Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
In art, rebellion is consummated and perpetuated in the act of real creation, not in criticism or commentary.
Albert Camus
Image
But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.
Albert Camus
Image
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
Albert Camus
Image
To understand one's world, one must sometimes turn away from it! To serve better, one must briefly hold it at a distance. Where can the necessary solitude be found, the long breathing space in which mind gathers its strength and takes stock of its courage.
Albert Camus
Image
What made me run away was doubtless not so much the fear of settling down, but of settling down permanently in something ugly.
Albert Camus
