Men cry because things are not what they ought to be.
Albert Camus

Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.

Albert Camus
Image
True artists scorn nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
Image
The struggle to the top alone will make a human heart SWELL.
Albert Camus
Image
Je puis nier une chose sans me croire obligé de la salir ou de retirer aux autres le droit d'y croire.
Albert Camus
Image
But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.
Albert Camus
Image
These are facts the heart can feel yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect.
Albert Camus
Image
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus
