Image
Truth, like light, is blinding. Lies, on the other hand, are a beautiful dusk, which enhances the value of each object.
Albert Camus
Image
Myths are made for the imagination to breath life into them.
Albert Camus
Image
In the next few years the struggle will not be between utopia and reality, but between different utopias, each trying to impose itself on reality ... we can no longer hope to save everything, but ... we can at least try to save lives, so that some kind of future, if perhaps not the ideal one, will remain possible.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
Image
Tout re volutionnaire finit en oppresseur ou en he re tique. Every revolutionary ends as an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Image
All healthy men have thought of their own suicide
Albert Camus
Image
As for Hitler, his professed religion unhesitatingly juxtaposed the God-Providence and Valhalla. Actually his god was an argument at a political meeting and a manner of reaching an impressive climax at the end of speeches.
Albert Camus
Image
Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn't much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.
Albert Camus
Image
There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.
Albert Camus
Image
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
Image
Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful you have a right only to their skepticism.
Albert Camus
Image
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
Image
Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
Image
Only he who is uncompromising as to his rights maintains the sense of duty.
Albert Camus
Image
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
Image
You must have a love, a great love, to ensure an alibi at unjustified despairs that conquer all of us
Albert Camus
Image
If those whom we begin to love could know us as we were before meeting them they could perceive what they have made of us.
Albert Camus
Image
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
Albert Camus
Image
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
