Albert Camus
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her.

Albert Camus
There is only one class of men, the privileged class
Albert Camus
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.
Albert Camus
As for Hitler, his professed religion unhesitatingly juxtaposed the God-Providence and Valhalla. Actually his god was an argument at a political meeting and a manner of reaching an impressive climax at the end of speeches.
Albert Camus
I don't want to represent man as he is, but only as he might be.
Albert Camus
I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
I was comfortable in all, I admit, but at the same time, nothing satisfied me. Each joy made me seek another.
Albert Camus
Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.
Albert Camus
Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert Camus
My chief occupation, despite appearances, has always been love.
Albert Camus
It is better to burn than to disappear.
Albert Camus
The main thing is that everything become simple, easy enough for a child to understand.
Albert Camus
In our well-policed society we recognize that an illness is serious from the fact that we don't dare speak of it directly.
Albert Camus
