Quotes by Olivier Todd  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There is vertigo in losing oneself and denying everything, in breaking forever what once defined us, and which now offers only solitude and the void, all in order to find the only platform from which destinies may always begin again. The temptation is everlasting, but should one accept or reject it? Should one bring the obsession with a work to the emptiness of a humdrum life, or on the contrary should one make one’s life worthy of it by obeying flashes of lightning? Beauty is my direst concern, along with freedom.”
― Olivier Todd, Albert Camus: A Life

“Camus had often told friends that nothing was more scandalous than the death of a child, and nothing more absurd than to die in a car accident.”

“[Camus] "The meaning if my works: so many men are deprived of mercy. How to live without mercy? One must try and do what Christianity never did: to take care of the damned.”
