But do you know why we are always more just and generous toward the dead? The reason is simple. With them there is no obligation. They leave us free and we can take our time, fit the testimonial between a cocktail party and a nice little mistress, in our spare time, in short.
Albert Camus

But sometimes it takes more courage to live than to shoot yourself.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus
Image
Lying is not only saying what isn't true. It is also, in fact especially, saying more than is true and, in the case of the human heart, saying more than one feels. We all do it, every day, to make life simpler.
Albert Camus
Image
Every ideology is contrary to human psychology.
Albert Camus
Image
The most knowledgeable person in one domain may be the most ignorant in another.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.
Albert Camus

Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.
Albert Camus
Image
I shall not, as far as I am concerned, try to pass myself off as a Christian in your presence. I share with you the same revulsion from evil. But I do not share your hope, and I continue to struggle against this universe in which children suffer and die.
Albert Camus
