Albert Camus
It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.
Albert Camus
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
Albert Camus
