Albert Camus
Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents
Albert Camus
A true masterpiece does not tell everything.
Albert Camus
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Albert Camus
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

Albert Camus
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
To be famous, in fact, one has only to kill one's landlady.
Albert Camus
[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
Albert Camus
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
One cannot be a part-time nihilist.
Albert Camus
Once one's up against it, the precise manner of one's death has obviously small importance.
Albert Camus
At a certain level of suffering or injustice no one can do anything for anyone. Pain is solitary.
Albert Camus
