Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity.
Albert Camus
Image
But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.
Albert Camus
Image
Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.
Albert Camus
Image
He seemed so certain about everything, didn't he? And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman's head. He wasn't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man.
Albert Camus
Image
Because there is nothing here than invites us to cherish unhappy lovers. Nothing is more vain than to die for love. What we ought to do is live.
Albert Camus
Image
Where there is no hope, we must invent it.

Albert Camus
Image
[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
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
If only nature is real and if, in nature, only desire and destruction are legitimate, then, in that all humanity does not suffice to assuage the thirst for blood, the path of destruction must lead to universal annihilation.
Albert Camus
Image
Does the end justify the means? That is possible. But what will justify the end? To that question, which historical thought leaves pending, rebellion replies: the means.
Albert Camus
Image
The struggle to the top alone will make a human heart SWELL.
Albert Camus
Image
When I was young, I expected from people more than they could give: neverending friendship and constant excitement. Now I expect less than they can actually can give: to stay close silently. And their feelings, friendship, noble deeds always seem like a miracle to me: a true grace.

There is no shame in preferring happiness.
