I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.
Albert Camus
Image
I was tormented by my desire for a woman ... I thought so much about a woman, about women, about all the ones I had known, about all the circumstances in which I had enjoyed them, that my cell would be filled with their faces and crowded with my desires.
Albert Camus
Image
The society based on production is only productive, not creative.
Albert Camus
Image
No excuses ever, for anyone that is my principle at the outset. I deny the good intention, the respectable mistake, the indiscretion, the extenuating circumstance. With me there is no giving of absolution or blessing.
Albert Camus
Image
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
Image
Have you no hope at all? And do you really live with the thought that when you die, you die, and nothing remains? Yes, I said.
Albert Camus
Image
I would like to be able to breathe— to be able to love her by memory or fidelity. But my heart aches. I love you continuously, intensely.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
It is better for the intellectual not to talk all the time. To begin with, it would exhaust him, and, above all, it would keep him from thinking. He must create if he can, first and foremost, especially if his creation does not side-step the problems of his time.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky.
Albert Camus
Image
The only really committed artist is he who, without refusing to take part in the combat, at least refuses to join the regular armies and remains a freelance.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, I'm happy, in human terms.
Albert Camus
Image
The role of the intellectual cannot be to excuse the violence of one side and condemn that of the other.
Albert Camus
Image
One might think, that a period which, within fifty years, uproots, enslaves or kills seventy million human beings, should only, and forthwith, be condemned. But also its guilt must be understood.
Albert Camus
Image
Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.
Albert Camus
Image
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
Albert Camus
Image
I shall not, as far as I am concerned, try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion from evil. But I do not share your hope, and I continue to struggle against this universe in which children suffer and die.
Albert Camus
Image
How hard it is, how bitter it is to become a man!
Albert Camus
Image
Between history and the eternal I have chosen history because I like certainties. Of it, at least, I am certain, and how can I deny this force crushing me.
