Image
If you keep on excusing, you eventually give your blessing to the slave camp, to cowardly force, to organized executioners, to the cynicism of great political monsters you finally hand over your brothers.
Albert Camus
Image
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
Image
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
Image
We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.
Albert Camus
Image
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
Image
Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
Image
No longer were there individual destinies only a collective destiny, made of plague and emotions shared by all.
Albert Camus
Image
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus
Image
The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.
Albert Camus
Image
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert Camus
Image
There is nothing abstract about pain. It is specific, it is real, and, when it is intense, it is world destroying.
Albert Camus
Image
But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.
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
Image
I know myself too well to believe in pure virtue.
Albert Camus
Image
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
Image
Existence is illusory and it is eternal.
Albert Camus
Image
When love ceases to be tragic it is something else and the individual again throws himself in search of tragedy.
Albert Camus
Image
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
Image
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
