Albert Camus
To create is likewise to give a shape to one's fate
Albert Camus
Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.
Albert Camus
By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert Camus
The most elementary form of rebellion, paradoxically , expresses an aspiration for order .
Albert Camus
I may not have been sure about what really did interest me, but I was absolutely sure about what didn't.
Albert Camus
We don't have the time to completely be ourselves. We only have the room to be happy.
Albert Camus
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
