Image
We [writers] must know that we can never escape the common misery and that our only justification, if indeed there is a justification, is to speak up, insofar as we can, for those who cannot do so.
Albert Camus
Image
It is always easy to be logical. It is almost impossible to be logical to the bitter end.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
In Holland, everyone is an expert in painting and in tulips.
Albert Camus
Image
And I too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
Albert Camus
Image
Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.

Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth
Albert Camus
Image
Truth, like light is dazzling. By contrast, untruth is a beautiful sunset that enhances everything.
Albert Camus
Image
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus

...Any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
Albert Camus
Image
The certainty of a God giving meaning to life far surpasses in attractiveness the ability to behave badly with impunity. The choice would not be hard to make. But there is no choice and that is where the bitterness comes in. The absurd does not liberate it binds.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
Wandering seemed no more than the happiness of an anxious man.
Albert Camus
Image
What must be remembered in any case is that secret complicity that joins the logical and the everyday to the tragic.
Albert Camus
Image
Every writer, big or small, needs to say or write that the genius is always hissed at by his contemporaries. Naturally, this is not true, it happens only occasionally and often by chance. But this need within the writer is enlightening.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel.
Albert Camus
Image
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus
Image
We come into the world laden with the weight of an infinite necessity.
Albert Camus
Image
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
