The older I get, the more I find that you can only live with beings who liberate you, who love you with an affection that is as light to bear as it is strong to feel. Life today is too hard, too bitter, too debilitating for us to suffer new bondages, new captivities from those whom we love. This is how I am your friend: I love your happiness, your freedom, your adventure, in a word - and I would like to be, for you, a companion you can be sure of, always.”

— Albert Camus, (to René Char, 1957) in "Camus-Char: Correspondence 1946-1959) (Gallimard, 2007) (via Alive on All Channels)

“Lo principal es que no se mienta a sí mismo. Quien se miente a sí mismo y cree su propia mentira, llega a no distinguir la verdad ni dentro de él ni a su alrededor, por lo que deja de respetarse a sí mismo y de respetar a los demás. Al no respetar a nadie, deja de amar, y para estar ocupado y distraerse, al carecer de amor, se entrega a las pasiones y a los goces groseros y llega en sus vicios hasta la bestialidad, y todo por las constantes mentiras a la gente y a sí mismo”
