Albert Camus

Albert Camus

May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
Image
Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and historical tasks is an actual or potential assassin.
Albert Camus
Image
Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know. I got a telegram from the home: 'Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.' That doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.
Albert Camus
Image
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
Image
On good days, if you trust life, life has to answer you.
Albert Camus

Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
Image
There are always reasons for murdering a man. But there is no justification for his existence.
