"Between history and the eternal I have..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“How many crimes are permitted simply because their authors could not endure being wrong.”

“The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.”

“... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.”

“It seems as if an age of genius must be succeeded by an age of endeavour; riot and extravagance by cleanliness and hard work.”

“I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.”

“Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seeds of rapacious licence and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.”

“When two people meet, as long as there is any form of rapport maintained, the person with the most certainty will eventually influence ther other person.”

“The public, with its mob yearning to be instructed, edified and pulled by the nose, demands certainties; it must be told definitely and a bit raucously that this is true and that is false. But there are no certainties.”

“Cherish those who seek the truth but beware of those who find it.”
