"The most elementary form of rebellion, paradoxically..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“There is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom insight and life of each person who has known and loved it.”

“Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship - never.”

“And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.”

“The nonconformist and the rebel say all manner of unanswerable things against the existing republic, but discover to our sense no plan of house or state of their own.”

“Let the words be gazetted and ridiculous henceforward.”

“There's a rebel lying deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go the opposite direction. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation; I have a reverence for individuality.”

“If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”

“La dernie' re chose qu'on trouve en faisant un ouvrage, est de savoir celle qu'il faut mettre la premie' re. The last thing one discovers in composing a work iswhat to put first.”

“How thin is the crust of order over the fires of human appetite and the lust for naked power.”
