Albert Camus
I've never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.
Albert Camus
The real 19th century prophet was Dostoevsky, not Karl Marx.
Albert Camus
After all perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent.
Albert Camus
We're all special cases.
Albert Camus
