Albert Camus
It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
Albert Camus
What did it matter if he existed for two or for twenty years? Happiness was the fact that he had existed.
Albert Camus
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Albert Camus
Blessed are the hearts that can bend they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
Real fulfillment, for the man who allows absolutely free rein to his desires, and who much dominate everything, lies in hatred.
Albert Camus
The truth is that nothing is less sensational than pestilence, and by reason of their very duration great misfortunes are monotonous.
