Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
Image
What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
Image
After all perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent.
Albert Camus
Image
I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to L'Illustration. Something desperate, you know.
Albert Camus
Image
It is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear.
