Rebellion Quotations
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert. Kahlil Gibran Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God. Benjamin Franklin A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion. George Orwell Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion. George Orwell The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion. Frederick Douglass The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. Albert Camus Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being. Albert Camus Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion. Albert Camus It doesn't take a majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few determined leaders and a sound cause. H. L. Mencken Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.
