Continuing my Camus quotes:

"I would rather live my life as if there is a God
and die to find out there isn't, than live my life
as if there isn't and die to find out there is. "
[I DON'T really understand this first one...]

"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. "
[This fits me to a T.]

"One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves."

"The society based on production is only productive, not creative."

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the
fundamental question of philosophy."

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

I didn't quote some other statements because they no longer fit me
as a "believer" - (English translation of an Arabic term)
I
think this is enough for the French absurdist-existentialist writer.
Camus was born in Oran, Algeria. His book L'etranger (The Outsider
translated by Stuart Gilbert) is one of the most important books I have
ever read which really HIT me. The novel tackles the murder of an
ARAB! I wonder if Bush was briefed about MY life... because I read in one
website that Bush read or was holding or discussed or whatever this
work of Camus... I will discuss it later as a matter of course...
