Albert Camus
“What's true of all the world's ills is also true of the plague. It might help a few people grow. Nonetheless, when you see the suffering and the pain it brings, you'd have to be crazy, blind, or cowardly to resign yourself to the plague.”
Albert Camus, The Plague

“Silence is divinity's communion with the individual”
Soren Kierkegaard

Jean-Paul Sartre
“If I ask myself "Will the social ideal as such, ever become a reality?" I cannot tell, I only know that whatever may be in my power to make it so, I shall do; beyond that, I can count upon nothing.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism

Jean-Paul Sartre
“In life, a man commits himself, draws his own portrait and there is nothing but that portrait. no doubt this thought may seem comfortless to one who has not made a success of his life. On the other hand, it puts everyone in a position to understand that reality alone is reliable; that dreams, expectations and hopes serve to define a man only as deceptive dreams, abortive hopes, expectations unfulfilled; that is to say, they define him negatively, not positively.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism

Jean-Paul Sartre
“There can no longer be any good a priori, since there is no infinite and perfect consciousness to think it. It is nowhere written that "the good" exists, that one must be honest or must not lie, since we are now upon the plane where there are only men. Dostoevsky once wrote: "If God did not exist, everything would be permitted"' and that, for existentialism, is the starting point.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism
