Albert Camus

Albert Camus
You must have a love, a great love, to ensure an alibi at unjustified despairs that conquer all of us
Albert Camus
The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown.

How many crimes are permitted simply because their authors could not endure being wrong.
