Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus

He had been bored, that's all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen - and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen, even loveless slavery, even war or death. Hurray then for funerals!
Albert Camus

In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

He had opened his heart to the sublime indifference of the universe
Albert Camus
Image
... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Albert Camus
Image
The words that reverberate for us at the confines of this long adventure of rebellion are not formulas for optimism, for which we have no possible use in the extremities of our unhappiness, but words of courage and intelligence which, on the shores of the eternal seas, even have the qualities of virtue.
Albert Camus
Image
False judges are held up in the world's admiration and I alone know the true ones.
Albert Camus
Image
With rebellion, awareness is born
Albert Camus
Image
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
Image
I know [my label], in any case: a double face, a charming Janus, and underneath, the house motto: Be wary. On my business cards:Jean-Baptiste Clamence, actor.
Albert Camus
Image
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
