Image
For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
Image
Nothing is given to mankind and what little men can conquer must be paid for with unjust death. But man's grandeur lies elsewhere, in his decision to rise above his condition.
Albert Camus
Image
He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man.
Albert Camus
Image
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Albert Camus
Image
The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.
Albert Camus
Image
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
Image
No matter how the sun shone, the sea held forth no more promises.
Albert Camus
Image
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
Image
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
Image
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
Image
People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.
Albert Camus
Image
I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.
Albert Camus
Image
The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.
Albert Camus
Image
Morality, when formal, devours.
Albert Camus
Image
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.
Albert Camus
Image
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
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
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
