We are not so mad as to think that we shall create a world in which murder will not occur. We are fighting for a world in which murder will no longer be legal.
Albert Camus
Image
I knew that I had shattered the harmony of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I'd been happy. Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace. And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.
Albert Camus

I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
Image
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus

I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
