“Of course my life is ruined. But I was right in those days: everything for happiness, against the world which surrounds us with its violence and its stupidity.” Zagreus laughed then and added: “You see, Mersault, all the misery and cruelty of our civilization can be measured by this one stupid axiom: happy nations have no history.”

"So many evenings had promised him happiness that to experience this one as happiness itself made him realize how far he had come, from hope to conquest. In the innocence of his heart, Mersault accepted this green sky and this love-soaked earth with the same thrill of passion and desire as when he had killed Zagreus in the innocence of his heart."

"Mersault smiled and, leaving the restaurant, crossed the street and went upstairs to his room. The apartment was over a horse butcher’s. Leaning over his balcony, he could smell blood as he read the sign: “To Man’s Noblest Conquest.” He stretched out on his bed, smoked a cigarette, and fell asleep."
