In the end, man is not entirely guilty — he did not start history. Nor is he wholly innocent — he continues it.
L'homme enfin n'est pas entièrement coupable — il n'a pas commencé l'histoire — ni tout à fait innocent, puisqu'il la continue.

Real generosity toward the future consists in giving all to the present.
p. 313
With rebellion, awareness is born.
When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.
