"We don't have the time to completely..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.”

“...we rarely confide in those who are better than we. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. Most often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don't want to improve ourselves and be bettered, for we should first have to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen. In short, we should like, at the same time, to cease being guilty and yet not to make the effort of cleansing ourselves.”

“Integrity has no need of rules.”

“The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennui s, vanish, all duties even.”

“All men are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

“You have to be happy with who you are and the choices you make. If you don't like yourself, you'll never be truly happy.”

“And dazzling memory revive.Refresh the faded tints, Recut the aged prints, And write my old adventures, with the pen Which, on the first day, drew Upon the tablets blue The dancing Pleiads, and the eternal men.”

“... I am the same personal being who in old times upon the Earth had those experiences.”

“Everything changes but change itself. Everything flows and nothing remains the same... You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters and yet others go flowing ever on.”
