Albert Camus
Image
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
Image
It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
What is a rebel? A man who says no: but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.
Albert Camus
Image
For if I try to seize this self of which I feel sure, if I try to define and to summarize it, it is nothing but water slipping through my fingers.
Albert Camus
Image
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
