Image
For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
Image
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
Image
As soon as one does not kill oneself, one must keep silent about life.
Albert Camus
Image
It should be pointed out for our own guidance in the West that the continual signing of manifestoes and protests is one of the surest ways of undermining the efficacy and dignity of the intellectual. There exists a permanent blackmail that we all know and that we must have the often solitary courage to resist.
Albert Camus
Image
Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.
Albert Camus
Image
Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.
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
Image
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Albert Camus
Image
Poor and free rather than rich and enslaved. Of course, men want to be both rich and free, and this is what leads them at times to be poor and enslaved.
Albert Camus
Image
In the next few years the struggle will not be between utopia and reality, but between different utopias, each trying to impose itself on reality ... we can no longer hope to save everything, but ... we can at least try to save lives, so that some kind of future, if perhaps not the ideal one, will remain possible.
Albert Camus
Image
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert Camus
Image
Suffering gives us no special rights.
Albert Camus
Image
Old married people look so much alike that they have the same number of hairs in their ears.
Albert Camus
Image
Who taught you all this, doctor? The reply came promptly: Suffering.
Albert Camus
Image
To think is first of all to create a world (or to limit one's own world, which comes to the same thing).
Albert Camus
Image
The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
Albert Camus
Image
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
The contradiction is this: man rejects the world as it is, without accepting the necessity of escaping it. In fact, men cling to the world and by far the majority do not want to abandon it.
Albert Camus
Image
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus

Having money is a way of being free of money.
