“A civilization that proves incapable of solving the problems it creates is a decadent civilization. A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a stricken civilization. A civilization that uses its principles for trickery and deceit is a dying civilization.” SocietyCivilizationColonialism Book:Discourse on Colonialism Source: Discourse on Colonialism
“One cannot say that the petty bourgeois has never read anything. On the contrary, he has read everything, devoured everything. Only, his brain functions after the fashion of certain elementary types of digestive systems. It filters. And the filter lets through only what can nourish the thick skin of the bourgeois' clear conscience.” ColonialismBourgeoisBourgeoisie Book:Discourse on Colonialism Source: Discourse on Colonialism
