It is easier to kill what we do not know.
Albert Camus
Image
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.
Albert Camus
Image
Purely historical thought is therefore nihilistic: it wholeheartedly accepts the evil of history and in this way is opposed to rebellion.
Albert Camus
Image
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
Image
Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Albert Camus
Image
Art does not tolerate reason.
Albert Camus
Image
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Happiness is generous. It does not subsist on destruction.
Albert Camus
Image
Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus
Image
When silence or tricks of language contribute to maintaining an abuse that must be reformed or a suffering that can be relieved, then there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is not a gift received from the State or leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all.
Albert Camus
Image
The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.
Albert Camus
Image
Women are all we know of paradise on this earth.
Albert Camus
Image
I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.
Albert Camus
Image
Do you believe in God, doctor? No - but what does that really mean? I'm fumbling in the dark, struggling to make something out. But I've long ceased finding that original.
Albert Camus
Image
At the age of 40, having ordered meat very rare in restaurants all his life, he realized he actually liked it medium and not at all rare.
Albert Camus
Image
Men cry because things are not what they ought to be.
Albert Camus
Image
There are some individuals who have too strong a craving, a will, and a nostalgia for happiness ever to reach it. They always retain a bitter and passionate aftertaste, and that's the best they can hope for.
Albert Camus
Image
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
Albert Camus
