Albert Camus
Image
Am well. Thinking of you always. Love
Albert Camus
Image
Finally, and most of all, words failed him.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is not a gift received from the State or leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all.
Albert Camus
Image
Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.
Albert Camus
Image
Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose a future.
