We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.
Albert Camus
Image
Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus
Image
This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.
Albert Camus
Image
The only really committed artist is he who, without refusing to take part in the combat, at least refuses to join the regular armies and remains a freelance.
Albert Camus
Image
There is only one class of men, the privileged class
Albert Camus
Image
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Albert Camus
Image
I know simply that the sky will last longer than I.
Albert Camus
Image
If we understood the enigmas of life there would be no need for art.
Albert Camus
Image
Nothing can discourage the appetite for divinity in the heart of man.
Albert Camus
Image
Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.
Albert Camus
