Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.
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
That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.
Albert Camus
Image
There are people who vindicate the world, who help others live just by their presence.
Albert Camus
Image
They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.
Albert Camus
Image
There can be no question of holding forth on ethics. I have seen people behave badly with great morality and I note every day that integrity has no need of rules
Albert Camus
Image
The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.
Albert Camus
Image
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.
Albert Camus
