Albert Camus
Image
You will always win if you make an effort, no matter how much. However, if you failed it means you were too lazy.
Albert Camus
Image
The mind's deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man's unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity.

Image
Every great work makes the human face more admirable and richer, and this is its whole secret.
Albert Camus
Image
Everything considered, a determined soul will always manage.
Albert Camus

When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.
Albert Camus
Image
You must have a love, a great love, to ensure an alibi at unjustified despairs that conquer all of us
