Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus

Tout re volutionnaire finit en oppresseur ou en he re tique. Every revolutionary ends as an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
And real nobility (that of the heart) is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
Albert Camus
