Image
Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.

Albert Camus
Image
It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it-just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
Albert Camus
Image
Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity.
Albert Camus
Image
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
Image
Every stone here sweats with suffering, I know that. I have never looked at them without a feeling of anguish. But deep in my heart I know that the most wretched among you have seen a divine face emerge from their darkness. That is the face you are asked to see.

I hope the dogs don't bark tonight. I always think it's mine

Some are created to love, while the others - to live.

Nothing in the world is worth turning one's back on what one loves.

It's not the struggle that makes us artists, but Art that makes us struggle.
Albert Camus

To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
