Albert Camus
Image
From Pandora's Box, where all the ills of humanity swarmed, the Greeks drew out hope after all the others, as the most dreadful of all. I know no more stirring symbol for, contrary to the general belief, hope equals resignation. And to live is not to resign oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
The world I live in is loathsome to me, but I feel one with the men who suffer in it
Albert Camus
Image
It occurred to me that anyway one more Sunday was over that Maman was buried now, that I was going back to work, and that, really, nothing had changed.
Albert Camus
Image
For the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still.
Albert Camus
Image
Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles and dies.
Albert Camus
Image
One of the only coherent philosophical positions is thus revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his own obscurity.
