Albert Camus

I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous; then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.

To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.

We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.

A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless.

There's nothing humane about the flesh of animals who have had one or two or even three improvements made in their singularly rotten lives on today's factory farms.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
