Albert Camus
Life is the sum of your choices.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
We are not so mad as to think that we shall create a world in which murder will not occur. We are fighting for a world in which murder will no longer be legal.
Albert Camus
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
But all the long speeches, all the interminable days and hours that people had spent talking about my soul, had left me with the impression of a colorless swirling river that was making me dizzy.
Albert Camus
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Albert Camus
Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.
Albert Camus
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.
Albert Camus
but perhaps we should love what we cannot understand
Albert Camus
