rebel quotes

Qu'est-ce qu'un homme re¤  volte¤  ? Un homme qui dit non. What is a rebel? A man who says no.

-Camus, Albert
L'Homme re¤ v olte¤  .

No one can go on being a rebel too long without turning into an autocrat.

-Durrell, Lawrence George
  Balthazar, pt.2.

Flertallet har aldrig retten pafi   sin side. Aldrig, siger jeg! Det er en af disse samfundslÖgnere, som en fri, t½nkende mand mafi   gÖre oprÖr imod. Hvem er det, som udgÖr flertallet af beboerne i et land? Er det de kloge folk, eller er det de'   dumme? Jeg t½nker, vi fafi  r vaere enige om, at dumme mennesker er tilstede i en ganske forskr½kkelig overv½ldende majoritet rundt omkring pafi   den hele vide jord. The majority never has right on its side.Never,I say! That is one of the social lies that a free, thinking man is bound to rebel against.Who makes up the majority in any given country? Is it the wise men or the fools? I think we must agree that the fools are in a terrible overwhelming majority, all the wide world over.

-Ibsen, HenrikJohan
