“Why rebel if there is nothing permanent in oneself worth preserving? It is not for the sake of everyone in the world that the slave asserts himself when he comes to the conclusion that a command has infringed on something in him which does not belong to him alone, but which is common ground where all men–even the man who insults and oppresses him–have a natural community.”
— Albert Camus, The Rebel
