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
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
Image
In every guilty man, there is some innocence. This makes every absolute condemnation revolting.
Albert Camus
