Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
Image
We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.
Albert Camus
Image
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus
Image
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
Image
Life is the result of all your choices.
Albert Camus
Image
We can't do without dominating others or being served.... The essential thing, in sum, is being able to get angry without the other person being able to answer back.
Albert Camus
Image
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
