Even when one sits in the prisoner's dock, it is interesting to hear talk about oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
I don’t know whether this world has a meaning that transcends it. But I know that I cannot know that meaning and that it is impossible for me just now to know it.
Albert Camus

There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus

It is easy to shield the outer body from poisoned arrows, but it is impossible to shield the mind from the poisoned darts that originate within itself. Greed, anger, foolishness and the infatuations of egoism - these four poisoned darts originate within the mind and infect it with deadly poison.
