> Even if the novel describes only nostalgia, despair, frustration, it still creates a form of salvation. To talk of despair is to conquer it. Despairing literature is a contradiction in terms.

Albert Camus on Plain Style in The Rebel 反抗者の文体 The mutual understanding and communication discovered by rebellion can survive only in the free exchange of conversation. Every ambiguity, every misunderstanding, leads to death; clear language and simple words are the only salvation from this death.[fn1] [fn1] It is worth noting that the language peculiar to totalitarian doctrines is always a scholastic or administrative language. --- Albert Camus The Rebel (p. 284) 反抗によって発見された総合理解とコミュニケーションは、自由な会話のなかでなくては永続しえない。あいまいと誤解は死を招く。明白な言語、単純なことばのみが、この死を救うことができる。[fn2] [fn2] 全体主義の教義に固有のことばが、いつもスコラ的か官庁的ことがであることに注意すべきであろう。 (p.278) --- 反抗的人間 カミュ全集 6 訳：佐藤朔 白井浩司 新潮社版 (p. 259) #AlbertCamus #TheRebel #PlainStyle #writing #Japanese #Translation #和訳 Christohper Lasch's Plain Style (https://ruhrspora.de/posts/1961906)

Just watched The Rebel with Tony Hancock, he's one of my favourite comedians of all times, a tragic end to him but this was a delightful outing for him, taking his character out of the 'Half Hour' format with some familiar faces. Same kind of storyline but nice to see him in colour and not just black and white.

> He is not only the slave against the master, but also man #AgainstTheWorldOfMasterAndSlave. Therefore, thanks to rebellion, there is something more in history than the relation between mastery and servitude. Unlimited power is not the only law. It is in the name of another value that the rebel affirms the impossibility of total freedom while he claims for himself the relative freedom necessary to recognize this impossibility.

Every day, I walk downstairs and pass a piece by Matthew Courtney, an NYC artist who sold his work in the street in SoHo. I’m fortunate to read of world events over coffee in our comfy, safe kitchen. It struck me that his message is even more apt today than when I bought it from him ten years ago. #MarthewCourtney #Camus #TheRebel

These lines from Albert Camus's The Rebel come to mind a lot:



If injustice is bad for the rebel, it is not because it contradicts an eternal idea of justice, but because it perpetuates the silent hostility that separates the oppressor from the oppressed. It kills the small part of existence that can be realized on this earth through the mutual understanding of men. In the same way, since the man who lies shuts himself off from other men, falsehood is therefore proscribed and, on a slightly lower level, murder and violence, which impose definitive silence. The mutual understanding and communication discovered by rebellion can survive only in the free exchange of conversation. Every ambiguity, every misunderstanding, leads to death; clear language and simple words are the only salvation from this death.[^1] The climax of every tragedy lies in the deafness of its heroes. Plato is right and not Moses and Nietzsche. Dialogue on the level of mankind is less costly
