Albert Camus
Image
There is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom insight and life of each person who has known and loved it.

Image
Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.
Albert Camus
Image
Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings. The worm is in man's heart. That is where it must be sought. One must follow and understand this fatal game that leads from lucidity in the face of existence to flight from light.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
To me, art is not a solitary delight. It is a means of stirring the greatest number of men by providing them with a privileged image of our common joys and woes.
Albert Camus
Image
And so I learned that familiar paths traced in the dusk of summer evenings may lead as well to prison as to innocent untroubled sleep.
Albert Camus
Image
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible.
Albert Camus
Image
Like great works, deep feelings always mean more than they are conscious of saying.
Albert Camus
Image
The workman of today works every day in his life at the same tasks, and this fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious.
Albert Camus
Image
The look of success, when it is worn a certain way, would infuriate a jackass.
Albert Camus
Image
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
Image
Revolt and revolution both wind up at the same crossroads: the police, or folly.
Albert Camus
Image
Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.
Albert Camus
