I am too far away from what I love and my distance is without remedy.
Albert Camus
Image
I can feel this heart inside me and I conclude it exists. I can touch this world and I also conclude that it exists. All my knowledge ends at this point. The rest is hypothesis.
Albert Camus
Image
Over there, in Europe, all was shame and anger. Here it was exile or solitude, among these languid and agitated madmen who danced in order to die.
Albert Camus
Image
I longed to be forgotten in order to be able to complain to myself.
Albert Camus
