Albert Camus
-
Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
-
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
-
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
-
Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
-
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
