In the world today, only a philosophy of eternity could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus
Image
I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
Albert Camus
Image
I felt as though I was partly unlearning what i had never learned and yet knew so well: I mean, how to live.
Albert Camus
Image
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
Image
We are not so mad as to think that we shall create a world in which murder will not occur. We are fighting for a world in which murder will no longer be legal.
Albert Camus

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
Image
The slave and those whose present life is miserable and who can find no consolation in the heavens are assured that at least the future belongs to them. The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to the slaves.
Albert Camus
Image

The truth, as the light, makes blind.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus
Image
Without freedom there is no art.
Albert Camus
Image
Creating is living doubly. The groping, anxious quest of a Proust, his meticulous collecting of flowers, of wallpapers, and of anxieties, signifies nothing else.
Albert Camus
Image
The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but theconsequences and rules of action drawn from it.
Albert Camus
Image
Have you no hope at all? And do you really live with the thought that when you die, you die, and nothing remains? Yes, I said.
Albert Camus
Image
To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself - limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.
Albert Camus
Image
There are plagues, and there are victims, and it's the duty of good men not to join forces with the plagues.
Albert Camus
Image
The reasoning is classic in its clarity. If God does not exist, Kirilov is god. If God does not exist, Kirilov must kill himself. Kirilov must therefore kill himself to become god. That logic is absurd, but it is what is needed.
Albert Camus
