Albert Camus

What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.
Albert Camus
The struggle to reach the top is itself enough to fulfill the heart of man. One must believe that Sisyphus is happy.
Albert Camus
The ancients, even though they believed in destiny , believed primarily in nature , in which they participated wholeheartedly. To rebel against nature amounted to rebelling against oneself. It was butting one's head against a wall.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.
Albert Camus
