Albert Camus
Image
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus

But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
For rich people, the sky is just an extra, a gift of nature. The poor, on the other hand, can see it as it is, a gift of infinite grace.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
And real nobility (that of the heart) is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.
Albert Camus
Image
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth, like light is dazzling. By contrast, untruth is a beautiful sunset that enhances everything.
Albert Camus
Image
For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.
Albert Camus
Image
The role of the intellectual cannot be to excuse the violence of one side and condemn that of the other.
Albert Camus
Image
Humans are creatures, who spent their lifes trying to convince themselves, that their existence is not absurd
Albert Camus
Image
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
