Image
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Albert Camus
Image
There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
Albert Camus
Image
In Italian museums are sometimes found little painted screens that the priest used to hold in front of the face of condemned men to hide the scaffold from them.
Albert Camus
Image
In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.
Albert Camus
Image
An achievement is a bondage. It obliges one to a higher achievement.
Albert Camus
Image
Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I.
Albert Camus
Image
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus
Image
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
Image
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
Image
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
Image
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus
Image
Every stone here sweats with suffering, I know that. I have never looked at them without a feeling of anguish. But deep in my heart I know that the most wretched among you have seen a divine face emerge from their darkness. That is the face you are asked to see.
Albert Camus
Image
Myths are made for the imagination to breath life into them.
Albert Camus
Image
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
Image
To be born to create, to love, to win at games is to be born to live in time of peace. But war teaches us to lose everything and become what we were not. It all becomes a question of style.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Albert Camus
Image
In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.
Albert Camus
Image
In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
Albert Camus
Image
There are crimes of passion and crimes of logic. The boundary between them is not clearly defined.
Albert Camus
Image
The real 19th century prophet was Dostoevsky, not Karl Marx.
