Albert Camus
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus
L'absurde est la notion essentielle et la premie' re ve? rite? . The absurd is the fundamental idea and the first truth.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
The more I accuse myself, the more right I have to judge you. Even better, I make you judge yourself, which comforts me the more.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I don't want to represent man as he is, but only as he might be.
Albert Camus
If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there.
Albert Camus
Je puis nier une chose sans me croire obligé de la salir ou de retirer aux autres le droit d'y croire.
Albert Camus
The mistake that men make is that they do not believe in theater. Otherwise, they would know that every man is allowed to play thecelestial tragedies and to become god. All he has to do is harden his heart.
Albert Camus
Women are all we know of paradise on this earth.
Albert Camus
Rule: Start by looking for what is valid in every man.
Albert Camus
