Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Albert Camus
Image
Beware of those who say: I know this too well to be able to express it. For if they cannot do so, this is because they don't know it or because out of laziness they stopped at the outer crust.
Albert Camus
Image
I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold.
Albert Camus
Image
For ever, I shall be a stranger to myself.
Albert Camus
Image
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences.
Albert Camus
Image
Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.
Albert Camus
