Albert Camus
Image
A craving for freedom and independence is generated only in a man still living on hope.
Albert Camus

Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.
Albert Camus
Image
I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn't even say that this was hard to stomach really, there's no idea to which one doesn't get acclimatized in time.
Albert Camus
Image
There is no love of life without despair of life.
Albert Camus
Image
What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.
Albert Camus
Image
But what does it mean, the plague? It's life, that's all.
Albert Camus
Image
...there was only one thing that interested her and that was getting into bed with men whenever she'd the chance. And I warned her straight. 'You'll be sorry one day, my girl, and wish you'd got me back'.
Albert Camus
Image
There are more things to admire in men than to despise.
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
