Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
If you keep on excusing, you eventually give your blessing to the slave camp, to cowardly force, to organized executioners, to the cynicism of great political monsters you finally hand over your brothers.
Albert Camus
Image
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.
Albert Camus
Image
The future is the only transcendental value for men without God.
Albert Camus
Image
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
Image
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
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
For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
