Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
Image
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
Image
Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity.
Albert Camus
Image
Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom.
Albert Camus
Image
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus
Image
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
Image
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
Image
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
Image
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
Albert Camus
Image
It should be pointed out for our own guidance in the West that the continual signing of manifestoes and protests is one of the surest ways of undermining the efficacy and dignity of the intellectual. There exists a permanent blackmail that we all know and that we must have the often solitary courage to resist.
Albert Camus
Image
...the play of the toughest and most lucid mind are at the same time both lavished andsquandered.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd has meaning only in so far as it is not agreed to.
Albert Camus
Image
I said that the world is absurd, but I was too hasty. This world in itself is not reasonable, that is all that can be said. But what is absurd is the confrontation of this irrational and the wild longing for clarity whose call echoes in the human heart.
Albert Camus
Image
And for all his life it would be kindness and love that made him cry, never pain or persecution, which on the contrary only reinforced his spirit and his resolution.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
Albert Camus
Image
When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid it can't last long. But though a war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
Image
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
Image
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
