Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus

I don't want to be a genius-I have enough problems just trying to be a man.
Albert Camus
Image
Beware of those who say: I know this too well to be able to express it. For if they cannot do so, this is because they don't know it or because out of laziness they stopped at the outer crust.
Albert Camus
Image
Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?
Albert Camus
Image
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
Image
Madness such as this, its like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
Albert Camus
Image
Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents
Albert Camus
Image
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
Image
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
