More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure. – Albert Camus

Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them. – Albert Camus
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely. – Albert Camus
