Can anyone give me an authoritative source for the quote, "It is
better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." Some tell me
that the saying is attributable to the Mexican revolutionary Zapata,
but others attribute it to Albert Camus. One of our MPs used the
expression in Parliament today, and I am trying to track its origin.
Thanks !
