It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
Image
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
Image
The sense of doing good , the satisfaction of being right, the joy of looking favorably upon oneself, dear sir, are powerful levers for keeping us upright and making us progress. On the other hand, if men are deprived of that feeling, they are changed into rabid dogs.
Albert Camus

The important thing isn't the soundness or otherwise of the argument, but for it to make you think.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.
Albert Camus

It is easier to kill what we do not know.
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
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.
Albert Camus
Image
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
