Albert Camus

Albert Camus
I love life - that’s my real weakness. I love it so much that I am incapable of imagining what is not life.
Albert Camus
On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.
Albert Camus
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
That's love, giving everything, sacrificing all without hope of return.
Albert Camus
I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Albert Camus
The absurd is lucid reason noting its limits.
Albert Camus
