"Men die and they are not happy...." - Quote by Albert Camus

“One always has exaggerated ideas about what one doesn't know.”

“There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.”

“I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to L'Illustration. Something desperate, you know.”

“The sudden hand of Death close up mine eye!”

“Our lives ... are but a little while, so let them run as sweetly as you can, and give no thought to grief from day to day. For time is not concerned to keep our hopes, but hurries on its business, and is gone.”

“We do not know whether it is good to live or to die. Therefore, we should not take delight in living, nor should we tremble at the thought of death. We should be equiminded towards death. This is the ideal. It may be long before we reach it, and only a few of us can attain it. Even then, we must keep it constantly in view, and the more difficult it seems of attainment, the greater should be the effort we put forth.”

“To have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation - this to to have succeeded.”

“Blessedness consists in the accomplishment of our desires, and in our having only regular desires.”

“I get the news I need on the weather report And I have nothing to do today but smile”
