But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.

Albert Camus

Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.

Albert Camus

I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically gettin killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.

Albert Camus

A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything but bad. . . . Freedom is nothing else but a chance to bet better, whereas enslavement is a certainty of the worse.

Albert Camus

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

Albert Camus
