Albert Camus
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
Albert Camus
The most eloquent eulogy of capitalism was made by its greatest enemy. Marx is only anti-capitalist in so far as capitalism is out of date.

Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus
