Albert Camus
Image
Life is a sum of all your choices. So, what are you doing today?
Albert Camus
Image
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
Image
I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.
Albert Camus
Image
But again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. The schoolteacher is well aware of this. And the question is not one of knowing what punishment or reward attends the making of this calculation. The question is one of knowing whether two and two do make four

To stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing.
Albert Camus
