Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The opposite of an idealist is too often a man without love.
Albert Camus
A character is never the author who created him. It is quite likely, however, that an author may be all his characters simultaneously.
Albert Camus
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.
Albert Camus
He was expressing his certainty that my appeal would be granted, but I was carrying the burden of a sin from which I had to free myself. According to him, human justice was nothing and divine justice was everything. I pointed out it was the former that had condemned me.
Albert Camus
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
The world I live in is loathsome to me, but I feel one with the men who suffer in it
