Albert Camus

Albert Camus
All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Who taught you all this, doctor? The reply came promptly: Suffering.
Albert Camus
Lucifer also has died with God, and from his ashes has arisen a spiteful demon who does not even understand the object of his venture.
Albert Camus
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
A man who has become conscious of the absurd is for ever bound to it.
Albert Camus
To remain a man in today's world, one must have not only unfailing energy and unwavering intensity, one must also have a little luck.
Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
You must have a love, a great love, to ensure an alibi at unjustified despairs that conquer all of us
Albert Camus
