Albert Camus
Image
The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.
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
It would be unjust, and moreover Utopian, for Shakespeare to direct the shoemakers' union. But it would be equally disastrous forthe shoemakers' union to ignore Shakespeare.
Albert Camus
