Quote by Albert Camus

Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of freedom in the creation of art. It suggests that truly meaningful and powerful artistic expression can only flourish when there is freedom to explore and experiment. However, the quote also acknowledges that art thrives within certain self-imposed constraints - rules and limitations that artists willingly impose on themselves. On the other hand, when outside restrictions and limitations are forced upon art, it stifles creativity and dulls its essence. Ultimately, the quote suggests that freedom is essential for art to live and thrive.

Cats are autocrats of naked self-interest. They are both amoral and immoral, consciously breaking rules. Their evil look at such times is no human projection: the cat may be the only animal who savors the perverse or reflects upon it.

The anatta theory denies the existence of a self only when the word self is taken to refer to some thing in addition to the groups of factors making up a person. The conviction that there is a substantial self is the root-cause of suffering, for this results in the attitude that underlies and makes possible the attachment of the various processes to a self. It is ignorance that allows the attachment and thereby makes possible suffering.
