Albert Camus
Image
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.

Albert Camus
Image
Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.
Albert Camus
Image
We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.
Albert Camus
Image
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus
Image
Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.
Albert Camus
Image
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
Image
They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.
Albert Camus
Image
Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.
Albert Camus
