“(About the last quote from Camus) Camus says that the society of merchants, looking upon liberty as a “right for themselves” not a “duty toward others”, and this is the remark that I am attracted to: free will and liberty of human beings, further than being their right, is their duty. We say duty toward God…”

“The problem seemed especially important to the Scot in 1938. Never before had he so needed to summon up his strength of character and remember his traditions. No country was more badly hit by the economic changes between the wars... The shipping of men was our speciality, and for the first time probably in Scotland's history the younger generation had of necessity to look at its own country and see what could be done about it... A first duty was the articulation of Scottish problems to the Scot and the firing of his mind and heart to the need of his generation... to interpret, and where possible, dramatize the growing points in Scottish life... using the cinema to maintain the national will.”
