The work of art is born of the intelligence's refusal to reason the concrete. It marks the triumph of the carnal.
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
He had opened his heart to the sublime indifference of the universe
Albert Camus
Image
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
Image
On certain mornings, as we turn a corner, an exquisite dew falls on our heart and then vanishes. But the freshness lingers, and this, always, is what the heart needs. The earth must have risen in just such a light the morning the world was born.
Albert Camus
Image
Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
Albert Camus
Image
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
Image
The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.
Albert Camus

We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Albert Camus
Image
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people.
Albert Camus
Image
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise . . . that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
Albert Camus
Image
In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself--like a brother, really--I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.
Albert Camus
Image
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
Image
The words that reverberate for us at the confines of this long adventure of rebellion are not formulas for optimism, for which we have no possible use in the extremities of our unhappiness, but words of courage and intelligence which, on the shores of the eternal seas, even have the qualities of virtue.
Albert Camus
Image
But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.
Albert Camus
Image
Believe me, the hardest thing for a man to give up is that which he really doesn't want, after all.
Albert Camus
Image
Gilbert Jonas, painter, believed in his star.... His own faith was not, however, without its virtues because it consisted in admitting, in some obscure way, that he would obtain many things without deserving them.
Albert Camus
