Albert Camus

Albert Camus
On good days, if you trust life, life has to answer you.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.

Albert Camus
Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian.
Albert Camus
I would rather not have upset him, but I couldn't see any reason to change my life. Looking back on it, I wasn't unhappy. When I was a student, I had lots of ambitions like that. But when I had to give up my studies I learned very quickly that none of it really mattered.
Albert Camus
Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction, therefore it destroys freedom.
Albert Camus
From Paul to Stalin, the popes who have chosen Caesar have prepared the way for Caesars who quickly learn to despise popes.
Albert Camus
