Liberty is dangerous.
More by Albert Camus
“Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.”
“Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.”
“To lose one's life is no great matter; when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.”

“Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.”
“Where everyman is participator in the government of affairs, not merely at an election one day in the year but everyday, he will let the heart be torn out of his body sooner than his power be wrested from him by a Caesar or a Bonaparte.”
“Though, when a people shall have become incapable of governing themselves and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes.”
More on Danger
“To expect ... the same service from raw and undisciplined recruits, as from veteran soldiers, is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen. Men, who are familiarized to danger, meet it without shrinking; whereas troops unused to service often apprehend danger where no danger is.”
“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”
“I'm standing on a field full of landmines doing the moonwalk hoping i blow up in time”
