Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
Image
O light! This the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Image
Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.
Albert Camus
Image
Men die and they are not happy.
Albert Camus

I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
I knew that I had shattered the harmony of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I'd been happy. Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace. And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
It's better to bet on this life than on the next.
Albert Camus
Image
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus

We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.
Albert Camus
Image
After a short silence the doctor raised himself a little in his chair and asked if Tarrou had an idea of the path to follow for attaining peace. Yes, he replied. The path of sympathy.
Albert Camus
Image
His own faith, however, was not lacking in virtues since it consisted in acknowledging obscurely that he would be granted much without ever deserving anything.
Albert Camus
Image
Holland is a dream, Monsieur, a dream of gold and smoke-smokier by day, more gilded by night. And night and day that dream is peopled with Lohengrins like these, dreamily riding their black bicycles with high handle-bars, funereal swans constantly drifting throughout the whole country, around the seas, along the canals.
Albert Camus
Image
Ironic philosophies produce passionate works.
Albert Camus
Image
In a world that has ceased to believe in sin, the artist is responsible for the preaching.
Albert Camus
Image
One grows out of pity when it's useless.
Albert Camus
Image
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
