Quoting Albert Camus

med_cat: (Holmes thoughtful)
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
**
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
**
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
**
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
**
At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.
**
How hard, how bitter it is to become a man!
**
I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day.
**
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.
**
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.
**
Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.
**
The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.

(Albert Camus)

I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day. Как верно сказано! Даже перевод автоматический не исказил смысла.

oh they are wonderful quotes. The last quote rings true as it reminds me of a family situation that is still ongoing ....

Thanks for this anyway. It made me smile !
