A few quotes from Albert Camus "Resistance, Rebellion and Death" which seem appropriate to the times we are now in.
"Defense of Intelligence" speech at L'Amitie Francaise meeting on 15 March 1945
"The most difficult battle to be won against the enemy in the future must be fought within ourselves, with an exceptional effort that will transform our appetite for hatred into a desire for justice. Not giving in to hated, not making any concessions to violence, not allowing our passions to become blind-"
speech made at the Dominican monastery of Latour-Maubourg in 1948
"the world needs real dialogue, that falsehood is just as much the opposite of dialogue as is silence, and that the only possible dialogue is the kind between people who remain what they are and speak their minds."
