Men die and they are not happy.
Albert Camus
Image
What's natural is the microbe. All the rest-heath, integrity, purity (if you like)-is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention.
Albert Camus
Image
I feel more fellowship with the defeated than with saints.
Albert Camus
Image
A stranger to myself and to the world, armed solely with a thought that negates itself as soon as it asserts, what is this condition in which I can have peace only by refusing to know and to live, in which the appetite for conquest bumps into walls that defy its assaults?
Albert Camus
Image
Everything is true, and nothing is true!
Albert Camus

Albert Camus
Image
If, after all, men cannot always make history have a meaning, they can always act so that their own lives have one.
Albert Camus
Image
Our civilization survives in the complacency of cowardly or malignant minds -- a sacrifice to the vanity of aging adolescents
Albert Camus
Image
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus
Image
A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus
Image
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
Albert Camus
Image
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Albert Camus
Image
I knew a pure heart who refused tot be mistrustful.... He had written at his doorstep: From wherever you are, enter and be welcome. Who do you think responded to this lovely invitation? The militia, who made themselves at home and gutted him.
Albert Camus
Image
In short, they were gambling on their luck, and luck is not to be coerced.
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
After all, I do not have so many ways of proving that I am free. We is always free at the expense of someone else. It is a bother,but it is normal.
Albert Camus
