Here lives a free man. Nobody serves him.
Albert Camus
Image
If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of acompletely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.
Albert Camus
Image
If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.
Albert Camus
Image
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.
Albert Camus
Image
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given.
Albert Camus

Sometimes, from beyond the skycrapers, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.
Albert Camus
Image

Albert Camus

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
I sometimes need to write things which I cannot completely control but which therefore prove that what is in me is stronger than I am.
Albert Camus
Image
The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge.
Albert Camus
Image
There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart.
Albert Camus
Image
Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.
Albert Camus
Image
But it's not easy. I've been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn't need words to make ourselves understood. But people don't love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn't.
Albert Camus
Image
The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.
Albert Camus
Image
The French Revolution gave birth to no artists but only to a great journalist, Desmoulins, and to an under-the-counter writer, Sade. The only poet of the times was the guillotine.
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is not a gift received from the State or leader, but a possession to be won every day by the effort of each and the union of all.
Albert Camus
Image
The danger of lectures is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners.
Albert Camus
Image
In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion in order to serve others better, one has to hold them at a distance for a time. But where can one find the solitude necessary to vigor, the deep breath in which the mind collects itself and courage gauges its strength? There remain big cities.
Albert Camus
Image
Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming an oppressor or a heretic.
Albert Camus
Image
In this vast country that he had so loved, he was alone.
Albert Camus
