Albert Camus
Image
You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
