“Man may authorize himself to denounce the total injustice of the world, but he cannot affirm its total ugliness. There is a transcendence we experience –every beautiful thing is a promise of it– that leads us to prefer this limited and incomplete world to any other. Art leads us to the origin of the revolt against the world, to the extent that it attempts to stamp its form on values in the perpetual process of becoming”
p. 210 Albert Camus, The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt
the quote I mentioned in my last post. Deserved its own spot.
