Image
I have always thought it would be easier to redeem a man steeped in vice and crime than a greedy, narrow-minded, pitiless merchant.
Albert Camus
Image
I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.
Albert Camus
Image
The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
Albert Camus
Image
The ancients, even though they believed in destiny , believed primarily in nature , in which they participated wholeheartedly. To rebel against nature amounted to rebelling against oneself. It was butting one's head against a wall.
Albert Camus
Image
Maman used to say that you can always find something to be happy about. In my prison, when the sky turned red and a new day slipped into my cell, I found out that she was right.
Albert Camus
Image
If one could only say just once: 'this is clear', all would be saved

Albert Camus
Image
It would be unjust, and moreover Utopian, for Shakespeare to direct the shoemakers' union. But it would be equally disastrous forthe shoemakers' union to ignore Shakespeare.
Albert Camus
Image
There is merely bad luck in not being loved there is misfortune in not loving. All of us, today, are dying of this misfortune. For violence and hatred dry up the heart itself the long fight for justice exhausts the love that nevertheless gave birth to it.
Albert Camus
Image
But, you know, I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints. Heroism and sanctity don't really appeal to me, I imagine. What interests me is being a man.
Albert Camus
Image
Once crime was as solitary as a cry of protest now it is as universal as science. Yesterday it was put on trial today it determines the law.
Albert Camus
Image
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
Albert Camus
Image
At one time or another all normal people have wished their loved ones were dead.
Albert Camus
Image
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
The act of love is a confession.
Albert Camus
Image
Yes, I'm happy, in human terms.
Albert Camus
Image
Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.
Albert Camus

[Love] is the type of disease that spares neither the intelligent nor the idiotic.
