Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable.
Albert Camus
Image
She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her.
Albert Camus
Image
I've seen of enough of people who die for an idea. I don't believe in heroism I know it's easy and I've learned it can be murderous. What interests me is living and dying for what one loves.
Albert Camus
Image
What did it matter if he existed for two or for twenty years? Happiness was the fact that he had existed.
Albert Camus
Image
It is immoral not to tell.
Albert Camus
Image
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Albert Camus
Image
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
Albert Camus
Image
Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.
Albert Camus
Image
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus
Image
It is not rebellion itself which is noble but the demands it makes upon us.
Albert Camus
Image
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
Image
Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.
Albert Camus
Image
We are living in the era of premeditation and the perfect crime. Our criminals are no longer helpless children who could plead love as their excuse. On the contrary, they are adults and the have the perfect alibi: philosophy, which can be used for any purpose - even for transforming murderers into judges.
Albert Camus
Image
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
Image
The most loathsome materialism is not the kind people usually think of, but the sort that attempts to let dead ideas pass for living realities, diverting into sterile myths the stubborn and lucid attention we give to what we have within us that must forever die.
Albert Camus
Image
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.
Albert Camus
Image
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
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
Image
Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Albert Camus
Image
Still, obviously, one can't be sensible all the time.
Albert Camus
