“And the day when our human race has fully matured, it will not define itself as the sum of the inhabitants of the globe, but as the infinite unity of their reciprocities.”
― Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

“S'identifier à l'univers même. Tout ce qui est moindre que l'univers est soumis à la souffrance.

J'ai beau mourir, l'univers continu. Cela ne me console pas si je suis autre que l'univers. Mais si l'univers est à mon âme comme un autre corps, ma mort cesse d'avoir pour moi plus d'importance que celle d'un inconnu. De même les souffrances.”
― Simone Weil, La pesanteur et la grace (annoté-illustré): Des citations fulgurantes

“Somewhere in the night a
human being is drowning.”
― Marina Tsvetaeva, Selected Poems

“There is something in this January Siberian landscape that overpowers, oppresses, stuns. Above all, it is its enormity, its boundlessness, its oceanic limitlessness. The earth has no end here; the world has no end. Man is no created for such measureless. For him a comfortable, palpable, serviceable measure is the measure of his village, his field, street, house. At sea, the size of the ship's deck will be such a measure. Man is created for the kind of space that he can traverse at one try, with a single effort.”
― Ryszard Kapuściński, Imperium
