This is the century of fear.
Albert Camus
Image
At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.
Albert Camus
Image
Life should be lived to the point of tears
Albert Camus
Image
The realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning.
Albert Camus
Image
I don’t know whether this world has a meaning that transcends it. But I know that I cannot know that meaning and that it is impossible for me just now to know it.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.
Albert Camus
Image
There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.
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
Virtue cannot separate itself from reality without becoming a principle of evil.
Albert Camus
Image
Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders.
Albert Camus
Image
Independence is earned by a few words of cheap confidence
Albert Camus
Image
Absolute virtue is impossible and the republic of forgiveness leads, with implacable logic, to the republic of the guillotine.
Albert Camus
Image
So the thing that bothered me most was that the condemned man had to hope the machine would work the first time.
Albert Camus
Image
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus
Image
One must place one's principles in big things. For the small, graciousness will suffice.
Albert Camus
Image
Betrayal answers betrayal, the mask of love is answered by the disappearance of love.
Albert Camus
Image
Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?
Albert Camus
Image
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
Albert Camus
Image
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
Image
The day when I am no more than a writer I shall cease to be a writer.
Albert Camus
