Image
Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Camus
Image
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
Image
When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.
Albert Camus
Image
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus
Image
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
Image
I knew a pure heart who refused tot be mistrustful.... He had written at his doorstep: From wherever you are, enter and be welcome. Who do you think responded to this lovely invitation? The militia, who made themselves at home and gutted him.
Albert Camus
Image
And never have I felt so deeply at one and the same time so detached from myself and so present in the world.
Albert Camus
Image
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
Everybody knows life isn't worth living.
Albert Camus
Image
But when a man has had only four hours' sleep he isn't sentimental. He sees things as they are: that is to say, he sees them in the garish light of justice hideous, witless justice.
Albert Camus
Image
After awhile you could get used to anything.
Albert Camus
Image
What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.
Albert Camus
Image
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.
Albert Camus
Image
The current motto for all of us can only be this: without giving up anything on the plane of justice, yield nothing on the plane of freedom.
Albert Camus
Image
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
Image
In this vast country that he had so loved, he was alone.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.
Albert Camus
Image
But too many people now climb onto the cross merely to be seen from a greater distance, even if they have to trample somewhat on the one who has been there so long.
Albert Camus
Image
Liberty is dangerous, as hard to get along with as it is exciting.
Albert Camus
Image
Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
Albert Camus
