Life can be magnificent and overwhelming -- that is the whole tragedy. Without beauty, love, or danger it would almost be easy to live.
Albert Camus
Image
I've never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

We know the surrealist solution: concrete irrationality, objective risk.

Albert Camus

That's love, giving everything, sacrificing all without hope of return.
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
Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.
Albert Camus
Image
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Image
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
Image
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.

All I know of morality I learned from football
Albert Camus
Image
Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we'd never be done with it.
Albert Camus
Image
I have always thought it would be easier to redeem a man steeped in vice and crime than a greedy, narrow-minded, pitiless merchant.
