You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
There is not one talent for living and another for creating. The same suffices for both. And one can be sure that the talent that could not produce but an artificial work could not sustain but a frivolous life.
Albert Camus
Image
Once crime was as solitary as a cry of protest now it is as universal as science. Yesterday it was put on trial today it determines the law.
Albert Camus
Image
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
Albert Camus
Image
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
Albert Camus
Image
Nothing is given to mankind and what little men can conquer must be paid for with unjust death. But man's grandeur lies elsewhere, in his decision to rise above his condition.
Albert Camus
Image
In a world that has ceased to believe in sin, the artist is responsible for the preaching.
