Albert Camus
Image
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.
Albert Camus
Image
I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
Image
People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.
Albert Camus

Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
Albert Camus

Europe has lived on its contradictions, flourished on its differences, and, constantly transcending itself thereby, has created a civilization on which the whole world depends even when rejecting it. This is why I do not believe in a Europe unified under the weight of an ideology or of a technocracy that overlooked these differences.

Albert Camus
Image
The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but theconsequences and rules of action drawn from it.
Albert Camus
Image
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
Albert Camus
Image
There is a terrible emptiness in me, an indifference that hurts.
Albert Camus
Image
When there is no hope, one must invent hope.
Albert Camus
Image
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
Image
There are more things to admire in men than to despise.
Albert Camus
Image
Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.
Albert Camus
Image
For those of us who have been thrown into hell, mysterious melodies and the torturing images of a vanished beauty will always bring us, in the midst of crime and folly, the echo of that harmonious insurrection which bears witness, throughout the centuries, to the greatness of humanity.
Albert Camus
Image
Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.
Albert Camus
