"Beginning to think is beginning to be..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Healthy people have a natural skill of avoiding feverish eyes.”

“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

“I [who] am perpetually making notes in the margin of my mind for some final statement.”

“In modern European thought a tragedy is occurring in that the original bonds uniting the affirmative attitude towards the world with ethics are, by a slow but irresistible process, loosening and finally parting. Out of my life and Thought.”

“There are men who can think no deeper than a fact.”

“Is man no more than this? Consider him well. Thou ow'st the worm no silk, the beast no hide, the sheep no wool, the cat no perfume. Here's three on's are sophisticated. Thou art the thing itself; unaccommodated man is no more than such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art.”

“Look at everything that exists, and observe that it is already in dissolution and in change, and as it were putrefaction or dispersion, or that everything is so constituted by nature as to die.”

“Everything is here for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, "I have a purpose," and the other goods as well.”
