Albert Camus
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert Camus
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
His own faith, however, was not lacking in virtues since it consisted in acknowledging obscurely that he would be granted much without ever deserving anything.
Albert Camus
It is not humiliating to be unhappy. Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life.
Albert Camus
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus
