Unapologetic Quotes Dump

Albert Camus

I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?

Sincerity may be humble, but she cannot be servile.

Romances I ne'er read like those I have seen.

A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.
