Albert Camus
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards.
Albert Camus
Friendship is not so simple. It is hard to get and takes a long time, but when one ha it one cannot get rid of it, one has to face it.
Albert Camus
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
