Beware of those who say: I know this too well to be able to express it. For if they cannot do so, this is because they don't know it or because out of laziness they stopped at the outer crust.
Albert Camus
Image
I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.
Albert Camus
Image
I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
Albert Camus
Image
I am just coming out of five years of night, and this orgy of violent lights gives me for the first time the impression of a new continent. An enormous, 50-foot high Camel billboard : a GI with his mouth wide open blows enormous puffs of real smoke. So much bad taste hardly seems imaginable.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no frontier between being and appearing.
Albert Camus
Image
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday I can't be sure.
Albert Camus
Image
Real fulfillment, for the man who allows absolutely free rein to his desires, and who much dominate everything, lies in hatred.
Albert Camus
Image
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
Image
The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus
Image
Independence is earned by a few words of cheap confidence
Albert Camus
Image
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
Albert Camus
Image
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Albert Camus
Image
To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
Image
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
Image
In normal times all of us know, whether consciously or not, that there is no love which can't be bettered nevertheless, we reconcile ourselves more or less easily to the fact that ours has never risen above the average.
Albert Camus
