After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Albert Camus
Image
For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.
Albert Camus
Image
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus
Image
The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.
Albert Camus
Image
The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.
Albert Camus
Image
No excuses ever, for anyone that is my principle at the outset. I deny the good intention, the respectable mistake, the indiscretion, the extenuating circumstance. With me there is no giving of absolution or blessing.
Albert Camus

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
I conceived at least one great love in my life, of which I was always the object.
Albert Camus
Image
This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world.
Albert Camus
Image
Every rebellion implies some kind of unity.
Albert Camus
Image
Heroism is accessible. Happiness is more difficult.
Albert Camus
Image
Life is a sum of all your choices. So, what are you doing today?
Albert Camus
Image
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
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.
Albert Camus
Image
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.
Albert Camus
Image
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Image
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
