Every ideology is contrary to human psychology. - Albert Camus

A punishment that penalizes without forestalling is indeed called revenge.

I do not have much liking for the too famous existential philosophy, and, to tell the truth, I think its conclusions false.

Believe me there is no such thing as great suffering, great regret, great memory....everything is forgotten, even a great love. That's what's sad about life, and also what's wonderful about it. There is only a way of looking at things, a way that comes to you every once in a while. That's why it's good to have had love in your life after all, to have had an unhappy passion- it gives you an alibi for the vague despairs we all suffer from.
