Albert Camus
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
Albert Camus
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
In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.
Albert Camus
