Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Believe me, religions are on the wrong track the moment they moralize and fulminate commandments. God is not needed to create guilt or to punish. Our fellow men suffice, aided by ourselves.
Albert Camus
And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others.

Albert Camus
The future is the only transcendental value for men without God.
Albert Camus
Madness such as this, its like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
Albert Camus
