Image
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
Image
But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man.
Albert Camus
Image
I'd have given ten conversations with Einstein for a first meeting with a pretty chorus girl.
Albert Camus

If the world were clear, art would not exist.
Albert Camus
Image
For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.

Albert Camus
Image
[Paris] is dirty. It has pigeons and black yards. The people have white skin.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
This absurd, godless world is, then, peopled with men who think clearly and have ceased to hope. And I have not yet spoken of the most absurd character, who is the creator.
Albert Camus
Image
My great idea is that we must forgive the Pope. First of all, he needs it more than anyone else. Besides, it is the only way of placing oneself above him.
Albert Camus
Image
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus
Image
I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.
Albert Camus
Image
I looked up at the mass of signs and stars in the night sky and laid myself open for the first time to the benign indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
Generally, I like all islands. There, it is easier to rule.
Albert Camus
Image
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
