Quote by Albert Camus
The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown. He must dominate in his turn.
Summary
This quote suggests that when someone who has been oppressed or enslaved seeks justice, their desire for equality and fairness can transform into a desire for superiority and power. It implies that the cycle of dominance is perpetuated, as the once-oppressed individual seeks to exert control and become the oppressor. It highlights the potential for individuals to become consumed by their thirst for power and revenge, instead of striving for genuine justice and equality for all.
