We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "Remembrance of things past is is just for the rich. For the..."
Remembrance of things past is is just for the rich. For the poor it only marks the faint traces on the path to death. Albert Camus
For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium. Albert Camus
Albert Camus quote: "Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death..."
Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance. Albert Camus
