are. There is no purer example than this of dehumanized thought.”
Edward W. Said, Orientalism

Edward W. Said
“Arabs, for example, are thought of as camel-riding, terroristic, hook-nosed, venal lechers whose undeserved wealth is an affront to real civilization. Always there lurks the assumption that although the Western consumer belongs to a numerical minority, he is entitled either to own or to expend (or both) the majority of the world resources. Why? Because he, unlike the Oriental, is a true human being.”
Edward W. Said, Orientalism
