Note, besides, that it is no more immoral to directly rob citizens than to slip indirect taxes into the price of goods that they cannot do without.
Albert Camus
Image
People believe a man is in distress because his loved one dies in one day. But his real pain is less futile: it is that he finds out that sadness too does not last. Even pain has no meaning.
Albert Camus
Image
... habit starts at the second crime. At the first one, something is ending.
Albert Camus
Image
Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction, therefore it destroys freedom.
Albert Camus
Image
Do not be surprised. I do not like writers and I cannot stand their lies. They speak so as not to listen to themselves speak. If they did listen, they would know that they are nothing and then they would no longer be able to speak.
Albert Camus
Image
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
