The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.[Le seul moyen d’affronter un monde sans liberté est de devenir si absolument libre qu’on fasse de sa propre existence un acte de révolte.]
Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a ‘universal’ without patriotism, without home who has found his people everywhere.
A dirty joke is not, of course, a serious attack upon morality, but it is a sort of mental rebellion.
