I was not gifted with eloquent speech, so I'll just let others do it for me:
"Extraordinary men have a right to commit any crime and to transgress the law in any way, just because they are extraordinary."
"Legislators and leaders, such as Lycurgus, Solon, Muhammad, Napoleon, and so on, were all without exception criminals, from the very fact that, making a new law, they transgressed the ancient one, handed down from their ancestors, and held sacred by the people, and they did not stop short at bloodshed either."
“Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings."
“Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.”
“Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.”
"You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant."
"Faith means not wanting to know what is true."
"The cost of sanity in this society is a certain level of alienation."
"In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."
“Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.”
“Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.”
“The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.”
