Albert Camus
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus
I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert Camus
The principle can be established that for a man who does not cheat what he believes to be true must determine his actions.
Albert Camus
Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I.
