Albert Camus
Image
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Albert Camus
Image
The urge to revolt is one of the essential dimensions of human nature.
Albert Camus
Image
I was tormented by my desire for a woman ... I thought so much about a woman, about women, about all the ones I had known, about all the circumstances in which I had enjoyed them, that my cell would be filled with their faces and crowded with my desires.
Albert Camus
Image
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
Albert Camus
Image
What will be left of the power of example if it is proved that capital punishment has another power, and a very real one, which degrades men to the point of shame, madness, and murder?
Albert Camus
