ALBERT CAMUS

We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking."

"Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it."

"A single truth, if it is obvious, is enough to guide an existence."

"There is scarcely any passion without struggle."

"In reality there is no experience of death. Properly speaking, nothing has been experienced but what has been lived and made conscious."

"It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end."

"Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place."

"For conscience moves swiftly or withdraws within itself. It has to be caught on the wing, at that barely perceptible moment when it glances fleetingly at itself."

"The mind's first step is to distinguish what is true from what is false. However, as soon as thought reflects on itself, what it first discovers is a contradiction."
