Albert Camus
Image
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Albert Camus
