We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking.
Albert Camus

Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
Image
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
Image
I was assailed by memories of a life that wasn't mine anymore, but one in which I'd found the simplest and most lasting joys.
Albert Camus
Image
That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.
Albert Camus
