Albert Camus
The true work of art is always on the human scale. It is essentially the one that says, 'less.
Albert Camus
... here, where the gaze is stopped everywhere, the whole earth is designed so that the face turns upward and the gaze implores. Oh! I hate this world where we are reduced to God.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.

Albert Camus
Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.
Albert Camus
It is not true that the heart wears out - but the body creates this illusion.
Albert Camus
In fact, other people create for lack of power. I, on the other hand, do not need a work: I live.
Albert Camus
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
The absurd is essentially a divorce. It lies in neither of the elements compared it is born of their confrontation.
Albert Camus
Something must happen that is the reason for most human relationships. Something must happen even servitude in love, in war, ordeath.
Albert Camus
