Quote

Always there comes an hour when one is weary of one's work and devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.

Image
In our well-policed society we recognize that an illness is serious from the fact that we don't dare speak of it directly.
Albert Camus
Image
The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action.
Albert Camus
Image
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
Image
No one who lives in the sunlight of gratitude that things aren't worse makes a failure of his or her life.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.
Albert Camus
Image
No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.
Albert Camus
Image
The tragedy is not that we are alone, but that we cannot be. At times I would give anything in the world to no longer be connected by anything to this universe of men.
Albert Camus
Image
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Image
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
Albert Camus
Image
Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
Albert Camus
Image
Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I.
Albert Camus
Image
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
Image
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
Image
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
Image
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus
Image
...he said firmly, God can help you. All the men I’ve seen in your position turned to Him in their time of trouble. Obviously, I replied, they were at liberty to do so, if they felt like it. I, however, didn’t want to be helped, and I hadn’t time to work up interest for something that didn’t interest me.
Albert Camus
Image
No doubt our love was still there, but quite simply it was unusable, heavy to carry, inert inside of us, sterile as crime or condemnation. It was no longer anything except a patience with no future and a stubborn wait.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd has meaning only in so far as it is not agreed to.
Albert Camus
Image
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
Albert Camus
