![“I couldn't ever act or think on behalf of what my father [[Albert Camus]] would have said or done. He's an artist, he considers himself an artist, and so he takes on the responsibility of speaking for those who are not given the means or the opportunity.” quote by Catherine Camus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/872/catherine-camus-12238_art_i-couldn-t-ever-act-or-think-on-behalf-o_48718.jpg)

It seems to me that if you look at the style of The First Man it conforms much more to who he was as a man, it resembles him very closely.” quote by Catherine Camus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/982/catherine-camus-12238_book_we-can-t-talk-about-the-book-albert-camu_131209.jpg)
