"There is a metaphysical honour in ending..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.”

“What can a meaning outside my condition mean to me? I can understand only in human terms. What I touch, what resists me - that I understand. And these two certainties - my appetite for the absolute and for unity and the impossibility of reducing this world to a rational and reasonable principle - I also know that I cannot reconcile them. What other truth can I admit without lying, without bringing in a hope I lack and which means nothing within the limits of my conditions?”

“In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.”

“I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shish kabobs.”

“If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be messed-up.”

“I'd hate to be a giraffe with a sore throat.”

“The virtue of art lies in detachment, in sequestering one object from the embarrassing variety. Until one thing comes out from theconnection of things, there can be enjoyment, contemplation, but no thought.”

“Music is the mirror of reality.”

“In art, the best is good enough.”
