Albert Camus Quotes

To lose one's life is no great matter; when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.

Albert Camus

No matter how you care to define it, I do not identify with the local group.

Christopher Hitchens
