Albert Camus

At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
Albert Camus

Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
Image
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.
Albert Camus
Image
Have pity, Lord, on those who love and are separated.
Albert Camus
Image
I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.
Albert Camus
Image
We are condemned to live together.
Albert Camus
Image
Only the sea, murmurous behind the dingy checkerboard of houses, told of the unrest, the precariousness, of all things in this world.
Albert Camus
Image
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus
Image
Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate.
Albert Camus
