The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.
Albert Camus
Image
...there was only one thing that interested her and that was getting into bed with men whenever she'd the chance. And I warned her straight. 'You'll be sorry one day, my girl, and wish you'd got me back'.
Albert Camus
Image
A symbol always transcends the one who makes use of it and makes him say in reality more than he is aware of expressing.
Albert Camus
Image
We must stitch up what has been torn apart, render justice imaginable in the world which is so obviously unjust, make happiness meaningful for nations poisoned by the misery of this century. Naturally, it is a superhuman task. But tasks are called superhuman when men take a long time to complete them, that is all.
Albert Camus

This is the century of fear.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
Image
She was waiting, but she didn't know for what. She was aware only of her solitude, and of the penetrating cold, and of a greater weight in the region of her heart.
Albert Camus
Image
The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
Image
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
Image
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
Image
Liberty is dangerous.
Albert Camus
Image
The future is the only transcendental value for men without God.
Albert Camus
Image
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
Albert Camus
Image
We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
To think is first of all to create a world (or to limit one's own world, which comes to the same thing).
Albert Camus
