Image
I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.
Albert Camus
Image
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it-just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus
Image
Tout re volutionnaire finit en oppresseur ou en he re tique. Every revolutionary ends as an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus
Image
He had been bored, that's all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen - and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen, even loveless slavery, even war or death. Hurray then for funerals!
Albert Camus
Image
In the light, the earth remains our first and our last love. Our brothers are breathing under the same sky as we justice is a living thing. Now is born that strange joy which helps one live and die, and which we shall never again postpone to a later time.
Albert Camus
Image
For rich people, the sky is just an extra, a gift of nature. The poor, on the other hand, can see it as it is, a gift of infinite grace.
Albert Camus
Image
... one cannot be happy in exile or in oblivion. One cannot always be a stranger. I want to return to my homeland, make all my loved ones happy. I see no further than this.
Albert Camus
Image
And so I learned that familiar paths traced in the dusk of summer evenings may lead as well to prison as to innocent untroubled sleep.
Albert Camus
Image
Stupidity has a knack of getting its way.
Albert Camus
Image
In fact, other people create for lack of power. I, on the other hand, do not need a work: I live.
Albert Camus
Image
What is human in me is not what is best in me. What is human in me is that I desire, and to obtain what I desire, I believe I would crush anything that stood in my way.
Albert Camus
Image
Everybody knows life isn't worth living.
Albert Camus
Image
Liberty is the right not to lie.
Albert Camus
Image
Suffering gives us no special rights.
Albert Camus
Image
In a world that has ceased to believe in sin, the artist is responsible for the preaching.
Albert Camus
Image
If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, I'm happy, in human terms.
Albert Camus
Image
Art and revolt will die only with the last man.
Albert Camus
Image
Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus
