Albert Camus

“Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.”

“An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.”

“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”

“You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.”

“How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.”
