I am black: I am the incarnation of a complete fusion with the world, an intuitive understanding of the earth, an abandonment of my ego in the heart of the cosmos.

Je suis Noir, je realise une fusion totale avec le monde, un comprehension sympathique de la terre; une perte de mon moi au coeur du cosmos.

Frantz Fanon
