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.

Another quote from the 1950s

As I sit looking out of a window of the building
I wish I did not have to write the instruction manual on the uses of a new metal.
I look down into the street and see people, each walking with an inner peace,
And envy them-they are so far away from me!
Not one of them has to worry about getting out this manual on schedule.
