Freedom is not constituted primarily of privileges but of responsibilities.
Albert Camus
Image
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
Image
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.

Albert Camus
Image
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Albert Camus
Image
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Camus
Image
I lived with the only continuity, day to day, of the me-me-me.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.
Albert Camus
Image
For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.

She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.

Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
