For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus

I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus
Image
There is scarcely any passion without struggle.
Albert Camus

In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Albert Camus
Image
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
Image
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Image
As for those whose role it is to love us - I mean, relatives and in-laws (what a word)- It's a different tune. They find the right word, but it's usually the one that wounds.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
After a short silence the doctor raised himself a little in his chair and asked if Tarrou had an idea of the path to follow for attaining peace. Yes, he replied. The path of sympathy.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
Image
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
Albert Camus
Image
Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable.
Albert Camus
Image
For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.
Albert Camus
