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

[Albert Camus] was not an existentialist!

[Albert Camus] started thinking through sensation. He could never think with artefacts or with cultural models because there were none. So it's true to say that his morality was extremely 'lived', made from very concrete things. It never passed by means of abstractions . It's his own experience, his way of thinking.

You end up beating your head against a wall again, it doesn't work. Not if you make an abstraction of man. That's why [Albert] Camus is more a la mode now, because he always says 'yes, but there's man. That's the first thing, because myself, I'm a man.' And that's what solidarity .

[Albert Camus] is The First Man because he is poor, which has never been much to human beings.

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