Swine Flu Could Cause Pandemic, WHO Says

Me too. It was a couple of months ago I was thinking about Camus and looked up some quotes. Here are some of my faves.

After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.

Integrity has no need of rules.

Note, besides, that it is no more immoral to directly rob citizens than to slip indirect taxes into the price of goods that they cannot do without.

One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.

The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Thank you, Winstons Julia.

I cannot find my copy of Camus. This coming week I will order it along with those other books you mentioned.

I can hardly wait.

Did you ever read Camus’s “The Stranger?” It is too dang depressing. If anyone is suicidal, they should not read it.
