Albert Camus
A living man can be enslaved and reduced to the historic condition of an object. But if he dies in refusing to be enslaved, he reaffirms the existence of another kind of human nature which refuses to be classified as an object.
Albert Camus
The end of their passion consists of loving uselessly at the moment when it is pointless.
Albert Camus
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
