Albert Camus
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Albert Camus
I am just coming out of five years of night, and this orgy of violent lights gives me for the first time the impression of a new continent. An enormous, 50-foot high Camel billboard : a GI with his mouth wide open blows enormous puffs of real smoke. So much bad taste hardly seems imaginable.
Albert Camus
