Quote by Albert Camus

“What a temptation, at certain moments, to turn one's back on this bleak, fleshless world! But this time is ours, and we cannot live hating ourselves...Admission of ignorance, rejection of fanaticism, the limits of the world and of man, the beloved face, and finally beauty...It lies in the struggle between creation and inquisition.”

“To Live A Single Day (The Sonnet) To live even for a single day, In the full light of oneness. To walk even for a single day, In the full might of kindness. To talk even for a single day, In the full sight of humility. To breathe even for a single day, In the full height of amity. To smile even for a single day, Without a trace of hidden deceit. To love even for a single day, As an undeterred force of uplift. Isn't that the highest sanity? Isn't that the highest humanity?”

“No doubt there have been moments when your life has taken a bit of a leap forward; and no doubt you look back upon those moments with self-assurance and pride. But was there really no third party deserving of even of modicum of credit? Some mentor, family friend, or schoolmate who gave timely advice, made an introduction, or put in a complimentary word?”

“Embryos think with each stage of their development that they have now reached the only condition that really suits them. This, they say, must certainly be their last, inasmuch as its close will be so great a shock that nothing can survive it. Every change is a shock; every shock is a pro tanto death. What we call death is only a shock great enough to destroy our power to recognize a past and a present as resembling one another.”
