Albert Camus
A writer cannot put himself today in service of those who make history he is at the service of those who suffer it.
Albert Camus
And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
Albert Camus
Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.
Albert Camus
To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
My great idea is that we must forgive the Pope. First of all, he needs it more than anyone else. Besides, it is the only way of placing oneself above him.
Albert Camus
Integrity needs no rules.
Albert Camus
There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.
Albert Camus
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
Albert Camus
To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.
Albert Camus
But,' I reminded myself, 'it's common knowledge that life isn't worth living, anyhow.
Albert Camus
