Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
Image
This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world.
Albert Camus
Image
When there is no hope, one must invent hope.
Albert Camus
Image
[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
Albert Camus
