Albert Camus
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

Albert Camus
The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.
Albert Camus
The first choice an artist makes is precisely to be an artist, and if he chooses to be an artist it is in consideration of what he is himself and because of a certain idea he has of art
Albert Camus
O light! This the cry of all the characters of ancient drama brought face to face with their fate. This last resort was ours, too, and I knew it now. In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.
Albert Camus
It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.
Albert Camus
