Image
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
Image
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Image
I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.
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
In order to exist, man must rebel.
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
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Albert Camus
Image
The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.
Albert Camus
Image
Rebellion cannot exist without a strange form of love.
Albert Camus
Image
Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.
Albert Camus
Image
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
Image
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
Image
I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.
Albert Camus
Image
It is terrifying to see how easily, in certain people, all dignity collapses. Yet when you think about it, this is quite normal since they only maintain this dignity by constantly striving against their own nature.
Albert Camus
Image
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
Image
Death means nothing to men like me. It's the event that proves them right.
Albert Camus
Image
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman.
Albert Camus
Image
Over there, in Europe, all was shame and anger. Here it was exile or solitude, among these languid and agitated madmen who danced in order to die.
Albert Camus
Image
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
Image
Old women even forget how to love their sons. The heart gets worn out, Monsieur.
Albert Camus
