Human rebellion ends in metaphysical revolution. It progresses from appearances to acts, from the dandy to the revolutionary.
The spirit of rebellion can only exist in a society where a theoretical equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of rebellion, therefore, has no meaning except within our own Western society.
In order to exist, man must rebel.
In every rebellion is to be found the metaphysical demand for unity, the impossibility of capturing it, and the construction of a substitute universe.
Every rebellion implies some kind of unity.
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
With rebellion, awareness is born
My parents never pushed me to ski race. It was my choice and something I really wanted to do. I would have rebelled if they had pushed me, and I wouldn't have had the same passion.
I didn't have my parents to rebel against, but I had society, and that definitely is what they taught me. Just: Trust nothing.
