Do you believe in God, doctor? No - but what does that really mean? I'm fumbling in the dark, struggling to make something out. But I've long ceased finding that original.
Albert Camus
Image
Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
Image
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
Image
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
Image
When the body is sad, the heart languishes.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
There is always a certain hour of the day and of the night when a man’s courage is at its lowest ebb, and it was that hour only that he feared.
Albert Camus
Image
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
Image
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
Albert Camus
Image
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus
Image
Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.
Albert Camus
Image
If you keep on excusing, you eventually give your blessing to the slave camp, to cowardly force, to organized executioners, to the cynicism of great political monsters you finally hand over your brothers.
Albert Camus
Image
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
Image
When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.
Albert Camus
Image
From Pandora's Box, where all the ills of humanity swarmed, the Greeks drew out hope after all the others, as the most dreadful of all. I know no more stirring symbol for, contrary to the general belief, hope equals resignation. And to live is not to resign oneself.
Albert Camus

A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
