Albert Camus
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
Albert Camus
As soon as one does not kill oneself, one must keep silent about life.
Albert Camus
Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?
Albert Camus
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
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
...there was only one thing that interested her and that was getting into bed with men whenever she'd the chance. And I warned her straight. 'You'll be sorry one day, my girl, and wish you'd got me back'.
Albert Camus
