Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.
Albert Camus
Image
And indeed it could be said that once the faintest stirring of hope became possible, the dominion of plague was ended.
Albert Camus
Image
Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.
Albert Camus
Image
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, I'm happy, in human terms.
Albert Camus
Image
But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
The day of my arrest I was first put in a room where there were already several other prisoners, most of them Arabs. They laughed when they saw me. Then they asked what I was in for. I said I'd killed an Arab and they were all silent
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

Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
