When I was young I asked more of people than they could give: everlasting friendship, endless feeling. Now I know to ask less of them than they can give: a straightforward companionship. And their feelings, their friendship, their generous actions seem in my eyes to be wholly miraculous: a consequence of grace alone.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
From Pandora's Box, where all the ills of humanity swarmed, the Greeks drew out hope after all the others, as the most dreadful of all. I know no more stirring symbol for, contrary to the general belief, hope equals resignation. And to live is not to resign oneself.
Albert Camus

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
Image
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
Image
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.

I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
