"Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself...." - Quote by Albert Camus

“Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.”

“...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.”

“An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.”

“The noblest of all studies is the study of what man is and of what life he should live.”

“There is nothing more difficult to find than oneself.”

“All the excesses, all the violence, and all the vanity of great men, come from the fact that they know not what they are: it being difficult for those who regard themselves at heart asequal with all men... For this it is necessary for one to forget himself, and to believe that he has some real excellence above them, in which consists this illusion that I am endeavoring todiscover to you.”

“The words 'bad timing' came to be ghosts haunting our every move in Birmingham. Yet people who used this argument were ignorant of the background of our planning...they did not realize that it was ridiculous to speak of timing when the clock of history showed that the Negro had already suffered one hundred years of delay.”

“You can't wait for the end of your problems for you to be present. It has to be done whereever you are - which is now”

“Let the experiment be made.”
