Quote

I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.

Image
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
Image
There exists an obvious fact that seems utterly moral: namely, that a man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them. One has to pay something. A man who has become conscious of the absurd is forever bound to it.
Albert Camus
Image
We have art in order not to die of life.
Albert Camus
Image
We all have a weakness for beauty.
Albert Camus
Image
It is not humiliating to be unhappy. Physical suffering is sometimes humiliating, but the suffering of being cannot be, it is life.
Albert Camus
Image
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
Image
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.
Albert Camus
Image
...he said firmly, God can help you. All the men I’ve seen in your position turned to Him in their time of trouble. Obviously, I replied, they were at liberty to do so, if they felt like it. I, however, didn’t want to be helped, and I hadn’t time to work up interest for something that didn’t interest me.
Albert Camus
Image
History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.
Albert Camus
Image
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Albert Camus
Image
I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.
Albert Camus
Image
The best are led to make greater demands upon themselves. As for those who succumb, they did not deserve to survive.
Albert Camus
Image
Thinking of the future, establishing aims for oneself, having preferences-all this presupposes a belief in freedom, even if one occasionally ascertains that one doesn't feel it.
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
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
Image
To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
Albert Camus
Image
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus
Image
A true masterpiece does not tell everything.
Albert Camus
Image
he's incapable of suffering for a long time, or being happy for a long time. Which means that he's incapable of anything really worth while.
Albert Camus
