Albert Camus
Image
To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.
Albert Camus
Image
Old women even forget how to love their sons. The heart gets worn out, Monsieur.
Albert Camus

You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
