Albert Camus
Image
Proof is never definitive, after all one has to begin again with each new person.
Albert Camus
Image
The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.
Albert Camus
Image
The soul of a murderer is blind
Albert Camus
Image
In the end, we would like not to be guilty while at the same time being dispensed of the effort of purifying ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue.
Albert Camus
Image
Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful
Albert Camus
Image
... We need the sweet pain of anticipation to tell us we are really alive.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus
Image
When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.
