Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
From Albert Camus
Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
To be happy we must not be too concerned with others.
All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.
The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
