The Rebel

[Anonymous 7]

“The only excuse for god is that he does not exist” – Stendahl

“Socialism is only a degenerate form of christianity” – Nietzche

“Despair, like Absurdism prefers to consider everything in general and nothing in particular” – Albert Camus

“Resentment is always resentment against oneself” – Albert Camus

“Rebellion is the common ground on which every man bases his first values. I rebel – therfore we exist. Albert Camus

“When man submits God to moral judgement, he kills Him in his own heart” – Albert Camus

“The rebel defies more than he denies” – Albert Camus

He goes on to say that rebels wish to become gods in the latter stages but must abolish their beliefs of rebellion before hand.

“The Rebel” by Albert Camus. I’m about 70 pages in and it’s a hard read but quite enjoyable. He follows the philosophy of absurdism, the belief that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus thinks that we should follow the belief of absurdism while searching for the purpose of human existence.

His name is pronounced Cam-moo, if you ever quote him out loud.

“In the roar of an engine, he lost everything, and became a shell of a man. A burnt-out, desolate man. A man haunted by the demons of his past. A man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again.”

The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man… It is more powerful than external circumstances.
