"There can be no true goodness, nor..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality.”

“Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.”

“What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.”

“All the world is good and agreeable in your eyes.”

“Human good turns out to be activity of soul exhibiting excellence, and if there is more than one sort of excellence, in accordance with the best and most complete.Foroneswallowdoesnot makea summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.”

“Every man, however obscure, however far removed from the general recognition, is one of a group of men impressible for good, and impressible for evil, and it is in the nature of things that he cannot really improve himself without in some degree improving other men.”

“Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! *It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.*”

“I went away, dear Agnes, loving you. I stayed away, loving you. I returned home, loving you!”

“The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.”
