That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.
Albert CamusThe world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
Albert CamusYou make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.
Albert CamusThe best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
