Chacun exige d'e tre innocent, a' tout prix, me me si, pour cela, il faut accuser le genre humain et le ciel. Everyone insists on his or her innocence, at all costs, even if it means accusing the rest of the human race and heaven.
Albert Camus

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
