Life can be magnificent and overwhelming — that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.
Albert Camus
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
I am a twisted person. The only way I can know my capacity for love is from my capacity for anguish. Before suffering, I don’t know.
Albert Camus, Notebooks (1951-1959)

Albert Camus
