One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
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
Image
In this vast country that he had so loved, he was alone.
Albert Camus
Image
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
