Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.
Albert Camus
Image
Myths are made for the imagination to breath life into them.
Albert Camus
Image
To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
Albert Camus
Image
The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.
Albert Camus
Image
Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.
Albert Camus
Image
A trial cannot be conducted by announcing the general culpability of a civilization. Only the actual deeds which, at least, stank in the nostrils of the entire world were brought to judgment.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
There is not one talent for living and another for creating. The same suffices for both. And one can be sure that the talent that could not produce but an artificial work could not sustain but a frivolous life.
Albert Camus
Image
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are no more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Albert Camus
Image
The struggle to reach the top is itself enough to fulfill the heart of man. One must believe that Sisyphus is happy.
Albert Camus
Image
We are all special cases.
Albert Camus
Image
Since we're all going to die, it's obvious that when and how don't matter.
Albert Camus
Image
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
Image
We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.
Albert Camus
Image
When the imagination sleeps, words are emptied of their meaning: a deaf population absent-mindedly registers the condemnation of a man. ... there is no other solution but to speak out and show the obscenity hidden under the verbal cloak.
Albert Camus
Image
The ancients, even though they believed in destiny , believed primarily in nature , in which they participated wholeheartedly. To rebel against nature amounted to rebelling against oneself. It was butting one's head against a wall.
Albert Camus
Image
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
Image
The true work of art is always on the human scale. It is essentially the one that says, 'less.
Albert Camus
Image
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
