Quote

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Albert Camus
Image
I always found misogyny vulgar and stupid, and I found almost all the women I have known to be my betters. However, placing them so high, I used them more often than I served them. How does one make sense of this?
Albert Camus
Image
There are places where the mind dies so that a truth which is its very denial may be born.
Albert Camus
Image
Everybody knows life isn't worth living.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.
Albert Camus
Image
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus
Image
Don't let them tell us stories.
Albert Camus
Image
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus
Image
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, I know what passion would fill me with all its power. Before, I was too young. I got in the way. Now I know that acting and loving and suffering is living, of course, but it’s only living insofar as you can be transparent and accept your fate, like the unique reflection of a rainbow of joys and passions which is the same for everyone.
Albert Camus
Image
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus
Image
May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
Image
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
Image
Every minute of life carries with it its miraculous value, and its face of eternal youth.
Albert Camus
Image
[Paris] is dirty. It has pigeons and black yards. The people have white skin.
Albert Camus
Image
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
Image
“To think the way you do,” he said smiling, “you have to be a man who lives either on a tremendous despair, or on a tremendous hope.” “On both, perhaps.”
Albert Camus
Image
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
Image
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
