[Albert] Camus points out that we have a lot of things to pass through. Everything has to be accepted before it can be improved.

[Albert Camus] was not an existentialist!

There are those who will find [Albert Camus] notions about absurdity appealing, and others who will be drawn by the solar side of his work, about Algeria, the heat and so on.

Just after the war, the liberation of 1945, [Albert] Camus was well known, well loved by [Jean-Paul ] Sartre and all the intellectuals of that generation.

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.

There are indications that today the intellectuals are coming back to [Albert] Camus. History has given them reason to, with the fall of communism.

[French intellectuals] could never address themselves to the working classes. They don't know what it means, and that gives them a bad conscience about it. [Albert] Camus has a greater proximity to those in poverty.
