In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul
Albert Camus

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
This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world.
Albert Camus
Image
A sub-clerk in the post-office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them.
Albert Camus
Image
Who taught you all this, doctor? The reply came promptly: Suffering.
Albert Camus
Image
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
Image
We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.
Albert Camus
