Life is the sum of your choices.
Albert Camus
Image
At times I feel myself overtaken by an immense tenderness for these people around me who live in the same century.
Albert Camus
Image
... I suppose that it is not so easy to go home and it takes a bit of time to make a son out of a stranger.
Albert Camus
Image
Forever I shall be a stranger to myself. In psychology as in logic, there are truths but no truth.
Albert Camus
Image
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Albert Camus
Image
All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.
Albert Camus
Image
We rarely confide in those who are better than we are.
Albert Camus

A man who has become conscious of the absurd is for ever bound to it.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who love, friends and lovers, know that love is not only a blinding flash, but also a long and painful struggle in the darkness for the realization of definitive recognition and reconciliation.
Albert Camus
Image
If it adapts itself to what the majority of our society wants, art will be a meaningless recreation.
Albert Camus
Image
In the next few years the struggle will not be between utopia and reality, but between different utopias, each trying to impose itself on reality ... we can no longer hope to save everything, but ... we can at least try to save lives, so that some kind of future, if perhaps not the ideal one, will remain possible.
Albert Camus
Image
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
Albert Camus
Image
I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.
Albert Camus
Image
I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
Image
Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
Albert Camus
Image
But who would dare condemn me in this world with no judges, where no one is innocent!
Albert Camus
Image
Our reason has driven all away. Alone at last, we end up ruling over a desert.
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
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Image
Every authentic work of art is a gift offered to the future.
Albert Camus
