Aimé Césaire Frasi e Citazioni

“Eia per il Kailcédrat reale! | Eia per coloro che non hanno mai nulla inventato | per coloro che non hanno mai nulla esplorato | per coloro che non hanno mai nulla domato || ma essi s'abbandonano, conquisi, all'essenza d'ogni cosa | ignoranti delle superfici ma conquisi dal movimento d'ogni cosa | incuranti di domare, ma giostranti il gioco del mondo || veramente i figli primogeniti del mondo | porosi a tutti i soffi del mondo | aia fraterna di tutti i soffi del mondo | letto senza drenaggio di tutte le acque del mondo | scintilla del fuoco sacro del mondo | carne della carne del mondo palpitante del moto stesso del mondo! || Tiepido mattino di virtù ancestrali || Sangue! Sangue! tutto il nostro sangue intenerito dal cuore maschio del sole || coloro che conoscono la femminilità della luna dal corpo d'olio | l'esaltazione riconciliata dell'antilope e della stella | coloro la cui sopravvivenza cammina nella germinazione dell'erba! || Eia perfetto cerchio del mondo e chiusa concordanza! (da Diario d'un ritorno al paese natio”

Aimé Césaire: Frasi in inglese

“Beware, my body and my soul, beware above all of crossing your arms and assuming the sterile attitude of the spectator, for life is not a spectacle, a sea of griefs is not a proscenium, and a man who wails is not a dancing bear.”

Aimé Césaire

Origine: Notebook of a Return to the Native Land

“And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific reverse shock: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers around the racks invent, refine, discuss.People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind — it’s Nazism, it will pass!” And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it.”

Aimé Césaire Une Tempête

Caliban in Une Tempête (1969)
Une Tempête (1969)

“I believe I have said enough to make it clear that it is neither Marxism nor communism that I am renouncing, and that it is the usage some have made of Marxism and communism that I condemn. That what I want is that Marxism and communism be placed in the service of black peoples, and not black peoples in the service of Marxism and communism.”

Origine: Notebook of a Return to the Native Land

“First we must study how colonization works to decivilize the colonizer, to brutalize him in the true sense of the word, to degrade him, to awaken him to buried instincts, to covetousness, violence, race hatred, and moral relativism; and we must show that each time a head is cut off or an eye put out in Vietnam and in France they accept the fact, each time a little girl is raped and in France they accept the fact, each time a Madagascan is tortured and in France they accept the fact, civilization acquires another dead weight, a universal regression takes place, a gangrene sets in, a center of infection begins to spread; and that at the end of all these treaties that have been violated, all these lies that have been propagated, all these punitive expeditions that have been tolerated, all these prisoners who have been tied up and interrogated, all these patriots who have been tortured, at the end of all the racial pride that has been encouraged, all the boastfulness that has been displayed, a poison has been instilled into the veins of Europe and, slowly but surely, the continent proceeds toward savagery.”

“With the exception of Yugoslavia, in numerous European countries—in the name of socialism—usurping bureaucracies that are cut off from the people (bureaucracies from which it is now proven that nothing can be expected) have achieved the pitiable wonder of transforming into a nightmare what humanity has for so long cherished as a dream: socialism.”

Letter to Maurice Thorez resigning from the French Communist Party, October 24, 1956

“The details supplied by Khrushchev on Stalin’s methods … lead us to believe in the existence in these countries of a veritable state capitalism, exploiting the working class in a manner not very different from the way the working class is used in capitalist countries.”
