To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
Image
Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.
Albert Camus
Image
No matter what cause one defends, it will suffer permanent disgrace if one resorts to blind attacks on crowds of innocent people.
Albert Camus
Image
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Those who love, friends and lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of definitive recognition and reconciliation.
Albert Camus
Image
I had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold.
Albert Camus
Image
History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
Image
How had I not seen that there was nothing more important than an execution, and that when you come right down to it, it was the only thing a man could truly be interested in?
Albert Camus
Image
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
Albert Camus
Image
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who write clearly have readers.
Albert Camus
Image
When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.
Albert Camus
Image
That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.
Albert Camus
