Intellectuals of [Albert] Camus' age who had previously disliked him now appreciate him. And at that point we come back to literature, and it's agreed that he was always a great writer.

The Outsider isn't [Albert] Camus, but in The Outsider there are parts of Camus. There's this impression of exile.

[Albert Camus] always held a profound commitment [engagement], a real resistance to all totalitarianism.

Of course, [Albert Camus] wasn't an existentialist, but he was a committed man. He was a man of combat. It wasn't for nothing that he directed the Resistance journal called Combat.

I think for [Albert] Camus his mother was more than just that. She's love, absolute love. That's why it's written for her, dedicated to 'you who will never be able to read this book'.

I think [Albert] Camus felt very solitary. You can see it in all his books.

I think for an artist what is most important is to touch as many hearts as possible.

[Albert Camus] was completely intransigent, and that's not at all a neutrality. It's combat, it's a man who involved himself, committed himself.

[Albert Camus] is The First Man because he is poor, which has never been much to human beings.

Where [Albert Camus] is in exile isn't especially in Paris or elsewhere, but from the intellectual world, because of his origins.

It's true that women appear very little in [Albert Camus] works. They have a very marginal place.

Beauty is beauty.

The others in the dorm thought I wanted to be a writer, because I was always alone with a book, but I had no such ambition. ”― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say.About anything.

Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die.Into the valley of DeathRode the six hundred.

Friends Make Life Bearable But I have certainty enough For I am sure of you.

We shall never have friends if we expect to find them without fault.

But I love stand-up, and it's where I came from creatively, so it's something I never want to walk away from.

The drawings are terribly good.

We are nothing. - Tomorrow we may be die. We are nothing. - You and me.

But I just went to work and imagined that I had on the most beautiful pale blue silk dress - because when you are imagining you might as well imagine something worth while.
