Albert Camus Quotes

He realized now that to be afraid of this death he was staring at with animal terror meant to be afraid of life. Fear of dying justified a limitless attachment to what is alive in man.

But for the others, it was the fatal and tender gesture that erases and denies, smiling at gratitude as at rebellion.

Albert Camus
