A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
As for Hitler, his professed religion unhesitatingly juxtaposed the God-Providence and Valhalla. Actually his god was an argument at a political meeting and a manner of reaching an impressive climax at the end of speeches.
Albert Camus
Image
Whatever prevents you from doing your work has become your work.
Albert Camus
Image
Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus
Image
Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.
Albert Camus
Image
...the habit of despair is worse than despair itself.
Albert Camus
Image
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
To grow old is to pass from passion to compassion.
Albert Camus
Image
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
Image
We are not so mad as to think that we shall create a world in which murder will not occur. We are fighting for a world in which murder will no longer be legal.
Albert Camus
Image
There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.
Albert Camus
Image
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise . . . that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
Albert Camus
Image
Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
Albert Camus
Image
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
Image
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
Image
Only he who is uncompromising as to his rights maintains the sense of duty.
Albert Camus
Image
What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.
Albert Camus
Image
I am just coming out of five years of night, and this orgy of violent lights gives me for the first time the impression of a new continent. An enormous, 50-foot high Camel billboard : a GI with his mouth wide open blows enormous puffs of real smoke. So much bad taste hardly seems imaginable.
Albert Camus
Image
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.
