Albert Camus
Image
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
Image
Charm is a way of getting the answer 'Yes' without asking a clear question.
Albert Camus
Image
In the world there is, parallel to the force of death and constraint, an enormous force of persuasion that is called culture.
Albert Camus
Image
If God did not exist, we should have to invent him. If God did exist, we should have to abolish Him.
Albert Camus
Image
To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
Image
What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.
Albert Camus
