There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.
Albert Camus
Image
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
Image
To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.
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
At a certain level of suffering or injustice no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.
Albert Camus
