Albert Camus Quotes About Funeral

• There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.

They spread out, crisscrossed, and formed a smooth gloss on the old, worn face.
