The current motto for all of us can only be this: without giving up anything on the plane of justice, yield nothing on the plane of freedom.
Albert Camus
Image
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
Image
Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
Image
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus
Image
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
Image
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
Image
I shall not, as far as I am concerned, try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion from evil. But I do not share your hope, and I continue to struggle against this universe in which children suffer and die.
Albert Camus
Image
He was conscious of the disastrous fact that love and desire must be expressed in the same way.
Albert Camus
Image
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
Albert Camus
Image
Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.
Albert Camus
Image
Moreover, most people, assuming they had not altogether abandoned religious observances, or did not combine them naively with a thoroughly immoral way of living, had replace normal religious practice by more or less extravagant superstitions.
Albert Camus

To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
