Image
...he said firmly, God can help you. All the men I’ve seen in your position turned to Him in their time of trouble. Obviously, I replied, they were at liberty to do so, if they felt like it. I, however, didn’t want to be helped, and I hadn’t time to work up interest for something that didn’t interest me.
Albert Camus
Image
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
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
I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.
Albert Camus
Image
Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
Image
This absurd, godless world is, then, peopled with men who think clearly and have ceased to hope. And I have not yet spoken of the most absurd character, who is the creator.

Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
I know [my label], in any case: a double face, a charming Janus, and underneath, the house motto: Be wary. On my business cards:Jean-Baptiste Clamence, actor.
Albert Camus
Image
L'absurde est la notion essentielle et la premie' re ve? rite? . The absurd is the fundamental idea and the first truth.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom of the press is perhaps the freedom that has suffered the most from the gradual degradation of the idea of liberty.
Albert Camus
Image
To lose the touch of flowers and women's hands is the supreme separation.
Albert Camus
Image
There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.
Albert Camus
Image
Creating is living doubly. The groping, anxious quest of a Proust, his meticulous collecting of flowers, of wallpapers, and of anxieties, signifies nothing else.
Albert Camus
Image
To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.
Albert Camus
Image
The future is the only transcendental value for men without God.
Albert Camus
Image
Over there, in Europe, all was shame and anger. Here it was exile or solitude, among these languid and agitated madmen who danced in order to die.
Albert Camus
Image
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
Albert Camus
Image
Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction, therefore it destroys freedom.
Albert Camus
Image
There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.
Albert Camus
