Albert Camus
We call first truths those we discover after all the others.
Albert Camus
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved
Albert Camus
Yes, I know what passion would fill me with all its power. Before, I was too young. I got in the way. Now I know that acting and loving and suffering is living, of course, but it’s only living insofar as you can be transparent and accept your fate, like the unique reflection of a rainbow of joys and passions which is the same for everyone.
Albert Camus
A man wants to earn money in order to be happy, and his whole effort and the best of a life are devoted to the earning of that money. Happiness is forgotten the means are taken for the end.
Albert Camus
Every minute of life carries with it its miraculous value, and its face of eternal youth.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
...he said firmly, God can help you. All the men I’ve seen in your position turned to Him in their time of trouble. Obviously, I replied, they were at liberty to do so, if they felt like it.

Albert Camus
There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
Albert Camus
Do not be surprised. I do not like writers and I cannot stand their lies. They speak so as not to listen to themselves speak. If they did listen, they would know that they are nothing and then they would no longer be able to speak.
Albert Camus
A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
I do not want to found anything on the incomprehensible. I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone.
Albert Camus
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
Albert Camus
The French Revolution gave birth to no artists but only to a great journalist, Desmoulins, and to an under-the-counter writer, Sade. The only poet of the times was the guillotine.
Albert Camus
