Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
The Fall
Freedom is too heavy to bear, especially when you’re down with a fever, or are distressed, or love nobody.
Albert Camus
God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
Albert Camus
I sometimes think of what future historians will say of us. A single sentence will suffice for modern man: he fornicated and read the papers. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.
Albert Camus
