Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert CamusThe truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.
Albert CamusOn the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.
