If pimps and thieves everywhere were always punished, honest people would all believe themselves always to be innocent.
Albert CamusKnowing what [Christ] knew , knowing all about mankind--ah! who would have thought that the crime is not so much to make others die, but to die oneself--confronted day and night with his innocent crime, it became too difficult to go on. It was better to get it over with, to not defend himself, to die, in order not to be the only one to have survived, and to go elsewhere, where, perhaps, he would be supported.
Albert CamusThose who prefer their principles over their happiness, they refuse to be happy outside the conditions they seem to have attached to their happiness.
Albert Camus
