The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.
Albert Camus
Image
It is necessary to fall in love... if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.
Albert Camus
Image
Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.
Albert Camus
Image
We are not certain, we are never certain.
