Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
Image
There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
Albert Camus
Image
I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
Image
For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment's human suffering
Albert Camus
Image
Cruel irony, the poor man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.
Albert Camus
Image
I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.
Albert Camus
Image

A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.
Albert Camus
Image
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
Image
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.
Albert Camus
Image
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
Image
It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy.
Albert Camus
Image
To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?
Albert Camus
Image
Suffering gives us no special rights.
Albert Camus
Image
Man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
It was previously a question of finding out whether or not life had to have a meaning to be lived. It now becomes clear on the contrary that it will be lived all the better if it has no meaning
Albert Camus
Image
It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus
Image
This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance, the gap will never be filled. Forever I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
