Albert Camus
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Albert Camus
We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.
Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
We're going forward, but nothing changes.
Albert Camus
To begin with, poor people´s memory is less nourished than that of a rich it has fewer landmarks in space because they seldom leave the place where they live, and fewer reference points in time throughtout lives that are grey and featureless.
Albert Camus
