Albert Camus
Image
I hadn't understood how days could be both long and short at the same time: long to live through, maybe, but so drawn out that they ended up flowing into one another. They lost their names. Only 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' still had any meaning for me.
Albert Camus
Image
The act of love is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.
Albert Camus
Image
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.

I had only a little time left and I didn't want to waste it on God.
Albert Camus
Image
To lose one's life is no great matter when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living.
Albert Camus

Don't let them tell us stories.
Albert Camus
Image
This very heart which is mine will forever remain indefinable to me. Between the certainty I have of my existence and the content I try to give to that assurance, the gap will never be filled. Forever I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
Image
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
For who would dare to assert that eternal happiness can compensate for a single moment's human suffering
Albert Camus
Image
It's not your pictures I like it's your painting.
Albert Camus
Image
There may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones.
Albert Camus
Image
To live is to hurt others, and through others, to hurt oneself. Cruel earth! How can we manage not to touch anything? To find what ultimate exile?
Albert Camus
Image
Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and historical tasks is an actual or potential assassin.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one freedom, To put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved, and not the reverse.
Albert Camus
Image
Murder is terribly exhausting.
Albert Camus
Image
If only nature is real and if, in nature, only desire and destruction are legitimate, then, in that all humanity does not suffice to assuage the thirst for blood, the path of destruction must lead to universal annihilation.
Albert Camus
