I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Image
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Albert Camus

The act of love is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
