Albert Camus
There are people who prefer to look their fate in the eye
Albert Camus
... it is true that I do not respect [human life] more than I respect my own life. And if it is easy for me to kill, that is because it is difficult for me to die.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
