If Not Now Then When
via wordboner

“…The writer’s role is not free from difficult   duties. By definition he cannot put himself today in the service   of those who make history; he is at the service of those who   suffer it. Otherwise, he will be alone and deprived of his art.   Not all the armies of tyranny with their millions of men will   free him from his isolation, even and particularly if he falls   into step with them.
But the silence of an unknown prisoner,   abandoned to humiliations at the other end of the world, is   enough to draw the writer out of his exile, at least whenever, in   the midst of the privileges of freedom, he manages not to forget   that silence, and to transmit it in order to make it resound by   means of his art.”
— Albert Camus
