A novel is never anything but a philosophy expressed in images. And in a good novel the philosophy has disappeared into the images.
Albert CamusTo insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
Albert CamusNo one who lives in the sunlight of gratitude that things aren't worse makes a failure of his or her life.
Albert CamusBelieve me there is no such thing as great suffering, great regret, great memory....everything is forgotten, even a great love. That's what's sad about life, and also what's wonderful about it. There is only a way of looking at things, a way that comes to you every once in a while. That's why it's good to have had love in your life after all, to have had an unhappy passion- it gives you an alibi for the vague despairs we all suffer from.
Albert Camus
