Aimé Césaire
“J’habite une blessure sacrée
j’habite des ancêtres imaginaires
j’habite un vouloir obscur
j’habite un long silence
j’habite une soif irrémédiable
j’habite un voyage de mille ans
j’habite une guerre de trois cent ans
j’habite un culte désaffecté
entre bulbe et caïeu j’habite l’espace inexploité
j’habite du basalte non une coulée
mais de la lave le mascaret
qui remonte la valleuse à toute allure
et brûle toutes les mosquées
je m’accommode de mon mieux de cet avatar
d’une version du paradis absurdement ratée
-c’est bien pire qu’un enfer-
j’habite de temps en temps une de mes plaies
chaque minute je change d’appartement
et toute paix m’effraie

tourbillon de feu
ascidie comme nulle autre pour poussières
de mondes égarés
ayant crachés volcan mes entrailles d’eau vive
je reste avec mes pains de mots et mes minerais secrets

j’habite donc une vaste pensée
mais le plus souvent je préfère me confiner
dans la plus petite de mes idées”
Aimé Césaire, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land

Fernando Pessoa
“I wander as I walk straight ahead. When it’s time, I show up at the office like everyone else. When it’s not time, I go to the river to gaze at the river, like everyone else. I’m no different. And behind all this, O sky my sky, I secretly constellate and have my infinity.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Amit Ray
“If you are driven by fear, anger or pride nature will force you to compete. If you are guided by courage, awareness, tranquility and peace nature will serve you.”
Amit Ray, Nonviolence: The Transforming Power

Fernando Pessoa
“What is there to confess that’s worthwhile or useful? What has happened to us has happened to everyone or only to us; if to everyone, then it’s no novelty, and if only to us, then it won’t be understood. If I write what I feel, it’s to reduce the fever of feeling. What I confess is unimportant,”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Paulo Freire
“But one does not liberate someone by alienating them. Authentic liberation--the process of humanization--is not another deposit to be made in a person. Liberation is a praxis: action and reflection upon the world in order to transform it. Those truly committed to the cause of liberation can accept neither the mechanistic concept of consciousness as an empty vessel to be filled, nor the use of banking [pedagogical] methods of domination (propaganda, slogans--deposits) in the name of liberation.”
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
