...the play of the toughest and most lucid mind are at the same time both lavished andsquandered.
Albert Camus
Image
We [writers] must know that we can never escape the common misery and that our only justification, if indeed there is a justification, is to speak up, insofar as we can, for those who cannot do so.
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
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
Image
It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.
Albert Camus
Image
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
Poor and free rather than rich and enslaved. Of course, men want to be both rich and free, and this is what leads them at times to be poor and enslaved.
Albert Camus
Image
Men like us are good and proud and strong...if we had a faith, a God, nothing could undermine us. But we had nothing, we had to learn everything, and living for honor alone has its weaknesses.
Albert Camus
Image
The tragedy is not that we are alone, but that we cannot be. At times I would give anything in the world to no longer be connected by anything to this universe of men.
Albert Camus
Image
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Albert Camus
Image
I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.
Albert Camus
Image
History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
Image
There is a solitude in poverty, but a solitude which restores to each thing its value.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games one must first answer.
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
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
Image
Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.
Albert Camus
Image
No ends, simply means.
Albert Camus
Image
Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus
