Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.

Death, Matter, Stranger

"The Stranger". Book by Albert Camus, 1942.

Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism.

Death, Men, Long

Albert Camus (1964). “The fall, & Exile and the kingdom”, Random House Inc

Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated can be compared. For there to be an equivalency, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.

Death, Punishment, Dying

Death, Suicide, Silence

Albert Camus (1963). “Carnets: 1935-1942”

Death, Mouths, Dirt

Death, Thinking, Race

Albert Camus (2012). “The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays”, p.8, Vintage

There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.

Death, Oneself

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

Death, Believe, Men

Albert Camus (2012). “The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt”, p.291, Vintage

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

Death, Peace, Heart

Albert Camus (2012). “Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays”, p.234, Vintage

I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.

Life, Death, Believe

Albert Camus (2012). “Lyrical and Critical Essays”, p.76, Vintage

Men die and they are not happy.

Life, Death, Men

Albert Camus (2012). “Caligula and Three Other Plays”, p.8, Vintage

Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.

Death, Importance, Precise

After all, every murderer when he kills runs the risk of the most dreadful of deaths, whereas those who kill him risk nothing except promotion.

Death, Running, Risk
