Albert Camus

What is a rebel? A man who says no – but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.

When Heathcliff, in Wuthering Heights, says that he puts his love above God and would willingly go to Hell in order to be reunited with the woman he loves, he is prompted not only by his youth and his humiliation but by the consuming experience of a whole lifetime.

Metaphysical rebellion is the means by which a man protests against his condition and against the whole of creation.

The only truly serious philisophical problem is suicide.
