Quote of the Week, Albert Camus
Albert Camus was a Nobel Prize Winner for Literature
Albert Camus was born in Mondovi, Algeria in 1913 and died in an automobile crash in France at the young age of 42 in 1960. He also was the next to the youngest person to win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1957. (Kipling was the youngest.) This unconventional man was a member of the existentialist movement. He was part of the French resistance in World War II and lived in Paris where he was also an actor, a teacher, a playwright and a journalist.
I think this quote is so true. It makes me wonder what people think are normal and while other question the normalcy of a thing. Does it mean running with the pack? Or being an individual that is out of step with the world? Does it mean fitting in? Cannibalism is not acceptable behavior in our world but it was in Borneo for years. Just what is normal????
"Some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."
by Albert Camus
