“God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves. You were speaking of the Last Judgement. Allow me to laugh respectfully. I shall wait for it resolutely, for I have known what is worse, the judgement of men. For them, no extenuating circumstances; even the good intention is ascribed to crime. Have you at least heard of the spitting cell, which a nation recently thought up to prove itself the greatest on earth? A walled-up box in which the prisoner can stand without moving. The solid door that locks him in the cement shell stops at chin level. Hence only his face is visible, and every passing jailer spits copiously on it. The prisoner, wedged into his cell, cannot wipe his face, though he is allowed, it is true. to close his eyes. Well, that, mon cher, is a human invention. They didn't need God for that little masterpiece.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall

“Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall

“کلمات همیشه مالِ دیگران است. یک جور میراثی که مثل آوار روی آدم خراب می شود. چون آدم همیشه به زبانی حرف می زند که ساخته ی دیگران است. آدم در ایجاد آن هیچ دخالتی نداسته و هیچ چیز مال خودش نیست. کلمات حکم پول تقلبی را دارند که به آدم قالب کرده باشند. هیچ چیزش نیست که به خیانت آلوده نباشد

رومن گاری__”
― Romain Gary, خداحافظ گاری کوپر

“... هيچ کس هرگز کاملآ آزاد نيست. آزادی بشر درست چند ساعت بعد از تولد از او سلب می شود. از همان لحظه ای که برای ما اسمی می گذارند و ما را به خانواده ای نسبت می دهند٬ ديگر فرار غير ممکن ميشود. قادر نيستيم زنجير را پاره کنيم و آزاد باشيم. ساختمان بزرگ اداره ثبت اسناد زندان ماست. همه ما لابه لای اوراق آن کتابها له شده ايم...!”
― Alba de Céspedes, از طرف او
