Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
In our well-policed society we recognize that an illness is serious from the fact that we don't dare speak of it directly.
Albert Camus
Image
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus

Why must one love rarely to love well?
Albert Camus
Image
We turn our backs on nature we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer's ink.
Albert Camus
Image
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
