The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
Image
There is always a certain hour of the day and of the night when a man’s courage is at its lowest ebb, and it was that hour only that he feared.
Albert Camus
Image
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
Albert Camus
Image
In the past, the poverty they shared had a certain sweetness about it. When the end of the day came and they would eat their dinner in silence with the oil lamp between them, there was a secret joy in such simplicity, such retrenchment.
Albert Camus
Image
... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Albert Camus

stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves
Albert Camus

Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
There can be no question of masking the evidence, of suppressing the absurd by denying one of the terms of its equation. It is essential to know whether one can live with it or whether, on the other hand, logic commands one to die of it.
Albert Camus
Image
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Albert Camus
Image
Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.
Albert Camus
Image
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
Image
Working conditions for me have always been those of the monastic life: solitude and frugality. Except for frugality, they are contrary to my nature, so much so that work is a violence I do to myself.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Albert Camus
Image
The more I produce, the less I am certain. On the road along which the artist walks, night falls ever more densely. Finally, he dies blind.
Albert Camus
Image
A nihilist is not one who believes in nothing , but one who does not believe in what exists.
Albert Camus
Image
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
Albert Camus
