A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
What is a rebel? A man who says no.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Albert Camus
Image
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus
Image
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus

For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.

To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
Image
... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
Albert Camus
Image
The slave and those whose present life is miserable and who can find no consolation in the heavens are assured that at least the future belongs to them. The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
Image
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Albert Camus
Image
The more I accuse myself, the more right I have to judge you. Even better, I make you judge yourself, which comforts me the more.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Albert Camus

May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!
Albert Camus
Image
What, in fact, is a novel but a universe in which action is endowed with form, where final words are pronounced, where people possess one another completely, and where life assumes the aspect of destiny?
Albert Camus
Image
No human being, even the most passionately loved and passionately loving, is ever in our possession.
Albert Camus
Image
I have a very old and very faithful attachment for dogs. I like them because they always forgive.
Albert Camus
Image
Heroism is accessible. Happiness is more difficult.
Albert Camus
Image
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
We are not so mad as to think that we shall create a world in which murder will not occur. We are fighting for a world in which murder will no longer be legal.
Albert Camus
