"Don't walk behind me; I may not..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called "the act of love," or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.”

“To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.”

“On my way out I was even going to shake his hand, but I remembered just in time that I'd killed a man.”

“I think if I have established anything in my book, it's that a key element of being my friend is being comfortable with my forced fun.”

“Who then will dare to say I'm weak or timid? No, they'll say I'm loyal as a friend, ruthless as a foe, so much like a hero destined for glory.”

“The amity that wisdom knits not, folly may easily untie.”

“That a peasant may become king does not render the kingdom democratic.”

“[T]he outcry against killing women, if you accept killing at all, is sheer sentimentality.:; Why is it worse to kill a woman than a man?”

“As a nation we began by declaring that all me are created equal. We now practically read it, all men are created equal except Negroes.”
