Image
Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality--where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.
Albert Camus
Image
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
Image
Mon cher ami, let's not give them any pretext, no matter how small, for judging us!!! Otherwise, we'll be left in shreds. We are forced to take the same precautions as the animal trainer. If, before going into the cage, he has the misfortune to cut himself while shaving, what a feast for the wild animals!!
Albert Camus
Image
Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.
Albert Camus
Image
There always comes a time when one must choose between contemplation and action. This is called becoming a man.
Albert Camus
Image
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
Albert Camus
Image
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
Image
A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.
Albert Camus
Image
The main thing is that everything become simple, easy enough for a child to understand.
Albert Camus
Image
Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.
Albert Camus
Image
Tout re volutionnaire finit en oppresseur ou en he re tique. Every revolutionary ends as an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
[Love] is the type of disease that spares neither the intelligent nor the idiotic.
Albert Camus
Image
The reasoning is classic in its clarity. If God does not exist, Kirilov is god. If God does not exist, Kirilov must kill himself. Kirilov must therefore kill himself to become god. That logic is absurd, but it is what is needed.
Albert Camus
Image
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
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
You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.
Albert Camus
Image
What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.
Albert Camus
Image
Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.
Albert Camus
Image
In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself--like a brother, really--I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.
Albert Camus

To grow old is to pass from passion to compassion.
Albert Camus
