"How hard it is, how bitter it..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity.”

“There are places where the mind dies so that a truth which is its very denial may be born.”

“Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure.”

“Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.”

“When young we have a vivid sense of basic values like trust and warm-heartedness, which we tend to neglect in today's competitive world as we grow up, yet from birth we all have a need for affection. The emotions we experience today have not changed much over the last few thousand years, but the interest increasing numbers of people are showing in their inner world and how their emotions work is a sign of maturity.”

“At fifteen my mind was directed to study, and at thirty I knew where to stand.”

“That which is achieved the most, still has the whole of its future yet to be achieved.”

“Plant a Seed so your Heart will Grow.”

“Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.”
