Albert Camus
Image
what doesn't kill you make you stronger and stronger
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
Happiness is not everything and men have their duties. Mine is to find my mother, a homeland
Albert Camus
Image
To those who despair of everything reason cannot provide a faith, but only passion, and in this case it must be the same passion that lay at the root of the despair, namely humiliation and hatred.
Albert Camus
Image
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject.
Albert Camus
Image
I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine
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
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
Image
There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.
Albert Camus
