Albert Camus
Image
In the world there is, parallel to the force of death and constraint, an enormous force of persuasion that is called culture.
Albert Camus

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
Image
Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.
Albert Camus
Image
You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
