Albert Camus, The Rebel, A. Bower, trans. (1956), p. 17.
“
The rebel ... does not merely claim some good that he does not possess or of which he was deprived. His aim is to claim recognition for something which he has and which has already been recognized by him, in almost every case, as more important than anything of which he could be envious.

What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The rebel ... does not merely claim some good that he does not possess or of which he was deprived. His aim is to claim recognition for something which he has and which has already been recognized by him, in almost every case, as more important than anything of which he could be envious." in the context of "Albert Camus, The Rebel, A. Bower, trans. (1956), p. 17." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
