several more quotes from Albert Camus "Resistance, Rebellion and Death" :
"For there is always something in us that yields to instinct, to contempt for intelligence, to the cult of efficiency. Our great virtues eventually become tiresome to us. We become ashamed of our intelligence, and sometimes we imagine some barbarous state where truth would be effortless." - First Letter to a German Friend, July 1943
"Police states ... when they oppress and exploit, they are merely doing their job, and whoever blindly entrusts them with the care of freedom has no right to be surprised when she is immediately dishonoured." Bread and Freedom (speech given at Saint-Etienne 10 May 1953)
