Albert Camus
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.
Albert Camus
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
Albert Camus
We [writers] must know that we can never escape the common misery and that our only justification, if indeed there is a justification, is to speak up, insofar as we can, for those who cannot do so.
Albert Camus
We must learn how to lend ourselves to dreaming when dreams lend themselves to us.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Madness such as this, its like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
Albert Camus
