Albert Camus

The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
L'absurde est la notion essentielle et la premie' re ve? rite? . The absurd is the fundamental idea and the first truth.
Albert Camus
Wandering seemed no more than the happiness of an anxious man.
Albert Camus
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
