Quote by Albert Camus

A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything but bad. . . . Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better, whereas enslavement is a certainty of the worse.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of freedom in the context of a free press. It suggests that while a free press can have both positive and negative aspects, it can only thrive and have a positive impact if it operates within a framework of freedom. Freedom is seen as an opportunity to improve and grow, while any form of oppression or limitation (such as an enslaved press) guarantees a deterioration of quality and outcomes. In essence, the quote underscores the fundamental belief that freedom is a prerequisite for the proper functioning and potential benefit of a free press.

If I should die, think only this of me:That there's some corner of a foreign fieldThat is for ever England. There shall beIn that rich earth a richer dust concealed;A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,A body of England's, breathing English air,Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.And think, this heart, all evil shed away,A pulse in the eternal mind, no lessGives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
