Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus

I am just coming out of five years of night, and this orgy of violent lights gives me for the first time the impression of a new continent. An enormous, 50-foot high Camel billboard : a GI with his mouth wide open blows enormous puffs of real smoke. So much bad taste hardly seems imaginable.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
A loveless world is a dead world.
Albert Camus
Image
There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.
Albert Camus
Image
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Image
My chief occupation, despite appearances, has always been love.
Albert Camus
Image
My life was lucky so that I met, I loved (and disappointed) only outstanding people.
Albert Camus
Image
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus

The harshest winter finds an invincible summer in us.
