"The end of their passion consists of..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.”

“It should be pointed out for our own guidance in the West that the continual signing of manifestoes and protests is one of the surest ways of undermining the efficacy and dignity of the intellectual. There exists a permanent blackmail that we all know and that we must have the often solitary courage to resist.”

“Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about.”

“A year shall I endure for every day that passes until your return.”

“The creative mind plays with the object it loves.”

“There's no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.”

“I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.”

“There was a day when I liked writing letters -- it has gone. Unfortunately the passion for getting them remains.”

“Thou ever young, fresh, lov'd, and delicate wooer, whose blush doth thaw the consecrated snow”
