[Albert Camus] was viewed by many as an austere moralist, but it was on the football pitch and in the theatre that he learnt his 'morality'. It's something sensed, it won't pass uniquely through thought. It couldn't possibly.

I think [Albert Camus] wanted to write something to explain who he was, and how he was different from the age that had been conferred upon him.

I think [Albert] Camus felt very solitary. You can see it in all his books.

[Albert Camus] always held a profound commitment [engagement], a real resistance to all totalitarianism.

The First Man is completely autobiographical. The mother [Albert Camus] describes is the woman I knew, and she was exactly as he describes her. And this teacher really existed.

It's true that women appear very little in [Albert Camus] works. They have a very marginal place.

[Albert] Camus writes his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in thanks to his teacher.
