Albert Camus
Image
There is a terrible emptiness in me, an indifference that hurts.
Albert Camus
Image
I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who prefer their principles over their happiness, they refuse to be happy outside the conditions they seem to have attached to their happiness.
Albert Camus
Image
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
Image
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.
Albert Camus
Image
Fancy language, like poplin, too often conceals an eczema.
Albert Camus
Image
There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between.
Albert Camus
