About This Quote
It is the very mark of the spirit of rebellion to crave for happiness in this life. Rebellion is something that people who rebel crave for. It is derived from the Latin word “rebello” which means “to revolt” or “to not obey.” Rebellious people want to take what they want and do what they want without paying attention to what others say and think. The word rebellion comes from the Latin “re-bellere,” which means “to do again.” Every person has a desire to do something over and over again, whether it be running away from home, stealing another person’s possessions or taking another person’s life.
