Am well. Thinking of you always. Love
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
The first progressive step for a mind overwhelmed by the strangeness of things is to realize that this feeling of strangeness is shared with all men and that human reality, in its entirety, suffers from the distance which separates it from the rest of the universe.
Albert Camus
Image
Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise. Love demands the impossible, the absolute, the sky on fire, inexhaustible springtime, life after death, and death itself transfigured into eternal life.
Albert Camus
Image
Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.
Albert Camus
Image
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus
Image
stupidity has a knack of getting its way as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves
Albert Camus
Image
Every rebellion implies some kind of unity.
Albert Camus
