Albert Camus

Albert Camus
A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.
Albert Camus
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
Albert Camus
One always has exaggerated ideas about what one doesn't know.
Albert Camus
I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored
Albert Camus
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
For there is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving.
Albert Camus
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
