From Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse Whoever wants to live and enjoy his life today must not be like you and me. Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

From Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse The war against death, dear Harry, is always a beautiful, noble, and wonderful, and glorious thing, and so, it follows, is the war against war. But it is always hopeless and quixotic too.
From The Fall by Camus (I know, you never saw that coming ) No excuses ever, for anyone; that is my principle at the outset. I deny the good intention, the respectable mistake, the indiscretion, the extenuating circumstance. With me there is no giving of absolution or blessing.
I think that Camus may be my sub-concious mind. Though The Fall is not as enaging as a story as The Stranger was, reading it, is like seeing m own thoughts put into words. I tell my friends that I have a dead French writer living inside of my head. From The Fall by Camus There are always reasons for mudering a man. On the contrary, it is impossible to justify his living. That's way crime always finds lawyers and innocence only rarely.
From The Fall by Camus But to be happy it is essential not to be too concerned with others. Consequently, there is no escape. Happy and judged, or absolved and wretched.
