I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
Image
La ve rite , comme la lumie' re, aveugle. Le mensonge, au contraire, est un beau cre puscule qui met chaque objet en valeur. Truth, like light, blinds. A lie, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight which shows the value of each object.
Albert Camus
Image
And so I learned that familiar paths traced in the dusk of summer evenings may lead as well to prison as to innocent untroubled sleep.
Albert Camus
Image
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
