What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.

I rebel — therefore we exist

I rebel; therefore I exist.

In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.

An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
