Albert Camus
Image
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
Image
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
Image
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
Albert Camus
Image
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.
Albert Camus

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
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

Have you noticed that only death arouses our emotions? How we love thee friends who have just passed away, right? How we admire those master who no longer speak, their mouths full of dirt. We them we are not obligated.
Albert Camus
Image
We turn our backs on nature we are ashamed of beauty. Our wretched tragedies have a smell of the office clinging to them, and the blood that trickles from them is the color of printer's ink.
Albert Camus
Image
Whoever gives nothing, has nothing. The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved, but not to love.
Albert Camus
Image
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
Image
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus
Image
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
Image
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
Image
One cannot be a part-time nihilist.
Albert Camus
Image
Poor and free rather than rich and enslaved. Of course, men want to be both rich and free, and this is what leads them at times to be poor and enslaved.
Albert Camus
Image
The best revenge you can have on intellectuals is to be madly happy.
Albert Camus
Image
We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.
Albert Camus
