For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus

At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus

Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Albert Camus
Image
There are means that cannot be excused. And I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice. I don't want just any greatness for it, particularly a greatness born of blood and falsehood. I want to keep it alive by keeping justice alive.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
Image
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Image
he's incapable of suffering for a long time, or being happy for a long time. Which means that he's incapable of anything really worth while.
Albert Camus
Image
My dear friend, we mustn't give them even the slightest excuse to judge us! Otherwise, we end up in pieces.
Albert Camus
Image
How do you put everyone in the pool, so you have the right to dry yourself in the sun?
Albert Camus
Image
A trial cannot be conducted by announcing the general culpability of a civilization. Only the actual deeds which, at least, stank in the nostrils of the entire world were brought to judgment.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, there was an element of abstraction and unreality in misfortune. But when an abstraction starts to kill you, you have to get to work on it.
Albert Camus
Image
The world is unimportant and whoever recognizes this conquers his liberty.
Albert Camus

Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
