If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
Image
No longer were there individual destinies only a collective destiny, made of plague and emotions shared by all.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus

[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
Albert Camus
Image
And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from.

Albert Camus
Image
The mind's deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man's unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity.
Albert Camus
Image
Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.
Albert Camus
Image
In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
Image
Somebody has to have the last word. If not, every argument could be opposed by another and we'd never be done with it.
Albert Camus
Image
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
Image
But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.
Albert Camus
Image
But when a man has had only four hours' sleep he isn't sentimental. He sees things as they are: that is to say, he sees them in the garish light of justice hideous, witless justice.
Albert Camus
Image
There is not one talent for living and another for creating. The same suffices for both. And one can be sure that the talent that could not produce but an artificial work could not sustain but a frivolous life.
Albert Camus
Image
The day of my arrest I was first put in a room where there were already several other prisoners, most of them Arabs. They laughed when they saw me. Then they asked what I was in for. I said I'd killed an Arab and they were all silent
