Image
When there is no hope, one must invent hope.
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
An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. Can they be brought together? This is a practical question. We must get down to it. I despise intelligence really means: I cannot bear my doubts.
Albert Camus
Image
Give up the tyranny of female charm.
Albert Camus
Image
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
Image
There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.
Albert Camus
Image
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
Image
... here, where the gaze is stopped everywhere, the whole earth is designed so that the face turns upward and the gaze implores. Oh! I hate this world where we are reduced to God.
Albert Camus
Image
On my way out I was even going to shake his hand, but I remembered just in time that I'd killed a man.
Albert Camus
Image
There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.
Albert Camus
Image
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.
Albert Camus
Image
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
Creating is living doubly. The groping, anxious quest of a Proust, his meticulous collecting of flowers, of wallpapers, and of anxieties, signifies nothing else.
Albert Camus
Image
To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
Image
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
Albert Camus
Image
For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
The current motto for all of us can only be this: without giving up anything on the plane of justice, yield nothing on the plane of freedom.
Albert Camus
Image
Fancy language, like poplin, too often conceals an eczema.
Albert Camus
