Albert Camus
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
Old married people look so much alike that they have the same number of hairs in their ears.
Albert Camus
how hard it must be to live only with what one knows and what one remembers, cut off from what one hopes for!

Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
