Albert Camus
Image
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus

Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Albert Camus
Image
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.
