Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Without work all life goes rotten.
Albert Camus
Image
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Albert Camus
Image
What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.
Albert Camus
Image
There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.
Albert Camus
Image
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
Albert Camus
Image
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
Image
The nobility of our calling will always be rooted in two commitments difficult to observe: refusal to lie about what we know, and resistance to oppression.
Albert Camus
Image
What must be remembered in any case is that secret complicity that joins the logical and the everyday to the tragic.
Albert Camus
