There is a moral to it. It teaches that a man defines himself by his make-believe as well as by his sincere impulses.

Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.

Albert Camus

As he himself said, "I will prove it to you, gentlemen, and i will prove it in two ways. First in the blinding clarity of the facts, and second, in the dim light cast by the mind of his criminal soul.

He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out it was the former that had condemned me.

Go to quote


Il admirait le curieux aveuglement par quoi les hommes, si renseignés pourtant sur ce qui change en eux, imposent à leurs amis l'image qu'une fois pour toutes ils se sont faite d'eux. Pour lui, on le jugeait selon ce qu'il avait été. Comme un chien ne change pas de caractère, les hommes sont des chiens pour l'homme. Et dans la mesure même où Céleste, René et les autres l'avaient beaucoup connu, il leur devenait aussi étranger et aussi fermé qu'une planète inhabitée.

Albert Camus


Go to quote


Non, car cela est secondaire. Mais il met son pouvoir au service d'une passion plus haute et plus mortelle, il nous me-nace dans ce que nous avons de plus profond. Sans doute, ce n'est pas la première fois que, chez nous, un homme dis. po-se d'un pouvoir sans limites, mais c'est la première fois qu'il s'en sert sans limites, jusqu'à nier l'homme et le monde. Voilà ce qui m'effraye en lui et que je veux combattre. Perdre la vie est peu de chose et j'aurai ce courage quand il le faudra. Mais voir se dissiper le sens de cette vie, disparaî-tre notre raison d'exister, voilà ce qui est insupportable. On ne peut vivre sans raison.

Albert Camus
