Albert Camus
Image
But do you know why we are always more just and generous toward the dead? The reason is simple. With them there is no obligation. They leave us free and we can take our time, fit the testimonial between a cocktail party and a nice little mistress, in our spare time, in short.
Albert Camus
Image
There is a terrible emptiness in me, an indifference that hurts.
Albert Camus
Image
Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.
Albert Camus
Image
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
Image
Sometimes at night I would sleep open-eyed underneath a sky dripping with stars. I was alive then.
Albert Camus
Image
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
