And so I learned that familiar paths traced in the dusk of summer evenings may lead as well to prison as to innocent untroubled sleep.
Albert Camus
Image
My dear friend, we mustn't give them even the slightest excuse to judge us! Otherwise, we end up in pieces.
Albert Camus
Image
What is a rebel? A man who says no.
Albert Camus
Image
There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.
Albert Camus
Image
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
Image
Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place.
Albert Camus
Image
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus

We are condemned to live together.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no frontier between being and appearing.
Albert Camus
Image
A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
Image
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert Camus
Image
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
Image
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Image
You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.
Albert Camus
Image
The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
Albert Camus
Image
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Albert Camus
Image
We [writers] must know that we can never escape the common misery and that our only justification, if indeed there is a justification, is to speak up, insofar as we can, for those who cannot do so.
Albert Camus
Image
The mistake that men make is that they do not believe in theater. Otherwise, they would know that every man is allowed to play thecelestial tragedies and to become god. All he has to do is harden his heart.
Albert Camus
Image
An intense feeling carries with it its own universe, magnificent or wretched as the case may be.
