What I know most surely about morality and the duty of man I owe to sport.

Ce que finalment je sais de plus sur la morale et les obligations des hommes, c'est au sport que je le dois, c'est au RUA que je l'ai appris

Another quote from the 1970s

I decided it is better to scream. This pitiful sound, which sometimes, goodness knows how, reaches into the remotest prison cell, is a concentrated expression of the last vestige of human dignity. It is a man's way of leaving a trace, of telling people how he lived and died. By his screams he asserts his right to live, sends a message to the outside world demanding help and calling for resistance. If nothing else is left, one must scream. Silence is the real crime against humanity.
