And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.

    Albert Camus (1962). “The Plague”
  • You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

    Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.117, Vintage
