The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
Image
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
Image
What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
Image
At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
Albert Camus
Image
The loss of love is the loss of all rights, even though one had them all.
Albert Camus
Image
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth and freedom, having few lovers, are demanding mistresses.
