Humans are creatures, who spent their lifes trying to convince themselves, that their existence is not absurd
Albert Camus
Image
I have not stopped loving that which is sacred in this world.
Albert Camus
Image
The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
Image
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
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
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Albert Camus
Image
More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.
Albert Camus
Image
For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Albert Camus
Image
Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police, or folly.
Albert Camus
Image
All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world.
Albert Camus
Image
If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Albert Camus
Image
To feel absolutely right is the beginning of the end.
Albert Camus
Image
The great courage is to stare as squarely at the light as at death.
Albert Camus
Image
Politics and the fate of mankind are formed by men without ideals and without greatness. Those who have greatness within them do not go in for politics.
Albert Camus
Image
Great ideas come into the world as gently as doves.
Albert Camus

Empires and churches are born under the sun of death.
