Image
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
