If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
Image
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
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
La ve rite , comme la lumie' re, aveugle. Le mensonge, au contraire, est un beau cre puscule qui met chaque objet en valeur. Truth, like light, blinds. A lie, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight which shows the value of each object.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
Image
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.
Albert Camus
Image
But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.
Albert Camus
Image
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus
Image
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
Image
For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment's human suffering
Albert Camus
Image
His own faith, however, was not lacking in virtues since it consisted in acknowledging obscurely that he would be granted much without ever deserving anything.
Albert Camus
Image
In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.
Albert Camus
Image
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Albert Camus
Image
I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.
Albert Camus
Image
In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.
Albert Camus
Image
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
What must be remembered in any case is that secret complicity that joins the logical and the everyday to the tragic.
Albert Camus
Image
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously.
Albert Camus
Image
He was conscious of the disastrous fact that love and desire must be expressed in the same way.
Albert Camus
Image
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
