Image
You make the mistake of thinking you have to choose, that you have to do what you want, that there are conditions for happiness. What matters — all that matters, really is the will to happiness, a kind of enormous, ever present consciousness. The rest - women , art, success — is nothing but excuses. A canvas waiting for our embroideries.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
Albert Camus
Image
Again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. (The Plague)
Albert Camus
Image
I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
Albert Camus
Image
... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
Albert Camus

As soon as one does not kill oneself, one must keep silent about life.
Albert Camus

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

Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Albert Camus
Image
In Oran, as elsewhere, for want of time and thought, people have to love one another without knowing it.
Albert Camus
Image
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus
Image
The rebel can never find peace. He knows what is good and, despite himself, does evil. The value which supports him is never given to him once and for all - he must fight to uphold it, unceasingly.
Albert Camus
Image
There was the same dazzling red glare. The sea gasped for air with each shallow, stifled wave that broke on the sand. ...with every blade of light that flashed off the sand, from a bleached shell or a peice of broken glass, my jaws tightened. I walked for a long time.
Albert Camus
Image
Since the order of the world is shaped by death, mightn't it be better for God if we refuse to believe in Him, and struggle with all our might against death without raising our eyes towards the heaven where He sits in silence?
Albert Camus
Image
Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices.
Albert Camus
Image
Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty.
Albert Camus
Image
The only conception of freedom I can have is that of the prisoner or the individual in the midst of the State. The only one I know is freedom of thought and action.
Albert Camus
Image
If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.
Albert Camus
