Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
It is in the thick of calamity that one gets hardened to the truth - in other words, to silence.
Albert Camus
Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
Albert Camus
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
We come into the world laden with the weight of an infinite necessity.
Albert Camus
