With rebellion, awareness is born
Albert Camus
Image
How hard it is, how bitter it is to become a man!
Albert Camus
Image
The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.
Albert Camus
Image
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.
Albert Camus
Image
Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police, or folly.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth and freedom, having few lovers, are demanding mistresses.
Albert Camus

To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing.
Albert Camus

Being is good, but getting rich is better.... If the gods had only the riches of men's adoration, they would be as poor as poor Caligula.
Albert Camus
Image
Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
Albert Camus
Image
I've never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.
Albert Camus
Image
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
Image
Men and women consume one another rapidly in what is called the act of love, or else settle down to a mild habit of conjugality. We seldom find a mean between these two extremes.
Albert Camus
Image
When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.
Albert Camus
Image
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
Image
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
Image
Ce que je sais de la morale, c'est au football que je le dois. (I know of morality, it is football that I owe.)
Albert Camus
