Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Albert Camus
Image
he's incapable of suffering for a long time, or being happy for a long time. Which means that he's incapable of anything really worth while.
Albert Camus
Image
You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
My chief occupation, despite appearances, has always been love.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
The best revenge you can have on intellectuals is to be madly happy.
Albert Camus
Image
Je puis nier une chose sans me croire obligé de la salir ou de retirer aux autres le droit d'y croire.
Albert Camus
Image
In every rebellion is to be found the metaphysical demand for unity, the impossibility of capturing it, and the construction of a substitute universe.
Albert Camus
Image
When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid it can't last long. But though a war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul
Albert Camus
Image
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
Image
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus

The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.
