Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Thoughts of suicide have got me through many a bad night.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Integrity needs no rules.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
Albert Camus
Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.
Albert Camus
We have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
The contradiction is this: man rejects the world as it is, without accepting the necessity of escaping it. In fact, men cling to the world and by far the majority do not want to abandon it.
Albert Camus
One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.
Albert Camus
