"We all have a weakness for beauty...." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents”

“At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.”

“We are not certain, we are never certain.”

“Genius lasts longer than beauty”

“Beauty is at once the ultimate principle and the highest aim of art.”

“I think that personality traits that come through when somebody is really sincere is what makes them beautiful.”

“There are three types of men in the world. One type learns from books. One type learns from observations. And one type just has to urinate on the electric fence himself.”

“... Natural affections and instincts, my dear sir, are the most beautiful of the Almighty's works, but like other beautiful works of His, they must be reared and fostered, or it is as natural that they should be wholly obscured, and that new feelings should usurp their place, as it is that the sweetest productions of the earth, left untended, should be choked with weeds and briers.”

“We are our own aptest deceiver.”
