Albert Camus
Image
I don’t know whether this world has a meaning that transcends it. But I know that I cannot know that meaning and that it is impossible for me just now to know it.
Albert Camus
Image
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations. In it you possess only yourself, hence it remains the favorite pastime of the great lovers of their own person.
Albert Camus
Image
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.

Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
Image
After another moment's silence she mumbled that I was peculiar, that that was probably why she loved me but that one day I might disgust her for the very same reason.
Albert Camus
Image
If God did not exist, we should have to invent him. If God did exist, we should have to abolish Him.
Albert Camus
Image
Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.
Albert Camus
Image
To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?
Albert Camus
Image
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.
Albert Camus
Image
how hard it must be to live only with what one knows and what one remembers, cut off from what one hopes for!
Albert Camus
Image
God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.
Albert Camus
