Albert Camus
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
A man is more a man through the things he keeps to himself than through those he says.
Albert Camus
I have never been able, really, to regret anything in all my life. I have always been far much too absorbed in the present moment or the immediate future to think back.
Albert Camus
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.

Albert Camus
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

Albert Camus
I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.
Albert Camus
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
Albert Camus
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Albert Camus
[Many artists], even the greatest ones, are not sure of their own existence. So they search for proof, they judge, they condemn. It strengthens them, it is the beginnings of existence. They are alone!
Albert Camus
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
Albert Camus
There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.
Albert Camus
…there's no question of heroism in all this. It's a matter of common decency. That's an idea which may make some people smile, but the only means of fighting a plague is - common decency.
Albert Camus
It is a well-known fact that we always recognize our homeland at the moment we are about to lose it.
Albert Camus
So all a man could win in the conflict between plague and life was knowledge and memories.
Albert Camus
