Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being. – Albert Camus
The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge. – Albert Camus
It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money. – Albert Camus
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time. – Albert Camus
In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled.
