Quote

For me, physical love has always been bound to an irresistible feeling of innocence and joy. Thus, I cannot love in tears but in exaltation.

If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
Image
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus
Image
Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
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
I was always able to understand my friend who decided to quit smoking and who, through an effort of will, succeeded in doing so. One morning, he opened the newspaper, read that the first H- bomb had exploded, found out about the bomb's admirable effects and went straight to the tobacconist's.

We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.
Albert Camus
Image
And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from.
Albert Camus

Je puis nier une chose sans me croire obligé de la salir ou de retirer aux autres le droit d'y croire.
Albert Camus
Image
Mon cher ami, let's not give them any pretext, no matter how small, for judging us!!! Otherwise, we'll be left in shreds. We are forced to take the same precautions as the animal trainer. If, before going into the cage, he has the misfortune to cut himself while shaving, what a feast for the wild animals!!
Albert Camus
Image
As soon as one does not kill oneself, one must keep silent about life.
Albert Camus
Image
The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.
Albert Camus
Image
Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.
Albert Camus
Image
Great feelings take with them their own universe, splendid or abject. They light up with their passion an exclusive world in which they recognize their climate.
Albert Camus
Image
He had opened his heart to the sublime indifference of the universe
Albert Camus
Image
When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.
Albert Camus
Image
We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.
Albert Camus
Image
O light! This the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus

None of the evils which totalitarianism ... claims to remedy is worse than totalitarianism itself.
Albert Camus
Image
I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.

How many crimes are permitted simply because their authors could not endure being wrong.
