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.

I think there's a suspicion in the South of people putting on airs. You see it in most successful Southern politicians, but you also see it in someone like Richard Petty, who may be a multimillionaire stock car driver, but he's also beloved because he has a nice self-deprecatory way about him.

The wise men understood that this natural world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom. That's what I mean by action.

As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not.

Genial manners are good, and power of accommodation to any circumstance, but the high prize of life, the crowning fortune of a man is to be born with a bias to some pursuit, which finds him in employment and happiness, -- whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statutes, or songs.
