Albert Camus écrivait en 1953 dans ses Carnets: "Je demande une seule chose, et je la demande humbl…

"Sorti de la bibliothèque, il serre sous son bras les trésors empruntés. La lumière des réverbères permet de commencer la lecture dans la rue. La psyché du futur philosophe se nourrit de ce monde inédit, méconnu, inconnu. Camus découvre le formidable pouvoir des mots, la magie de la lecture, l'immense puissance des livres. Rentré chez lui, il pose le volume sur la toile cirée de la table de la cuisine, le place sous le rond de lumière de la lampe à pétrole, l'ouvre et le lit. Le monde autour de lui disparaît; il entre de plain-pied dans un univers qui le sauve. Le livre ramasse le monde des antimondes."

-Michel Onfray, L'ordre libertaire: la vie philosophique d'Albert Camus

"In una sua Défence à l'homme révolté , Camus, che poteva contare i suoi sostenitori sulle dita di una mano, sviluppa da solo la propria difesa. A differenza di quanto la stampa comunista, assieme a Sartre e ai sartriani, gli ha rimproverato con estrema rabbia, non ha voluto criticare la rivoluzione e il socialismo, ma il nichilismo storico che porta a giustificare il crimine legalizzato in nome di un ideale rivoluzionario, ideale sfortunatamente deviato. Camus non è un controrivoluzionario, ma un rivoluzionario contro; contro i campi, contro il filo spinato, contro la formula bolscevica del marxismo, contro l'uso che Lenin fa di Marx, contro il totalitarismo marxista-leninista."

-Michel Onfray, L'ordre libertaire: la vie philosophique d'Albert Camus

"Le battaglie intorno all' Uomo in rivolta riattivano quella che era stata la posta in gioco durante la Prima Internazionale, in cui, fin dal Settembre 1866 a Ginevra, si erano trovati opposti da una parte Marx e dall'altra Bakunin e Proudhon, vale a dire due forme di socialismo: la formula autoritaria dell'intellettuale tedesco e l'opzione libertaria dell'orco russo e dell'anarchico francese. Marx non si è tirato indietro di fronte a nulla pur di raggiungere il proprio scopo, e cioè l'egemonia del movimento operaio internazionale: intrighi, colpi bassi, disinformazione, calunnie, maldicenze, insinuazioni sulle persona di Bakunin. Una tecnica che ricorda quella della coppia Jeanson-Sartre contro Camus."
