"But the world itself has no reason,..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“I longed to be forgotten in order to be able to complain to myself.”

“In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.”

“The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.”

“Now that you're Secretary of War, what kind of an army do you think we ought to have?”

“I got a chain letter by fax. It's very simple. You just fax a dollar bill to everybody on the list.”

“I used to be an airline pilot. I got fired because I kept locking the keys in the plane. They caught me on an 80 foot stepladder with a coat hanger.”

“I remember reading about the astounding number of people in this country who die within three years of retiring, which proves to me that if you lose the sense that you are producing or contributing in some way, you literally lose the will to live, and that if you do have a reason to hang on, you will.”

“And O there are days in this life, worth life and worth death.”

“Piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.”
