Albert Camus
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.
Albert Camus
I had been right I was still right I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well lived it another. I had done this and I hadn t done that. I hadn t done this thing and I had done another. And so?
Albert Camus
