"Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre...." - Quote by Albert Camus

“I was assailed by memories of a life that wasn't mine anymore, but one in which I'd found the simplest and most lasting joys.”

“Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.”

“We [Raymond and Meursault] stared at each other without blinking, and everything came to a stop there between the sea, the sand, and the sun, and the double silence of the flute and the water. It was then that I realized that you could either shoot or not shoot.”

“The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity.”

“That, however, is - mediocrity, though it be called moderation.”

“The greatest secret in the world is that you only have to be a small measurable amount better than mediocrity ...and you've got it made.”

“Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease.”

“Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.”

“The exquisite art of idleness, one of the most important things that any University can teach.”
