Without work all life goes rotten.
Albert Camus
Image
And indeed it could be said that once the faintest stirring of hope became possible, the dominion of plague was ended.
Albert Camus
Image
The absurd is a shadow cast over everything we do and even if we try to live life as if it has meaning as if there are reasons for doing things the absurd will linger in the back of our minds as a nagging doubt that perhaps there is no point.
Albert Camus
Image
The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.
Albert Camus
Image
We spend our days in deliberating, and we end them without coming to any resolve.

Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings. The worm is in man's heart. That is where it must be sought. One must follow and understand this fatal game that leads from lucidity in the face of existence to flight from light.
Albert Camus
Image
When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.
Albert Camus

Albert Camus

Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
Albert Camus
Image
One might think, that a period which, within fifty years, uproots, enslaves or kills seventy million human beings, should only, and forthwith, be condemned. But also its guilt must be understood.
Albert Camus
Image
Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.
Albert Camus
Image
To write is to become disinterested. There is a certain renunciation in art.
Albert Camus
Image
life is a story and god is author.life is absurd.I think so.
Albert Camus
Image
Artistic creation is a demand for unity and a rejection of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
This world, such as it is, is not tolerable. Therefore I need the moon, or happiness, or immortality, I need something which is perhaps demented, but which is not of this world.
Albert Camus
Image
Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
Albert Camus

My dear friend, we mustn't give them even the slightest excuse to judge us! Otherwise, we end up in pieces.
Albert Camus
