Mr. Albert Camus (1913-1960)
A picture taken from the internet<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On January 4, 1960, French philosopher, journalist, and novelist, Mr. Albert Camus, died in a car accident. He was only 47 years old (https:\/\/bit.ly\/3ieuOPJ<\/a>). May his memory be as eternal as some of his thoughtful quotes, which may seem timely today more than ever. This is especially true in a world lacking love, which appears to be either authoritarian or careless. Sometimes both at once… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While preparing this post, Bambi learned that the great French singer, Mr. Serge Lama, ended his career at age 79 with an album called “Aimer<\/em>” [“To Love”<\/em>]. In it, he dedicated a song to Mr. Camus for whom he paid tribute with the following heartfelt words: \u201cOh Camus, I mourn you. My hero you remain. You who died of a Dostoyevsky in the heart<\/strong><\/em>\u201c (https:\/\/bit.ly\/3VK32IG<\/a>). If you wish, you can listen to this French song following some of Camus’ quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlways go too far, because that\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the truth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don\u2019t walk in front of me; I\nmay not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what\nhappiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning\nof life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is a sum of all your choices. So, what are you doing today?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay\nan invincible summer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is necessary to fall in love\u2026 if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love \u2013 first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman\nachievement.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, everything is simple. It is people who complicate things.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn\u2019t, than live as if there isn\u2019t and to die to find out that there is”.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
