Image
Yes, and when the love of life disappears, no meaning can console us.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, everything is simple. It's people who complicate things.
Albert Camus
Image
Big tears of frustration and exhaustion were streaming down his cheeks. But because of all the wrinkles, they weren't dripping off. They spread out and ran together again, leaving a watery film over his ruined face.
Albert Camus
Image
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus
Image
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.
Albert Camus
Image
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.

The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.
Albert Camus
Image
You always get exaggerated notions of things you don't know anything about.
Albert Camus
Image
I lived with the only continuity, day to day, of the me-me-me.
Albert Camus
Image
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
Image
[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
Albert Camus
Image
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
Image
The truth, as the light, makes blind.
Albert Camus
Image
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
The kingdom of heaven will, in fact, appear on earth , but it will be ruled over by men a mere handful to begin with, who will be the Cassars, because they were the first to understand and later, with time, by all men.
Albert Camus
Image
The important thing isn't the soundness or otherwise of the argument, but for it to make you think.
Albert Camus
