Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.
Albert Camus
I know [my label], in any case: a double face, a charming Janus, and underneath, the house motto: Be wary. On my business cards:Jean-Baptiste Clamence, actor.
Albert Camus
It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.
Albert Camus
I was absent at the moment I took up the most space.
Albert Camus
Rebellion, in man, is the refusal to be treated as an object and to be reduced to simple historical terms. It is the affirmation of a nature common to all men, which eludes the world of power.
Albert Camus
