Albert Camus Quotes

He Realized Now That To Be Afraid Of This Death He Was Staring At With Animal Terror Meant To Be Afraid Of Life. Fear Of Dying Justified A Limitless Attachment To What Is Alive In Man. And All Those Who Had Not Made The Gestures Necessary To Live Their Lives, All Those Who Feared And Exalted Impotence - They Were Afraid Of Death Because Of The Sanction It Gave To A Life In Which They Had Not Been Involved. They Had Not Lived Enough, Never Having Lived At All. And Death Was A Kind Of Gesture, Forever Withholding Water From The Traveler Vainly Seeking To Slake His Thirst. But For The Others, It Was The Fatal And Tender Gesture That Erases And Denies, Smiling At Gratitude As At Rebellion.
