Image
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
Albert Camus
Image
Obstinacy alone is not a virtue.
Albert Camus

In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.
Albert Camus
Image
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
Image
Of course, true love is exceptional - two or three times a century, more or less. The rest of the time there is vanity or boredom.
Albert Camus
Image
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
Image
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
Image
The only really committed artist is he who, without refusing to take part in the combat, at least refuses to join the regular armies and remains a freelance.
Albert Camus
Image
Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
Albert Camus
Image
What is a rebel? A man who says no.
Albert Camus
Image
Something must happen that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.
Albert Camus
