Albert Camus

...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
Image
We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
When the throne of God is overturned, the rebel realizes that it is now his own responsibility to create the justice, order, and unity that he sought in vain within his own condition, and in this way to justify the fall of God. Then begins the desperate effort to create, at the price of crime and murder if necessary, the dominion of man.

Albert Camus
Image
Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will's impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.
Albert Camus
Image
Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
Image
Mistakes are joyful, truth infernal.
Albert Camus
Image
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
Image
It is better to burn than to disappear.
Albert Camus
Image
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
