Quote by Albert Camus

There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.

There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. A

Summary

This quote suggests that true freedom lies in accepting and preparing ourselves for the inevitability of death. Once we come to terms with our mortality, all other constraints and limitations in life seem insignificant. By embracing the reality of our mortality, we are liberated from fears and attachments, giving us the courage and possibility to pursue our dreams and live life to its fullest. It implies that conquering the fear of death is essential for experiencing a profound sense of freedom and embracing the limitless potential that life has to offer.

I am here because there is no refuge,Finally, from myself,Until I confront myself in the eyesAnd hearts of others, I am running.Until I suffer them to share my secrets,I have no safety from them.Afraid to be known, I can know neither myselfNor any others; I will be alone.Where else but on this common ground,Can I find such a mirror?Here, together, I can at last appearClearly to myself,Not as the giant of my dreams,Not the dwarf of my fears,But as a person, part of a whole,With my share in its purpose.In this ground, I can take root and grow.Not alone anymore, as in death,But alive, to my self and to others.

The fact that books today are mostly a string of words makes it easier to forget the text. With the impact of the iPad and the future of the book being up for re-imagination, I wonder whether we'll rediscover the importance of making texts richer visually.

When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children; even if we love them, they show us the state of our decay.

Anyone who can be proved to be a seditious person is an outlaw before God and the emperor; and whoever is the first to put him to death does right and well. Therefore let everyone who can, smite, slay and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful, or devilish than a rebel.
