Albert Camus
Image
He had opened his heart to the sublime indifference of the universe
Albert Camus
Image
For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it, it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers.
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.

Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
Image
Once crime was as solitary as a cry of protest now it is as universal as science. Yesterday it was put on trial today it determines the law.
Albert Camus
Image
Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.
Albert Camus
Image
One cannot be a part-time nihilist.
Albert Camus
Image
There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
Albert Camus
Image
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
Image
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
Albert Camus

You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
