What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.
Albert Camus
Image
A writer cannot put himself today in service of those who make history he is at the service of those who suffer it.
Albert Camus
Image
Life should be lived to the point of tears
Albert Camus
