About This Quote

The quote “He gets away with it because he’s strong” is an example of the universal truth, that it doesn't matter who you are, or what you do, if you're strong enough to get away with it, then you won't be stopped. The quote "This is the story of mankind" by Albert Camus is an example of the universals truth that everyone is trapped in a web of their own making. As Camus says, to paraphrase, "This is the story of mankind" implies that there's no way out of this web except through violence. However, this truth isn't always true.

Sometimes people are able to break free from their circumstances. People who are able to escape from their circumstances are people who are strong enough.
