After all perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent.
Albert Camus
Image
Have pity, Lord, on those who love and are separated.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
Albert Camus
Image
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.

Albert Camus
Image
You know, [women] do not really condemn any weakness: rather, they try to humiliate or disarm our strengths. That is why women arethe reward, not of the warrior, but of the criminal.
Albert Camus
