"... habit starts at the second crime...." - Quote by Albert Camus

“The sense of doing good , the satisfaction of being right, the joy of looking favorably upon oneself, dear sir, are powerful levers for keeping us upright and making us progress. On the other hand, if men are deprived of that feeling, they are changed into rabid dogs.”

“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”

“But - I cannot make a choice. I have my own sorrow, but I suffer with him, too; I share his pain. I understand all - that is my trouble.”

“All the daily routine of life, our dressing and undressing, the coming and going from our work or carrying through of its various operations, is utterly without mental reference to pleasure and pain, except under rarely realized conditions.”

“It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual.”

“Habit is the nursery of errors.”

“How accurately can the law fix the crime? There has to be a mechanism for very fast action. The law is like this: catch them and punish them.”

“Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.”

“Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.”
