Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
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
In Holland, everyone is an expert in painting and in tulips.
Albert Camus
Image
Mon cher ami, let's not give them any pretext, no matter how small, for judging us!!! Otherwise, we'll be left in shreds. We are forced to take the same precautions as the animal trainer. If, before going into the cage, he has the misfortune to cut himself while shaving, what a feast for the wild animals!!

Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
Albert Camus
Image
If the descent is thus sometimes performed in sorrow, it can also take place in joy.
Albert Camus
Image
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Albert Camus
Image
That's love, giving everything, sacrificing all without hope of return.
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
Fancy language, like poplin, too often conceals an eczema.
Albert Camus
Image
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.
Albert Camus
Image
Likewise and during every day of an unillustrious life, time carries us. But a moment always comes when we have to carry it.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus
Image
An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. Can they be brought together? This is a practical question. We must get down to it. I despise intelligence really means: I cannot bear my doubts.
Albert Camus
Image
He was conscious of the disastrous fact that love and desire must be expressed in the same way.
Albert Camus
Image
For those of us who have been thrown into hell, mysterious melodies and the torturing images of a vanished beauty will always bring us, in the midst of crime and folly, the echo of that harmonious insurrection which bears witness, throughout the centuries, to the greatness of humanity.
Albert Camus
Image
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
Albert Camus
Image
but perhaps we should love what we cannot understand
Albert Camus
Image
We all have a weakness for beauty.
Albert Camus
