the scaffold does not become any more liberal

[...] there is no possible evolution in a totalitarian society. Terror does not evolve except toward a worse terror, the scaffold does not become any more liberal, the gallows are not tolerant. Nowhere in the world has there been a party or a man with absolute power who did not use it absolutely.

—p.161 Kadar Had His Day of Fear (157) by Albert Camus
