Image
Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
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
Modern conquerors can kill, but do not seem to be able to create. Artists know how to create but cannot really kill. Murderers are only very exceptionally found among artists.
Albert Camus
Image
The struggle to the top alone will make a human heart SWELL.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who love, friends and lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of definitive recognition and reconciliation.
Albert Camus
Image
I hadn't understood how days could be both long and short at the same time: long to live through, maybe, but so drawn out that they ended up flowing into one another. They lost their names. Only 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' still had any meaning for me.
Albert Camus
Image
Have you no hope at all? And do you really live with the thought that when you die, you die, and nothing remains? Yes, I said.
Albert Camus
Image
It is better for the intellectual not to talk all the time. To begin with, it would exhaust him, and, above all, it would keep him from thinking. He must create if he can, first and foremost, especially if his creation does not side-step the problems of his time.
Albert Camus
Image
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus
Image
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.
Albert Camus
Image
A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.
Albert Camus
Image
I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.
Albert Camus
Image
The most knowledgeable person in one domain may be the most ignorant in another.
Albert Camus
Image
I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.
Albert Camus
Image
Nothing can discourage the appetite for divinity in the heart of man.
Albert Camus
Image
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
Albert Camus
Image
Old women even forget how to love their sons. The heart gets worn out, Monsieur.
Albert Camus
Image
To stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing.
Albert Camus
Image
Love is the kind of illness that does not spare the intelligent or the dull.
Albert Camus
Image
The mind's deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man's unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity.
