How do you put everyone in the pool, so you have the right to dry yourself in the sun?
Albert Camus
Image
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus

Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices.
Albert Camus
Image
The danger of lectures is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners.
Albert Camus
Image
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Albert Camus
Image
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
Image
To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.
Albert Camus
Image
It occurred to me that anyway one more Sunday was over that Maman was buried now, that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed.
Albert Camus
Image
I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Image
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Albert Camus

Life should be lived to the point of tears
Albert Camus
Image
When a war breaks out, people say: It's too stupid it can't last long. But though a war may well be too stupid, that doesn't prevent its lasting. Stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus
Image
You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
Albert Camus
