That is love, to give away everything, to sacrifice everything, without the slightest desire to get anything in return.3
Albert Camus
Image
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
Albert Camus
Image
All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out.
Albert Camus
Image
And then came human beings humans wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to.
Albert Camus
Image
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus

One cannot be a part-time nihilist.
Albert Camus
