Nothing in life is worth, turning your back on, if you love it.
Albert Camus
Image
History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
Albert Camus
Image
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus
Image
Camus himself described this work as 'an attempt to understand the time I live in'.

Albert Camus

It is easy to shield the outer body from poisoned arrows, but it is impossible to shield the mind from the poisoned darts that originate within itself. Greed, anger, foolishness and the infatuations of egoism - these four poisoned darts originate within the mind and infect it with deadly poison.
Albert Camus
Image
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
Image
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
Image
God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.
Albert Camus
Image
Life should be lived to the point of tears
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
Image
It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy.
