Albert Camus
Image
What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
Image
Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place.
Albert Camus
Image
Women are all we know of paradise on this earth.
Albert Camus
Image
When the body is sad, the heart languishes.
Albert Camus
Image
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Albert Camus
Image
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
Image
The revolutionary government was required to become the government of the war.
Albert Camus
Image
If pimps and thieves everywhere were always punished, honest people would all believe themselves always to be innocent.
Albert Camus
