Albert Camus
Image
Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.
Albert Camus
Image
[Liberty] is a choreand a long-distance race, quite solitary, quite exhausting.
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
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Albert Camus
Image
In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus

More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
Image
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity.
Albert Camus
Image
Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)
Albert Camus
Image
Sometimes at night I would sleep open-eyed underneath a sky dripping with stars. I was alive then.
Albert Camus
Image
God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.
Albert Camus
Image
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
Image
Without work all life goes rotten.
Albert Camus
Image
In our society, any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.
Albert Camus
Image
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
The certainty of a God giving meaning to life far surpasses in attractiveness the ability to behave badly with impunity. The choice would not be hard to make. But there is no choice and that is where the bitterness comes in. The absurd does not liberate it binds.
Albert Camus
