“With rebellion, awareness is born.”

“Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.”

“The spirit of rebellion can only exist in a society where a theoretical equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of rebellion, therefore, has no meaning except within our own Western society.”

“Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.”

“Human rebellion ends in metaphysical revolution. It progresses from appearances to acts, from the dandy to the revolutionary.”

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

“The words that reverberate for us at the confines of this long adventure of rebellion are not formulas for optimism, for which we have no possible use in the extremities of our unhappiness, but words of courage and intelligence which, on the shores of the eternal seas, even have the qualities of virtue.”
